Great Majestic Malleable and Charcoal Iron Range
ONE WEEK TUES, OCT.6 oNEWEEK
Facts About
The Great Majestic Range

1t is the only range in the world made of
Malleable and Charcoal Iron.
1t has, beyond any question of a doubt, the
largest and best reservoir.
1t uses about half the fuel used on other
ranges, and does better work by far.
The Majestic All Copper Nickeled Reser-
voir heats the water quicker and hotter than any
other. 1t is the only reservoir with removable
frame.
The Charcoal Iron Body of the Great Ma
estic Range lasts three times as long as a steel
body.
Being made of non-breakable material, there
is practically no expense for repairing the Ma
jestic.
AS for baking, it is perfection; no, only for
few months, but for all time to come.
A GREAT MAJESTIC RANGE lasts
three times as long cheap range, but it don't
cost three times much.

word for any Of the above statements, but If

tory, where Majestic Ranges are made, will

Those who accompanied him from San Francis co were Mrs Evans, Mrs Marsh, his daughter; Dr Mcdonald, of the navy, Lieutenant Commander Chandler. Lieutenant Train of the admiral's staff; Lieutenant Evans, his son, and Lieutenant Gherardi, former com mander of the Yankton, the tender to the battleship fleet on the voyage to the Pacific.
 Admiral Evans alighted from the train in the union station here with the aid of crutches. and on seeing the roller chair that was awaiting him, he exclaimed: T don't want to take the chair, but I suppose I'll have to-"
 In the party that met Admiral Evans here were Rear Admiral Pills bury, Captain Kimball, Captain In- gersoll, Rear Admiral Cowles, Com mander Marsh, Mrs Chandler, Mrs Emery and Mrs J. V. Chase. Rear Admiral Cowles complimented Fighting Bob on looking so well, and he responded: T am much bet ter. I haven't been half as i'll as the newspapers reported"
 The admiral was wheeled from the station to an automobile, which took him to his home, No 324 Indiana avenue.
 No plans for welcoming Rear Ad- miral Evans on his return to Wash ington had been made, as 1t was his expressed wish that there should De no demonstration of any kind, owing to the recent death of his favorite grandchild, Robley Evans Sewall

DRINKS LAUDANUM COPIOUsLY.
Woman Is Still Alive and Will Prob-
 ably Recover.

New Haven, May 15.-After drinking three quarters of an ounce of laudanum on Wednesday night, Miss Adeline Hattorf of 635 Con- gross avenue, is alive and expected to recover. She was found at II o'clock on Wednesday night on Grove street, Savin Rock, in an un- conscious condition and taken to Edward J. Flannery's saloon, which was nearby. Dr Joseph L. Gilmore of West Haven was immediately summoned. He arrived at 1l:45 and worked over her until l o'clock when the ambulance arrived ana took her to the New Haven hospl- tai. When Dr Gilmore arrived MISS Hattorf was pretty far gone and TOT some time it looked doubtful that her life could be saved. Ten drops is ordinarily enough to cause deatn' but the enormity of the dose is sup posed to have overloaded her stom- ach and prevented the poison work ing immediately as is often the case with an excessive dose of laudanum.

MAIL ARRANGEMENT
Provincial Papers Received at Bos
 ton In Bulk.

Halifax, N. S., May 15.-A new arrangement has been reached be- tween the publishers of weekly and semi-weekly papers in the maritime provinces and the United States post office department, whereby the Bos- ton post office will receive in bulk by express, all the provincial papers intended for circulation in the Unit ed States, and eonsign them to their destinations at postage charge of but one cent for each pound of pa pers in bulk. This will enable the publishers to distribute their papers to a much larger patronage than has been possible lately, owing to pro hibitive rates.
 The postage charges on Canadian papers entering the United States was at one time one cent for four ounces. but the law establishing the rate was replaced in its application to the maritime provinces b. the new ar engagement, just reached.
