YOUNG FAIRMoNTER SAVES wo.
MANS LIFE AT COLUMBUS,
OHIO.

The Columbus Evening Dispatch
contains the following account of q
street car accident in which French
Mecray, of Fairmont, is given credit
for saving the life of the wife Of a
bank president:
Mrs. Emery ]. Smith, OF 755 Den
nison avenue. wife OF the president of
the Security Savings bank and presi-
dent of the Smith Agricultural Chem
ical company, had a remarkable es-
cape from death beneath the wheels
OF street car on High street opposite
the State house, late Saturday after
noon.
While Mrs. Smith escaped with her
life, she is confined at the Protestant
Hospital with bad fracture Of the
left leg just above the ankle, and an
inch and a half scalp wound on the
forehead, a lacerated left elbow and
bad bruises on the body and limbs.
Pinned to the Track.
Mrs. Smith was in the act OF cross
ing High street and noticing north
bound car approaching. she hurried
across the track, but failed to notice
the approach of south bound car,
which struck her. She was thrown to
the ground directly on the track
The motorman did not see her and
but for the fact that French McCray,
a law student at Ohio state University,
saw her fall. and at the risk of person.
al injury jumped on the front end Of
the car and secured the motormau's
attention, the wheels of the car would
have passed over her body.
Saved by Brave Boy.
1t was said by eye witnesse' that
the act of the young law student was
so daring as to almost over-awe them.
Out OF all this great crowd of people,
so prevalent at that hour in the busiest
part OF the Columbus shopping dis
trIct he was the only one to act,
AS the car struck Mrs. Smith, throw
ing her cross-wise the track directly IN
front of 1t, then rolling her over and
over like a log. young McCray dOrted
forward and down the track to assist
her. He was but a few feet distant
when the PROSTATE form passed under
the horizontal steel bar which is sup
posed to drop the fender, situated un-
der the front platform directly back
of the lever and in front OF the wheels.
Her feet passed under the netting
first, thus causing the fender to shove
the helpless woman along over the
street. slippery with slush and rain, in
stead of allowing It to drop down and
pick her up.
Instead OF saving himself by jumping
aside young McCray Strengthened up
when the fast moving car was almost
upon him, and, without the least hest
tation. sprang forward. alighting upon
the narrow running board of the clos
ed car, just over the coupling bar, at
the same time striking the windows
with his gloved hand. There being
absolutely nothing 10 which he could
cling he fell backwards, but fortunate
ly turning in the air and landing on
his feet.
During this grief Interval the motor
man was looking back into his car.

DEATH CALLS
BISHOP HENRI Y
SATTERLEE
NOTED PRELATE SUCCUMBS
TO PNEUMONIA
One Of the Most Prominent Men in
Protestant Episcopal Church
Dies at His Home In
Washington

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Right Rev,
Henry Yates Satterlee, d. D., for the
rast twelve years Protestant Episcopal
bishop of washington, died at his resi-
dence here today. He was 60 years or
age. Although threatened with the
grip, Bishop Satterlee officiated at serv-
ices last Sunday morning.
Shortly afterward his condition be-
came more acute and physician was
called. During the early part of the
week he improved somewhat, and 1t
was thought he would speedily recover,
but pneumonia developed and for sew
eral days his condition caused con-
Germ. He passed away shortly before
8 o'clock this morning.
The funeral probably will be at the
Pro-cathedral church here next Tues
day. The illness which resulted In
the bishops death is attributed to an
experience in New York harbor when
a transfer boat on which he was q
passenger on his return from Provi-
dence to Washington, a week ago
Thursday night, was detained in the
fog on the East river for several hours.
The last communion was administered
10 him shortly before his death.
Bishop Satterlee was a native OF
New YORK ana was reldleu u sollo "
the Oldest families of that state. His
maternal grandfather was Governor
Joseph Yates. The Episcopal cathe-
dral in course of construction In the
outskirts of this city will be monu-
ment to his energy.
1t was he who, twelve years ago,
served as the bearer of a non-political
petition to Emperor Nicholas IL, en-
treating him to use his influence in
connection with other Christian pow
ers to put an end to the Armenian
lnassacres.
This petition was signed by the arch
tishop of Canterbury and other pre-
lates and represented probably 100000
COO Christians.
Mrs. Satterlee, formerly Miss Jane
Churchill of New York, and daugh-
ter, survive the bishop.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL

Cost Nothing to Try

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
.lisinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans

Charcoa. is a remedy that the more
you take of 1t the better; 1t Is not
drug at al, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines ana car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables:
Charcoal effectually clears and I'M
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural ana
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect IN the stomach and bowels' 1t
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
: All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed Of the finest powdered
willow charcoal and other harmless
antisept.cs II tablet form, or rather In
the form of large pleasant tasting loz-
enges. the charcoal being mixed with
