SHINGLES TOOK FIRE.
Mrs. John w. smith Severely Burned
as a Result.

Thers came very near bsing another
fatal burning accident at 81 Lafayette
street yesterday morning, but fortunately
the victim this time was mora fortunate
than was the casa in the tsrrlhie anair IN
Dssring m SataIday. AS result OF the
blaze, however. Mrs. John W. Smith was
badly burned about the arm and bead
and was fortunate In escaping 81 easily.
Mr.. Smith has bean having some re-
pairs MAGE en- his houss and has had
some shingling done. Yesterday morn
ing he carried into the house one or two
armsfuI OF the old shingles and piled
them up behind the range in the kitchen.
About eight clock MIS- Smith after
kindling fra in the stove went out of
the room for a short time and spark
from the fire must have set fire to the
shingles in some way for when she re-
turned to the kitchen the room was hlled
with smoke and lively blaze was started
In one end of the room. Mrs. Smith had
filled some lamps only short time be
fore this and placed them on the mantle
piece above the fire. The flames were
now lsaping up sni around these lamps
and the first thought Of the woman was
to get the lamps out of the reach of the
flames before they exploded and sst the
house on hre. She reached over the stove
and took lamp in each hand aud was
enveloped in flames about the upper part
of her body in the twinklirg of an eye.
just at this moment Edward Wallace,
who was at work on the house, and who
is q fireman, rushed into the room, and
grasping an old coat wrapped 1t about
Mrs Smith in time to exti"guish the
flames Afterwards Wallace put out the
fire by some rapid work. Mrs. Smith
had been burned about the head and arm
but her burns are not at all dangerous.
The damage done by the fire Will amount
to $50 or more.

relieved
"You see as soon as the strike In tne
anthracite coal region was settled the
coal companies realized that the western
trade must be supplied at once before
the great lakes freeze over or those
points would undergo a terrible famine
rhe lake ports are all supplied while nav
igation Is open and every energy has
been devoted toward filling the western
demaud. Practically the entire output OF
the anthracite regions Is going Via the
great lakes and as long as this mid
weather continues L do not seq tina
there will be any change in the situation.
We have man in New York and one In
Philadelphia today and he is doing his
utmost to secure some anthracite cool
for us but up to the present time has not
been successful.
"Nearly 5000. 900 tons Of hard coal have
been mined since the settlement OF the
strike but doubt II more than $4,000
tons have come to tidewatsr. As soon
as the lakes freeze why OF course we will
be able to get all we want but with the
present warm weather it Is difficult to
prophesy when our turn VIII come"

Deafness Cennot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reached the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and tLat is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness Is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inf1amed you have a
rumbliug sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

but the influence that has been
brought to bear by a strong corpora
