NO RELIEF FOR 15 YEARS. All Sorts of Remedies Failed to Curt Eczema?Sufferer Tried Cuticura and is Entirely Cured. "I have had eczema for over fifteen years, and have tried all sorts of remedies to relieve me, but without avail. I stated ; my case to one of my friends and he recoitlmended the Cuticura Remedies. I bought them with the thought that they would be unsuccessful, as with the others. But after using them for a few weeks I noticed to my surprise that the irritation, and peeling of the skin gradually decreased, and finally, after using five cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment it disappeared entirely. I feel now like a-new man, and I would gladly recommend these remedies to all who are afflicted with skin diseases. David Blum, Bo:c A, Bedford Station, X. Y., Nov. 6, 1905."

AWFUL SLAUGHTER Wrought in Frightful Wreck Near Washington, THIRTY-EIGHT ARE DEAD While Sixty Are on List of Injured, Trains Crashed in Dense Fog. Heartrending Scenes Enacted. An appalling disaster occurred Sun j day night at 7 o'clock on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Terra Cotta, about three miles l'rom Washington, in which thirty-eight persons wore killed and over sixty injured, some of them so seriously that they will die. The accident was caused by the collision of train No. 6?G, due in Washington at G: 25 p. m., from Frederick, Md., known as the Frederick special, witii a dead-head passenger equipment special of eight cars. Over 200 passengers were aboard the ill-fated train. The railway oflicials are unable to assign any cause for the collision. As soon as tlie news of the wreck i'CilVlieu UiC a:i auwu..i.iwj i; v unable, with as many physicians as could be assembled, were sent to the scene. Of the injured seven were taken to Freeciman's hospital, fifteen to the United States Soldiers' Home hospital aDd twenty were brought into the city on a special train to be carried to the various hospitals. Fran:: p. Bodlitz, a newspaper man of Frederick, Md., who was slightly injured, in describing lis experience, said: "I was in the car next to the smoker, talking with a gentleman and his wife from Detroit, Mich. We were all standing up, the car being crowded. Suddenly we heard an'awful noise and then a crash. Women began screaming and the next thing 1 knew I found myself rolling down an embankment, where some one picked mo up and I found I was not badly hurt. It is impossible to describe the scene. Women and children were running about crying for their parents, and mothers and fathers were rushing around trying to find their children. The dead and injured wore strewn along the track for a distance of a tnile." The dead bodies were found iving beside the track for a considerable distance. The wreck occurred at G: 39 p. m. A dense fog was prevailing and made objects perceptible but a few feet ahead. It was impossible at first to determine the exact extent of the catastrophe. The ill-fated train runs only on Sunday for the benefit of Wasliingtonians who either have country places on the line or go to visit relatives. It leaves Frederick at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and is scheduled to reach Washington at 6:25 o'clock. C. W. Galloway, superintendent of transportation of the Baltimore and Ohio, stated that it was impossible yet to determine the cause of die wreck. He said: "We have on this division the most modern block system. Just what occurred we are unable at this hour to say. Because cf the confusion incident to the collision, of caring lor the dead and injured, we have been unable to consider the proper causes. We have not yet interrogated the opera tors and until we do so we cannot be certain what the situation was." It is stated that the danger signal at Takoma Park, a short distance frcm the scene of the accident, was set when the train of empties passed. The train was going at the rate of sixty miles an hour, and Engineer Hildebrand stated that on account of the heavy fog he could not see the signal. His train ran into the Frederick train just as it was pulling out of Terra Cotta, where it had stopped to take on four or five passengers. BOOZE CAUSED RACE RIOT. Mississippi Governor Favors Prohibition for the Negroes. Governor Vardaraan of Mississippi states that the newspaper reports concerning the disturbance in Kemper county were greatly exaggerated. He nnt think that the death list will number over four or five. He further states that the trouble was caused by liquor and favors the same prohibition laws which are applied to the Indians In the west for the negro. JEFFRIES TO MEET SQUIRES In Fistic Bcut for $30,GOO and World's Championship. Articles were signed at San Fran cisco by William Delaney representing James J. Jeffries and B. F. Taylor, representing the Rhyolite Athletic Club, for a light for the heavyweight championship of the world and a $30,000 purse at Rhyolite, Nev., next April, between Jeffries and William Squires of Australia. VARDAMAN ON SCENE.Mississippi Governor Accompanies the Troops to Scooba and Will Investigate Gory Race Clash. A special from Jackson, Miss., says: Governor Vardantan and several menI bcrs of his staff left for Scooba Wednesday evening at six o'clock cn a special train. He carried with him about twenty-five ^members of the Capital Light Guards, under command cf Captain Albert Fairley. Adjutant General Fridge preceeded him about three hours, going on the regular train to Meridian, where he had i another special train waiting to car- 1 ry the governor and militia direct to ! Scooba. Latest advices from .Scooba and Wahalak state that quiet prevails at both of these towns, as well as throughout the surrounding territory and that the troops and civil authorities are in complete control of the situation. According to the most reliable reports the disturbance of the last few days in Kemper county were not as serious as at first reported. The trouble is attributed to the actions of a reckless mob, which, in searching for the negro who attacking Condutcor Cooper aboard a Mobile and Ohio train last Sunday, and who shot and killed Constable O'Brien of Wahalak killed three negroes and wounded several ethers. Feeling against the negroes was intensified by the Mobile and Ohio railroad at Crawford station Monday night, and in the belief that the mob was beyond his control, Deputy Sher- i iff Alexander, at Scooba, asked that \ troops be sent there at 'once, so that the innocent negroes might be protected. Two companies of state troops are now encamped at Scooba. It is believed that during the trouble ten negroes and two whites were killed. Wednesday night the streets of Gr?r/Vh? wprp pmwded with nearroes who had gathered from miles around. They were highly excited, but there was nothing threatening in their demeanor. According to their statements most of them had gathered through fear that violence would be done than if tbey remained In the surrounding districts, and fear alone bad driven them into the towns. With companies of militia patrolliDg the streets there seemed to be little apprehension among either whites or Macks of any further trouble. Most of the white people in Scooba are giving the troops their heartiest co-operation in efforts to restore tranquility. Among these whites the opinion is freely expressed that the entire trouble was uncalled for, and should have been averted. MAFIA AGAIN ACTIVE. Six Italians Found Mysteriously Murdered in New Orleans?Crime Laid to Secret Society. Six Italians were found murdered in a tenement house in Dumaine street in New Orleans early Wednesday morning. Some of them had been burned to death, and there is* no doubt that the men were -victims of the Mafia, which lia3 been working secretly in New Orleans for many years, and has broken out at intervals, when revolting crimes have been* committed. Not since the lynching of Italians by the wholesale, several years age, has the New Orleans fpreign populace been in such a high state of excitement. Following the discovery of the murders," the excitement grew to such bounds that the entire police department was hurried to the tenement house. The police could not cope with the situation and a call was sent for every able-bodied fireman in the department to hurry to the scene. The murders are believed to have been committed during the ?arly part of Tuesday night and had undoubtedly been planned ahead. That no screams heard from the murdered men leads to the theory that many men were engaged in the slaughter and that the victims were set upoii at a given signal and struck down before any of them could make an outcry. The bodies of the dead men were literally hacked to pieces and those that were burned had evidently been set on fire after being put to death. The murderers are said not to have left a clew to their identity, if they are known the Italians are the only ones who can enlighten the police, and up to this time they have refused to , talk. The police are of the opinion that the murders were committed by one of the many secret societies and that the six men who were slain were marked for death by their own countrymen. RAIL HORROR IN SCOTLAND. Storm Causes Disaster in Which Sixteen People Lose Life. In a railroad collision in Scotland, caused by tbc heavy storms of the last few days, sixteen persons have been killed and over thirty injured. The accident occurred near Arbroath, on the North British railroad, between Edinbr.rg and Aberdeen and some distance north of Dundee. \ mM > . A T ">* ,* - j-... LAND MINUS POVERTY. DREAM OF THE ECONOMISTS FULFILLED IN THE WEST. The Vast Grain Field Where Thers Arc No Poorhouses, No Fresh Air Fund, No Charity Work, Because None is Needed?Universal Rule That of Prosperity. ? The dream of the economist is a land without poverty. T:ie ambition of the statesman is a people without want, able to obtain those necessaries the use of which will permit them to maintain a state of physical efficiency. The dwellers on the great plains of America. approach near to that ideal. r rom me Missouri mver to mo Rocky Mountains, from Canada to the new State of Oklahoma is one vast grain field. It is the home of agriculturists and of people whose prosperity depends directly on the products of the farm. Tc be sure, there are mines and oil^nd manufacturing; but the staple resource of the region is the farm. When the crops fail the general income languishes, and this is the test of a community's basis. In all that territory are only three large cities, Omaha, Kansas City and the Minneapolis St. Paul settlement. St Louis, though on the west side of the river, does not belong in the Prairie State catalogue.* Denver is primarily a mining centre.. Each of these cities is remarkably prosperous; each of them has more work for laborers than there are laborers for hire; each is building and extending its limits as never before. The problem of the poor, the struggle of the tenement house and the efforts cf organized charity are little known. Poverty is unperceived because the opportunity for wage earning is, and has been, present in these rapidly developing communities, advancing as nf LLIGJ' ua?c ii urn t tua^^g cv? ~.150,000 to 300,000, in practically uninterrupted progression. The construction of municipal improvements, the erection of stores, public buildings and dwellings, the multitude of other improvements, added to the manufacturing industries, gave all not physically incapacitated a chance. "Have you a fresh air fund or plan for open air outings?" we asked of some church workers in one of the West's bustling cities. "Why should we?" was the reply, "when a walk of a few blocks takes any one to the fields and running streams? This is only a big country town, after all." A big country town?perhaps that best expresses the present day condition of the Western cities, those that form the centres of population for the inland empire. They retain some of the freshness and the heart interest of smaller municipalities and of the open lands. More true is it of Ihe middle class cities that are scattered, two or three in a State, over the level leagues, gaining sustenance from local agricultural surroundings. They are indeed big country towns. On their boulevards one sees in summer evenings happy* families stowed away in comfortable surreys; * * * - ? 1 ' -? 1 orrmo coatiess nusDanas luuugiug uu ian^ they themselves have mowed; neighbors visiting on the porches along the best residence street as well as in the farthest suburb. Past the finest houses in the town roll the automobiles and along the same streets roll perambulators pushed by workers in the creamery or in the carriage factory. It is a democratic procession that makes up the moving picture and you wonder where are the poor of this community of 40,000 people. "You mean the colored population?" suggests your host. "Needn't worry about them. They are getting along all right. We would be glad to pay the women four or five dollars a week as servants, but they will not work for us. They say they do not have to do that. They can work by the day half the time and make more money. So we hire them by the day part of the time and do our own work the remainder of the week. Poverty? into their homes. Some of them have pianos; organs are common?they don't suffer." "But you give to charity?" "Of course. Occasionally a family is found that needs help. The father or mother is ill, death or accident has lessened the income. When that hap pens and it is known supplies are forthcoming in abundance and the needy ones are well cared for. We do not have any suffering poor with us in any other sense." So it is in other small cities, Des Moines, Dubuque, Lincoln, Wichita, Topeka, Sioux Falls, Fargo, Pueblo, Guthrie,. Muskogee. Up and down the plains region, travel from one busy capital to another, from one business centre to another, it is all the Same story. Are all rich? No, not even a considerable portion rich, as the worldgoes. The list of millionaries places less than a dozen in all this empire of as many States, and it is probable that the wealth of some of these has Xl been overesumaicu. But in these towns there is no fringe of that desolation or of poverty stricken dependence which mark equally large cities of the Eastern States. Every resident enioys a familiar acquaintance with green grass, flowers, pure air and sunshine; every one in good health has sufficient to eat ani wear without dependence on alms. Then come the villages and small towns?most of them dignifying themselves in due Western boastfulness with the title city. They may have only 150 inhabitants or the census ?? taker may find 5,000 to 10,000. Bi neither event does he find reminders ct' pinched resources nor lack of necessaries. Take a typical community of 5,000 people out in central Kansas. It is the centre of an average farming community. In it are twenty-four church organizations and seventeen lodges. It has been through a boom and recovered, and has the usual social dif- \ Acuities attending a settlement where everybody is familiar with his neighbors' business. This is the extent of its charity work. Each Thanksgiving Day at a union' service in one of the churches is taken a collection for the city mission, fund. This amounted last year to $34.60, the year preceding to $37. A committee, consisting of two members from each of half a dozen leading churches, works with the city officials, that none ' of the needy may be missed. The principal expenditure is in buy- ;'j ing Christmas baskets and sending ; M them to the families of widows or to the aged as reminders of the day. . /gm 'Occasionally some immigrant is stranded here as he goes with hflfr ' family across country in his white covered wagon," explained the chair- % man of the committee. "We helped two such cases last year. Some families with little children where the parents are ill have been assisted, but ; we have not spent all our money this year, nor did we last year." ^ "But do not the town and county spend something for charity?" "Yes, and there is a poor farm, but it has only seventeen inmates, all of them there because infirm, sick or" aged. It is really a hospital. It haS steam heat and bathrooms, and is * more a home than a public refuge. The city marshal sometimes takes food or coal to families in town,, but it is when sudden misfortune has visited' the home and not because of poverty in th: usual sense of the word." This was characteristic of other towns in which inquiries were made. Many of them had even a better record, not having so many railroads and so escaping the trampdom that guides its movements by the direction of lines of ties. The tramp problem, closely allied as it is to poverty, exists in the plains V ^ region as elsewhere. While distances. are expansive and opportunity for curing work so numerous as to be impertinent the procession of able bodied men loafs along the highways and halts in the parks and groves. Questioned, most of the members of the Guild of the Wandering Foot will |*|j say they are bound for the "Coast," or are "going East to the wife's folks." Many towns have ordinances making the giving of alms to strangers anoffence, specifying that beggars shall be sent to the city authorities. In summer when the farmers are begging for help in the harvest it Is aggravating to see able bodied men ;;i| living their irresponsible life and fusing ?2 a day and board for work in the wheat fields. Kansas asks for ?? 25,000 workers in harvest every sum- ? mer, Nebraska uses 15,000 and the '/| Dakotas as many more. THE KAISER'S VOICE. His Words Preserved on First Perma- ^ nent Roll in Phonetic Archives. ; One of the novelties of the last few years is the establishment of phonetic -v; archives, in which the voices of noteworthy persons are to be preserved.1 The first record actually taken for ; such a permanent archive in America was that of a European/Through the _ American Ambassador Charlemagne Vp Tower, I applied for a "record of the : voice of the German emperor, for pres- | ervation in duable material in' Harvard University, the National Museum at Washington, and the Library, of? ; Congress at Washington. The record,,' is to be kept as a historical document for posterity. The Phonetic Archives ; at the institutions mentioned are to include records from such persons as- ^ will presumably have permanent his- ?torical interest for America. The im- Mi portance of the undertaking can be estimated by considering the present value of voice records by Demosthenes* ; Shakespeare, or Emperor William the- .. Great." The Emperor consented, and the apparatus was set up in the palace. I ' asked lor four records, one for each 'i&g of the institutions mentioned and one for my own scientific investigation; The Emperor, however, made only '; ' two records, designating one .for Hairvard University and the other for u mimnom tvio twn rornhn vaiv UIUC1 pui XUV bnv * VVW. made by a phonograph (with specially ' selected recorders) on wax cylinders. ^ Such cylinders are of no permanent value, because they are often injurtd ^ by mold, and sooner or later they always crack, owing to changes in temperature. : From each original "master record" ^ a metal matrix was made by coating : ^ it with graphite and then galvanopl*- j||j ting it. The wax master record was tSen removed (being destroyed in the -'J? process), leaving a vmold from which ^ "positives"?that is copies of the origiHo Mat in a bard Rhpl?fl/? comiposition and in celluloid. Some ^ casts were also made in wax, and new ? metal matrices were made from these. ~ In this manner the following material , y was obtained: (1) A metal matrixand' ^ positive of Record No. 1, deposited in ^ the National Museum at Washington;- % (2) a similar set of Record No. 1, de- ^ posited in the Congressional Library r;f at Washington; (3) a similar set of Record No. 2, deposited in Harvard- ; ^ University; (4) a complete set for "J? both records (a metal matrix and a *, positive of each), which I presented . /V to the Emperor; and (5) a reserve set : of both. These are the only records of the German Emperor's voice which ^ exist at the present time.?The Cen- rv tury. ^ ^
