started to the wagon he said he put on his over
coat and dropped his revolver and gloves in the
outside pocket. Lizzie McAtee went to the
wagon first. He helped her in. Then hestarted
to help his wife in. Putting his hands under
her arms he helped her to step on the brake:
then the shot was fired ard she fell back turning
as she fell. She crowded him against the wheel,
he said. and when she struck the ground she
was almost facing him.
She said; 20, Charley! I'm shot"
''Oh, Fanny" he answered.. lit struck the

George william Curtis Speaks ON Civil Ser.
vice Rcform-Onicers Elected.
On the conclusion OF Prof. MacAlister's paper
on art in the Public Schools before the
/ school superintendent in Philadelphia yester-
day. Mr.. Frank Aborn. teacher Of drawing,
! public schools, Cleveland. Ohio. spoke on the
highest Office of drawing. and was followed by
L. W. Day, city superintendent Of Cleveland.
Ohio; Charles E. Gordon. city superintendent
of Yonkers, N. Y, and H. 8. Jones, city SUPER
intendent of Lincoln. Neb.
At the afternoon session the committee ap-
pointed to consider the matter Of school sta
| tistics and report made a report, which was
generally discussed.
At the evening session George william Curtis
read a paper on 1.-THE Public School and Civil
Service Reform" At the termination of Mr..
Curtis address the paper was discussed by Gen.
Morgan, commissioner Of Indian affairs. Mr..
Prettyman, state superintendent of Maryland,
then proposed rising vote of thanks to Mr.
Curtis. which was unanimously adopted.
The following officers of the department Of
! superintendent were elected for the ensuing;
year: President, Henry Sabin of Iowa; first vice
president n. G.. Curtis Of Connecticut: second
vice president, Oscar H. Cooper of Texas and
secretary, L. W. Day of Ohio. A breezy debate
arose when the time came for fixing the place
for holding the next meeting. Brooklyn was
finally selected
HOW WASHINGTON LOST THE NEXT MEETING.
Today's Philadelphia Times says; Superin-
tondent Powell of Washington made an exceed
ingly ingenious plea for the capital city and
had the active and useful support of DIR. Shell
/ don Then standing vote was taken.
1t resulted, % for Washington, Is for BROOKLYN.
5 for Philadelphia. 8 for Madison and for
Little Rock. 1t was agreed to drop the three
latter cities and permit Washington and Brook
lyn to have it ont between them. Here's where
the Washington superintendent, in his eager
ness to get the educators to come his way, made
his faux pas Between ballots Prof Powell got
up and made a speech pointing out the advan-
tages of Washington as a place of meeting. and
in his brief but pointed remarks was unwise
enough to utter sentence or two which, if not
disparaging to Philadelphia or Philadelphia
hotels. was not wholly complimentary. Prof.
McAlister clearly irritated by Mr.. Powell's
observations, and an old gentleman in a skull
cap and with snow-white whiskers glared at the
speaker as savagely as his benignant expression
would let him. When the second ballot WAS
taken both of these gentlemen, who had pre-
viously voted for Washington, changed over to
Brooklyn, and the result was: Brooklyn, 80
Washington 20. With the two votes mentioned
Washington would have barely scraped through.
and Prof Powell was sorry he criticised the
Philadelphia hostelries and their prices.

Outragcs of Western White Cana.

Mr.. George and Miss Yorg of Clear Lake,
Iowa, were married a week ago, contrary to the
wishes of the lady's parents. Monday nigh,
eleven mask ed men went to the home of the
newly married pair, dragged the husband on,
of bed and threatened to shoot him unless he
i'm mediately left town. He refused to do 90
and the men dragged him, his wife all the time
clinging to him, to the railroad track. He was
put on the first train that left the city. He got
of at the first station, however, and came back
and will make it extremely lively for the white
caps. Two of his alleged assailants have
already been arrested.
White caps Tuesday night went to the
house Of John Mcconnell in New Amsterdam.
Ind, and breaking in the door took him and
his wife outside and whipped them. The two
victims were then carried to a shanty boat and
were turned adrift in the Ohio river at night.
With great difficulty the man made a landing.
as the wind was very high and the river WAS
rising rapidly. There Is no clue to the white
caps.

several hours yesterday in the Interior Depart

department is run. He did not call on Sec
Rotary Noble, as that official is not now in the

of the other officials. In company with an en-
ploye he went through the corridors. visited
the model room and even went down to the
basement where public documents are stored.
He made pretty thorough tour of inspection,
and if he goes through the other department
buildings in the same style he will be in po-
sition to give points to his alliance associates
next fall. Mr.. Simpson said to one of the en-
ployes that he wanted to get acquainted with
department methods and had taken this means
Of doing so.

DIR. Bernheim Transfuses a Goats Blood Into

| A special cable dispatch from Paris saws:
The members Of the medical profession and
the press were invited today to witness expert
ments in DR.. Bernheim's new system of curing
| tuberculosis by the TRANSMISSION of blood. An
operation was performed in their presence.
goat was dashed to a table and an incision made
in its throat at the carotid artery The pa
tients then knelt around the table where the
| goat was lying. The arm was tightly ban
daged above the elbow and a small incision
made in vein. An assistant then inserted a
canula ending in a rubber tube, which ex-
tended to and was fixed in the carotid artery
Of the goat.
One minute and half sufficed to inject $50
grammes of blood. and meanwhile the patient
convcrsed calmly and naturally. One Of the
women operated on was asked to describe the
sensation and she said there was no sensation
whatever to it beyond the prick of the lancet
when the canula was inserted. and il she had
not known that TRANSMISSION was progressing
she ihould have perceived nothing at all. The
patients all say that the results obtained from
the operations are most satisfactory.
EIGHT CONSERVATIVES SAVED.
When the TRANSMISSION was completed DR..
Bernheim presented the eight patients to the
audience. He said that when they came to
him their condition was desperate: now their
coughs were lessened. their sleep and strength
were returning and their weight had increased
The doctor quoted curious case of washer
woman who had tuberculosis and cavities in
both lungs when she first consulted Dr. Bern
helm, but now the insomnia has left her and
she is able to work regularly the entire day,
The doctor concluded by saying he would not
say a certainty that his method would cure
the disease, but he had full hope and concern
ing the cure of the results of hemorrhages he
feels full of certainty.
Before beginning the operation the doctor
explained his views regarding his method and
said the object in thus giving this public illus
tration was not 30 much to demonstrate the
efficacy Of his cure as it was to prove that the
TRANSMISSION Of blood, which was considered
law in France, involves no danger when proper
conditions surround it and when it is scientific
ally done.

since the remedy is applicable to many other

Another poin. which hope to elucidate by
these experiments is the harmless TRANSMISSION
OF one species into another species, against
which at the present moment there is strong
prejudice. Now. have been able to trace in
