A STRANGE DISEASE,

CHICAGO, April Lying in the county
hospital, imploring the physicians to help
him, is a patient whose malady has baffied
the skill of the entire medical staff of the
institution and many physicians, surgeons
and specialists in nervous diseases who
have been called in to diagnose it. The
patient is Charles Weeks, an expert ac-
countant. who was admitted 10 the hos
pital for treatment three months ago. He
had fallen from the top of car and hurt
his head, which, however, had healed.
When admitted he was apparently in
fairly good health but for peculiar
affiiction His whole system seemed to
have peculiar aversion to the touch of a
human being. a persons hand laid upon
any portion of his anatomy sent thrill
through him like that produced by an
electric shock. He could not perform his
daily work because of the unavoidable
contact with people, particularly in the
street cars. Since Weeks has been in the
hospital, scores of experts in nervous dis,
eases have been attracted to the hospital
bv reason of the strange malady, but
they have all come away nonplussed.

THE ClITHEROE CASE.

LONDON, April IA committee headed
bv Bishop Roberts is circulating an appeal
for funds in order to carry the Clitheroe
case to the house of lords. The commit
tees appeal asserts that it is In the inter
est of religion and morality that the final
appeal should be made.
The Clitheroe case, it will be remember
ed, consisted in the abduction by her own
husband of a Mrs. Jackson, a wealthy
lady whose relatives had persuaded her
not to live with her husband The court
of appeals recently decided that the hus-
band could not compel his wife to live
with him, and ordered her to be allowed
to choose her own residence. The conten-
tion of counsel for the husband was that a
husband was virtually tie owner of his
wife, and that, therefore, he was justified
in abducting her and in compelling her to
reside with him.

views set out by Senator ingalls, in his
naval article are certainly not believed by
himself. Our new cruisers--abouta dozen
in number-would be of service ana
would be fought for all that they, are
worth, but they were never INTENDED 20
stand before armored battle ships, or
against anything else than such unarm- atr

would, however, be useful to destroy the
lines of water communication by which

In conclusion, Commodore Ramsay said
he did not feel that New York was in i'm
