have had any eczema since.
As to his own case, Mr.. Barnett says I:

tains the proposition that the scarcity
Of islands, peninsulas and bays along

influence on the character of the inhab-

have remained stationary and dormant

THOUSANDS IN WILD PANIC
SIX INCENDiARY FIRES OCCUR
WITHIN SMALL AREA IN
NEW YORK CITY.

New York, Nov. 23.-Six incendiary
fires within an area of half dozen
CITY blocks caused excitement in the
vicinity of Twenty-fourth street and
Eighth avenue early in the day. One
woman was so severely injured thai
she NAV die, hundreds of lives were
endangered and thousands fed to the
streets in fear. The financial loss Is
comparatively small.
The determination of the firebug to
make complete work is illustrated by
the conditions at 235 West Eighteenth
street. This is an apartment house
occupied by twenty-four families
When one of the tenants was aroused
by the odor of burning wood the cor
ridors were filled with sitting smoke
The gas had been turned off at the
meter in the cellar and the frantic
tenants were forced to feel their way
through inky dark rooms and hall
ways. When the firemen reached the
house the fire escapes were crowded
with half-dressed men, women and
children. So closely were they pack
ed on the platforms that 1t was i'm
possible for any of them to make their
way down the iron ladders. All OF
them were taken down by firemen
It was here that the woman, Mrs. Car
hemi. was injured. She fell while try
ing to climb over the fire escape rail
ing and was terribly hurt.

fANY LIVES LOST AS RESULT OF
TERRIFIC HURRICANE ON
THE GREAT LAKES.
IEARLf TWO SCORE REPORTED DEAD
GTORiES OF DISASTER ARE COM
ING IN FROM WIDELY SEPA-
RATED POINTS.

Sandusky, O., Nov. 23.-The barge
Athens, in tow of the steamer Pratt
went down in Lake Erie in the storm
The captain and six men of the crew
were probably drowned.
Captain Mackey Of Milwaukee was
In command of the barge. He has
sailed on the lake for forty years
The Pratt was bound from Escanaba
to Buffalo with iron ore.
The storm struck the vessel when
about twenty miles north of Southeast
shoal, west Of here.
Soon after the storm struck the
vessel the tow line parted. The Pratt
was able to ride the storm, but the
Athens soon foundered.
Captain Mcpherson of the Pratt
says that the sea was running sc
high that he was unable to render
any assistance to the Athens, and the
barge went down about 10 o'clock al
night.
Captain Mcpherson is sure that Cap,
tain Mackey and the members OF the
crew went down with the vessel.
Captain Mcpherson says the storm
was one Of the worst that he has ever
eXpeTienced
