A Partisan Hero.

than score of women by dashing in

structure in which the Charity Bazaar
was being held on May 18th was burn

young dressmaker to whom he was en-
gagged at the time 1t may be remem-
bered that this modest hero. when he
returned to his work on the iIl-fated af
terno2n, did his utmost to keep his
valiant conduct secret, and 1t was
only when his employer insisted on
knowing how he had come by his
wound that he told the story of his
prowess, and then, overcome by emo

the gallant manner in which Picouet

cording to law said that they had not
forgotten how, on that memorable day
Whlch had put so many families

many lives to their relations. and how
his splendid conduct had been the ad-

was warmly to be congratulated on

the service was conducted in a very
pillilant manner, as the clergy had
MADE a special point of showing their
appreciation Of Picquet's behavior. the
rector in his discourse called him .I,e
premier sauveteur de France" and
spoke IN touching terms of the broth

there were deputations from various

noticed. In the evening the marriage

Told by the Chart,

superintendent Murphy, who takes a
Iatheriy interest in the machinery OF

the Chief day or two ago on expert

had excellent opportunities for acolir-

run it up again"
The Chief didn't smile
That may be considered clever in
Kansas City" he said, but it wouldn't
draw q second look in Cleveland. Years
ago we used to have man in the de-
partment who never made use of the
ladders at all. When he wanted to go
up TO the fifth story of a burning buid-
ing he would simply jump into the
stream from the nearest nozzle and let
it carry him up. When he wanted to
come down he'd watch his opportunity
and catch hold of the stream again and
slide TO the ground. He was the
lightest man I ever saw-we always
called him Corks''
Mr.. Murphy drew his breath very
hard.

emphasis, and went out.-Cleveland

The market is unchanged, and for
some fruit is lower. Frosted fruit is
certainly coming in here. One car
yesterday, which sold we'll up, owing
to its very high color, was remarkably
light in weight Another car of fine
fruit came from Philadelphia, and was
auctioned, making a low average, but
it had been somewhere for about three
weeks, and it is reported cost some
body So 65. 1t should have been put
down somebody's throat long ago. No
sales took place to-day, although there
are about twenty cars in Jersey City
We urge you not to send frosted or
anges this way, and hope that the rains
will have caused them to fall from the
trees, and that they will not be shipped,
at least to New York We look for
only moderate sales next week, owing
to small shipments out of your State

were auctioned to-day at So % to 81,
the bulk at 81 80 to "a %. Jamaica
receivers assure US the receipts from
there will dwindle off after this. A few
frosted Florida oranges in the auction
room to-day in poor condition. Apples
are very strong 50 to S4 per barrel,
and will not interfere in any way with
your later shipments.
We believe that shortly this market
will tone up, and we shall see very
much better demand than we have of
late. Some common Navels continue
to arrive here, and we urge our friends
not to send this kind, as it cannot do
well.
AS to grape fruit, the market stands
SO to 81, with every prospect of a
strong market here through the spring.
AS to lemons, 10000 boxes sold on
Wednesday at 50 % to 81 90. Another
steamer with 10000 will be here next
Tuesday, and we hope to see higher

DANGEROUS DAYS.
They Are Upon Us and They Need to B,
Watched Very Carefully


Watched Very Carefully.
OF all times of all seasons of the year,
this IS the most dangerous II is time
when the air is filled with disease, when
the wind watts pneumonia The deaths
from this one trouble alone are simply
alarming and in spite of all warnings they
seem to be increasing. Pneumonia comes
suddenly; it acts quickly; it far too often
results fatally. 1t is all the more dan
gerous because it comes unannounced. A
tickling in the throat tightness of the
chest and difficulty in breathing, an ex-
treme feeling of languor, all may mean the
beginning of pneumonia. Being so sudden
disease 1t requires above all things
prompt treatment. If a prompt reaction
is brought about the danger may be over;
If not, the end may be near. Any physician
who is called in a case of pneumonia pre-
scribes stimulants instantly, such as pure
whisky-all else is useless.
For years the standard, the reliable, the
one whisky which can be depended on has
been Duffy's Pure Malt. 1t has saved the
lives of thousands who were on the high
road to pneumonia in its worst form, and
it has both prevented and cured the worst
forms of pulmonary trouble. 1t stands un-
riyaled. Be sure and secure Duffy's, no
matter how much you may be urged to try
a cheaper one.

for which the people not only of this but
