advocate their peculiar views, they would have

IRISH IN DISTRESS.
AN APPEAL IS FINALLY MADE FOR SUFFER-
ING POOR.
There Are Certain Glasses Living in Ireland Who
Are Actually Starving For the Bare Nscessi-
ties Of Lifs-Whsre Contributions May
Be Sent-A Statement Of the Case.

DUBLIN, January 4.-The Earl o.
Zetland. the Viceroy Of Ireland, and
Chief Secretary Balfour have issued q
pape. on the condition Of the poor in
the western part OF ireland. The
declaration says: Acute distress will
prevail unless aid is given the Irish
poor. Poverty is chronic in some dis
tricts and will, If the people are not
aided, reach a stage Of acute distress
during the winter and spring. There
is neither resident gentry nor a sub
stantial middle class to give employ
ment, nor are there charitable organiza-
tions TO aid those who are unable 10 aid
themselves.
1t twould be natural to conclude that
In all places where the failure OF the
potato crop is the same the distress Is
the same, but such Is not the case. In
no district does the bulk Of the CON-
munity live wholly on the potato. Every
district has means OF livelihood inde-
pendent of the cultivation OF the potato.
Any plan for relief must not interfere
with the railway relief works, as the
latter are already distributing several
thousand pounds weekly.
Charity ought to be confined first to
families which are in want, which. hay-
ing no able bodied person among them,
cannot derive benefit from the public
relief works: second, to providing meals
in the schools for the children attending
them, and third, to supply clothes for
children unable to procure them else
where. These forms Of assistance are
less liable to abuse than others. Sub
scriptions and clothing will be received
by the Countess OF Zetland, at the Vice
Regal Lodge; Miss Balfour, at the Chief
Secretary's Office, or by the Viceroy, or
Mr.. Balfour.

DIR. KOCH Is ANGRY.
He Thinks the Medical Profession Should
Exercise Moro Patience.

BERLIN, January 4.-Prof. Koch's
first step on returning home yesterday
was to seek conference with DR.. Won
Gossler, ministers of medicinal affairs,
etc, on the action OF the medical So
cieties against the continued secrecy re-
garding the nature Of the lymph and
the present method OF its distribution.
Prof. Koch Is in i'll hImor over the in
creasing severity OF the professional
criticisms here and abroad or he would
disclose the mode of manufacturing the
lymph.
When the Landtag resumes its sittings
an official de ,laration will be made re-
pudating a desire on the part OF the
Government to retain any advantage
through the production OF the lymph,
and expressing its readiness to commun-
icate the process of manufacturing the
lymph through other governments
which are able to guarantee against the
abuse Of the patent chemical agent.
In the meantime the anger of the med
ical circle arising from the privileged
traffic In lymph Is growing in warmth.
| The TdgcbiGu asserts that while many
patients are awaiting treatment large
quantity OF tho lymph remains unused
in the Libbcrtz Laboratory, and that
Drs. Cornet, Dengel and Pfuhl have q
practical monopoly OF the use OF the
lymph.
Dr. Cheyne, of London, has been here
several weeks testing the efficacy OF
the remedy in cases Of leprosy. He has
become convinced Of its value, and will
proceed to st. Petersburg, where he
will inoculate lepers.

SHOT IN THE NECK.
One French Duel In Which Blood Was
Really Spilled.

LONDON, January 1.-THE duel be-
tween a Hungarian magnatc and Paris
ian Boulevardier, which has been so
much talked and written about, both
here and In France, and has excited
much curiosity as TO the names and
station of the combatants, occurred In
this wise: The principals were Count
Tisza, cousin to the Hungarian states
man OF that name, and Viscount de
Marigny, a Partisan man about town.
Some years ago the Hungarian noble
man welded a Mile. Vasilssi, native
of Bohemia, of humble origin, but su-
perb beauty, with that witching grace
of form and languid yet intoxicating
lovelineSs and soulful eyes that mark
her cOuntrywomen.
The lady has since her marriage been
well known in Paris and Vienna, in
which cities, although not received by
the highest aristOcracy, she has always
been held as a model OF female pro-
priety. The Vscouut dc Marigny saw
her and was conquered. His attentions
10 the lovely Countess, whose husband
was then absent, excited remark. A
good deal OF Irritation there undoubted-
ly was between the pair, in Vienna first
and afterward in Paris and Cannes.
The husband, who was in Vienna at the
time, heard reports OF what was going
on behind his back. He came TO Paris
and at once challenged the Viscount de
Marisny arranging the affair in such
manner as TO make 1t appear to have
been caused by quarrel over cards and
to leave the lady's character unsmirched.
The adversaries went secretly to
Marseilles, but the wife, whose conjugal
suspicious were aroused by her hus-
bands moody manner, followed them,
alas, too late! The combat had taken
place, and her husband was wounded
in the neck. The Count and Countess
are living at the same hotel, but the
physicians will not permit the lady TO
see her husband for some time. The
bullet was extracted to-day, and the
patient is doing fairly well, although
not yet out Of danger.
The "cavaliere sirvente" has been
dismissed, at least for the present, and
the repentant wife-beautiful in her
tears-waits anxiously till she can see
her husband and assure him Of her un-
swerving affection. There has been 4
good deal of gossip flying around about
the affair but this is the first time that
the facts have been disclosed.

The owners of the Wilson oil well, neal

inadvertauce, the bit slipped, complete

viSage of machinery. Ii will require
several days TO put things in shape

thinks the well will be sunk to about
1900 feet. The present depth is less
than l,S50 feet, and'only about five feet
below where the first show OF oil was
found, which was after six inches drill
ing in the sand. The present sand is
quite black and as much of mystery
as the oil, which is very intlammable and
about the color of Old Tom gin. 1t is
said TO be OF very superior quality, and
sample Jials are being carefully treas
ured for future reference. The owners
will likely drill another well on the
Patton farm and in the spring both
wells will be tOrpedoed.
The Nutter Fork well that was being
sunk by a Mr. Fretz, was abandoned
yesterday at a depth of 2,467 feet.
