Naturo he Embalmer In ralklands.


 A curious circumstance concerning ahe body of Admiral Spotts has been reported from the Falkland Islands, where he died seventeen years ago. Ire Falkland physician who attended him during his fatal illness was pres ent at the exhumanation of the body when the cruiser Badger was sent for it this year. The coffin had disap- peared, but the corpse was absolutely unchanged, even the features having retained the exact appearance that they presented on the day of death. This wonderful preservation was due to the action of the peat water which saturates the islands. It had em- balmed the body completely.

that completed yesterday, when all the
holdings of the Pennsylvania Coal Com
pany passed into the hands of syndi-
cate headed by j. Pierpont Morgan, the
amount involved being IS, 100000
BY its items the coal roads are to ac-
qure the Pennsylvania Company's
twenty-five colieries and property at
$500 share, and there is to be a quick
assets amounting to about $4,000, 900,
which will make the value of the Penn
sylvania Coal Company's stock $76O a
share.
The sale of this stock carries with it
the franchises, rights of way and other
property of the proposed independent
coal road to tidewat,r, which has been
a threatening menace to the future of
the anthracite coal interests, and also
the Erie & Wyoming Valley Railroad.
The proposed independent coal road is
now practically throttled by syndicate
headed by j. p. Morgan & Co., and rep

Nothing In years has 80 stirred up the
medical fraternity and the people a. the
astounding cures made every day by the
far famed Damon System Of Treatment.
Scores Of men and women who have
been given up by their physicians as be-
yond the pale OF hope have been restored
to vigor and health, and In short order,
too. by the mighty power to this marvel
Gus system.
Physicians, when appealed to, admit
how powerlsss they were to furnish relief
to explain the Damon treatment, are
forced 10 admit that. while 1t Is beyond
their power to describe, it 10 none the
less the most remarkable system Of
treatment that has ever, In the history OF
the curing of disease, been brought to
their attention.
No cste seems too hopeless to find re-
lief and cure, and 1t 10 In NO sense one
disease treatment.
Many of tire socalied treatments. or sys
tens, before the public today are for one
or two specific diseases but the Damon
system OF Treatment IL for all diseases.
1t em braces every human ailment In the
seat OF disease, and cures tho mnlady ~

Tie Damon System of Treatment Is
really the transferenoe OF the powerful
human electricity, or Vital magnetisIu,
OF the specialist into the body OF the
sufferer. This magnetism Is sent along
the lines OF the nerves to the exact spot
when the diseases may be located, and so
powerful is the magnetism that 1t carries
every thing before It, and the DISEASE 10
driven out Of the system. No medioine
on earth could accomplish such result,
yet the Damon Treatment frequently
cures q dieeass of long standing In a
single treatment. Don't hesitate, no

Says The City Has Too Many Men
Under Pay.
Gives His Reason for
Need of Change.
Chief Engineer Eldredge Views
Scheme as Step Backward.

Cunside cradle interest has been aroused
during the last few days by the report
that at the mesting Of the city govern
msnt next Monday night Alderman
Thomas would Introduce bill that the
numser Ct call men In the fire depart
ment should be reduced.
Alderman Thomas has spent long
time In considering this question aud
yesterday afternoon he explained In de-
tail the scope Of his proposed bill. He
a. id that at present there are 2OS men In
the fire department, and according to the
population Of the city the cost OF paying
the salaries Of these men would he "
each for every man, woman and child
In the city of a voter So each, whila to the
taxpayer it means quite an item. There
ara I64 call men, and Alderman Thomas
tays the bill aims to only effect this
class. This number includes the four
assistant engineers and Is exclusive OF
the Peaks Island company, which has
large force.
Alderman Thomas says that the Iec-
ords Of the department show that large
n umLer OF these &C II men attend the fires
lest often enough to keep within the Hni-
1t 60 as not to be thrown out. The rule
is that the call men shall not he absent
from over one-third OF the number OF
frss during period of six months. He
says that in one company alone last year
for a period OF but three months ten out
Of the company Of fourteen f1remen were
fined either for failure to attend fires or
to attend the monthly meetings Call
men cannot lie removed except for cause
and can serve until they arc 60 years Of
age. They are paid SEQ year.
Alderman Thomas in explaining his
ill said that the present time is unliks
tina. of years ago in the matter OF light
ing tires In this city. Yesrs ago the
msans used were reservoirs and 1t was
often found necessary to string line oil
hose q mile long from reservoir. Now
reservoirs are not used and nydrants ars
so near together that the lines Of hose
ara always abort. The salaries OF the call
men years ago we're less than ons-hali
of what they are at the present time.
while the number OF these msn has, at
least, not decreased.
The bill proposes that the number OF
men shall be reduced by four In each
company. There are IA companies, An
engine company hiss IA men, including
a captain and lieutenant and three per-
mAnent men, while a hose and hook and
ladder company has 10 men and one per-
manent man.
In case big oonflagration should take
place, Alderman Thomas says that this
decrease in the number OF men would
not be felt as there are always two or
three substitute men around the COM
peniss'who could be brought into service.
Chief Engineer Eldridge is much OPP
posed to this reduction in the lighting
force OF the fire department. he says
that be regards the measure OF Alderman
Tcomas as = step backward. There was
q time when the fighting force could be
Increased quickly in emergency. when
brute strength was nll that was required.
Now discipline and knowledge Of fire
lighting IL req uislte.
