WOMAN NEARLY KILLED
BURGLARS LEFT THE GAS TURN.
ED ON AND AN AWFUL EX-
PLOSION FOLLOWED.

Chicago, April 15-Burglsys turned
on the gas in a house which they had
just robbed and caused an explosion
which nearly resulted in the death OF
Mrs. Ada Brownell, the wife of Q. W.
Brownell, a prominent western mine
owner. Mrs. Brownell was blown
from the kitchen into the yard where
she lay for an hour before she recover
ed and gave an alarm. The house was
badly wrecked by the explosion. Mrs.
Brownell had been absent from home,
and as she unlocked her door and
lighted a match the gas which filled
the rooms was ignised. Numerous ar
ticles were missed when the ruins
were searched, leading to the belief
that burglars were responsible for the
affair.

LIKES WALKING.
MISS HENRIETTA CROSMAN PRE-.
FERs IT TO RIDING.

Most persons might think that II
fortune were kind enough to give
them a carriage they would ride in it,
but Miss Henrietta Crosman, the ac'
tress, who will be here Friday, fire.
quently uses hers as q sort of escort
while she briskly accompanies it on
foot. This custom of walking beside
her carriage is a frequent one Of Miss
Crosman's after the play at night. 1t
is her way of composing herself after
the wearing excitement Of an evening
in the theater. She votes it far bet
ter than a social supper, which she
never takes, or any Of those other
forms Of relaxation which are popular
ly supposed to belong to stage life. So
1t often happens that when Miss Cros-
man leaves the theater she bundles
her maid into the waiting carriage,
while the actress herself, with her
manager or some member of her exec
utive staff, all Of whom invariably
wait to see her after the performance,
sets out at lively pace to walk. In
New York Miss Crosman lives quito a
distance uptown, just off Fifth ave-
nue., and often she walks the entire
way homo. Again Eve or six blocks
will suffice her, when she halls her
coachman, who always keeps within
call, and makes the rest of the journey
in the carriage.

In the treatment of torturing, disflg-

blotchy and scrofulous humours of the
skin, scalp and blood, with loss Of hair,
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills have
been wonderfully successful. Even

Gus patches In the throat and mouth,
sore eyes, copper-colored blotches, as
well as boils, carbuncles, scurvy, sites,
ulcers and sores arising from an i'm
pure or impoverished condition Of the
blood, yield to the Cuticura Treatment,
when all other remedies and methods
fail.
And greater still, II possible, Is the
wonderful record of cures Of torturing,
dlstiguring humours among infants and
children. The suffering which Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment have alleviated
among the young, and the comfort
they have afforded WORKOUT and wor-
ried parents, have led to their adoption
In countless homes as priceless cura-
tives for the skin and blood. Infantile

itching, scaly, pimply skin aud scalp
humours, with loss Of hair, of infancy

FIRE AND DYNAMITE
INDIANA TOWN Is THREATENED
WITH DESTRUCTION.

Montgomery, Ind, April 16-Wm.
Brown. a merchant, has received a
letter from unknown persons warning
the citizens that unless they place q
glass jar containing $500 at the end
Of a bridge west of here the town will
be destroyed by tire and dynamite.
The letter has caused excitement
among the people, as incendiaries have
made three attempts to set the town
on fire within the last three weeks.
The incendiaries escaped. The letter
said that these efforts to wipe out the
town were but an indication Of what
would come IL the money was not left
at the bridge.

THE ELKS' NEW HOME
Handsome Retreat at Bedford
City, Va, Furnished
Il will,be Dedicated May 81 With I'M
posing Ceremonies by the
Order.
5000 ELKs ARE EXPECTED

The ambition of the Elks of the
United States is to BE- realized on May
81, when their handsome home for
aged and iniirm members is TO be ded-
icated and thrown open for use at Bed
ford City, Va.
Every Elk in the United States is
interested IN the project, aud arrange
ments have been made ON an elaborate
scale for the opening exercises. IL
was necessary to appoint time when
the weather will no sufficiently warm
for the guests to remain out Of doors,
as the building Is not large enough to
accommodate the large number that
will attend. IL is estimated by the
grand lodge officers that over 5000
Elks. representing every section OF the
United States, will congregate in the
little Virginia village in the heart of
the mountains.
The Hotel Bedford. which was pur-
chased by the Elks. was built during
the memorable real estate boom in that
section Of the country in 1890, and
cost to complete $4,000. IL is stu
ated upon a commanding eminence
upon the western suburbs Of the town
of Bedford city and natohless vistas of
landscape may be seen spread out from
1t in all directions, the most prominent
of which are the twin peaks Of the
Otter. the gems of the Blue Ridge
mountains.
The building was purchased by the
Elks for s12, 900, and they have spent
over $40, 900 in improvements. The
manner Of raising this fund which
was not in the. way of extra cost to any
member of the organization, is interest.
ing.
When the first talk Of the project be-
gan the question Of making an assess
ment against the members Of the or
der was discussed, and IL was conolud-
ed that it would not be wise to make
any extra tax ON the members. Upon
inquiry however, 1t was found that
each lodge in the United States was
willing to take 25 cents from the an
nual assessment OF each member and
put this amount in the grand lodge
treasury for the building fund. This
was done, and without fairs, bazaars,
or IN any way calling on the public or
levying an extra tax ON the members,
the necessary sum was raised, and in
May the building will be ready for
the purpose for which 1t was intended.
The program of exercises for the
dedicatory ceremonies has not been
completed. but it will include address
es by Governor A. J, Montague Of
Virginia, Senator Daniel Of Virginia,
and many notable Elks from other sec
tions CT the United States.

MIND AND BODY AFFECTED.
Extraordinary Deterioration of Ne
groes Through Lung Diseases.

Extraordinary Deterioration of Ne
groes Through Lung Diseases.
The susceptibility of negroes to con-
sumption has apparently undergone
remarkable change within the last third
of century, and lung diseases have be-
come SO prevalent among them as to
Justify the belief that it may soon be
veritable scourge to the race. During
the days of slavery the disease was so
seldom found among them that they
were considered alomst immune to it.
In fact, some Of the older writers took
the stand squarely and asserted that
consumption was unknown in the race.
From being thus so rare as to be almost
unknown it has in a single generation
become so prevalent and so fatal that
now more negroes in the South are dy-
ing of tuberculosis than of any other
disease. While it exists among all
classes, 1t is in the densely populated
quarters of towns and cities, where
they live in overcrowded and poorly
ventilated houses, that it is found to be
most frequent. In institutions where
large numbers are more or less closely
confined the ravages Of this disease are
becoming truly alarming.
The following quotation from paper
on the Future of the Colored Race in
the United States" published some
years ago by DR.. Eugene Carson, is in
teresting in this connection. He says:
All the information which have been
able to obtain has satisfied me that the
race was healthy one, even healthier,
in the main, than the whites. Since the
war things have been reversed; the col
Ored race as a race is not healthy and
robust one; their vitality Is in a state
of unstable equilibrium; liable from any
undue strain to give away"
Statistics from institutions having both
white and colored patients will show
that the latter Is less able to resist the
onslaught of disease. DR.. Mitchell, the
superintendent of the Mississippi State
Insane Hospital, in his last report says
''There Is one great difference between
the races as regards mortality, and, al
though our treatment, both dietetic anG
medicinal, Is the same, our loss from
deaths among the colored far exceed:
that sustained by the whites"
Turning from the physical condition
of the negro, let us now investigate tht
mental stability of the race. Since 1885,
the negroes Of the South have under
