TORTURED BY
 ITCHING ECZEMA
Suffered Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body Scratched Until BIed Worse at Night, With Soreness and Excrueiating Pains "A Western Lady's
WONDERFUL CURE BY
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Last year at this time I suffered with a tremendous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, un- til it spread over the whole body, and only my face and hands were free. For four months or so 1 suffered the torments of the damned, and 1 had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until l bled. At night when 1 went to bed things got worse, and I had at times to get up and scratch my body all over, until I was as sore as could be, and until I suffered excruciating pains. 1 did not know what it was, and resorted to number of blood purifiers, using at times also Cuticura Soap. They told me then that 1 was suffering from eczema. Then 1 made up my mind that 1 would also use Cuticura Oint- ment and Cuticura Resolvent I used them according to instructions, and vefy soon indeed I was greatly relieved. I continued until we'll, and now I am ready to recommend the Cuticura Rem edies to any one who suffers as did your obedient servant. Mrs. Mary Metzger, Sweetwater, Okla, June 2S, 1905."

AMERICANS SHOULD
 TRY TO SELL COAL
OUT OF 1o,512,92o TONS OF COAL IMPORTED BY FRANCE LAST YEAR THE UNITED STATES SENT BUT 64eo TONS.

Washington. April 2O.-(special. )-Con- sul Goldschmidt believes that the prln- cipal reason for the absence of American coal from French markets Is the lack of interest on the part of American coal producers He writes from Nantes giv- ing the following valuable coal statistics relating to France:
 There was imported during 1905 into France 10,512, 920 tons of coal, valued at s344s624 24, one-half from England and one-third from Belgium the United States was represented by only 6i6O tons. Ger many sold to France only about s per cent of her coal purchases. but led in supplying the coke furnishing G6 per cent of the 1.632,710 tons purchased at a total cost of $5.672,077. France drew the balance of her coke imports from Belgium, as well as nost of the 399,390 tons of bri- auettes, which were valued at $1410,637 The coal tar and other coal products bought by France last year weighed 17e,- 745 pounds and cost $l,637.412. All told the coal and coal product imports of France in 1905 amounted to s41, ,S0573O.
 One-tenth of the country's coal imports are landed at Nantes and St. Nazaire. Not a ton of American coal is included in this amount. This market is worth study ing for the product of the French mines is not sufficient for the ever-increas- ing demand of French industry. The home production last year was 24,272,011 tons of coal. 1.7727s5 tons of coke, and 9I,O6S tons of patent fuel German coal competi- tion in France Is believed to be only temporary, as Germany needs her coal for home industries. English coal is carried to this port for 96 cents per ton, but must first pay 24 cents ex- port duty, while Mediterranean ports, with higher freight costs from Cardiff, are even more favorable for Amtrican coal Private consumers at Nantes pay S. per long ton. and as high as $l0.6l per long ton for English anthracite coal

who has brought sorrow to her home.
The work of the society is growing
larger every month. The total num-

A DESPERATE deed.
Men Slain By Explod.
ing Dynamite --Three
More will Die.

Chicago, July 13-Three men were
blown to pieces, three others fatally
injured, and several others badly
hurt, by an explosion which early
today wrecked a shanty in the Nc
Laughlin stone quarries at Bellwood,
a short distance northwest of Chic
ago.
There was evidence that the ex-
plosion was the result of a plot on
the part of people who are at pre-
sent unknown to the police. The
dynamite shed of the quarry, which
is at a considerable distance from the
shanty which was blown up, was
broken open, and the dynamite car
ried to the building in which a num-
Der of laborers were sleeping, and
exploded beneath the structure. The
survivors all declare that there was
no dynamite around the shanty when
they retired for the night.
The explosion aroused the resi-
dents for several miles around, and
shattered many panes of glass a mile
away from the quarries. A larger
part or the body of one of the men
killed was taken from a tree a hun
dred feet from the place where the
shanty had stood. Parts of the corpse
were found lying all around the tree.
All of the men killed and injured
were Greek and italian laborers.
The officials of the Mclaughlin
Company denounced the blowing up
of the shanty as deliberate murder,
and said that in their opinion the
crime had been actuated by a desire
to rob the sleeping men. Several of
them were known to have consider
able money. Louis Pappilo was said
to have carried $1,000 in a belt he
wore around one leg. Pappilo and
his brother were killed and when
the bodies were found both had been
completely stripped of clothing. This
was not the case with any other man
who was in the shanty at the time
of the explosion, and according to
the officials of the Mclaughlin Com
pany bears out their theory that rob-
berry was the motive of the crime.
Late in the day the police received
information that led them to believe
that the dynamite might have been
placed under the building at the in
stance of a woman who was jealous
of one of the men who was killed. It
is known that they quarreled the
day before the explosion, and that
she threatened him. saafszszz

TyDhOid and Filtration.

In previous years Washington has
been sadly afflicted with typhoid
fever. but last fall a large, expensive
and modern filtration plant was put
into operation. The hope was ex-
pressed at the time that the Potomac
water would be rendered wholesome
by the sand ,,or mechanical process,
and that it would no longer be neces-
sary to boil it in order to secure i'm
munity from psychological diseases
in its use and consumption.
This hope has, however, proven de-
lusive, for the typhoid scourage is as
prevalent in Washington today as it
vas last summer OF at any previous
time.
If sand filtration will not rob water
of harmful germ life, the fact should
be made known, for the very use OF
approved filtration induces many to
be careless in the boiling Of water.
Washington is investigating the sub
ject. An expert commission has
been put at work, and every case OF
typhoid in Washington is to be. in
vestigated with view of ascertaining
whether the infection is of q local
nature or is due to Potomac water
brought in by the District and dis

Two MAGNIFICENT PIERS.
Uncle Sam Will Build a Colonial City
and an UnfiValled Approach at
the jamestown Exposition
Next Year.


sums appropriated by the United
States Government in aid OF the
jamestown Celebration to be held
next year near Norfolk, Va, five
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
are specifically set aside for the con-
s~truction of buildings and the collec-
ton of exhibits. Of this amount the
larger part is the building fund.
It has been the purpose of the
jamestown Exposition from its very
inception to create a Colonial city on
the shores of Hampton Reads, and
the policy of the United States Gov
eminent is to further this end by the
erection of buildings all of which
will belong to that distinct type of
architecture. Dotted here and there
along the six miles of roadway con-
Meeting the Exposition with Norfolk
are several fine examples of Colonial
architecture, and in the city of Nor
folk there are some houses which are
perfect specimens of that type.
It might be said that the Ameri-
can adaptation of the Georgian style,
called the Colonial, reached its zenith
in Virginia, as is attested by the
splendid James river mansions, the
Colonial houses of Middle Virginia,
and that marvellous example of the
purest type, the University of Vir-
ginia.
None of the Exposition buildings
will be reproductions of Greek or
Roman temples; nothing bizarre will
be shown in the outdoor decorations
or interior adornments. The lines of
the buildings will be chaste, and the
gardens reminiscent of the seven
teenth century.
The whole picture will be a COM
posite of green foliage native flowers
hard shell OF dirt roads, and houses,
large and small, built of brick, white
columned, or of shingles interest
with tiles. The bill appropriating
the government money sets forth
that s'said buildings shall be erected
as far as possible in the Colonial style
of architecture, from plans prepared
by the Supervising Architect of the
treasury" This provision of Con-
gress is in line with the Architects
predictions, and as a result, the
government will have, for the first
time at any Exposition, a set OF
buildings between which there is nc
discord of style.
To enable free and ready COM
m%unication between the ships of the
fleets that will assemble in Hampton
Roads and the Exposition shores,
and in order to furnish a safe and
ample harbor for small boats and
launches, the government has ap'
propriated four hundred thousand
dollars for two mammoth piers.
