Gen. Sickles Declares War Was Or. dained by God and We Will
 Always Have It.

The cornerstone of a monument to be erected in Salem Fields cemetery. Cypress Hills, L. l., in honor of Jews who lost their lives in defense of the union was laid recently. Nathan Straus. chairman of the auxiliary committee of the Hebrew Union Veteran association. presided, In the course of his remarks MT. Straus referred to "A time when war will be reckoned survival of bar barism." This brought protest from Mai. Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, retired. who lost a leg at Gettysburg
 Although we are assembled in | cemetery" said Gen. Sickles. "this Is not funeral occasion. No death ia more glorious than death for ones country. know many think that wars are dreadful. but we have had our wars since the world began, and we shall always have wars. In the provi- dence of God war was ordained. and the human race will always fight for what it loves This nation was found ~ed through war Would George III. have agreed to arbitration to let us found an independent government? No We have liberty because our fathers fought seven years for independence. and we will always have to fight to maintain our freedom.
 'I hope the time will never come when we shall cease to be a martial people, or be unwilling to take up al ms in defense of our country. In the day we are unwilling to fight for our lib critics we shall surely lose the respect of the world"

FRIGHT. RESTORES SPEECH
Flames in Room of Dumb and Pa1. alyxed Man So Scare Him
 That He Begins to Talk.

Thomas Herring, . dumb and pafs alyzed old man living with his son-in. law, E. Moss, in London, was so ovsr- come with fright when a fire broke out in his bedroom recently that he sud- denly began to speak.
 Herring, who is n years old. was . robust man, and up to short time ago was enjoying good health, even work. ing at a small blacksmith's forge. One day he suffered a stroke of paralysis. which also left him speeches..
 The other evening two men rushed in shouting that one of the upper rooms was on fire. Running up stairs to the chamber of his father-in-law Moss saw that the window curtains were ablaze and the woodwork was alight- The wind had blown open the window and this had knocked over . lamp, causing the fire
 The paralyzed man lay on the bed helpless. unable to stir hand or foot or raise cry of alarm. The agonized look on his face showed, however, that he realized the terrible nature of his POokIAOus u0 AdM06 WSlo oAoIuOhOA before they had made much progress, and the patient escaped unhurt.
 Shortly after the family were sur- prised to hear the voice of the par alyzed father. He was able to speak distinctly few words and his speech was coherent The next days his pow CTS of speech were still further restored and he regained the complete use of his voice and was able easily to converse with the family.
 The restoration of the lost faculty was evidently the outcome of the shock which his system experienced on the outbreak of the fire.
 Although the paralysis of the limbs remains, MT. Herring's health has im- proved so much that he has been re- moved from the house to a hospital. where 1t Is the opinion that he may live long time.

MOST POPULAR NuMsa ks.
Seven and Thirteen Arc Fixed Upon in the Minds of the Greatsx
 Number of Men.

"Ask . man to pick out some mum, Der between one and ten. and you can tell him nine times out of ten what number he has selected. though his ss- lection is made mentally" said . man who. according to the New Orleans Times s-Democrat, Is fond of the old things. "snd when you como to think of it. the task of naming the correct number Is not . difficult one. In the course of an hour the other day 1 asked ten men to think of . certain numbsr-any number between one and ten-and would tell them what num- ber they had dEsd their mind on. fin nine cases out of ten was correct, missing 1t only once. The minds oi nine of the persons selected the num- Der seven. and one of them selected nine. It is not difficult to understand why the mind should run to the num- Der seven Even in the case of ths man who fixed his mind on the num- Der nine. he told me when 1t was all over that his mind had first run to seven. but he quickly changed to ninc without knowing just why 1t was that he changed. Seven is the most prom inent figure between one and ten. It . the most popular number in the line, and is associated with more things than any other number. and 1t is quits reasonable that the mind should light on seven. made another test the other day with five persons. asking each of them to write some number between one and ten, and give it to sixth per- son. When the slips had been handed to the sixth man I said: Seven is the number on each of the slips
 "'Correct," said the man to whom they had been handed, and the 6ve men were a bit bewildered for the moment by the fact that they had all llit upon the same number. and that was able to tell what the number was. It would be quite as easy to name a number between 10 and 20. though have made no tests along this line. dare say that 13 would be the first number to flash In the mind, simply because 1t Is the most talked of, and the only number between 10 and 20 that has the widest association. So you can tell there is no trick about it. and 1t doesn't require any knowledge of the occult philosophies."

Prevent
 As We'll As Cure Headache

If subject to headache, take Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills when you feel the first indication of an attack, and you will find that they rarely ever fail to stop further progress.
 Pain weakens the nerves, and the longer you suffer, the more frequent will be the attacks.
 On the contrary, if the nerves are relieved of this weakening influence, the at tacks will be less frequent, and finally disappear altogether.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills contain no opium, cocaine, tAor- phine or chloral in any form. They are absolutely harmless if taken as directed, and will have no other effect, except to drive out the pain.
 .'Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills are all right. and l can recommend tnem 10 ache, R m neuraigia, or pain of any ny kind; d; My health is not very good. ana m ara | am headache. but since I began taking Dr. Niles Anti-Pain, Pills l do not suffer from that trouble as l used to: They never fail to give relief in rev t,S minutes, and if taken promptly on the approach of headache will prevent . an attack from coming on...

Now, that father and mother
think they are being kind to the

That sort of kindness is a curse for
those for whom it Is nominally ex-

can do nothing of use In the house;

sire is to have good time, without
doing preliminary work thaJ will

meagre. A press telegram of Tues

An Eyewitness Tells Of Some Of the
Narrowing scenes About the
Wreck.
ABANDoNs THE is-HoUR TRAIN.

Cleveland. o., June 2S.-It is
probable that the investigation will
develop that a boy IA years of age
meddled with the switch az Mentor
and caused the wreck of the TWEEN
tieth Century flyer. William Usher,
ticket agent of Nickle Plate, and Jas.
Barnes. OF Willoughby. were on the
scene twenty minutes after the wreck
happened. On the way they met a
boy carrying lantern. They ques-
toned him and he said he had been
down to shut switch. They ques-
toned him further thinking II posi-
BILE that the boy had tempered with
the switch, but the boy insisted that
he had shut the switch. The men
went to the scene of the wreck and
found the switch open but locked.
They are of the opinion that the boy
thought there was a freight ahead OF
the flyer and opened the switch to
let It through to take the siding. and
that he meant to open the switch in
stead of closing 1t.
II. s. Storrs. general superintend-
ent of the Lake Shore, said the mat
ter would be investigated. although
he is inclined to doubt the story that
a boy had possession of key and
could turn the switch.
