Baby Clothes Hanger.
Coat hangers of various sorts have
long been Jamillar. A novelty in this
line is the baby clothes hanger, which
is made in precisely the same fashion
as a hanger for the clothes of adults,
but of only half its size, a coat hanger
in miniature. Baby clothes hangers
made of twisted wire are when untrimmed
sold at a very low price;
trimmed with silk or with ribbons
they cost more, but they are all very

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
bylocalapplications as theycannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to core deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when ic is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
bedestroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten

The way some persons cling to coffee
even after they know it is doing

seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
"One day I asked her why she did
not give up coffee, as a cousin of (

Postum. But mother was such a i
slave to coffee sha thought it would
be terrible to give it up.

Announcement by Chief at Rio Janeiro
That Conspirators Have
Pled?Detectives Searching For
Head of Alleged Conspiracy.
Rio Janeiro, Brazil.?The Bratilian
police announce they have discovered
an Anarchistic plot here
having as its object the destruction
of part of the American fleet now
iying in the harbor.
In an official note sent out by the
Chief of Police-he says:
"Some time before the arrival of
the American fleet at Rio Janeiro the
Brazilia* Government received from
wasnington ana fans aavices tnat
Anarchists of different nationalities
intended to damage one or several
of the ships of the American fleet.
"The names and addresses of the
conspirators were indicated by information
which the police here had
received previously from France
and Germany. The police of this district
are working with the police of
Sao Paulo and Minas Geraes, and
[ am sure every precaution will be
sxercised and the most rigorous vigilance
observed both on land and at
sea to prevent any injury being
lone."
The Chief of Police, after having
made this official statement, said that
lie did not feel he should go into
iny further details with .regard to
:he conspiracy, but he authorized the
statement that the plot was organzed
by one Jean Fedher, who resides
n Petropolis, and he added that the
people of the United States could rest
jasy, as all of the conspirators had
:aken refuge in the interior.
The conspiracy, while centering in
Rio Janeiro and Petropolis, had
ramifications in Sao Paulo and Milas
Geraes.
The man Jean Fedher was the
;hief conspirator here, but it is unierstood
foreign Anarchists were
leeply involved in the plot. It is beieved
Fedher has fled to Sao Paulo,
ind members of the police who know
lim have been sent to that place for
:he purpose of apprehending him.
Dne of the detectives, who was well
icquainted with Fedher, having
served on the police force at Petrololis
for some time, returned from
hat place after having made investigations
there, and had a long con,'erence
with the Chief of Police at
tio Janeiro. The latter gave it to
ie understood later that the Sao Pauo
police are on the track of the arch:onspirator
and expect to arrest him

As yet the people of Brazil are
gnorant of the details of the plot

here has been some slight inkling of
he matter. The impression <which
he exposure of this plot will create
lere will be a profound one, because
t is the first Anarchistic conspiracy
hat has ever been known in Brazil.
The police of Sao Paulo have sent
vord that they are on the track

Washington Lee Capps, Chief of the
Bureau of Construction and Repair
of the Navy Department, made answer
to the critics of the navy at a
hearing before the House Committee
on Naval AfTairs. To the minds practically
of all the members of the committee,
Admiral Capps' statements
were a complete refutation of the
charges which have been made
against certain features of the construction
of American battleships.
Admiral Capps displayed no animosity
or ill-feeling' toward the
chronic and scientific fault-finders,
and discussed the subject of naval ar
cnitecture 111 a dispassionate way.
While he riddled the Reuterdahl article
in McClure's Magazine in its
general features, still he gave credit
to certain criticisms made. In particular
he admitted the justice of the
criticism of the ammunition hoists
on battleships. He advocated a complete
change of hoists, and asked for
an appropriation of $175,000 to this
end.
The Admiral discuBsed at length
the question of high free boards and
low free boards on battleships. He
3aid that the general type of naval
architecture which is followed by the
Board of Construction is the same as
has been followed since 1889. This
3tyle was adopted by Great Britain
after the subject had been considered
thoroughly and exhaustively by the
leading naval architects and experts

not* the Isthmian Canal Commission
should purchase steamers and establish
a service between Panama and
the Pacific Coast ports of the United
States, to be operated in conjunction
with the steamers now running between
New York and Colon."
In his report Mr. Bristow criticises
the service of the Pacific Mall Steamship
Company to Panama. He
thinks a Government line on the Pacific
coast would be desirable for the
transportation of canal suDplies and
materials and canal employes, for
keeping open and improving the Isthmian
route .if commerce and for urocuring
cargo for the Panama Railroad
stes.mships homeward bound
from Colon.
Mr. Bristow represents General
Manager Scbwerin, of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Companv, as comnlaining
against the action of the
United States in permitting foreign
lines to use the Isthmian Railway
upon the same terms as American
lines. Mr. Bristow argues that as
the canal when completed is open tc
tho lice nf ail nations on eaual terras
there should be no discrimination
now against foreign steamships.
Mr. Bristow says that to perform
the service required on the Pacific

of from Bis to nine vessels. Hs estimates

He pointed out that Japan had, followed
the plan of low free boards,
while Russian ships had the high

now at the bottom of the sea, while
Japanese ships are still floating.
Since the Russian-Japanese war,
the Japanese have been building their

the Russ ians, apparently realizing the
error of their high free boards when
going to battle in the Sea of Japan,
had pumped water between their
decks, and had even loaded coal in
the staterooms of the officers in order
to get their ships as close to the water
as possible, and afford the least possible
tag'3t.
Anierican ships, he said, had a little
more free board than the Japanese
and a little less than the English
ships of the Dreadnought type, the
English, in order to get greater speed
having been forced to allow a little
more tree board.
The questions raised in the Reuterdahl
article, he said, had afforded
subjects for argument, dispute, controversy
and discussion among naval
arctiitects since the construction of
the modern navy began and doubtless
always would do so. There wa3
always a fight between a~mor men
and armament men, between steam
engineering departments and other
departments, but the result in the
end had been the construction of vessels
which present the best knowledge

McDonald, Brown and Bailey and
two Greeks were working in the bottom
of a shaft eighty-five feet below

snapping the cable used to haul the
cage from the shaft and hurling thousands

into the shaft. From the bottom of
the compartment in which the men
were working to the pumping station
a series of rickety ladders ofTered the
only means of egress.

streaming down on them the five men
struggled up these ladders. Half way
up falling timbers knocked the two
Greeks from the ladders, killing
them. Bailey, McDonald and Brown
reached the pump station. Its timbered
roof withstood the rock and
timber that came down the shaft and
offered them a prison, where they
crouched, while atintervals rocks aiid
timbers kept crashing above them_
threatening momentarily to crush the
deep tomb.
At first it was thought on the surface
that all five men had perished,
but twenty-four hours after the accident
the three buried men managed
! to make themselves heard by tapping
on a six-inch water pipe that reached
from the pumping station to the surface.
Communication was established
with the world above and food
and drink were plenteously lowered
through the pipe. A large supply
was sent down, as It was feared the
pipe might be broken before the rescuers
could reach the imprisoned
men. But throughout the long weeks
of imprisonment this pipe was daily
used. A portable telephone was lowered
and the men were able to talk
with those above. This telephone
carried from friends the news of the
world and messages of cheer, and
from the burled men reports of their
condition.
Clearing of the debris was slow
work, as Umbers, rocks and earth
were so twisted together that a-new
shaft had !to be cut for most of the
1 1000 feet. At no time did the entombed
men suffer greatly.
BOY DIES FROM FEAR OF KNIFE
Did Not Tell Parents, of Detroit, ot
Operation He Expected.
Detroit, Mich.?Anxious to save
his parents worry, Charles . Frank
Watson, sixteen, went to the office
of a physician recently to undergc
a surgical operation without telling
them of the nature of his errand.
Within an hour he was dead, and the
first hint that he was to go under the
knife reached the father and mothei
when his body was brought home.
When he left his home to go to
the physician's he bade them good
by as carelessly as if only going out
for a walk; but one of tha. most
curious features of the case was that
the operation was not performed,
even though it cost the boy his life.
Young Watson suddenly lost consciousness
while his cousin and a
brother physician were occupied with
their preparations.

Within five short years a great

native population of Lahore.
Children of native gentlemen can be
seen being taken out for an airing
by ayahs morning and evening. Certain
bold men have begun to,take out
their wives in the evening for a drive
In open vehicles.
A week ago we saw the daughter
jf a man of position wanting wna
her father on the railway platform 1
at Lahore. She was dressed in what
seemed like an English gown, had
English shoes on, and when her fcu?band
came up left her father and
walked about with him. Her face
was quite uncovered. Let those who
have relatives in Lahore go' there ' ' ;
and see for themselves the state of
things. They will see wives going
out shoulder to shoulder with their .
husbands iiX the evenings, having said ,
good by to old restrictions.
