Tho History of a Week Gathered from the Wires, Embracing Political Doings, Personal Movements, Accidents, Criminal Affairs, Labor Notes, Etc. HAVOC BY CYCLONE. Fatal Elemental Disturbance at Clements, Kansas. In a disastrous cyclone that passed over Clements, Chase County, Kansas, Capt. Brown and his daughter were killed, his wife had a leg almost torn off, and his eon had an arm and a leg broken. It is reported that six or seven other persons were killed, but the wires are down and no reliable information can be obtained. John l’antle, conductor of a stock train, who passed through Clements just after the cyclone, was in plain sight of part of its destructive doings. The cloud looked square-shaped, like a house with its lower portion surrounded by a white cloud, looking like steam, which seemed to rise from all around the mam dark cloud. As it came through tue timber it cut a clean swath, apparently destroying everything in its path, and when it struck the Cottonwood Biver it looked as if it was cutting paths through the river, pulling up the water on both sides. He saw Capt. Brown s stone house demolished, another with the roof and one side torn off, and still another lifted and carried from its foundations. The storm crossed the railroad in three places, and seemed to have made a partial ■ circle, going over nearly the same path a second time. Its path was about fifty yards wide, and there is little doubt ot much damage and more deaths having occurred further from the road. GOOD TEMPLAR CONVENTION, Convention of the Right Worthy Grand Lodge ot Good Templars. The Right Worthy Grand Lodge of the World of the Independent Order of Good Templars is in session at Chicago. AV W. Trumbull, Right Worthy Grand Tomplar, erf Glasgow, Scotland, presides. The other officers who answered to the roll call were Dr. Oranhyotohe, of Ontario, Canada; Mis. Bookbank, of Indiana; Miss Forsyth, of Massachusetts; U. Copp, of Illinois, and Rev. AV. S. Laue, of Nova Scotia. Almost every State in the Union is represented. This order is the largest international temperance organization in the world and contains over one hundred grand lodges having jurisdiction over as many separate counties, States and Territories. Under these grand lodges are an aggregate of 10,114 local lodges, with 670,000 adult and juvenile members. BASE-BALL BATTERS. Standing of the Clubs That Are Contending for First Place.

Over 10.000 People Left Homeless--The Emperor’s Aid. A FIRE occurred on May 3 at Gokote- I Akita-Ken, Japan, destroying over 1,000 ] houses The fire originated about 10 o’clock at night in the residence of the Shiota Gonshiro nnd was not extinguished until (i o’clock of the second morning. । Over twenty persons were burned to death, ! and nearly one hundred injured. Ten । thousand people are homeless. The Emperor headed a list for financial aid for the sufferers with a personal subscription of SI,OOO. The St. Paul Statement. The statement of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway shows the gross earnings were $1,819,531, against $1,825,698 for the corresponding month a vear ago, a decrease of $6,167; operating expenses were $1,340,759, aga nst sl,482,694, a decrease of $142,135; and net earnings of $478,771, against $342,803, an increase of $135,967. For the lour months of the calendar year ending April 30 the net earnings were $2,050,960, against $996,133 for the corresponding period in the preceding year increase of $1,054,827. Officers in “Little Rhody.” In joint assembly the Senate and House of Rhode Island appointed a committee to count the votes for general officers. The committee reported no election by the people, except for Attorney General, and the Assembly elected and inaugurated the following Republicans: Herbert AV. Ladd, Governor; D. 11. Littlefield, Lieutenant Governor; L. H. Cross, Secretary of State; Samuel Clark, Treasurer. Indicted for Cronin’s Murder. The grand jury, at Chicago, has indicted Detective Coughlin. P. O. Sullivan, nnd Woodruff, alias Black, for complicity in the murder of Dr. Cronin. John L. as a Wrestler. At Cincinnati John L. Sullivan and William Muldoon wrestled ten rounds under London rules. F ch stripped at about 220 pounds, and each won five falls.* EASTERN OCCURRENCES. While a bucket of broken rocks weighing over a ton was being hoisted to the surface in the new Pettibone shaft of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad near Kingston, Pa., the wire rope broke, letting the bucket fall nearly one thousand feet upon ten men engaged in blasting at the bottom. Edward Jones was instantly killed, and James < oyle, Samuel Cessman, Cornelius Conn, George Veet, and George Cresley mangled so that they will die. The other men were less seriously injured. Preston Algard was killed by lightning near Lombard, Md. A bomb, made from a piece of gaspipe after the general style of those used by the Chicago anarchists, was hurled through a window of the handsome residence of Mrs. M. E. Weld, a wealthy widow living at Jamaica Plain, a Boston suburb, a few evening ago. The room in which it lodged was wrecked and the house set on fire. Fortunately none of the inmates were injured. No clew to the miscreant or the reason for the attack has been found. In the Bishop inquest at New York the mind-reader’s mother and several doctors testified that Bishop had been subject all his life to trances, in which he appeared

to be dead, and was dead according to all medical tests. These trances lasted from a few hours to a week. Laura Bridgman, Bostons noted blind and deaf mute, died at the Perkins Institute for the Blind at Boston. She was made widely famous by Charles Dickens in his ‘’American Notes.” While Anthony Zeesnhold, Henry AViltholder, and James Dolan were at work in Otto Colliery, at Branchdale, Pa., they were overcome by a sudden outburst of gas and suffocated. The Rev. James H. Harding, aged 81 years, formerly Chancellor of the diocese of Connecticut, died at the St. Francis Orphan Asylum at New Haven, Conn., where for some time he had been acting as chaplain. The Young Men’s Democratic Club of New York City extended a banquet of welcome to ex-President Cleveland at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Nearly five hundred of the leaders of the Democratic I party were present. The enthusiasm ! evoked by the presence of Mr. Cleveland was enthusiastic. The cheers were ! long and loud when the ex-President entered the banquet hall. He submitted to the handshaking of the many guests for an hour before t iking his seat at the table, and appeared in the best spirits. All factions of the Democracy ; were represented at the banquet—Tnm- ■ many, the County Democracy, officers of I the Reform Club, and of the various other Democratic clubs of the city. At Watertown, N. Y., Cornelius Donnelly hanged himself, under the belief that his wife would come to his rescue before death resulted. He had previously feigned to cut his throat and had also pretended to strangle himself, so that his wife did not think that he was in earnest. Donnelly wanted to get control of his wife’s property, amounting to about $16,000. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. The city of Leavenworth, Kan., celebrated the discovery of coal at the New Home mine with speeches and parade. The contract for building a $200,000 । paper and pulp mill at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., has been signed. At Guthrie, Oklahoma, E. A. Weed, claimant to a lot, also claimed by Mr. Hayes, engaged a large force of men and began to erect a building over and around the other claimant. The aggrieved party was soon re-enforced by a large party of friends and idlers, and soon a crowd of 500 persons was collected After the contestants had engaged in a wordy quarrel, : at a preconcerted signal the frame of the ; building, which consisted of the floor, beams and foundation sills, was pick:ed up by the crowd nnd carried into the street. In doing this, part of the men carrying the frame, stumbled over a pile of lumber, and men and timbers were piled in a confused mass. AVhile the disturbance was at its height, United States Marshal Needles arrived and commanded the crowd to disperse. Meeting with opposition, he sent for the troops. There was much excitement and several fights, but as soon as the bluecoats were seen coming the turbulent element quieted down, and soon the carpenters were at work, with the military formed in a hollow square around the site of the proposed structure. One man, named John Gilchrist, was clubbed by a soldier for not obeying the sentinel’s orders. The recent rain falls over the northern portions of the winter wheat region and throughout the corn and wheat region of ' the Northwest have improved the growing crops in those sections. The weather has been favorable for all growing crops throughout the Northwest and tin central valleys. The crop prospects have been greatly improved in the States of the Ohio Valley by the timely rains, but some damage resulted to fruits in this section from late frosts. Throughout the States of the corn and wheat belt the weather has improved the condition of the principal crops, although frosts caused some , damage to early corn and vegetables in I Minnesota. । The residence of Emanuel Smith, near St. Mary’s, Ohio, was destroyed by fire. A boy named Copsey, who had been stopping with the Smiths, had been 1 rescued from the flames, but while over- > come with fright and before he could be ! caught rushed back into the midst of the fire and perished. The funeral of Dr. Cronin occurred from the Cathedral of the Holy Name. Chicago. Over 8,000 men from various Irish societies marched in the procession and the streets for miles were crowded with people anxious to see the cortege. While Rev. J. C. Myers, of State Line, Ind., was filling the pulpit of the New’ Liberty (Ind.) Christian Church, a blinding bolt of lightning descended, struck and destroyed the church chimney. Following along the stovepipe, which ran around the room, it crushed the two j stoves into fragments and tore up the floor. After leaving the chimney the bolt separated and a portion of it ran down the chandelier, over the pulpit, striking Mr. Myers in the back of the head. He turned a somersault, fell heavily to the floor and w’as thought to be dead. He laid in an unconscious condition for more than half an hour. Several persons in the large congregation were shocked into insensibility, but soon recovered. On the back of Mr. Myers’ head where the lightning struck him i u bruised place about the size of a silver dollar. His face appears burnt, and his sight is nearly destroyed. Physicians fear that tho loss of vision will be permanent and complete. An unknown woman, while walking in the most aristocratic part of Wichita, Kan., about 6 o’clock the other evening, was bound and gagged by two men who drove rapidly up behind her and carried her away in a covered carriage. Her cries attracted the attention of L. AV. Cl ipp and G. AV. Blackwell, two bankers, who were j the only witnesses to the occurrence; but before they could reach her the men were around the corner and out of sight. The | woman was about 25 years of age and I richly dressed. She had arrived in the ' city, as an investigation showed, the day | before. She refused to register at the | hotel at which she stopped, but said that her name was Mrs. Rinehart, from Cin- ! cinnati. It is stated that Rinehart is not the woman’s name, but that she comes of a prominent Illinois family, and that the two men had been hired to put her out of the way. A. Leonard Meyer, ex-Mayor of Phoenix, Arizona, charged with absconding with about $6,000 belonging to the Wells-Fargo Express Company, was arrested at San Francisco, Cal., on the arrival of the steamer Mexico from A’icI toria, B. C. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. The residence of the Rev. F. C. Clarke, near Virginia Beach, in Princess Anne County, Va., was destroyed by a midnight fire. He and two daughters and next to the oldest son and a niece visiting him were consumed by the flames. His wife, Miss Ella Bidgood, the governess, and two children esc <ped. The origin of the fire is unknown, thou.h it is thought io have been the work of an incendi >ry. Mr. Clarke was pastor of the London Bridge Baptist Church, and was a preacher of note. Dr. John Allen, of Stanley County, North Carolina, was held up by highway-

men. They robbed him of S3O and released him. The Doctor pelted them with stones, whereupon the robbers caught him I again and hanged him to a tree until they [ thought him dead, when he was cut down, j After the men left the Doctor got up and | walked home. — ■ I THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. The pension appropriation acts for the current fiscal year appropriated SBB,400,000, including $8,000,000 to meet a threatened deficiency. Chief Bell, of the agents’ division of the pension office, says that it is true that this amount has all been drawn from the Treasury, but that more than $16,000,000 remains in the hands of the eighteen pension agents with which to meet the quarterly payments which fall due on June 1. It is thought that this amount will nearly suffice until July 1, when the appropriation for the next fiscal year will become available. Mr. Bell says the appropriation for the next fiscal year, $80,400,000, is too small; and that there will be a deficiency of about $15,000,000. Gen. Black, he says, did not ask for enough money to prevent a deficiency even on the basis of expenditures then existing. Louis A. Dent, of Washington, has been appointed private secretary to Secretary Blaine, vice Thomas H. Sherman, appointed Consul to Liverpool. Mr. Dent was formerly private secretary to Congressman Hitt, of Illinois, and aided Mr. Blaine in the preparation of his book, “Twenty Years of Congress." POLITICAL PORRIDGE. The school elections throughout AVest Virginia show Democratic gains and the majority in the State is about 6,000. Preston, which gave Harrison 1,500 majority, goes 800 Democratic. The Republican majority in Kanawha County is cut down from 1,500 to less than 200, and Berkeley, which went Republican by 200, goes Democratic by 400. ACROSS THE OCEAN. In evicting the tenants ou the Olphert estate in Ireland, the evictors met with a desperate resistance. Dining the struggle Inspector Duff was badly wounded. The tenants had erected barricades around their homes and from behind these defenses they hurled stones and other missiles at the attacking party. Boiling water was also thrown upon the evictors and a number of policemen and bailiffs were badly scalded. The police arrested fourteen persons. The trial has begun at Rouen, France, of a Havre chemist's assistant named Baussier who poisoned with arsenic his employer, the latter’s wife, the apprentices of the shop, and several customers. It is supposed his object was to purchase the business at a low figure. The British man-of-war Surprise was run ashore at Syracuse, Sicily, after colliding with and sinking the steamer Nesta. The man-of-war is full of water. FRESH AND NEWSY. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says; The reports are more encouraging. There are decidedly better crop prospects and a better feeling in the branches of industry nnd trade which have been most depressed. Ir< n, coal, and wool look better, anil a better trade in cotton is expected. Greater activity and better prices in the stock market reflect a feeling of increased confidence in the business outlook. Wool is a shade stronger, because prices asked by growers are much above the markets, but there is little if any change yet in the attitude of manufacturers. Cotton is stronger, and exports as well as receipts now fall far behind last year’s, but the crop reports from the South are generally favorable. There is a better feeling, but as yet without improvement of prices, in the iron and steel trade. Accounts from interior cities are without important change anywhere. Money is everywhere in sufficient supply. The Western distributing centers are all encouraged by exceptionally favorable crop prospects, which are also felt in speculative markets. A little improvement appears in exports. The increase in imports is about 17 per cent. It is an evidence of reviving foreign purchases of securities that gold does not go out more largely. No signs of monetary disturbance appear. The failures number 229, as compared with 252 the week previous. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were ‘.’25. THE CHOSEN FEW.

THREE ARE INDICTED. THE GRAND JURY ON THE CRONIN CASE. Evidence Presented Strong; Enough to Hold Detective Couglilin, Iceman Sullivan and Horse-Thief Woodruff—The Latter Makes Another Confession. A Chicago dispatch says: Daniel Coughlin the detective; P. O. Sullivan, the iceman, and Frank Woodruff, alias Black, the “trunk man,” have been indicted by

the grand jury on the charge of murdering Dr. Cronin. There are three counts to each indictment, but they refer only to the instruments used in the killing, and read, “a sharp instrument, a jblunt instrument, and an instrument unknown.” The first witness was old man

fßank woodruff Carlson, the owner of the cottage 1872 Ashland avenue, Lake View, where the murder took place The old man was before the grand jury but a very short time, when he was led out and returned to the west-end witness room. T. T. Conklin, the saloon keeper and personal friend of the dead doctor, was the next witness. Remaining about twenty minutes he was fo.lowed by young Carlson. John J. Cronin, a brother of the murdered man, was led in after young Carlson and next in order camo the following persons: John Roesch, the man who found the body; Justice Mahoney of Lake View, and special friend of the iceman; Dr. Brandt, who examined the hair in the I x XT S BETECTIVE COUGHLIN. trunk and the hair on Cronin’s head, pronounciiiK both the same; Dr. Belfield, who was at the post-mortem; Mrs. Conklin, Capt. Schaack. Lieut. Schlittler, Frank Scanlan, Detectives Lorch, Rohan, and Hiatt. Willard J. Smith and his brother John, Capt. Dinan, the liveryman, who owns the rig which carried Cronin to his death; Milkman Mertes, who heard the doctor’s death-cry, young Carlson s wife, ami ('apt. Wing of Lake View. Os the above list of witnesses, the police officers, the Carlsons, and Mr. and Mrs. Conklin were the only ones capable of fur- j nishing testimony additional to what has already been printed. There is, again, the State’s attorney’s word for it that the ! Conklins went no further than to narrate ! the familiar facts of Dr. Cronin's apprehension of foul play and the incidents of his fatal errand, including a description of the man who called for him. Mr. Longonecker avers that Dr. Cronin's private j papers in the hands of the Conklins’ were ; not introduced nor any knowledge in their ' possession east ng suspicion on others t han the three indieted. The Carlsons added to their previous story enough to create the strong presump- | tion that Detective Coughlin was familiar with Iceman Sullivan, and that they have been seen at various times together. From the policemen the best new evidence came and that is found in the links that, for the ! first time, clearly bind Woodruff to the ' crime. Frank Woodruff, alias Frank B aek, has been taken into camp by Capt. Schaack and he has told the whole story of his connection with Dr. Cronin's murder. According to the statements he has ; made to the North Side captain lie was not directly connected with the murder it- ' self, but simpl.v acted as the driver of the ' wagon which disposed of the dead man’s : body in the catch basin where it was found. At daybreak Sunday morning Capt. Schaack, in a cab driven by a detective, arrived at Indiana and Dearborn streets, and after waiting for several minutes I Woodruff, accompanied by a jail guard, arrived. He was taken into the vehicle । nnd driven to the scene of Dr. Cronin’s ' murder and also to the catch-basin and the | place where the trunk was foun 1. Wood- I ruff himself gave the driv.ng directions to I the detective, who managed the reins, and I in every’ instance located the exact places | where the chief acts in the horrible tragedy । occurred. According to his confession he was di- I rected by those who had charge of that j part of the conspiracy, and whose names Capt. Schaack reserves for reasons that , are palpable, to go to Dean's livery stable, ! where he would obtain a hors? and wagon, j He had already been instructed to drive ! the outfit to t K e neighborhood of the Carl- j son cottage and he also knew fur what I pin pose he was to go there. He arrived there about twenty minutes before Dr. Cronin was driven up and placed his horse and wagon at a point near the cottage, where lie could keep his eyes on the front steps. He saw’ the whitehorse rig containing Dr. Cronin and lis conductor arrive, and three-quarters of an hour thereafter the man who was known as Williams opened the front door of the cottage and gave the signal b stamping his foot on the wooden porch. Woodruff at once drove up and, assisted by the third man, the trunk was loaded into the wagon. Tue two men followed the trunk and directed Woodraff, who continued as the driver, to drive eastward to the lake to a certain p int which Woodruff had designated to Capt. Schaack. The wagon headed for the lake and in its depths the trunk and its contents would have been deposited had not the interruption come from the two Lak) View policemen. This smashed the original plans of the two men and immediate steps were taken to get out of the officers’ way. This was done by taking a circuitous route, which again brought them to the Evanston road. They had now been driving f< r nearly an hour with their ghastly loud and one of the men suggested the sewer. A stop was made at the Fifty-ninth street intersection of the Evanston road. The top was taken from the man-hole on the southeast corner and the trunk lifted from the wagon. Williams said there was no more time to be lost and he kicked in the lid of the trunk. The three lifted the body out and deposited it in the sewer as it was found. The trunk was again placed on the wagon. It was intended to go south for a distance and then to drive north to t ie cottage and then deposit the trunk. “Right here,” said Woodruff to Capt. Schaack, pointing to the exact spot where the trunk was found, “we heard a noise of wagon wheels from the south a:d the two men, one of whom had been sitting on the trunk, picked up the box and threw it out of the wagon and I was urged to whip up the hor >e and drive v est. When we reached Fullerton avenue both men sai 1 good-night to me and left the uaion.” The remainder of the confession is devoted to Woodruff’s wanderings with the horse and wagon in his attempt to sell them.

Woin«n in Politics. Woman in politics is a success, "tier work is not on'the surface, to be known of all men, but here in Washington the signs of her activity are plentiful. Here is a inember <n the House, able, respected, holding a very high place in committee, whose wife, a rich woman, found him poor and struggling. She married him, educated him, pushed him into polities, and will not be satis- , tied until she has made him President, or dies trying. There goes an army officer who lias had promotion after promotion, by the favor of one President after another, till he is now near the top of the heap. How did he win so many advancements'? By valor or long service'? No, by the tact, push and persistency of his wife. General Greely, the Arctic hero, now holds a high place ill the army. He has successfully contended against many enemies, and is likely, in good time, to reach the summit of his ambition by having the signal service made an independent army bureau, with himself at the head. Is it General Greely’s Arctic record that is bringing him this success, or his extraordinary ability? No. Though an able and useful man, his success is largely due to the political and social genius of Mrs. Greely. She is indomitable, resourceful and devoted.— lVashintjton letter. Clear the Way Without lobb of time when the intestinal canal is blocked up by reason of constipation, chronic or temporary. It should be borne in mind that this ailment is prone to become lasting and obstinate, and breed other and worse complaints. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is the precise remedy to remove the obstruction effectually, but without drenching or weakening the blockaded bowels, a consequence always to be apprehended from the use of violent laxatives, which are among the most pernicious of the cheap nostrums swallowed by the credulous and misinformed. The flat of experience, and of the medical profession, sanctions the claims of this standard aperient. Not only as a source of relief and permanent regularity to the bowels, liver and stomach, but as a means of remedying and preventing kidney and bladder troubles, and fever and ague, it is without a peer. What a UliiropodiNt Thinks. “Year before last I had two women patrons to one man,” said a chiropodist. “But last year, aud so far this year, the falling off in the former patronage has been more than onehalf. But there has been no decrease in the number of my male customers. How do I account for all this ? Easily. Fashion in shoesis responsible for it. A year and a half ago the high, narrow French heels were the fashion in women’s shoes, and they are one of the best friends a chiropodist can have. They are regular and rapid breeders of corns. No woman can weai a pair of such shoes long without looking up a corn doctor. But the low, flat heel is now the fashion. If the rest of the shoo fits the foot, these heels are the natural enemy of corns, and the chiropodist has to suffer. It is generally believed that women are more vain of their feet than men are of theirs, but : my experience has shown mo that ’ quite the contrary is the fact. Men j will insist on making their feet look ! small, and any shoe that will do that l is the fashion for them. The narrowtoed or “toothpick” style of men’s shoes, worn now as much as ever, will always insure the corn doctor a living, especially if the shoes are patent leather. A patent-leather shoe, for ' some reason, will call acorn into being much quicker than an ordinary leather : shoe. The fellows who don’t have corns are those who wear roomy-toed I shoes. But they mustn’t be too large. A shoe too large is as bad as one too small. An oversized shoe makes corns on the bottom of the feet, and they are the worst kind, The late war was the greatest corn curer ever known. I ; never knew a single case of a soldier in that war who suffered from corns, and I was all through it. If a law should be passed that no shoe should ■ be worn in this country but the pattern army shoe of the rebellion, the corn doctor’s occupation would be gone.” THE WORST WRECK, PHYSICALLY | Os any Man This Country Ever Saw, Cured.

An Anecdote of Ericsson One good story of Ericsson is missed j from the hundreds that are now going f about. It was told many years ago | that the famous inventor was invited to hear Ole Bull play the violin. His reply was that he had no time for such frivolity, as he had been taught to regard music, that he never had an ear for it anyhow, that it would be a waste , of his valuable time and a breach upon his staid daily habits. But somehow his friend managed to bring the two great geniuses together. The meeting was said to have occurred in the inventor’s shop. A violin was produced and Bull began to play while the inventor worked. Pretty soon Ericcson paused in his work, then he dropped his tools and listened spell-bound to the magical tones of the musician. He said, so the story ran, he had always felt that something had been wanting in his life, and that he had never known what it was until that day. — Musical Courier. What 1a sweeter than roHes 'That bloom in the beauty of Juno? Or the stately and fragrant lilies Whose bells ring a summer tune? Ah, sweeter the roses blowing On the cheeks of those we love, And the lily of health that’s glowing The cheeks’ red rose above. But how soon the lily and the rose wither in the faces of our American women? Why is it? Simply because so many of them are victims of weaknesses, irregularities, and functional derangements incidental to the sex.

■“AIMER'S MAGNETIC INHALEHj^jg^ Patented June 12, Price, One Dollar. HUMy This Inhaler consists of a powerful Magnetic Coil inclosing asttpply of pure Japanese Crystals of Menthol, the whole incased in polished rubber with nickeled removable caps. Sufferers are scarcely aware that Catarrh is due to the presence of microbes in the mucous membrane lining Um nose and throat. After one or two simple inhalations the microscope will show in the catarrhal mucus dead forms of thepar- ■ asitc . which, before the inhalations, were seen io be ■ alive and active. They can only exist in membranes I that are below the healthy standard. It is for the want ot the understanding of these facts that the cure . of Catarrh is made difficult. For a permanent cure i it is necessary not only to kill th-germ but also to 1 strengthen the membrane. This is accomplished by | the electric force stored up in the Magnetic Coil, being the most powerful natural tonic to the weakened tissues. Speakers and vocalists will find the In- ' haler very beneficial in strengthening the voice. Forwarded by mail on receipt of the price bv D. 0.
