Nothing
Tastes Good

And eating is simply perfume
done because it must be.
This is the common complaint OF
the dyspeptic.
If eating sparingly would cure
dyspepsia, few would suffer from
it long.
The only way to cure dyspepsia,
which is difficult digestion, is to
give vigor and tone to the stomach
and the whole digestive system.
Hoods Sarsaparlla cured the niece of
Frank Fay, 106 n. ST.. South Boston. Mass,
who writes that she had been great sufferer
from dyspepsia for six years; had been with.
ont appetite and had been troubled with sour
stomach and headache. She had tried many
other medicines In vain. Two bottles OF
Hoods Sarsa parila made her well.

Promises to cure and keeps the
promise. Don't wait till you are
worse, but buy a bottle today.

A BIG FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA.
In which twenty PersOns Lose Their
Lives.

Philadelphia, Oct. 27.-Nineteen per-
sons were killed and property valued at
$500, 600 destroyed as the result OF fire
which occurred in the business section OF
the city. The number of injured is not
known definitely, but fully score OF vic
tins were located at various hospitals. Po-
lice and firemen are tonight delving into
the ruins in search of bodies supposed to
be buried beneath the debris, as it is feared
that Others besides the known dead may
have lost their lives in the flames.
The buildings destroyed were the eight
story structure, 1919 and 1921 Market
street, occupied by Hunt, Wilkinson &
Co., upholsterers and furniture dealers,
and three story building occupied by
small merchantmen. The big furniture
building extended back a half block to
Commerce street, and was owned by
Henry Cleas. The list of known dead
follows:
Dorothy Kramer. Martha Baker, Mar
garet Hebden, Susan Gormley, Harry
House, II. A. Sparrow, Charles E. Spar
row, Fred Wilmington, Charles lands, one
unknown white woman, Walter Stearly,
j. E. Armstrong, Mrs. Martha Banks
(colored), Mrs Mary Mitchell (colored),
Margaret Grady, four unknown white
men.
Blaze in the Basement.
At 1920 o'clock this morning the blaze
broke from the building occupied by
Hunt, Wilkinson & Co. 1t Is said that an
o. he, in tho
basement was the cause, but this is de-
MED by Mr.. Wilkinson, who says there
never was sufficient quantity of either
explosive about the building to be re-
sponsible for todays disaster. Rumor has
it also that an elevator constructor at
work in the basement permitted the flame
of his lantern to communicate with some
of the gaseous liquids stored in the base
ment. and this was the cause of the con-
flagration.
LATER.
Philadelphia, Oct. 2s.-Another body
was recovered from the ruins of Hunt
Wilkinson & Co.'S building, which was
destroyed by fire, making the number OF
dead 20 The body recovered was so badly
chaTred as 10 De unrecOgnlZaDle.
1t will be some days before the number
of fatalities can be determined. Up to
this time the tiremen and police have the
names of Is people, including a number OF
women, who are unaccounted for. In or
der to correctly determine the number OF
missing, officials of the department o,
public safety began a systematic search
today of all the hospitals and homes Of
the employees Of the firm.
To facilitate the work of recovering and
Identifying the dead a meeting of the
firm and the employees was held this
morning. The members also met the fire
marshals and building inspectors to dis
cuss the cause of the fire.

SHOOK HANDS WITH THE KING

A Theatrical Manager, Who Was
Here Yesterday, Had That Honor.
Mr.. T. F. Dean, business manager of
"The Christian" Company, who was in
the city yesterday, enjoys the distinc-
ton of having shaken hands with the
Prince Of Wales, now King Edward
VII. of England
He was for years manager of the
Academy of Music in Baltimore, where
Sir Henry Irving played several en-
gagements. Mr.. Dean and the eminent
English actor became close friends.
Subsequently, when Mr.. Dean visited
London, he was shown some attentions
by Irving. He was a member of a
tally-ho party to the Ascot races, as a
guest of the English actor. While
there he was introduced to the Prince
Of Wales. Mr.. Dean says he extended
his hand, and it was in the air doing
nothing for some time. Just as he
was about to drop it, the Prince grasp
ed it and shook it heartily, at the
same time exchanging significant
smiles with Irving
When Irving and Mr. Dean were
alone, the former explained that it was
not customary for the Prince of Wales
to shake hands, etiquette merely de-
handing that the person introduced
bow to the Prince with his hands be-
hind him.

Nash Determined-An Offer From
the West-Governors on Record.
CINCINNATI, February 7.--In the
hearing on the application for an in
junction against the Jeffries-Ruhlin
prize fight February 18th, the defend
ants offered testimony to-day, and
will continue tomorrow. This means
two days to each side, arguments Sat
urday, and decision next week.
The plaintiffs rested without call
ing One-tenth Of their witnesses and
it is believed that the defendants will
do likewise. The latter had two
strong witnesses to-day in Hobart and
Dieterle. The large crowds have been
disappointed in not seeing either of the
contestants Jeffries was not called,
but Rubin has been subpoenaed
I'm the arguments there were sharp
illusions to Governor Nash in writ
ing to the Sheriff and prosecuting at
torney while it was being tried. The
principal issue is whether the event
OF February 10th is to be boxing con-
test or prize fight. u a permanent
injunction shall be granted against
the event as nuisance, the defend
ants announce that they would deny
the jurisdiction of the court.
Attorney General Sheets addressed
the court in defense of the action OF
Governor Nash, who he said was doing
what the governors of all other States
would do, except the governor of Ne
vada. While it was held in open cour.
that Governor Nash would use the
whole power of the State to prevent
Jeffries and Rubin from meeting
here February 10th, much time was
devoted to showing the high standing
of the Saengerfest Athletic Associa-
ton. The directors testified that, with
slight exceptions they found the SEN
timent OF Cincinnati almost unani-
NOUS in favor of the contest. The
court admitted as evidence the resolu-
ton adopted by German societies.

Events Yesterday in the Marshall
Comfy Town.

More Burglars.
Burglars were abroad in town on
Wednesday night and entered three
residences. Some one entered the res
idence of j. A. Ewing and ransacked
the rooms on the first floor but moth
ing was taken. The basement of J. G.
Bardall's residence on Fifth street was
entered and an unsuccessful attempt
made to reach the upper rooms. The
residence of Mr.. Lovall on Eastern
Fifth street was entered but nothing
was taken except a child's bank con-
taing a small amount of change. Since
these burglaries have occurred the peo-
pie are beginning to realize that two
policemen ar not enough to properly
patrol the town at night and there is
much talk Of increasing the force.
Yesterday a great many people could
Ibe seen putting few extra nails in
their windows and putting additional
bolts on the doors of their residences.

that the currents above the bridge are
