Dreaded More Than Fire.

New York City.--Nineteen persons
lost their lives and at least fifteen
were more or less seriously injured
in a fire which Quilted the six-story
double tenement at No. 222 Chrystie
street. Most of the persons in the
house were Italians. Eighteen of the
dead were taken from the wrecked
building after the firemen succeed
ed in gaining control over the fire,
but one, Malicia Dolizo. vas forced
off the fire escape in the mad flight
for freedom, and died on her way to
the hospital. The fire was preceded

bomb.

The tenement, which in the days
before the invasion of the Italian in
to the district was known as the
Three Deuces,' and has figured in
many a story when Irish and German
struggled for the mastery there
abouts, is now in the centre of the
so-called BLACK Hand district,
where many outrages have been COM
mitted. So it was that when an ex-
plosion, followed by a chorus of
screams, was heard by those in the
house, the occupants covered in their
rooms, and not even the sound of re-
volver shots which succeeded the
crash could move them to leave the
place. They stayed where they were
rather than run the mysterious risks
of the BLACK Hand"

The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. It may be ofthe nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or come other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture Of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has triedto
II them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied direct
lyto the people, and no more be charged
for it than is necessary for the
handling of it.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full

Morgan and the Sufferer.

A young reporter on the New York
Sun, who suffered fearfully, was sent
one day to try to get a statement
from Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan.
"Who and what are your" de-
manded Mr.. Morgan.
In moments of surprise or nervous
excitement the reporters stammering
always became acute, so he stood
with jaws locked, vainly trying to
speak.
Mr.. Morgan began to fume, and
finally he %sputtered:
What in the devil are your"
The reporters sense of humor did
not share the clogging up of his
speech, and, after much facial con-
t~ortion, he managed to gurgle out:
"I-I-I-aaaa-m an elocutionist."
Mr.. Morgan saw the joke, he grim
ly relaxed and when the reporters
observation-disclosures returned he got
the statement.-Saturday Evening

Bells For Cats,

Writing Backward.

A case of mirror writing has been
brought to light in the Great Bar
rington public schools which is at
tracing considerable attention. Vera
Coster, a five-year-old girl who at
tends the primary grade, is the vic
tim, and at. first the teacher was
unable to make out just what the
child was doing. When any copy
is given to her to write she starts
at the right hand side of the paper,
and when she finishes n would
think that the work was a mere
scrawl. Placing the writing before
a mirror, it can be easily read and
the copy is surprisingly plain

Lexington, ky.-WiE the Ken
lucky tobacco planters be able to
command their own price for the pro-
duct of their lands or will their fight
with the Tobacco Trust result in a
great feud in which many lives are
to be sacrificed? This question is
agitating Kentucky farmers at pres
ent.
The producers of Blue Grass seed
have formed a pool and sold their en-
tire crop this season at a greatly ad-
vanced price, but this will be sold
back to the other farmers, and they
must pay the farmers who harvested
the seed the additional profits. The
growers of wheat have attempted a
pool with some success, and the
breeders of thoroughbred horses
have a tacit understanding so that
prices are enhanced.
In Western Kentucky the planter
who will not join the Tobacco Asso-
citation fears to close his eyes lest
some of his property be destroyed by
might riders" In Central Ken
lucky there are some planters who
say the men who are building up the
tobacco pools have objects of graft
before them, and they will not go in.
The trust buyers are having a hard
time. They dare not reveal them
selves in the black tobacco district,
for the tobacco planters in that end
Of the State fear nc law. The Fire
Marshal and the Governor have each
taken a hand in trying to suppress
~lawlessness, but it is increasing with
alarming rapidity. The Grand Juries
will not act, nor will the Sheriffs of
the counties investigate the lawless
deeds of the night raiders, either
through fear or sympathy.
Work of the "Night Riders"
The disorder specially centres in
Trigg, Caldwell, Todd, and Hopkins
Counties, which are infested with the
so-called might Riders" The work
was first confined to threats and in
~timidation, but when it was seen
that these methods did not have the
desired effect violent methods were
pursued. 1t is now a daily occur
for farmers to be taken from
their homes at night and severely
dashed by masked men or to awake
and find their barns destroyed by
fire or dynamite. A new scheme was
discovered by laborers on the farm
of DR.. Work in Trigg County, who
were seriously injured by a discharge
of dynamite placed in wheat shocks
during the night. The dynamite
exploded when the wheat was passed
through the machinery.
That the influence of the associa-
ton is spreading and has reached the
white Burley district was shown in
the last week, when the farmers of
Mason County were unable to get
hands to thrash their wheat because
they were not members of the associ-
alton, and thousands of bushels will
spoil as a result.
Strong Antitrust Organization.
Meanwhile the efforts to organize
the tobacco people have advanced
rapidly, and it is now estimated that
