More Contrilintiona Needed to Ke eoimtrnet the Stricken City. Galveston, Tex., Sept. 26.—The fol lowing signed appeal was issued last night, addressed to the American peo ple: "Seventeen days after the storm at Galveston it is still impossible to ac curately estimate the loss of life and property. It is known that the dead In the city will unmber at least 6,000, or approximately one-sixth of the cen sus population. The island and ad jacent mainland will add perhaps 2,000 to this number. Actual property dam age is incalculable in precise terms, but it will easily amount to $30,000,000. This estimate takes no account of the direct and indirect injury to business. Along the beach front upwards of 2,G00 houses were totally destroyed. The wreckage constitutes the embankment of debris extending along the entire beach from three or four blocks in ward for about three miles, the re moval of which will cost $750,000 to $1 ,000,000. From this debris there are still daily uncovered by the workmen now systematically employed from 30 to 50 bodies, which are burned or buried on the spot. Moreover, we es-, timate that 971£ per cent of the remain ing houses throughout the city were damaged in greater or less degree. "The munificent contributions sent to the governor and directly to the re lief committee are perhaps sufficient to defray the expenses of removing the wreckage and disposing of the dead bodies and meeting the most urgent sanitary requirements, hut the home less will still be without shelter when this is done. "We believe that the well to do and the charitable people of this nation will not be contented to merely ap pease hunger and bind up bruises, but will in every large measure and with more far reaching effect contribute to the restoration of this people to a plane of • !f support and self respect. It i.for t: : pr; p<i e that we make this further i'p; ts. The generous people of the nuii 1 \v II best serve the sit uation :: I<l -In r own aims by making lheir cont:. it : ons in cash."

ESS She Hid tlie Truth to Present ('oflsin'B Arfe«t. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Sept. 26. A week ago Marguerite Upton, 8 years of age, was taken to the Fishkill Landing hospital with a frightful bullet wound In her left arm. So bad was the injury that the arm had to be amputated. The girl, whose home is in Timothyville, a small brickyard settlement, told every body that she had shot herself with a revolver that she found and that went oft' while she was examing it. She bore herself with remarkable fortitude, and, although weak from the loss of blood, the doctors brought her out of danger. Yesterday Marguerite admitted to her nurse that she had not told the truth about the shooting, but said that she was shot by her cousin, Frank Kil patriek, 17 years of age. Frank, she said, entered the room where she and her 9-year-old brother Edward were at play. He was holding a big revolver, and announced himself to be a road agent of the Rocky mountains. "Throw up your hands!" he commanded. Mar guerite and Eddie thought it was only fun, but the sight of the ugly revolver pointing at them frightened the chil dren, and they begged him to stop. Edward crawled under the bed, but the girl raised her hands above her head, as ordered to do. Suddenly the pistol went off, and the bullet, of 48 caliber, passed through her arm. In Maryland a man has patented a shirt having a detachable bosom, which can be easily removed and a fresh one putin its place when soiled, the shirt having a series of buttons, to which tongues on the edges of the bosom are attached.

Birth-marks which mark and mar the outside of the body are a grief to every mother whose children may bear thtjm. But for every child who bears a birth mark 011 the skin there are many who bear an indelible birth-mark on tie mind. Nervous mothers have nervous children and many a man and woman owes an irritable and despondent tem perament to those days of dread when the mother waited the hour of her mat ernity. The use of Dr. Pierce's Favor ite Prescription strengthens the mother for her trial. With strength comes a buoyancy of spirits and quietness of mind, which is one of the happiest gifts a mother can bestow on her offspring. By giving vigor and elasticity to the delicate womanly organs "Favorite Prescription'" practically does away with the pain of maternity and makes the baby's advent as natural and as simple as the blossoming of a flower. There is no opium, cocaine or other nar cotic contained in "Favorite Prescript ion." Tin* Trust rcvii in Cermi.;.,. Berlin.
