Escaped Being Buried Alive.

MIsHEwAKA, IND, July pa
singular case Of suspended animation
was recorded here to-day. At II
O'Clock yesterday morning a telegram
came from Harvey, ILL.,, announcing
the death Of Charles Vrooman, until a
short time ago a well known merchant
here. Blood poisoning due to burns
was the cause assigned. Local papers
published his obituary last evening.
Upon receipt Of the dispatch the
relatives FASTENED to the Illinois town
10 take charge Of the remains and ar.
rangements were progressing In this
city for the reception OF the corpse and
the burial, the supposed dead man
being a leading member Of local secret
societies.
About ! O'Clock last night however.
a second message came, declaring that
Nrooman had returned to life, the re-
markable transition taking place in
view Of relatives and the undertaken
who wac about to give the body final
attention. Vrooman appeared to be
dead for hours.

passing my attention has been fonsihIy
called 70 the fact that demand Cor
pension money is On the increase. II
has always been said there vas no
use for the the old soldier or the old
horse"
The pension records fOr the fiscal
year that ended With last month show
80 202 new claims allowed, only 80 be
low the number allowed in the fiscal
wear 1900 and asIs more than we're al
lowed In the fiscal year 1s9e.
Over twenty years ago Garfield de-
clared his belief that the pension list
had reached It's fullest point and that
ouF annual pension expenditures must
thereafteE steadily decline. We were
then Carrying leS than $4,000 names
On the list and paying cut less than
s40,0oo.000 a year To-day, with the
new ones added within the past year,
ever lyQ00oo names are ca the list
and our total pension disbursements
are about sls0. 100000 a year.
Remarkable in itself, and not readily
reooncilable with the common belief
that waE shorten the lives Of all who
participate In them, is the longevity
shown BY the veterans Of all our wars.
II was not until April 5, 1859, that the
last survivors o. the war OF the Revoln-
tion died, and four widows Of the men
who fought with Washington against
CORVALLIS are still on the pension list
One veteran and Lac widows OF
veterans Of the war Of 1872 are among
our pensioners; S352 veterans and
s,I5l veterans widows Of the war with
Mexico; e67,G5 veterans and 265l4
widows Of the civil war, while Of the
Spanish War 55s veterans and es7
veterans widows are already on the
rolls.
The disbursements for pensions dur
ing the forty fiscal years from 1861 to.
1901 inclusive aggregate in round
figures g, LOB O00, ZOO, and the Pension
Once records show the possibility that
in the year 3e widows OF civil war
veterans may bestill drawing pensions
and that in the year @s9, a century
and a half hence, widows Of the men
who stormed san Juan Hill with
Roosevelt are likely to be benefciaries
Of the nations bounty. 1t is quite GER
tain that wal shortens the lives Of its
surviving soldiers:
The thermometer here this morning
is "a, with a wind of the ocean that
gets close 10 you, but which is most
inyigorating.
Aftera all, there is no place like home,
and, as my vacation comes TO a close,
/ an glad to get back home, even If it
is hot Come to think Of it we want a
hot home. Who would live in a cold
What is home without heat.
Without joking we think Missouri has
broken the record for heat this year.
But the grand old State generally
beats the record when she starts in.

Hx-prisoner Returns From St. Helena
in Time to Claim His Promised
Bride, WIS Had Become Be-
trothed to Another.

PROvIDExcE, r. l., July 8-The
marriage Of Miss Viola Porter, Of this
clty, to Thomas d. Winsor, Of Rock
land, r l.. set for August p Is on.
On that day Miss Porter VIII become
the wife Of Frank Leontlne Hicks OF
Pittsburg, and Mr.. Wlnsor has eonsen-
ted to serve as best man.
Hicks 3 years ago was an ayowed as
plrant for Mis- Porter's band, but her
parents objected as he was thought to
have consumption. The father, how
ever, said that il Hicks could be cured
he would consent When the Boer
war broke out Mr.. Porter sent Hicks
word that II he would join the Boer
forces and serve to the end OF the war
be would permit the marriage.
III you can undergo the hardshipS
OF soldering out there you can stand
anything said he $40 nan with
consumption could range those kop-
jes."
Hicks started at once for South
Africa, and fought with honor and en-
thusiasm until. with General orOnje's
force, be was captured and sent TO st.
Helena. There he was lost track Of,
and was finally reported dead. Miss Por-
ter then became engaged toWins0r, but
at the last moment Mr.. Porter asked
for a pOstponement.
II gave that boy my solemn word,n
he said, 'sand Iwould like some posi-
tive proof Of his death before l give
Viola to another
Again the wedding was set this
time for August II. Last Thursday
evening Hicks arrived in Providence
and went at once to the Porter home.
He had just returned from st. Helena,
having been released by order Of Lord
Roberts at the request OF the cOmman-
dant, who had learned Hicks story.
There was a family council, and Win
Sor, cheated Of his bride, warmly
congratulated his rival and asked the
honor OF serving as best man-at the
wedding.

-FOUR YEARS MORE.
A New York Scientist Says the Heat
viii Increase in Fury.

The New York Journal prints an
article upon the hot weather by Gar
rett p. Seryiss, the scientific writer.
The article, dated at Ithac, n. Y,
says;
1.-THE burning heat now affecting
the whole OF the United States and
felt also on the other side Of the
Atlantic and generally throughout
the northern hemisphere is conyinc-
ing proof Of the fact that the earth is
a satellite Of a variable star. Only on
the assumption that the source OF
terrible heat is directly In the sun
and due 10 an extraordinary increase
In its effective radiation can the
widespread and long-continued nature
Of the present meteorological disaster
be satisfactorily explained.
"All astronomers know that the
sun Is blanketed with absorbing va
por, while its interior is much hot
ter than the glowing shell that we
see. strip of the yaporous blanket
entirely and the surface Of the earth
would probably burst into smoke and
fame in the instantaneous heat that
would be poured upon 1t.
Whenever, as occurs periodically,
though not always to the same ex-
tent, the solar vapors are thlnned,
the heat from within leaps out
through the weakened shell and
strikes the earth and the other nearby
planets as with a breath OF fire from
the suddenly opened door ola blazing
furnace.
That is what has happened this
Summer, and the immediate agency
that has flung open the furnace door
and set forth the destroying blast is
mysterious power whose visible mani
festatiOn is the presence Of black sun
spots. But 1t is a mistake 10 suppose
that the sun spots themselves exer-
else any direct influence upon the
weather, or that there must be spots
on the sun whenever there is extra
ordinary heat on earth.
"The spots are simply indicators OF
the SUMS condition, resembling in
that respect the eruptions on the face
Of a small pox patient. They tell the
story Of the suns internal conyul-
sions and indicate some OF the places
on its surface, where the pent-up
forces are bursting out.
"For the next four years these gi-
gantic outbursts win increase in fury,
and a corresponding series Of terres-
trial season marked by great excuses
OF temperature, sudden contrasts and
extraordinary cyclonic disturbances
will follow.a

porous one. Mr.. Shea occupies peculiar

ceive in him the well-dsciplined mentality
which makes the intelligent and forcefu]

the winds if he feels that his audience de-
mands it,

The Life Guards are two regiments of
cavalry forming part of British household
troops. They are gallant soldiers, and every
loyal British heart is proud of them. Not
only the Kings household, but yours, ours,
everybody's, should have it's life guards. The
need of them is especially great when the
greatest foes of life, diseases, find allies in
the very elements, as colds, influenza, ca
tarrh, the grip and pneumonia do in the
stormy month of March. The best way that
we know of to guard against these diseases
is to strengthen the system with Hoods
Sarsaparilla - the greatest of life guards. 1t
removes the conditions in which these dis
eases make their most successful attack gives
vigor and tone to all the vital organs and
the blood. Remember the weaker the system
the greater the exposure to disease Hoods
Sarsaparilla makes the system strong.
