Signihc-... 1850. ,.-4le gigantic
outpouring of people at the big Taft
meeting at the station here yesterday
afternoon. and especially significant
was the tremendous and magnificent
,vation that the Republican candi-l
date for President of the United
States received. Tin horns and oth-l
CT campaign noise producing instru-
ments were drowned in the terrific
storm of acclaim that went up from
the people. There was a hearty
manifestation of enthusiasm from all
sides Old and young, men and
boys, women and children, high and

ing vent to their feelings and assist
ing in the grand welcoming OF Mr..
Taft. Nothing was necessary to stir
the masses to an expression of their
feelings 1t came spontaneously and
heartily
This grand ovation indicated moro
than a mere hospItable reception of
the man Mr.. Taft. 1t meant that the
people OF this section of West Vir-
ginia are fully cognizant of the i'm
portance OF the Issues in the presen
Campaign. They know full we'll the
meaning of the principles of Repub-
licanism and the principles of Bryan
ism. They are aware of the lurking
danger in the Bryan platform. The
great acclaim that-went up from the
throats of the vast multItude-at the
Clarksburg railroad station yesterday /
was in great part an expression Of ap-
prevail of the platform and the prin-
ciples OF the glorious political party
represented BY M. Taft. And. II
was also an expression of fapudia-f
ton of the dangerous policies of
Organism, policies that will destroy
and tear down and demoralize I'M
stead of building UP and developing.
1t is little wonder. indeed, that local
Democrats were much downhearted
over the brilliant success OF the big
Taft ovation. here, yesterday after
noon.

"InternaI Revenue" Collections.

The term internal revenue" has
been restricted in its meaning to such
revenues only as are collected under
the internal revenue bureau con
nected with the treasury department,
and does not include all that
are, properly speaking, from internal
sources, that is, from sources other
than duties levied at the frontiers
upon foreign commodities. Thus,
moneys arising from the sale of public
lands, from patent fees, or the 1eve-
nues of the postal service, are not gen.
orally known as internal revenues"

the captain ordered.
Kneeland was the first to make his
way through the rooms and reach the
side of the building facing the street.
The fumes of the drowning fire were
suffocating, and he was half dizzy.
The shouted orders from without, the
painting engines, the low grumble of
the flames overhead, and the batter
ing of the streams of water against
the woodwork dinned ~confusedly i IN

down a burning window frame, and it
fell out into the street.
He turned to attack another, and
the smoke-grimed helmet of a police
man confronted him. The face under

but Kneeland remembered it from
the morning. The policeman stag
gered toward him.
There's a woman out there" he
said, pointing toward a window over
head. Save her; I'm all in"
He leaned against the wall, catch

looked at him. The policeman gave
no sign Of recognition.
For a moment in the mind of the
fireman a sinister purpose arose. The

HOT ONIONS FOR PNEUMONIA.
Dread Disease Robbed of Its Terrors
by Simple Remedy.

Owing to the prevalence Of pnes-
monia and the great mortality which
attends its ravages during the winter
and spring, several boards of health
in northern New Jersey have been TAX
ing measures to protect the citizens Of
their towns from the disease. The
health board of Washington, n. j., has
published a remedy which is said to
be a sure cure for pneumonia, and
other health boards are looking into
the matter with a view of having the
same thing published for the good of
the general public. This is the pub
LEGATION as it has appeared in the pa
pers of Washington:
Take six or ten onions, according
to size, and chop fine, put in a large
spider over a hot fire, then add the
same quantity of rye meal and vine
gar enough to form a thick paste. In
the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, let
ting it simmer five or ten minutes.
Then put in a cotton bag large enough
to the lungs and apply to chest
as hot as patient can bear. In about
ten minutes apply another, and thus
continue by relocating the poultices,
and in a few hours the patient will be
out of danger. This simple remedy
has never failed to cure this too-often
fatal malady. Usually three or four
applications will be sufficient, but con-
tinue always until the perspiration
starts freely from the chest. This rem.
edy was formulated many years ago
by one of the best physicians New
England has ever known, who never
lost a patient by the disease, and won
his renown by simple remedies"

In an unpleasant humor. His asso-

no sense of humor, that's the trouble"
Kneeland had no humor, that was
a fact. Or, if he had, it was subordi-
mated to a seriousness which made
him unpopular with his fellows. With
them work, too, was work, but also
play was play. And Kneeland never
played.

When the alarm for fire tangled out

night a bad-tempered lot of men slid
down the brass poles and clambered
aboard the truck. 1t had been the
second time they had been disturbed
within an hour, and the hard work OF
the morning had left them needful OF
rest.
AS the truck drew up at the edge
of the black belch of engines the
crews were already dragging lines Of
hose into the burning tenement. From
the third and fourth story windows
a pail of smoke was blackening the
night, lit at intervals by choket
