FATAL TORNADO WEST
NINE REPORTED KILLED IN
MICHIGAN-oNTAR STORM.

Eastern Ontario was swept a terrific
wind ard rainstorm yesterday afternoon,
and as a result all wire communications be-
OF Chatham, about sixty miles from Detroit
was cut off. Chatham suffered severe prop
erty loss from the storm.
A torrential rainstorm accompanied by
high wind, swept Detroit last night The
inches. and the wind in five minutes sprang
an hour. Trees were felled all over the
city, causing severe damage to wires, and
putting several hundred telephones out OF
commission. Several street car lines were
held up by broken trolley wires for a time
during the busiest hour of the evening.
Loss of life on the river was reported
last night. One said that eight lives were
lost near VOLTS, resort ON the Canadian
shore, a mile above the head Of Belle Isle;
another that a child had been picked up by
the wind and swept off the Belle Isle bridge
A Hamilton lOnt.) dispatch says: A ter
rife wind and rainstorm swept over On
tario from one end of the southern penin-
sula to the other. demolishng buildings up
roofing trees and leaving the telegraph
and telephone lines in a tangled mass of
wires. The storm struck Hamilton In the
afternoon. and for % minutes the wind tore
through the streets at the rate OF eighty
five miles an hour. Immense oak and maple
trees were cut off at the base as cleaniy
though a saw had been used; buildings
were demolished and electrical wires of all
kinds Frustrated. The street car service
was suspended for four hours Forty build
ings In course of construction and some that
had been finished were blown down. Re-
ports from the rich fruit belt In the valley
east and west of Hamilton state that the
damage to fruit trees will reach many thou
sand dollars.

ADOPTS RUBBER TIRES.
Chief Belt Believes In Their Utility
and Benefits

1t is the intention of Chief Belt of the fire
department to have two sets of wheels for
the engines In the department, one with
steel rims and the other to have a covering
of rubber Truck has had rubber-tired
wheels for a time, and their use has been
such as to convince the department Off
Gals that they are serviceable and benefl-
ciaI, especially during the winter months.
During the heated term, Chief Belt says.
the steel-covered wheels are easier and
safer. He has money enough left this
year, he says, to equip No. II engine with
them during the next fiscal year. Chief
Belt considered the rubber tires for the en-
gines of such Importance that he has re-
Trained from asking for an appropriation for
an electric vehicle for his own use In re-
spending to alarms of fire. He realizes
that such a vehicle is absolutely necessary
wait until he gets certain other pieces of
apparatus for the department.
The use of the rubber tires, the chief
says, Is not to be an experiment. He be-
lieves the use of them on the truck has
fully demonstrated the benefits that are to
be derived from them. During the winter
season 1t Is almost impossible to prevent
the sliding of the heavy engine unless the
horses are brought almost to stop, and
the slow speed means a loss of valuable
time In some instances, and then 1T does
not do away with the danger.
IT Is the intention of the chief to equip
engines 1, 2, and 10 with the rubber tires
during the next fiscal year. The rubber
tires are to be used between October 15 and
May Is. the steel tires to be used during
the heated term.

CALLS IT SPITE WORK
PACKER ARMOUR DENoUNCES
ROOSEVELT FOR UPRoAR.

According to a cablegram to the New
York World from Paris, Ogden Armour
lost his temper yesterday when the World
correspondent interviewed him about the
revelations of the Chicago packing house
investigators appointed by President Roose-
welt. AS soon the subject was mentioned
he flew into rage, stamping his foot and
gestculating wildly as he spoke He de-
nounced President Roosevelt without stint
II say that no sane man, nobody with
the slightest knowledge of the packing
trade as it is conducted in Chicago, can
believe the horror stories In the news
papers, said Mr.. Armour. Surely no
intelligent person can even imagine that
men like myself who have their entire for
tunes invested in the packing business are
fools They cannot suppose that we are
deliberately trying to wreck our own bust
ness to throw away everything we possess,
by poisoning the consumers of our products
Any man who will think calmly and IN
diligently about the situation for five min
utes can see how absurd all this clamor is.
Engineered by Roosevelt.
There is no doubt in my mind that
the whole of these so-called revelations has
been directly engineered by President
Roosevelt. He has a strong personal ami
mus against the packers. He is now doing,
and he will do, anything in his power to
discredit them in their business. The rea-
son Is too obvious to require explaining to
anybody who knows anything about Arnerf-
can politics or American public life.
II consider the system of inspection of
the American packing industry fully ade-
auate to guarantee the purity and whole
someness of the product. IL all that Mr..
Roosevelt honestly wanted was an improve
ment in the methods and scope of inspec-
tion. surely the most straightforward way
would have been to require us to make
sary.
Wanted to Harm Packers.
"But Roosevelt wanted to harm u.s. He
wished to vent his spite on us. Unfor-
tunately the President says and does things
without stopping to think what the results
will be. And what Is the result of all his
o-cailed examination and revelation
He has simply succeeded In discrediting
the American packing business and live
stock interests in Europe. He has created

Various benefactons in Europe. 2OOO, 600
Nearly all of these benefactions are in
vested In per cent bonds of the steel
trust.
One of the unique schemes of Mr. Carnegie
was to build a lake covering about ZOO
acres for the benefit of the students of
Princeton University for boating. swimming
and skating, at a cost of 1885,, 600.
Although he has given away more than
S13OoO0,VO, larger sum than any other
human being ever devoted to the well
fare of his fellow-men, Mr.. Carnegie Is
very scrupulous about little economies not
so much on account of the amount OF money
involved, but as matter of principle, for
he believes that laborer Is worthy of his
hire only, and that tdleness should not be
profitable. The stewards and stewardesses
of the steamers upon which he crosses the
ocean twice every year always complain
because he does not give them more than
the regulation tips. An Englishman accus-
toned to travel always gives his bed room
steward and the man who waits on him in
the dining room ten shillings each. and IL
he has a wife and family, he gives the
stewardess the same amount. The deck
steward gets five shillings. the bath room
steward five shillings and the bootblack four
shillings. The average American million
aire doubles and even quadruples these
tips. He often throws ten-dollar bills
around recklessly and, as a natural conse-
quence, the servants on board a steamer
are apt to neglect ordinary passengers and
comforts of those from whom they expect
big fees Mr. Carnegie takes the position
that this Is all wrong; that the steamship
company should prohibit fees; and, II
necessary, add an equivalent amount to
the price of the passage so that all pas
sengers should be treated alike. AS IT is
impossible for him to accomplish such re-
form. he sets a good example by paying
the ordinary, conventional tips and no
more.
He carries this principle into hotels and
restaurants. Many rich men give a waiter
1.-The change" no matter what the amount
may be. Mr.. Carnegie never gives more
than twenty-five cents to a waiter IN
hotel dining room. or to n Pullman car
he does not think he is entitled to more
attention than any one else.
Like many rich men, Mr.. Carnegie never
carries much money with him. and on at
least two occasions has been compelled TO
borrow small amounts of strangers. While
riding downtown in A Madison avenue car
one morning he found himself without even
a nickel to pay his fare. He told the con-
ductor who he was and said that he would
send his fare around to the office, which
is very near his house, but the conductor
refused to trust him. whereupon a school
boy nine or ten years old, stepped up and
offered him dime. suggesting that he
might need the remainder to pay his fare
home The ironmaster thanked the lad for
his Kindness and asked his name and ad-
dress A few days later the boy received
handsome watch accompanied by letter
In which Mr.. Carnegie adorned the tale
with a moral and told him that IL was
one of the privileges of a gentleman to be
ALWAYS courteous to strangers and to re-
lievc people who are In embarrassment or
difficulties whenever the opportunity offered.

Method of Administering Remedy.

The Thompson remedy Is administered il
is explained. by being blown up each nos
tril, preferably the side of invasion first
This is Immediately followed by profuse
flow of mucous and serum, usually turbid
and distinctly purulent at first, but If the
case be true rabies 1T will rapidly become
clear. the point of invasion will become
infamed and, being opened, will exude
purulent discharge. Animals will recog
nize their owners voices and signs of intel
ligence can be seen In the eye within an
hour of administration. Horses four hours
after violent rabic commissions have been
standing in their stalls whinnying for feed
and moving their heads to parts of their
bodies which have been injured during their
struggles
been confined to the lower animals, where
rabies originate spontaneously, and that as
the disease Is seldom identified until the
stage of paroxysm is reached, 1t will be
necessary to demonstrate its effectiveness
In man before II can be modified to pro-
phylactic measure. An adult dose of the
remedy is about five grains blown up each
nostrl, side of invasion first. He does not
approve of the prehistoric treatment adopt
ed by the ancient Hindoos-cauterizing or
burning the wound-and is of opinion that
surgical cleanliness and simple antiseptic
dressing are all that is required.
He believes, 100, that the remedy will in
time fulfill a desirable mission in diseases
of the meningitis type.
Invites Suggestions.
Dr. Thompson frankly invites professional
assistance and suggestions In continuing
the research, and states that the only in
centive for the dangerous experiments
which he has conducted for a number of
years was the interest of science and the
alienation of human suffering. and that the
remedy, while not for sale, is at the dfspo-
sition of medical men.
