TAILORS IN BAD. The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel says: Thomas A. Welsh, doing business under the firm name of Wabash Tailors, voluntarily filed a pettiion in bankruptcy in the federal court late Thursday. He lists his assets at $768 and his liabilities at 16,752. The liabilities for the most part are claims of men who have paid moneys on suits which have not been delivered. The majority of the men, of which there are more than 100, have paid about S3O each. Welsh is charged w’ith grand larcency in a complaint filed in Justice of Peace Hughes’ court in connection with his scheme to sell suits of clothes. It is charged that his agents conducted a lottery whereby a club of men paying in $1 a week apiece were either to win a suit or be given a suit of clothes after they had paid in a certain amount.

WAS ON THE VERGE OF BREAKING DOWN — Evansville Contractor Says It Took All His Grit to Stick on Job. "I was on the verge of a complete breakdown when I began taking Tanlac, but I am as well and strong now as I ever was in my life," said William J. Beal, contracting corpenter of 708 Locust St. Evansville, Ind. "My troubles started with indiges tion and for months I was going down hill steadily and losing weight and strength. My back hurt me a good deal, too, especially at night, and I got very little rest. “I weigh my words when I say that in all my sixty years I have never come across the equal of Tanlac. It has simply made a brand new man out of me and I eat. sleep, and feel better than tn years.” Tanlac is sold in Decatur by Smith. Yager & Falk’s and by leading drug gists everywhere. has four components, magnesium, three and lithium, two. For more than 100 years it has been taught that these substances were fundamental elements. In addition, Dr. Dempster claims evidence shows that all elements derive from some fundamental basic, which is probably hydrogen. Until further experiments are commercial value which would accrue from the discoveries, highly important at present only in the theoretical field of chemistry. BERNHARDT BUYS HER BURIAL PLACE Paris, Dec. 17.—With the purchase of a tiny inlet in the Bay of Biscay. Sarah Bernhardt has practically completed preparations for her death. The little rocky island is only a few acres in extent, lying a numberof miles off mainland near Belle Isle, where she has a summer home. Bernhardt has specified that she be buried on the island. The island was purchased from the French government for 1,200 francs. It is understood that Bernhardt has made detailed plans for her funeral and the design for the tomb to be erected upon the isle. It is wellknown that she already has purchased I the casket in which she desires to be I interred. Despite these preparations Bernhardt is as lively and vivacious as ever. She is appearing every night in “La Gloire” at her theatre and critics declare that her art .is as great as at any time in her career.
