WILL BE A DEACONESS.

Path of Life Chosen by a Daughter of Ex-Senator Ingalls. Miss Ethel Ingalls has entered upon her duties as a deaconess of the Protestant Episcopal Church? She has entered the house of deaconesses at Philadelphia for a probationary period. Then, if she feels herself spiritually, mentally and physically fit for the life and work of a deaconess and the board of admission approves of her she will enter upon her studies. After two years she may be ordained by the Bish-

op of Pennsylvania. A deaconess of the Episcopal Church renounces the happiness of married life. “If she were married,” the house mother of the deaconesses said naively, “she would have to obey her husband. If she is a deaconess she must give her first obedience to the bishop. The two men might clash.” A deaconess devotes herself to alleviating suffering, to helping those who need help, temporal or spiritual. She comforts the sick in the hospitals, she visits charitable institutions, she tries to obtain w’ork for the unemployed. Sometimes she goes out as a trained nurse, sometimes she furthers college settlement work. In a word, a deaconess is at once a woman and a ministering angel.

Current Condensations.

The London Stock Exchange has an orchestra composed of the members of the finest amateur musical organizations in the city. A mill employing fifty men is now engaged in making paper from the bagasse, or sugar cane refuse, which was once the greatest nuisance to the sugar grower. A woman of 97, now living in the South, recently had a proposal of marriage. She is Western by birth, is said to be wonderfully attractive and looks thirty years younger than she is. It Is purposed to remove the Grant statue in St. Louis from 12th street to Washington square, near the new city hall, mainly, apparently, to give unimpeded way for street car traffic. A “new” father in a Missouri town found a S2O gold piece tucked into the lining of a baby carriage he bought there, and in twenty-four hours there wasn’t a baby carriage left on sale" in the place. The broom factory in Colchester is to start up very soon with a full force of blind people. This institution is run by the Connecticut institute and industrial home for the blind, and will make all kinds of brooms. Prizes amounting to $15,000 and sl*s,000 Mexican money have been offered by the Mexican Ministry of Education and Public Works for the best design for a capitol building. The building is to cost $1,500,000, and to be Juo Eqiisre. One of Gen. Gordon's empty uniform cases, marked with his name, was found in one of the dervish boats recently captured by Gen. Hunter at El Dameth, near Berber, Africa. The case has been sent home to Gen. Gorden’s family. The British museum has books written on bricks, tiles, oyster shells, bone* and fiat stones, together With manuscripts on bark, ivory, leather, parchment, papyrus, lead, iron, copper and wood. It also has three copies of the Bible written on the leaves of the fan palm. “Pittsburg Is to light London.” It Is with this somewhat broad statement that a smoky city newspaper announces the fact that the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company has received an order from the Metropolitan Supply Company of London for an electric-lighting plant. The order calls for three dynamos of about 3,000 horse power each. The cost is estimated at about $450,000.

WRECK ON THE RAIL.

A TERRIBLE DISASTER ON THE NEW YORK CENTRAL. Fast Express with a Load of Slumbering Passengers Makesan Awful Leap Into the Hudson-Goes Over the Embankment to Destruction. Many Lives Lost. A disastrous raflroad accident occurred on the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, a short distance below Garrison’s station, early Sunday morning. The train was the State express, due in New York at 7:30 o’clock, and was made up of engine No. 872, a combination baggage and express car, a smoker, two ordinary passenger coaches and four sleepers, in charge of Conductor Parish. The train left Albany at 3:15 o’clock, on time, and was going at a good rate of speed when it passed Garrison's. It was a mile and a half below there when the accident occurred. Conductor Parish says the track seemed to fall out from under the train, the train seemed to shoot into the air, and the next minute it appeared to fall into the river. Into the waters of the Hudson the ears plunged, draggwigthrough the water the helpless passengers. There was nothing to presage the terrible accident which so suddenly deprived so many human beings of life. Two cars were left on the track. The engine did not stop until it lay submerged fifty feet below the surface. The two forward cars followed and were piled upon the engine. The smoker and two following ordinary cars broke from the train and ran some distance along the bank and then into the water. Two of the sleeping cars ran into the river, but fortunately were left only partly under water, the windows toward the shore being left above the surface. First reports gave the total number of known dead at nineteen; the estimated number, twenty-eight. Neither engineer nor firehian will ever tell the story of that terrible moment, for, with his hand upon the throttle, the engineer plunged with his engine to the river bottom, and the fireman, too, was at Ills post. Behind them came the express car, the combination car and the sleepers, and these piled on top of the engine. It is known that it was a trifle foggy and that the track was not visible! but if there was any break in the lines of steel it must have been of very recent happening, for only anjrour before there had passed over it a heavy passenger train laden with human freight. The section of road was supposed to be the very best on the entire division. There was a great heavy retaining wall all along tile bank, and, while the tide was high Sunday, .t was not unprecedented. What stH'nfs to have happened was that underneath the tracks and ties the heavy wall had given way and when the great, weight of the engine struck the unsupported tracks it went crashing through the rest of the wall and toppled over into the river. As the train plunged over the embankment the coupling that held the last twe of tlie six sleepers broke and they miraculously remained on the broken track? — In that way some sixty lives were saved.

contract from the Government to build some wagons their business icceivcd such an impetus that they called their brother into the partnership. Prosperity continued to eonie their way and eventually they had the largest manufacturing institution of its kind in the world and the three brothers wore millionaires. Peter Studebaker took an active interest in public affairs and was more or less intimately associated with Indiana polities, though he never sought office. One of the noteworthy incidents of his life was the erection of a monument over the unmarked grave of Lincoln’s mother, in Spencer County, Ind.

A Costly Quarantine.

The quarantine regulations have been enforced in the Southern districts infected with yellow fever at a cost to the commerce of New Orleans and other cities estimated at nearly $40,000,000, Sanitary measures which would have prevented the epidemic would have been decidedly cheaper.

A CHILD’S RECOVERY

FROM PARALYSIS AND SIX YEARS OF CONVULSIONS. Little Fannie Adame of Umatilla Cured of a Dreadful Malady—A Cure of Unusual Interest—A Reporter Investigates. From the Lake Rejion, Eustis, Fla. For some time past the Lake Region has been receiving reports from Umatilla, Fla., of an almost miraculous cure that had been effected in the case of Fannie Adams, a daughter of A. J. Adams, of that place, and last Saturday a representative of this paper made a trip to Umatilla for the purpose of determining the authenticity of the same. The family live a short distance from the village, where it was found that the a pie were cognizant of the cure which been effected, and were rejoicing with the family in their new-found happiness. The father, A. J. Adams, is a hard-working honest farmer from East Tennessee, and the family came to Florida four years ago in the hope that a change of climate would be of benefit to their afflicted child. Much of their earnings have gone for doctors’ bills, whose services proved unavailing. The representative was greeted—by—Mrs. Adams, from whom he gained the story of her great trial. Fannie, the youngest child, was born in East Tennessee, and was seven years old on the third day of February, 1897. When ten months old she was stricken with paralysis, which affected the entire left side. This stroke of paralysis was followed by convulsions, and from the time little Fannie was ten months old until February, 1897, there was not a single day or a night that she did not have spasms of the most distressing nature. Not a single convulsion, but always three or four, and sometimes as high as ten in one day. The family was all broken down with care, and Mrs. Adams states that for one year she did not go into her kitchen to superintend her household work. All the fingers of the right hand of the little girl are enlarged and misshapen, caused by her biting therh during the fearful suffering. The case baffled the skill of the best physicians, and they were frank to say that they could not determine the cause, or prescribe a remedy to aid the afflicted child. But what a change now in that household; for little Fannie has recently been released from her six years of agony, which brings the light of happiness to the faces of the parents. In January, this year, Mrs. Adams, who had purchased some of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People for her fourteen-year-old daughter, determined to try their effect upon little Fannie. After three or four doses she noted an improvement and then told the father what she had done. He at once went to the village and bought another box, and up to this time six boxes have been used. The fir. t pills, Mrs. Adams states, were given in January, the latter part, and certainly not earlier than the fifteenth or twentieth, and the child had her last convulsion on February 3d, nearly three months ago. Her general condition has improved in every way, and it was not a month after the first pills were taken when she began to walk without assistance. The pills were bought at the drug store of Dr. Shelton, in Umatilla. In answer to the question, did he, to his personal knowledge, know that the remedy had benefited Fannie Adams, as was stated by her parents, the doctor said- that he was a regular practicing physician, and as such was loth to recommend any proprietary medicine, but still he was ready to do justice to all men, and he did kpow that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People hud benefited Fannie Adams, and also volunteered the information that he kn?w of other children in the village who had been benefited by their, use. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow eheeks. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2,50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

Pathetic Incident.

An exchange prints a pretty and pathetic story said to have been related by Prof. Gallaudet, the well-known instructor of deaf mutes. The professor has a favorite pupil—a little deaf mute boy, exceptionally bright. Mr. Gallaudet asked him if he knew the story of George 'Washington and the cherry tree. With his nimble fingers the little one said he did, and proceeded to repeat it. The noiseless gesticulations continued until the boy had informed the professor of the elder Washington’s discovery of the mutilated tree and of his quest for tfie mutilator. “When George’s father asked him who hacked his favorite cherry tree,” signaled the voiceless child, “George put his hatchet in his left hand ” “Stop,” interrupted the professor. “Where do you get your authority for saying he took the hatchet in his left hand ?” “Why,” responded the boy. “he needed his right hand to tell his father that he cut the tree.”

Hope Deferred.

“I’m afraid,” said the Arctic explorer, “we won’t find the North Pole this trip.” “Guess not,” replied his shivering companion; ’‘we’ll have to state that the discovery has been postponed on account of the weather.”—Puck.

The New Food Drink.

Half the “coffee” you drink Isn’t coffee anyway; but even if it were Mocha and Java, the new food-drink, Grain-O, is better. There is nothing In it to, hurt, while in coffee there is. The better the coffee —the less adulteration —the more injurious. Grain-O is made from pure grains, has the rich color of good coffee, sets nicely oh the most delicate stomach, Is fine for children, is nourishing, and keeps nobody awake nights. Drink as much as you please at a late dinner or supper and you don’t get up In the morning saying, “Oh, my head, my head!” Try it a week or two and you won’t go back to the old beverage. And then the cost—four cups of Grain-0 at the price of one cup of coffee. Ask your grocer for a package. Two sizes—lsc. and 25c.

From Bad to Worse.

An English gentleman was walking with a friend in Unter den Linden, in Berlin, and In the course of a discussion on the Kaiser’s conduct committed a grievous error of Majestats-Belei-digung. , “The Emperor’s a— fool!” he exclaimed, whereupon an English-speak-ing police officer tapped him on the shoulder and said: “You must come mid me to ze police station.” “What for?” asked the Englishman. “Mein herr did call ze Kaiser a fool,” replied the man. “No, no,” urged the cute Briton; “It was the Russian Emperor I was speaking about.” “Dat vill not vash,” went on the constable; “dere is no Emperor a fool except the German Emperor.” If afflicted with scalp diseases, hair falling out, and premature baldness, do not use grease or alcoholic preparations, but apply Hall’s Hair Renewer.
