schools has resigned.
Mr.. Hewitt goes back to Scranton
TO the duties which he relinouished
several months ago TO come to Car
bondale. He goes back. however to
enjoy an increased standing with his
former employees. the Scranton Axle
company. The Axle company offered
Inducements to Mr.. Hewitt which he
felt he could not pass by and SO it
came about that he resigned his place
here. a position in which. during the
brief engagement. he was appreciably
successful He made numerous friends
in carbondale which, by the wax. is
his former home. and these friendships
are sure to be lasting. The well wishes

A REMARKABLE RECORD.

AS chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Of Buffalo, N. Y,
DR.. R. V. Pierce has made most remarkable
record in the treatment and cure of diseases
peculiar to women. In something over thirty
years, assisted by his associate staff of physi-
clans, numbering nearly a score, he has treated
and cured more than half million women. Not
the least remarkable feature of these cures is the
fact that in the great majority Of the patients
lived at a distance and consulted DR.. Pierce by
letter, receiving his FREE advice and counsel on the
case by mail In exceptional cases, only, where
surgical aid was required has it been necessary to
come to the institute for treatment. Women will
be interested in these two examples of what be
done for their diseases by Dr. Pierce's medicines.

BERNHARDT AND THE SOFAS.
A WagOnIoad Was Brought for "Ca
miIIe1 but None Suited.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
when Bernhardt was here" said an
attache of the theater where the great
Sara played here, I'VE had an awful time
over the Camille sofa. You remember

Of her most effective posing on 1t Nine.
Rernhardt was determined 1t should be
just so. We had several brands of sofas
In stock, ranging from what they call
a rude pallet in melodrama to the gilded
sofa of modern society plays, but she re-
tected the whole outfit at a glance and
the prop man hustled out for a fresh
supply. He came back with a heaping
wagonload. | never saw so many different
kinds There were straight-backed sofas,
hump backed sofas, fat plush sofas, lean
wicker sofas, horesh9ir sofas, bow-legged
sofas, almost everything you could i'm
agine, but nothing suited the madame.
She passed them in review condemned
the lot and told the prop man in sign
talk to go and got some more How he
scared up another wagon-load 1 don't
know, but he did II somehow, and after
they were all turned down, too, we were
pretty nearly at our wits end when we
had an Inspiration. We sent for a friend,
an auctioneer, who has had long expert
ence in handling costly furniture from
private houses, and explained our dilem-
ma. Could he help us out? Sure! He knew
where to lay his hands on the exact sofa
Nine. Bernhard wanted.
1t was an heirloom, a wonderful sofa
de luxe, covered with cloth of gold and
cost $500 in Paris. He would borrow it.
In half an hour he arrived and it was
certainly a sumner. We carried it in,
satisfied we had hit the nail on the head
at last, and to our delight, the madame
proceeded to recline upon it. Then she
made some remark in French to her
dresser What does she say? asked the
prop. man. anxiously. She says it will
do to sit on while you go after more
replied the dresser. That settled it, We
didn't know where to go. The visible
supply of sofas was exhausted and we
told the madame as well as we could
that sire would have to give US time to
explore the curio shops and other odd
hooks and corners. She finally grasped
what we were driving at, shrugged her
shoulders ironically and went back to the
hotel. As she entered her apartments she
glanced around and saw very modest,
unpretentious sofa standing on one cor
ner. All. she said in French; the very
thing! Send it to the theaterp In five
minutes it was on the baggage elevator
and that was the sofa we used in the
play"

AN EASY WAY
To Keen well.

observe each day a few simple rules OF
health.
The all important thing is to keep the
stomach right and to do this IL is not
necessary 10 diet or to follow a set rule
or bin of fare. Such pampering simply
makes a capricious appetite and a feel
ing that certain favorite articles OF food
must be avoided
Prof. Wiechold gives pretty good advice
on this subject; he says: II am 6S years
old and have never had a serious Illness,
and at the same time my life has been
largely an indoor one. but l early dis

was to keep q healthy stomach, not by
eating bran crackers or dieting of any
sort; on the contrary 1 always eat what

tice to take one or two of Stuarts Dys-

The Deadly Chinese Stove.
Pekin Correspondence of the New Yor
Sun


Sun.
The Chinese stove that killed Col. Count
Yorck Won Wartenburg was a miserable
little affair such as all Chinese use to
heat their rooms if they are wealthy
enough to afford heat at all. These stoves
are made of fire clay. The body is pear
shaped, and is about a foot and a half
high. Top and bottom there are fiat
squares a foot across. At the bottom of
the pear-shaped body is a square hole for
draft. Above it is a small, round hole
through which the fire can be lighted.
In the top square there is a hole in the
center out of which in the ordinary stove
would rise a chimney, but these stoves
have no chimney. The fuel burned in
them is a mixture of clay and coal dust
The coal of Northern China is a very
hard anthracite and does not ignite easily
The Chinese pound it to dust and mix it
in about equal parts with clay. The whole
is wet down with water and then is made
into little balls about the size of English
walnuts. The coal in these balls takes
fire readily and it requires only a few
minutes to have good fire going But
there is no means of carrying off the gas
released by the coal in the process of
combustion, so it is the custom to start
the fire out of doors, letting the worst
of the gas escape out there Then the
the room which is to be heated. OF course,
all the gas in the coal has not been re-
leased, but sufficient of it to make the
fire less dangerous.
If you are in the room when the fire is
brought in you will not notice the odor
that is given Off But If you come into
room where one of these fires is burn
ing from the fresh outdoor air, the stencil
is very perceptible. If the stove has not
been permitted to burn in the open air
a sufficiently long time there remains
enough gas to make it a deadly contriv-
ance, as 1t turned out to be in the case
of Col. Count Won Yorck. The Count was
warned about the use of these stoves but
he laughed at the warnings. The Ger
mans say that he was warned against
sleeping with the stove in his room the
very night that he was asphyxiated.
Deaths from asphyxiation due to these
stoves are very common in China, partic-
ularIy at the beginning of the cold wealth
er, when fires are first used. The people
know this but do not seem to heed the
repeated warnings they receive in the
form of deaths among friends and neigh
bors. There have been narrow escapes
from asphyxiation among officers and men
of the allied forces now in China, who
did not understand the deadly character
of the Chinese stoves. The death of
Count Won Yorck has been a warning to
them. and the stoves are now generally
tabooed.

HOTEL MAY BE REBUILT.
Towers and Foundations Would Re-
duce Expense About 35 Per Cent.

Towers and Foundations Would Re-
duce Expense About 35 Per Cent.
Richmond, Va, March 30.--When the
Jefferson Hotel fire was finally extin-
guished this Afternoon the towers and the
northeast wall were standing, and these
and the heavy granite foundations, it is
estimated, will reduce the expense of re-
building about So per cent. The total in
surance is $3.50. 600. The total salvage in
furniture, pictures, ETC., cannot be esti-
mated at present.
The direct Representatives of Maj. Gin
ters estate are not here, and will not be
here until Monday. Nothing definite can
be decided about rebuilding until they ar
rive, but those acquainted with Mai.
Ginter's wishes, believe the hotel will be
rebuilt 1t seems now beyond question
that no one persisted in the building. con-
tinued rumors to the contrary notwith-
standing. No one is missing. Many
guests lost money. and jewelry. in addi-
tion to their clothing.
There are some highly colored reports
regarding escapes, but the only really
thrilling one was that of Firemen Frank
and Boswell, who slid sixty feet down a
line of hose.
The seriousness of the fire seems not
IN the beginning TO nave been appreciated.
The consensus of testimony is that as
rule the guests WERE all the circum-
stances considered. very calm Miss FL
len Glasgow lost the manuscript of a new
book, which was being copied by the ho-
sel stenographer. Some guests who were
the first to flee had valuables restored to
them by others. Sculptor Valentine said
this evening that his statue of Jefferson
could be restored.
The Hotel VIII BE Rebuilt.
The Richmond Chamber of Commerce

olution announcing that the Jefferson Ho.
