FOokand MANY Badly Injured

Louisville, KY, Oct. Hundreds OF
people attempted to rush out Of the
Temple Theatre this afternoon because
the cry of fire was raised, when a little
flame was seen about the polyscope
machine. In the scramble scores OF
people were knocked down and IS in
jured, three seriously. OF the latter
one may die. A number of other per-
sons were bruised or cut but their in
juries were slight" The injured:
Frank Mcdonald, head injured, may
die.

1t was just after the first act of
'Tennessee's Pardner," and while the
polyscope was being prepared for it's
Exhibition that the little blaze occurred
which caused the panic. Many women
and children made a rush for the door
and the occupants of the gallery
plunged down the stairway or climbed
into the auditorium proper. In their
haste many fell, landing on those be-
meath. Several were badly hurt in this
way.
Those who had retained their pres
ence of mind endeavored to stop the
rush. The ushers and theatre attaches
acted with great GOODNESS. The orches-
ira played and Charles T. Bates,
member of the stock company, danced.
This was effective in quieting those
nearest the stage.
The greatest crush occurred where
the stairs come down from the gallery.
Here the struggling crowds met
AS soon as the rush was over a big
room was converted into a temporary
hospital. In order to prevent a panic,
when the audience was dismissed, ev-
cry patrol wagon and ambulance in
llle CITY was tuSdStu III conveying INC
more seriously injured to the hospitals,
or their homes. The play was finished
without hitch.
Clarence Meffert, an attache of the
theatre, closed the wide exit doors as
the rush began. He and a number of
men, by main force, held the crowd
back But for this hundreds might
have been injured.
Just as the doors were closed Mrs.
o. w. Blunt pitched her ne-year-old
child through the exit to a policeman.
He caught it in his arms, but it slipped
to the floor, sustaining, however, only
slight bruises.
There was no damage from the fire.
1t is said the cause of the flame was
the blowing out of a fuse. on the poly
scope.

If ever a person needs to exercise the
God-given quality of common sense, 1t
is when he begins to be sick.
One can afford to be stupid or freakish,
or careless and frivolous when well; 1here
is no man so poor, If he ihas his health,
and his nerves are in good order, his mus
cles sound, and his stomach normal, who
cannot correct his mistakes.
But the moment one falls sick-when
as sure as fate, disease with it's mild be-
ginnings, if not promptly checked is
bound to develop into serious illness
there is no longer time to experiment or
blunder
The experience of the world has shown
that in every case of sickness resulting
from impaired nerves and impure blood,
Paine's celery compound does immediate
and effective good! For the last ten years
the thousands of authentic reports of
individual cases have multiplied, until 1t
can be absolutely said that in no one
case does this great remedy ever fail to
benefit, and If taken promptly, to cure!
And yet during that time a hundred
worthless nostrums under patented catchy
names have been foisted upon the public,
and some of them for brief period have
had large sales. But every one of them
having been tried has been found sadly
wanting, and after their INSCRIPTIONS
proprietors have made all the money they
could in defrauding the well and seriously
harming the sick these quack medicines
peared from view. There is a connection
being sold in this state today, where its
speculative advertising was begun a year
later than in other states, a year or two
ago, which has gone the way of its pre-
decessors so rapidly that in every section
of the country where 1t was first exploited
the sales have dropped off as rapidly as
they begun, and the obscure company be-
hind it finds it no longer possible, even
by the most sensational methods, to ere
ate any demand whatever for it.
Unlike all these and other such prepare
lions, Paine's celery compound has stood
The test of time and experience. 1t is not
patent medicine it is the discovery of
one of the greatest physicians the world
has had, probably the most successful
practitioner in this country, whose repu-
tation was already established as spec
alist in nervous diseases and who was
and is the foremost authority in the world
on the diseases of the blood and nerves,

distinguished in his way as his kinsman,
that other great Vermonter of the family
of Phelps who as our recent minister to
the Court of St. James so ably earned
the title of diplomat and statesman.
In these last ten years, the proprietors
of Paine's celery compound have been
sending this greatest of all prepared rem

new and handsome edifice dedicated
some time about New Years. HoWev-

The new church, when finished, will
cost about 100000. For the past %
years the present edifice, now in process
of construction, has been the dream OF
every French-speaking citizen OF Spen-
Ger. The French people realize that the
new church will cost an immense sum
of money, but they will bear the eX-
pense cheerfully, and their sole object
will be to pay off the debt they have
contracted in building the church At
present they have not half enough
money to pay for the church, but they
will conduct numerous entertainments
which will add greatly in raising this
immense sum of money.

NEW YORK PAPERS.
Estimated Circulation of the New York
YelioWs,

With the law in force making it Il
penal ottcnse to lie about circulation,
one can now get the correct lists of the
various papers. Curiously enough, this
law was brought TO pass by the World,
which the sun had been ridiculing for
its prctonScS in circulation. The World
had tn" bill passed for the benefit of
advertisers who. prcvioas to that, had
no means of approaching the circula
ton of the papers they patronized, and
We're constantly being deceived The
papers of Greater New York circulate
every morning 1.0uO.OOO. copies. of
which the World and Journal each sup
plies :;oO.OOo. and the Herald 100000.
Tie combined circulation of the other
papers may lie computed from that.
The circulation of the evening papers
is about the same in toto, but huctu-
nteS lih" II thermometer. A famous
tragedy or trial will make Il change of
100000. The Spanish war was the
greatest era for the evening paper.
Just previous to its beginning, Mr..

year and Il percentage on the basis OF

month of the war amounted to $4,000.

POSTAGE Facts About
= W. 1A\>0 Their Manufac-
~ Il <AA~xx ~ Distribution.


Millions upon millions of new, crisp
currency bills are being turned out by
the bureau of engraving and printing
to replace the defaced and worn-out
greenbacks which are constantly COM
ing back into the treasury. to be
eventually ground and smashed up
into pulp Huge printing presses are
constantly at work in the steel-protect-
ed rooms of the treasury department.
1t Is, in fact, safely estimated that by
the close of the present year these
presses will have turned out enough
greenbacks to furnish each of the 76,-
100000 inhabitants Of this land with
about $40 each. This means that 1O7,-
50O.OOO of crisp, new bills of various
denominations will be used. In the
matter of postage stamps the figures
are even more enormous, says the
washington Times. 1t is estimated
that on an average every man, woman
and child in the United States will use
n1ty-three postage stamps during the
year 1901. forty of them being of the
popular 2-cent denomination. The
total number consumed will be over
100000 and nearly 100000, 900 Of
these will be of the 1-cent variety.
One person out of every ten will send a
special-delivery letter in the course OF
the present year. Cuba, in 1901, will
require about 100000 ordinary
stamps, with 100000 special deliver
ies," all Of which will be turned out at
Uncle Sans money mill in Washing
ton. The Philippines will use up S.
oOo,OOO stamps, Porto Rico 1GOO 900
and Guam 10000. OF course, Guam,
Porto Rico and the Philippines have no
stamps of their own, properly speak
ing, but are supplied with the ordinary
United States postage stamps, altered
simply by the addition of word print
ed across the face of each one in un-
ornamented black letters. Thus all
Guam stamps have the word Guam"
marked on them, as if it were for CON
collation., and the word philippines"

These are queer times. The farmer
will have to start a cannon brigade
if he wants to be up to date in the
peaceful pursuits of agriculture. The
fashion comes from France, where
they have rapid-iiring, breech load
ing, agricultural cannon, which is
wonder.
In France, where so much of the
wealth of the whole country depends
on the vineyards, there is one enemy
which has hitherto been 3nconquer-
able. That is the hail. In half an
hour a severe hailstorm could pulver-
ize prospective fortune. In Italy,
also, the hail is a menace to the VINE
yards and the vine growers OF the two
countries have been making some eX-
ceedingly interesting experiments in
fighting these storms. Fighting is a
good term for their methods. They
lombard the clouds. When they DO
this, according to their published re-
ports, the movement of hurricane IS
stopped, the lightning and the thunder
cease. rain or melted snow begins 10
fall and the clouds soon pass away.
This bombarding has had a good triai
and it is said that the vineyards pro-
tected by the cannon We're spared
while those outside the lines were
destroyed by the hail. Several guns
have been invented for this rural war
fare. the most remarkable being the
powderless cannon of an Italian hrm.
Acetylene gas mixed with air is used
as the explosive. OF course there Is no
