UNUSUAL STORY TOLD Er Old Soldier. J)aniel Sechrist, of Akron, O., Another Victim of the Civil War. The amount of suffering' which "War entails is hard to compute. The men who are killed on the battlefield, or who die in the field hospitals, make only a small proportion of the long list of victims which the strife of nations involves. In a large number of cases speedy death in action would be infinitely preferable to the years of suffering which the hardships encountered during the Avar have entailed on the brave men who risked their all and went to the front when their country called. Daniel Sechrist, living at 108 Brewster Alley, Akron, O., is one of these cases, and has spent the last thirty years a con stant, sufferer. Within the past six j months, however, he was suddenly lieved of all disease and will be able to spend the later years of his life in peace. This is what he has to say per for his unlooked for recovery: The Cooper Medicine Co., Gentlemen Ever since my service with the 20Sth Pennsylvania Regiment, during the Rebellion, I have suffered with stomach trouble, and for a long time have been suffering with Asthma. I had long since given up hope of ever being well again and had resigned myself to my trouble. I purchased a bottle of your New Discovery Medicine and began taking it. I have taken only two bottles. After taking the first three doses, I felt grerit relief, and now I am glad to say, that I am entirely cured. Yours gratefullv, DANIEL G. SECHRIST, 108 Brewster Alley, Akron, O. Small wonder that this wonderful medicinal product has become so firmly established in so short a time. It cures sick people. It .has cured thousands of them. It will cure you. If you are suffering from a general run-down condition and feel tired, gloomy and nervous all the time, get a bottle and see how quickly you will be able to look at the brighter side of things, and once more feel that life is worth living.

How American Admiral Saved Beirut From a Massacre. NO BLAISE CARTRIDGES FOR HIM. Commander of American Squadron Told the Vali's Messenger That lie Had "No Plana." bat Pointed to Guns and Men Ready to Land Sultan Saw Pointed Argument of llayonetx and Removed the Tnrkitth Governor. United States Admiral Cotton's masterly tactics saved a most critical situation in Beirut, Syria, three days after his arrival, preventing a general massacre of native Christians and securing against imminent peril the lives, prop erty and honor of American citizens as well as of many Europeans, writes the New York World's special correspondent A great armed mob of Mohammedans had attacked one of the Christian quar ters. shooting, stabbing, backing, mutilating. . looting and destroying. The military yei"e called out. but did not oppose the mob, their coreligionists, with much zeal. A general panic ensued, and people fled to Lebanon iu large numbers. The foreign consuls sent a committee to Admiral Cotton to ask him to be ready to land men to quell the riot This committee was most courteously received, but the ad nil Tci 1 could make no official statement or promise. He was there primarily to protect-Ameri can life and property. His next con cern would be British life and property and then the lives of Europeans and, if possible, their property. The committee was invited on deck to see his preparations for an emer gency. They saw 500 marines under arms, five field guns ready to be sent ashore, steam launches all around the Brooklyn and the San Francisco, with steam up, ready for instant service. A strong guard of marines and a corps of signalmen had already been sent to protect the United States consulate and from the roof of that building to keep the ships Informed of developments. Officers had been sent ashore to ascertain the exact state of affairs and to make all needful plans and preparations for prompt action. The Syrian Protestant college, which stands on a commanding height, was chosen as the base of operations. Points were selected for landing the troops and positions for the guns. All night the war ships' searchlights played upon the town, while steam launches patrolled the shore. On Monday morning. Sept. 14. th;1 vali (Turkish governor) sent a meisenger to ascertain Admiral Cotton'.; plans. The admiral "had no plans." Well, what might be his intentions? He had "no intentions." But what answer shall the messeu ger take to the governor? The messenger was asked if he had observed anything in particular as ho crossed the deck of the Brooklyn. He had observed. "Then," said f.f)e admiral, "tell his excellency exactly what you have seen and aliow me to add that there are no blank cartridges in this outfit." Some attempts to restore order were made on shore that day. It was officially admitted that seventeen persons had been killed In Sunday's riot. Private estimates give a higher figure, and a few more murders occurred on Monday and the following night. But word came that Nazim Pasha, vali of Damascus, was on his way to Beirut with full powers to supersede Rashid Pasha Many had been the consular and ambassadorial representations before a to the necessity of removing Rashid Pasha, but it was remarkable whal point was lent to these arguments in the view cf the sultan by the vision of 500 American bayonets and an admiral who has no use for blank cartridges. Freak of Cards In Whist. Dr. Samuel Uong of New Brunswick, president of the New Jersey Whist association, tells of a remarkable whist hand which was dealt in the rooms of the Elizabeth Whist club recently, says the New York Times. The game was ordinary straight whist. Mr. Ilibbard shu filed the cards thoroughly, an old pack, and handed them to E. K. Grant, who passed them to Ilibbard's partner, Mr. Stearns, to cut. After being cut they were dealt as follows: Ace of diamonds, trump card, all the diamonds in Grant's hand, all the clubs in Stearns' hand, all spades except seven spot in Dr. Samuel Long's band, with seven of hearts; all hearts except seven spot in Ilibbard's hand, with seven of spades. It is said that several witnesses stand ready to back the story. A Featherlesai Broiler. Chrles Robinson of Phillipsburg. near Morristown, N. J., has the latest thing in the way of freaks. His freak la a young pullet about six months old without a sign of feathers or hair on Its body, says the New York Times. The chicken's skin is smooth and velvety to the, touch and is dark yellow In color. Aside from the fact that the chicken has no feathers It is otherwise normal. Mr. Robinson says he is now considering the advisability of breeding from this chick. His idea is that he may be able to produce featherless broilers, which would have a more ready sal than the other kind, upon which the good housewives spend hours in the picking of pin feathers. That a great majority of all deaths occur between 1 and 'S o'clock a. m. was shown by the record of 5.000 cases presented to the British Medical association by Dr. Ilaviland. Forty per cnt more deaths occur in the fifth hour of the morning than In the tenth hour

LONDON'S SHOPLIFTERS.

Uethods Employed by Some of the Stores to Avoid Arrests. Though there is every appearance In all the great London shops that the public is to be trusted implicitly, an elaborate and carefully organized system of espionage prevails to circumvent the designs of the peripatetic thief and the marauding kleptomaniac. "The invisible detective, whose office Is , some unsuspx-ted gallery in the ceiling, whence from artfully designed peepholes in the molding he can survey the whole establishment, is the most successful foil to the shoplifter. But there are only a few shop3 so structurally designed that surveillance of this kind is possible. Some of the jewelers' treasure palaces are guarded in this manner, and to make assurance doubly sure no attendant is without his satellite, who keeps a wary eye on the cases of gems exposed to the customers' inspection, standing at the salesman's elbow while he is showing them. At all periods a careful watch is kept on those 'dress establishments that are pervaded by women, but more especially at sale time, for it is then that eovetousaess overwhelms morality most easily, and the crowded state of the sliops favors the picker up of unconsidered trifles. A manager of one of the largest establishments in the metropolis says it is In those departments that are not spacious that "pilfering principally goes on and that in them detective supervision is always most acute. Every shopwalker and counter at tendant is In effect a detective, but there are some professionals who assume the guise to hide their real position. It is the duty of each attendant when hv is suspicious of a customer to call the attention of the detective to her, not blatantly, but by prearranged sign. Tl e detective then keeps the sus pect unc!er her Immediate eye. In the large en poriums where women chiefly congregate the most efficient, because the least conspicuous, detectives are women, either employed as shopwaikers or as customers. When an attendant misses or thinks he misses something or notices disturbing signs of thievery he speaks to the detective, who, as an elegantly garbed customer, seats herself In a position commanding a good view of the suspect and makes her purchases like any other woman, all the while gathering data upon which to proceed. The dis guise assumed by the shop detectivt differs day by day. If there be one result less desired bj the shop proprietor than another it i to convict a kleptomaniac. Prosecutions do not forward business. Tbe prop-le-tor's policy is to prevent pilfering by every conceivable means. Hence a bit id eye is turned to what is a theft in embryo, and the wretched shoplifter caught in the act of purloining n blouse under cover of her waterproof is asked whether the article may not be sent home for her. To the bulging umbrella or the gaping handbag the detective alludes with an apology, fearing that madam has inadvertently incommoded herself with something that fell from the counter. First offenders are often cured by narrow escapes such as this from fall ing into the abyss that leads to the dock and gladly pay for the experience in coin of the realm as if they had all the while meant to purchase instead of to purloin the goods. Should leniency of such a kind fail to lead the trespasser back into the paths of rectitude the manager's office is made the scene of more serious negotiations, on which it is well to draAV the veil. But as a rule it does not London Mail. MvkinK Old Furniture. Much work is done in New York city in the reproduction of colonial and English furniture, but the best of it costs more to do here than it does abroad. Large quantities of modern "antiques" are also made in Philadelphia and are extensively sold as genuine. Tbe cleverest reproducers in th" world are the French, who copy th minutest details with perfect accuracyOld wood from sheds and barns is used for the backs and interior of articles of furniture, and imitations of old fashioned locks are soaked in water and made to be thickly covered with rust. Bird shot is fired into the reproductions to make them appear worm eaten, and an ancient look is imparted to wood by prolonged polishing and hand rubbing. New York Post. Ilovr to Save Gas Bills. A North Broad street man who has a pas.sion for reading the out of town newspapers and also for answering many of the advertisements be finds In them tells this on himself: The other day he answered an advertisement in one of the New York papers stating that for $1 a method for saving gas bills would be sent. In two days he received a printed slip by mail which -read. "Paste them In a scrapbook." Philadelphia Ledger. . The Soft Answer. Mrs. Enpeck Oh, you needn't talk!

The automobile principle has been applied in Paris to baby carriages. Thenurse sit behind and regulates the speed, which does not exceed a moderate figure. The French government employs 1,550 .workmen and 15.000 women in the state tobacco manufactories and makes a yearly profit of 400,000,000 francs a year. A rich banker st Rainey, France, left a large sum to the town on -condition that his body should be carried through it in state. This has now been done, the local band heading the procession. The French are clamoring for cheaper postage. A letter weighing 2oO grams, which would cost 25 centime (5 cents) in Austria, 10 centimes in Switzerland, would cost 2 francs 55 centimes (51 cents) in France. Large oil lamps bearing the word "Sortie" (exit) are in future to be placed over the doors of egress on the Pari Metropolitan Underground railway, so that, should the electric light fail, passengers will still be able to find theway out WORLD'S FAIR NOTES.

Coats which creep gradually and unnoticeably into sleeves, after the ancient "dolman" pattern, are prominent in all smart displays. Boutpn d'or is the name given by French modistes to an evening dress garniture of rosettelike flowers of gold colored ribbon, appliqued on skirt and bodice. Browns will be much worn for street costumes during the fall and winter. Coffee brown is a new shade that bids fair to be popular, although the darker I browns are more generally -becoming. .
