Got the Tune All Kight. A new Irish porter was put at work on an English train. The head porter, •ays Household Words, directed the new man to Imitate biin closely, and thereby learn his duties. When the first train came into the station the head porter shouted, “FerryhiH; change for HarLepcol. Stockton and Middlesborough; change for Spcnnymoor. Coxhoe and Trimdon; keep your scats going north.” Barney strode after him and shouted In a. louder voDe: “Fareyhill; change for D ho.?, Umphump, Tootalooral. Diderham; change for Coxcomb, Morrham, Findham, Coldham; kape your seats where yen are.” The station-master called him aside and showed' him the right names on the time-table. Barney removed his cap and said politely, “Thank yen. sor. I got hold of toe music, but I couldn't catch the words.” A Reason for Sickness.

Within one month I felt much better, and at the close of the Second I was entirely well. “ I have advised a number of my lady friends to use it, and all express themselves as well satisfied with the results as I was.” —Miss Rose Nora Hennessy, 410 S.

DAY OF DEATH. Sunday Gives Appalling List of Fatalities All Over the Country. Death reaped a harvest and many persons were maimed or sustained painful injuries as a result of innumerable accidents throughout the United States Sunday. In several of the appalling fatalities that are recorded speeding automobiles containing pleasure seekers were suddenly transformed into rapid death conveyances. The trolley car was also an active death-dealing agent and the elements plunged many others to their death by the capsizing of row boats and yachts on inland lakes and off the Atlantic coast, where thousands bent on a day’s outing risk their lives in a similar way each Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. George E. Dixon, La Grange, 111., were instantly killed and their automobile in which they had been riding reduced to a mass of twisted iron and splintered wood when a speeding electric car on the Aurora, Elgin and Chicago Railroad ran them down. Horror was added to the accident by the explosion of the gasoline tank of the wrecked automobile. Flames enveloped the bodies as they were huried through the air and the clothing was burned from them. Five persons were drowned on the bar off 47th street, Brooklyn, by the overturning of the sloop yacht Elsie and Katie in a heavy storm that swept over New York. Eight others who were on the yacht were rescued. During the same storm in Jamaica bay two men were drowned. In East New York one house was demolished. while two were unroofed. The wrecked building was a three-story brick, nearly completed. Seventeen young men caught in the storm had taken refuge Within. A moment after they entered the lightning struck the building. A gale which followed left the structure a mass of wreckage. One youth was between heavy timbers and badly crushed. The others, although much bruised and cut, were not seriously hurt CALL CONVENT ION TO ORDER. Ex-Senator James K. Jones Will Open Great St. Louis Gathering. Former Senator James K. Jones will call the St. Louis convention to order. The duty and honor comes to him because he is chairman of the national \ Democratic committee. It will probably be his last appearance on th e political stage for a long broobies in his \ State in which he was opposed by o\\\ Gov. Jeff Davis and ex-Gov. J. P. Clarke J. K. JONI S. place him in a state of eclipse, much to the regret of his circle of friends both in and out of Congress. Last fall Clarke succeeded Jones in the Senate. The latter is nojv practicing law in Washington, D. C. His home town is Washington, Ark. Jones was the manager of both the Bryan campaigns and was the leader of his party in the Senate. Since his retirement Gorman, who came back last fall, is the leader. Jones was a private soldier in the Confederacy and after the war lived on a plantation until 1873, when he began the practice of law. He was a candidate for member of the isthmian canal commission, and had strong support, even among Republicans, but failed to get the appointment. "RAN AWAY TO GET MARRIED." Aged Supreme Court Justice Surprises His Friends by Taking a Wife. Justice Brown of the United States Supreme Court, who was married at Crosswicks, N. J., Saturday to Mrs. Josephine Bunting Tylor, describes his wedding as a “runaway match.” With the assistance of Bishop Scarborough of the episcopal diocese of New Jersey the plans of the couple were kept a profound secret, and not until after Mr and Mrs. Brown returned to Trenton to take the train for Atlantic City did anyone suspect that the "little matter of business” which brought Justice Brown was his wedding. Justice Brown is one of the appointees of the late President Harrison, having taken his place on the Supreme Court bfench in 1890. He is 68 years old. Mrs. Brown is comparatively young and a most attractive woman. She belongs to an old family and is a cousin of Justice Brown’s first wife. GIRL FIXES NOOSE. Then Leads Horse from Under Lynchers’ Dangling Victim. Starling Dunham, a negro, wanted on the charge of attacking the 14-year-old daughter of John Wilson, a white man, two weeks ago, and also three young women named Dunn, was hanged in the public square at Eudora, Miss., by a mob. The noose was placed about the negro’s neck by the little Wilson girl, who positively identified him as her assailant. The negro was then placed upon the back of a horse and at a signal from the leader of the mob the little Wilson girl led the horse from under him. Over 3,000 persons, white and black, witnessed the hanging. Members of the mob declare the lypching as orderly as a legal execution. After being assured that the negro was dead the mob cut down the body and turped it over to the relatives for burial, ,

HOW CONVENTIONS NOMINATE. Each Great National Party Assembly Makes Ite Own Rules. Each national party convention makes its own rules of procedure. Practically one convention exercises no control over the succeeding one. Yet precedent governs every convention to a large extent. One custom, dignified by long usage, was followed for years in the gatherings of both parties—the recognition of the right of the majority of delegates from a State to control the vote of the whefle delegation. This is known as the “unit rule.” The Republican convention of 1876 abandoned the practice by permitting a minority of the delegates from one State to vote against the candidate preferred by the majority. The convention of 1880 formally adopted a rule that if there were any exception taken to the announcement of the vote of any litate the roll of delegates from that State should be called and the result thus obtained should be recorded. This rule was unsuccessfully opposed by the New York delegates who favored Gen. Grant, and desired that the anti-Grant delegates from New York should not be allowed to vote their sentiments. The Tammany opponents of Cleveland in the Now York delegation to the Democratic convention of 1884 tried to secure the adoption of a rule which would permit them to vote as individuals instead of in a unit, but failed, and .the unit rule still prevails in the Democratic convention. The Democrats have another rule, dating from 1832, which has withstood the attacks of its opponents for seventy-two years. It provides that the vote of twothirds of the delegates shall be necessary to nominate. In the Republican convention a majority suffices. The opponents of the nomination of Martin Buren insisted on the adoption of LuW "rVio-thirds rule* in” IM4, 'and ^l- - Aan Buren had a majority on the first ballot, he could not obtain the necessary two-thirds. James K. Polk, the first “dark horse,” was sprung on the convention in accordance with a prearranged plan, and was nominated in a stampede. Tuesday after the first Monday in November was fixed as the date for the election or appointment of presidential electors by act of Congress in 1845, and the law took effect for the first time in 1848. Prior to that time each State fixed its own date for the election of electors. The framers of the constitution did not contemplate the selection of presidential electors by popular vote. In the early part of the last cenXiry many States chose electors by the Legislatures. South Carolina continued that practice until 1860. After all, the best hot-weather advice is to keep cool. Clear the lecture platform for action. Perdicaris is free. It is going to be" a great summer for the lemonade man at Oyster Bay. Kuropatkin might like to retreat if he had a good recipe for doing so. Travelers in Morocco should be comparatively safe until Raisula needs some more money. If potatoes go much higher we can partially imagine the feelings of the people of Port Arthur. Dowi^may not have found his trip abroad entirely enjoyable, but some of the people at home did. What good is steamboat inspection that requires a coroner’s jury to tell W’hether or not it inspects? When Paul Morton is placed in charge of the Navy Department the prairie schooner-%*ant industry should become hopeful. ' ” If things keep on this way Gen. Kuropatkin may have to patronize the lost and found department to get track of his army. Perhaps after they try to get out the Russian commanders wish that the Japanese had succeeded in sealing up the entrance to Port Arthur. Gambling has been abolished in Chicago, but the Mayor did not think of such a thing as arresting the Republican convention for standing pat One knowing their cost would suppose that the Russians would think too much of their battleships to take them out where Togo could get at them. “Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead” appears to have done the business. There is no use temporizing with outlaws provided you have the power t» bring them up with a short turn. Women are aiding in the defense of Port Arthur. Doubtless they stick their heads causiously over the breastworks and call the Japanese mean old things.This should help some.

FIRE PERIL AT THE FAIR. Burning of Hoo-1100 Building Threat’ ens Other Structures. Fire, winch threatened for a tune to destroy many buildings Lt the St. Louis world’s fait Friday, consumed the bouse of Hoo-1100, rendering she building and all contents a total lots. So quickly did the flames spread after the tire started that the occupants Jif the building, five in numlier, all omr^e second flour, had difficulty escaping with their lives, being compelled to elimi down a tree to the grounds. The loss on the building and contents is estimati d at $56,000, on which there is an instil mce of $20,000. In addition there is a oss of SB,OOO to the Union Baking Comp my, which had a catering concession in lie building. Nothing is known po irively as to the origin of the fire, whic i is supposed to have started from an el pctric light wire, the insulation of whic i had become worn. The alarm was answered by the entire fire department and by eight engine companies and two ladder trucks of the city department, also by Hale’s fire fighters. Quick runs were made by all the companies, but the rapid spread of the flames rendered their attempts to extinguish the fire useless, and ail efforts were directed toward saving the Texas, German, Oregon and Mines and Metallurgy buildings, all of which were threatened with destruction on account of the flying shingles. All were saved without loss or damage. The house of Hoo-H<|» was one of the first buildings finished fl/ the exposition. It was erected by the ijmbermen of the United States, but undj- the control of the local board yf tha* -1 *jer of Hoo-1100. It was divided into *iany rooms, constructed of different finds of tine and expensive lumber. Asite from this, there were specimens of nre woods which were valued highly.

MAN MILLINER IS MERRY. Keeps His Patron# Laughing and Makes Money by the Device. There is a male milliner in West J Forty-fifth street who holds a fashionable patronage because of his unusual methods, not the least among which is a trick he lias of displaying upon ; his own bald pate all the bonnets and ' other, headgear he makes for his fair custonmrs. He is short and fat and decidedly plain of feature, and the effect of a woman’s bonnet upon him is . grotesque in the extreme, but he nev- ' er fails to subject himself to the laugh- ’ ter of his customers, believing that It t pays. The milliner’s theory is that the art i of his creations can be fully appreciated only when they are shown under the most unfavorable circumstances. “A pretty woman,” he tells his customers, “will lend a charm to any hat, and if she is very pretty you will look at her ratfier than at what she has on her head. But let me show you the effect of this bonnet upon me. Now ! you see it upon me. and If in spite of ! that fact you can see that It is beau- , tiful It is beautiful Indeed.” The fact that the milliner invariably wears a black silk apron, across the i front of which is a row of little pock- I ets containing spools of various colored thread, and his waistcoat is usually a mass of pins and needles, adds to the ridiculous appearance he presents with, say, a picture hat resting upon fringe of gray hair; but he bobs blithely around, ill that side effect. Isn’t that exquisite?” and “Now I am going to turn around so that you can get a back view. How do you like that?” A woman who recently purchased a bonnet from this enterprising milliner says thtt his method of displaying the art of his creations is certainly heroic, for when she first saw her bonnet upon him she came near refusing it then and there, so appalling was the effect. She studied it a little while longer, however, and eventually came to the conclusion that there certainly was a great deal in the theory of his strange custom.—New York Press. The Preacher’s Evidence. Roland, 111., June 27.—Diabetes has so long been looked upon as an Incurable form of Kidney Disease that a sure cure for it must rank as one of the most valuable discoveries of the j age. And every day brings forth fresh evidence that Dodd’s Kidney Pills will cure Diabetes. Important evidence in their favor is given by Rev. Thos. B. Norman, the well-known Baptist minister here. Mr. Norman says: “1 had all the symptoms of a bad I case of Diabetes and received so much benefit from the use" of Dodd's Kidney Pills that I cheerfully recommend them to anyone suffering from that dread disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure the worst form of Diabetes.” Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure Diabetes, one of the final stages of Kidney Disease. All the earlier stages from Backache to Rheumatism are naturally much more easily cured by the , same remedy. His Disability. The lawyer was examining him concerning his qualifications as a juror. “Have you ever served on a jury?” he asked. “No, sir,” answered the man. “I’ve ) becii_drnwn a good many times, but I . was always too smart to gei' jury.” “What’s that, sir?" interrupted the judge, sternly. “Do you boast of your smartness in escaping jury duty?” “No. your honor.” said tire man. “Not at all.

One of the most interesting exhibits | among the many of all kinds at the i Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. I Louis is that of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, of New Haven. Conn., manufacturers of repeating rifles and shotguns and all kinds of ammunition. The exhibit was in readiness and was opened on the first day of the fair, a fact that clearly illus- i trates the enterprise and up-to-date methods of the company behind it. It is the aim of the Winchester Repeat- ' ing Arms Company to show at their , exhibit the high development which they have reached in the making of guns and ammunition, and one nerds > only to see the exhibit to realize how ] near to perfection that development | has come. There can be seen the new automatic repeating rifle, all kinds of shotguns, the modern smokeless pow- • der shotgun shells and rifle cartridges; in fact, everything that can interest i the devotees of hunting and trap and target shooting.

Suggestions by Dr. Hartman.—How tr Combat the Nervous Depressioa Incident to Warm Weather. Nervousness is very common among women. This condition is due to anaemi'S nerve centers. The nerve centers ar* the reservoir for nerve vitality. These ‘•centers become bloodless for the want of’ proper nutrition. This condition is especially noticeable during the warm season. Every summer an army of invalids are produced a« a direct result of weak nervous systems. This could easily be overcome by the use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at thereof of the trouble by correcting the digestion. Perfect digestion furnish*#? increased nutrition for the nerve center^’ Perfectly digested food gives these rese?-; voirs of life a vitality which create^' strong, steady nerves, and in this taasner fortifies and nourishes life. Miss Blanche Grey, a prominent youn^. society woman of Memphis, Tenn., iw 8recent letter from 174 Alabama stro»U writes: “To a society woman who## nervous force is often taxed to the utmost from lack of rest and irregular meal#, / know of nothing which is of so much benefit as Peruna. 1 took it a few months ago when 1 felt my strength giving way, and it soon made itself manifest in giving me new strength and health.”-—Miss Blanche Grey. Pe-ru-na Contains no Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has foun3 permanent use in so many homes is th*4 it contains no narcotic of any kind. Penina is perfectlj - harmless. It can b» us&d any length of time without acquii* ing a drug habit. Penina does not produce temporary results. It is permanent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the system,, and gradually eliminates catarrh by removing the cause of catarrh. Ther* are a multitude of homes where Peruna has been used off and on for twenty ’ years. Such a thing could not be possible if Peruna contained any drugs of a narcotic nature. At this season of the year we ar* peculiarly liable to inflammations of th* stomach and bowels. It is the part ot wisdom to learn how to cut them short and in the easiest and quickest manner. Peruna does this by its peculiar power over all forms of catarrhal troubles.
