BY FALLING WALLS
Firemen Were Caught and Two
Were killed.

Were Killed.
Hudson, Mass, Feb. 4.-Two firemen
were killed and four others seriously
injured by falling walls during the fire
which destroyed the parish hall of the
st. Michaers Society tonight. The
dead:
Timothy Sullivan, aged 30, ladder
man; Gus Russell, 45 years old, pipe
man.
The injured: George Shortsleeper,
Edward Fesonette, James Ryan,
Charles Baker.
All were cut by glass, burned and
bruised.
The fire, when discovered, had gain
ed such Roadway that the firemen
found it would be impossible to save
the structure. Accordingly they bent
their energies to the protection of St.
MichaePs Church and the rectory, both
adjoining. The parish hall was for
merly the society's church. The fire
men climbed to the steeple of the
church, and from it as a point of
vantage, unheeding the flames in the
main part, were pouring water upon
the threatened property. The roof un-
expectedly fell in, carrying the steeple
with it and forcing the walls outward
and down upon the firemen, who were
below.
The property loss was $4,000.

TROUBLE WAS FEARED
From Waterbury Laborers Because
1t Was Pay Day


Waterbury, Conn, Feb. 4.-Stormy
weather and extra precaution on the
part of the authorities carried Water
bury through the dangerous hours of
the night without the serious trouble
that was confidently expected to mark
and mar this pay day night.
The day brought no violence; the
night but little. Almost as the cars
were on their last trips there occurred
a slight riot, and soldiers are authority
for the statement that guns were fired.
The record of actual damage. however.
was better than that of the previous
nights OF this week. Twice there were
instances of missile throwing and car
windows suffered.
The feature of the day was the ar
rival of sheriff's posse of thirty dep
utles, most of whom were employed in
riding in pairs on passengerless troll
ley cars. The systematic patrol of the
city by police and militia was much
more effective tonight than before, and
when the hour of midnight arrived il
looked as if the militia protection af-
forded was adequate.
Not the least important factor, per-
maps, in the interests of the order was
the sincere efforts put forth by the
StIlheFS 10 keep their friends from the
streets. The day and night records re-
vealed the fact that Waterbury had
been over-fearful, and the situation at
the beginning of another day promises
improvement.
The military headquarters were
equipped with a telephone system
reaching out to every important point
in the strike territory. The Signal
Corps put into place powerful search
lights at the car barns and power
house and similar apparatus in a tall
building on South Main street, near
headquarters, thus making possible,
through the corps, communication by
light signals and removing some Of the
handicaps imposed by darkness.
The strikers daily statement, issued
this afternoon, had for it's feature a
plea addressed to their friends. 1t
urged workingmen in doing their usual
Wednesday night shopping to return
to homes without lettering on the
streets.

COMBES EXPLAINED
What He Intended to Say About the
Schools.

Schools.
Paris, Feb. 4.-During to-day's dis
cussion of the budget of public instruc-
ton in the Chamber of Deputies Pre-
mier Combes took occasion to explain
a speech he delivered last week dur
ing the debate on the public worship
budget, which has attracted consider
able notice in the opposition press, it
having been said to be a negation of
the ministerial policy regarding the
schools conducted by religious congre-
cations.
NJ. Combes said to-day he never as
serted nor thought that the
moral instruction given in the
lay schools did not suffice
but merely remarked that it
should be based on Christian morality
He had always praised the Republi-
can government he continued, for hav-
ing based public instruction on rea-
son. Republican morality was all the
more noble because it was based on
the eternal ideas of justice, right and
duty. What he wished to say the other
day was that the primary schools
taught the same moral ideas as the
religious schools.
NJ. Combes' explanation was much
applauded.

His Condition.
New York, Feb. A deputy sheriff
reported to Justice Herrick to-day that

when it was decided that the prisoner
should be examined by two physicians,
one to be selected by the district attor-
ney and one by counsel for the defense.

the room.

ing the recess and reported to Justice
Herrick in his private room that the
stress of the trial would not hurt the
accused physically. Young was there
fore carried into court and the exam
inatiOn of the taleSmen com nnenced
Counsel for the prisoner asked the first
few talesman if they had any prejudice
against the Mormon church, but de-
sisted when District Attorney Jerome

claim

HIDDEN AWAY.
A Discovery Worth While.

It startles one when he comes to
know absolutely that wrong selection
of food is the direct cause of the weak
eyes, kidney trouble, dyspepsia or
whatever may be the form disease
takes, and that right food will work a
natural cure. But it is easy to prove
by actual test. The following is an
example:
Five months ago 1 was in despair.
not knowing the cause of my desper-
ate condition. 1 had run down to los
pounds and suffered from chronic
sore throat, sore eyes, and what was
hardest to bear an awful nervousness
and hysteria which at times almost
ran into insanity.
FINALLY a large swelling appeared
in the throat and I feared cancer. The
nerv BUSINESS got worse, and when /
found I could stand it no longer and
no medicine I could take would cure
me, l concluded to take the advice of
the Postum Cereal Company and
change diet My stomach pever hurt
me- so I thought that was all right
anyhow. But I learned a thing or
two.
"Well, I quit tea and coffee entirely
and began eating Grape-Nuts three
times a day. I began to improve and
get well. What a relief. My sore eyes,
throat trouble and terrible nervousness
gradually left and 1 have gained %
pounds in weight. 1t proved to be a hid
den stomach trouble that did not show
except in other parts of the body, but
the real trouble came from, the stom-
ach, and so when the right food like
Grape Nuts was given TO the stomach,
1t quickly got well and made good
blood that cured the other ails." Name
furnished upon application to the Pos
tum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
People don't realize the great truth
that the stomach and the food are re-
sponsible in most all cases for mans
happiness or distress.
Nothing is more sure than for people
to improve in health If they VIII
change the diet and use Graps-Nuts
three times a day,
