Residence Burned.
Hon. II. |. Herrn's Home
Burned to the Ground
Tuesday.

About 8 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing Hon. T. |. Herrn's residence
in this city was discovered to be
on fire, and although the alarm
was quickly given and a large
number of citizens responded
promptly, the building was totally
destroyed, together with a large
portion of its contents. However,
many things of value, including
a fine piano, were saved. The
fire originated from a defective
flue, and spread rapidly. All
hopes Of saving the building were
soon given up, and all attention
was turned to saving as much OF
the contents as possible.
The Herrn home was one of the
handsomest, most convenient and
nicely furnished in the town.
The loss amounts to something
like 81, 600, with no insurance.

Uses of Alcohol.
From the Baltimore Sun.


The medicinal value Of alcohol is still a
matter Of discussion among experts. There
are few diseases, 1t is said. in which 1t has
value. DR.. Barr, in the British Medical
Journal, holds that even in pneumonia and
typhoid fever-the two diseases In which
alcohol Is still generally considered to be
irdispensable-its real therapeutic value is
quite limited. In the former disease its
chief and perhaps its only use Is as
soporific. while in typhoid 1t is said to be
stimulating effects of alcohol, 1t is con-
tended, deceptive, being merely the
results of the weakening of the normal
restraints The large bounding pulse, for
instance, is not due to more vigor, but to
a vasomotor paralysis with dlation of ar
terioles and lessened systolic pressure. The
Increased flow of ideas is likewise a dis
orderly outpouring due to paralysis of nor
NAL control. and 1t is a wise provision
that reporters are not admitted to hea-
the usual after-dinner speech--it does NOT
look we'll in print
1.-The true use of alcohol" says American
Medicine, lis as a sedative, and in dilute
form as an aid in digestion, or, In the case
of the effervescing wines, TO Increased

products "As food" says American
Medicine. minute, frequent doses must be
of value when it Is desired to relieve the
system of the expense of digesting higher
compounds, and when, through asthenia
II is unable to do this. though II Is quite
evident that as usually given in large doses
at irfrequent intervals alcohol is poisonous"
All of which emphasizes the ancient apo
thegm that there are as many men of many
nil ds there are many birds of many

PLAYS TUNES ON HIS ToNsILS.
Man With a Strange Gift Has a Whole
Orchestra in His Throat.

From the Seattle Post Intelligencer
Out in southeast Seattle, where Franklin
John Gator lives, he is known as ''the man
with the tuneful tonsils.'' Something like
the good old lady who had rings on her
fingers and bells on her toes, Gator has vio-
Inns and clarinets and things like that in his
throat and-he always has music wherever
he goes.
Gators ventriloquial gift, or aftiiction
whichever 1t Is. has always been with him
that is, since he began to talk. Gator HIM
self says it's an affliction. 1t once cost him
his job, and In his kid period it nearly drove
his parents to insanity. In the days of his
youth 1t was his happy habit to send dear
old father down into the back yard at mid
night to look for noisy cats that were not
there, or drive his mother frantic with un-
earthly walls for help from the cellar.
Gator Is d born ventriloquist, and in
the thirty-odd years of his life he has de-
veloped his natural powers to a truly won
derful extent. Not only does he throw his
voice to any point within earshot but, with
his lips tightly closed, he initiates with mar
velous accuracy the tones of the violin, the
blare of the cornet. the shrill pipe of the
clarinet, the boom of the bass horn and the
tones of half dozen other musical instru-
ments. And, as with ordinary speech, he
has the power to project these sounds where
he will losing none of their harmony ac-
curacy. A band in his throat"-thats
what the doctors and throat specialists call
1t, and they have told Gator that such an
extraordinary arrangement of the vocal
chords as is his is indeed.
1T cost me my job once, and I tried to
quit" said Mr.. Gator day or so ago. II

Con- In Cleveland. and one night l was
bowling along under a slow bell when the

you'll kill me- came from the wheels. and
an old lady l hadn't noticed let out a real
Shrek and tainted dead away. The boys
got to talking about 1t, and in few days
the super got hold of the story. He called
me in to the front Office and told me l was
too good to be working for the company,
and he was going to give me a chance to
get away and look for work with a side
show He gave ii &c me all right
