MIRACLES IN MEDICINE.
The Wonderful Progress Made Within
the Past Few Years.
Diseases That Our Mothers Thought lncurable
Nov Cured by Paine's Celery Compound.

It * difficult. almos. impossible, to
over-estimate the importance Of recent
advances in medicine and surgery.
In surgery there is the application OF
the X-ray IN determining complicated
fractures.
In medicine there IL the serum treat
ment for germ diseases. and more import
ant still, the extended use of Paine's Gel
cry compound in the treatment OF the
many diseases that arise from a faulty
or impaired nervous system.
This class OF ailments causes more SUI
fering and earlier deaths than all others,
and that is why SO much public promin-
ence was at once given 10 Paine's celery
compound when its discovery was first
announced by Prof. Phelps of Dartmouth
college.
The rapid an1 sure way that Paine's
celery compound cures neuralgia, rheu-
nat;Sm and nervous debility is marvellous
even in the eyes of this woodworking
quarter OF the century.
Ancient miracles were contrary 10 nat
ural laws. whereas the remarkable power
OF Pane's celery compound TO make peo-
pie well, comes from a better under
standing Of the natural causes of dis
ease.
That wonderful set OF nerves known as
the sympathetic nervous system" that
knits every part Of the body together and
ha-molizes al, is understood today as
never before. Many persons are not

Lively Wrangle at Pittsburg and u Wash
ington Officer bounced

Pittsburg, Pa. Jan. S.-One of the live
lest conventions of miners of the Pitts
burg district began in Knights of Labor
hall at 10 o'clock. There was a wrangle
over the seating OF some delegates. Only
thirtythree were admitted. During the
morning some Of the delegates demanded
an audit of the accounts of the local or
saniza lion. This caused quite stir and
the matter was under discussion when the
recess was taken for lunch. 1t is the
annual meeting and officers are to be
elected, but il is not likely that an cleo
ton will be held until tomorrow.

Ordinary Rates Are Charged. Except fss
Fireworks
The transportation of dynamite,
fireworks. and, in fact, all kinds of ex-
plosives," said leading manufacturer
of dynamite to Tribupe reporter the
other day, lis almost as common as that
of dry goods or groceries. High explo-
sives are shipped to all parts of the
world by rail and by water, and wheth-
er they arc on land or sea, they are not
particularly dangerous if they are prop
erly slowed and cared for. wouldn't
be afraid to make a voyage around the
world in q stateroom filled with dyna-
mite if it was properly slowed and there
were no Illuminating caps to ignite it.
Dynamite does not explode by sponta-
neous combustion. 1t is carefully
pscled for shipment in paper cart
ridges, which are placed In sawdust in
strong wooden boxes. which aro marked
on the tops and sides: Explosive.
Dangerous
Steamships which carry passengers
have magazines for dynamite, and, in
fact, also for black powder and all kinds
Of explosives. When the explosives are
properly placed in the magazine and
not interfered with afterward. they are
not a source OF danger under ordinary
circumstances. When they are shipped
on railroads they are generally placed
in separate cars apart from other kinds
Of freight. The rate of freight on ex-
plosives is about the same as that on
dry goods or any other commonplace
commercial commodity. The rate OF
insurance is also about the sarae an on
other goods. There are some English
and some American insurance COM
panies that will not take risks on ex-
plosives, but there are plenty of COM
panies which issue policies, so that there
is no trouble experiencedi in having ship
ments fully covered. Dynamite. with
proper care, can be handled as safely
as any ordinary commodity"
A prominent producer of fireworks
said: Fireworks can be shipped by
most lines of railroads and steamships,
but only at double frst-ciass freight
rates. The sound steamers will not
take fireworks. but the Metropolitan
outside line will, because they carry no
passengers. Most of the fireworks sent
east from here are shipped on the New
York, New Haven 4 Hartford railroad.
The Old Dominion and other southern
steamship lines will carry explosives
but only in separate compartments on

WILLIS GETS BETTER
San Francisco, Jan. S.-The condition
of Minister Willis, whose Illness at one
time caused his family and friends great
uneasiness, was improving when the
steamer Coptic left Honolulu. The
change for the better had been very
gradual during the last few days of the
old year, and at the date Of sailing he
was FAR from being able to sit up or
