three thousand pieces Of skin were used
to cover over til raw flesh. In speaking
OF his restoration to health, Mr. Bell
said to an interviewer:
"My recovery from the dreadful shock,
of course, was slow. l suffered untold
fortunes. My nervous system was a
complete wreck; had spells of dizziness,
and, when ] attempted to walk, numb.
ness came over my whole body. My
Sleep was not at all restful or natural
and | always woke tired out My
appetite was poor and at times l suffered
from violent nervous headaches. The
powerful electric shock had undermined
my whole system. In spite of the doc.
tors care didn't seem to improve. ]
had been idle a whole year and grew
anxious to return to my work, but my
condition remained so bad that l wa
very much discouraged and feared ]
would never regain my health.
81 heard of a case similar to mine
which DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People had cured. Then l determined
to try this medicine. By the time 1 had
taken half the second box l could notice
n marked improvement. The headaches
disappeared, my nerves became steadie1
and slept well. i took the pills for o
month and after resumed my work ]
continued till / was perfectly well.
They certainly did wonders for me and
l take pleasure in recommending them"
The above is plain. straightforward
statement of facts. The horrible Incl.
dent occurred on the evening of June II,
1893. and the story of it was published
by the newspapers at the time. The
sequel, which is known to many and is
told i'll Mr., Bells own words, cannot be
doubted. He is well known in Cleveland,
not only through his prominence in
school matters, but as hero-the man
who risked his life in vain attempt to
save woman from a terrible de.Ith.
MIR. Bells accident was not one Of the
sort which falls to the lot of many peo-
pie but the results that followed were
the same, in kind, as the many nervous
troubles with which thousands of persons
are afflicted. Only in his case they were
unusually severe. His nervous system
was wrecked-almost beyond repair
and no medicine did him any good until
he tried DIR. Williams Pink Pills fol-
Pale People. They cured him.
These pills have become famous all
over the world for their wonderful eff.
cacy in cases of this kind. They have
cured when the trouble was as severe al
Mr.. Bells and they cure lesser nervoui
disorders without fail. Acting directly
on the nerves and blood. they are an I'M

dicament. The only way he could reach
her was by window overlooking
Ontario Street, and to this he rushed.
He climbed out and up fire escape till
he was opposite the woman, 'Sno by this
time was unable longer to cry out
On a level with the roof, Mr.. Bell
reached out and with great effort, raised
her from the wire until she was within
reach of those above, who lifted her
senseless form over the coping.
But, when the strain was over, Bells
foot slipped. To save himself from a
frightful fall to the pavement he grasped
wildly and fell across the same wire from
which he had just rescued the woman.
The shock rendered him powerless to
move and he hung there helpless while
the silent, deadly current burned into
his flesh. No one was brave enough to
attempt his rescue and it was several
minutes before the current was turned
off, and he was removed to a place of
safety.
The woman died, but Mr.. Bell was
taken to the General Hospital, where the
doctors found him suffering from Il very
severe nervous shock in addition to being
frightfully burned A few days later
he was removed to his home where he
was confined for eleven months. During

was found necessary to resort to skin

Clara Barton's Work for Humanity.

Senator Mason has added to his fame
and won the applause of the old soldiers
by the joint resolution which he intro
duced in the Senate a few days ago pro-
viding that the thanks of Congress be
extended to Miss Barton and for an APP
preparation of $1,000 for a gold medal to
be bestowed upon her in recognition of
the great work accomplished by her both
during and since the war Miss Barton
is fast approaching fourscore years. she
has gained the Iron Cross by her work in
Germany, and many other countries and
many monarchs have sent her tributes of
their appreciation of her work for hui
manity. 1t is fitting, therefore, that the
United States should also decorate its de-
voted daughter and that its testimonial
should be a special act of Congress and
outshine all the others
No woman of this age has done more
for mankind in the same space of time.
Before the war a teacher in the public
schools, Miss Barton gave up this voca-
ton to go to the front and nurse the
wounded soldiers, and with the declara-
ton of peace she did not abandon the
soldiers 1t was through her efforts that
the bureau of records of missing men in
the armies of the United States was or
ganized, and through her agency the
cemetery at Andersonvllle was laid out.
But her interests were not confined to
this country; she went wherever human
ity suffered, wherever there was a cup of
cool water to be given. When war was
declared in 1870 between Germany and
France she went as quickly as she went
to succor her own compatriots to nurse
and comfort her brothers across the
water At the close of this war she un-
dertook to induce her country to become
member of the Red Cross. Her long
years of patient work, her many failures,
her courage and faith in the face of dis
couragement, her final success are recent
history; so recent that her contempor-
aries remembered with gratitude the part
she played, and the whole nation will
unite with Congress in thanking her.

We're victorious at the Brattlehnrn- Rereat

defeating Vermont Academy in a fast,
hard contest A to IS, and the second team
winning from Brattleboro Academy S1-5.
The Vermont Academy boys played
well, but the superior team work of their
opponents was too much for them. The
ball was in Brattleboro's territory nearly
all the time, but the local boys shot bas-
ket after basket from all parts of the
floor.
The passing by the local players was
also excellent and seemed to sweep the
visitors off their feet. The team play by
the Brattleboro men would compare ia
vorably with anything ever seen here, es-
pecially in the first half. Vermont Acad-
envy had a wonderful player in Captain
Moore, strong not only on the defensive
but also skillful in locating the baskets.
Ferriter led in scoring for Brattleboro,
shooting five pretty baskets Tufts's de-
fensive game was excellent, and although
he got no baskets he seemed to be there
always when the visitors had the ball in
Brattleboros territory. He played
strictly guard" game all the time. The

A Double Tragedy Narrowly Averted
At a Fire in Cleveland.
MAN AND WOMAN FALL
ON LIVE ELECTRIC WIRE.
School Director Thomas H. Bell Nearly Pershes in Desperate
Effort to Rescue a Woman from Awful Peril-The
Woman Dies and He Is Saved in a Remarkable Way

A woman hanging in mid-air, scream
ing in agony, held the gaze of hundreds of
horror-stricllen people who had gathered
near the Wright House on Ontario
street, Cleveland.
Attracted by a slight fire in that
vicinity, a number of employees and
others got on the roof of the building to
see the blaze. Ida Jantz, was one of the
number and, while looking over the
coping, unthinkingly took hold of live
electric wire
The shock from the heavily charged
wire threw her writhing, over the edge
of the roof upon the wire and she hung
there while the crowd below looked ON,
