CUNARD LINER BURNS
LUCANIA SUNK TO PREVENT TO-
TAI DESTRUCTION
Big Vessel Is Quilted from tunnels For
ward at Liverpool Dock and Firemen
Fight Futile Battle

LIVERPOOL, Aug. 1G.-The Cunard
lines steamer Lucania lies submerged at
the Huskisson dock, seriously damaged
having been almost Quilted from her fun
nels forward by fire which broke out on
board the liner at o'clock Saturday
night. The flames are supposed to have
originated in the saloon kitchen.
The fire brigade of the vessel, with
two powerful motor engines. turned out
Immediately at the first alarm and found
the first saloon burning tiercely from
end to end. Despite all their efforts the
flames gradually worked forward until
they reached the steerage, consuming
every particle of the woodwork there,
and, then practically destroyed the fore
hold.
At this time the heat was tremendous
ana the flames. shooting high from the
vessel, attracted thousands of persons to
the side of the river. where they re-
manned throughout the night.
At 8 O'Clock Sunday morning it was
decided to flood the vessel by admitting
water into her from the dock Soon she
heeled over and her tunnels came in
contact with the cranes on the dock and
were badly damaged A half dozen fire
men who were on the ganeway at this
time were thrown into the water, but all
were rescued. \ fleet of tugs then was
brought into requisition and pulled the
liner upright and held her until she set
tied firmly on the mud bottom.
The second-class quarters and the
whole after part of the boat. including
the engine room, escaped injury from
the flames and comparatively slight
damage was done to the exterior of the
vessel. Her upper part is considerably
above water The first saloon skylights
were destroyed and the decks forward
are badly buckled. Some of the plates
of the hull We're warped by the heat.
The repairs to the Lucania will occupy
considerable time.

PRAY DURING A PANIC.
Holy Jumpers Get on Knees When
Storm Whips Tent Pole About
in Crowd.

WAUKESHA, Wis. Aug. 18.-[ Spe-
cial. lin Il wild panic Sunday after
noon following the collapse of a large
tent at the Fountain house grounds in
which the Holy Jumpers" were holding
their camp meeting. several persons
were painfully injured and many others
escaped with slight bruises During the
panic many members of the sect re-
maned on their knees praying
The most seriously injured were:
Freda Goldman, scalp wounds, bad cuts
on face and body badly bruised; Robert
Farrell, cuts on head and face, and Sc
we're bruises on body; Mabel Eaton, cuts
and bruises on head and arms; Mrs.
Soee, cut and bruised on head and arms
The afternoon camp meeting was in
progress when the storm, which came up
suddenly, struck the big tent. The cen
ter pole, 80 feet high. was shaken loose
and dangling by ropes was whipped
about over the heads of the crowd which
became panic stricken in an effort to get
out of the tent.
The crowd had scarcely started on its
mad rush when the canvas collapsed on
the heads of the fleeing people and that
many persons were not trampled to
death seems a miracle.

Apple Graft on Haw Tree.

An enterprising farmer of Hamilton
county in some way got an idea that the
native haw tree is so near related to
the apple tree that to graft the apple
into the haw root would bring the de-
sired results. and now he is the proud
possessor of healthy and vigorous or
chard of apple trees that do themselves
proud in producing apples up to the
standard The apple has been success
fully grated into the crabapple. But
the crabapple is rather limited in its
range in Florida, while some seven diff
ferent species of the haw are found to
be in the state. ranging from the south
ernmost part to northern Florida.-Chip-

MARIE ANNE, NOT MARIANNE.
How Compromise Satisfied French Law
and Child's Parents.

An amusing story Of compromise is
mentioned in a Paris contemporary, says
the London Globe. 1t seems that the
law of France requires parents to name
their children either after the saints in
the calendar or from a parsonage in his
tory. A citizen of Troyes went to the
register to inscrbe the name of his little
daughter, whom he wished to be known
as Marianne.
The registrar adjusted his spectacles,
scratched his head and then declared It
was impossible. Marianne did not COM
ply with either the requirements. FL
nally the matter was arranged to the
satisfaction of both the parent and the
registrar. To the child was given the
name of Marie Anne. To the parents it
was almost what they wanted and the
law was satisfied

BAD DREAMS
Caused by Coffee.

II have been coffee drinker, more
or less, ever since l can remember.
until few months ago l became moro
and more nervous and irritable. and
finally l could not sleep at night, for
! was horribly disturbed by dreams OF
all sorts and a species Of distressing
nightmare.
Finally, after hearing the expert
ence Of numbers Of friends who had
quit coffee and were drinking Postum.
and learning of the great benefits they
had derived, I concluded coffee must
be the cause of my trouble. SO l got
some Postum and had it made strict
ly according to directions.
II was astonished at the flavor and
taste. 1t entirely took the place OF
coffee, and to my very great satisfac-
ton, l began to sleep peacefully and
sweetly. My nerves improved, and l
wish l could wean every man, woman
and child from the unwholesome drug
ordinary coffee.
People really do not appreciate or
realize what powerful drug 1t is and
what terrible effect it has on the hui
man system. II they did, hardly
pound of 1t would be sold. / would
never think Of going back to coffee
again. / would almost as soon think
Of putting my hand in a fire after l
had once been burned.
"A young lady friend Of ours had
stomach trouble for long time, and
could not get we'll as long as she used
coffee. She finally quit coffee and be-
gan the use Of Postum and Is now per-
fectly well. Yours for health"

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.

Whole Body Mass of Raw, Heed

Fell Out-Hoped Death Would End
Fearful SuferinE-in Despair
Cured by Cuticurn.
Words cannot describe the terrible
eczema l suffered with. 1t broke out
on my head and kept spreading until
it covered by whole body. | was al
most a solid mass Of sores from head
to foot l looked more like a piece Of
raw beef than a human being The
pain and agony l endured seemed more
than | could bear. Blood and pus
oozed from the great sore on my scalp,
from under my finger nails. and near
~ all over my body. My ears were so
crusted and swollen l was afraid they
would break Off. Every hair In my
head fell out l could not sit down,
for my clothes would stick to the raw
and bleeding flesh, making me cry out
from the pain. My family doctor did
all he could, but I got worse and
worse My condition was awful. I
did not think I could live, and wanted
death to come and end my frightful
sufferlngs.
"1n this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edes. l said would, but had no hope
Of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief l experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment 1t cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep l had had in weeks. It
was as grateful as ice to burning
tongue. l would battle with warm
water and Cuticura Soap. then apply
the Ointment freely. l also took Cuti-
cura ResOlvent for the blood In
short time the sores stopped running.
the flesh began to heal, and | knew
was to get we'll again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in q
short time | was completely cured.

HIS WAS CUSTER'S FATE
Mystery of Wisconsin Mans Death Is
Caused by Finding of Little
BighOrn Records.

Ia CROSSE, Wis, Aug. 1G.--A plain
white marker on the famous battlefield
of the Little Bighorn, the scene of Gus
ter's last stand, has solved a mystery
which has remained unexplained since
1S7G-the fate of Mark Kellogg, then
one of the leading citizens of this sec
ton. l.. Fred EaSton, a La Crosse mil
lionaire and Norris G.. Bachelor, former
~ an alderman here and now an irriga-
ton promoter in that vicinity, found the
grave.
Kellogg, a hotel proprietor in the early
days in La Crosse, was one of the west
ern correspondents for the New York
Herald and was assigned to go with
Clusters expedition.
That he died in the famous Custer bat
tie of the Little Bighorn, just outside of
what is now the village of Hardin, is
proved by records found there by La
Crosse men.
