Found an Alleged Gold Mine.

Ann Arbor, Mich, May There was
considerable excitement in this city over
the discovery of an alleged gold mine.
Laborers have been working for the past
few days on the farm Of Dr. Willard b.
Smith, juss outside the city, boring a
we'll. A quantity OF yellow metal was
thrown UP which had all the appearance
OF gold. DIR. Smith has taken several
specimens to the university and has also
sent some to the United States mint at
Philadelphia. Several mining experts
were on the gSound and claim that the
source of this metal is vein, 1t being
at first expected that perhaps it was
only pocket. The metal does not have
the amount of sulphur and iron which is
usual with ore of similar assay, If it
were not gold.

most of those who escaped, and dresses
were burned from the backs of their

'Going into a decline" How often do
we hear this expression. What does it

The way to correct this condition is TO

from an inability to eat and digest food. In
fact food does more harm than good be-

Prometheus was on terms of intimacy with

his liver. This grew again as fast as
it was pecked away. Are his sufferings to
be imagined?

HOLOCAUST AT PARIS
TWO HUNDRED OF THE CITY'S ARiS-
TOCRACY DEAD.

Caught While Attending N Bazaar for
Charity and Roasted to Death by the
Dozen = Bioodcurdling Scenes During
and after the Conhagration.
Paris, May 5.-All Paris is in a state
OF great excitement over the terrible dis
aster at the charitable bazaar in the
Rue Jean Goujon. How many are dead
Is not positively known. The building
caught fire while 1t was crowded with
the nobility, wealth and fashion of Paris
and before all got out the roof fell in.
The first report was that thirty-five
were killed. The bazaar is given an
nually for the benefit of the poor of
Paris and its managers are leaders in
the fore front of high society. The man.
ayers of the bazaar hadsarranged the
stalls so as to represent a street Of old
Paris, and 1t was opened Monday. The
proceeds of the sales at each stall were
devoted to separate charity.
Many of the NOblesse Are Victims.
Enormous crowds of people gathered
around the scene of the fire. Among
them were large number Of liveried
servants inquiring for their mistresses,
and the indications were that among the
dead would be a number Of the French
aristocracy, although 1t was hoped that
the missing ones might be found among
the injured who are at the hotels, hos
pitfalls or other places. Twenty corpses
and number of the most seriouly in
1ured were taken to the right wing of
the Palais D'Industrie. Before the fire.
men could arrive the roof of the bazaar
crushed in, burying numbers of those
who had been unable to make their
egress from the building. Very soon
after the alarm was given assistance
was hurried to the burning bazaar and
effective help was rapidly organized be-
tween the firemen and the policemen.
Roof Collapses on the People.
Although an alarm was sent out with
reasonable promptness the whole wood
en- structure was blazing before the fire.
men could approach the bazaar, the roof
and almost the whole building collapsed,
falling upon the unfortunate people,.
many Of whom are supposed to havepre-
viously succumbed to the sitting smoke.
In spite of the efforts Of the fremen
some time elapsed before the charred
bodies could be pulled from the smoking
and burning mass of debris covering the
spot which but short before had been
the scene OK so much gaiety. In the
meanwhile the pumps played on the
burning ruins. AS the work progressed
and the inquiries became more numer-
Gus and pressing it was seen that the
death rate world be much higher than
at first estimated. The police officials
say they believe it to be certain that
the number Of deaths will exceed 100,
recalling the terrible fire at the Opera
Comique.
