BURNED WITH ACID.
DR.. Drummer Seriously Injured at
Quarantine.


Health Oficer w. f. Drummer was the
victim of serious and painful accident
at the quarantine station late Monday
afternoon. He had gone down to the
quarantine to inspect the disinfecting ap-
paratus. He was accompanied by his
wife and several friends.
DR.. Brunner and Dr. Graham, the quar-
antlne officer, were engaged in
some tests with the new apparatus.
DIR. Drummer took his position at
a vent, or flue, of the furnace
for conveying sulphuric acid into the
ships for the purpose of observing the
draft. He supposed that the larger por-
tion OF the charge had already exploded
but IN this he was mistaken. An I'M
usually heavy discharge occurred while
his face was close to the vent The force
OF the explosion threw him back against
the wall of the building, while his head
and face were severely burned by the
acid.
DR.. Graham at once attended to his
injuries, which he saw were serious, and
Dandaged his wounds. DR.. Drummer was
Immediately put aboard tug and brought
up to the city. He was taken to his home
on Abercorn street, and Drs. Boyd and
Aiken summoned. They found severe
burr burns o6 on tS the right side of the

the right eye being seriously inflamed.
There was danger of permanent
injury to the eye, but the prompt atten-
tion rendered is believed to have averted
it.
1t was after night when DR.. Drummer
arrived up at the city, and the news of
the accident did not become generally
known until yesterday. None of the city
officials heard of it, and the first Mayor

of him at noon as to DR.. Brunner's con-
dition. General sympathy was expressed
on all sides, with the hope that no serious
result would follow the accident. Dr.
Drummer is in good hands, and under the
treatment of Drs. Boyd and Aiken he
hopes to be on the streets again in few
days,

fering more serious injury The blast of
the acid was sufficient to have killed him.

The Delegates Listen to Some Good
Addresses From Several of Their
Members.
The night session of the congress was
called to order about O'Clock The first
thing done was to call for resolutions and
several were introduced.
Capt. Purse then introduced Hon. j.
H. Slaughter, who addressed the cenven-
ton upon the subject: Cooperation
Among Farmers"
Mr.. Slaughter said he came from the
state of Tennessee, which knew no sec
tionalism whatever. He said he was a
plain farmer, tiller of the
soil, calling of which he
was not ashamed, and of which no man
should be. The producers, he said had
shared very little in the profits of his in
dustry, all of which goes to show there is
something wrong in our social system.
The corporation and the Spectator, he
thought, were enjoying more of the prof
its of the labor of the producer than the
producer himself. This was wrong, and
something should be done to bring about
an equitable distribution of the
profits, so that the producer
could get the share ne is entitled to. This
could only be done by organized co-opera-
ton among the farmers of the country.
This was the only way in which they
could benefit themselves as a class aud it
was their duty to use every opportunity
to bring it about in greater degree.
There were millions of people in the
country, he said, engaged in agricultural
pursuits, yet there were corporations and
institutions that could exert more in
huence over legislative bodies than the
100000 of farmers.
The living of these people depends upon

But one night came with her, and

here a-talking to mothers. She told
'em how bad it was for them to be
drinking beer on account of their
nursin' babies, and then she told some
stories about feeding babies with
beer and gin and whisky, and
how the poison stuff kept their

NOTES BY THE WAY.

IT is said that there are six thousand
different kinds of intoxicating liquors.
POVERTY and drunkenness act and
react on each other; both cause igno-
rance and disease, parents of all vice
and unhappiness.
An illustration of the lengths people
will go to satisfy their craving for
drink was furnished in New Zealand,
where man tried to trade an admis-
sion order to the hospital for liquor.
A PERSON was speaking of the many
things alcohol could be used for, and
said: "Why, alcohol will clean silver
'Yes," said a gentleman standing by,
nothing is more certain; it will clean
it right out of your house and pocket,
too"
AN English surgeon distinguishes be-
tween drunkenness and inebriety in
this way; The drunkard is a person
Who drinks whenever he has an oppor,
tunity; the inebsAate is a person born
with an unsound mind the one is vi
cious, the other diseased.
DRUNKENNESS is more frequent in
cold than in warm countries, and is
more brutal and injurious in its effects
as we go north. Yet this is not always
true, for, within the last ten years,
alcoholism has greatly decreased in
Sweden, and increased in southern
France and northern Italy, In tropical
regions it is at present spreading fast,
and with great injury.
WHEN one tells you to put toads,
lizards, snakes, etc, in bottles filled
with alcohol SO as to preserve the flesh
from dissolving and keep it fresh for a
term of years, another tells YOU to put
alcohol in your stomach where good
meal of fresh meat has gone, for the
purpose of dissolving it and aiding
digestion. The man who takes alco-
hol to help digest his food must first
throw off the alcohol before his stom-
ach can commence the operation.
How painfully frequent are the an
nouncements that some bright, strong
man has gone down in darkness under
the power of strong drink! A sort of
slow suicide has been committed. Low
ing hearts are all broken because there
is not one ray of hope. The world has
been robbed of noble and strong char
acter that might else have been an un-
told blessing. How is it that young
men can be so deceived and SO engulfed?
! The experience of others should be q
warming. Touch not, taste not, is the
only safe course.-Raleigh Christian
| Advocate.
THE aptitude of children to initiate
their elders has often been illustrate
by the anecdote of the boy at the din
ner party who said: IN take what
father takes" But it was never be tier
| illustrated than in the following incl
dent. A gentleman had occasion to
take walk early one morning after a
light fall of snow. He met young
man who was the father of bright
! eight-year-old boy. Farther along he
saw the boy coming, looking intently
on the ground and acting rather
strangely Upon approaching him,
the boy looked up beamingly and
pointing to the ground said; There's
my fathers tracks," and continued on
with long strides following in his ia
theirs footsteps.

TWO KINDS OF THIRST,
The Natural Sort Differs From the Dry
ness Induced by Typhus.

ness Induced by Typhus,
Thirst is simply sensation by which
a lack of fluids in the system is made
known, and in a state of health it is
generally faithful indication of the
wants of the body. Natural thirst,
which must be distinguished from the
thirst caused by stimulating foods and
drinks or by fever, is first indicated by
a peculiar dryness of the mouth and
fauces, caused by the failure of the
pharyngeal membrane to secrete
due amount of liquids. but if auids
were to be introduced directly into the
stomach through { tube, and not by
way of the fauces-as has been done in
some unusual caseS-the immediate alb
sorption thereof instantly allays the
sense of thirst, from which it has been
supposed that the sensation of thirst is
in the nerves of the stomach and that
the throat sensation is a kind of reflex
action,
However, this theory cannot be fully
accepted, thirst being sensation
caused by the general want, which can
be Supplled through the blood vessels,
the rectum of the skin, as well as
through the stomach or throat. The
exhalations from the lungs and skin
and the kidneys and other secretaries
are effected principally at the expense
of water in the blood. which must be
restored to its normal amount or in
tense general suffering follows.
A sudden loss of blood by the lancet
or from wound. or rapid drain on
the vascular system, as in cholera or in
diabetes, also causes the intense SEN
sation of thirst, The thirst of fever, on
the other hand is not caused by the
lack of fluids in the system, but by the
dryness of the throat, mouth and skin,
caused by the unnaturally high tenn
perature of the blood.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.
