Tendency of the Times.

The tendency OF medical science
is toward preventive measures.
The best thought of the world Is
being given to the subject. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than
to care. 1t has been fully demon
strated that pneumonia, one OF the
most dangerous diseases that med
ical men have to contend with. can
be prevented by the use OF Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu-
monia always results from a cold
or from an attack of influenza
(grp), and 1t mas been observed
that this remedy counteracrs any
tendency OF these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands Of cases
in which this remedy has been
used during the great prevalence
of colds and "trip in recent years.
and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia Of
ten results from slight cold when
no danger is apprehended until it
is suddenly discovered that there
is fever aud difficulty in breathing
and pains IN The chest, then it Is
announced that the patient has
pneumonia. BE on the safe side
and take Chamberllin's Cough
Remedy as soon as the cold is con
tracted. 1t always cures. For

Baby Eaten By Bears.

Richmond, Va, Special.-A Bedford
City, Va, special, says: A few days
ago three black bears attacked the
children Of a mountaineer named Par
ker. living on the road from None to
Arcadia, on the James river, and killed
and ate his two-year-old child. Par-
ker's three children were playing in
the edge of the woods only few hun
dred yards from the house when the
bears made their appearance. The AMI
mails were very bold, and the two older
children ran to the house, forgetful OF
the baby. The father and mother rush
ed to save the little one, but the bears
had torn the head from the body Of
the child and were devouring it. Du-
ring the winter black bears have been
very troublesome in the mountains and
have preyed on hogs and cattle to such
an extent that owners have been forced
to keep their stock housed.

And yet I can find my courage
And obey my Lords command.

With the clasp Of my Fathers hand.
It is true that the end is coming,
And my mystery, like shroud,
Hangs over the parting waters:

Closer and yet more tender
Grows the clasp Of my Fathers hand.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Special.
which was started by the explosion or !
one Of the big transformers in thel
power house Of the Niagara Falls
Power and Conduit Company Friday
night, destroyed thousands OF dollars
worth Of valuable machinery and tenn
porarily closed most Of the big rae
tories here. AS soon as possible the
work Of replacing the damaged cables
was begun and within two hours tenn
porary arrangements had been made
with the Niagara Falls Hydraulic
Power and Manufacturing Company,
whereby power was secured for operat-
ing the local and Buffalo trolley line.
Twenty of the IS factories OF Lock-
port, N. Y, were shut down owing to
the fire.
The fire was caused. by a bolt OF
defective insulation, causing short
circuit, which blew up transformer
in the power house. The loss is in the
neighborhood Of $25,00o. The lightning
entered the transformer house directly
and was a bolt Of great magnitude.
At $50 o'clock Saturday night the
temporary repairs at the Niagara Falls

FIXING RESPONSIBILITY.
Important Session of the Anthracite
Commission.

Philadelphia, Special. - The mooted
question of responsibility for the fimi-
tation of the hard coal production was
again an issue before the Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission. The matter
was brought up by Attorney Darrow,
counsel for the miners, who requested
the commission to summon the presi-
dents of the coal-carrying railroads as
witnesses. The demand resulted in 4
lengthy discussion between Chairman
Gray, counsel for the independent op-
orators, and Mr.. Darrow. Chairman
Gray said the commission would con-
slider the matter of calling the presi-
dents for stated purposes and if the
issue Is regarded as being before the
body they will be called, otherwise the
presidents will not be asked to tes-
tify.
Counsel for the miners also an
nounced that he had received numer-
Gus letters from large operators and
Governors Of State in the bituminous
region and desired to have some rep
resentatives OF that district appear
before the committee to give informa-
tion concerning trade agreements. II
this could not be done the miners
union would like to have the letters
read before the commission. The chair
man said the subject is at present be-
ing held under Amusement by the COM
mission.
There has been testimony before
the commission said Mr., DaFrsa,
that the miners have limited to eDal
production. We believe the restriction
has been made by the operators. But
so long as the companies have made
the charge, l want to bring before the
commission the presidents Of the coal
roads, in order that We may be able
to learn the facts"
DO you mean to express the belief"
said Chairman Gray, that the coal
companies have limited the supply be-
yond the natural market limit? |
have looked at the economic side of
this question and formed the opinion
that the coal supply should be con-
served. The wasteful competitive Ge-
struction Of the coal supply is seri-
Gus matter"
AS the discussion proceeded Attor-
Dev Darrow asked Chairman Gray if
he thought an operator had any more
right to order miner to load a GER
tain number Of cars daily than had
miner to tell an operator he would
load only certain number. Chairman
Gray answered negatively, but said
one miner has no right to restrict the
working hours of another.
Then" inquired Mr.. Darrow has
one company. because it is bigger and
stronger, the right to tell another COM
pany it shall do a certain thing?"
Chairman Gray thought not.
Attorney Dickson, for the companies,
stated that during 1901, and up to the
time Of the strike in 1902, the output
OF coal was restricted by concerted
action. The strike was known to be
at hand and the operators made every
effort possible to store as much coal as
possible. The operators. he said, are
anxious to keep the market prices
down by securing an adequate supply
for the demand and also for reserve.
All Of the witnesses called today
were examined by counsel for the min
ers with view Of eliciting informa-
tion concerning the alleged restriction
Of coal production.
