I was almost a solid mass of sores from head to foot, and looked more like a piece of raw beef than a human being. Blood and pus oozed from a great sore on my scalp, from under my finger nails, and nearly all over my body, and every hair in my head fell out. I could not sit do down, for my clothes would stick to the raw and bleeding flesh, making me cry out with pain. My doctor did all he could, but I got worse and worse.

I did not think I could live, and wanted death to end my frightful sufferings. "My Cuticura.

15 and 19 S. SIXTH STREET. FROM OVER THE BORDERS OF BERKS SCHULYKILL COUNTY. District Attorney Berger has been notified that Antonio Camponowitzi, who stabbed to death Joseph Romainia in a saloon at Shenandoah on the night of November 5, 1904, has been arrested in Italy, whence he fled after the crime. Testimony in the case will be taken and it will be forwarded to Italy, where the murderer will be punished in his native province.

Benjamin Zehner, a driver for the Columbia Brewing Company in Ashland, was struck by a passenger train crossing the Reading tracks on Third street, and perhaps fatally injured. The wagon was demolished, but the horses escaped without a scratch. Zehner was taken to the Miners' hospital.

The reunion to be held in Pottsville on Labor Day by the Survivors of the Forty-eighth Regiment Veteran Volunteers of Pennsylvania, which command saw active service in the war of the Rebellion, promises to excel all previous gatherings held by the members of this association and their friends. Julia Brennan, aged 23 years, who was stricken with appendicitis and fell upon the dance floor at the pavilion at Tumbling Run, died at the Pittsville hospital.

Siegrist has since November last, when he actively entered upon his duties as an officer of the law, made 100 arrests, as shown by a record he keeps, and stamps him as a veritable sleuth in criminal work. The last arrest was that of Walter Spangler, charged with betrayal, on oath of Annie M.

Foreman, and the accused was held by Alderman Gerberich in $500 bail to answer at September sessions. George Pottkamper, who conducts a business of cleaning, pressing and repairing clothing, had a thrilling experience with his oil stove which he uses to heat his irons. In some manner a leak caused an explosion and in order to prevent the building from catching fire, he grasped the stove and threw it out of the door and in doing so painfully burned his hands. John Junk, well known relic hunter, and a veteran of the Civil War, has in his possession a brass button, upon which appears the official coat of arms of the state of Virginia and the words Virginia, sic semper tyrranus."

Heald, of Grand Rapids, had the sole of his right foot cut in a peculiar way while he was asleep on a train without knowing it until he awoke.

He was on his way from his home to the East. When he woke up in Harrisburg in the morning he found that the berth clothes were all bloody and that he had a severe cut on the sole of his foot, and that the pane of glass in the window was broken. He informed the porter of the car and his injury was dressed by the company's local physician, who was called to Union station. In telling the story he said that he is subject to dreaming, and he remembers having had a dream during night. He believes that in a visionary scuffle he had kicked through the window next to his berth.

DELAWARE COUNTY. It required four policemen to arrest Lewis Krause, a German.

In granting privileges to side shows and similar attractions which will be on the grounds of the York County Agricultural Society as a part of its 48th annual exposition, which will open on Tuesday, Oct. 3, the rule rigidly applied last year, prohibiting attractions of an immoral -or objectionable character, is being enforced.

She had been' lingering near death for some weeks. On July 4 she fell and injured her knee. Blood poisoning set in and she suffered from many convulsions.

Henry Smallbrook, 65 years of age, a veteran of the Civil War, was walking along a steep embankment of the Codorus creek at York when he lost his balance, fell into the creek and was drowned. His body was in the stream nearly one hour before it was THE REAL PAUL JONES NEITHER MERELY THE FURIOUS SEA BULLY, NOR YET THE FORTUNATE AND ADVENTURESOME FREE LANCE. There is in the Library of Congress at Washington a large collection of manuscripts relating to Paul Jones. He himself was a voluminous correspondent, diarist and writer, possessing a lucid and direct style. Besides his own, there are letters to and about him, and various memoranda concerning him.

They have never been printed in full, but extracts from them corroborate the judgment that Paul Jones was neither merely the furious sea bully that certain British writers have pictured him, nor yet the fortunate and recklessly venturesome ocean free lance that certain American historians have portrayed. He possessed not only a commanding mind and an undaunted resolution, but a cool temper and a magnanimous spirit. He was tried by every extreme of fortune, and his life was as checkered and as illustrious, and his as pathetic as that of the brilliant but unhappy Clive. But Paul Jones is easily the most picturesque figure in American annals. "Had he lived to my time," said Bonaparte, 10 years later, "France might have had one great admiral." What he would have done with the resources of France arrayed against a Nelson can only be conjectured.

But his spirit and ability would have won distinction in any field. He was the intimate of philosophers, statesmen and scholars. After his great victories he was made a chevalier of France, which country was then at war with England, and was for a time a lion in fashionable circles--a veritable "uncrowned knight of the sea," as he was dubbed by duchess of the blood royal. He never married. He was but 32 when he won his last great victory for his adopted land, and so lukewarm were his friends, SO malevolent his enemies, that during the seyen years of the Revolutionary War this most restless, vigilant and efficient of our sea heroes was actually able to be at sea in full command of ships of war less months all Tew Sprague in the September Outing Magazine.

THE FRIGID ENGLISH HOTELS. The Ghost Walked in the Night, But Was Frozen Stiff. With the aid of the two candles which I lighted I discovered the grate in the wall near the head of the bed, and on examining it closely I perceived that there was a fire in it. The grate would have held quite a double-handful of coal if carefully put on; the fire which seemed to be flickering so feebly had, yet had the energy to draw all the warmth of the chamber up the chimney, and I stood shivering in the temperature of a subterranean dungeon. The place instantly gave evidence of being haunted, and the testimony of my nerves on this point was corroborated the by the spectral when play blew of the firelight on ceiling, I out my ales.

In the middle of the night I woke to the sense of something creeping with a rustling noise over the floor. I rejected the hypothesis of my bedcurtain falling in to place, though I remembered putting it back that I might have light to read myself -drowsy. I knew at once that it was a ghost walking the night there, walking hard. Suddenly it ceased, and I knew why; it had been frozen D. Howells, in Harper's for September.

HORSE RUNS AMUCK. A two seated carriage belonging to Rev. Dr. Mosser, Myerstown, was badly wrecked Saturday evening as the result of a runaway. The horse, standing at the hitching post in front of Dr.

Mosser's residence, a quarter mile north of Myerstown, took fright at some object and ran down the pike at breakneck speed. In making the turn at the Goodwill engine house the left front wheel caught the fire plug before the engine house. The carriage was badly damaged and the horse, after gaining his freedom from the harness, slipped on the pavement before the home of Mrs. Percival Woomer, where he fell against the fence.

Philadelphia, Aug. and buoyancy alternately dominated the share market today. At the outset sudden from strength to weakness took place.

It was forced by a combination adverse circumstances entirely foreign to the delay in peace negotiations. To begin with, London sold heavily at the outset, and simultaneously came a sharp break in Amalgamated Copper and heavy selling of Reading common. These influences turned the whole market downward, and losses of a point and over were frequent. The chief sufferer was Reading common, with a fall of 3 points, but even standshares like St. Paul and New York Central tumbled per cent.

The only thing that escaped was Pacific Coast. This stock actually rose $3 per share. At noon a recovery of a point in Reading blocked the falling movement and caused the market to harden. The real news of the day did not develop until 1 o'clock, when the Associated Press announced that Japan had waived her claim to indemnity, and would allow arbitration to adjust the disputed price for the Saghalen Island. On this announcement the market rallied to per the rebound carrying some stocks to the highest of the day, but the majority failed to get back to Saturday's figures.

There are SO many strings to the alternative offered by Japan that the situation is really unchanged. Most of the day the market indicated that a good deal of stock was for sale. Houses with Middle West connections offered grangers freely, and Reading more plentiful than at any time within two weeks, the threatened labor trouble at the mines in April forcing out stock, but liquidation holdings by recent buyers was a factor. From London came selling orders aggregating 35,000 shares. and all Yankee rails ended heavy at Capel Court.

A favorable event of the day was the resumption of dividends on Republic Iron and Steel preferred for the first time two years. Philadelphia market did not take kindly to the early setback in Wall Street, nearly all the local favorites shading off, but a bold effort was made to efface the initial losses though with limited success. It could not be termed a weak market, but it lacked the rugged complexion of last week. It was Lehigh Valley that most interest centred. Like Reading, that stick was heavy from the start, but on the decline it met good buying.

The way Reading was offered at the opening took a good deal of snap out of the market. The utterances of President Baer set at rest the Street canards about a merging anthracite interests. Then the declaration of President Mitchell anent the coming adjustment of the, wage scale in April was used as a pretext for selling. Considering the extent of the rise, the recession was astonishingly small. Erie was also sold in this market, but it, too, showed decided recuperative power.

Turning, to the strictly local stocks, practically half the list ended lower. Electric Storage and International Power, On the other hand Philadelphia. Company and Keystone Telephone was beter, the latter attaining a new record price on small purchases. The municipal franchise shares were forgotten, not sale Philadelphia Transit being made, and a beggarly five-share transaction was made in Philadelphia Electric. Apropos, it was announced that the Mayor and his advisers would take up the question of electric light bids next Thursday.

Reported competition in Atlantic City was have been responsible for the of Electric Company of America. DIVIDEND DECLARED. Republic Iron and Steel Company, per cent. on its preferred stock. LIVE STOCK PRICES.

HOME AGAIN FATHER M'CARTY RETURNS HALE AND HEARTY FROM A TWO MONTHS' TOUR IN EUROPE.

Rev. Thomas J. McCarty, pastor of the St. Peter Roman Catholic church, arrived New York on Sunday after a two months' European tour. He will arrive Reading tomorrow or Thursday.

Members of St. Peter church were anxious to have a reception upon his arrival in Reading, but as Father McCarty is known to be opposed to anything of the sort, it is not likely that any will be held. During the absence of the pastor the affairs of the congregation were very ably conducted by his assistant, Rev. John F. Harkins, assisted by Rev.

Father Thomas, of St. Mary College, Belmont, N. C. A SUNDAY OUTING. Charles Saylor.

Charles Saylor. In their first Sunday outing, the 11th Avenue Hotel Club spent Sunday at Wanner's Farm, at the head of Walnut street. The party of about 115 assembled early in day and had a rousing good time. Music was furnished, all day by the Crescent Visitors from Allentown and York were entertained.

The first human anatomists were in Alexandria three centuries before Christ, and they and their successors for 2,000 years were commonly reported to have inZulged in antemortem dissection. Says Dr. Keen: "Vesalius was shipwrecked and died while fleeing for his life on such charge. The Edinburgh act of 1505, giving the surgeons the body of one criminal annually 'to make an anatomie was guarded by the proviso 'after be be Even poetry has lent its aid to, perpetuate the legend of the 'invisible whose ghost was belleved to haunt Sir Charles Bell's anatomical rooms, where she had been dissected alive on the night preceding that appointed for her marriage." For a long time Alexandria was the only medical center of the world, and the physician Galen (born about 130 A. had to journey from Romel to the African city even to see a skeleton.

He sent his students to the German battlefelds to dissect the bodies of the national enemies, while he himself used apes as most resembling human beings. Human dissection was revived in Bologna in the fourteenth century, where Madonna Manzolina later was professor of anatomy, undoubtedly one of the first women doctors, if not the very Arst. Leonardo da Vinci, painter Last Supper," was a great anatomist, but dissection had fallen into disuse when Vesalius finally revived it about the middle of the sixteenth century. Even in comparatively modern times anatomists have been the objects of attacks by the populace. In 1765 Dr.

John Shippen of Philadelphia was mobbed as a grave robber. Doctors' riots in New York occurred twentythree years later and were due to the belief that the medical students robbed graves continually. It was the lack of opportunity that led to the practice of grave robbing and originated what Dr. Keen calls "a set of the lowest possible villains the resurrectionists." WORK. The work which presents no difficulties to be overcome soon grows uninteresting.

There are some workers 80 anxious to catch time by the forelock that they almost tear the forelock off. If it is true that good work Implies that the workman knows himself it is equally true that the best work shows that he has forgotten himself. There is only one right way to work, and it is neither in doing things before they are started nor in doing them all over again after they are finished. The world is altogether too restricted In its use of the word "art." Work of any kind done superlatively well is art -dusting pictures as well as painting them. A good worker is pretty much like a horse, after all.

When it's uphill going don't worry him; when it's downhill going don't hurry him, and be sure to take good care of him once he's in the An Oxford Bank Note. The Clarendon Press once made a bid for printing the notes of the Bank of England. It was many years ago, when the forger was abroad in the land, and it was desired to make his task more difficult. A sample Oxford note was adorned with a number of unintelligible quotations from out of the way languages Coptic and others. thought no forger could produce them, and an elaborate argument was given in with the sample note to that effect.

Nowadays any note may be copied by photography, and the unique quality of its paper is the security of the Bank of England against fraud. -London Sketch. A Business Talk. "Miss de Simpson," said the young secretary of legation, "I have opened negotiations with your father upon the subject of- er-coming to see you oftener with a view ultimately to forming an alliance, and he has responded favorably. May I ask if you will ratify the arrangement as a mo dus vivendi?" "Mr.

Malay Houses. Malay houses are invariably built on posts, so as to raise the floor from four to six feet above the ground. The floor is composed of bamboo, with interstices between slats, the earth beneath becoming the receptacle of the drainage of the establishment. The universal plan of the well to do natives is to build the house in two divisions, the front one for receiving visitors and lounging generally, while the rear portion is reserved for the women and children.

Elephant Sagacity. A remarkable instance of the sagacity of a female elephant which had lost her young one in a pit trap has recently been related. The mother made strenuous attempts to rescue her offspring by throwing quantities of earth and branches of trees into the pit, but all her efforts were in vain, as the hunters arrived before the pit was sufficiently filied to allow the young one to clamber out.
