giving heavy verdicts against railroad
companies or municipalities, but the
general public are not aware of the
fact that in the majority of instances
the greater part OF the money goes to
the attorneys Some time ago little
boy named Charley Otbann was ser.
iously injured by traction car In
Philadelphia, and SUIT was brought
against the company. A jury award
ed him $50, G23. so damages, which the
papers said was to be placed where il
would draw interest until he was 81
years oil age. AS matter of fact he
will get but very little of this amount.
as $4,000 goes to his lawyer, and a
large portion Of the remainder 10 a
man who worked up the case and
secured the evidence. 1t appears from
this that there are attorneys who arc
constantly on the watch for cases of
this kind, which as soon as they secure
them on contingent lee, arc skilfuliy
managed to arouse public sympathy
for the injured party, when as a mat.
ter OF fact 1t Is only battle on the
part OF the lawyer to secure o big fee.
Some time ago Senator Evarts said
that contingent fec meant that: "If
the case is lost the lawyer gets moth
ing; il II is won the client gets moth.
ing," and there is no doubt but this is
q TACT. In the greater number of dam.
age cases the lawyers get one half.
leaving the other half, less costs and
expenses for the damaged party, while
In other cases the attorneys get two.
thirds Of the amount awarded, leaving
but little for the party injured. Ii
these facts were known to every Jury
that is called upon to try cases OF this
kind it is very probable that the award
Of damages would be much smaller
than It generally Is. The Philadelphia
Times in speaking of this matter says;
"As these railway damage cases have
become universal Contingent cases Il
would he only fair to have an honest
record IN tLe!r title before the court and

TO CURE DlPHTHERlA.
Turpentine said to Be Almost Specific to
the Disease.

We have on several occasions re-
ferred to the use of turpentine in
diphtheria' Recommended originally
in Germany and claimed to be almost
specific, it was there, also. that the
employment of the drug was subject
ed to the most severe criticism. Some
recent publications have again drawn
attention to the alleged value OF this
substance, and most remarkable among
these is an article which appeared in
the Therapeutische Monatshef1e. The
author asserts that he has employed
turpentine in diphtheria for the last
four years. In that time he lost only
FIVE cases out OF sixty that came under
treatment. Two of the fatal cases
/ concerned infants. who appeared mort
bund when first taken. and died few
hours later, The other fatal cases
were also unusually severe from the
start. two dying in thirty-six hours,
and one surviving five days. This Is
certainly noteworthy record, as
diphtheria statistics go, The oil OF
turpentine was administered in dram
doses three times a day. Sweet spirits
Of inter was used as a corrective, in
The proportion of one part OF the
spirits to fifteen Of turpenune
/ symptoms OF intoxication were never
( observed by the author. In addition
to the turpentine, per cent soiu-
ton OF sodium salycilate was given
every two hours in tablespoon doses,
A gargle OF chlorate of potash solution
was likewise employed whenever posi-
BILE. Under this plan of treatment
rapid amelioration of local signs ana
| constitutional symptoms was observed
Usually improvement began at once,
and it was rarely necessary to push the
drug beyond five or eight doses. Ii
should be remarked in this connection,
however, that a very generous ane
stimulating EQid diet (strong broth,
port wine, milk formed a feature OF
DR.. Roses plan Of treatment Those
who are inclined 10 be skepticai in re
gard to the utility of medicines in the
severer forms of diphtheria [and the
profession contains many such} viii
scarcely accept the authors figures
without a challenge. On the other
hand. for the very reason that violent
diphtheria ordinarily justines st
gloomy a prognosis, We are ever ready
to employ any means which may
possibly reduce its frightful mortality
There is no reason. therefore, why the
tnrnentine treatment of this disease
should not be given a fair trial

LOTTO IN ITALY.
Game Which Devours the Earnings OF
the Poor with Regularity.

The Italians are natural gamblers.
The national game of lotto, now under
the patronage and control OF the Gov
eminent, is patronfzed to an incredi-
BILE extent The chances of winning are
less than few and far between; but
rich and poor priest and peasant, pat
ronize it with persistent regularity.
The poor actually go without food and
pawn the very beds they lie on in order
to buy their weekly tickets. The game
itself is of simple form. Numbers from
to 80 inclusive are placed in large
revolving wheel, and at noou on Satur-
day, in the presence of the municipal
officers and Government representa-
tives, five numbers are drawn forth by
FIVE different children gathered at
random from the waiting crowd.
These numbers are then publicly pro-
claimed as the winning numbers for
the week and telegraphed far and near.
Previous to the Saturday drawing
that is to say from Sunday morning
till Friday night-tickets are sold.
The purchaser chooses his own num-
bers, and he may buy two or three or
four or five. just as he pleases. 1t is
needless to say that to choose five win
ming numbers is akin to a miracle.
Two numbers not unfrequently come
out. and occasionally lucky investor
hits on three; but these are rare ex-
ceptions, and, as at Monaco and other
public tables, the percentage is SO
heavily in favor OF the bank, that the
people lose their money with delicious
regularity. To prevent cheating and
possible COLLISION. the offices are
closed for the sale OF tickets on Friday
night and remain unopened till the day
after the drawing takes place. The
prizes vary in value in proportion to
the amount paid for the ticket. and are
tempting enough to keep the poor still
poorer. while the Government Golfers
grow full and overflow. - Chambers
