THE KOCH METHOD.
Professor Bergmann's Lecture at the Ber-
lin Chemical Hospital.

BERLIN, November 17.--Professor
Bergman delivered lecture last night,
at the Berlin Chemical Hospital, on
thirty-nine cases treated by him accord
ing to the Koch method.
The patients were suffering from
various tubercular affections OF the
joints, bones, skins, glands, throat and
mouth.
One of the patients was suffering from
a tumor on the larynx, and it was doubt
full whether the affection was tubercu-
lar or a cancerous one. He was treated
in the manner laid down by Prof. Koch,
and, as there was no constitutional reac-
tion, Prof. Bergman was led to express
the opinion that the tumor was OF can
cerous formation. Prof. Bergman
illustrated the value of the Koch method
as an aid in diagnosis.
Prof. Koch's indisposition was the re-
suit of an injection of the curative
lymph. 1t was only very slight and has
now passed off.
Prof. Bergman also demonstrated
the Koch cure last night before DIR. Won
Gossler, Prussian Minister OF Ecclesias-
tical Affairs, Instruction and Medical
Affairs, and many noted physicians, in
cluding the celebrated DR.. Kerschen.

AlIusion to McAllister's Book.
New YORK, November 1.-THE West
Presbyterian Church in Forty-second
street was crowded to the doors yester-
day morning.
Before the pastor, the Rev. DIR. Pax
ton, began the sermon he said that lac
wished publicly TO correct false state
ment that had been circulated for some
time. that he had been the recipient OF
500, 900 as a gift from millionaire.
This statement, he said, had caused
him to be solicited for every sort of
charity by people even in distant parts OF
the country. He had even received one
letter from California, asking for aid
to the extent OF $4,000. The statement
about his receiving the gift was false,
and he wanted the lie nailed once and
for all.
DIR. Paxt0n's sermon had Il special in
terest. in that il was advertised to con-
tain an alusion to Ward McAllister's
book. He said, in part: TOO many OF
us devote our whole attention to seeing
who can help us, but the true Christian
seeks to see whom he can help. When a
man thinks only Of himself he soon
begins to esteem himself highly,
and Just rs his own estimation increases,
he falls lower and lower in the estimate
of others. lie finally reaches level
where he is no longer thinking seri-
ously. 1t is a mistake to believe people
will take you at your own level. II this
were so, many OF the most ordinary
men would be great. The world fixes
our level and determines cur position in
every calling OF life.
"'Oh, that mine enemy would write
book and tell me the proper method To
follow when | want to avoid meeting an
old friend because his coat is little
shabby and out of style. Thus would
mine enemy prove himself a monstrous
ass. deserving of nothing but the con-
tempt of decent people. Good people
don't spend their time in trying to dis
cover in what athestic qualities they
differ from other people. The sin OF
the Pharisee is still the curse OF Christ
endom."

HAUNTs HIS DREAMS.
The Spirit of an Innocent Lad Nightly Wis
It's His Murderer.

WINCHESTER, KY, November IT,
All the Perry county warriors. to the
number OF twenty-eight, have been ad-
mitted to bail, and have gone home, cx-
cept four-Thomas Smith, Bob Profit,
Henry Fugatc and Benton Brashears.
The first is considered the worst man
In the whole lot. He is said to
have killed several men during the
feud, but the foulest murder during the
whole war was that Of young Nick
Combs. On April -, 1855, Joe Ever
sole, the original leader Of the faction
by that name, was riding through the
woods about five miles from Hazard, in
company with Nick Combs, boy who
had no connection with either faction.
Tom Smith and others had pre-
pared an ambush for the pur-
pose of killing Eversole, but
when he reached the latter, the spot
selected by his murderers, young Combs
was on the side next the murderers, and
1t was found necessary. either to kill
Combs or let Eversole escape. 1t was
resolved to kill both. Eversole fell
dead at the first fire, with bullet
through his brain and another
through the spinal cord. Young
Combs was desperately wounded;
and fell from his horse. AS he saw
Smith approaching he begged pteOusly
to be spared, but with the remark that
dead men tell no tales, Smith took the
pistol of the fallen lad and shot him sew
eral times In the face, killing him at
once. Since being incarcerated in jail
here Smiths health has failed and the
prison authorities say he will not live
long. Each night in his dreams he sees
the murdered lad and his screams can
be heard outside the prison walls.
The attorneys for the State are not
satisfied with the verdict acquitting Joe
Davidson and have taken an appeal 10
the Court of Appeals. The constitu-
tionality of the statute by which the
prisoners were transferred from Perry
county to this place, which was decided
by Judge Morton to be constitu-
tional, is one of the chief points
at issue. This is the first case
tried under the law allowing criminals
to be sent from county where anarchy
and lawlessness prevail to such an ex-
tent as to prevent the enforcement OF
the laws to another where justice can
be administered without military pro-
lection. As this question is one OF vital
Importance to many of the mountain
counties the decision OF the Court OF
Appeals will be awaited with much in
