First comes the sore throat, then the inflamed lungs or liver, next the disordered kidneys. Result—-- A serious illness. That is how COLD WEATHER KILLS. But prevention is better than cure. Sickness is an expensive luxury in these hard times. Why not avoid suffering, doc- tors’ bills, loss of health? BE WARNED in time! Tired, worn out, languid feelings are alarming symptoms! Put your system into strong, healthy condition. Give the blood new life and vigor. See that every organ isin sound working order. Prepare to resist colds, chills, pneumonia—Winter's many dan- gers. There is but one way by which you can certainly do this. Do you ask how? We answer—by using WARNER'S SAFE CURE, the great standard remedy which has stood the test of years. It is equaled by nothing else. WHY? BECAUSE It has saved thousands of live>; it has restored millions of sufferers to Ithas done at was never done, never pted before; made nzen stronger and healthier; It has made women brighter and happier; It stands alone in ail these qualities. Do you notthink it would be wise for you to use it and thus avoid the dangers of the season? ST. PAUL’S FAIR. It Was Successfully Inaugurated at Willard Hall Last Night. Willard Hall was beautifully decorated last evening for the fair and bazaar that commenced for the benefit of St. Paul’ Catholic Church, at the corner of 15th and V streets. Five hundred invitations were sent out to prominent people throughout the city to be present at the opening, and many responded. Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic Untversity, had promised to make the opening address, but in his ab- senc> Judge Morris of the Court of Appeals briefly spoke. There were a large number of attractive booths and tables, presided over by matrons and belles interested in the work, and the fair was most pleasantly inaugurated, insuring its success.

Abe Moore, colored, known as the ‘“Hard- headed Coon of Canton,” who has made a reco>d for himself in splitting inch planks with his head, tried the ‘trick once too often and fractured his skull at Baltimore on Sunday. A crowd of men begged the old man to show how hard his head was, and he said he would oblige them. Twice he raised a plank and brought it down on his head, but with no success, and the old man then got angry. He stood the board against a “bumper” at the end of one of the many railroad tracks, stepped back about three feet, and with head lowered like an angry bull rushed flercely at the board. The next moment the old man lay full length in the street. He had struck the plank with ter- rifie force, and he was thrown backward, his full length on the ground. He was stunned for a moment, but with assistance rose and slowly mounted his cart, and went home, but afterward had to go to the hos- pital, where it was found that he had fractured his skull.

He was given leave from October 1, 1892, to Jaruary 1, 1894, at the request of the orld’s fair commissioners, who desired his services at the Chicago exposition as an expert in Machinery Hall. He has been ordered to hold himself in readiness for sea duty on December 31. Chief Engineer Nathan P. Towne, Lieut. Ccmmander William Swift, Lieuts. Charles A. Stone, Oswin W. Lowry and C. W.

The statue of Roscoe Conkling at Mad- ison avenue and 23d sireet was unveiled on Sunday at New York without the slightest ceremony. There was no assembly of peo- ple, no word of eulogy, no note of music. The workmen erfployed by the sculptor, J. Q. A. Ward, mounted ladders in the driz- zling rain and unwound the wrapped sheet- ing that inclosed the fine bronze figure. But the statue was unveiled in that quiet way only because Mrs. Roscoe Conkling had often expressed the earnest desire that there might be no ceremony whatever when | the bronze was uncovered.

Wetmore Cryder Held. Ex-President G. Wetmore Cryder of the | Madison Square Bank of New York called at the district attorney's yesterday after- noon with his counsel. It was announced that he had been indicted for perjury, in having sworn falsely to reports presented to the bank superintendent. Judge Cowing fixed bail in $5,000, and W. A. Street of the firm of R. W. Cameron & Co., merchants of No. 28 South William street, beeame his security. The committee headed by ex-Congressman W. C. Maybury sent to the upper Michigan peninsula mining regions to investigate the condition of the needy has wired a lengthy report to Gov. Rich, and asserted that the reports have not been overdrawn. The recitals of distress are dreadful, says the report. Five thousand persons at Iron- wood, 2,000 at Bessemer and 500 at Wake- field must be assisted through the entire winter, In addition to an enforced idleness of sev- eral months by closing down the mines there has been a fearful epidemic fever. There are two feet of snow on the ground and the thermometer is ten degrees below zero, the women and children having but little, if any, covering from the intense cold. ooo ‘Trial of the Marblehea The trial of the new cruiser Marblehead will take place Thursday over a course of thirty-six nautical miles between Stratford and Saybrook ranges. Nothing is known of the merits of the cruiser, but it is expected that she will make as good a showing as did her sister ship, the Detroit. The Quin- tard Iron Works, which had the contracts of constructing the Marblehead, will be represented by N. F. Palmer. ——_- +06 _ To Reduce Locomotive Smoke. An arrangement of pipes and hot air to consume the smoke of railroad locomotives hi been patented by two officials of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The air is outside of the locomotive. It next passes through a coil of pipes in the boiler, in order that the air may be heated, after which it is distributed among many parallel pipes in the firebox. The pipes are rforated to allow the escape of air, which gives a greaily increased draught in the firebox. It is expected that the new device will better consume the coal and not allow so much unconsumed material to escape through the stack and thus greatly reduce the smoke nuisance. The patent is to be tested, and, if successful, may be used on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. —eo— Railroad Clerks Selling Passes. Two clerks in the office of General Super- intendent Caniff of the Lake Shore road at Cleveland have been doing a large busi- ness in selling free passes, forging the names of superior officers indiscriminately and by wholesale lots. Not only have they used the passes on the Lake Shore, but have forged orders on all the local roads. The officials leave passes signed, so that there will be no delay in giving’ out necessary transportation in case the general superin- tendent is out of town. The conspirators waited until Chief Clerk Wentz was out of town, when they made things hum until he returned. The passes were negotiated to scalpers by an out-of-town man, who was formerly a clerk in the same office. SS Death of a Catholic Bishop. Rev. Dr. Thomas Joseph Power, Roman Catholic bishop of St. Johns, N. F., died yesterday, aged sixty-three. He was born in Ireland in 1830 and was ordained priest in 1854. He was consecrated bishop of this diocese in 1870 and was a man of great in- tellectual attainments. He died suddenly, having been taken sick only Monday. Bishop Brennan, formerly of Dallas, Tex., was ap- pointed his assistant two months ago.

Other common symptoms are a love of solitude, a prone- ness to melancholy thoughts; inordinate bashful Ress; mervousness; sudden twitching of the mus- cles in the neck and other parts of the body; pain and weakness in the loins and back. If not check- ed in time the entire nervous system becomes de- ranged. its delicate machinery refuses to act, and | the result fs mental imbecility, insanity, death i life, a fate more horrible than any form of death. But if taken in hand tn time its progress can be stayed, and if not too far advanced its ~avages can be repaired.
