Safe

The little child is safe from ordinary
dangers in the care of the faithful dog.
But neither the dogs fidelity, nor the
mothers love can guard child from
those invisible foes that lurk in air,
water and food-the germs of disease:
Children need to be specially watched
and cared for. When there is loss of
appetite, 1assitude and istlessness in a
child, an attempt should be made to re-
vive the appetite and rally the spirits. In
DR.. Picrce's Golden Medical Discovery
parents have found an invaluable medi-
cine for children. Its purely vegetable
character and absolute freedom from
alcohol and narcotics commend it to
every thoughtful person. It is pleasant
to the taste, unlike the foul oils and
their emulsions offered for cllildren's
use. "Golden Medical Discovery" makes
pure blood and sound flesh, and abso-
1utely eliminates from the system the
poisons which feed disease.

Our Endurance,

During life each member Of the
human body produces poison to itself.
When this poison accumulates faster
than 1t can be eliminated, which al
ways occurs unless the muscle has
an interval Of rest, then will come

sion for toxic infection.
If the muscle Is given an interval Of
rest, so that the cell can give off its
waste product to keep pace with the
new productions, the muscle will then
liberate energy for long time. This
latter condition is what we call en-
durance.
Like any other ponderous and in
tricate machine, the body requires
time to get in harmonious working
order The brain, nerves, heart and
skeletal muscles must be given some
warning Of the work they are expected
to perform. Ignorance Of this fact has
broken down many a young man who
aspired to honors on the cinder path.
The necessity Of getting all the parts
of the body slowly in working order IL
we'll understood by trainers and jockeys
on the race track, US is evinced by the
preliminary warming up" they give
their horses, although it is doubtful If
the trainers could give any physiologic
reason for their custom.-Popular

Mine Workers.
THE STRIKE STILL GROWS
President Mitchell Claiming
That Over 10000 Men
Are Now Idle.
Marching Has Now Begun in
Earnest in the Hazelton
District.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2O.-Al was
quiet in the entire coal field during the
day. Even the much advertised clash
in the Lykens region of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad district was sidetracked
through decision Of the strikers. New
ertheless there were fewer men at
work, President Mitchell claiming that
more than 1860 men are now idle.
Contradictory reports come from the
Schuylkill region, one to the effect that
the strikers at Morea, after being out
two days, had decided to return to
work being received with incredulity
at strike headquarters. The mine op.
orators, after generally maintaining a
silence for several days, are showing q
disposition to talk for publication, and
as result several statements from
their side are prin ted. All breathe the
same spirit-no recognition of the
United Mine Workers and a fight to a
finish with President Mitchell and his
followers.
Marching makes the timid men and
women in the Hazelton region nervous
because Of the terrible result Of that
sort cf campaigning in 1897 when tho
deputies shot down marchers, and
marching began in earnest there dur
ing the day. The marchers were peace
ful, however, and they succeeded in in
ducing several hundred men to quit
work, temporarily at least.

AN APPEAL FOR AID

PORTED BY MAYOR JONES'

Death List Estimated at From Five to
Eight Thousnnd-PropertyL LOSS Asgre-

Stated-Eyery House in the City DAM
nged and Thousands Entirely Destroyed.
AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 17.-Governor
Sayers has received the following of.
fetal report from Mayor Jones of Gal
weston as to conditions there:
CATER the fullest possible investiga-
ton here We feel justified in saying to
you, and through you to the American
people, that no such disaster has over
taken any community or section in the
history of our country. The loss Of life
is appalling and cannot ever be &C.
curately determined. It is estimated
at 5000 to 5000 people. There is not
home in Galveston that has not been
injured while thousands have been de-
stroyed. The property loss represents
accumulations of 60 years and more
millions than can be safely stated.
Under these conditions, with 10, 900 peo-
pie homeless and destitute, with the en-.
tire population under strain difficult
to realize, we appeal directly in the
hour of our great emergency to the
sympathy and aid of mankind"
The information reaching here from
an official source states that reports of
promiscuous shooting of vandals at
Galveston has been exaggerated.

WHAT ARE VOLCANOES?
They Are Not Burning Mountains as
We Understand That Term.

They Are Not Burning Mountains as
We Understnnd That Term.
"What are volcanoesW
Nine out Of every ten persons would
Immediately have an answer Of some
sort to the question above, for have
they not lively remembrance of hay
ing learned In their schoolbooks that
"a volcano is q burning mountain, from
the summit Of which are sent out smoke
and flames" This popular fancy has
been exploded by scientists, whose
work is to explode popular fancies.
In the first place, volcanoes are not
necessarily mountains. In reality they
are just the reverse-that is, holes in
the earth's crust. Out Of these are
thrown the materials which, accumu-
lating, form the heaps which we popu-
larly call mountains.
These are, then, the result and not
the cause Of the action. Neither are
they burning" as we understand the
term. There is no combustion, nor any
action we might reasonably call 'burn-
ing"
The action need not necessarily take
place at the summit, for cruptions are
just as frequent at the sides or even
at the base. The so called "smoke" is
nothing more or less than the clouds
Of condensing steam which are formed
on every OCCASION when an eruption oc-
ours.
Lastly, the "hames," so called, are
merely the reflection Of the mass of
molten rock and material inside the
crater on the clouds Of steam above,
thus appearing as Il glowing light. The
friction, too, set up by the motion of
the materials causes electricity, and
hence the lightning discharges which
add to the Illuminating effect.-Pear-

THE HEADLESs HORSEMAN.
An Incident That Happened In tho
nno.Pruasinu Nnr


FraacO-Prussinn War.
1t is peculiar circumstance that
hardened and trained troops will so
through long fight surrounded by all
the horrors that are inseparable from
war without nlnching and with the ut
most apparent callousncss, and the
same men will be struck terrified by
single trifling incident.
Every war Of any Importance, partic-
ularly wars between civilized nations,
Is prolific in incidents Of trivial charac-
ter in themselves, but so unusual and
unnatural that they appeal to the nat
ural instructive horror Of men more
suddenly and intensely than perhaps
the main terrors of days Of carnage
and surrounding scenes of suffering.
Such an incident is the one, for exam
pie, which occurred at the battle Of
Worth in the early days Of the Franco
Prussan war.
In the heat of the great battle a wing
Of the Prussian army was charged by
the regiments Of French cuirassers in
the hope Of turning the wing and facil-
itating the falling back Of the French
infantry. But the cuirassicrs were
driven back by the untlinching Prus-
slams. Again the cuirassicrs charged,
and again they were driven back by
the whitening fire Of shot and shell.
For a third time they came down
again, and as the enemy waited for
them to draw nearer n horrible, blood
freezing terror seized the Prussians,
and for moment 1t looked as if they
would turn and fly or be cut down
without defending themselves. But in
Il moment they had pulled themselves
together and beaten back for the third
and last time the gallant cuirassicrs.
The sight that terrified the Prussans
appears nothing very much IN black
and white. 1t was Il regiment Of cuiras:
siers led Mt a dashng rate toward them
by Il headless officer sitting upright In
his saddle and apparently encouraging
his men after having been decaptated
by n cannon ball.-Cincinnati Enquir-

REVISED LIST OF DEAD,


Houston Post Prints tho Names of Over
Four Thousand.
Houston, Tex, Sept. l8.-Tho latest
list of the dead in tho Galveston dis.
aster printed by The Post, revised to
date, shows the loss of 4,07S lives. The
paper says none of the persons whose
names are printed in the list have been
heard from and that great number of
names have Leen furnished by relatives
of those dead. It is estimated that
5000 people have left Galveston. Of
these about 5000 are now in Houston
being cared for. Others have gone to
the interior or to other states. The
new arrangements made at Galveston
enable people to get out without so
much red tape and they are taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity to do so.

Minister WI Comments on Germany's
Note to the Powers.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Minister WI
Ting Fang was greatly interested in
Germany's note to the powers asking
combined action in demand that those
responsible for the trouble in China be
punished as an indispensable prelimi-
nary to any peace negotiations. When
seen at the legation he had before him
a copy of the published text of the note.
81 can hardly believe that this step
has been taken" said he, land If it has,
it is so unfortunate in its influences upon
the general question that am greatly
in hopes that Germany will reconsider.
The condition imposed upon China
would be very hard. 1t would amount
to determining one of the subjects of
negotiations before negotiations had
been commenced. The Chinese ENJOYS
are invested with complete power to
make terms with the powers so that
when negotiations are opened this
question and all others will be proper
subjects for consideration and final set
tlement by those having complete au-
thority to deal with them. But to take
ono subject Up in advance, settle it and
m;ke its execution an indispensable
preliminary to negotiations is extremely
hard -

dale branch and the switching crew at
that point has been laid off. The Eric
