Made of Deer Skins and Is Both Light
and Warm.


The sleeping bag is made Of the
winter skins of the deer sewed to-
gether with the hair turned in, long
enough for man to lie at full length
inside, and fitted with a flap to haul
over the head after getting in. The
boots are made of the skin of the legs
of the deer, the hair outside, while
the soles are the hide of the oogrook,
or large hair-seal. Inside the boots
are worn deer-skin socks, with the
hair next the feet, and inside these
again are worn one and sometimes
two pairs Of heavy wooden socks. The
shirt, or parkie, is made of the summer
skins of the deer, these being lighter,
and is double--that is, it is really
two parkies in one, so that there ia
hair next the body, and outside as
well. 1t is fitted with hood, which
is trimmed around the face with wolf
skin, for the hair of that animal be-
ing long and coarse, it affords ex-
cellont protection from the cold and
biting winds. The trousers are gen.
orally single, and made of the thick
winter skins, with the hair turned
out. Deer skin combines two very
essential properties-it is very warm
and very light; in fact, the double
parkie does not weigh any more than
the average double-breasted sack
coat Of civilization, and our sleeping
bags weighed only IL pounds. Our
hand covering consisted of deer-skin
mittens, with wooden gloves inside, SO
that when it became necessary to work
around the sled or adjust the dog
harness, the clumsy deer NIT could be
slipped off, and the hands still pro-
tected by the wooden gloves, Harp

Deafness Cannot lie Cured

by local applications as the9 cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, aud that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
iufamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tubes. When
this tube is infamed you have a rum.
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in.
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur.
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

He went upstairs to his room, where

JOS. HAWORTH, THE ACTOR.
1t Was Feared That He Peris he'd in the
Windsor Hotel-He is in Philadel-
phia Safe and Sound.

CLEVELAND, O., March 2O-The rela-
tions in this city of Joseph Haworth,
the actor, are fearful that he perished
in the Windsor hotel fire. They have
heard nothing from him since the
burning of the hotel. His sister,
Mrs. ]. E. O'Connor, received on
Thursday letter that was mail
ed at Atlantic City on Wednes-
day. In the letter Mr.. Haworth
said he would start that day for
New York and would stay at
the Windsor hotel. He said he was
going in company with Rev. F. P.
Moore, of No. SO Fulton street, Wake
field, N. Y. A telegram has been sent
to Mr.. Moore, but no reply has been
received. Mr.. Haworth's relatives have
not given up hope, but they can not
understand why no news of his where
abouts has been received if he is still
alive.
Later-A s:,ecial from Philadelphia
says: !,seph Haworth arrived here
"n-Aay night and registered at the
Hotel Lafayette. He came direct from
Atlantic City.

AN IMMENSE LABOR.
Prepar ations for the Taking of the
Census of United States.
An Army of Over 45,OOO Men Will Ne
Employed and 6OO.OOO Blank
Forms and 1OO,OOO,OOO
Cards Used.

The policy that will govern the task
Of taking the census of 1900 was out
lined in an official statement made by
Director Merriam and Assistant Di-
rector Wines. Prof. Henry Gannett,
the well-known geographer Of the geo
logical survey who was the political and
statistical geographer of the last CEN
sus, has been asked to take charge OF
the same work for the coming census.
First of all, after the general admin
istrative officersare selected, there must
be 300 supervisors appointed, and in
their selection consultation will be had
with senators and representatives in
the respective states. The supervisors
in turn will appoint 10000 enumerators
to do the actual work throughout the
country, but the list of appointments
of enumerators first must have the ap-
proval of the director of the census.
After approval they will be immediate
ly furnished the necessary blanks and
instructions. This will be no small
task. Assuming the, population of the
United States at this time to be, in
round numbers, 60 100000 people, there
must be 100000 sheets issued for the
population schedules alone. Adding to
these the other schedules, there will
have to be in the aggregate not less than
a half million such sheets in printed
form issued. All this mass of paper
will have to be manufactured and print
ed without delay. In counting the pop
ulation every individual will be repre-
sented by separate card. and there will
have to be manufactured and printed
not less than 100, 100000 of these cards.
The probability is that system Of mo-
chine calculating which admits OF
| counting facts in combination and
which worked so well in the last CEN
sus will be adopted for that of 1900.
The Office will have to select from the
various devices the one most satisfac-
tory and sufficient number to do the
work must then be,man nufactured. The
work will be pushed with all possible
| speed consistent with accuracy and
every effort made to avoid dragging the
work along unnecessarily. Taken. all
| in all, the complete number Of appoint
ments that will be made in the course
Of the census will be over $4,000. These
include 1s or 20 staff officers, 300 super
visors, 10000 enumerators and about
5000 clerks and other employees at
Warrington.

A VALUABLE INVENTION.
Movable Locomotive Headlight That
VIII Throw Its Rays Around
q Curve.

When train is rounding a curve the
ordinary locomotive headlight points
off into the surrounding country, and
is useless. A mechanical engineer of
western railway devised an attachment
by means of. which the light is main
tained in line with the track. The
light is mounted on turntable which
is rotated through the proper angle by
a cable passing around pulleys and
leading to the two piston rods of
small double-acting air cylinder. The
motion of the piston is regulated by a
valve in the cab, the air pressure be-
ing taken from the air system. The
headlight turns on inclines so arranged
that when the headlight travels up the
incline it will have bearings on the
two quarters on which it travels. The
object of this is to return the headlight
to its normal position automatically
when the air is released. The device
has been practically tested.

debris of the Windsor hotel fire in the
stforS to discover the bodies that are
supposed to lie buried there. All day
long 200 men labored as much as the
misty, muddy. steaming mass Of broken
stones, twisted iron and crush
ed brick would admit. A heavy,
sitting vapor arose continually
retarding progress of the workers and
keeping them for he most part away
from the center of the ruins. From
Fifth avenue much of the debris that
had fallen into the street had
been cleared away and the
men were able to reach portion
Of the first floor. What small portions
Of wall could be blasted down were
leveled, but the great pillar of brick at
the 47th street end still stood. 1t was
in such a threatening condition that
the police notified the residents of the
houses across the street to remain in
the rear of their dwellings to prevent
any fatalities when the crash came.
Up to midnight no bodies had been
injuries received at the fire were re-
ported from the hospitals, but a num-
| ber of the injured were still in seri-
GUS condition. The death list remains
the same as Saturday-sixteen--a
the list of missing has been reduced to
"A. as a number Of those previously un-
accounted for reported in person or
had been located by friends.
| Just before midnight two sections of
the rear or eastern wall of the hotel
fell in with mighty crash. For
tunately no one was near and the col
lapse was more beneficial than other
wise.
Two engines were still on the ground
at late hour throwing streams ON the
wreck.
The only things found during the
early part of the night were set of
artificial teeth on gold plate and some
articles of clothing.
Sunday night the persons living in
the three houses nearest to the wall on
47th street were ordered out by the po-
lice because of the danger of its being
blown down by the high wind.
The ruins still shoulder and the
smoke and gases blowing in the faces
Of the workers made their task one of
great toll and hardship. From time to
time men were compelled to desist
for few minutes. BY midnight
the laborers had excavated back
from the front building line and to
the sub-basement for distance
Of fifteen feet. The great value Of
jewels and jewelry in the wreck made
the men work carefully. Each shovel
full Of the refuse was carefully exam
ined before being placed in the carts.
Policemen both in uniform and in the
guise of foremen mingled with the
workingmen and carefully watched
J their every movement. More
than that the men were
searched at the end Of their shifts.
Many of the men resented this, saying
J that it was unnecessary and protest
ing that no man would think of taking
such property, and especially under the
J circumstances The contractors ant
the officials of the building depart
ment were obdurate, however, and sale
, they would take no chances and tha
every one must be searched.
