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 II is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. Il has
been fully demonstrated that pneumo-
MIA, one OF the most dangerous dis.
eases that medical men have to con.
tend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold
or from an attack Of influenza (grip),
and It has been observed that this rem
edy counteracts 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 grip in recent years, and
can be relied upon with implicit con.
iidence. Pneumonia often results
from a slight cold when no danger Is
apprehended until 1t Is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and diff.
Guilty in breathing and pains in the
chest, then IL is announced that the
patient has pneumonia BE on the
safe side and take Chamberlain s
Cough remedy as soon as the cold Is
contracted. II always cures. For sale

AN AWFUL MENACE.
Bishop satterlee BIames Husbands an.
Fathers for Growing Divorce

Washington, April 21.-"The Jews
are preserving the home and family
better than we Christians are doing.
l do not know how to account for this,
but 1 do know 1t to be a fact"
Bishop Satterlee of the Episcopal
church made this declaration in a ser
mon here last night in which the main
subject of his discourse was divorce.
Men, said the bishop, are losing respect
for the home and caring less for the
family, the unit Of u civilization. On
the shoulders Of the husbands and ia
theirs of the land, he continued, rests
the responsibility for the low estate to
which the family has fallen in this
country. They fostered me encour-
aged the greatest curse of the age
divorce and the loose manner in which
the sacred marriage VOWS We're being
kept.
The great evil. the most frightful
danger, of our age is divorce and the
breaking down of the family institu-
ton" said the bishop. If it is not
stopped the women of this country and
our race will be degraded within fifty
va ~ c - a ..--= .. .nE t-r. Es.

WILD TROLLEY CAR.
Heavy Car Dashes Down a Steep Hill
and Collides With a Freight

Pittsburg, Pa, April 21.-Because an
electric brake refused to work a crowd
ed Western avenue car of the Pittsburg
Railway company ran away yesterday
on Federal street, Allegheny, wrecked
a carriage, broke through the safety
gates of he Fort. Wayne railroad, de-
rallied a fast moving freight n then
went to pieces. Almost all of the forty
five passengers aboard the ear were
hurt, though only n fatally, his Il
being H. Hirsch.
When the ulotorman tried to use the
safety stop on the steep grade at Stock
ton avenue he found the power brake
MS useless and the car beyond control.
1t had about 1875 yards to go before
reaching the gates of the railroad,
which were down to let a freight train
pass. The big car gained momentum
every second.
Harry Catlin was trying to get his
carriage off the track, but failed, and
t was wrecked completely. The al
dashed through the safety gates, struck
an empty refrigerator car in the moving
freight train, turned it over and de-
rallied several other cars. BY this time
the trolley ear was a wreck itself and
its passengers We're strewn in all direc-
tons.
