look like ordinary sores and are usually
treated as such, some simple salve, wash
or powder being used in the hope of dry
ing them up and stopping the discharge;
but while the place may temporarily scab
over, it again inhames and testers, be-
coming as bad or worse than ever. After
awhile the deadly poison begins to eat
into the surrounding flesh and the sore
spreads with frightful rapidity. Then the
sharp shooting pains, which distinguish
the cancerous from the common ulcer,
are felt, and the unfortunate patient is
brought face to face with the most dread
ed of all maladies, cancerous ulcer.
Whenever an ulcer of any kind is slow
in healing it should be closely watched,
particularly if there is an inherited pre-
disposition to cancer Often times a ma

HIGH ABOVE SEA LINE

Uncle Sam will erect the highest warn.
ing and storm tower in the government
weather service at Lewes. Theodore F.
Townsend, chief of the Weather Bureau
for this district, has invited bids for the
erection of the tower, which will be lis
feet in height and surmounted by 30
foot mast for flying the weather signal
flags.
The new tower will make the weather
station at Lewes one of the most COM
plete in the government service. The
government has warning towers at Fort
Norris, Cape May Point and on the
Bourse in Philadelphia, but the new one,
besides being larger, will differ in several
respects.
Across tho top of the tower there will
extend large steel arm, from which a
cable will be suspended, on which the
flags for the international code of signals
for ships at sea will be displayed. Two
large lanterns will be lifted in the centre
OF the tower by means of windlass at
night. The upper light will be eighty
feet above the level OF the sea and the
lower one seventy above the water.
The weather and code signal flags used
at the tower will be eight feet square.
Vessels will be constantly signalsd as to
weather conditions and warned of dan
gers.

FIRE AT LAUREL

The explosion OF gasoline stove Tues
day morning in the home of George G.
Spicer, in Brooklyn, as that part of town
east of Laurel river is known, caused one
OF the largest conhagrations that has
been seen there for sometime.
The fire started shortly before IL
O'Clock, and famed by strong wind
soon spread to the adjoining houses. In
short time the houses of Spicer and
James Wiley were consumed and the
brands set fire to Melvin's brandy ware
house, which was also destroyed, to.
gether with four other buildings.
The fire companies were powerless to
render assistance as that part of the town
is not in the corporation, and the resi-
dents resisted every effort to have it in
corporated OH account of the additional
taxes, and as consequence they have no
water service or fire plugs.
While the flames were raging several
women in attempting to remove furni-
ture and personal possessions from the
doomed buildings were severely burned.
The fire was fierce. aud it did not re-
quire but about an hour to reduce the
handsome dwellings to ashes.
The fighters were compelled to leave
the buildings to be burned and fight to
save their companions and several women.
Miss Gertie Walls, whose hair caught
fire, was most seriously burned.

NEWSPAPERS AIDED BY LYNCHINGs

kilograms from various parts of the
country for an opinion on the Presidents
letter on the subject of lynching. To a

A report has been received in Washing
ton from Oyster Bay to the effect that
there is a possibility of the President s
calling Congress in extraordinary session,
in extraordinary session, even before the
date heretofore announced, November
9th. This report is believed to have
grown out of statement made by Sena-
tor Aldrich in which he says "should the
President call Congress in session in Oc-
tober or November" 1t is reported that
the members of the subcommittee of
the Senate committee ON Finance, who
have been in Oyster Bay comforting with
the President with regard to the financial
bill they are charged with drafting, have
urged upon Mr.. Roosevelt the advisa-
bility OF authorizing Congress to take up
the financial measure in advance of the
resolution necessary to put the provisions
OF the Cuban treaty into effect and that
the President has refused to do so but
has said he would call Congress even ear
lier than had been anticipated, if that
were considered advisable by the mem
bers of the committee. Politicians and |
officials in Washington are hoping the |
rumor prove to be nnfounded as they |
believe it would be mistake to attempt /
to convene a session of Congress before
The local elections are over.

steamer coming in the river from Phila-
delphia, they pulled their little open
yacht in the eddy Of some piling, where
they thought themselves secure.
The steamer, however, started an extra
putting when passing them and the wheel
turned violently, throwing them all out of
the boat, which was capsized and then
drawing both girls within few feet of
the steamers wheel where they were al
most paralyzed by fright. Miss HUM
did some expert swimming, and, with
Mr.. Hunn's assistance, rescued Miss
Cooper. Mr.. HUM lost his gold watch
and other valuables and the pretty cloth
ing OF the girls was practically ruined.

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, August 18th, 1903.
ICABLE communication is again estab.
~ lished between the United States and
Bogota, the capital of Colombia, but the
first news received from that point in
several weeks is by no means encourag-
| ing for the ratification of the Panama
canal treaty and the advocates OF the
Nicaraguan route are much encouraged
No test vote has been taken in the Col
ombian Congress, but in committee a
large number of amendments were
adopted by vote of II to 2 and two
members who voted negatively are in
favor of the entire reputation of the
treaty. Senator Cullom has been in
Oyster Bay in conference with the Presi-
dent regarding the possibility of getting
the acceptance of the treaty by the Sem
ate in its amended form and he plainly
told the President that he believed there
was little likelihood of the Senate's sanc-
tioning any changes in the convention.
DR.. Herran, the Colombian charge
d'affaires in Washington, still maintains
hopeful attitude but it is believed that
he is almost hoping against hope. By
the provisions Of the Spooner law, which
the treaty with Colombia was negotiated,
the President is instructed to conduct
negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica in the even that negotiations with
Colombia fail and the representatives of |
those governments are on the ground
and ready to complete treaty under the |
most favorable terms.

There are some very interesting and
important state campaigns this year, not.
withstanding the fact that it is what is
known as can off year." The campaign,
already on in Ohio, promises to be hot
one. Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland
has announced his determination to de-
feat Senator Hanna for the Senate by Sc
curing the election of legislature hostile
to the iunitor Senator from Ohio. While
there is no reason to believe that John
son can accomplish this end, it is appre-
ciated that the Ohio Republicans must
be prepared to make good fight and no
member of Congress can be spared from
the field in advance of the voting. In
Rhode Island there is also peculiar con-
dition and one requiring close attention.
The Democrats have made unprecedented
gains in that state and as Senator Aldrich
will go before the legislature next year
for reelection it is most important that
the lost ground be recovered in the ap-
preaching campaign. 1t is the intention
of the Republican leaders in that state to
conduct a whirlwind campaign with the
hope of sweeping all before them and it
may become necessary for Senator AID
rich personally to superintend the fight.
Situations almost as interesting exist in
other states and for that reason the Re-
publican politicians are hoping that the
President will not impose on the men,
bers of Congress national duties at time
when their services are needed by their
party in their own states.

Secretary Shaw, Comptroller of the
Currency Ridgely and former secretary
of the treasury John G. Carlisle, have
all been at Oyster Bay to confer with re-
gard to the needed financial legislation.
Mr.. Carlise was invited to the conference
because the President wishes, in so far
as may be, to defer to the views of the
Democrats and thus insure a large ma
jority for measure which he and his
advisors regard as so essential to the fu-
ture welfare of the country. In this con-
nection it is pointed out that the finan-
cial market is already in a somewhat
precarious condition and scarcity of
money, when it becomes necessary to
send funds west to move the crops, might
be attended with disastrous results. This
argument is doubtless another that is be-
ing used with the President in favor of
an extra early session.
