DRAGGED TO SAFETY.
Government Loss as Result of Blaze
In Timber.

In Timber.
Erie, Pa, April Eight members Of
the family of Stanislau Wieczkowski.
a Polander, were dragged unconscious
from their beds at o'clock Saturday
morning nearly smothered by smoke
from a fire caused by a lighted pipe,
which the head of the household
dropped on his bed when he went to
sleep. Passersby the house discov-
cred the fire and rescued the family.
The bed on which Wieczkowsh lee
was blazing fiercely.
The peninsula which forms the har-
Dor Of Erie was the scene Friday night
of a fire which for time threatened to
sweep its entire length of four miles
and destroy thousands OF acres of
timber land.
Nearly 200 acres of young trees and
swamp land was burned over before
the Erie fire department succeeded
in stopping the fire. Myriads Of
snakes were driven out of the burned
district and added startling features to
the work CT the firemen.
The damage is heavy because the
young timber which was burned had
only been set out couple Of years ago
by the government to protect the pen
insula.

Running Out Their Race.

BY 1915 the last survivor Of the Union
forces that participated in the memorable
war of the rebellion will have succumbed
to the rsvages Of time. This, at any rate,
is the official forecast, based on the latest
statistical estimates.
The total number of men enrolled on
the side ofthe Union during the war has
been placed by authoritative compilations
at 2,S59, lS2. In the years since its out
break, the number of survivors has been
steadily cut down until the living veter-
ans of to-day are noticibly reduced below
the 100000 mark. In an interesting
table prepared by Col. f. c. Ainswortb,
chief of the Record and Pension office OF
the War Department, whose long and in
innate familiarity with this branch of the
service makes his judgment particularly
reliable, the probable survivors of the
Union army and navy in the rebellion is
estimated for the series of years as fol-

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical fra

disease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly apon the blood

by destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist
