MAKING OLD MEN YOUNG AGAIN.
DR.. Hammond Thinks DR.. Brown-Seauard's
Elixir of Life Is Great Discovery.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Dr. William A.
Hammond, of this city. is experimenting
with the elixir of life recently discovered
by DR.. Brown-Sequard, of Paris. and thus
far he says the results are fully equal to
the promises given by the great Paris ply
sician. DR.. Hammond was sitting ON the
veranda of the fine new hospital which he
has just built outside the city limits when
a correspondent called on him tonight
1T Is true" said the Doctor, that when
DIR. Brown-Sequard's discovery was first
reported I'd the American people / was
rather dubious, and inclined more or less to
think. as others had hinted, that the
report was a French joke. or that DR..
Brown-Sequard was another good man
gone wrong. was willing, at
all events. TO put it to the test,
and about q week ago 1 started to expert
ment. DR.. Brown-Sequard uses only Sc
lected portions of the rabbit or guinea pig,
but have adopted the lamb. which think
Is better.
The preparation of the medicine and
the treatment of the patient are simple. l
killed and pound it into pulp in a mortar;
with this l mix teaspoonful or two of
water, and the mixture / filter through
fine Swiss .filtering paper. The fluid,
slightly thicker than water. comes through
perfectly pure and limpid. 1t would hardly
be safe to inject the fluid derived from a
body twenty-four hours after the killing of
the animal. began my experiments first
on myself to assure myself it was not dan
gsrous to the patient. Since then have
applied the elixir to several old gentlemen
without their knowing what 1T was.
One man about sixty years of
age had had his arm so nearly paralyzed
with rheumatism that for nearly year he
could not raise his hand to his head. Soon
after the elixir was injected into the arm
he was able to WELD it in any direction.
and almost as vigorously as he had ever
done.
Up to the present my experiments have
been made without the patients knowledge,
but tomorrow am going to begin treating
q man in this way at his own request. OF
course. it is too early yet TO draw any
sweeping conclusions from the result OBJ
tained, but as far as have gone the results
are certainly remarkable. When / have
continued my experiments longer / shall
be able to draw conclusions with more con-
fidence. DR.. Brown-Sequards calculation

TRUSTS IN GERMANY.

Their Effect on the Social Condition of the
Empire, and Their Relation to Strikes.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Aug. Jacob Mueller,
consul general of the United States at
Frankfort-on-the-Mai under date of May
q, 1882, sends to the State Department q
report OH the formation of stock companies
or trusts in Germany, which he calls the
incorporation fever" Mr.. Mueller says
that he has always looked dlstrustfully on
existing affairs there. Recent events-the
gigantic strikes by which Germany was
yisited-seemed to him to prove that the
social conditions are fraught with
danger The strikes, he says, are
outgrowth of unbearabie conditions. in

just now, Mr.. Mueller says, Germany is
showing symptoms of a business fever SIM

ated in the crash of 1873. 1t is taking the
form OF the creation of industrial enter

Sir Julian Pauncefote Alleged to Be Effect
ing New Convention In England
Epecial to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Aug. lit is expected
that there will be an informal conference
between the President and such members
of his Cabinet as may be in the city to-
morrow, in relation to the reported seizure
of a British vessel in Behring sea- The af-
fair has created very little comment here.
and there is absolutely no excitement
whatever in either army or navy CIRCLES,
because of the warlike news, which comes
from Ottawa. 1t is understood that before
he left this country for England Sir Julian
Pauncefote. the British minister, had a
consultation with Secretary Blaine, in
reference to this very matter, as well as
the Atlantic seaboard fisheries. 1t is as
serted that Sir Julian told the Secretary of
State that the British government is as de-
sirous of preventing determination of the
fur seals as is the American government,
but the British are not willing to admit
the claim of the United States that Behr-
ing sea Is mare clausum. The story goes
further that the prime object of the return
of the British minister was not, as re-
ported, to bring his family over. although
he will bring them with him on his re-
turn, but to secure from the British home
Office the draft of a new convention cover
ing many of the subjects now in dispute
between the United States on the one
hand and British North America on the
other. 1t is owing to this fact, undoubt-
edly. that Assistant Secretary Wharton
expresses his unqualified belief that the re-
ported seizure will not lead to any open
rupture between the two governments.
A gentleman who was strongly instru-
mental in securing the passage of the bill
for the protection of the fur-seal industry,
which is the basis of General Harrison's proc.
lamation of last March, admitted frankly
to-day, that he did not believe at the time
he spoke in behalf of the bill on the floor
of the House that the United States coul6
maintain its position of exclusive jurisdic-
ton over the body of water known al
Behring sea. He said further that one Of
the objects of those who urged the passage
Of the bill most strenuously was TO bring
about some negotiations which would re-
suit in an International agreement to pro-
tect the breeding grounds, and TO prevent
the slaughter of female seals. He thought
President Harrison's proclamation could
have no other effect, and predicted that be-
fore another year rolls around a treaty will
be presented TO the Senate which will
definitely settle the controversy over these
valuable fishing grounds.

STREET WIDENING MEETING.

An Almost Unanimous Feeling Among
the PrOperty-Owners of Beretania
Street to Have That ThOrOughfare
Made Twenty Feet Wider:
Shortly after IL a. m. yesterday, a
meeting of property-owners, on Bere-
tania street, was convened in the Cham
Der of Commerce
MIR. &. M. Cooke was in the chair, and
about fifteen persons were present, in
Guiding His Excellency the Minister of
the Interior.
Alter the Chairman had explained the
purpose of calling the meeting, Mr.. T.
r. Lucas stated his entire concurrence
with the objects of the movement to
widen Beretania street, and moved that
committee of three be appointed to
canvass among the property owners of
said street, and endeavor to get their
consent to widen it ten feet on both sides
between the intersections of Punahou
and PunchboWl streets, with the proViso
that IN case there was not unanimous
consent, the committee be authorized to
draw up petition to be presented to the
Minister of the Interior for appointment
OF jury.
The said Minister being present, stated
that committee had already called on
him regarding this matter, and he had
stated that the appropriation covering
street improvements was not large
enough to effect the contemplated i'm
provement to Beretania street Unless the
property owners gave the necessary land
Tree OF cost to the government. at the
same time, if this condition were agreed
upon, the government would put the
fences back and grade the street accord
ing to the increased width.
Mr.. Rosewarne said he did not believe
in giving his land away without pay
ment. He is hardworking and honest
man, and would be doing an injustice to
such gift. The widening of the street,
he thought, might benefit the wealthy
owners who could spare ten feet
from their properties and not feel it; but
the case was different with him as he
was poor man and had to work hard
for all he had.
Mr.. 7. R. Lucas tried to correct the
last speaker, but the latter was under
stood to say that he "was of the same |
opinion STILL"
Messrs. G.. P. Castle, E. G.. Rowe, H. |
A. Wldemann and others, spoke in
favor of the movement for widening the
street; and the motion made by Mr..
Lucas was then put and carried unani-
mously.
The chairman then appointed thu fol-
lowing committee in accordance with the
L. R. Lucas, E. G. Damon,
and G. D. Berger.
The meeting was then adjourned sine
die.
