A DeAiEniaE Doctor.

The Sydney Bulletin tells of a mo tOriug doctor who ran Into and cap sized q pedestrian. He looked behind him and, seeing the man still promo, made a circuit and ran back, intending to stop beside and help him. But the motor shot a yard or two beyond the mark and hit the man again just as he was getting up. The doctor turned his car once more and was cautiously stealing near to the prostrate sufferer when an excited spectator rushed from the sidewalk and, shaking the victim, exclaimed: Look out! He's coming at you agalng Whereupon the man scrambled up and started to run.

Opera Glasses Help the Ears as We'll
 as the Eyes.
 Hurry them along, please" said the woman customer as she left a pair of opera glasses for repairs at a Chest nut street store. T cant hear well at the theater without them"
 Another customer who was waiting smiled when the woman left at her ap- parent mistake. She meant she could not see, he observed.
 No" reJolned the opticlan; "she meant just what she said. Opera glasses are an aid to hearing as well as to sight. You can prove 1t any time you are seated well toward the rear In a theater by training the glasses on a singer. AS long as you keep the singer under scrutiny with the glasses you will be able to follow the words of the song with ease. Drop the glasses and you will notice a difference. It will require more or less Of strain to catch the enunciatlon distinctly.
 By the use of opera glasses a the ater patron Is enabled to note distinct ly every movement of a singers lips and the unconscious lip reading great ly aids the sense of hearing. If you ever attend a public meeting where 1t Is impossible to get close to the speak CTS provide yourself with opera glasses, and you will be surprised how greatly they will aid you lu hearing. ."-Phlla- delphla Record.

 A traveller In Egypt writes: With all Its heat and dust the desert has its charms. True. the desert dust Is m aftliCtiou, for when certain evil winds blow the desert Is shrOuded in dust vast swirling clouds through which no eye can see. But when the dust storms have blown over and the desert is calm again you forget the dust for the desert dust is dusty dust. but not dirty dust. Compared with the aw- ful organic dust of New York, Lon don or Paris 1t Is inorganic and pure.

TWO KILLED IN A
TENEMENT WRECK
COLLAPSE OF CONDEMNED
BUILDING IN NEW YORK.
One CT the Victims Passing Along
the Street When the Build
ing Fell.

New York, Sept. 1.-Two persons, a
man and a girl, where instantly killed,
a dozen hurt and four or five others
buried by the collapse of an old tene-
ment at the corner of Grand and Mott
streets late this afternoon. Firemen
worked like Trojans on the debris to
rescue persons buried, and at late
hour it was said everybody had been
accounted for.
The building department had just
sent an emergency crew to shore up
the building, and they had only got
their ladders in place when the build
ing fell. There were several tenants In
the building, although they had been
ordered out, and in a restaurant kept
by Eugenio Quattrucci on the ground
floor, there were several patrons, be-
sides the proprietor and employees.
One of those killed, a 12-year-old
girl, was passing the building at the
time it fell. A boy and girl who were
also passing were badly injured, and it
is feared the girl will die. The girl re-
ceived depressed fracture of the skull
and the boy had both arms broken.
Coroner Scholer, who arrived soon
after the accident, ordered the arrest
Of Thomas German, foreman of the
wrecking crew of the building depart
ment, and Borough President Ahearn,
who hurried post haste in an automo-
bile, ordered all the tenants out of the
building adjoining, No. 200 Grand st.
1t is said that the building, which is
owned by the Turnbull estate, was con-
demned two years ago.

MASS MEETINGS
Everywhere Condemn Acton Of Jap.
ans Peace ENJOYS.

Kobe, Japan, Sept. S-Not in tie
history Of all Japan has there been
so widespread disturbances as at pres
ent. Mass meetings have been ar
ranged in every city of the Nippon
kingdom to condemn the failure of
Japan's representatives to uphold the
dignity and honor of the nation. All
that has been asked heretofore is that
there shall not be another Japan
Chinese fiasco, such as happened in
the last war; but it is certain that the
representatives of the mikado failed
to carry out their own instructions.
Every building has been barricaded
here, but the mobs have burned the
Christian churches the missionary
houses and the foreign warehouses.
The feeling against the present gov.
eminent is so strong that there will b..
no possibility of condoning it unless
the Portsmouth treaty is repudiated
by the mikado.

WERE OUTWITTED
Says DR.. sakaeami, a Japanese Trav.
cling in America.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 7.-Dr. Y.
Sakagami, a native japanese graduate
of Oxford and distinguished as a lin
guist, lecturer and traveller, was in this
city today, and when asked for his
opinion concerning the cause of the
Toxic troubles, said: The stoning of
Marquis Ito in the streets of Toxic and
the general trouble there following the
peace treaty is not because of any dis
appointment over indemnity. 1t is the
result, largely, of the displeasure Of
the people at the failure of Japan's
commissioners in diplomatic tactics.
Witte, Russia's peace conference repre-
sentative, outwitted the japanese in
many respects. 1t is hard for a Japa-
nese to say this, but that is true and
this is the first cause for the displeas-
ure against Marquis Ito, who, as head
of the privy council, appointed Baron
Komura as Japan's representative of
the peace conference. In 1894 Ito
showed himself to be a failure as a
diplomat in his peace arrangements
with China. Then we lost Port Arthur
and holdings in Korea. His appoint
ment of another man in this instance
who also proved failure as diplomat
has melted public sentiment against
him"

LESSONS GIVEN

IN TESTIMONY OF PROMINENT

How They Made Money Out Of Stock

Salaries.

New York, Sept. 7.-Lessons in high
finance were given the public in the
testimony of prominent officers of the
Equitable and Mutual Life Insurance
companies during the legislative IN.
vestigation today. The Equitable IN
QUESTION brought out many new facts,
among them evidence showing the
care which Thomas F. Ryan took to
clinch bargain he made with Jane s
Hazen Hyde last June for control Of
the Equitable. From one of the num-
erous agreements executed between
the men it became known that Hyde
has even changed his will to protect
Ryan in the purchase, nd had agreed
10 refund the $2,500,000 paid for his
stock and to pay resulting damages
Ii he failed to carry out his agree
mCnt
The Mutual probing was no less in
teresting. Frederick Cromwell, treas.
urer of that company was on the
stand for several hours and he told
the committee how the Mutual made
money out of owning stock in trust
companies, and in participating in
underwriting syndicates for the float
ing of millions of dollars worth OF
bonds. He testified that the Mutual
owned large interests, mostly con.
trolling ones, in the Guaranty Trust
Co., the Morton Trust Co, the United
States & Mortgage Trust Co., and 9th.
er concerns Of the kind. The Mutual
deposited millions with these compa-

and in return got dividends Of Is and

RIOTERS ARRESTED.

From noon on Wednesday until 6
o'clock Thursday night the police ar
rested 800 rioters, but they were all re-

attempt a rescue, and the authorities

could be helped
Details of the attack on the minister
of the interiors house show that the
mob leaders carried burning straw to
the rear, and, after forcing an entrance,
set fire to the structure. The members
of the minister's household were res

at them and deluged them with stones.
The firemen saved the better part of

of a Revolution-News From
BaI<u Is Serious.

St. Petersburg, Sept. S.-The upris.

that has not only surprised but has
paralyzed the entire existing Russian
government. While it has been known
that the Tartars felt that they had
grievances 1t has generally been under

entirely condoned so soon as the new
governor of the district had had an
opportunity to explain the concessions

Tartars are apparently having all the
better OF it.

and the city itself is only being saved

troops. No quarter has been asked
or given and the suburbs of Baku have
been completely destroyed. The flames
