IN town in the morning, and while
| on the way to hotel funeras
procession crossed their path Before
this Michael had been in good spirits
ana spoke confidently of winning. AS
soon as the funeral had passed, howey-
er, he became morose and arrived at his
hotel in a Very detected frame of mind
With the race only a few hours off,
his manager realized that Jimmy must
be put into good humor. So he tried
to laugh the little Welshman out of his
fears and gave him some ale, of which
| Jimmy is very fond.
| 1t wouldn't do, however. Jimmy was
dead sure he'd lose and declared that
with such a hoodoo as meeting a fu-
neral staring him in the face he might
just as well not try. At last his man
aser left him in his room and went
| down to the lobby to hatch up some
scheme by which he could cheer Jimmy
| up. After couple of hours hard
| thinking he went to the ''Rarebit's"
room and said:
Jimmy, I've just seen McDuffee, and
| he's all broken up and in the Dumps
Why. what's the matter with him ?''
asked Jimmy
Its a queer coincidence" replied the
| astute manager, that Eddie met that
same procession on it's way to the GEM
etery. and, like you, he's sure he can't
win. Hes worse cut up about it even
| than you are. Now you are both in
| the same box, but you can't both lose.
and you have the advantage because
you know how he feels. while he thinks
! you are all right. Now, you go in and
do your best and you'll win out easy
| Michael frightened up at once got
his courage back and won the race
| with something to spare.
The annual cross country Champion
! ship race of the Amateur Athletic un-
ion will this year be held over the eight
mile course of the Star Athletic club of
| Long Island City. Several novelties
| will be introduced. In addition to the Jun
Tor and senior championship prizes each
| individual runner whose club does not
enter a team. but who feels that he has
chance to Win out, will be given a
prize for his own efforts if good enough,
irrespective of the team contests. This
will make the event an individual al
! we'll as team championship race.
which will considerably enhance inter-
| est in it. Some of the best clubs in the
country have announced that they will
enter teams, and it is thought that rec
ords will be smashed if the going is at
all favorable.

George is unique actor too. He is
not good actor by any means, but he
is somewhat different as they put it
on the Rialto and that counts flor a
great deal in these days of siaviSh imi-
tation. AS a dancer he is in a class
with his sister, who, so far as the wo-
men OF this country are concerned, is
in a class by herself. Let George and
Josie be given really good farce writ

that it is almost impossible to get good

Few of the spectators at the recent
bout between Paul Pons and Ernest

doubtful if another affair between pro-

SCARCITY
Of Coaches Is Denied
Here.
insufficient Notice Has Caused
Much of the Trouble.

The cry goes up all over the coun-
try that there is a scarcity of coaches
on the railroads. Lodges and other or
who have projected outings
and excursions have found that they
would be obliged to wait some time be-
fore sufficient coaches could be secured
for their trips. The local railway men
when asked regarding this report say
that the scarcity has not been noticed
by them to any great extent Unless
the notice given was very short, the
picnics and excursions given over the
roads were not hampered by any lack
Of cars. The great trouble here has
been that the organizations giving the
plcnics have usually been afraid of 60
ing to unnecessary expense and have
usually made arrangements for num-
Der of cars too small to take care of
the crowd. Then, at the last moment
they have found it necessary to have
more cars and the cars have not been

HEAT NERVE PROSTRATIOA.
Sudden ProstratlOn Is a Feature Of Hot
Weather-Upset Nerves and Weak
Nerve CenterS are the Causes.

All along the line of mental and
muscular exhaustion so prevalent dur
ing the summer months is the under
over consumption of nerve tissue
which has not been replaced. 1t Is
manifested in the mind that refuses
to receive and act upon impressions
in the usual way-and that, some
times when attempted to be whipped
into work, jumps the bounds of rea-
son and founders In maze OF con-
fusion. 1t is manifested physically by
an over-tired, ,languid, eXertionless, mus
cle-relaxed condition that lacks resist
ing power which is necessary to with
stand heat exposure. It's by the in
1uence of DR.. A. W. Chase's Nerve
Pills in rallying nerve force that
energy Is quickened-the great web-like
nerve system of the body vibrates with
new life-brain nerves-heart nerves
stomach nerves feel the influence as
activity replaces lassitude and strength
is regained. The hidden current with
in which spells life has been brought
to natures required standard.

BURIED
Beneath Molten
Metal.
Four Dead; Six Dying
at Youngstown.
Terrible Explosion at
Steel Co.'S Plant.
Ten Tons of Hot Metal Falls Into
Vat of Water.

Youngstown, Aug 19.-(Spl.)--As the
result of an explosion caused here Sun
day morning at o'clock, by 10 tons
of molten metal falling from ladle
into vat of water sat the National
Steel Co.'s plant, four men are dead,
six are dying and many others were
badly hurt. AS soon as the metal
struck the water there was n terrible
explosion. The metal was thrown about
twisting great beams in the roof and
sides of the building and hot metal
was thrown among the men, some fifty
of whom were in the building. Some
of the men were nearly covered under
the metal. Their bodies had to be dug
ont of it and when they were recovered
flesh dropped from their limbs and
great pieces of their clothes remained
on the ground.
None of the men were killed out
right and the poor victims writhed
and struggled in the hands of their
rescuers. Not one of them was able
to see and the eyes of several were
burned from their sockets.
Hurry calls were sent for all the am
balances in town, but the supply was
not adequate. The injured We're piled
two and three in wagon, and they
| went screaming and groaning to the
hospitals. 1t was some time before
doctors could be summoned and it was
necessary for the nurses to- give them
the little relief possible.
