Franchise Recently.
New YoRx, April II.
A special from Boston says the killing
of Bacon is still the subject Of comment.
Several dentists, interviewed to-day, say
that sven when Bacon knew dentists to be
without q dollar, he began suits against
them, and often drove them out OF bust
ness. In other cases he began suits where
there was no reason for 1t. and besides
making defendants pay up, put them to
unnecessary legal costs. Dentists using
celluloid, . compound also used for plates,
were, it is claimed, mercilessly bounded,
and put TO oil kinds Of trouble by Bacon,
who came to be known as old 81 Bacon.
1t is alleged that every person known to
get a new set of false teeth was sought after
by him, with a view TO getting the name OF
The dentist, and if rubber was used. and
the dentist furnishing the teeth had failed
to pay his royalty, or had no license, then
his hour of woe was at hand. In several
instances, it is said, old 81 induced women
wearing false teeth to have o new set made
by dentists whom he suspected to be play
ing sharp on him. In such cases he fur
nished the women with money to pay for
the teeth, and when they we're made and
delivered, the dentists were sued. Threats
to kill him were made by some Of the
| dentists in this city. They say Bacon was
q good-hearted man, and if he erred at all,
it was in an honest purpose to do his duty
to his employers.
Ravages OF the Plague At Morocco,
CHICAGO, April II.
A 'Tribune's' Washington special says:
| Nothing more horrible has ever been re-
corded than the ravages Of the plague now
| raging in Morocco. A letter to q gentle-
man Of this city, from the United States
Consul at Tangier, dated March 10Th, gives
the following account Of the suffering
from famine and starvation. All who can
are now running away from this most I'M
fortunate country, where famine, cholera
and typhus are more than decimating its
population. At Tangier alone we are hav-
ing from thirty to forty cases Of typhus per
day, and at the city Of Morocco, the daily
mortality by typhus is from 200 to $50.
The ordeal Of death is complete. Parents
eat children, and at Mayador, Stuff and
Cosseblarea, the starving Arabs eat their
dead. The atmosphere is i~mpregnated with
the deadly poison from the thousands that
are half buried, and many are left to
rot, exposed to the sun and rain. The
European residents take every precaution,
but, nevertheless, nearly half nave already
succumbed to the dreadful disease. The
fstalist Moslems ridicule all such expedi-
ents to avoid contagion, believing that oil
is written by God, and they must die if so
desired. NY time has been very much
occupied. being President of the Morocco
Board of Health. My daughter has been
busiod in the work Of nursing and organ
izing help for the afflicted.
