are In reality war of emotions re-

No. % Avon street. was terribly burned
about the back and head by an explo-
sion OF gas about 1880 o'clock this
morning.
The house in question is new one,
and from the appearances inside 1t
would seem that the inmates recently
moved In. The cause of the explosion,
as told by Officer Luck, who extin-
guished the flames, was as follows:
The women were all in the parlor, and
Carrie, who was burned, smelled the
door of escaping gas and went into the
hall TO ascertain the cause OF the leak
The gas was burning. Reaching the
door of the room In the rear OF the par
lor she opened 1t. In this room there are
no gas fixtures. only the end of q pipe,
In which there was no plug, and 1t was
from this that the gas was escaping.
AS soon as the door leading to the hall
was opened the escaping gas became
ignited from the light in the hall. and
the unfortunate woman, for Il time was
wrapped in flames
The nerve displayed by the girl was
truly remarkable under the circum>
stances. With the skin peeled from her
back, her hair badly singed and other
wise suffering, she uttered not Il moan.
DR.. Speight was called and did all he
could to relieve the sufferngs of the
unfortunate girl.
A lot of household goods in the room
were badly scorched. officer Luck ex-
hibited remarkable courage in extin-
gushing the flames, which, for a time.
threatened the destruction Of The build

WOMEN IN TROUBLE.
The Approach Of Motherhood is the
Occasion Of Much Anxiety to All.

Every woman breads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom-
ing mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is source Of
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing OF the danger which the
coming incident entails. The joyous
anticipa tions with which she looks for
ward to baby's coming gives way to an
indescribable dread of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight q
remedy which insures to them inn
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental to collaborating.
Such remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour OF

the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures

What woman is not interested in

main there until the United States SUI

martial.

accurately in this respect we yesterday
telegraphed n very large number Of peo-
pie at the South. requesting them to give
a quotation in their market for mid
ding and good middling cotton, and
state whether there is still much cotton
held back. Snch replies as we have in
dicate that the quantity held back is
now probably the smallest on record.
ana should the present advance in the
market continue, as there seems every
prospect of its doing. we believe that
by the end of February the South will
find itself completely out. and tho only
problem then left to be determined in
connection with this years crop is how
high the price will have TO go in order
to exc out the very small supply remain
ing for consumption.
