The heat was so intense and awful
that iremen at the nozzle could only
play on the flames for a couple of
minutes at time. Then they would
retire almost roasted, and others
would take their places. The steam
engines kept putting and blowing con-
stantly and the water supply of the

"All along G street the houses were
in great danger. The Baltimore en-
gines were worked for their protec-
ton. There was large stable on
that street which was in danger all
of the time, and, if it had caught fire,
that whole section of the city would
have been in danger. The Baltimore
boys protected that stable and adj
joining buildings, and kept them sat
urated with water. The flying Gin
ders fell on roofs which were wet
enough all the time to put them out.
The fire was finally stopped at the
corner of Seventh and G street,
checked, headed off and driven back.

Prompt Action Prevents Destruction

A train from Boston loaded with
passengers for Chicago and western
points had a hairraising experience
with a runaway freight and for a
few moments it was expected that
the entire train would be hurled into
eternity. A freight II ain of IS cars
had pulled out of the tunnel six miles
from Harpersville. n. Y, and started
down a heavy siX-mile grade when
the brakes failed to hold and the
train attained a fearful velocity.
The engineer stuck to his post, real
izing the danger to the passenger
train ahead. He blew the whistle con-
unuously, hoping to. give warning be-
rore it was too late. The passenger
was standing at the Harpersville de-
pot and, hearing the whistling. sur
missed the cause instantly. 1t pulled
out of the yard, but none too soon,

The trains raced to Nineveh, the

grade was struck, which Stacked the
runaway's speed. and it was brought
to a stop 60 feet from the last pas

MUsT sToP LIGHT WASTE.
Treasury Omcinls Send Out Notice ts
Employees I'm Public
Buildings.

It is proposed by the treasury Of
ficials to economic on the use of gas
and electricity in public buildings. 1t
has been discovered that great care
lessness exists all over the country
in this respect, and the circumstance
has led to this order from the secre-
tary of the treasury addressed to the
custodians of government buildings:
THE department desires to empha-
size the fact that in a number of
public buildings under its control
there is a considerable waste of gas
or electricity, or both, which by the
observance of a proper degree of
watchfulness on the part of the en-
ployes could be avoided. This applies
particularly to post office workrooms,
and in some instances to the base
ments of the buildings, where, owing
to a lack of interest or willful neg
lect, lights are permitted to burn
when there exists no necessity there
for.
"Oficials and employees should be
instructed to eXtinguish the light i'm
mediately upon the completion of
their work, or when there exists no
further necessity for its use, and the
names of any officials or employees
who, from. carelessness or indiffer-
ence, contribute to the wastage of gas
or electricity, should be reported to
this office, together with the branch
of the service with which they are
connected.
you will please give the matter
your personal attention. and from
time to time visit the various rooms
and corridors in the building, and also
request officials of the post Office de-
partment, where they occupy build
ings, to cooperate with you, in order
that the consumption of gas or cleo
tricity may be reduced to the actual
requirements Of the official business
of the government"

was a close call for the white house.
I'VE were in the federal government
fire department then. 1t is not gen
orally known that the city govern
ment and the federal government each
maintained a fire department during
and after the civil war. But when
Grant became president, and Sherman
commander of the army, there was a
great cry about retrenchment and re-
form. AS a result of this clamor
Gen. Sherman abolished the federal
government fire department, and we
all returned to duty in the city fire
department. There has been no fed

Owes His HeaIthtO Peruna.

Colonel T. p Moody, prominent Knight

lowing:
"FOr over twenty-five years 1

over ten years 1 suffered from
catarrh of the stomach terribly.
"I have taken all kinds of medi-
cines and have been treated by
all kinds of doctors, as thousands
of my acquaintance are aware
in different parts of the United
States, where have travelled, but
my relief was only temporary,
until a little over a year ago L

the present time i am better than

The soreness haSleft my StOm-
ach entirely and / am free from
indigestion and dyspepsia and
will say to all who are troubled
with catarrh or stomach trouble
of any kind, don't put it off and
suffer, but begin to take PeruDa
right away, and keep it up until
you are cured, as you surely will
be if you perSevere.
"My wife, as many in the southwest can
say, was troubled with bad cough and
bronchial trouble, and doctors all over
the country gave her up to die, as they could
do nothing more for her. She began taking
Peruna with the result that she is better now
than she has been in years, and her cough
has almost left her entirely. The soreness
has left her lungs and she is as well as she
ever was in her life, WITH thanks, as she says,
to Peruna. Yours very truly,

If one were to make list of the different

In this workaday world few women
are so placed that physical exertion
is not constantly demanded of them
in their daily life.
Mrs. Pinkham makes a special appeal

poor, Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass.
