SUWANEE SPRING.

At Camden, N. j., they We're discuss
ing the death of Hon. William j.
Sewell, United States Senator from
New Jersey, when DR.. Taylor, the
family physician, in speaking of the
senator's death this afternoon, said:
He would have probably lived many
years with diabetes had he not gone
abroad, but Carlsbad had always
helped him before, and 1t was there
that he went Tor relief again. 1t was
there that he contracted the pneu2
monia trouble, and this, with the dia-
betes he already had, resulted in a
complication that medical skill proved
unable to cope with"
Thereupon DR.. w. II. Morse, the
American director of the Bureau of
Materia Medica, said:
That meets my argument for Su-
vance Springs. | published a good
word for them five years ago, and l
continue to maintain that in every
way the water is the equal of Carlsbad
OF any other. The Springs are easy of
access, and the psychic influences of
change of scenery and climate are
wonderful There are no chill winds to
cause pneumonia, and no malaria. NV
advice is to send all patients with kid
ney troubles to Suwanee Springs, and
let Carlsbad take care of itself. Springs
equal in every way to the most aristo-
cratic in Europe need our apprecia-
ton, and they are getting it,"

A CAROLINA COUPLE.
Their Thrilling Experience in the
Park Avenue Fire.

Park Avenue Fire.
From the New York Journal
When the cry went up that the Park
Avenue Hotel was afire, the crowd be-
gan to surge from Thirty-fourth street
into Park avenue. all oblivious of the
slush and snow under foot.
At a window o nthe fifth floor there
appeared figure of a woman, clad
in a red wrapper She was poised on
the ledge as if for a plunge into the
slush one hundred feet below.
Only those who have witnessed such
sights can realize the agony of the
succeeding moments. Below in the
street stood men, brave of heart, who
waved their hats and hands to the frail
creatures above them and exhorted her
to turn back, "for Gods sake; to walt
Just one minute more"
Above, the figure stood on a ledge
sixteen inches wide. with arms raised
in silent appeal to the crowd one hun
dred feet below, standing knee deep
in snow and water.
For a moment the figure in red stood
irresolute; then as If by some sudden
inspiration, it moved, just a trifie at
first, then inch by inch along the ledge
to a window fifteen feet southwark on
the Park avenue side of the hotel.
There a man sat crouched in the win
dow He extended his arms and
caught the woman in them as she came
within reach. They stood up together
and gazed down at the crowd and then
to the right and left.
There was pause, and then the man
reaching into the window, dragged into
view a dressing case. He stood hesI-
tating for a moment, and then. after
embracing the woman by his side, he
started to creep along the ledge in the
direction of Thirty-second street, cheer
ed on by the crowd. The woman fol-
lowed him, choosing her footing at
every step and stopping from time to
time to calculate the odds against the
success of the daring performance.
First the man, then the woman, dis
appeared from view. Only for a mo-
ment, however, for when the smoke
cleared away they were seen clinging
TO the side of the building almost with
in reach of each other Eighty feet had
been traversed and the couple now
stood on the fifth-story ledge, in the
middle of the building over the por-
tico, which rises to hight of two sto-
ries in Park avenue. Without hesita-
ton the man dropped until he was sus-
pended by this uncertain support by
his hands, after which the woman low
cred herself over his shoulders. Then
both let go.
When they recovered consciousness
in the hotel the couple seemed sur
prised by their surroundings. Each
supposed that the other was dead. They
could not understand how they es
capped. Both were badly injured.
Il came here with my bride from
South Carolina yesterday" said the
woman's companion. MY name is Rem
