FOG RESPONSIBLE
FOR MANY ACCIDENTS

London, Nov 1S.-Saturday's fog,
which was general throughout the
United Kingdom, was responsible for
many accidents and fatalities. The
driver of London omnibus was found
dead on his box while the vehicle was
still running. He was a victim Of cold
and fog.
Several collisions occurred in the
Mersey. The Dominion liner Roman,
Capt. Ingraham, from Portland, Nov.

steamer Sapphire, Capt. Luke, of the
Dundee Gem line. Fortunately there
was no loss of life.
A Norwegian brigantine has been
seen drifting helplessly off Hull, and IT

HORRIBLY BRUNEI
BY MOLTEN LEAD

Homestead Pa. Nov. 17.-One man
dead and two seriously burned is the
result of a party Of workmen being
buried under a mass of molten Stag at
the Howard axle works today. The
dead man is John Ruska, aged 80
years, of Homestead. He leaves a
widow and four children.
The victims were engaged in collect
ing scrap, when a party Of workmen
at the top of the dump, about 20 feet
above. dumped their car over the edge,
not noticing that the men were directly
beneath them. The car contained about
eight tons of Stag, a part Of which was
red hot. and much Of it in a molten
state

ern Massachusetts man. For this rea-
son it was assumed that Hon. George
P. Lawrence might be brought out as
a candidate for the second place on
the ticket; a proceeding that would
doubtless please the congressman very
much indeed. But Berkshire is alto
gether too well pleased with the work
of her congressman, and proposes 10
keen him Just where he Is at present.
Then .rumors were heard of a plan to
secure some western Massachusetts
man to run for lieutenant-governor,
with a string to his candidacy in the
shape of a solemn agreement tnat, I'M
der no condition, would he seek the
nomination for governor four years
hence. but that he would withdraw in
favor of Gen. Guild. 1t is understood
that this plan was not received with
favor-by the leaders, nor by Gen.
Guilds friends as IL was evident that
the best plan for any man who desires
to be governor to pursue, Is to get IN
line. Occasionally one hears tax OF
President Soule for Acknowledgment
or but this does not seem to eminate
from his friends, as his congressloila,il
ambitions are altogether too well
known.
The expected has happened as rule
in the caIic11ses this week. The Dem
ocrats had haleyon time Friday IN
Boston. Mayor Hart will have the
pleasure of a full Endorsement by ms
own party, and now knows, as In tact
he has known for some time, that ne
must meet Hon. p. A. Collins AGAIN
without Hon. John r. Murphy to break
up the Democratic vote Mayor Hart
is full of courage, however.
The indications are that If w. II. l.
HAYES of Lowell goes on the committee
on rules of the House next year ne VIII
not go on the committee on cities as
chairman, but must content hlmseH
with some other chairmanship, ana go
without a membership. If he is maze
a monitor and chairman Of some COM
mittee he will not go on the rules COM
mittee Rumor has 1t that the pres
sure for places, which in recent years
has centered in the committee on
street railways, now has changed To-
the committee on rules, which has in
recent years become to be a very inn
portant body. There are few vacancies
however, and one at least OF these must
go to a Democrat one to western
Massachusetts man, and one to Bos-
ton Republican.
The House membership Of the man
ufactures committee win be Largely
made up Of new material this year, and
the chances are that its chairman viii
not be a man who has been on the
committee this year. II 1t is, it is
doubtful if the question Of who Is the
ranking member will settle the ques-
ton. Mr.. Pierce of Fitchburg has not
been reckoned as leader in debate IN
previous years, and with a gas war"
on. as seems likely, this consideration,
with others, will lead TO the selection
of some man Of the stamp Of Dean Of
Brookline, probably, though it is
doubtful If Mr.. Dean himself would
leave the ways and means committee
for this, or any other place. MANN.

"Often the Church Building Society

more Home Missionary aid the next
year, because they emptied their pock-
cts on the building; and the extra eX-
pense to the Home Missionary Society
proves to be more than the amount the
Church Building Society cut them

missionary has is in the struggle to
pay for a church building when the

The Master Inventor,

A story will serve to throw new
light upon Edison's character. At
one time there was great fear in the
scientific world that the deposits of
platinum were about to become ex-
tinct. Edison thcreupon organized a
correspondence bureau, and sent let
tiers to every American consul upon
the globe, to British consuls in ports
where the United States had no rep
rescntative, and to scientific men in
every land. The letter gave a clear
statement respecting the metal, how
and where il was found and might be
found, how il could be identified and
treated. and much other information.
In each letter was inclosed samples
of platinum as found in the various
rock beds. This may seem to be a
small undertaking, but when it is re-
membered that the letters were sent
off by the thousands, that the post
age was ten cents to each letter, and
that the pieces of platinum inclosed
were almost as valuable as metallic
pold. the cost of the achievement is
readily seen. While he did not sue
coed in greatly increasing the out
put of platinum, he set at rest al
fear Of its extinction, and thus earned
the gratitude of every scientific in
yestigator.- Frank Lcslie's Popular

4 dignificd, stylishly dressed man
was walking down Michigan avenue
one bright noon hour last week when
the lake front, north of the Art insti-
tutc, was filled with clerks and-em-
ployes from the various business
houses in the neighborhood playing
baseball. The balls were flying thick
through the air, and one flew over an
amateur catcher's head and struck the
identified person hard thump in the
back. The dignified gentleman whirled
about in righteous, anger and his face
CLEANED with wrath as he sought TO
find words to convey his opinion of the
ball tossers. But the catcher who had
missed the ball merely laughed and
shouted out to the dignified man:
"That's all right. Take yer base.
The dignified persons anger melted
away and his face softened into a
smile. "That's So" he said, II do get
base for being hit with pitched
ball. don't I?' And he turned around
and walked away chuckling.-Chicago

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"Something New Under

All doctors have tried to cure CA
TARH by the use of powders, acid gases,
inhaers and drugs in paste form. Their
powders dry up the mucuous membranes
causing them to crack open and bleed.
The powder acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed
to cure, while pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and ex-
perienced practitioner who has for many
years made close study and specially
of the treatment Of CATARRH, has at
last perfected q Treatment which when
faithfully used, not only relieves at once,
but permanently cures CATARRH, by
removing the cause, stopping the dis
charges, and curing all Inflammation. 1t
is the only remedy known to science that
actually reaches the afflicted parts. This
wonderful remedy is known as "SNUF-
FILES the GUARANTEED CATARRII

low price of One Dollar, each package
containing internal and external medi-
cine sufficient for a full months treat
ment and everything necessary to its per-
feet use.
