 shaft. and Herseh Fell.

New York. Aug 17.-While trying to save pet kitten. Mabel Leistman, years old, felt to her death from the roof of the tenement No 1855 Third avenue.
 Mabel's mother was gathering in the family washing on the roof at 10:30 o'clock while the child played beside her. Suddenly Mabel's we'll loved kitten darted out through the scuttle and scampered across the roof, heading straight for an unprotected airshaft.
 Mabels bright eye saw her pet and read its danger. Crying Save Kitty, save Kitty" she toddled toward the kitten. with chubby arms extended. Before the mother could make a move to avert it the child disappeared down the shaft. The kitten. fright ened by her warning cry. had turned back from the open shaft into which her tiny protector plunged head fore most.
 The child fell to the stone-nagged cellar, five stories below.

the world and so malformed us that We
are far from perfect. The divine Image
is soiled and inerusted with the mire
of sin. AS we say of man who has
yielded to the power of drink, that his
mother would scarcely recognize in the

child she cherished IN infancy, so we
do not see Gods image In the sinful
man; but, as Paul said to the people
whom he had led TO Christ. Such were
some of you, but ye are washed, but ye
are sanctihed, but ye are Justified And
he says, too, that they who behold las
in a mirror the glory of the Lord are
changed into the same image so the
image that Is overlad or lost is restored
or brought to light by Christ.
Christ says, I'VE are my friends II va

means. You shall again be stamped in

you do 1t? VIII you today throw your

All women work; some In their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, N1ickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day. to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see q woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is SO
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement of the female or
ganism.
Miss F. Orser, of IA Warrenton Street,
Boston, tells women how to avoid such
suffering; she writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-'

female Irregularities. My back ached: had
bearing down pains, and frequent headaches;

West Indies a Danger Zone.

On this hemisphere the West Indies have
always been regarded as the danger zone
as far as volcanoes are concerned, and Mt
Pelee on Martinique had once almost wiped
out the town OF st. Pierre prior to the aw-
full eruption of 1902. St Pierre was at the
same time q mile closer to Pelee than was
Pompeii to Vesuvius, and the mountain
like all volcanoes, though IL had lain DOR
mant for long time, was as unreliable as
any of the other vent holes of the earth.
But familiarity breeds contempt with vol
canoes as with anything else. Peiee had
given warning that there was trouble COM
ing about three months before the final
catastrophe. The people took no notice,
however and there was an excursion to
the mountain advertised weeks in advance
to take place May 10, which proved to be
two days after the fatal eruption.
In fact up to the moment that the awful
cloud of fire swept out of the volcano May
g. the cable ship Grappler was fishing for
q broken cable off the town and was send
ing testing messages over the line The
cable operator at the city end or the Wire
had lust said ready" when the burning
cloud swept out of the mountain. Three
minutes afterward there was not a vestige
of st. Pierre left except smoking brick
walls 1t was city of the dead, popula-
ton of so 000 wiped out in an instant. Yet
St Pierre is being gradually rebuilt. and
there will be a thriving town there waiting

Krakatau was the prime spectacular per-
Torrance of the world, so far as there Is
any record For months prior to the out
break there was every evidence that the
mountain was getting ready to do business
on an extensive scale. The little island
where it is located is directly between Java
and Sumatra and. has been said, was
fortunately unlnhabited. AS early as May
of 1888 the mountain commenced 10 smoke
and there was an eruption that the visit
ing ship captains thought was on a toler-
ably extensive scale. 1t wiped out all the
vegetation on the island and blew away
part of the crater.
What Happened in August
But that was merely the tuning up for
the overture. The mountain rumbled and

IN SERIOUS CONDITION.
Case of William Beale, Arrested al
White House

William Beale, the colored man who came
here last Thursday and was arrested when
he called upon Secretary Taft at the War
Department, is in a serious condition at the
Government Hospital for the Insane HIS
home is at 304 West 3sth street, New York
city, and his mother lives at as Hudson
street. New Haven, Conn. BeaIes case is
somewhat similar TO that of a man who
was taken into custody at the White House
several weeks ago and who died in the
asylum within forty-eight hours OF the time
he reached there. Beale is the man who
appeared before Magistrate Barlow and in
sisted upon appearing as counsel for Albert
Trott, colored, who was under arrest
charged with insulting white woman,
Mrs. Isabel Oliver. while she was a pas
seifger on an elevated train.
Mrs. Oliver has received a number of
threatening letters from people In New
York, nearly all of them written by Tilt
crate persons. but she declares she will
prosecute the case to the fullest extent
and says she may apply for permission 10

prepared to defend herself in the event Of
being attacked.

EASTER MARKET.
Yesterday Was a Busy Occasion for
the Dealers.

Although market dealers declared they
had had a good Easter trade. there seemed
to be supplies Upon the benches last night
for another Easter opening. Many of those
who visited the Center market yesterday
were merely sightsecrs. and they We're so
numerous that at times they were in the
way of tie shoppers. All day long there
was steady stream of men, women and
children moving along the aisles in which
the flowers were to be found. 1t is said that
the supply of flowers was particularly
large this season, and last night some of
the dealers were willing to dispose of their
remaining stock at greatly reduced prices.
The flowers had been picked over. however.
and as a rule were not as fresh and bright
as We're those sold during the morning
hours.
The meat supply showed the effects of
the days trade, and was to be had at al
most any price. The prices charged de-
pended wholly upon the quality. some of
the dealers sacrificing their stock rather
than keep it over until Monday. Outside
the market there were dealers who had
large stocks of meat. and they were shout
ing the prices for the benefit of those who
usually do their shopping Saturday nights.
WHO viii have this nice beef at cents
a pound?" several of them shouted.
Thousands of pounds of beef We're sold
at the price mentioned. and as much more
was sold at prices ranging from that to II
cents pound. Pork and sheet meat was
sold at correspondingly cheap prices, and
the crowds who patronfZed the street mer-
chants remained about the market until
long after the regular closing hour of the
building. Included among the late shoppers
were many belated countrymen and others.
It was nearly midnight when the last light
was extinguished and when the night
watchmen appeared.

FISHERMEN ARE BUSY.
Elaborate Preparations Made for
Sport by Anglers.

thousands of persons who had planned
to go fishing today were busy Yesterday
with preparations for their trips. They
watched the weather bureau reports as
closely as did the ladies who had purctla sed
new hats or dresses. Nothing short of a
heaVy downfall of rain will keep the en-
tnusiastic disciples of Walton from the
river and Eastern Branch today. Many
newly made gardens were dug up by an
giers yesterday and many plants ruined
but the question of destroying a few plants
was matter of minor consideration COM
pared with the supposed necessity for get
ting worms for use as bait
Soft crabs, Ii is said, make the finest bait
for the large white perch. but every angler
Is not able to pay the high prices that are
charged for them. The prices range from
- cents to $3.50 dozen. and twelve of the
spiders" furnish only a small quantity of
bait. Despite the prices charged for them
the demand was great and fishermen
bought nearly all the stock the dealers hard
on hand The good luck experienced by
some fishermen last week caused others to
believe that they could catch some good
strings of fish today. Live bait is plentiful
and much cheaper than crabs.
Boatmen along the river and branch re-
ceived many advance orders for boats, and
1t is believed, there will be scarcely boat
be anything like fit for the anglers to
make an early start. Experts who have
spent considerable time on the river during
recent days suggest that it would be well
for the rod and line anglers to take along
some fresh herring for bait, many Missis-
sfppi catfish having been caught recently
with herring bait.
