Barrel of Alcohol Blew Up,

An explosion in a saloon in Suffolk
street, New York, recently was caused by
the tapping of barrel of alcohol in the
back part of the room. The barrel flew
into atoms and the bartenders hands and
face were badly burned. The building
was set on fire by the explosion.
The bartender is known only as Tony.
He had tapped the barrel, and was draw
ing alcohol from it when it blew up The
bartender carried no light nor is it known
that there was any fire in the place.
Tony was blown ten feet into a corner,
and every one in the saloon, including the
proprietor and his customers, was knocked
down and partly stunned. All picked
themselves up and ran into the street. One
OF the customers went back and helped
Tony out.

Shot ThrouEh IA Log.

At Christiansburg, w. Va, recently
Frank and VIII Collins, sons of Robert
Collins, went out into the woods with a
gun for days sport. About noon they
scared up ground hog, which ran into d
hollow log. Will went to one end and, ly.
ing down, peered into the hole. Frank
went to the other end, which lay so that
he could not see his brother. Frank had
the gun, and thinking he saw the animal
near his end of the log he fired. Tie bull
let passed through the log and struck his
brother fairly in the middle of the fore
head, killing him instantly.
Frank did not know that he had shot
his brother for nearly five minutes, only
hnding the dead body when he went tC
the other end of the log to look for his
game. -Philadelphi Press.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

the diseased portion of the ear. There
S only one way TO cure deafness and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the in.
tiammatiOn can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed cOndi.

THE LUCK OF M'LAURIN.

Unusual Pc Htical Record of South Caro-
lina's New Senator.
e. "Some men are born to be lucky in pol
itics," said c. c. Weaver of South Caro-
lima recently. 1.-THE luckiest man in our
country beyond doubt is Congressman
John L. McLaurin,
When Mac, as we cali him, was still
@ member Of the legislature, he was elect
ed attorney general Before his term in
shat office expired he was elected to the
Fifty second congress- and now he will
leave the house for the senate by virtue of
appointment. Governor Ellerbee could not
have done more popular thing than to
name him as Senator Earle s successor, for
MCLaurin has made q fine record in Wash
ingtOn as a representative and when it
comes to a primary election, which is the
mode we have of choosing a United States
senator, he can easily win over all compet-
itors "
Mr.. McLaurin is one of the younger and
more progressive of the southern contin-
gent in congress- He was born 81 years
ago, and his education was in part OBJ
tanned in a Pennsylvania college. Last
year he repudiated one of the cardinal
doctrines of Democratic tariff reform"
when he declared his opposition to SO
called free raw materials and his con-
version to the belief that If protection is
good for New England or PENNSYLVANIA it
would be equally beneficial to South Caro-
lima and the southern states in general.
In other respects Mr.. McLaurin has evinced
des1e and determination to rid himself
of some of the shackles which antebellum
traditions and habits have fastened upon
so many southern statesmen. To him not
long ago was ascribed the pungent remark
that southern men have fingered and
loafed too long round John c. Calhoun's
tombstone New York Tribune.

Bishop McCabe Tells Salisbury That De-
pew Is All Wrong.
Right Rev. c. c. McCabe bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal church, who resides
at Wilmington, o., passed through Pitts
burg recently on his way west. He has
just written to Lord Salisbury stating
that Dr. Cmuncey Depew is not an au-
thority on the feeling of America toward
England.
Mr.. Depew," said the bishop, "has
been trying to make the English believe
that the American people are very antag-
onistic to England and that as a people
they have very bitter feeling against the
mother country. This is not at all the
case. dare say there are people in this
country who are very hostile to England
but the better class of American citizens
entertain the most friendly feelings toward
England.
Il talk to more people all over the coun-
try than Mr.. Depew does, and 1 know
whereof | speak. l was so DESTROYS of cor
reoting the wrong impression given to the
English people by Mr.. Depew that l wrote
Salisbury at length on the subject New

A WATERY GRAVE.
TWO FIT. GAINES BOYS DROWN IN
THE CHATTAHOOCHEE.
One of Them Went in Deep Water
and the Other Went Down Trying
to Rescue Him.

Willie J. Green, eighteen years of age,
Fred Morris, fourteen, and Morris Green
twelve, went bathing in the river from a
sandbar three miles from FIT. Gaines.
While they were playing in the river
Fred Morris suddenly stepped into deep
water, and, being unable to swim out,
called for help. His cousin, Willie j.
Green, FASTENED to his assistance. The
drowning boy grabbed his cousin and
they became locked in each others arms.
For few moments they struggled in
the stream and their Mortified relatives
saw them go down together and be swept
away by the current. Both young men
were drowned and neither body was re-
covered,
The prominence of the two young men,
together with the very large family con-
nections, renders the affair an affection
to that community.

ALONG A BRIDGE RAIL.
Daring Feat of FooIhardy WheeIwoman
In Kansas City.

| In Kansas City.
Ever since Joe Henley made his periJoua
sprint across the ties of the Milwaukee
| bridge on the bare rims of his bicycle a
number of ambitious cyclists of Kansas
City have professed q willingness to equal
the performance. But until RECENTLY none
Of them had gone further than to ride out
and view the bridge. Now, however, a
woman, Dora Dewitt, has equaled Hen
ley's feat and has gone him one better for
she rode along on the outside of the rail of
the bridge across the Missouri in a space
only Is inches wide. 1t was hair raising
performance and one that is not likely to
be equaled soon.
Miss Dewitt rode light racer. The tires
had been removed, leaving only the bare
rims to ride on She started at q fast clip.
knowing that in no other way could she
get across, A single mishap would have
hurled her into the Missouri river 90 feet
below. Once, near the center of the bridge,
she swerved slightly, and for a few feet
the wheel rushed along within an inch of
the edge of the ties, but the girl was COOL
and in a moment she was in control of
her wheel and finished the trip without
further danger. The greatest peril was in
the depressions feet wide which exist at
regular intervals from one end of the
bridge to the other. But she crossed all of
these firmly, though the shock each time
seemed as if it would throw her from the
wheel. A the close Miss Dewitt's arms
were so numb that she could not lift them.
Several well known wheelmen witnessed
the feat.-St, LCuis Globe Democrat.

To Change the Climate of Canada.

A Boston man says he can change the
climate of New England and the maritime
provinces of Canada by building a dam
across the strait of Belle Isle, blocking it
and diverting the northern currents. The
dam would have to be ten miles long and
about 200 feet high and strong enough to
resist the ocean. He thinks this could be
done for 100000, and that it would
give the territory named climate much
like that of southern New York and New
Jersey.
