~OS FOR WOMEN
WHO CANNOT BE CURED.

Backed up by over third of a century
of remarkable and uniform cures, record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers OF
DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money of the United States, for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness,
Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they
can not cure. All they ask is fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure.
Their financial responsibility IS well
known to every newspaper publisher ana
druggist in the United States. with most
of whom they have done business for over
a third Of century. From this fact It Will
readily be seen how utterly foolish it would
be for them to make the above unprece-
dented and remarkable offer II they were
not basing their offer on cuIauve means ,
having an unparalleled record. No other
medicine than DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription could possibly twin out, as the
saving goes on such proposition. But
thew know whereof they speak. They have
the most remarkable record Of cures made
by this world famed remedy ever placed to
the credit of any preparation especially
des;0ned for the cure of woman's peculiar
ailments. This wonderful remedy, there
fore, stands absolutely alone as the only
one possessed of such remarkable curative
properties as would warrant its makers in
publishing such marvellous onei as IL
above made in the utmost good faith.

fremen.
The top floor Of the building was occupied
until about year ago by printing estab-
hshment, and the grease and oil on the
floors made great food for the flames. Up
to early hour this morning the fire ragged
with as much force as 1t did at the start,
and the many streams Of water which were
played on it by the firemen seemed to help
the blaze along rather than TO check 1t, al
though the firemen said they had the fire
under control at 2 o clock this morning. The
many streams were kept busy playing on
the buildings around the flaming structure,
and several fires were averted by this
means. The walls of the burning building
remained intact, but the roof and several
of the floors fell after the fire had ragged
for about an hour.
The three fire alarms were responded to
by seventeen wagons, nine engines, five
trucks, three chemicals and the water
tower, and twenty streams of water were
thrown constantly on the burning build

the situation well in hand, and no danger
of fire in the adjoining buildings was felt,
although the one fire gave them plenty of
hard work. The work of the firemen in
lighting the flames received many compli-

SCENES AT THE FIRE.
Guests at Nearby Hotels Were Ready
to Pack Their Belongings.


The fire engines had scarcely drawn up
before the burning building when the
streets became filled with excited people
rushing towards the fire. 1t was at a
time of night when the Saturday night
crowds were awaiting the first night "owl,"
and the corners along Washington street
were crowded with men and women, all
of whom ran down Meridian and Illinois
streets and massed on Georgia street OPP
posite the fire, and at the corners of the
streets and alleys where a view of the
flames could be had. West Georgia street
was blocked with engines and hose lines
so that one could not make way through.
back so that the fremen had plenty of
room to fight the flames.
In the Vendome and Stubbins hotels, on
corners of Georgia and Illinois streets, there
was general excitement, caused by probable
ity of the fire spreading. In the Stubbins
House guests, awakened by the cries of fire
and the noise of engines below their win
dows, packed their belongings and hurried
down into the lobby ready to depart. The
hotel people finally got them quieted and
persuaded that there was no real danger
as long as the fire did not creep across the
alley. In the Vendome Hotel OIL the oppo-
site corner, there was the same excitement.
All the occupants were aroused and
the crashes of falling glass on the pave
ment. However. they did not resort to
packing their trunks, and when they dis
covered it was on the opposite side of the
street crowded the windows and verandas
and watched the progress of the flames.
In the buildings adjoining the fire the
Salvage Corps was hard at work. and the
firemen were dragging their hose upon the
roof. Those in the street were standing
ankle deep in water, which streamed down
from the hose pipes.

This necessitates a mighty linen room az
each end of the line whence are supplied
the clean pieces in exchange for the soiled
ones brought ashore at the end of each trip.
1t is estimated that the 40 ships of the In

est aggregation of ocean-going liners in the

On each ship there is one steward whose

which receive equal attention with the 9TH

the blankets being thoroughly washed,
boiled and disinfected, as well as the mat
tress covers. The straw from the latter is
also replaced with new clean straw each
trip. Nevertheless, there is much third-class
linen, for the third-class passengers now
sit at tables covered with white cloths, and
the cooks department uses supplies similar
TO those in the first and second class
Losses of linen on the trip are charged to
the general profit and loss account OF the
ship, and are not accounted to either stew

takes special care of the napkins, which are
most easily lost and the most costly cf the

him for these have TO sign a book for the
amount taken, and this is supposed TO
make them more careful in the handling.
