THINKS 1T DANGEROUS.
What Pbyslclsn Says About the Promis-
cuous Use of The elixir

What Pbyslclsn Says About the Promls-
cuous Use of The elixir
"what is your opinion Of the Brown
Ssqusrd Elixir of Life?" reporter asked
of one of Wheelipg's most prominent
physicians yesterday.
well, in the first place, DR.. Brown
Sequsrd never called the stuff the Elixir
of Life, and in the second place, the name
is inappropriate. l think that all these
promiscuous experiments are more apt to
do great harm than any good whatever.
DR.. Brown iquaTd is a scientific man of
sound sense, aud thu discovery Of this
medicine-if it may he called so-is in a
line with all the medical discoveries he
has yet made.
IT do not think lie ever thought for a
moment that the stuff would rtjuvenste
any man or woman, because it is mere
folly to think that an Injection of animal
matter into mans arm is going TO make
him as strong and healthy as he perhaps
was in youth, yet this is what many pso-
pie are being led 10 believe.
Inc WDOle uutn OF the matter ID thaI
it is nothing more than tonic, and per-
hsps will not brace man up more notice
ably or effectively thar an injection Of
warm water into his veins. Neither is the
effect likely to last much longer
SIS there any danger connected with its
use?"
81 should say there most certainly is.
Animals are subject to almost the same
diseases that human beings are, and the
man who allows the stuff to be injected
into his arm or side may feel very much
invigorated for awhile, bat the effect is
about as aseting az an il sction of NOR
phine would be, and he is liable to con-
tract some disease or blood poison. In my
opinion it is not safe"

PULLED A POP.
PJ O'NBAL THREATENS TO KILL JOHN
SWAMI
And is Yanksd Before a Justice for His 0fsnss-Hs
aHad Killed One Man, and Would
Kill Another"

There was quite an exciting time at the
Office of the Central Hotel, about four or
five o'clock yesterday morning, and for q
little while it looked as though John
Swami, the well-known young colored
man, would fall victim to revolver
shot. Happily, matters did not reach that
serious stage, but the man with the pistol
was arrested, and had narrow escape
from being held to answer before the
grand Jury.
II seems that on the night Of the S.h
Inst, P. ]. O'Neal, a bOarder at the
house. who does something in the retail
notion trade, missed a sum Of money
from his room. At first he claimed his
loss was eighteen dallars, and stated the
money, a $40, S., So and 81 bill, had been
taken from the inside OF roll he had in
his pocket. Later he claimed S23 was
missing, and he accused several people
about the hotel of taking the cash.
Nothing futher happened until yesterday
morning, when he accused John Swami OF
taking the money, and drawing q re-
yolver. threatened to kill STann. Swami
swore out two warrants for O'Neal, one
charging him with carrying concealed
weapons, and the other with threatening
to kill.
The case came up before Justice Davi s,
last evening, and the evidence was dead
against O'Neal. Swami said on his deny
ing having taken the money, ONeal put
both his hands in his hip pockets, and
drew a revolver with his right, at the same
time partially drawing something which
could not be identified as either knife or
revolver, with his left hand. He told
O'Neal he would "thoot his heart out, "
and further that he would have revenge"
if it cost him $500 or 500" He didn't
care for expenses in such matters.
George johnson, an employe Of the
house, corroborated what Swami said, ard
added that O'Nesl told him he would shoot
Swami, and that he had killed one man,
and would kill another, if necessary.
Three witnesses swore point blank that
O'Neal had the pistol and that be need
the threatening language.
O'Neal made rambling and hesitsting
statement, in his own defense, at the end
of which he confessed to the assault In
drawing the revolver, and was fued $40
and costs, amounting, for the whole thing
To SOB 20.
