Simla, the summer capital of the Indian

up in the foothills of the lIimalayas. A

held by the native hills people, an attrac-
tive item of which is 'bank of brides

young women who thus calmly announce
that they are candidates for hymeneal

sort of lovliness til t all agree upon is the
beauty of health. No matter what her
features, no sickly woman can be attrac-
tive Sallow skin, sunken checks, pirnply
face, hollow eyes, lifeless lips-these are
repel!ant. And they can nearly always
be traced to the one cause-woinanly
weakness or disease. Almost all the ills
of womankind are cured if you put the
feminine organism into healthy, vigorous
condition. All sickness of women seems
to involve these delicate organs and so no

best to look there for the real trouble.

the hotel was fully insured. MT. Gerry carried policies aggregating $595, 900 on the building, and had insurance for $120, GOO on the furnishings. In addition to this MT. Le- land had policies aggregating 00000 on his own furniture in the hotel. Most of the policies that covered the hotel were written with corporations that have had their main offices in other states than New York.
 No estimate can be made of the various metal and gems which have withstood the flames, and lie hidden In the wreckage of the hotel. One family lost jewelry valued at $2O0,O0o, and the total will run up some- where near million. How much has been picked up and carried away never be known, nor can all be recovered.
 Mrs. Nancy Kirk, who lost her life, and her daughter, Mrs. Mary Kirk Haskins, lost family jewels valued at more than $20O,0 There were scores of other families who lived In the hotel and who lost jewels worth thousands of dollars.

Will Be Held at JekyI Island
 This Week.
GATHERING THE CHIEFT FANS
ranged to Bring About More Peace fuI Relations Between Reed
 and the President.

Thomasville, Ga., March 1S.-Thomas- ville, for the first time since the presidents visit, was rife with political gossip today. Jekyl Island speculation ran riot, and the place was the scene of an important po- litical gathering. where the future course of the republican party could be gone over and settled far from the public and the press and shielded from intrusion by strict enforcement of the no trespassing regula- tions of the rich club which controls its destinies. The sudden appearance of Speaker Reed at Jekyl Island, the authori- tative announcement that President Mo Kinley, Vice President Hobart and Senator Hanna would make their trip there on Monday and the visit of Judge Day, form- erly secretary of state, to Thomasville, though absolutely mere coincdences, ac- cording to those of the gentlemen named who are here, revived at once recollections of the important part In national history born of Thomasville conferences four years ago. As to Speaker Reeds presence at Jekyl. both Senator Hanna and Vice Pres ident Hobart said they did not know the speaker was there until they saw the papers.
 The news. 1t was evident. was also sur prsing to others In the presidents party, who ordinarily would have heard it had there been any anticpatory comments about the house on the subject. As regards Judge Day, he is not going to Jekyl, and probably will be out of Thomasville on the way home by the time the president re- turns. There is, nevertheless, a possibility that the Jekyl Island trip, though not so intended perhaps by it's principals, may have an important political bearing. It may prove to be the reconciliation ground of President Mckinley and Speaker Reed. That their relations are strained. and de- velopment of party policy in legislation is hindered thereby. Is g matter of common report.

BOB INGERSOLL'S CRITICISM

Knoxville, Tenn, March 1S.-Colonel Will liam J. Bryan arrived here this morning at o'clock. He was met at the depot by several hundred democrats, who had as- sembled despite the heavy rain. The storm continued throughout the day and night. This morning at Il o'clock Colonel Bryan was joined by Governor Benton McMillin of Tennessee. The two held public reeep- ton in the woman's building. This after noon they were entertained at dinner by L. H. Spielman.
 Sixteen democrats and one republican assembled around the festal board Mr. Spielman and Colonel Bryan were boys to- gether in Salem, H., and later were friends in Chicago. Tonight Colonel Bryan deliv- cred his lecture on Pending Problems" in the large public hall of this city. He was heard by 1,5O0 people. After the lecture he was entertained at banquet as the guest of Knoxville democrats. He responded to a toast, ''The Democracy of Jefferson, Jackson and Bryan"
 This morning Colonel Bryan received a telegram from Cincinnati newspaper asking for an expression in reply to Bob Ingersoll's criticism that Bryan Is back number and has no political future.
 Colonel Bryan's telegraphic reply was that he did not regard Ingersoll as capa- ble authority to speak of his eligibility for the back number list nor upon his pros- poets for the future, as Colonel Ingersoll does not believe in @ future.
 Colonel Bryan will celebrate his 18th birthday here tomorrow as the guest of his cousin, Mrs. Easter, wife of Rev. Dr. Henry D. Easter. an Episcopal rector of this city.

STORM AT SELMA
Wind Played Peculiar Prank With a

Selma, March 1S-(Special.)-A wind storm which seemed of not unusual in- tensity passed over Selma tonight about 8 o'clock, but it played a most remarkable prank with the spire of the First Method ist church.
 The steeple, which Is about thirty-f1ve feet high and octagon in shape. was hurled from its base above the roof of the church and sent like stick of sky-rocket through the roof and about six feet into the floor above. the Sunday school room, leaving 1t standing at an angle of about 45 degrees

 Heavy rains all day have swelled the creeks and small rivers of Madison county to unusual proportions, and many bridges have been swept away. People in the low lands, in the southern part of the county, will lose much property.
 Water covered portions of several streets in Huntsville, and trains at the Southern railway depot ploughed through water fif- teen inches deep.

THE FIRE ENGINES STILL AT WORK
Through the Day Explosions of Gas Punctuated the Continual Pump ing of the Engines Millions
 in Jewels Were Lost.

New York, March 1S-Through the inces- sant rain today, their efforts hindered by a choking smoke that arose from the half quenched ruins, more than two hundred men from the building. police and fire de- partments sought, but with only half sats- factory results, for bodies of persons sup posed to have perished in yesterdays fire in the Windsor hotel. Most of the time the smoke was so dense that the workmen could scarcely see their hands before their faces, and the heat from the mass of debris glowing red in places, held the res- cuers almost beyond its limits, besides the remnants of the walls left standing were so shakey and threatening that it would have been dangerous to allow the men to work about the mass of riveted iron and brick. Efforts were concentrated today on clearing away the debris, for blasting and making the way safe for the men to dig in the ruins for the bodies.
 No Bodies Recovered
 No bodies were taken from the seething mass of ruins today. The latest estimate tonight is Is dead. 66 missing and 57 injur- ed. It is believed the men will be able to proceed with the gruesome search tomor- orw with more satisfactory results. Sev- eral fire engines have kept their stations all night long throwing heavy streams of water on to the ruins. Occasionally a mass of flame would struggle up from some un- noticed spot like a bubble and burst away as the streams were played on 1t. Through the day explosions of gas punctured the continual pumping of the engines. The scene of devastation in the immediate vi- cinity of tho fire can scarcely be imagined Broken and blackened windows, wrecked doors, smashed railings dirt and general debris surround almost every house. Count less thousands of spectators, pouring from every street and avenue and from every transit line that passed near the scene of the great holocaust and from the private carriages as well, packed the surrounding thoroughfares all day, pressing as close to the ruins as the restraining police lines would permit, straining their eyes in the hope of catching sight of some ghastly part of the spectacle. One hundred police men held back the crowd.
 All That Remains

disastrous cyclone passed through the upper part Of Cleburne county, ninety miles east of Birmingham, last night, ten lives being lost and several persons injured. Dwellings, barns, fences and everything in the track of the powerful Mud were razed to the ground as though me toys.
 The west-bound passenger train on the Southern railway came through the storm stricken region, and was delayed fifteen minutes by having to cut away fallen trees that were blown across the track.
 The dwelling house of Lewis Coffee tax assessor of Cleburne county, was picked up bodily and carried some distance before 1t was dashed to the ground mass of broken timbers and bleeding human bodies. Twelve people were living in the house at the time, and Coffee, together with nine members of his family, were killed.
 The path of the cyclone was between the towns of Hefiin and Edwardsville, and be- fore the wind had spent its fury an awful sight of devastation was left reminder of it's terrible force.
 He Was Tax Assessor
 Lewis Coffee the man killed, was tax as- sessor of the county, and had been for sev- eral years. He was one of the best-known and most popular men in the county.
 No damage was done at Heflin, but from the strong wind blowing there and the threatening signs 1t was thought that a cy- clone was passing through some part of the county, but none of the citizens who went on a tour of Investigation ever dream ed that the calamity was so great until the fearful sight met their eyes.
 There is no night operator at Edwards vile, and nothing could be heard from there last night.

  FOUR MEN ARE CERTAINTIES pr. Cunningham Endorsed = Attempt Made By Few to Put Out Oppo- sition Ticket at Pratt City
 But this Was Stopped.

The primary election for the selection of tional convention was held yesterday. It was an exciting race for many of the can- didates, and it cannot be said with absolute certainty just who has won until every box leading six candidates, arranged according to the number of votes each one received:
 FRANK S. WHITE, lawyer, Birming- ham.

 Captain White and MT Morrow ran away from the remainder of the ticket, and the accompanying vote shows that the former received over and the latter just about 5000 votes. MT. Tillman, the third candi- date, Is some six or seven hundred votes behind them. Captain Kolb follows close behind MT. Tillman Almost all day yes- terday 1t was conceded that these four can- didates were elected and the only question was which one would be at the head and how large their votes would be.
 Race for Fifth and Sixth
 The greatest interest centered on the men who were to get the fifth and sixth places in the delegation. There were four or five of them who were apparently running neck and neck for these two places, and at the time the polls closed at o'clock, 1t would have been the purest guess work to name the fifth and sixth men. As the returns began to come in interest became higher and higher. Hundreds of politicians crowded the Age e-Herald's offices last night. waiting with greatest interest for the news from each box to be posted. The suspense was something awful, and each of the can- didates hoping to come in fourth or fifth kept an accurate tally of the returns and did some lively figuring to see just how he was going ito pass" Not until nearly mid night, after the last bulletin was posted, did the crowd take reluctant departure.
 James Weatherly and c. P. Beddow were the seventh and eighth men, respect lively, in the race, according to last nights figures. It is possible that either one of them may be run up to fifth or sixth place when all of the country boxes are in. MT. Bradley and Mir Lowe, however, also claim that they have a large vote coming to them in the country, and that they will not suffer when the returns are all in

 As far as heard last night Dr. Cunning ham was endorsed by the county as a dele- gate at large.
 The attempt of a few to put out an oppo- sition ticket to Cunningham in Pratt City was unsuccessful. Finding that their eff forts were futile an amicable arrangement was made. Only one ticket was run, and pr. Cunningham was unanimously endorsed by the citizens of his old home. Nothing was heard of any opposition ticket to him n any heat
