TENEMENT HOUSE HOKItOlt 1
Twenty-five I'ersoiiH i'eriuli in a
Fire in New York.
^few York, Nov. 1.?Twenty,
one men, three women and a tenmonths-old
babe were burned or
suffocated in a fire that started
early this morning in the Ihffise
of All Nations:, a tive story/tene
ment house at No. 42(^/rfth ave.
The police and courier believe
the tiro to have b# n of incendiary
origin, jr
The fire^iad been burning for
8omejfnnutes before it was disc^y<*red.
It had started in the
basement and rushing upward,
had attacked the stairway leading
to the apartments. In a short
space of time the tlames had so
enveloped the stairway that egress
from the building by it was im- I
possible. The house from tha|
third to (tie fifth floor was entirely
destroyed.
At the windows, front and rear
bodies of men and women were
jammed, showing that a desper
ate struggle to get free had resulted
in the complete choking of
these exits to the fire escapes and
had been the cause of a*number
of tho inmates being suffocated.
Lying on a bed alongside a window
at the rear of the fourth
lloor a fireman found the
bodies of fivo men. Each had
clutched the one next to him in
an endeavor to push him away in
order to get to the (ire escape
outside. The features of the men
| were distorted, some with rage
others with agony and in two in
stances the men had gripped each
other so hard that blood had been
drawn and had ran over their
hands.
On the third floor were found the
bodies of Maculeta Vingiguerro
and her baby. The mother had
crawled to the front window and
had succeeded in grtssping the
sill when she was suffocated. In
her arms lay the body of her
child.
On I he third lloor in an apart,ent,
where a Halloween party was
being held, John O'Toole, one of
the occupants, started to go to
the street. Ho was met by a
vol nine of smoke as he opened
the door. Ho ran to the fire
escape, followed by all those in
the Hat, with the exception of his
mother, whose charred body was
found lying at the entrance to the
apartment. O'Toole and the
others escaped.
A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson,
when getting his usual Saturday
nierhfc hath stpnnArt h??lr
against a hot atove which burned
him aeverely. 'Ihe child was in
great agony and hia mother could
do nothing to pacify him. Remembering
that ahe had a bottle
of Chamberlain's Rain Halm in
the house, she thought ahe would
try it. In leas than half an hour
after applying it the child waa
quiet and asleep, and in leas than
two weeks waa well. Mrs. Benson
is a well known resident of
Kellar, Va. Pain Balm is an

Liverpool Merchant Thinks
America Will Soon Consume
ifs i'roduct.
London, Oct. 30.?Sir Allied
Jones, K. (J. M. (}.. a leading
Liverpool merchani and president
of the Chamber ot' Commerce of
that city, foresee0 *he (lav wh?n
'America will cease i.o supply
Lancashire with cotton and when
the United States may even have
to look to West Africa for her
own needs.
Sir Alired, in an interview,
said:
uFor three years I have been
studying this (piestion of producing
cotton. America will soon
want all the cotton she grows.
Her population is increasing and
her consumption of cotton is in
creasing in proportion. About
ten years ago America produced
7,000.000 bales ot cotton and
Oreat Britain took half of it. Now
America produces 11,000,000 and
Britain takes no more than she
(lid ten years ago. This is a luet
that startled me and showed nie
it was at snlutcly necessary we
should stir ourselves and make
some effort to provido a supply
of cotton from other sources.
UI got seed from Ameiica and
sent it out to all the colonies.

I <ioButi.iiurn ? ;iss SLarieu, ailU I lie
results 01 I lie Association's work
have been more satisfactory than
even I "< ven anticipated. The
whole of the West African col
onies an ! the West Indies have
been made to take deep interest
in the question of raising cotton."
A Hemarkable Case.
One of the most remarkable cases
of a cold, deep seated on the
lungs, causing pneumonia, is that
of Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner,
Marion, lnd., who was entirely
cured by the use of One Minute
Cough Cure. She says: "The
coughing and straining so
weakened me that I ran down in
weight from 14S to 92 pounds. I
tried a number of remedies to no
; i * 1 t j /a _ *?
avail until i useu one minute
Cough Cure. Four bottles of this
wonderful remedy cnred me entirely
of the cough, Rtrengthed
my lungH and restored me to my
normal weight, health and
strength." Sold by Crawford
