5 LIVES LOST In
FIRE AT ASYLUM
EIGHT HUNDRED MANIAcS SAVED
BY BRAVERY OF NURSES
AND ATTENDANTS.
Madmen Fight Off Rescuers, Rush
Back Into Burning Stu cture and
Are Incinerated AIive-Some of the
Rescuers Injured.

Hamilton, Ont, Aug. Eight lives
were lost today in a fire which partly
destroyed one of the main buildings
of the local insane asylum.
Eight hundred patients were in the
building when the fire was discov-
cred, and a well trained fire fighting
corps and GOODNESS and bravery of
nurses and attendants alone averted
more frightful loss of life.
Maniacs Fight Rescuers.
Four buildings are in the group of
asylum buildings, the main structure
being one of four stories. Women pa
tients numbering $50 occupied the left
wing, and these were removed with
out difficulty.
The situation among the men was
much more serious, however, and
many desperate flights occurred in
their wards. A score of the most
hopeless maniacs were driven mad by
the sitting smoke, and fought their
rescuers furiously. Some of these,
after being rescued, fled back into
the burning buildings and were incin-
Grated alive.
Rescuers Injured.
Several rescuers were seriously in
jured in their battle with the maniacs,
and pandemonium reigned for several
hours. The shrieks of insane women
were combined with the hoarse cries
of the men and terror reigned for a
time. The bravery of nurses and
other attendants was remarkable.

FARMERS FREE LIST BILL
is PASSED IN SENATE

Washington, Aug. 1.-The farmers
free list bill, the second of the big
tariff revision measures that followed
Canadian reciprocity over from the
democratic house, met final action
without further debate in the senate
today.
Through a storm that centered
mostly in conference and caucus, the
free list bill rocked on fluctuating
sentiments while democrats and insur-
gent republicans talked and figured
on political advantage, and emerged
for vote Immediately at the close OF
routine business.
The bill dates back to April 18th
when Democratic Leader Underwood
introduced it in the house. The free
list bill would place on the free list
agricultural implements, cotton bag
ging, cotton ties, leather boots, shoes
fence wire, meats, cereals, flour
bread, timber, lumber, sewing ma
chimes, salt and other articles. The
exemptions are due to take effect the
day following approval of the meas
ure.
The house farmers free list bill
exempting from tariff duties a variety
of agricultural implements, cereals
meats, cotton bagging and other arti
cles, was defeated by the senate by g
tie vote of 80 to 80.
Its democratic trainers claimed that
in effecting a great saving to tht
people generally it involved net re
duction of little over $8,000,000 il
tariff revenue.

NEW SHELLS ON MANSFIELD.
Many Bushels Being Placed on the
Street West from Newcastle.

Mansfield street, from Newcastle to
the bay, is to be repaved with oyster
shells. The city street force is now
busy placing the new shells and many
hundred bushels will be used in the
work. The street, being one of the
widest in the city, will require an un
usually large number of shells. It is
badly in need of paving, however, as
travel over this portion of the street
to and from the boats, is heavy.
Other improvements are being made
in various places over the city. Nor
wich street, out by the baseball park

impossible for him to have done 1t

1t was the work of some of the other
negroes on the island and is at loss

charged it to him, as he had not had
any previous trouble with them.
Reports from Cumberland are to the

From ShOpmaidS to PampGrGd
DANES Of Society
AdultGratiOn Of Liquors Making Them
More Injurious to Health---Curing
the Drink Evil By Hypnotic SuggGS-
ton is the Very Latest.

Baltimore, Md, April 26.-At the
convention of the American Society
for the Study of Alcohol and Other
Narcotics at the Hotel Belvedere, Dr.
John D. Quackenbos, of New York,
told OF his success in the cure Of
drunkenness by means of hypnotic
suggestion.
Drinking Among Women.
After saying that more than bill
lion and a quarter Of dollars worth
OF alcoholic drinks are consumed an
nualIy in the United States, Dr..
Quackenbos declared that the drink
habit is growing, especially among
women, from "the shopmaid and the
nymph du pave to the pampered
danes of society School misses and
college girls are conspicuous among
the throng. When the constraints Of
self-respect break down with the
moral elements Of the brain cells,
gross indiscretions are natural con-
sequence"
After showing the many diseases
caused by alcoholism, the speaker
said many drinks are adulterated and
thus made more dangerous to health.
"Amylic ether" he said, ''or the whis-
key trade, IS the deaths river setting
in resistless current toward murder,
robbery misusage of women, paresis
and the asylum"
DR.. Quackenbos stated that he had
treated more than a thousand cases
by hypnotic suggestion, accomplish
ing nearly so per cent. Of cures. $50,
he said Tin the language of Helena,
.'AIrs Well.
'''Our remedies oft in ourselves do
lie, which we ascrlbe to Heaven"
After describing his method Of put
ting the patient to sleep, DR.. Quack-
enbos said:
"He is assured that in accordance
with MS own u6SlIt anu uEIItC ~
has lost all craving for beer, whiskey,
wine; that alcohol in any form will
disgust him, and as safeguard, he
cannot swallow it, cannot carry it in
glass to his lips
While suggestion played an impor-
tant part, DR.. Quackenbos stated that
physical ailments due to excessive use
OF alcohol had to be treated sepa-
rately in order that perfect health
might be restored
1T would be immoral" he said, 10
suggest to the patient what the brain
and nerve organs are incapable Of do
