In a senseless panic, caused by a de-

pf fire at the Old Front Street theatre
on Thursday night, twenty-four people
were killed, two fatally injured, and
ten more seriously injured, Up
to one o'clock on Friday morning but
four of the dead had been identified.
The tumult attracted an immense
ororvd from the outside, many of whom
tried to gain entrance to the theatre,
thus adding to the confusion. A
dozen policemen also attracted by the
shrieks of the frightened crowd, hur-
ried to the scene, and using clubs on.
those outsidepushed through the door
to the writhing mass on the landing.
Among the first to reach them' 'was
Officer E. J. belly; whose beat is but
a block away, Forcing his way in
through' the main doorway, he grasped
a pair of arms, and pulling with all his
might, dragged a woman from under
the surging crowd. A glance at her
face showed that she was past ail'hu-
man aid, dead from suffocation. Again
he reached in the maga of humanity and
pulled out a bay about seven years old.
He, too, was dead, also from suffocation,
with scarcely a bruise on his body.
The other officers, by this time rein-

them to those on the sidewalk.
Ambulances carried ,the dead to the
morgue and the wounded to the City
Hospital, wherever practicable, but in
many cases the most slightly injured,
and in a few cases those who were
badly hurt were token to their
homes by friends. When the mass on
the landing had bean cleared away,
the frightened mob inside were quiet-
ed down sufficiently to enable the po-
lice to clear the theatre. Then it was
found there had been no danger, and
that not a soul would nave been in-
jured had the audience but remained
seated. Nine bodies were taken to the
morgue, all of them dead from suffo-
cation. Of those taken to the City
hospital 15 are dead. Two more will
probably die, and ten are 'desperately
hurt. The confusion at both places was
indescribable, and up to midnight but
four of the dead have been identified.
The dead are of all ages, from mere
infants to gray-haired men and wo-
men.. All were killed or is; ured in the
terrific orush,on`the fatal. landing.

glia temper of the Japanese to take
the pontrol of their religious affairs Is
very strong. ahoy feel that they have
come to the front rank among the na-
tions, that their international stand.•
ing is as high as that of any people,
and that they aro entitled to look out
for their churobes without being sub-
ordinete to the missionaries of the
board, When tbey learned of the plan
to. send out the investigating commit-
tee of the board they proclaimed (Pen-
ly that if the committee came in a fra-
ternal spirit to inquire into the sitti5-
tion and to help them by advice, then
they would be received as Christian
brothers and treated in a friendly way
during their inquiry, but if they came
out as having authority to demand an
accounting ofthe Japanese e e
then
their
interference would be resisted, The
committee went with the instructions
in general not to aot upon questions, but
to refer them at once to the board, but
in the easel of minor matters final decis-
ion was permitted to the committee up-
on two conditions—first, that the ques-
tion was of such a nature that the com-
mittee agreed unanimously that it
should be attended to at once without
referring it to the "board; and, secondly,
that they were agreed unanimously as
to what ought to be done.
1 Dr. Delli'orest is a keen observer of the
people among whom he has lived many
years, and says that the recent develop-
ment of the Japanese is wonderful. It
is stamped upon their very language.
New words are being introduced with
great rapidity, and the change has been
so great since the opening of the county
to foreigners that Dr. DeForest says that
if a Japanese of that time could hear
the debates to -day in the Jadoss Par-
liament he would not be able to under-
stand the language, so many new words.
and phrases have been introduced. The
peopleare full of`hew ideas. They are
absorbing many things from the out-
side world which have been wholly un-
known to the Japanese hitherto, and
there are no words in their language
for them. Their vocabulary is being
greatly enriched bywords to express
new distinction which the Japanese
have never made before now
in
their
thinking. Before the coming of the
missionaries they had one common word
for the ideas which we expressed by
sin" and "crime." The story is toldof
an 'impulsive English mission woman
in conversation ,with a Japanese wo-
man of high social position, who assured
the latter that sue was a "sinner." To
the Japanese mind this was identical
with being' told that she was a "crimin-
al." Good-humored surprise and a
well-bred denial were the answer. And
that very failure in the Japanese voca-
bulary has bean the cause of the+ same
mistake by other missionaries, who have
thus been made. to seem anything but
complimentary to the people they were.
trying to reach.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.
The industrial development of Japan,
says Dx. DeForest, has been remarkable.
When he went to Osaka there were only
two tall chinmeys to be seen in the en-
tire city, and those had been recently
erected by foreign enterprise. But
now the old central portion is entirely
surrounded by a circle of tall chimneys
where many kinds of manufacturing
are being carried on. The Japanese all,
over the country are taking up these
enterprises rapidly, and are now sup-
plying Europpean and American markets.
it is very likely that our tooth brushes.
come from Osaka. Some of them have
European marks Upon them to conceal
the real place of their manufacture,
while others have "Osaka" in Japanese
characters, which, of course, will not be
recognized by buyers.
, At . the same time with this suddar
jump forward into international prom-
inence and with the establishment of
many manufacturing enterprises, has
occurred a great increase in population.
Since the opening of the empire to out
side nations the population has gkined
from thirty million to over forty mil-
lion, or much more than any other equal
•period.
Dr. DeForest says that this is due
mainly to the vast improvement in car
ing for human life, especially in the
treatment of little children. Formerly
they were carried off by thousands year-
ly by smallpox, which was constantly
prevalent among the people. The intro-
duction of vaccination and, of better
medical science has saved millions of
Jives which wouiu otherwise have been
lost. The (practice of infanticide has
been materially checked, but the chief
cause of the gain is in better medical
treatment. The Japanese are very sub-
ject to consumption, and the tendency
to the disease is increased by their habit
of sitting upon the floor with the shoul-
ders crouched over, so that the lungs
are much contracted.
1 In contrast with Japan, China lies as
an immense unorganized mass, and
would doubtless be carved up among
the great European powers . if it were
not for their mutualealousy. Yet
there are qualities of the Chinese na-.
tine which are strong and valuable. The
people are possessed of much more posi-
tiveness of character than the people of
India who have been brought under the
rule of England. Dr. DeForest believes
that it is a critical epoch for China, and
that it possible for her to take such
a start in civilization as will make her
one of the great national factors of the
world.

It i$ absurd to try to cure rheuma-

'Chis disease, as all know, is caused by

which will neutralize it, and thus de-

It has often been contended by
physiologists and men of science gen-
erally, that nervous energy or nerv-
ous impulses which pass along the
nerve fibres, were only other names
for electricity. This seemingly plaus-
ible statement was accepted for a
time, but has been .completely aban-
doned since it been proved that
the nerves are not good conductors of
oleotricity, and that the velooity of a
nervous impulse is but 100 feet per
second—which is very much Blower
than that of electricity, It is now
generally agreed that nervous energy,
or what we are pleased to call nerve
fluid, is a wondrous, a mysterious
force, in which dwells life itteif.
A very eminent specialist, *be
has studied profoundly. the workings
of the nervous system for the last
twenty-five years, has lately demon-
strated that two-thirds of all our
ailments and chronic diseases axe
due to deranged nerve centres within
or at the base of the brain.
411 know that an injury to the
spinal cord will cause paralysis to the
body below the injured point. The
reason for this is, that the nerve
force is prevented by the injury from
teaching the paralyzed portion,
Again, when food is taken into the
atomaoh, ft comes in vented irf gl
numberless nerve fibres in the w
of this organ, which at once send e
nervous impulse to the nerve centres,
which control the stomach, notifying
them of the presence o'f food; where.
upon the nerve centres send down a
supply of nerve force or nerve fluid,
to at once begin the operation of
digestion. But •let the nerve centres
which control the stomach be de-
ranged and they will not be able to
respond with a sufficient supply of
nerve force, to properly digest the
food, and, as a result, indigestion and,
dyspepsia make their appearance,
So it is with the other organs of the
body, if the nerve centres which con-
trol them and supply them with
nerve fora,, become deranged, they
are also deranged.
The wonderful atoms of the
remedy known as the Great South
American Nervine Tonic is due be
the fact that it is prepared by one o
the most eminent physicians anti
specialists of the age, and is based
on the foregoing acientic!o discovery-
