Physicians Illustrate the origin and
Treatment of Anthrax to New Castle
Owners.
Two hundred New Castle county
farmers gathered at Newport yesterday
afternoon 20 consider measures for
stamping ont an outbreak of anthrax. q
fatal contagious disease among the cattle
of this vicinity The meeting was
presided over by Dr. J j. Black, OF New
Castle
It was reported that % cows and three
horses had died of the disease within q
radius of two miles col this place during
this month De- Leonard Pearson. Of
the University of Pennsylvania. and DR.
IT. p Ewes. of Wilmington, professor of
veterinary surgery at Delaware college.
1al .lldr sos in which they dealt with
The origin. nature and treatment of the
disease
DR. Pearson explained that the early
symptoms of the disease were similar TO
sunsiroke. almost always fatal in its re-
suits and that the hacilii of the disease
propagate with extraordinary rapidity
and are extremely hard TO destroy, the
only sure way 90 get rid of them being by
FIRE
DR. Ewes. who has made postmortems
of several anthrax carcasses, agreed with
Dr. Pearson as 10 symptoms. and said
there was no remedy he could recon-
mend except the isolation of the animals
affected by the disease gnd the destruc-
ton of the carcasses by fire or deep
burial. the grave to be not less than five
feet below the level of the ground He
called particular attention TO the ex-
treme danger of leaving the dead cattle
lying around the farm. Flies could carry
the deadly disease TO the human family.
Professor A. r. Veal. OF the Delaware
college experimental station at Newark.
volunteered the service OF the station
for the disposal of the carcasses.

secure needed legislation for the exter-
mination of affected cattle and the re-
muneratiOn of their owners.

father to New York in 1889. In 1916
he vent to Europe, and spent four
years in travel and study, being stu
dent in Berlin during the revolution
of lS4S. Returning home in 1850 he
published Nile Notes Of Hoa0adja,
and this was soon followed by the
Hoaoad5i in Syria. His literary work
has been principally devoted to the N.
Y. Tribune, Pastnans's Monthly, and
since 1853 he has written the Easy
Chair in Harper's Magazine. and has
been the political editor of Harper's
Weekly. As writer he is elegant In
diction, clear and incisive in express
sion, and his works will always occupy
a prominent place in American litera-
ture. In 1884 he was the leader of
the mugwump revolt, and the hatred
which he incurred by reason of this
action will follow him to the grave
and attempt TO blacken his memory
for all time. We believe that in this
act of his life he was honest and brave,
and politics would be purer if there
were more such men who would op-
pose partisan prejudices in defense of
what they considered patriotism and
right. The nation will drop tears OF
regret over his grave, even if narrow
minded par.isans execrate his memory.

out emitting any bills which would
not be worth their face In gold. He
knew very well that the moment bills
not convertibll into :oin at the option
of the holder were made legal tender
for all debts, duties excepted, gold and
silver would go to premium and
cease, practically, to be money; and
that all United States notes redeem
able in gold at the option of the holder,
or that drew interest, whether simple
or compound, would instantly cease to
be money, to all intents and purposes.
He postponed what he regarded as the
evil day as long as he could.
"The great secretary was not mis-
taken as to the effect of making ire
deemable and non-interest- bearing
notes legal tenders, but, fortunately,
he was mistaken as To the good or ill
effect of issuing such bills. Viewed in
the light of history anybody can now
see that new departure of a perma-
nent character and incaloulable benefi-
cence was taken. 1t was a clear case
of building better than he knew. Sec
retary Chase had no idea that the
greenback would become a constant
quality in the monetary system of the
country, surviving resumption, and
proving the best medium of ex-
change the world ever knew. He
thought they would have to be paid of
the same as the 7-30s and other notes
of the United States. 1t is no dis
credit to a statesman that he is not
blessed with the gift of prophecy; but
to insist, at this late day, in the face
of the plain facts to the contrary, that
either gold demrnd or interest. bearing
notes were a part of the actual cur
rency in 1866, or any time during the
period of specie suspension, is as un-
fair as it would be to class gold and
silver, during the same period, as cur
rency.
"As matter of fact, the volume of
money in circulation in 1865 was
STA 1896, and the amount in the
country, including reserves of all
kinds, was only $77O,l29,755, or
$2057 per capita. as against $23.45
per capita in 1891"

Brutality Tortured by Robbers.

SEATTLE. Aug 31.-John Helzel, an
lnoffensIve old German, who lives on
Vashon Island, was beaten and tortured
by masked robbers last night. He
bravely refused to surrender his little
hoard of hard earned wealth, and while
the ruffians were searching for the booty,
he managed to crawl away and hide in
the bushes. He recognized Cemb!no

bett. About four mouths ago, the d
German was beguiled into marrying a
dissolute woman named Emily Hoskins.
who lived in this city. She made several
attempts to poison him and made the old
mans lite so mIsera Die in other respects
that he willingly listened to her PROPOSE
ton to get divorce after 10 weeks of
married life. The woman was given 40
acres of the 100 acres of fine land which
the old man owns on Vashon island. She
came to this city and took lodgings 10
the Slmonelli hou:e., Her purpose in
marrying Helzel is believed to have been
merely to get possession of part of his
fortune.

King Death Reigns.

HAMBURG, Aug. 81 There Is no ques
tlonlng the fact that the present cholera
epidemic is the wost that has ever visited
this city, and every hour the situation
becomes worse. People are dying off
like sheep and the plague is spreading
1t was thought early yesterday that the
epidemic was abating In violence. The
number of new cases and deaths reported
for Monday were far below those for the
day preceding. Unfortunately these
hopes were not we'll founded. 1t was
only a temporary halt In the onward
march of the plague. 1t is now marching
forward, moving down its victims by
the score. A representative of the Asso-
ciated Press has seen in the military drill
shed the b dies of 400 victims awaiting
burial. Owing to red tape, it is imposs-
lble to bury all the dead under the usual
regulations, for the law requires produc-
tion of papers of Identification before the
body is consigned to the grave. Under
ordinary circumstances these papers are
easily procurable, but now, when whole
families have been carried off by the
scourge, the greatest difficulty is expert
enced in getting these papers. Unless
tue frigbtful mortality abates, 1t will be
necessary to shortly set aside the law and
to bury the victims as hastily as possible.
Already it is believed that the infection
has been spread by the dead.
