Donkey Cure For whOopinB Cough.
A new sure cure for the whooping
cough has been found IN New York.
says a correspondent Of the Pittsburg
Dispatch. First you must have q don
key. Any old sort of donkey will do.
The cure is more efiicacious IL applied
at night when the moon is shining
However, this is not absolutely essen
tial Cures are known to have been
effected while twas yet day. After
you have the donkey coax It to stand
quiet; then take the patient and pass
him or her three times under the don
keys belly from right to left. The re-
turn must be made BY passing the pa
tlent over the donkey's back. When
the patient is little girl the mother
stands on the right side and passes the
child under the right side OF the beast
TO some person stationed on the other
side. You can pass boy any old way.
It makes no difference. This cure is
being tried by scores Of persons IN Cen
trail park. The park sports two dom
keys and every night anxious mothers
with indlsposed progeny appear before
Keeper Phil Holmes, who good ma
turedly gives them permission to try
their luck. It Is said, strangely enough,
that many or the children have been re-
lieved OF their cough through the me
dunn Of this new cure.

SENATORS OPPOSED TO HOUSE
CHANGES IN MEAT tNsPEC.
TION AMENDMENT.
PACKERS SHOULD PAY The COST
GOVERNMENT CERTIFICATE DE
CLARED OF GREAT BENEFIT
TO THE BUSINESS.

Washington, June 21. - Senator
Proctor called up in the senate the
agricultural appropriation bill and
made the usual motion for agreement
to the request for a conference. He
then made a statement concerning the
house substitute for the meat inspec-
tiOn provision, saying that there were
two essential points of difference be-
tween the two houses. One of these,
he said, was the omission by the
house of the senate provision requir-
ing that the date of inspection be
placed on cans containing meat and
the other the transfer of the cost Of
inspection from the packers to the ma
tional treasury. Speaking of the lat
ter change he said that it was radical
and in his opinion unWise and advise i
that the house amendment on that
point be not accepted. The packers
could, he declared, afford the expense
as an advertisement, for looked at in
that light the government certificate
would be of immense benefit. MI.
Proctor also charged that the numer-
Gus protests which have been coming
to the senate on this subject have a
common origin in Chicago and in sup
port Of his statement read a number
of protests to show language to be
practically the same wherever they
may be dated.

TWO DEAD, MANY INJURED.
THIRTY-FIvE MEN FACE DEATH
BY DROWNING IN TUNNEL
AT NEW YORK CITY.

New York, June 21.-Two men lost
their lives, another was fatally in
jured and six more were severely hurt
as result of an accident in the Penn
sylyania tunnel between Thirty-fourth
street, this city, and Long Island City.
Twenty-four Of the thlrty-five men
who were at work in the tunnel at the
time Of the accident escaped without
serious injury after having faced death
by drowning.
The accident was caused by the
tremendous air pressure necessary at
the head of the tunnel to hold back
the soft mud into which the shield is
forced. The mud under this shield
was blown out and two of the work
men who were caught in the flow of
air were swept to death in the river.
When the heading was emptied of air
water rushed in through the opening
and threatened to drown the survivors.
In the struggle which followed be.
tween the workmen to escape from
the chamber through the little door
which connects with the finished part
of the tunnel several of them were
severely hurt. Finally, however, the
cooler heads among the men prevailed
and all of the survivors, either by
their own efforts or the assistance of
others, found safety in the completed
tunnel. So rapidly did the water flow
into the unfinished compartment that
before the last mans turn came to
pass through the little door he was
standing neck deep in the water.

Of the supreme court of the United
States, was killed during the day by
jumping from window of Garfield
hospital, where he was undergoing
treatment.

hospital Tuesday afternoon for a
slight injury to his face, which he said
had been received by falling from a
street car. At the Emergency hos
pital it was said that York had been
drinking. Later he was conveyed to
his apartments in the Logan, where
he was attended by his family physl-
clan. When the physician visited him
again at night he found the dressing
had been removed. It then was de-
cided to take the patient to Garfield
hospital to have a new dressing ap.
piled. This done York was sent to a
ward. He was perfectly rational at
the time and it is said would have
been sent to his apartments but for
the lateness of the hour and the fact
that his wife was out Of the city.
Mr.. York was about forty years of
age and had held his position with
Chief Justice Fuller for many years.
