(Next to “Sun” pis) 28d UNABLE 70 ANSWER. A Question That Puzzies Half the American People. Bat is Answered in a Word by a Dis- tinguished Student of Liv- ing Problems. “What's the matter?” ‘This is a question that fs heard and asked many times a day. We meet friends whom we have not seen for a time, and, noticing a change in their appearance or actious, the first question asked is: “What's the matter?’ ‘The strong man is stricken down in the street, or im his office, or shop. His friends are mystified. A physician is summoned, and his frst duty is to ascertain what is the matter. How many men and women are there today who are wholly unable to answer this question for themselves? They know they are not well; they complain of nervourtess, poor appetite, spells of dizziness, distress or nausean after eat- ing, irregular action of the bowels, extreme Weakness, and sleepless nights. Or, if they do sleep, they wake up feeling more tired than when they went to bed. If they ate brain workers they find great difficulty in applying themselves to their usual tasks. Either physical or mental exertion is followed by profound exhaustion. Could there people give a definite answer if they were asked “What's the matter?’ Let us answer for them. ‘Their nervous systems are badly out of repair. Perbaps they have over- worked themselves mentally or physically; perhaps they have been long harassed by the cares and re- sponstbilities of ousiness, or have been over diligent in their studies, or have allowed social pleasures to interfere with their regular hours of rest. Per- cbance they have passed through a period of ill- ness, and a weakness and prostration remains, which persists in spite of the ordinary means of treatment. Or, if the persons be young or middle- aged men, It may be that their condition is par- tially or wholly due to irregular habits of life, &e. Be that as it may, they are suffering from disordered nervous systems, and the sooner they real- ize this and take the steps necessary to recuperate their lost vitality the better it will be for them. Unless they do this it ts safe to say they will never know another hour of health or happiness. On the contrary, their sufferings will steadily in- crease; they will be preyed upon by chronle dis- eases of the worst ind, avd they will become physical and mental wrecks. Don't be deceived by piiysiclans, who merely guess at your troubles and try to make light of them. Don't complete your rain by burdening your system with the thousand and one nerve tonics, rerve stimulants and nerve foods that crowd the drug stores, It is not stimulation you need, for that leads you to overtax your strength and so hasten the final collzpse, What you require is a reconstruction of the worn out tissues; a butldin up anew of the nervous system; a restoration the revivifying and vitalizing agent of which the body has been robbed. Such is the principle and effect of the treatment that has made Dr. R. A. Walker famous both in Burope and America as the wost advanced special- ist of the age. In all cases be effects a proupt and permanent cure. Many men are sufferers from nervous exhaustion, nervous debility, Lmpaired mem- ory, low spirits, irritavle temper, and a tiousand and one derangements of mind and body that re- sult from past or present excesses, Wreekgd constitutions and softening of the brain, paralysis, epilepsy, and in- sanity. To reach and reclaim these unfortunates is one of Dr. Walker's aims, and he has been the means of restoring huudreds of such sufferers to health and happiness. Persons suffering from long-standing or wasting diseases of any kind should consult Dr. Walker at once, eithe: personally or by rat 1411 Penn- sylvania avenne, adjoining Willani’s Hotel.

The Sun remarks that the scores of games others than those played by New York and Belti- more this week will not hereafter be print- ed in that paper. Yesterday's victory over Cleveland assured Baltimcre the champion- ship. The Sun gives a picture of the pennant which the Orioles will fly from now until the close of rext year, as a token of the championship it has won. The design was accepied yesterday by Treasurer Vonderhorst and today he will order the flag to be made. The National League constitution requires the pennant to be solely of the United States colors, and for this reason the Oriole colors were not used as Treasurer Vonder- horst desired. The vennant is designed to be twenty-five feet long and five feet wide at the mast. The head of the flag will be of solid blue color, with the words “Champion Base Ball Club of the United States,” in white letters. These words are required by the constitu- tion to be used with the name of the ciub and the year in which the championship was won. The pennant will have a broad border of red, indicated by the gray tint on the pic- ture, and the inscription “Baltimore, 184,” will be in large red characters on a white field. Scenes at Cleveland. A special dispatch to the Sun grom Cleve- land says: The Baltimores are champions of United States. By their victory over the Clevelands this afternoon they left the New York ciub hopelessly beaind, and_nothing can now de- prive Manager Hanion and his great ciub of the honors which they have honestly won and which they so justly Jeserve. As soon as the game was over the Baltl- more players let loose a yell fashioned after the “cries” of the various colleges, and all the way in from the grounds they flung the slogan upon the crisp and almost wintry air. It ran like this: | “Are we in it? es, We are. Baltimore, Baltimore. ‘Rah! "Rah! Rah!" The success of Hanlon’s men was proved to be a popular one by the crowd of travel- ers from all over the country that gatherad on the sidewalk of the Hollenden Hotel to greet them when they arrive] from the Scene of conflict. It was well known among them that a Baltimore victory mevnt the championship for the monumental city, and a grand hurrah went up as the best ball team in the land drove up in their car- riages. Men from New York, Boston, Cleve- land and other league cilies rushed up to them and wrung their Jands, and New Yorkers who had seen the games here were loudest in their congratulations, assuring the men that they did net approve of the methods which have recently been adopted to belittle Baltimore's honest triumph. This crowd of congratulators-rit was aimest a mob—hustled the boys into the hotel corri- dors and there, lined up before the counter, they sang a song written ‘by’ the club's poet laureate, Maj. A. K. Fulton, who ;oined the boys in Macon, Ga., last roh, and who has stuck steadfastly to, them and rooied assiduously ever since. Then Joe Kelly shouted: “What will we do to the Giants?” And all hands in a roysing chorus gave their awful war cry: “Get at ‘em.” Hanlon, during this demonstration, stood by silent, but blushing and smiling, and his blushes did not diminish a fot when one of the boys cried: “What's the matter with Hanlon?” And with a roer that shook the hotel came back the answer: “He's all right.” Three cheers and three times three were given by the players for the premier man- ager of the league, and when the lads finally decided to go to their rooms and Gon their every-day clothes there was not a soul in the house who did not know that the champions of the United States were among them. Tonight the entire Baltimore club occu- pied the boxes at the performance of “A Temperance Town” at the Euclid Avenue Opera House. Flowers were presented to all the ladies of the company by the club, and Manager Hanlon was ih turn given a large bouquet of roses by one of the gentle- men of the cast. Manager Hanlon replied in a neat speech, and the house, at the sug- gestion of the performers, gave three cheers for “The Champions of 1804." ESPER IN THE BOX. the The Ex-Senator Pitched Baltimore Into the Champto: With Esper, the ex-Washingtonian, in the box, Baltimore won from Cleveland the game which gives the pennant to the Ori- oles. Cy Young was relieved by Mike Sul- livan in the fifth, and the latter in turn by Wallace. The feature of the contest was the superb fielding of the Baltimores and Keelet’s home-run hit.

A special dispatch from Woston says President Soden’s sudden jump to Cincin- hati is explained by the fact that he knew the players of his club were dissatisfied with their treatment and salaries, and he knew he would have to sign them at once if at all. The Boston players were also aware that the triumvirate had openly stated they would be satisfied to see the pen- nant go elsewhere, and hence had refused to strengthgp the club, thinking that if Boston won” again the players would be sure to want more money, and that was a gcod way to stand them off.

The Engineer Who Raced he Forest Fires Describes His Experience St. Paul Correspondence Chicago Herald. Above and beyond every deed of bravery, sacrifice anu charity in connection with the eastern Minnesota holocaust stands the act of Engineer James Root, the hero who drove his train six miles through a secthing cyclone of flame, piloting 300 passengers to safety who otherwis> would have been burned to death. No praise is too high for the man whe performed a deed of such dar- ing heroism i an hour of such frightful peril. The people of St. Paul are already moving to pzesent a lasting testimonial of their gratitude to Mr. Root. The hero of Hinckley was found at his pleasant L.ttle home at White Bear recently. He .was still in great pain from his horrible burns and cuts, one of the latter having most severed the jugular vein, but was much better than yesterday and has a good chance for recovery. When shown a dis- patch saying that London papers were pay- ing him high compliments for his courage, a tear glistened in his eye for a moment, and he sai@: “I merely did my duty.” Then in a voice scarcely more than a whisper he said: “When we left Saturday afternoon the air was heavy with smoke. At Carleton the smoke was so thick that it became nec- essary to light the headlight, which was done by the fireman, Jack McGowan. I spoke to Jack about it and said I guessed we were going to have rain. We never thought the fire was so near to us. On and on through the night of smoke the engine rushed on its way to Hinckley. We were due there at 4 o’clock and arrived there three minutes late. As I pulled into the station I saw an excited mob of people who took my train by storm. That was the first intimation I had that we were so stricken. I could not have sturted the engine without running persons dow* on the track in front of me. “I received no orders, and es my train was completely filled with passengers who had boarded it,while we were standing there I was abdut to pull the throttle to cross the Hinckley bridge, when a wall of flame fully ten feet high burst through the rolling smoke right in front of my engine, cutting off all hope of making the bridge. I noticed that the wind was from the south end knew then that the fire must have al- eady crossed the bridge and destroyed it, so I reversed the engine and we began to race with the flames. 1 remembered a shallow marsh known as Skunk lake, about six miles back and north of Hinckley, and I made up my mind to reach the lake, come what might. There was no other salvation The wind Was blowing the fire in the same direction we were going and the flames raced along in the tall grass on both sides of us, almost keeping pace with the speed of the train. I put on my heavy coat and Fulled it over my head, and Jack McGowan, my fireman, got back in the manhole of the tank. He would stand up and throw water on me as long as he could stand the heat and then he would retreat to the man- hole again, and in that way we got to Skunk lake, not more than two minutes ve- fore the flames. We piled out of the cab, Jack and I, after cutting off the air and kicking the cars down about two car- lengths and made for the lake, getting there just as the fire struck us. “It was awful,” Engineer Root continued, after restit.g a moment, “and I hope I may never live to go through such an experience again. The fire swept right over us and we had to lie flat in the water for a time. Af- ter the first sheet of flame over it Was act so bad, but still the heat was ter- rific. The woods were burning all a>ound us, and, to add to the horror, the train caught fire and the cars burned fiercely, radiating an awful heat, which affected us almost as much as the forest fire, we were 80 near the track. “For four hours we remained in the wa- ter, and then the ground began to cool suf- ficiently at the edge of the lake so that we were enabled to stand on the bank by wrapping our heads in coats. Later I went to aoa ——— ond sank down on the Lot seat of the cab, the engine having passed through the fiery ordeal almost po arr I did not fall asleep, but into a kind of stupor, from which I was not fully aroused until the rescuing party came for us with handcars. So far I know there were only two lives lost on our train. They were @ couple of Chinamen who could not be got off the train, and they were burned to death on the cars.
