WARTS AND WEEDS.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WISHING AND WORKING.

1t is popularity believed that warts can
be wished away. But the farmer who
sat down and tried to clear his field by
wishing the weeds away would soon find
his crops gone. 1t takes working to get
rid of weeds, and the man with the hoe
must put in many long day before he
can take we'll earned rest.
1t is singular fact that great many
people treat certain forms of disease as
warts are said to be treated-by wishing.
This is especially so in the case Of

of cases cure has been effected by

JUMPED The TRACK
Street Car Wreck Causes Injury
to Large Number of
Passengers.

P%ittsburg, Feb. 15-Car Is on the
Hamilton division of the Consolidated
Traction company, jumped the track
tonight at the corne Of Fifth and
Hamilton and toppled over
against the curb, completely wrecking
the a and injuring 80 or more pas
sengers, four of them seriously.
The seriously injured are, Alice
Paul, scalp, face and back wounds; E.
L. Ludwig, leg fractured, hurt inter
nally; Robert E. Egan, scalp wound
and badly bruised; W. H. Seager,
motor man. crushed.
The car was coming down the Ham
ilton avenue grade. Just at the juno
tion of Fifth avenue it became unman-
ageable because of slippery rails and
literally skated down to the turn,
where it jumped the track and crashed
into the curb. 1t toppled over and was
crushed, throwing 80 or more passen-
gers into an indescribable heap of
screaming and grooming humanity.
The wonder is that many persons were
not killed outright.

BIG STRIKE PROBABLE
Pittsburg Building Trades Unions
Make Demand for In
creased Wages.

Pittsburg, Feb. 16-Unless the
master builders of this city comply
with the demands of the building
trades council a general strike will be
declared which will involve at least
$50, 900 workmen. Nearly every me-
chanic in the city is expecting an adj
vance of from five to ~ per cent.
The carpenters and j%oiners have al
ready asked for all advance and the
brick layers, Brotherhood of painters
and decorators, paperhangers, plas-
%terers, structural iron workers, Inter
national Association of machinists and
stone masons are preparing their
scales and in every case it is proposed
to make demands for higher wages.
The window glass workers, it is said,
will also ask for an increase of 20 per
cent when tho next scale committee
meets. The date on which many OF
the scales expire is April 1, and unless
the master builders grant an advance
the indications are that there will be a
general suspension in the building
trades and work on the big structures
| will have to be suspended.

A FRu|7LEss EFFORT
Conferees on War Revenue Re.
duction Bill Unable
to Agree.

Washington, Feb. 16-The conferees
on the war. revenue reduction bill held
a conference today which lasted for an
hour and a half. Nothing was &C
complished. No vote was taken.
1t is understood the conferees on
the part of each house attempted to
convince the others that they must
yield. The house conferees insisted
that they could not accept the senate
substitute and the senate conferees
insisted that it any measure was to be
made a law the house must agree to
the senate bill.
There seems to be practically a
deadlock. 1t seems the republicans
on the conference committee from
each house will have to get together
to see it an agreement cannot be
reached.

AN EXTRA SESSION WILL BE
CALLED.
ANNOUNCED BY PRESIDENT
Executive Desires That Congress
Share Responsibility in Deal
ing with Cuba.

Washington, Feb. 10th president
told senator's calling upon him today
that congress would be called in extra
session as soon as the Cuban constitu-
tion is received.
Those who talked with the presi-
dent say that he announced definitely
today his determination to ask con-
gress to come together as soon after
the completion of the Cuban constitu-
ton as might seem expedient. The
only apparent object of the president
is to have the Cuban question con-
sidered and it is his desire to have
congress share the responsibility Of de-
Gliding what steps shall be taken with
reference to Cuba, regardless Of the
details Of the constitution.
He has not as yet indicated a time
when he should expect congress to
meet, and this he is not expected to
do until the Cuban constitutional con-
vention shall complete it's work.
The prediction is general in case an
extra session is called that it will ex-
tend we'll into the summer. 1t is not
believed that it's deliberations could be
confined to Cuba, but that the Philip
pine question, the antitrust bill,
and the subsidy bill would all come in
for a share of attention.
Many Of the leading republican sem
ators are using their utmost e%ndeavors
to avert q call.
