ndsome clock and chimes. At 0
ock the entire tower collapsed, the
k falling through firat)floor. Two lines
ose were then gotten on top of the gi-
tic structure, and the flames which
eatened to destroy Philadelphia's
t famous store were soon under
trol.
he fire had been confined entirely to
Market-street front, and the loss aus-
ed by Wanamaker was principally
cthe destruction of the clock and
mes and the breaking of all the 'large
te-glass windows on Market street.

Wanamaker said to an Associated
Press reporter at 9:30, that in three
hours after the firemen are out of the
store seven-eighths of the store will be
ready for business. Wanamaker was ap
parently the least concerned man in the
great crowd. Meanwhile the firemen
were having their hands full confining
the flames to the original block.
Up to this time the flames had been
confined to the block bounded by Filbert
street on the north. Thirteenth on the
east, Market on the eoutli, and Juniper
on the west. The wind was blowing
from the west, and carried the flames
right into the rear of the buildings on
Thirteenth street. The first building
there to catch .fire was that of Jacob
Miller's gents' furnishings. Fifteen
other shops and stores on North Thir
teenth were gutted.
The flames ate their way almost di
rectly northwest from the rear of Blum
Bros.' building, gutting the rear of
Showell & Frier's big grocery. The rear
part of '2 to 25 North Juniper street,
used as law offices and private resi
dences, was completely burned out.'
OVKll A rHECIPICE.
Terrible Accident to u Sledding Tarty
in I'enuHylvaula.
Altooxa, Pa., Jan. 2G. At 10 o,clock
last night a sledding piuty of 40 persons,
of Tyrone, drove into a quarry at Pern
beton, six miles below this place. The
sled, horses and pleasure seekers weie
precipitated 50 feet to the bottom of the
precipice, where they lay in a great mass.
Twenty person were badly injured. As
soon as the news reached Tyrone a
special train was fitted out and all the
doctors in town conveyed to the place.
The party was mostly made.up of boys
and girls. With arms and legs broken
and blood streaming from their wounds,
they lay in drifts of snow. The mercury
stood at 3 deg. below zero, adding to the
horror of the catastrophe.
The following is a partial list of the
injured :
Alice Hadden, of Little Washington.
Jessie Stone, of Belton.
Eugene Crampton, of Tyrone.
William Jones, of Tyrone.
Howard Templeton, Tyrone.
These were all badly hurt.
Couferencn Bill Taken Uji.
Washington, Jan. 26. The senate
has taken up the bill for an international
monetary conference. White spoke in
derison of Wolcott's trip to Europe. He
read an extract from Chandler's paper
which referred to Sherman as a great
leader who would solve the problem of
bimetalism.
White said the effort to secure bimet
alism in this way would prove futile,
but it might satisfy its promoters with
the idea that they were keeping their
promises.

PLEADS FOB CUBA LIB UK.
Turple Continues His Speech In Behalf
of the Cuban.
Washington, Jan. 20. In the senate
today Turpie continued his speech in
behalf of the struggling Cubans. He
made a strong plea for them, citing nu
merous instances in which the United
States had aided South American revo
lutionists. Senator Hill, of the judiciary commit
tee, presented a report on the question
of whether concurrent resolutions are
required to be submitted to the presi
dent, a fine point which aroeein connec
tion with the Cuban and Armenian res
olutions. The conclusion reached was
that it depended on the substance, not
the form, of the resolutions. If they
contained legislative matter they must
be, otherwise not.
We know of but one community in the
world where dyspepsia is practically un
known, and that is theSnakersof Mount
Lebanan, N. Y. These good people
have been studying the subject of diges
tion for more than a hundred years, and
that they understand it pretty thorough
ly, is evinced in the foregoing fact. Their

remedy in cuses of indigestion that we
know of. A trial bottle can be had
through your druggists for the trifling
sum ot 10 cents.

the system with food already digested,
and at the same time aids the digestion
of other foods. It will almost instantly
relieve the ordinary symptoms of indi
gestion, and no suffer need to bo 'told
what these are. (5)
Laxol is the best medicine for chil
dren. Doctors recommend it in place of
Castor OU.

for it. Miss Margaret Mather, the act
ress, and Mrs. H. J. Thompson of Bos

most the same moment. It will proba
cy require the eervices of the courts to
determine to whom the tiara belongs.

DRY THIN
AND
FALLING
HAIR
Is due, in the majority of cases, to
imperfect action of the sebaceous
or oil glands. Deprived of its
proper nourishment, the hair be
comes harsh and brittle, the scalp
dry and scaly, and the roots choked
and lifeless in a hard, dry skin. The
purest, sweetest, and most effective
treatment is warm shampoos with
CUTICURA
SOAP
followed by light applications of
Cuticura (ointment), the great
.skin cure.
They clear the scalp and hair of
crusts, scales, and dandruff, allay
itching, soothe irritation, heal erup
tions, destroy microscopic insects
which feed on the hair, stimulate
the hair follicles, and supply the
roots with nourishment.
