TO KILL CAPT. CLARKE.
Dredgers Intended to Assassinate the
Captain Of the Folly.

An Annapolis special to the Baltimore Amer
lean last night says: ''The city of Annapolis

more, stating that an attack would be made to-
night by fleet Of forty dredgers on Capt Geo.
W. Clarke the captain of the state fishery force
schooner Folly, now on guard at Hackett's
Point oyster bar, 4 miles from Annapolis. The
dispatch says that the intention was to kill
Capt Clarke. The steamer McLane was here,
but repairs to her boilers were in progress, and
as her cannon was in process of remounting
she was unable to go to Capt. Clarkes relief.
In this strait application was made by Gov.
Jackson to Commander Sampson. of the naval
academy, to allow the state the use of several
steam launches and Calling guns.

Blood Letting in Pneumonia.

PLEA FOR THE REVIVAL OF AN OLD REMEDY FOR
THE CURE OF NEW DISEASE.
From the New York Herald.
As the present winter approaches, when pneu-
monia holds high carnival in the northern
states, an editorial article in the New York
Medical Record Of the 9Th inst. is peculiarly
timely. The article deals mainly with the re-
suits of the recent experiments in pneumonia
Of the Italian physician Maragliano, who pro-
poses to revive the old plan of blood letting
when the heart is ON the point of breaking
down.
1t is certain, as the Medical Record SAYS, ..the
management of the affection at the present
day is far from satisfactory" Pneumonia APP
pears to be an infectious disease depending
upon the presence or micro-organisrls. The
hrst practicable measure for combating it is to
promote the elimination Of the poisonous mat
tiers from the blood. which occasion the most
fatal symptom of sudden heart failure OH the
patient Blood letting, judiciously practiced
at the critical time, relieves mechanically the
pressure on the heart. DIR. Maragliano bled
twelve cases OF pneumonia Of average gravity,
abstraeting from five to ten ounces on the
fourth or fifth day of the disease, the venesec-
ton being repeated once. He found that there
was an Improvement in the circulation, the
pulse diminishing in frequency and becoming
fuller, and the twelve cases all recovered
This is strong evidence of the value of bleed
ing.
The Italian physicians plea for the revival
OF blood letting is that its judicious employ
ment may save many lives that otherwise
would be sacrificed when the heart is on the
point OF being overpowered by the toxic mat
ters IN the blood OF the pneumonia patients.

A Trying Time.

From the N. Y. Graphic.
From now on until Christmas is the time Of
the year that tests the Christian fortitude of
the husband. If he goes home and finds no
dinner ready, if the neck-band of his shirt
saws into his epidermis, if he finds several par
TALLY worn suits missing, if he gets little bills
from this and that merchant for frills that he
never wears, if his wife greets him in hoarse
whisper and wonders how he can be so petu-
liant, if the grocery bills double, if his wife
comes wandering in about bedtime all tired. if
the children's clothes seem to have been biz
zarded, if he is kept in ignorance of certain
mysterious goings on in his home he must not
complain. He must look happy if he isn't.
He must be contented. He need ask no ques-
tions. He has only to read the papers. He
will see that the church fairs have started.

''The Men are as Bad as the Women

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
In a recent brief note published in The STAR
lady writer endeavors to mitigate criticism
upon certain feminine peculiarities in public
BY citing certain masculine foibles, observing
that men are as bad women" The implica-
ton Is that the habit Of men in spreading the
tails Of their coats, hitching up their panta-
looms as they SIT down and pulling down their
Guns, Is quite an offset to that of ladys wear
ing high hat in a theater. or adjusting her
hustle IN a street car. In this comparison Of
peculiarities IL is but fair to saw that the
writer wholly misconceives the point at issne
In the one case il is the adjustment of outer
and visible garments, and in the other of inner
and invisible. The New York Tribune once
remarked that the limit of decorum had been
passed when public discussion of women's
Undertaking was entered upon. And we beg
to say that IN the judgment OF men the remark
holds equally good in this matter of arranging
ones undergraduates. and we know of no
special dispensation In favor of the hustle
In the case OF the hat il is simply a selfish
ness carried to the extent of an annoyance and
a nuisance. venture TO say that not one in a
hundred of the most common workingmen
would ever so far trespass upon decency as to
set about arranging his underclothing in
street ear IN the presence of ladies. or wear his
hat TO the Inconvenience Of Others when il
could equally well be dispensed with
30 long as ladies' persist in the high hat at
the theater. and IN encouraging the slaughter
OF Little birds for their own decoration. and in
adjusting their underclothing before the pub
lie. they can hardly complain il their sense of
courtesy, kind feeling and modesty stands at
somewhat Of q discount. X

rated extensively in this county in the sale Of
oats and other farm seeds at exorbitant prices,
