The Same CE0WDED CAES JUMP TRACK. Take Fire From Third Rail, and the Passengers Are Panic-Stricken. NEW YORK. Oct. 24. A train composed of two cars on the Kings County Elevated Structure, at the Brooklyn end of the bridge. Jumped the track at the curve at 11:45 last -night, narrowly escaped, fall ing into the street, caught fire from the third rail, and was partly consumed, with the flooring of the structure. Fifty pas sengers were bruised by the Jolt and thrown Into a panic by the blaze, and all rushed to the tracks, regardless of the deadly third rail, and escaped. The two cars, both moters, were crowd ed. They started on signal, forging 'ahead with more speed than is considered safe and immediately left the track on a curve within 10 feet of the platform, and crashed into a bumper outside the curve. Passen gers were thrown from their seats and windows were broken. As the cars came to a standstill, a loud report resounded, and' others, like musketry, followed. Sim ultaneously a sheet of flame shot Into the air. Then a shower of sparks, mingled with tongues of blue fire, played around the cars, setting fire to the flooring and eldes and Igniting the elevated structure. The imprisoned passengers shrieked in horror, and madly rushed to the rear door. which was closed. In a twinkling the door was shattered, and men and women poured out upon the platform and swarmed down upon ther oadbed, ob llvious of tho fact that death lay in the sputtering third, rail. Luckily none . of the frightened! passengers touch It, and all escaped to the station p.atform. Mean while the flames communicated by the third rail grew, and the fire engines were called out and eventually extinguished the flames.

This might involve the Monroe Doctrine, he said, but no country in Eu rope was now disposed to take any ac tion Infringing the principle of that doctrine. here by the "host," he said that 4,325.000 persons had received the "divine message" since his arrival. It was said that the departing members of the "host" had returned to Zlon City because fo many of the heads of depart ments had left their places there vacant. Many members of the host received a severe shock today whon they were In formed by the railway companies that their tickets would have to be used dur ing the early part of next week. It had been understood. It Is said, that all the tickets Iwere good for two weeks, but now it is said most of them will have to re turn several days sooner or lose their transportation. At the general meeting, which was at tended by about 3000 persons, Dowie talked on "What a Christian Should Do When Sick." He said that when a Chris tian became 111 he should go to the elders of the church for relief, and not to a phy sician. He criticised a decision of the New York Court of Appeals, holding a ZIonlte indirectly responsible for a child's death, because there was no physician in attendance. Dowie said he would carry the case, if necessary, to the Supreme Court of the United States. Strike In Sy.mpathy. CHICAGO. Oct. 23. In sympathy with fellow workmen 4n New York 1600 United Garment Workers employed by the In ternational Tailoring Company In Chicago, went on strike today. Half the strikers are women. the land boundaries of the United States S7C9 alien immigrants were rejected for various causes, tile number of rejections being nearly double those of the preced ing year. Of these 5812 were paupers; 1773 were affllctea with dlease; 10S6 were con tract laborers. Concerning these figures, Commissioner Sargent says: "As regards the rejection of diseased aliens, I must reiterate the statement made In the last annual reports that It exhibits upon the part of some of tho transportation lines such a wanton dis regard of the laws of the country as fully vindicates the wisdom of Congress In authorizing by the act. approved March 3, 1903, the imposition of a penalty for bringing diseased aliens, to this coun try In those cases In which the existence of the disease was perceptible at the time of foreign embarkation." Commissioner Sargent strongly recom mends that an examination by competent medical -officials bo made of Immigrants on behalf of this Government at foreign ports. He believes that skilled physi cians, representing this Government should be detailed for this service. x Danger In Alien Colonies. The commissioner refers to the grave danger In this country found in the colo nization of alien communities In our great cities.

The President has Issued ordcn for the reservation for military purposes subject to private igh Class Druggists - 0THER5. AND Tho better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devotctheir lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred, upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of J?ig3 is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name " Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the CompanyCalifornia Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter hi3 establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do ao with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist s is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Cc. printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of uiugiow niuBtuj(uu wxiatyuu men auu iuc ucaiui cvci viuujgiu ma line aireaBonaDiepnces.
