ERRORS IN CHANGE OF CLOTHING

Observation of a Physician who Has
studied the Climate and Dress.
In so varying a climate as this many
dangers spring from changes of attire
at different seasons and under varying
conditions Of heat and cold. In the
Summer and in the early autumn the
danger is not very great, but in the first
part Of winter and in the first part of
spring it is at its highest.
In the beginning Of winter the Igh:
autumn clothing is worn, unconscious

clan. Then comes a sudden fall OF
temperature, and the body, only hall
protected. is robbed. Is by a violent
shock, Of its heat. Its minute vessels
are thereby paralyzed, reaction, fever

and the commencement of a cough
which lasts through the winter. or of

who are tainted with that malady, OF
of Group in the child is the result Dur
ing the winter it is the practice 70 adapt
the dress 70 the weather, and to be al
ways rather well provided with extra
warm clothes than the contrary, 50
that in this. the most inclement period,
the risk is less than it is at the periods
when the warm and cold seasons are on
the turn.
with advance of spriny the dangers
increase. a few bright days in March
make winter clothing feel heavy and
uncomfortable. The y; I'm under fan
mel is left of or is repla ed by a cotton
garment and the owe ,oat or wooden
shawl or wrap is thru gn aside. Sud
denly there comes a ipid fall in the
temperature and a biting east wind.
The penalty is the inhiction of recur-
rem disease IN those who have been
recovering from vii Ter illness, and the
prOstratiOn Of many who throughout
the winter have held on free Of all dis

cient vital power which the long treat

THE error in dress during the sum

clothes. The oppression that is felt in
tropical weather from carrying black
garments, which 50 readily absorb the
heat, is most severe. Women who find
themselves Obliged 70 wear heavy Grape

different seasons of the year in respect

zme results. Weight Of bed clothes

The negroes answered by . volley OF shots

JAY GOULp,s CONDITION.
An Alleged Attack of Hysteria ut the Mis-
souri, Pacific Direcfors' Meeting.

An Alleged Attack of Hysteria ut the Mis-
souri, Pacific DIRECTOR Meeting.
NEW York, Oct. 2.-The morning papers
print reports that at the meeting OF Missouri
Pacific directors Jay Gould completely broke
down, his nervous system giving way. He had
been trying to show why the dividend should
be passed.
None of the directors could understand him,
and finally he appreciated, apparently, the I'M
pleasant situation and suddenly sat down,
burst into tears and covered his face with his
handkerchief. subsequently Mr.. Gould COM
planned that he had been extremely nervous
for the last few weeks and that, moreover, his
old stomach troubles were affecting him. Ii
was ascertained that Mr.. Gould was similarly
overcome at q meeting OF the Union Pacific
directors about ten days ago.
Mr.. Gould was first afflicted by these severe
nervous attacks in 1854. at the time Of the
downfall of the Metropolitan Bank. the Marine
Bank and Grant Award and the other startling
developments OF that period, and has never
fully recovered from them.
His sons denied the story Of his breaking
down. Howard Gould, Mr.. Gould's third son.
reached his fathers Office at 1890 o'clock this
morning. He had just arrived from Iryington.
He said: ''My father is not Ill. He is as well ne
ever. These stories about the directors meet
ing are untrue.
"When left home he expected to be at his
once To-Day II the weather was not too bad.
As 1t promises to be rainy day il is likely that
my father will not come to business. There IL
no pressing need for his presence today"
A few minutes later Edward Gould came in.
When asked how his father was he said: Father
is all right. He is well today as he has been
at any time during the summer. The report
about his alleged attack of hysteria at the meet
ing is untrue. You may say that my father lie
as well as he has been for a long time past. OF
course he 10 not as well as he was at twenty
6ve."
The Evening Post says its reporter learned
this morning that the story Of Mr.. Gould break
ing down at the Missouri Pacific meeting ID
true. This is on authority Of director who
was present.
The Euening SUMS Tarrytown, n. Y, special
says: "Mr. Jay Gould went out riding this
morning in his surrey. At his country sea,
at Irvington il was said that they had not
heard that Mr.. Gould was sick. His doctor
went to the city this morning. A great many
persons called at Mr.. Gould's house during
the morning to inquire after his health. No
one saw Mr.. Gould except perhaps few who
passed him on the road while he was out
driving. They say he looked all right and
had not the slightest appearance Of sick
man.
Mr.. Gould viii remain at his home today,
more, perhaps, because he does not want to
see anybody than for any other reason. Evil
IDENTIFY his physician would not have left him il
he were in serious condition"
