NO REST NIGHT OR DAY. With Irritating: SKin iiuinor?tiair Began to Fall Out?Wonderful Kesult From Cutlcura Remedies. "About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch. 1 did not take much notice of it at first, but it began to get worse all the time, and then 1 began to get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for skin humors, but I became worse all the time. My hair began to fall out and my scalp itched all the time. Especially at night, jusf. as soon as I would get in bed and get warm, my whole body would begin to itch, and my finger nails would keep it irritated, and it was not long before I could not rest night or day. A friend asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and I did, and the first application helped me wonderfully. For about four weeks I would take a hot bath every night and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to my whole body, and ? kept getting better, and by the time 1 used four boxes of Cuticura I was entirely cured and my hair stopped falling cat.

Babylon, Long Island.?The body < Paul Nocquet, sculptor and aeronau who ascended in his balloou from tl Union Gas Works in the Bronx, Ne York City, was found face down, in tl marsh, 011 Cott's Island, in Bass Cree two miles from Amityville. The da ing adventurer was dead from expo use, afler one of the most thrilliu desperate and awe-inspiring struggh that human creature ever made for lif His balloou Lad been found early i the morning on Jones' Beach, a sac strip dividing the bay from the ocea: Kiif until ?i lxnrmon ninrr fr* Am tyville discovered the body on a stri ?f salt grass stubble, half way betwee the island and the mainland, no trat could be found of the aeronaut. Nocquet had vainly tried for houi to make a landing. At last, driven t ward the open sea by a cross curren he had managed to land just with] the beach liue of .Tones' Island. Le on by the deceptive lights of Amit; ville to the north, which may lia\ seemed less than a mile away, thoug the distance is four miles, he tried 1 reach the mainland by swimming froi one to another of the hundreds of lo1 islnuds which clot the bay at this poii and form an almost continuous roul to the shore except for the intervenin creeks. After swimming fifteen creeks an crossing as many islands his strengt became exhausted, and falling on h face when he had gained Cott Islam one of the largest of the group, he die where he fell.

By rose a miliar vith the bay it i estimated that Nocquet must hav struggled through the mud and wate for at least two hours before hi strength finally gave way. The island which he crossed are little more tha mud flats, and many of them lie t > lm flint tlinv ai'o r>nvrrr>ri nt liicrh tirtfv Til mud of wbicli they are composed is a most as treacherous as quicksand. At every step Nocquet must hav sunk in to his knees or deeper, and t drag out his feet, held down by su< tion as well as by the weight of tli heavy mud, must have taxed hi strength to the utmost. Men who hav made tl.e attempt tc cross the island in this way marveled that lrc, had bee able to cross the two miles to the spc where be finally fell in complete ej baustion. Why he did not remr.iu where hi balloon landed on Jones' Island, ii stead of going to his d^ath in the mu flats, cau be explained it!y by the suj position that the lights of Amityvill seemed to him so near that to reac them would be an easy task.

The man sv was found in pit No. 4 of the Salluule mines vein. He was in good cornlil( tion. According to his first statements this r* man, Auguste Berton, suffered less s- than the preceding rescued men. lie ig was thirty-two years old, and was bom ;s in the same place as Nemy, the leader of the thirteen men rescued March 30. e> As the news spread through the rein glon it caused extreme exasperation id against the engineers who have been Q directing the salvage work. M. Leon, the State Engineer, when he arrived <?t l~ the pit was surrounded by a crowd of P people who cursed and swore at him; in one woman struck him. -e Berton was found in the following manner: One of the party of salvage rs men was working ifl the mine in the morning when he felt the touch of a l? liana on 111s snouiaer ana a raau, wuo n turned out to be Berton, said: !d "I am saved." P" The alarm was immediately given, 'e Berton was taken to the pit moutli, docII tors were summoned and Mme. Ber0 ton, the wife of the rescued man, was III sent for and an affecting scene oc^ curred. ^ Berton, who was covered with n te laj'er of coal dust, described bis exg periences as follows: "I was working with my cousin d when an explosion occurred and we became separated. Afterward, alone, 18 I groped about in the darkness, trying to find an outlet. I firstfound a dead d horse, but was unable to eat any of its flesh. Later I found some lunch bags lt which had belonged to men who had been killed by the explosion, and I (n lived on the food I found in them. :8 I suffered from the cold and took shoes 2 and clothing from the dead. I also 3 found three watches and twenty-four cents. At one time I gave up hope [e and tried to commit suicide by opene ing a vein. I slept ten times and tried n to count the days, estimating that eight '? days had passed since the explosion." After being entombed in the coal mines of the Courrieres district for , twenty days, ever since the terrible explosion there, by which nearly 1200 ? men met' their deaths, thirteen survivors crawled out of pit No. 2 on March 30, very feeble and suffering ? from blood poisoning, but with sufficient vitality to insure their recovery. ' They stated that there were other men , alive in the mines, saying that they heard tappings-in different parts of the galleries, and salvage operations were renewed. There were touching scenes as wives and mothers greeted those whom they io had long given up as dead. Crowds p besieged the hospitals to -which tbe , men were taken, cheering the survivors n and imprecating the ineffective nature )t of the salvage work that followed immediately after the disaster. The total number of men missing g after the catastrophe was 1212. The bodies recovered approximately numJ bered 500, and there are stilL uuac j_ counted for approximately 700. n MEXICO'S BIGGEST FIRE. d i- President Diaz Watches Burning of s Great Retail Store?Loss $000,000. g ?

FATHER AND SON JOBBERS Same New York Bank Looted by Both Turneys. CONCEALED IN FEAR OF PANIC Joseph A. Tarnoy, TFho Has Novr Stolen 834,000, Wait n Clerk There nt tlie Time?Officers IMailo Up tli? T.ots and Hashed Up the Case ? Krfnn Leonard Held Blameless For the Son's Theft*. New Yo-k City.?After Joseph A. Turney, the embezzling note toiler of the Bank of North America, had waived examination in the Tombs Police Court and had been held in $10,000 bail, it became known that his father bad stolen $1CG,000, with the connivance of another clerk, from the same bank in 1877. The father restored 3*Z"?AAA 4-? -fl*/-* n n/1 fUWU IV IIIC vaiii\t tcuvt kaax; made up the loss and lmslied it up lather than have the safety of the bank imperilled by a run. The elder Turney died about three years ago a respected citizen. The name of the young woman who has figured in the son's case also became public. She is Miss Edna M. Leonard, who keeps a boarding nouse at 358 West Forty-sixth street. The bank officials say that their investigations show that Miss Leonard is entirely blameless for Turney's stealings, and they are convinced that his relations with her were solely those of n business friend. Miss Leonard admitted that she knew turney, and said she had been "unfortunate enough *o have her name mixed up in the affair," but she declared most positively that she knew nothing of the man's steal ings and had not shared In thein. Tlie bank officials are satisfied that she is telling the truth. They say that her house is respectable and that they have dropped that side of the case. In 1877 Turney's father stole $100,000 from the bank, and that he acted with another employe in taking the money. Tlie elder Turney returned SGOOO of the alleged stolen funds to the institution and he was not prosecuted. The officials of the bank covered up the case, and it would never have been made public if it were not for the defalcation of the son. The elder Turney was paying teller of the institution twe ?y-nine years ago and' his sou was employed as errand boy. One day it became known tuat tile uanK examiners, were auuiu xo ?o through the books of the bank, and Turney went to the President and confessed, it is alleged, that he had been using the funds of the bank for several years and had lost much of the money in speculation. He said also, it is said, that one of the clerks of (he institution had helped him, and got a small share of the money. Turney turned over $6000 to the President of the bank, which was every dollar he had. He was permitted to resign his position, and then the Board of Direotors of the institution discussed what j was to be done with the son. It was t decided that it would not be fair to make the boy suffer for the alleged i crime of his father, and he was rei tained in the employ of the bank. So clever was the son, that he was I promoted from time to time. When the bank was changed from a State to a National bank, he was made as [ sistant note tener, ana- uien was maae | note teller. The officers of the instiJ tution changed and the trouble of tbe father was forgotten. It was only ! after Turney's arrest that one of tbe former directors of the bank told tbe story to tbe President of tbe institution. . . NATAL MURDERERS SHOT. .

I Icanin? \f noil or rorHfipfltes not t(? exceed $75,000,000 to establish municipal ownership 110,000, against 106,669. To proceed without delay to secure municipal ownership 111,862, against 108,025. The operation question received a < majority of 10,651, but was short nearly 18,000 of the required three-fifths. Mayor Dunne was In high spirits after the election. "It is the greatest victory yet for municipal ownership," he said. "I shall \ proceed at once to issue the certificates and take over the traction lines. Never mind about the operation. That question can again be submitted to the people at a special or general election. I am going to take over the lines, and I am certain Chicago will find a way to operate them."

But the faction opposed to municipal ownership declare that they still hold control of the Council. ' , jj An issue was made in many of the Aldermanic contests of whether the saloon licenses of the city shall be $500 "" or $1000. The lower figure was in existence up to March 5, when the City Council, by a close vote and after a hard fight, passed an ordinance raising the amount to $1000. The number of crimes lately committed in this city, against women has caused many people to believe that the crimes indirectly are \ attributable to the large number of saloons, and they favored the increase in license as a means of decreasing the number. The liquor interests made a stiong fight against every Alderman who was up for re-election who had voted for the license of $1000. Of the fifteen men v against whom they put theii Influence twelve were elected and three defeated. Of the nine Aldermen up for re-election who voted for tne continuance of the $500 license all were returned. There is little danger, however, that the higb license will be repealed.
