Nervous women seldom recei re
the sympathy they deserve. WhLe
often the pictures of health, th jy
are constantly ailing. To with
hold sympathy from these unfr
tunates is the height of cruelty.
They have a weak heart, causing
shortness of breath, fluttering,
pain in side, weak aud hungry
sj)ells, and finally swelling jf
ankles, oppression, chokinj,
smothering and dropsy. Dr.
Miles' Ne Heart Cure is just the
thing for them. For their ner

HBATTI.K. July 31. At 1 :lo
oMlock this morning fire was dis
ered in the Montana livery
roles. oa Washington street
near South Fifth. The flames rap
idly spread, and, although four
streams were turned on, the fire
could not be checked. The Mon
tana livery stable, the First
Chance saloon and lodging house
aliove. the Brevoort House and a
e umber of Chinese stores were
entirely consumed. About twenty
occupants of the lodging house
were asleep at the time, and some
were gotten out with great aim-
culty. The firemen gave up hope
of saving any building on that side
of the block, and turned their at
tention toward saving the balance
of the block and the houses oppo
site, which were smoking from the
heat.
This morning early the charred
remains of Ueorge Williams, a
meat monger, was found in the
rains. He lay with his face down
mid was thus identitied by his
friends. A negro cook and his
wife are at Providence hospital
this morning probably fatally
burned. Early during the progress
of the fire he jumped head first
from the building, his torm cov
ered with flames, and as befell his
bones were- heard to crack. The
burned flesh hung in threads from
his quivering form. The woman
also jumped, and when she fell the
blood streamed from her mouth,
nose and ears. They were moved
to the hospital, and during the
whole night suffered the most in
tense agony.
One of the buildings hurned was
a Chinese store, ami ior mieen
minutes the cannonading of the
firecrackers sounded like the roar
of artillery. A fireman came near
losing his lite. Ihe horses that
were turned loose from the Mon
tana stable rushtd madly through
the streets, causing the cowd to
stampede frightfully. It required
tremendous work to save the sur
roi uding buildings. There were
six buildings burned. Loss, $50,-
000; insurance leBS than $10,000.

Drilled by a Crazy King.
Berlin, July 31. A dispatch
from Muiich states that King
Otto of Bavaria has shown of late
such symptoms of improvement
that he was allowed to take long
jaunts, witn only one attendant.
in tbe vicinity of his palace prison
the castle of Furstenreid. His
long absence on one occasion at
tracted attention at the castle, and
on going out in search of the king,
he was found engaged in drilling
the attendant in military exercise,
of which Otto has some knowledge.
The poor attendant had been un
der drill for two hours or more,
Otto meeting any impatience with
a cuff or a blow. The king was
cool enough, but was with difficul
ty induced to return lo the castle.
When the affair became known to
the Bavarian soldiery, they are
said to have expressed a good
deal of pleasure at their sovereign's
military taste.

a Strong; Compact,
London, July 31. It is under
stood that the terms of a conimer

agreed upon between Franco and
Russia, whereby each country
will give preference to the products
of the other. As Russia, in years
of favorable harvests, is a large
food exporting country, this ar
rangement will militate against
the United States rather than Eng
land, although British manufac
turers receive a severe blow: from
the new French tarilL In return
for French concessions, Russia
will, it is said, give a preference to
French manufactures, while main
taming a stringent taritl tor im

advantage thus given to France
enhances enormously the value ol
the Russian alliance, irrespective
oi any motive of hostility toward

THE WORLD'S FAIR,
France Is Not Oyer Polite on the
Question.
London, July 31. A Paris dis
patch says' that the reception of
the Chicago fair committee was
little more than polite. The feel
ing there is very lukewarm toward
the American fair, owing partly to
the absorbing interest of the Euro-
pean political situation, and partly
also to the fact that the American
display at the late Paris exposition
was considered inadequate, as
compared with countries vastly
less important in wealth, popula
tion and industry. Again, there
is evidence that the Historic at
tachment to America is gradually
dying out with the advance of
time, and that sentiment is sup
planted by hard material interests.
The move to repeal the pork pro
hibition was only undertaken
under the apprehension of the loes
of the wine trade' with America,
and its success is not yet assured.
Even should it pass, the pork
would have to pay a heavy duty.
