Tennessee Prisoners Anxious to Try the
New Treatment
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 1.-THE interest
in the Brown-Sequard elixir of life is in
creasing in this city DIR. George s Glenn,
state prison physician, encouraged by the
success attending an experiment made by
him, has decided to begin a series of expert
ments among inmates of the penitentiary,
who are anxious to subject themselves to the
new treatment About three weeks ago DIR.
Glenn and his partner, Dr. Schultz, began
to experiment, DIR. Schultz himself being
the subject chosen. At the time the expert
ments began DIR. Schultz had partially recov-
cred from an attack of malarial fever and
was suffering from asthmstic troubles, which
had reduced him about thirty pounds in
weight
Success in His Case.
He presented pale, emaciated appearance,
his face being almost colorless. His pulse
was frequent small and compressible, and
his nervous system much Frustrated One
drachm of the fluid was injected into the
cellular tissues Of the abdomen; the pale face
flushed, and the eyes assumed hrilliancy and
sparkle as from an intoxicant. The feeling
OF lassitude disappeared and a nervous en-
ergy began to thrill the whole body. The
effect of the treatment is still plainly felt.
From that day the patients general health
has greatly improved. DIR. Schultz is gain

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. IA repre-
sentative Of the United Press called on Act
ing Postmaster General Clarkson yesterday
for information in regard to the appointment
of negro clerk by the new postmaster at
Atlanta, Ga, Gen. Lewis, which resulted in
much excitement and in the burning in effigy
OF Postmaster Lewis and Gen Buck, lead
ing Republican Of the state Gen. Clarkson
said: "The story as it was printed in the
Atlanta papers and sent north was to the
effect that Postmaster Lewis had appointed
a negro clerk and assigned him to duty at the
same desk with young white W oman.
The Real Facts In the Case.
"The real facts, however, are these: After
Gen. Lewis appointment as postmaster one
OF the registry clerks resigned The post
master then appointed Charles c. Penny
(coloredl, who stood at the head of the list of
eligibles, as he was compelled by the law to
do He was assigned to work in the registry
division, not in the same room with the
young lady. but in another. This young
.ady and her father, who was superintend-
ent of the registry division and had the as
signment of the clerks, both resigned, simply
because negro had been appointed to a
placs in the office, AMI not because an at
tempt had been mode to a place a negro at
the same desk with the young lady. From
this grew all the trouble in Atlanta, and the
effort 10 utilize the incident for party preju-
dice.
The Cutlery Insincere.
"The insincerity of this cry is shown by the
fact that there were five negro clerks in the
Atlanta postoffice under the Democratic post
master, and for six Years young white lady
has been at the window selling stamps to all
people, black and white. There is nothing in
the matter for the department 10 act upon,
and there is nothing in the action of POST
master Lewis to be criticised by fair-minded
people. Instead of doing anything violently
against the southern prejudice towards ne
groes, the postmaster sought in making the
appointment to obviate any ground for OBJ
lection on account of such prejudice.
Standing OF Colored Men
~ln the postal services We find many of our
efficient men are among the colored men. We
have probably hundreds of them in the ssrv-
ice altogether, and they make good average
