TENEMENT HOUSE
! FIRE CLAIMS a
Nearly a Score More Injured in
Burning Building in New

a% York.

New York, Sept. 5.-Fourteen persons
were killed and nearly score were in
jured in a fire in five-story double ten
ement in Attorney street yesterday
morning.
The dead include four women, one
man and nine children, ranging in age
from three months to twelve years.
Many of the injured were taken to
hospitals and it is thought that several
Of these will die. Among the injured
were five fremen, who were on fourth
floor balcony when it fell with them.
The loss of life was due chiefly to the
fact that alterations were being made
in the tenement building. The base
ment and the first floor, the latter about
six feet above the sidewalk level. had
both been cut thru, the front and rear
walls having been removed and the
upper floors being supported by steel
beams. The exit from the upper floors
was by way of a small step1add der = =.
Twelve families lived in the house
and it is said that the tearing away Of
the lower floor was done so quickly that
certain Of the tenants who wished to
move from the building were unable tc
get their furnituresout and thus they
were compelled to remain,
The work of alteration had necessi
tated the. partial removal Of the fire
escapes, and when the fire began the
panic stricken tenants found fire escapes
that led to the second floor and nc

briefly told. A lady of Springfield, Ill.
says: After being afflicted for years
with nervousness and heart trouble, I
received a shock. four years ago that
left me in such condition that my life
was despaired of. I could get no relief
from doctors nor from the numberless
heart and nerve medicines l tried be-
cause / didn't know that the coffee
was daily putting me back more than
the doctors could put me ahead.
Finally, at the request of a friend,
I left off coffee and began the use of
Postum, and, against my convictions, I
gradually improved in health until for
the past six or eight months I have
been entirely free from nervousness
and those terrible sinking, weakening
spells of heart trouble.
My troubles all came from the use
of coffee, which had drunk from
childhood, and yet they disappeared
when / quit coffee and took up the use
of Postum. - Name given by Postum

Many people marvel at the effects of
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum,
but there is nothing marvellous about
Eit-only common sense.
Coffee is a destroyer is

NO HOPE FOR PEACE
Russia Emphatically Against Any At
tempt at Intervention.

London, Sept. Careful inquiries
in official and diplomatic quarters here
today establish the fact that no hope
prevails Of the termination of the war
at this moment as a result Of the Sc
ries Of victories obtained by the Jap
.anese at Liao-yang. There has been
no interchange Of official views by the
neutral European governments. What
discussion has occurred has been en-
tirely personal and has led to no re-
suits, even to the extent of paving the
way to mediation.
There is no thought of intervention,
the Associated Press has learned, nor
can there be any mediation without the
consent Of both parties, and Russia
it is stated emphatically, does not find
the moment opportune to accept the
good offices of any power. roo
Japan, on the other hand, is known
to more or less discontented with the
present situation, and would be will.

a result Of the arrest of Rev. M. J.
O 'Toole, it's foremost clergyman, upon
an order of the mayor for Violating a
city ordinance by selling Bibles without
a license. AS he has no place Of bust

the law, construes the minister to be a
peddler.
The trouble originated over two evan,
gelists whom the mayor stopped from
selling Bibles. Rev. Mr.. O'Toole took
the mayor to task, and was told what to

The preacher had his fighting clothes

New York Labor Situation sunmar
| ICED on Labor's Own Day

New York, Sept. 5.-Labor Day, 1904,
presents many interesting facts and
conditions both to employers and en-
ployees in New York city, as compared
with the same period year ago, says
the Herald. Within the five months be.
tween April / and Sept. L this year,
losses in wages to workingmen in New
York city from strikes and lockouts
have been more than one-third less than
during the same months last year, and
losses to employers have been CORE
spondingly small.
In all Of the 1904 strikes, except pos
sibly. in the building trades, the out
come has marked a decided step toward
the topen shop, - and in several in
stances the employers have achieved a
decided victory, the striking union men
having returned to work side by side
with non-union employees. This was es-
peeially noted in the strikes Of the ma
rine machinists, the tailors and the
butchers.
In the building trades at the present
time there are only about 10000 men in
enforced idleness. 5
There are 10000 union workmen
skilled and unskilled, in the metropoli.
tan district. At no time during the
season has, the army Of idle exceeded
81, 000.
