MT Kenney has actually escaped
 from the paralytic's fate to which he seemed short time since hOpeleSSly doomed. The surprising report has
 been fully verified and some important
 details secured in personal interview
 with the recent sufferer.
 | '"The doctor, said MT Kenney, "told
 me that if wanted to live any length
 of time l would have to give up work
 the paralysis which had begun would
 in time involve my whole body" "Just how were you afflicted at this time?" MT Kenney was asked.
 Well, I had first hot, and then cold
 and clammy feelings, and at times my
 body felt as if needles were being stuck into it. These sensations were followed by terrible pains, and again 1 would have no feeling at all but numbness would come over me, and would not be able to move. The most agonizing torture camel from headaches and a pain in the region of my spine"
 Were you able to sleep?"
 "No. That was one of the worst l could not get any natural sleep and my system was wrecked by the strain of the torturing pains and the effect of the OpiateS was forced to take to in- duce sleep. As look back on the ter r1ble suffering I endured during this period l often wonder how l retained nay reason through it all.'
 Have you got rid of all these troubles?"
 "Yes, indeed, I am entirely rid of them, and am daily working at my trade as hat tinisher, but relief came from an unexpected quarter. My help came from Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. 1 read one day in paper an account of case like mine which had been cured by these wonderful pills for the blood and nerves. l bought a box and began to take them. The very first box seemed to help me, and seven boxes made me entirely we'll. There can be no doubt about the thor Oughness of my cure. for have worked steadily ever since and that is nearly four years"
 MT Kenney is at present employed by the Merrimac Hat Company and re- sides at 1Ol Aubin street, Amesbury, Mass. The remedy which he used l with such satisfactory results is sold | by all druggists throughout the world, 1 and Is offered as a specific for all nerv l ouS troubles. Dr Williams Pink Pills | have cured neuralgia, nervous prOstra- | tion, St Vitus' dance, partial paralysis | and lOcOmOtOr ataXia, as well as con- l mon ailments such as headaches, in- SOmnia and debility.

SUFFOCATED AT a FIRE.
Four Persons Lose Lives In a New
York Tenement House.

New York, Oct l9.-Four persons
we're suffoCated and 10 were overcome
by smoke IN a fire which gutted a five.
story brick double tenement house at
l5 Moore street, Williamsburg, early
today. Two of the injured. a boy and
a girl, pre- badly will die. Incendiarism
is suspected.
The fire originated in the basement
and ran up dumb waiter shaft caus-
ing Il Q crowded flats to fiji rapidly
with smoke. The flames spread
through the flats on the fourth and
fifth floors, and escape for the persons
asleep there was cut off, Firemen and
police did heroic work and soon rescued
more than score, l5 of whom were
almost suffocated. These we're removed
to st. Catherine's hospital. Two chill.
dren among the number were in a dy-
ing condition.
One fireman In attempting a daring
rescue was overcome by smoke AMI had
to be carried out by his fellows.
The loss was only about $4,000.
Several fires occurred in the neighl or.
hood during the early hours today, all
OF suspicious origin. They appeared to
have been started by the same hand as
all were discovered in the placements Of
tenements. Only the one noted, how.
ever, was accompanied by loss OF life.

JOY IN RUSSIA.
Army Is Said to Have Assumed
the Offensive,

a St. Petersburg, Oct. 20-There is
jubilation throughout the city over the
news that General Kuropatkin has re-
sumed the offensive, and the holiday
which began with little heart closed
brighter. The crowds in the streets
and the illuminations in honor Of the
czareyitch's nameday gave tinge of
brilliancy TO an evening otherwise de-
pressing, through constant diizzle OF
rain. Newsbcys up to midnight raced
through the thoroughiares with evening
extras, shouting "Great Russian vic
tory" and the crowds bought the pa
pers greedily. Groups Of men in bril-
liant uniforms, or in evening dress at
the hotels and restaurants, discussed
the change in the fortunes of war, but,
as a whole, the population was slow to
take fire. News of the earlier reverses
had been received stolidly, and the re-
ports of Russian successes and the cap.
ture Of guns were quietly accepted with
satisfaction, but with considerable re-
serve.
The emperor marked the day by ap-
pointing his youthful heir chiei of the
cadet corps, and by ukase pensioning
the survivors, widows and orphans Of
the Turkish Russian war and promoting
all the retired captains Of the Turkish
Russian war to the rank of lieutenants

EARNESTLY DESIRE PEACE.
Japanese Shocked at Victory Won
with Such Shedding OF Blood.

Toxic, Oct. l9.-There is a strong
appeal Tor peace in the appalling trag.
edy which Is now under enactment In
Manchuria. Both armies have fought
lerociously for week, and desperate
fighting still continues. 1t Ia probable
that the death roll will be largely In.
creased before the final shot is fired.
The preliminary reports indicate thai
about 90, 900 men on both sides havr
been either killed or wounded, the
larger portion Of them being Russians,
since the armies OF the two belligerents
closed in combat.
Even the japanese, TO whom the
great victory is of paramount import
ance, seem to be shocked by the slaught
er of their enemies. The Japanese peo-
Pile are receiving the news from the
field of battle calmly, and there can be
heard no shouts in the streets pro-
claiming the victory OF their ration.
Few flags are displayed. Probably
later on there will be a procession with
the consequent jollifcation, but there
are heard many expressions OF opinion
that no demonstration OF any kind
could be held, A prominent japanese
said to the Associated Press irespon-
dent tonight;
"We have won sweeping and de-
cisive victory which may prove to be
the salvation Of our country's exist
ence, but we regret both our own losses
and the terrible slaughter which our
forces have inflicted on the enemy.
We regret still more the necessity
which forced us to engage in this war. /"
