WAS RUDELY AWAKENED.
Though the long curve from Jackson
slieet into Robinson street is well
Known to be a rather dangerous curve
at anv time, so far as the street cars
are concerned nnd that great care is
used by the street car men at all times
to prevent any accident, still drivers
of vehicles grow careless.
An Instance of this soit was biought
nut vesterduv and nearly resulted in
n fatality, or at least b.id injuries. As
it was, only a broken spring, damaged
fender, badly frightened man and a
surprised hoise were the sum total of
lesults. Tho accident happened about
11.20 o'clock jesterday morning.
Just ns car 202 of the Luzerne street
line inward bound was leaving Jack
son street, turning In on the curve,
about 200 feet further on, Motorman
Fox saw a liotse, attached to a light
edfern
The demands on the expert fitter who is here demonstrating
the indisputable merits of Redfern Corsets have been so great,
and so many engagements remain unfilled that we have been
compelled to arrange a continuance of her services for another
w eck.
Ladies
If you appreciate comfort combined with indescribable ele
gance, you will make it a point to see the

made from finest French batistes and weighing only a few
ounces, but at the same tunc possessing in the highest degree
every point that has made Redfern Corsets fatuous. These
perfectly modelled garments are known throughout the civil
ized world and although an American Corset are even better
known in -
London and Paris
than they arc in this country, the reason being that European
women pay closer attention to such matters than their Ameri
can sisters do.
A full range of Redfern Corsets is now on exhibition at the
store, and comfortable fitting rooms have been arrange1 for
hose who wish to take advantage of them.
The lady demonstrator will be with us for one week only
spring wagon, coming llesurely along
tho tracks toward him. He rang his
bell loudly and expected to see. tho
driver turn out. Not he, for he was
fast asleep. Ilv this time the car was
dangerously close nnd Fox tried to stop
his car. It slid and crashed Into tho
wagon. The fender was bent up, body
spring on wagon was broken nnd tho
now thoroughly awakened driver was
lying on his back In tho wagun, where
ho hnd been thrown from the seat by
the Jar, The horse escaped Injuiy by
turning out far enough to be missed.
Fortunately, tho car was going very
slow or some other result would here
b hae been chronicled.

overcome depressed spirits nnd nerv
ousness in vv omen. Thcso troubles nro

ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you
for advice. After using tho treatment
which you ndvised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
"I am now gaining strength nnd

there is one bo kind and willing to

THE rORWIDAP-LE VESUVIUS.
Coald Blow Up Anything Within
rtadim of Qnnrlar Mile.
From tho Chtcago Record
The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, which
has Just left Nwpoit to Join the squad
ron oft Havana, Is an experiment In
warfare which will be watched with
great interest by naval authorities all
over the world, and will undoubtedly
be given an opportunity to demonstrate
her merits before the war Is over She
Is supposed to be more effective In
battle tharr any of our battleships,
cruisers or torpedo boats, the most de
structive agency In the entire world,
and she Is the only ciaft of her kind in
existence, but her efficiency has been
so stubbornly questioned that the gov
ernment has not duplicated her. If she
should prove etiunl to the piomises her
defenders have made every nation in
the world will add similar vessels to
their fleet Sho Is small, swift and
easily handled, and carries three pneu
matic guns, each of which dlschaiges
M0 pounds of nitroglycerine every live
minutes Nltroglyt erlne has five times
the explosive power of gun cotton and
twenty-five times the explosive power
of ordinal y powder. No ship could
stand a moment ugalnst an explosion
of this kind, even though It occurred In
the water 100 yards from hei hull.
Captain Xallnskl, who Invented the
guns, has descilbed tho effect of their
dWehnige ns "Hell let loose." and even
that does not leem to do full Justice to
the destruction that would be caused
by scattering three-quarters of a ton
of dvnamlte every five minutes In n
city or a fortress or among a fleet of
vessels.
The projectiles are so arranged that
when the strike anything they will
explode and scatter the dynamite they
contain In a shower over a large sur
face. They can also be made to ex
plode automatically by clockwork. Im
agine seven or el-jht such shells
dropped Into a city like New Toik or
even Havana, or In the midst of a lleet
of warshlrs. So long as her guns are
in condition for use no vessel would'
dare nttrck the Vesuvius without In
viting total destruction. If this little
craft weie pursued it Is only neces
sary for it to stand still and await the
proper moment, when the discharge of
one or alt of Its guns would annihilate
Its pursuer. A cruiser or a battleship
might as well sail straight over Niag
ara. Hut the critics of this little craft
Insist that s'.e will be absolutely un
serviceable In rough water nnd her
mnchlnery is so d -Mcate anil compli
cated it will be apt to get out of order
when It Is needed the most.

It has been suggested that the Vesu
vius can be made useful In destrojlng
the mines that have been placed in the
harbois of Havana and other cities
because her projectiles can be fired
under water as well as In tho air It
she should drop one of her shells Into
Havana harbor, for example, to be ex
ploded as soon as It touched the bot
tom, the detonation would be so creat
as to dlscharse all tho mines or tor
pedoes that might be anchored within
a certain distance around It It Is also
suggested that she can easily be pro
tected from heaw seas by sailing on
the lee side of a monitor or battleship.
Her guns aro elevated at nn angle ot
18 degiees, so that they could fire over
any ship that might be beside her for
protection.
