The Oldest and Best
S. S. S. is a combination of roots
and herbs of great curative powers,
and when taken into the circulation
searches out and removes all manner
of poisons from the blood, without
the least shock or harm to the system.
On the contrary, the general health
begins to improve from the first dose,
for S. S. S. is not only a blood purifier,
but an excellent tonic, and strengthens
and builds up the constitution
while purging the blood of impurities.
S. S. S. cures all diseases of a
blood poison origin, Cancer, Scrofula,
Rheumatism, Chronic Sores and
Ulcers, Eczema, Psoriasis, Salt
Rheum, Herpes and similar troubles,
and is an infallible cure and the only
antidote for that most horrible disease,
Contagious Blood Poison.
A record of nearly fifty years of
successful cures is a record to be proud
of. S. S. S. is more popular today
than ever. It numbers its friends by
the thousands. Our medical corresfondence
is larger than ever in the
istory of the medicine. Many writs
to thank us for the great good S. S. S.
has done them, while others are seeking
advice about their cases. All
letters receive prompt and careful
attention. Our physicians have made
a life-long study of Blood and Skin Diseases,
and better understand such cases
than the ordinary practitioner whc
makes a specialty of no one disease.
We are doing great
good to suffering
humanity through
our consulting aepartment,
and luvite
you to write us if you have any blood
or skin trouble. We make no chargt
whatever for this sendee.

It is said that Mr. Bryan's
paper, The Commoner, has a circulation
of 50,000 besidos those
sold at news stands and by news
boys on trains.
Referring to his phenonainal
success, Cha8. M. Schwab, president
of the newly organized billion
dollar steel trust, recently
said : uVery early I made up my
mind to make myself indispensable
to my employers instead of
continually looking at the clock".
We commend this sentiment to
the young men of Lancaster who
are in the employ of others. If
you make yourself indispensable
to your employer, he will not let
you go, but will pay you to stay

Rescue of Working Girls.
Baltimore, Md., March 11?
Thirty-five working girls made
narrow escapes from death from
suffocation by smoke or flames
in a small fire that destroyed
the establishment of N Frank &
Sons, dealers in rags, 1402 Mullikin
street, this city, today.
The women was employed on
the upper floor of the building,
and so quickly did the flames
spread that escape by the usual
means of egress was entirely
cut off. Joseph Gillingham, an
employee of the firm, jumped
from a second story window,
and, running to a neighboring
bakery, procured a ladder,down
which he helped 17 of the women
from the third story to the
roof of an adjoining building,
from which they made their
way to the ground. The others
were helped down ladders by
firemen or made their way down
fire escapes with the aid of bye

WENT HUNTING SUNDAY.
And One Was Killed bj a Stroke
ot Lightning.
News and Courier.
Accompanied by one companion,
young Benjamin C. Webb,
Jr., was struck by lightning
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock
at Elliott's Cut, and instantly
killed. The tragedy is one of
the saddest that has taken place
near here for sometime and
grief among the young man's
friends was universal yesterday
Elliott's Cut is not a very easy
place to (each, and on this ac
count the information of the
unfortunate accident was not
brought to the city until late
Sunday night. Even then for
sometime it was not known
whether Mr Webb or his companion,
Mr Lewis Jervey, had
been killed. Facts were meagre.
The suspense was dreadful until
a few friends went to the scene
of the accident and later tele
phoned that Mr Webb had been
dead for five or six hours. It
was too late then, of course, to
do anything except to bring the
body to the city. Really the
first information that camo to
the city was through a telephone
message from some person un
known. The person giving the
information was at Wappoo
Bridge and said that during the
afternoon the taller of two
young men had been struck by
lightning and billed. The person
said that the men had been
shooting, and from this information
it was supposed that the
unfortunate one was either Mr
Webb or Mr Jervey. The friends
who went to Wappoo did not
reach the city until 2 o'clock
yesterday morning. The night
was a stormy one and rowing
against tide and gale was very
difficult-. The boat the men had
to bring the body home in was
a frail one and the oars small,
but after vigorous pulling the
sad party landed the corpse.
The body was immediately tai

the coroner's inquest was held
yesterday morning.
Young Webb, acconpanied by
Mr. Lewis Jervey, had taken a |
small row boat during the morning
and gone to Wappoo for a
day's outing. The weather was
warm and there was just enough
wind on the water to give courage 1
to the boys to row harder and i
harder. The entire morning was !
spent in genuine sport. For hours i
nothing but the ring of a rifle was
heard* The sky was bright and 1
not a cloud lingered in its flight
long enough to cut olF the light
of the sun, A rest for lunch was ?
taken. But after the party had <
finished that impromptu meal ,
'dark clouds blurred the horizon. ,
! It was the first thunder storm of ,
the soason. But there was not ,
only thunder in the dark clouds, j
but lightning as well. When the j
first shower passed and the rain [
tell sparingly the hunters came
from under their shelter and hur
ried to their boat, determined to
row for home when the opportunity
came. Mr. Jervey was
now sliglitly in advance of young
Webb, but as both were almost in
the act of climbing into the boat L
and shoving off a bright flash
burst right, in their midst, fol- ,
lowed by a thunderous roar. The
bolt had struck and killed. Mr.
Jervey was stunned, but not so
seriously injured. The moment
he collected his thoughts he then
turned instinctively towards his
companion. Webb was lying
upon the rocks and sand, with
rain beating on his face and little

streams of smoke twirling from ha
water soaked clothing. Mr Jervey
rushed to his side and found
that he was dead. Dashing handfulls
of water upon Webb the
flames were very soon quenched.
The lightning struck bis head,
passed down his right side, thence
to his right foot. The right
trouser leg was ripped from seam
end to seam end and the top part
to a heavy hunting boot was
divided into two parts as neatly
as if it had been in the hands of
an experienoed shoemaker. The
stroke was a heavy one, as was
evidenced by the fact that Mr.
Jervey and several others were
shocked. One or two negro men
were passing near the beach at
the time of the accident and all
of them were shocked more or
less. One of them was severely
burned about the face and neck.
Mr. Jervey called to these men
for help and they willingly came
to his assistance, but, of course,
they could do nothing. It has
been said by some that the young
m*n nnnlH hiva huan Krnnslit
back to life had medical attention
been available. Naturally
as aoon as Mr. Jervey recovered
from the shock he did what he
could, but even his best efforts
were of no avail.
When the body was placed in
the hands of the coroner it was
possible to see the damage done
by tho electricity. A portion of
the body was blackened and
charred as if it had passed
through a fire. The eyebrows
and hair on the forehead were
scorched and singed. The verdict
of the coroner's jury was in
occordance with the facts as related
by the principal witness,
Mr. Jervey. The funeral services
will be held today.
Mr. Webb was in the 19th year
of his age. He was employed as
a clerk in the hardware store of
H. McGee Sanders, King street,
where he had a reputation as a
sober and industrious youth.
