 The announcer said that 1t had reached the ears of the management that courtesies extended the Commer- cial and Industrial Association of Montgomery had been abused and that bought tickets from the Association which had not been honored at the gate they were to know that the manage ment of the show was not responsible for their inconvenience.
 Naturally, this announcement caused much surprise. It reached Secretary l.. L. Gilbert of the Commercial and Industrial Association. who was in his office down town and he hastened to Oak Park to see General Manager Lewis, reaching there after the per formance was over.
 A hurried investigation followed with the result that the General Manager furnished the following signed state ment:
 "A statement was made by my an- nouncer at this evenings performance with reference to the school children's free tickets which conveyed the i'm pression that these tickets had been sold by the Commercial and Industrial Association, to which body these tick cts were given.
 The announcement was made be- cause a number of the holders of same stated when they presented them at the gate that they had been purchased
 An investigation shows that no tickets were sold by the Association referred to and much regret that the announcement, which may cause any one to feel that such was the case, has been made. A W. Lewis,

DR.. w. g. Grace, the most famous
cricketer in England, probably has
given his autograph as often as any
other celebrity. At a match not long
ago he wrote his name in the note

weeks later, much to his surprise, the
same little lady shyly sided up to
him with the necessary documents
and the request for his autograph.
"But I gave It you only a few days
ago." laughingly said the veteran.
"Oh," came the answer, 81 changed

The immediate causes Of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In an@mia the blood
Is soanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way In
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria aud the grip, the poison
In the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood In the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women In particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
aches caused by an@mia.

utes no less sincere than the grief of

But the most impressive body of
mourners was the fifty-two men from

there were hundreds of civilians who
brought their offerings of flowers to
lay upon the graves.
Besides those buried at San Diego
there are eleven more bodies in the

disasters as are common among pas
senger and merchant vessels.
The story of shipwreck and disas.
ter to the American navy is a short
one. The Fulton, our first steam war
vessel, was destroyed by an explosion
of the magazine and twenty-six lives
were lost. The brig Somers was sunk
by squall Dec. 3, 1916. and forty-one
lives were lost. The sloop of war
Huron was wrecked on the coast Of
North Carolina Nov. "a, 1877, and 100
lives were lost.
On the evening Of Jan. "a, 1870, the
Oneida, steaming out of the harbor OF
Yokohama, Japan, homeward bound,
after a three years cruise. was run
down by the British passenger steam
err Bombay and sank In fifteen min.
utes. Twenty-Five officers and ninety
five men were lost. March 10, 1889,
the Trenton and Vandalia were wreck
ed and the Nipsic stranded in a storm
at Apia, Samoan islands, and fifty-one
lives were lost. On Feb. 2, 1894, the
Kearsarge was wrecked on Roncador
reef, but no lives were lost.
Aside from the vessels lost In the
arctic seas, this makes up our list Of
naval disasters down to the time of
the destruction of the Maine in Ha-
vana harbor, which was an act of war.
Other of our naval vessels had thrill
ing experiences in storms, but without
great loss of life.
For example, while anchored off
Fredericksted, on the island of St.
Croix, Nov. IS, 1867, the Monongahela

Accident Seen from Shore.

Broken and blackened, with her flag
flying at half mast, her hold filed with
fifteen feet of water, the United States
gunboat Bennington lies beached on
the shores of San Diego harbor.
Sixty of her crew lay dead at city
morgues, the fate of a dozen more is
as yet undetermined, and three score
are stretched upon beds of pain in
various hospitals.
This is the result of the explosion
which wrecked the trim little naval
craft and wrought such terrible havoc
among her crew of 1872 officers and
men at 1910 o'clock on the morning
of July 81.
The Bennington at the time of the
accident was lying in the stream just
off the commercial wharf at the foot of
H street. The warship had received
orders from the Navy department at
Washington to sail for Port Hartford,
where she was to meet the monitor
Wyoming and convoy the vessel to
Mare island navy yard Steam was up
and everything was in readiness for
sailing when suddenly and without any
warning whatever the starboard for
ward boiler exploded with a deafening
roar.
The explosion was terrific. People
standing on the shore saw a huge
cloud of white steam rise above the
Bennington. Columns of water were
hurled into the air and for a distance
OF nearly twice the height of the spars
Of the vessel.
