WANTED TIE NOISE STOPPED.
Washington Woman Called i'm n PO- 1tceman to Subdue the Walls
 of Sick Baby.

ACapitol Hill woman who was told by neighbor to tell her troubles to a policeman" called in the officer on the bent and caused trouble for the blue- coated guardian, says the Washington Star!
 I'm simply sick and tired of being disturbed" she said to the officer, land I think it's about time the police were putting stop to the noises
 The officer informed her that he was at her service and that he would do all in his power to assist her. He knew that some of her neighbors had managed to get growing roosters and caekling hens decepitated and that other objectionable conditions had been removed. The wo- man with so many troubles also knew of what her neighbors had accomplished and so informed the man in uniform.
 And now" she said, T want you to do as much for me"
 All this time she had not told of the nature of the noises that had caused her so many sleepless moments and the of ficer seemed unable to get at the cause of her troubles. He had been detained past the time for him to send in his hourly call to the station and he was thinking of the explanation he would have to make.
 But guess this is part of police duty" he thought, "and certainly I'll not get in trouble.''
 Making himself comfortable and feel iDg satisfied that his explanation would prove satisfactory to the sergeant he listened until the clock indicated that another hour had passed, Then he be- came uneasy and insisted that the woman should tell him what noise she wanted stopped.
 The worst noise with which have to contend," the woman said, ''is the cry Ing of a baby. When the people with the baby moved into this neighborhood I was told that the young one had the three-months' collie, but that was four months ago, and the infants lungs are growing stronger every day. Will have to stand this forever?"
 The policeman said good morning and departed

 The fires in the extensive petroleum works at Balakhamy, which are be- Iieved to have been of incendiary ori- gin, are still raging. The military, it is reported, are unable to cope with the strikers. Matters are so threatening in Balakhamy district that foreigners are fleeing to the coast for safety.
 The commerce of Odessa is seriously hampered by the strike of dock labor CTS and sailors belonging to mercantile vessels. The movement Is extending to other Russian ports of the Black sea, and it is expected to extend to the whole Russian shore, where numbers of vessels are already idle owing to lack of cargoes. The big steamship companies are continuing their sery- ices with the help of the government, which is providing them temporarily with sailors from the navy.

RADIUM CURE FOR CANCER.
An Interesting Case Recently Report. ed to the Vienna Society e3
 Physlcians.

Medical circles in Vienna are greatly interested in 8 report communicated to the Viennese Society of Physicians and read at a recent meeting of the Imperial Academy of Science, to the effect that. a long-standing case of cancer was cured by radium rays at the clinic of the late Prof. Gussenbauer. The patient, who was 61 years of age, had long suffered from cancer of the palate and lip, and had repeatedly been operated upon fruitlessly, until the autumn of 1902, when the physicians of the Viennese hospital declared 1t was absolutely use- less to operate again. One physician determined, as a last resort, to try ra- dium rays and treated the afflicted parts by exposing them to the light of radium bromide, the strongest radium preparation in existence. He was re- warded by gradual and complete dis appearance of the tumors.
 Physicians at the same meeting re- ported that radium rays had cured a case of melahosarcoma Ca tumor con- tainipg black or other dark-colored matter), and several cases of red mole.

Revival of Calico.

There is an old material coming to the fore again, and this Is nothing more nor less than old-fashioned calico. A calico gown is so out of date as to be hopeless to the majority of people, yet those who keep right up to the mark are looking to the new calico and investing in it. The special cause of the return of calico to popularity is the shirt waist suit, for calico makes up so very neat ly into these suits, And another req son is the improvement in the patterns of the new .calicoes which leave so very little to be desired. There come very pretty calico patterns in cream with a little figure and in light blue and light pink and in the darker colors, brown, green and navy blue. These wash we'll, wear like iron, and are so very neat that one is tempted to invest so that one can have pretty shirt waist suit for morning wear.--Brooklyn Eagle.

ANIMALS AT FUNERALS.
Birds, Dogs ana Horses Follow NTas- ters to Their Graves, Because
 of Strange Whima.

Provisions in wills, and the last re- quests of dying men, often account for strange funerals. A funeral in small eastern city attracted attention recent ly, although 1t differed only slightly from the usual kind On the velvet pail which covered the cof1n was large white handkerchief, on which rested a couple of small bird cages, each with a canary inside.
 It was bright, sunny day, and the at- tention of all passers-by was attracted towards the gloomy procession. The funeral was that of bird fancier, who, just before his death, had made his wife promise that his two ret canaries should accompany his cofin to the grave. Little bits of crape were tied round their cages. The woodwork had also been stained dark color, which gave them peculiar appearance.
 The death of famous dog fancier near Albany, N Y., was followed by funeral in which half the attendants belonged to the canine species, each of

 For an hour and seven minutes they worked to windward, the sea becoming smoother as they got in the lee of the land. At o'clock D. m, when off Sea bright, eight miles from Sandy Hook lightship, the challenger was six min- utes ahead of the old boat and straight to windward of her.

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. It Is also a safe and absolutely, sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- lutely sure remedy for all itch. Ing diseases of the skin.

At o'clock as it became more and

OFFICIALLY CONTRADlCTED.
British Fleet Not Ordered to Turkish
Waters.

London, Aug. 21.-The admiralty de-
nies the Daily Chronicles statement
that Admiral Domville, commanding
the British Mediterranean squadron
now off the coast of Portugal, had re-
ceived urgent orders Immediately to
dispatch some of his ships to the vi
cinity OF Salonica. The officials in.
formed the Associated Press that
nothing had been done regarding the
dispatch of British force to Turkish
waters and 1t was not expected that
such action would be taken in view
of Great Britain's announced support
of the policy Of Russia and Austria,
unless a radical change In the situa-
tion should occur
The British foreign Office has been
notified of the orders issued to the
Italian squadron, which appear to
have been communicated to all the
capitals. and which the Italian diplo-
mats say does not mean that Italy in
tends to withdraw in the slightest de-
gree from cooperating with the pow
ers. The Austrian embassy vouches
for the continuance up to the present
of the harmonious agreement between
the powers relative to Macedonia.
