CHICAGO'S LATEST HERO.
John Walsh Rescues Two Children
from Their Burning Home.

Chicago, April 17.-Leaning over the
roof of his house, lighted by the flames
from burning building next door. at
an early hour, Thursday, John Walsh
passed to his wife, who chung to the
edge Of a window below, two little chill
Gren whose lives he had saved from
the fire at the risk of his own. An
other John Walsh, a policeman from
the Chicago Avenue station, was lead
ing two companions along a narrow
passage under the burning structure to
where he heard what were apparently
the cries of a womans.
The cries came from a fox terrier
almost suffocated. The three men faced
death and rescued a dog from crema-
tor. while the dogs owner, who is
Walsh, was engaged with his work of
rescue to save his neighbor's children.
Walsh booked out upon the narrow
court separating the two buildings and
saw two little frightened faces pressed
against window pane. He climbed to
the roof of his house. This brought him
on the side furthest from the burning
structure. Between him and the i'm
perilled children was the peaked roof.
Grasping a ladder. he made his way
around the coping to the spot opposite
the window where the children were.
Planting one end of the ladder against
the cornce of his house and the other
on the window opposite, he crawled
across and managed to reach the win
dow. He took a child under each arm
and descended the leaning ladder, with
his back braced against the rungs.
His wife opened the window, stood
upon a chair inside, and, clinging to
the sash, leaned out. Walsh, cinging
partly to the ladder and partly to the
cornice, leaning against the edge of the
roof, one at time lowered the chill
dren.

POLICE SAVED HIM.
Referee CheItra's Decision in Fight at
Lewiston Not Satisfactory.

Lewiston. Me-, April 1.-THE spar
ring exhibition between Mike Sullivan
of Cambridge, Mass, and Arthur Cote
of Biddeford, before the Lewiston A.
c., tonight was decided a draw at the
end of the 18th round by Referee
Charles Cheltra of Bath, who acted as
referee. The announcement was greet
ed with Kisses, boots and jeers by the
crowd and but for the interference of
the police, Cheltra might have been
roughly dealt with.
Sullivan had much the best of the
scrap and in the 14th round knocked
Cote down twice and in the last round
three times and repeatedly forced him
to the ropes. Cote took a great deal
of punishment and put up good fight,
but was not Sullivans equal.

Lowell. Mass, April 1.-THE mills of
Lowell are running as usual, today, and
there Is very little prospect of trouble.
The withdrawal of the loom fiXers from
the Textile Council, last night. is re-
%afded as a protest against delay in
the past rather than a step toward a
future strike. The local unions have
to take action and advise the Textile
Council before any action looking to-
ward a strike can be taken. AS they
have not called a special meeting it is
likely that they are willing to await
developments.

One of the most unsightly places in
the city is the strip of land on the
Causeway. between Harrington's coal
Office and Millions marble works. This
has been used as a public dumping
ground and the amount of rubbish that
has collected there is an eye-sore to
paSsers-by and its nearness to the rail-
road track makes it about the first
place seen by strangers coming into
the city and it must leave not a very
good impression. Paper, tin cans, old
boots. bottles, etc, show very prOmi-
nently and on windy day the loose
paper blows the length of the Cause
way and makes a displeasing sight.
Before the fair in the Coliseum there
ought to be something done to improve
the appearance of the locality. as many
strangers will be here at that time.

C0NvALESCENCE
The Remedy That We
Reco m mend To Be
Taken After Sickness
Is vinoI, It Pro.
notes Strength and
Quick Recovery.

The worst part Of being sick is the
getting well. That is the time when
patience is a virtue.
The sufferer cannot see from day to day
that any strength is gained. The Apo
tite Is fitful; the hours drag YEARLY and
1t seems that Nature would never be able
to resume her natural course.
Nature finds hard work after the repair
ing process she has been going through
to do much more without aid She cries
out for help. We know at such times
Vino is of great assistance.
We have posted ourselves concerning
the scientific action that takes place when
Vinol is taken into the system We would
be very glad to tell you what we have
learned in this direction and how Vinol
acts upon the body. We have in our
experience had many opportunities to
notice the result that has actually been
accomplished where Vinol has been used.
These results have always been satis-
factory, often astounding even to us.
If you are getting well from any
trouble try Vinol. You will sleep better;
your appetite will improve, and, above
all, that which you eat will moro readily
assimilate. 1t will be only day or two
before you Will IGdllZ6 LIldL your oIIcuSlu
Is increasing.
If anyone is slseptical we only ask one
thing; that is, that such one call on us
and let us at least endeavor to convince
him. Such a conversation cannot do any,
one harm. Here is letter concerning
Vinol, from Mr.. Isaac Champagne of
Keene, N. II. He says:
at IS with great pleasure that endorse
Vinol My little girl Cora, after hard
case of scarlet fever took it with the very
best results. I do not believe she would
ever have recovered if it had not been for
Vinol she was SO weak. Now she is in
the very best of health"
Remember we guarantee Vinol and
always stand ready to refund to the
purchaser the price paid for It II com.
