A Dane With Strange Skin Disease Goes

A Dane With a Strange Skin Disease Goes
 to a Hospital for Examination.
 CHICAGO, H., Aug. 20.-August Johns on, a Dane, 21 years old, came to the County Hospital the other day to consult the doc tors about a loathsome skin disease from which he was suffering. After careful ex animation the physicians have now decided that the patient was suffering from uber- cuIar leprosy, and h @ was placed In an iso- lated compartment of the contagious ward. Johnson came to this country when but three years of age, and enjoyed the best Of health until eight months ago, when tho disease first made it's appearance in the form of small red blotch on his right loin. It spread until it became as large as a mans hand. Similar tubercles appeared in different parts of the body until he was covered.
 His neighbors began to shun the man, ard finally his appearance on the highway or in the field was the signal for general scattering of his former companions. John son could not stand this, and gathering his few effects together and drawing from the bank his small savings, he came to Chicago.
 The origin of the disease is mystery to the doctors. They can only account for 1t from the man's nationality, and from the fact that the part of Denmark whence he came, near Stockholm, Is infested with lepers. If their theory is true the malady has lain dormant for eighteen years at least

His Mothers Last Kiss,

NEW YORK, Aug. 20 7 ''Goodby, poor Dan pll not be long after you. We will be buried side by side" These are the last words that Danny Lyons, the condemned murderer, will ever hear from his mother. They were the parting words sobbed out by her as she clung to hls neck in the Tombs yesterday afternoon, and bade him a final farewell It was a sad scene, and all day long the condemned man had dreaded 1t. Lyons sister was the first to enter the new prison where her brother was She embraced him in tears. Just then the mother, supported by the Sister of Mercy, entered. and the moment her eyes rested upon her son, she swooned away. He ran quickly to her assistance, and kneeling down beside her kissed her while his tears fell upon her face. It was Q pathetic sight, but the sisters led him gently away and in a few minutes they had restored the mother to conscIousness. He knelt on one knee by her side while she sat upon the stool which had served for his seat and caressed him.

THE FisHERiEs TREATY.
Secretary Bayard Talks About Its Rejec.
 ton and the Retaliation Act.


 WARRINGTON, Aug. 20.-Secretary Bay ard, in an interview on the fisheries treaty now pending before the Senate, said: 'I have no knowledge and never had any knowledge of any intention to withdraw the treaty.
 The Secretary added that he knew that Senator Nor gan had said that if he were President he would withdraw the treaty, but still, he said, he had no knowledge of any intention on the part of the President to withdraw it.
 twill the rejection of the treaty termi- nate the modus vivendi, which was to last for two years ]" the secretary was asked.
 "No, not necessarily. Under that modus vivendi some of our fishermen have al- ready secured licenses from the Canadian Government and can carry on their busi- ness without molestation until the license expire, possibly for a year. The modus vivendi was proposition that was made to us entirely from the other side. The United States Government has nothing to do with it, and suppose 1t would be with in the right of Canada to withdraw it in case the fisheries treaty is rejected But it's continued existence does not necessar- fly depend upon the treaty."
 "Would you care to say, Mr. Secretary what the policy of the Government will be after the rejection of the treaty. Is the negotiation of another treaty within the range of possibilitym
 "The Republican Senators have set themselves against every possible treaty. The report of the Republican majority of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the treaty, which was prepared by Mr. Ed munds, declares that the President has no right or power to negotiate treaty with out the previous consent of the Senate. and the Republican Senate has said that the matter is not to be settled by negotia- tion. On Senator Edmund3's report, l suppose, the treaty is to be rejected The retaliation act is still law. It has been a law these seventeen months, and it may be practically applied by the President at any time.O

Rain has proved beneficial to the tobacco crop of Kentucky, although the plant in some sections has been pre- maturelv ripened by prev ious dry weather. In New England and the Middle Atlantic States the weather during the week was generally favorable for all growing crops.

IgnatIus DonnetPy Gets Back With the
 Cryptogram Key in Ills Pocket.
 NEW YORK. Aug. 2O.-Ignatius Donnelly, who believes that Bacon wrote Shakes. pere'" and wants everybody else to agree with him, arrived from Europe last even- ing, on the Aurania. Mir. Donnelly has spent about five months in the United Kingdom, where he went primarily for the purpose ot having his book, ''The Great Cryptogram," copyrighted. He stood by Shakespere's tomb, but refused to drop tear, and has completely hardened his heart against him.
 MT. Donnelly said that he had had good time. He brought the key to his Shakespeare cryptogram with him, but he did not reveal it to the reporters. The most eminent of his converts, he said, was MT. John Bright. MT. Donnelly took part in an undergraduates debate on the Bacon question at the Oxford Union, wherein, when vote had been taken, it appeared that thirty of the undergraduates were converts to the belief that Bacon wrote Shakespeare to 127 against it. At Cam bridge vote under like circumstances was 1O1 Bacontans to 121 of opposite faith.
 MT. Dounelly visited CouNty Tyrone, in Ireland, the former homo Of his father, and mado the people speech, in which he told them that they ought to have a Govern ment at Dublin and protective tariff, and those sentiments were vociferously ap- plauded," he says.
 MT. Donnelly was asked about a report that he had agreed In writing to run for Governor on the labor ticket and protec- tion platform He said:

That the unexpected frequently occurs in baseball, as well as many other things has been demonstrated once more during the last few days. The line of battle which was drawn by the Western League teams fortnight ago has beer completely changed, and after yesterdays meeting nothing was left III New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington to tell of tho crushing defeats administered to the visit ing clubs as the players shake the dust of these cities from their feet.
 There have been Waterloos on the da- mohd before, but it ia doubtful II any have occurred since the game was introduced which have been so disastrous as those re- ceived by Indianapolis, Plttsburg and De- troit teams on this trip. The two former left the West full of fight and confident of winning a majority of the contests. They were in perfect physical condition and their weapons of war were not in tho least defective They had been so fortu- nate in downing Detroit and Chicago that it was considered mere matter of time when they would win new laurels at the expense of their Eastern rivals.
 When the teams came together they re- affixed 1t was 0 question of sectional differ ence and the four Eastern clubs met their foes boldly. That they were prepared for ths encounter can be judged by the results. AO6 AOuE C1upS O1 InIS SSCIloA "CRo uOE0 than 6 match for their antagonists They outbatted and outfieIded their opponents and in the majority ot games they won on their merits. Of course there was cer tain amount o1 luck with some of the teams, but they have In the past taken advantage of the crippled condition of their rivals, such as tn Detroits, for instance. They hoped, nevertheless, to win some of the games, and to say that they are greatly disappointed is putting it very mild; but they no doubt, find consolation in the fact that they were defeated while doing their best to win. f
 It is doubtful, too, if any other club could have done better under the circumstances than the Wolverines. They have been without Sam Thompson, thelr heavy hit ting rightfielder, whose lame arm has given him no end of trouble; Hardie Richardson, Peter Conway and Dave Rowe. Catcher Bennett is also far from well, notwiths tand- ing the fact that he is playing behind the bat.
 Without i've such able players little could be expected of any team, and the men csnnot help feeling greatly discouEege1 As

 The murder of Pilon was the most cold blooded affair ever known in this region. Caza called at the hotel and got into soma dispute with Pilon's son. While it was going on the elder Pilon, knowing nothing of the difficulty or what led to it, entered the room, and was shot down by Caza on sight before a word could be uttered.

There have been several import mt changes In the Association last week. Tho Cincinnatis, who Saturday week were in fourth place, are now leading the Broollyns.
 The BrooklyRs have .been playing very unsteadily the past week, and their defeats In Louisville and Kansas City have counted against them. If they want place in the race they will soon have to be up and doing. They, with the Athletics and Cincinnatis, are well punched together and are making pretty fight for second and third places.
 St. Louis in the meantime is steadily in creasing it's lead. Comiskey has his team now we'll prepared for the work that lies before it ,and they will not give up the championship without hard struggle.
