An Accident Which Resulted in
the Loss of a Life

A terrible accident occurred at the Cha M
bers mill at Lakeland yesterday, resulting in
the killing of Oluf Nelson. an employe in
stantly. Nelson had worked at the mill three
seasons and was a careful workman. He had
charge of the slot cutting-off saw, and yes
terday morning sta. ted to work as usual. He
had not been working long, however, when
the saw snapped in two in the center. one of
the pieces striking him. cutting off his left
leg and disembowling him. Before ANYBODY
reached the spot he had breathed his last
The cause for the saw breaking was the
striking of knot with such force as to check
its motion, causing the steel to break Mel

to follow up the clue he could have
heard story about the kind OF
snakes that frequent the central station
which could not have failed to interest,
though it might have Mortified him. To
one who makes the rounds of the sta
tons at night. these whisky-bred snakes
are familiar enough. Perhaps he can
not see them himself actually. but he
sees them Just as wildly portrayed in
his minds eye as though they were
really crawling all over the floor, fight
ing and squlrming for supremacy with
other reptiles, rats, mice and vermin
generally. Get three delirium trenlen
patients in the station at once. and all
violent ones, and between them they
will make the coolest headed man in the
place believe that all the imps of the In
ferno are loose in = his immediate vi
cinity.
Come I'm Groups.
Two or three days may go by without
at once there will be a rush, quickly fill
ing up the ward. Most of the cases are
of persons who have met with accidents
while intoxicated and have been
brought in by the patrol wagons. Some
times, however, arrests are made for
drunkenness.
The prisoners have either been fshed
from the gutter in soggy condition, or
else have been gathered in while noisy,
boisterous or anxious to fight. When
confined IN the cell for hours and de-
MED stimulants, the reaction comes,
and the whole nervous system is I'M
strung. At most of the station houses
a jug, filled with decoctfon Of cheap
whisky and asafetida, is kept. Out
of mercy, when the appeals of the
drunk" become irresistible, he is given
a sup of this vile mixture, and the avid
ity with which he swallows the stuff is
astonishing. Often this course only de-
lays the climax. The breakdown comes,
and it is evident that the services of a
doctor are necessary. The prisoner is
seized with tremors. His hands tremble
and he shakes all over. He is oppressed
with fear, and vagaries fill his diseased
mind. Insects and rats are crawling
over him, and huge reptiles with dis
tended jaws and darting tongues are
Closing I'm on Their Prey.
His condition becomes piteous indeed.
A patrol wagon is summoned, and the
shrinking victim hurried to the hospital.
When he is led into the reception room
the doctors and attendants, who have
been notified by telephone. are already

IN waiting. In most cases such patients
are very tractable, and resign them
selves to medical attention without the
least resistance. They are usually over
come with fear, and anxious to shield
themselves from the imaginary danger.
Ii is the work OF only few seconds to
dlsrobe the sufferer from the horrors.
He is Immediately taken into the bath
room adjoining and given cold shower,
Just as frigid as he can stand it. Ex-
perlence has demonstrated that cold
bath is one of the best things in the
world to counterfeit the effects of the
alcohol.
In surgical cases. however, where there
is an injury requiring attention, it is of
course impossible to use the bath. These
victims of alcoholic excuses are not
burning up with internal fires, as many
would suppose. On the contrary, the
temperature is low, often Subnormal.
Cold Beads of Precipitation
Stand out on the forehead. The effect
OF the bath is almost invariably salu-
tary. AS he steps from the cold show
ers attendants are ready to briskly rub
him down with rough towels until his
skin smarts from the friction. 1t is
hard to describe his condition. His
nervous system is shattered. The least
sound jars his nerves like hand swept
across the strings of an untuned instru-
ment. Tie tremor of his limbs has in
creased. His eyes wander about in
dread and apprehension as if fearing
attack from the horrid creations of his
mind.
Strangely, too, he talks nationally on
every subject but that one. The mex
perienced would see nothing in his ac-
tons indicating the disease. His de-
meanor is perfectly calm and his Ian
guage quiet until suddenly the delirium
manifests itself, and he breaks forth ex-
citedly about his pursuers, or the I'M
aginary things he sees. Oftentimes,
even then, they speak calmly ana with
apparent intelligence, directing atten-
ton to the terrors conjured up by their
imaginations. Hypodermic injections
of morphia are given, but great care is
exercised, owing to the feeble condition

To the soporific influence, the patient is
allowed to sleep as long as possible.
Frequently twenty-four or thirty hours
elapse before he awakes. The longer
he sleeps the better. When he has
again aroused, the course of treatment
continues, with the object of restoring
the nerves to their normal tension.
The patient is humored in his vagaries
and allowed to revel in his illusions
without contradiction. When the state
of his nervous system has started to i'm
prove, the physician begins to build up
his stomach. That organ has been so
abused with stimulants that 1t will not

\ Fetish Man.

From "Fetishism in Congo Land"
by one of Stanlcy's pioneer officers,
printed in the Century, VIC quote as
follows:
The fetish man under any name is the
authority on all matters connected with
the relations of man to the unseen. He
Is the exorciser of spirits, tho maker OF
charms and the prescriber aud regulator
Of sn oersmoniai rites. He can discover
who 'ate the heart" of the chief who
died h.t Jo Jos.S.5.J, wnFNrvNrs who
caused the canoe to upset, and give
three lives to the crocodile and the dark
waters of the Congo, or even who
blighted the palm trees of village and
dried ny their SAP, causing the supply OF
malafu, or palm vino, to cease, or drove
away the rain from district and with
cred it, felds Of nguba ground nutsl.
All this is within the ken of the Nganga
Nkisi, and he is appealed to on all these
occasions to discover the culprit, by his
insight into the spirit world, aud hand
him or her 70 tho just chastisemcnt of an
outraged comPority. This is the only
substitute for 'eligion that the African
savage posse sscs; it's tencts arc vague and
unformulated, for with every tribe and
every district belief varies and rites and
ceremonies are as diverse as the fancics
Of the fetish men who prescribe them.

THE POSTAL SUBSIDY ACT.
Entablishing OF Steamship Lines
Between Southern Ports and

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Especial. For
some time representatives OF commercial
organizations of New Orleans, Galveston
aud st. Louis have been conferriug with
Postmaster. General Wanamaker and 9th
er postal officers with the view of estab.
fishing lines Of vessels to ply between
New Orleans and Galveston and South
and Central American ports.
Ex-Governor Yarmouth, representing
New Orleans and Galveston, has con.
Quoted the principal negotiations, and
he took advantage Of Wsnamaker's trip
South with the President 70 ur0e The.
hss rcSesved sdSioes from WAnamaker
showing that the negotiations have
reached what may be regarded as favor
able termination.
Wanamaker In the first place gave AS
surances >that the administration was
specially anxious TO aid the South in de-
vcloping commerce with South and Cen
trail America, as the uearness Of Southern
ports to the proposed new fold Of COM
inerce renders them the natural trade
centres for our Southern peighbors. He
added that If the conipsnies Of steam
crs could be established from Southern
ports to Southern aud Central America
on terms to compete with projected
steamship lines from the East, then cou-
tracts would be made with the South.
The representatives Of aputhorh CONNER
cial bodies claim that they can establish
lines with advantage over Eaatern lines,
end they are gratified With the assurances
that the South will be 0ivSh q fair show.

J "King Cotton must be surely losing
his grip on the South" exclaims the
Washington Star, "when cotton States
like Georgia embark in the culture of to-
bacco. In old times, before Cotton was
crowned King Tobacco's reign was over
"a smaller territory than at present, and it
was a sway finally detrimental tc the
whole region, for it left the lands of
Maryland and Virginia very nearly worn
out. The change may be good for
Georgia for short season. What is
wanted in the South is variety of crops
and the shifting of crops on the same
farm from field to field from year to year
30 as to prevent the soil from becoming
exhausted"

A Home For Printers.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COL, Especial -
Ground was broken here for the national
home for aged and INDECENT printers.
The home is the outcome of donation
Of $40, 900 by George VIM. Chllds and A.
J. Drexel, of Philadelphia, to the inter
national Typographical union. Subscrip-
tions from printers of the United States
have increased this fund sufficiently to
warrant the union III erecting building
at cost of $4,000 The land upon
which the home is heins built consists
of 80 acres and was donated to the print
ers by A. A. McGooney and l.. F. Mar
tin, of this city. The structure will be
40 by $50 feet, three stories high, with
a 80 foot tower on each end. Red sand
stone quarried in the mountain of this
vicinity will be used in the construction
of the home.

There are large number of words
which, until recently, have escaped the
attention of lie: cographers. In the text
of the Encycio Rdia Britannica there are
10000 words which have never been
formerly entered and defined in any die
tionary. In the Century Dictionary there
are 10000 words found in no other,
This fact shows the unrealized wealth
of the English language. 1t takes a
child several years to acquire 1000
words. The average illiterate person
never uses more than from 1000 to 1000
words. Intelligent persons, even those
engaged in the learned professions, do
not make use of more than from 5000 to
5000 words all told, although there are
properly belonging to the English Ian
guage over 225, 900. The shakespearean
standard was less than $500 words, not
counting those that are compounded and
hyphenated. However, the famous
writer or authority of to-day, whether he
uses words to express nice shades Of
meaning or as technical tools of thought
In his own department, must have at his
command vocabulary of from 80, 600 to
10000 words, the latter being the maxi
mum acquired by any man now living.
