Three Trains, Including “Twentieth Century Limited,’’ Piled Up by Double Smash. ’Thirty persons were killed and 4 0 or more were Injured in a wreck which Occurred at Amherst, Ohio. 3 7 miles west of Cleveland, at about 3:30 o’clock Thursday morning on the New York Central road. Two passenger trains, known as section Nos.. I and 2 of the Chicago-Pitts-burgh’ were proceeding along bbout one mile apart through a dense fog when section No. 1 received a signal to stop at Amherst. The wreck occurred as the train was gathering speed after the stop, section No. 2 plowing through the rear coaches and killing or injuring most of the occupants thereof. Some of the coaches of section No. 1 were toppled over onto one of the three other tracks at this point just as the “Twentieth Century Limited” was approaching, and the latter train was derailed except for the three rear coaches as a result of the collision with the overturned cars. The car in which many persons were killed burned like tinder. The stork was blamed in part by Lake Shore railroad officials for the terrible wreck. According to a hasty investigation made by General Superintendent A. S. Ingalls, the first train which stopped through a blunder on the part of the tower signal man, whose wife gave birth To a baby on Sunday and who had been practically without sleep since then. Just how he blundered has not been made clear, but it is believed that he set the block signal from white to red, forcing the first train to come to a halt.

Catarrh Deafness Cannot Be'jCured By local applications, as they cannot reach the deceased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the 'Eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en ti rely closed, deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of catarrh deafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure; Circulars free. At all druggists, 75c.—F. ,J. CHENEY & CO.. Toledo, Ohio.

Plan a New Calendar.

For the benefit of those individuals who February 29th celebrated their first birthday since 1912, and who may feel more or less resentful because they have only one birthday while every one else is having to r, let this be a word of cheer. They may regain their lost birthdays. ’ If a group of volunteer calendar reformers have their way, February 29 th will go down in history a s the last February 29. If the European war could have been postponed a year or two there possibly would have been no February 29 this year. The war interrupted the International Congress to revise the calendar. which had just called to do away with leap year, unequal months and other mistakes generally attributed to Julius Caesar and Pope Gregory XIII. This congress was to have rearranged the whole calendar into 13 months of four weeks each. Every month would begin on Sunday and end on Saturday. Thirteen months of 28 days each would account for 364 days of the year. The extra day would be tacked on th? end as a world holiday.

Now, for the February 29 folk. They will regain a birthday for the reason that the whole calendar will be jumbled and there will have to be a new deal of birthdays for every one. -Philadelphia North American.
