Fire, starting in the room of cham

under control. Only half dozen rooms
were burned, and the damage, estimated

What Grant Saw In Canada.

Lord Dufferin when viceroy of Cana da paid q visit to Washington whil, General Grant was president. He cas- ually asked the president whether ht had ever been in Canada.
 The reply was striking example Of General Grants brusque Outspoker ness, "No; have never set foot on CH nadlan soil, but have approached near enough to its shores in steam boat to see the grass growing in the streets of the Canadian towns"
 Lord Dufferin saw that General Grant shared with !aanV of his coun trymen at that time common misup prehenson in regard to the resources and destinies of Canada. - London News.

Danger Tn POlsOns.

It Is lamentable that neither repeated warning nor sad experience seems to have the desired effect of making the ordinary person cautious in the use of poisons. In the last few days three children have died presumably from taking poison that was carelessly left within their reach. One would suppose that such accidents would by this time have become almost impossible, yet they are constantly recurring with Q frequency that demands further warn ing. If parents would learn to keep poisons in place where they could not be reached by others there would be fewer accidents.
 It is the old principle of familiarity breeding contempt. It cannot be too strongly impressed upon every one that the only immunity from danger Is through constant care and precaution. It is a lesson that needs to be impressed upon every individua! without eXcep tion.-Philadelpha Inquirer.

For the last ten or fifteen years I have been reading Dr. Hart mans books and have learned from them one thing in particular That these affections are the same and that they are properly called catarrh.
 "As for Dr. Hartman's remedy, Pe- runa,-I have found it to be the best, if not the only reliable remedy for these affections. 1t has been my standby for many years and attribute my good health and my extreme old age to this remedy.
 Tt exactly meets all my requirements. I have come to rely upon it almost entirely for the many little things for which I need medicine. believe it to be especially valuable to old people, although I have no doubt it is just as good for the young. "-Issac Brock.

 Major Frank O'Mahoney, West Side, Hannibal, Mo-, writes:

 "Up to few years ago l felt no need to test it's incidental potency, but lately when my system needed it, your Pe- rnna relieved me of many catarrhal troubles. Some two years ago weighed 2l0 pounds, but fell away down to 16s pounds, and besides loss of flesh 1 was subject to stomach troubles, indiges- tion, loss of appetite, insomnia, night sweats, and forboding of getting my entire system out of order. During some months gave Peruna fair trial and it rejuvenated my whole system. I feel thankful therefore, for although 79 years old feel like young man" " Major Frank O'Mahoiey.

Sir Henry Irvin's prodigality to- ward servants was well illustrated some years ago when he was at Bluff Point. Lake Champlain. He gave the driver of the break which daily ran to Au Sable Chasm $50 in two weeks and feed the other servants with like reck- lessness. The guests of the hotel grew very indignant. because there was no getting along with the employees. who almost literally fought among them selves to minister to the needs of the English actor and sadly neglected the test of the guests.

BROKERS Do DIRTY
. WORK FOR DEALERS
Coal Practices of Other Cities
Transferred to st.
Paul.

There is a well defined impression
prevailing throughout the city that
there is an available supply of hard
coal, and that it is being held by local
dealers and brokers for higher prices.
That some INSCRIPTIONS dealers have
coal and that they are taking advant-
age of the public necessity, hoping to
secure higher prices by waiting until
the supply becomes so meager and the
suffering Of the people so intense that
they can get any price they name,
however eXorbitant, is generally be-
lieved. 2 SOS ssss.1
Already hard coal is being retailed
by the bucketful at prices which aggre-
gates $40 per ton. 1t is reported that a
dealer in an outlying portion Of the
city yesterday sold hard coal by the
pound, allowing each person a fifty
pound sack for so cents.
A man on Seventh street, who is
known to have an abundant: supply,
! was last week selling hard coal at SIS
per ton, but when approached by rep
resentative Of T h e Glob e declared
that he was disposing of but a limited
quantity. 1t is understood that he is
handling the coal for others, who have
about 500 tons available. He was quiet
ly selling itlfor So per ton.
Prominent dealers, who have a repu-
tation to maintain, fear to go before the
public demanding such unreasonable
prices, and many of them are said to
have devised the plan of having some
irresponsible small dealer do the dirty
work.
