Toulon. March 13.-The effort to

the explosion on board the French
battleship, lena, which hav been car
hours, have not yet resulted in def

After the last roll call tonight
there was still unaccounted for so

there is little doubt that thse miss.
applied only to tn lena and as It is
believed that som twelve or fifteen
arsenal hands were engaged on board
the battleship at the time of the ex-
plosion It is feared that the total
number of dead will reach 100.
Minister of Marine Thompson made
lfternaon, after the dry dock had
been emptied of water, and made a
careful examination of every part Of
the batt}eship nat was accessible.
The interior steel planking and the
partitions of the battleship show
signs of having been subjected to
enormous pressure. In many places
they are bulged out or indented. The
gap in the sid of the vessel acted
as a safety value for the volume
of gas, without which the explosion
would have had even more disastrous
results.
All day long weeping mothers.
wives and other relatives of the
missing men throngcd the approaches
to the hospital, hoping that their
loved ones were still alive and Gag
crly scanning the stretchers that
were brought in.
Fifty bodies were recovered dur
ing the day, but only twelve of them
could be recognized. The remainder
were formless masses of charred
flesh.
At I o'clocw this evening hope
was revived by a rumor that several
men had been brought alive, but this
proved to be untrue.

"MARRY ME-OR I DE-"
lovesiek Swain Drinks Poison Wher
Sweetheart Says Nay.

Muskogee, !. T., March 13.-Heart-
broken when the woman he loved re-
fused to wed him, John Rourke, rs
years old, ended his life today by
drinking several ounces of carbo
acid.
For many years Rourke had been a
sutor for the hand Of a girl who re-
iected him for a rival named Palmo'
dine. Her bNedded life was unhappy
and she secured a divorce. RourKe
renewed his attentions. She received
him as a friend, but would not consent
TO their marriage.
Hearing that Palmodine was coming
back to Muskogee to effect a recon-
ciliation, Rourke went to Mrs. Palmo-
dimes home and pleaded her conscut
to wed. She again refused.
Taking a vial Of deadly poison in
his hand, he held It before the wo-
mans eyes and between clenched
teeth. half hissed, half whispered:
Marry me-marry me now--mafry
me-or III take this"
With one brawny arm frustrating
her frantic efforts to dash the vial
from his hand. with the other he
placed It to his lips-and staggered
into an adjoining bed room.
Stricken with terror, the woman
hurriedly called a physician. He came
too late. Rourke breathed his last as
the woman returned.
For a number of years Rourke was
a patrolman In ST. Louis.

Origin of Trousers.

Trousers, the distinctive feature
of mems dress, were worn in Egypt
for the first time. Both women and
men had been wearing aprons.
Aprons we're the very first attempt
to ornament and decorate the per
son. Before they appeared men
and women wore skins and furs-
plain, severe and simple. The aprons
were a fanciful friII. The women
of Egypt got to wearing them long,
and imperious fashion required the
men to do the same. It was diff
cult for the men to move freely,
though, wearing these long aprons.
A genius appeared. He cut holes
in the apron, stuck his legs through,
and, behold, he had the rudimentary
trousersl Little by little something
was added behind OF in front until
today we have the perfect pattern.

The Wit of Fox.

Charles James Fox, the famous
English advocate of a century ago,
and his secretary, Mr.. Hare, who
lived with him, were both noted for
their impecuniosity, and their cred
itors spent much time in dunning
them. One morning before daylight
there was a violent ringing at the
door, and Mr.. Fox, going to the
window, found group of creditors
below.
care you fox hunting or hare
hunting this morning, gentlemen ?"
he asked.
"Come, now, Mr.. Fox" one of
them called up, %ten us when you
are going to pay that bill. Just set
a date, and we will leave you in
peace"
"An right" was the reply. GLOW
will the day of Judgment suit you p
mot at ALL" said the creditor.
"We'l all be too busy on that day"
"Well," said Mr.. Fox, rather
than put you to any inconvenience,
we'll make it the day after"

cALAMITIEs IN CITES.
Every Great Center Sooner or Later
Meets With Disaster.

Sooner OF later, it seems, every
city in the country is sure to have
its great calamity. New York has
had its blizzard, Charleston its
earthquake, Galveston its deluge,
Johnstown its flood, Chicago and
Baltimore their fires, New Orleans
its pestiIence, st. Louis its cyclone,
Pittsburg its riots, Paterson It's
dread trinity of flame, flood and
tornado, the cities of the lower Mis-
sissippi valley their freshets ami
San Francisco and the sister cities
of the coast ruin in earthquake and
fire. Somewhere every year it seems
to be the case that the destruction
that befell the ancient cities of the
plain is to be repeated, to awaken
the same superstitious dread and re-
mind humanity that 1SGod made the
country and man made the town."
WHY'S it that the lament "Bab-
ylon is fallen, is fallen" must be
uttered every year? The reason
is as prosaie as the force of gravita-
ton, but it may be as formidable
as that force working through an
earthquake shock. Where a multi
tude of people are gathered together
the forces exist for converging a
calamity that would dissipate itself
unnoticed in wilderness or a pas
toral country. A great city means
a great population to disseminate
contagion. 1t. means a site on a
navigable river that may be muir
derously oyerswollen in a freshet or
on a bay of the ocean out of which
a swollen tide may come. AS for
the wind, it "bloweth where it
and storm that in a farm
ing country might uproot a few
trees and unroof few cottages, in
a city may topple down walls on a
sleeping population and lend wings
to the death angel of fire.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an, inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

COL. GLENN S CONTEMPT
BE METHODS.

The contemplate and ungentle-
zuanIyscourse-pursuedb by Colonel
Glenn, in conducting the defense
of Major Penrose, is enough to
prejudice any. fair-minded person
against the defendants cause. If
Colonel Glenn hopes to bolster up
the cause of his client-which very
apparently requires some sort OF
boIstering-by Dadgering and IN
Sulting the witnesses against him,
he must consider his cause to be a
weak one. And if such methods
avail with the officers constituting
,court-martial, then Texans must
lose all respect for our army tribu-
mails. Any who may have felt the
Eeast sympathy for Penrose, whose
worst sins seem to be incompetent
Gy and insincerity, can now feel
only contempt for him.
After admitting repeatedly that
mis- soldiers must have been guilty,
ne now endeavors to impeach the
testimony of witnesses who would
prove that they were guilty, and
who already have proven it twice
10 the satisfaction of the inspector
general of the army and of Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself. 1t may be
shat Major Penrose and his coun-
sci hope to profit by the one-sided
investigation now being conducted
by the United States senate, in
which his soldiers are daily swear
inc to their own innocence and en-
deavoring to fasten the foul crime
which they committed upon the
Snuocent and outraged people of
Brownsville. Indeed it almost ap-
pears as II the latter 1nVeSugallon
had been begun purposely at the
same time as the Penrose trial with
this idea in view. Whether he will
succeed in his efforts or not re-
mains TO be seen, but if he clears
ais skirts by clearing those fends,
and succeeds in fastening the
odium of such crime upon the PEG
pie of Brownsville, then will our
people pray that never again may
