Unappreciated Kindness of a COnsiderate

UnSPPreciated Kindness of a COnsiderate
Old Gentleman.
About four O'Clock the other after

the Philadelphia Record. AS they
curved their wheels out of Verang0

and pomPous man of middle age, and
with mustaches waxed a la militaire

voice full of command yelled: ''Stop!''
The cyclists instantly dismounted.
What's the matter?" inquired one
said the pompous man. ''Why, you must
have wheels in your head replied one
OF the riders: "we don't have to carry
lamps in daylight" ''Say, are you bi-
cycle cop? Where's your star?' asked
another wheelman. 81 beg your pardon,
gentlemen, if you took me for police

Peace LIS Nov Assured.

New YORK, July !2S.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Constantinople says:
The trade which spells peace has been
issued at last. The ambassadors and
Turkish representatives were yesterday
in friendly session several hours for the
purpose of carrsing out the work in
trusted to them of settling on the best
means of carrying out the terms of peace
agreed to by the sultan. On all sides
the strongest feelings of relief and satis-
faction are displayed. Several sessions
will have to be held before the workings
of all the details can be arranged.

HEAVY DAmAeE WAS CREATED
Disastrous Enects of the. STORM of
YoungstoWn, Ohio.


YoUNGsTowN, o., July 23.-The storm
which struck this city and vicinity at Z
O'Clock last night was very disastrous.
Cartheny Mayer was struck by light
ming and instantly killed.
The Mahonong river rose two feet in
an hour and washed away several
bridges. Grab creek, an Insignificant
stream, rose l5 feet in an incredibly
short space of time, doing great damage
in the lower portions of thecity. Houses
were washed away from their founda-
tions and men, women and children
were rescued from second-story windows,
a bathtub being used IN lieu of better
craft. Squaw creek Park, near the elcity,
was practically wiped out of existence.
Trains are beginning to move after 12
hours delay.
The estimated loss to this city alone
approaches 100000. The storm was
local, in many respects resembling r
cloudburst, the people being given little
warning.
Great loss of life was narrowly averted
at Spring Common foot bridge. Men,
women and children insisted on remain
ing to watch the angry waters below in
spite of the feet thrt the structure was
unsafe. Finally two policemen with
drawn clubs cleared the bridge, and a
few seconds later the bridge was swept
away.
Reports from the rural districts show
that the farmers suffered greatly. In
Trumbell county Is barns were struck
by lightning and burned. Crops were
destroyed and buildings generally dam
aged, but no loss of life is yet reported.

Warships at Brooklyn Preparing for
Sea Service.

New York, July 2S.-Orders have been
received at the Brooklyn navy-yard to
have all the vessels that are undergoing
repairs there ready for sea duty by the
end of the week. The vessels are to Join
the ships of the North Atlantic squadron
and the work of making the necessary
repairs to them Is being hurried.
The only ship now at the navy-yard
that will not join the squadron is the
Indiana. She is in bad condition and
her hull below the water line is very
foul. There is no dry-dock at present
available in which to put the vessel for
needed repairs. 1t is said the British
government will be asked to allow the
navy department the use of the dock at
Halifax, as it is the only one in which
the Indiana can be f1oated. This will be
the first time the government has been
compelled to ask foreign government
for the use of a dry-dock in which to
place one of Its ships tor repairs.
The new dry-dock, which was damaged
some time ago, and which is now under
going repairs, will not be ready for use
for about SIX months

The True Remadr.

w. NJ. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, ILL.,,
"Cheif," says: 1--WE won't keep house
without DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we used DIR.
Kings New Discovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in our home, as
in it we have certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc. -
1t is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on you as
just as good as DIR. Kings New Discov-
cry. They are not as good, because this
remedy has record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. 1t never fails to satisfy.
