L am aware; but [ insist that neither
dlphtheria, measles, or scarlet fever
can be acquired unless the conditions I
have named exist. believe that cholera
might be traced in its infection to i'm
proper diet. In the Sixth ward, where
L live, diphtheria is very prevalent, and
three cases have terminated fatally

just before coming here, [ read the
statistics of a physician, whose ability
for observation cannot be questioned.

were taken from epidenlics of various

city some of the children died within
twenty-four hours of the development
Of the disease. There is one thing
which it is due to ourselves and friends
that we make understood: many physi-
clans call diphtheria what is simply
some other throat disease; and, having
cured the throat disease, they claim
to having cured diphtheria, AM the re-
suit is that Mrs. Brown says to DR..

Martin J. Crawford. Of the Supreme
Court Of Georgia. Will be heard with pro-
found regret throughout the common
wealth His last illness was regarded as
serious. but those about him hoped for
the best. When first attacked he was
removed 10 Chipley, with the hope that
the mountain air would restore his fail
ing strength. No relief was obtained,
however. and on Saturday he was brought
back to Columbus, where he died on sun
day.
Judge Crawford was notable figure in
the history of Georgia. Twenty-Five
years ago he was a member Of the Federal
Congress. from which ne retired upon the
secession of Georgia. Chief Justice
Jackson and Associate Justice Speer, his
colleagues on the Supreme Bench, were
candidates for Congress with him. but
Mr.. Speer failed to receive a majority.
Judge Crawford, upon the secession of
Georgia, was appointed a delegate to the
Convention at Montgomery, which formed
the provisional government for the Con-
tolerate States. In February, 1861, in
COMPANY Will bOul Ebl ~ lu- VI EAltJdulet-

Crawford was appointed one of three

Seward. LincOln's Secretary Of State, the
mission came to naught. Judge Craw-
ford later entered the Confederate ser
vice as Colonel of the Third Georgia Cav

TO which position he was elected by the

material convention Judge Crawford was
prominently mentioned as the probable
nominee, but he declined TO make a per-
sOnal contest for the honor.

tinguished Georgians who have been

A STARTLING THEORY.
4 Suggestion that COntagiOn May be
Spread by the Electric Telegraph.


Pitts5urgh Commercial Gazette.
Americans have been congratulating
themselves that even under the most ia
YOrabfe circumstances the cholera, now
raging in Egypt, could not reach this side
OF the Atlantic before the cold days of the
winter would be ready to freeze it out.
There is possibility that this is another
case of eXultatiOn before being free from
the shadows of the timber. There is a
theory held by some scientists that dis
ease may be transmitted by electricity,
and that over the wires cholera can pass
from Egypt to Europe, and from Europe
to America. Prof. Hardin, of BahOl Col
lege, oxford, who is here on a visit, was
asked about this theory, and answered:
Il think that power which transmits
sound, movement and heat might also
transmit certain impalpable influences of
disease, but this is at complete variance
with the germ theory. Some have gone so
far as to hold that cholera could come
from Egypt on the regular telegraph
wires, but L can not conceive such thing
possible In the first place the operator
at the Egyptian end of the wire would
have to be suffering from cholera, which
could hardly be if he were at work. The
only one affected, too, cOnceiving such a
thing as this, would be the operator on
that particular line, and he could not
lIduSlHlb IL ANY luibntls tlultoS nS SlAOulu
90 ON working his instrument when he is
taken sick. Any cut off would end the
circuit by which disease might be trans
mitted l don't think it possible that
electricity can spread disease under any
known circumstances"
A Pittsburg physician, who was asked
for an opinion, said: "YOu don't expect
me to oppose the views of a man like
Hardin? l should be laughed at. All
the same, | have been studying this new
theory, and am half inclined to believe
it. Electricity is so strange and is so lit
tie understood that nothing about it
would surprise me. The ideas about the
contagious nature of cholera, however,
have changed. You could wear the
clothes a cholera patient died in without
bit of danger, and | don't think it can
ever become epidemic in the United
States or Europe again. 1t is too easily
checked and yields too rapidly to cleanli-
