Imprisoned in India.
After a years service in England
| was sent to open up the work in
India. Our party numbered four Had
we been content to go in orthodox
missionary fashion little notice might
have been taken Of our coming. We
had resolved, however on some revo.
lutionary methods. We adopted the
native costume and customs and de.
termined to openly make ourselves
one with the people.
This created a storm of opposition.
The English papers demanded our i'm.
mediate deportation. The government
was puzzled what cause to pursue. A
circular was issued to the officials
asking under what section of the penal
code we could be dealt with. Finally
we were allowed to land, but open.air
meetings were prohibited as liable to
lead to a breach Of peace At our re.
ception the crowd numbered 20 1000.
The very publicity which the papers
had given to our coming drew vast
numbers wherevel we appeared. We
claimed the same open.air privileges
as were granted to all religious beliefs
under the queens proclamation. My
intimate knowledge Of the Indian laws
proved very useful. But the govern.
ment was firm. Seven times we were
arrested and fined or imprisoned. On
another occasion | was myself sen.

Having appealed to the supreme court

me on condition that promised not
to repeat the offence. replied, my

their decision, which had no reference

On my release we marched again
but took care to be arrested in the
jurisdiction of a magistrate who re-
fused to make himself the tool OF the
government. AS a result our open-air
rights were permanently established

Specimen Fourth of July Accidents.

Specimen Fourth of July Accidents.
Philip Goldberg, thirteen years old,
of Yonkers, n. Y, was instantly killed
early Monday morning, the ramrod from
toy cannon having entered his brain.
The rod, which vas about half inch in
diameter and five inches in length, PEN
etrated at the base of the skull, driving
the boys cap into the wound, only the
peak of the cap and half inch Of the
ramrod protruding. Goldberg, with two
companions, had been out all Sunday
evening celebrating the approach of the
Fourth. About o'clock in the MORN
ing they were on Getty Square, where
James Forbes, sixteen years old, and
several companions were shooting a can
non. Forbes put paper wads into the
cannon and rammed them tight by
pounding the ramrod on the sidewalk.
The rod could not be drawn out and
Forbes announced that he would shoot it
out. Just as Goldberg was about to
cross the street the cannon was discharg-
ed, and Goldberg fell face forward in
front of his friends.
Edward LawtOn, fourteen years old,
also of YCnkers, was shooting off can
non in front OF his home on Monday. 1t
missed fire and exploded just as Lawton
picked it up to see what was wrong. The
charge of powder blew the calf off the
right leg and it is feared that he will
die. His leg caunot be saved, the doc
tors say.
George Mitchell, aged thirteen, of
Port Richmond, S. l., was firing small
cannon Monday and at the same time
was carrying bottle of gunpowder. A
spark caused the powder in the bottle
to explode. Mitchell was burned and
cut about the head and face and his
right eye was torn out. 1t is feared he
will lose the sight of his left eye.
Maximilian Cohen, sixteen years old,
living in New York, and a boy friend
celebrated the Fourth with revolver
and blank cartridges. Max's friend
thought it good plan to load the re-
volver with a nail. "Hold up your
hands, Max !" he cried, as he pulled
the trigger. The nail struck Max be-
tween his eyes and penetrated nearly an
inch into his head. The boy run and
passers.by found Max lying unconscious
1t is not believed he can recover.

The Simplicity
Mosquito Canopy.

The Simplicity Mosquito Canopy frame
is made from the highest grade spring
steel, and we can positively assert that
it is the simplest Of construction and the
most durable of any mosquito canopy on
the market. 1t is easier Of adjustment,
being set on metal beds without clamps
or screws, with no friction to mar or
scratch the bed, and will remain in its
position without any motion when being
used and can be used on any metal bed.
1t is the only frame that has no rights
or lefts to cause confusion. We are
showing the Simplicity Mosquito Canopy
on small model iron bed and invite
your inspection of same. The price OF
this canopy is very reasonable

Snakes Cause Terror.

Rutherford Stuyvesant is building a
macadamized road through the mountain
near Washington, n. j., and the heavy
blasting has caused snakes in the hills to
migrate down into Allamuchy village.
There are rattlers, adders, copperheads
and every known variety of local snake,
great and small, in such numbers that
the little village is almost afraid to ven
ture out oi doors or into its cellars. Every
man, woman and child carries a club, and
the snake stories they tell are wonderful.
Peter Mowry, going osee his "best girl"
the other night, saw five rattlers, killed
all Of them and is making a necklace Of
the ratt les for his lady love- Along the
main street of the village the snakes are
80 numerous after big blast up the hill
that all the storekeepers close up shop
and 90 out for snake-killing bee. All
the churchgoers carried clubs yesterday
morning. They piled them up like cord
woad in the lobby, and each carefully
took his stick when he started for home.
The ministers look upon the invasion
with fear, because some of the young and
middIe-aged men are making themselves
immune against the effects of bites by
taking liberal doses of "rattle-snaSe cure
every time they leave their houses. The
men say snake can't bite if you have
got enough rum in you. The minister
says /; is just as good to hold your breath
when the snake is about to bite, but the
men prefer the other way.

FELL FROM BURNING BALLOON

In burning balloon with parachute
that would not open and release her from
her perilous position, hanging Imply to
her car, Miss Carrie Meyers, 10 years
old, daughter of one of the most promi-
nent residents of Fairfield, Conn.,, fell
400 feet yesterday to what seemed GER
tain death, and then escaped by what ap-
peared miracle. When the hundreds
who saw her plunge headlong down into
tall tree ran to her, they were surprised
to find that the girl was suffering only
from external bruises and the shock.
Ballooning is fad with Miss Meyers.
Her father has ample means to permit
her to indulge in her whim, and since
she returned from the West short time
ago. where she bad seen an inventor ex-
perimenting with an airship, she has
been an enthusiast on the subject OF
aerial navigation. A few weeks ago 1t
was decided TO give an entertainment for
charity and Miss Meyers volunteered
her first public ascent in a bal loon as
her share of the programme.
She appeared cool and self-possessed
when she stepped into the car, and after
the big bag had been filled with gas the
ropes which held it to the ground were
severed, and in moment she was high
in the air. AS the car rose some one in
the crowd shouted: ats on fire !"
In some way a spark had caught in the
oiled sides of the balloon, and, as the
wind famed it to a blaze, it 'orked
steadily downward towards Miss Meyers
in the car. She heard tte cries Of the
horrorstricken crowd and did not know
the big bag was on fire until the flames
almost reached the car in which she sat.
Then those below saw her lean over and
attempt to release the parachute. But
she could not bulge it, and when she
had risen 400 feet in the air the balloon
started to fall mass of flames. 1t shot
down like bullet until it struck the
tree. The branches broke her fall, and
those who ran to her aid found her lying
unconscious on the ground.

Mr.. ]. W. Turner, of Truhart, Va,
says that Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets have done him more good
than anything he could get from the
doctor. If any physician in this country
was able to compound medicine that
would produce such gratifying results
in cases of stomach tronbles, biliousness
or constipation, his whole time would
be used in preparing this one medicine.
