CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Discovery Has Revolutionixed the
Treatment Of Skin Diseases.

Treatment of Skin Diseases.
Nothing In the history Of medicine has ever
approached the success OF the marvellous skin
semedy known a. poslam. which, 1t Is safe to
say mas cured more cases Of eczema and skin
diseases than any remedy ever offered for these
alls.
The success Of poslam is not at all surprising
when it is considered that a very small
quantity applied to the skin stops itching imme-
tdiately and cures chronic In two weeks.
The very worst cases Of eczema, well a.
acne, herpes. letter, piles. salt rheum. rash.
crusted humors. scaiy scalp and every form
OF itch, yield to It readily. Blemisbes such az
pimples. red noses muddy and infamed skin dis

plied. the complexion being cleared overnight.

PIGEONS CONVEY COOA4NG.
Birds Used to Garry Drug to Pr1s'
oners at Pittsburg.

PITTSBURG, Pa. October 1G.-Warden
John Francis of the western peniten-
tiary has proved it is next to impossible
to keep convicts from obtaining drugs.
Attached to the big penitentiary there
is an immense flock of pigeons, among
them many homers.
Yesterday the warden thought he would
like pigeon pot pie and sent one of the
servants to catch few birds. While
the cook was preparing to clean the cap
tured pigeons she came across quilts
neatly tucked beneath the wings of two
of the birds. Tucked in the qulls was
cocaine.
An investigation has proved that one OF
the prison TRUSTEES has an accomplice on
the outside, who captures the pigeons
when they go into the street to feed.
loads them with the drug and releases
them. When they return to the pen ten
tiary pigeon cote the trusty relieves them
of the drug and sells it to fellow-con

BALLooNING IN 1916.
Crowd on Georgetown Campus Saw
Experiment Then.

In a copy of the National Intelligencer
of August 10, 1876 in the possession OF
Charles C. Glover, Is an account Of the
preparation of a balloon at Georgetown
College by one of the professors which
was eight feet in diameter by about nine
feet in height. 1t was inflated with hy-
drogen gas and was set free In the pres
ence of a crowd of spectators and was
watched until it was lost In the clouds.
There were no passengers aboard, and
this essay in aerostaticS was at that time
looked upon as sufficiently remarkable
to warrant an account In the public
prints.
The contrast between the accomplish
ment thus recorded and the progress
that has been made during the past nine
ty years is regarded as one of great in
terest.

SEQUEL TO BOMB OUTRAGES

LONDON, October 16.-As a sequel to
recent bomb outrages in Sweden, Prot.
Martin Ekenburg, doctor of philosophy
and we'll known Swedish scientist. has
lost his reason and has been removed to
an asylum. The professors mental con-
dition is attributed to his knowledge that
he was suspected of completely in II not

tober 8 Ion Hammer, director of the
Swedish Export Association, received in
his mail a bomb that in exploding tore
away the thumb and finger of the right
hand, while flying bits of the metal cut
painful gashes in his face. On the same
day a similar instrument of death was
mailed to John Slice ,oin, a manufacturer

Excites Suspicion.

The nature of the latter package was
suspected and the intended victim es-
capped. AT the time 1t was charged that
the crimes were committed by secret
committee OF the socialist party which
had sentenced to death certain prominent
anti-socialists.
Prof; Ekenourg. who is resident of
this city, recently returned from Stock
holm. and 1t was not long after the out
RACES that rumors connecting his name
with the affair reached his ears. Sjoe-
holm was Ekenburg personal friend,
and to him he telegraphed emphaticaliy
denying any connection with the young
socialists. Nevertheless the fact that
he had been suspected SO preyed upon
Ekenburg's mind that last night he be-
came violently insane

Cagayan in order to obtain the boats,

years stay in the hills, and it will be

to keep him constantly in irons, hand

SHARP RETORT TO BACHELOR.
Younq Woman Extremely Ready
When Defense of the Fair Sex
Was Necessary.

Winifred Shaw, a young woman en-
ployed as a stenographer in Balti-
more. has made a sharp reply TO a
crusty bachelor who complained in a
Baltimore paper that the average
woman of to-day is a vain, shallow
creature, who makes herself ridicu-
lous by painting, powdering and slaV-
cry to hideous fashions" Miss Shaw
writes as a country girl" and she
starts by telling the grumbling critic
of her sex that bachelors are inferior
to the majority of women of the pres
ent day" She believes that the white
lights of a large city have blinded
him to the superiority of women, and
continues. II will invite this mistaken
bachelor to take day in the broad
open country where he will find girls
whose lives are as pure and healthful
as the air they breathe; girls who
have no time for the extreme and arti-
fetal style of fashion; whose labor
is only for love and home, and whose
pleasures are of the simple kind rath-
er than the glaring amusements OF the
CITY. These country girls would pre-
fer TO settle down in a little cottage.
with contentment and happiness sur
sounding them, rather than in Fifth
avenue mansion. My short experience
of city life has taught me that men,
by their fattery aud admiration, are
the cause of the extremely ridiculous
fashions of the day.

LEFT PORTRAIT OF FRIEND.
Unfortunate Artist, Before His Death,
Redeemed Promise Made Many
Years AGO.

William ]. Comley, the aged por-
trait painter who committed suicid''
in New York a short time ago, dis
charged a debt Of many years stand
ing few days before his death. Whe1
Heinrich Conried first came to this
country looking for place In a thea
ter he knew little English, He locked
himself in his room IN Thirteenth
street and set to work in an effort to
master an English part with the aid of
dictionary At last he obtained a
place in an English speaking com
pany. When he opened the part
which the manager had given him,
the first sentence he found was:
Switch me off at Mississippi" In
the dictionary the German student of
dramatic English found that switch"
was a combination of false hair worn
by woman. This wouldn't do, so he
consulted William ]. Comley, whose
room was near his. The two became
close friends. After Mr.. Conried had
attained success and wealth he was
able to be a financial help to his
friend, the artist, who had been less
fortunate. Comley promised Mr. Con-
ried years ago that he would paint his
portrait Within few days of the
artists death Mrs. Conried received
from him the promised picture.

of having originated the postmark.
The first one, employed in London as
long ago as 1860, WAS an extremely
simple affair, cYs7s.sting merely Of
small circle diF3%ed into two parts.
At the top there were two letters in
dicating the month, while in the low
er half of the circle was shown the
day of the month. No provision was
made for indicating the year or the
hour of the day. 1t is only by the
date of the letters themselves where
on the mark was impressed that It is
possible to fix the date of its use.

vailing impression that students do
cilely follow the mems fashion jour

dents in a large measure lead the
procession. instead of bringing up the
rear. 1t was college men who popu-
larized the soft straw, the stock,
pumps and the broad cuffs on trous-

affect a style that is too extreme to
be serviceable. But young men in the
business world seem quite content TO
follow in their footsteps at modihed

caps this spring started in this way
and the present resurrection OF bow
ties and piccadilly collars. Fraternity
hatbands on broad-brimmed straws, as
might be expected, are reflected in the
meaningless fancy hatbands down
town. The typical fop that serves to
point the moral usefulness of four

Abject poverty is the condition of
much of Haytis population. There is
brisk demand there for old con-
densed milk, preserve, butter and lard
cans, of which are made practically
all the cooking and table utensils
they use. Old condensed milk cans
have handles put on them and be-
come drinking mugs. Cooking is done
in old five-pound butter and lard
cans. These latter are also the meas
ures universally used for the sale of
corn and other grains and strip.
Petroleum, milk and other liquids are
sold by the bottle, an ordinary quart
wine bottle being used.

Drowned in Two Inches of Water.
An extraordinary fatality was de-
scribed at an inquest held at Lewis
ham, London, recently, on the body of
Ernest William Donoghue, an infant,
eight months old. The mother of the
child said that she left him sitting
in a chair in front of a bread pan
which was used as a bath, and in
which there were two inches OF, wa
ter. When she returned she found
the child head downward in the pan
with the chair on top of him, and he
was evidently dead. Medical evidence
showed that death was due to drown
ing. The doctor said that he had
found a crust of bread in the pan, and
evidently the child had leaned for
ward in an attempt to reach it, and in
so doing had overbalanced.
