WELCOMED DEATH
Miss Baldwin Had Two Incurable
Diseases at Once.

At her residence, 1854 West Ninety.
ninth street, this city. Miss Annie
Richardson Baldwin died on Friday,
after years illness, or syringomyelia
and acromegaly,say the New York Sun.
Each disease is rare, but this combina-
ton has never been known before.
About year ago Miss Baldwin found
that her hands and feet were becoming
larger. They kept OH growing, and her
mirror and her friends told her that her
head. too, was growing. She suffered
no physical pain, but the mental pain
caused by the abnormal enlargement
was very keen. Her sisters, with whom
she resided. greatly puzzled by her
symptoms, called in DR.. M. Allen Starr,
of % West Forty-eighth street, and DIR.
Frederick Peterson, of 20 West Fifty
fourth street.
They said she had acromegaly. The
word means enlarged eXtremities."
They were astounded to discover at
the same time symptoms of syring-
Omyelia. This means disease caused
by cavities in the spinal cord. There
were several small cavities in one of
the lower segments of the cervical
portion Of the cord. These segments
are nerve .centers, and if they are IN
jured or defective the muscles con-
trOlled from the centerS become partly
paralyZed. The patient loses entirely
the sensation of pain and temperature,
though the sense of touch is rot affected.
That is, the patient becomes aware if
the affected part be touched, but SuS-
tainS no pain if it be burned or cut. In
Miss Baldwin'S case her hands were
first paralyZed. The cavities grew
larger and multiplied. Cavities in seq
ments controlling the cardiac and
respiratory nerves finally became so
large as to paralyZe the action of the
heart ana lungs. and death ensued. 1t
was welcome to the patient, whose life
had been made miserable. Her ears,
lips, nose, chin and hands and feets had
become of unusual size, and she was
gradually more and more helpless.
Physicians and surgeons generally
watched with peculiar interest the
progress Of the patient, since no one
had ever succeeded in combating sue
cesSfully the progress of either disease.
Many medicines were tried without ap-
preciable relief to the patient. Eec-
tricity was used without avail. Physi-
clans says that, although each ailment
has been already described number of
times, no one knows of remedy for
either. DR.. Peterson said yesterday:
"Acromegaly is caused by disease
of the pituitary body at the base of the
brain which affects the head, hands and
feet in such manner as to make them
grow to gigantic size. while the body
itself retains its normal condition.

movements is one of those acts that q
nation like France does not forget. but

CANTY'S SUCCESSOR.
Frank c.. Brooks the Choice OF
Minneapolis Democrats.

Very little is heard in Minneapolis as
to the appointment OF successor to
Judge Canty when that gentleman re-
linquishes his seat on the district court
bench to occupy one in the supreme
court. Among the Democrats who feel
that their party is entitled to the plum
there is very little, if any, difference of
opinion as to the proper man for the
place, and that man is Frank c. Brooks.
At the same time, there is feeling that
Gov. Nelson is not going to respect their
wishes. and that he will probably ap-
point Republican. Others think that
while he may select Democrat he will
make his own choice, as he did in the
case of Judge Russell. The injustice of
this. in either case, is apparent. Demo
Gratis think, and justly, TOO, that if
one of their faith is to be ap-
pointed they should be consulted as to
the choice, providing, of course. that
they Selectssa suitable man. There can
be no question that Mr.. Brooks is the
choice of the Minneapolis Democrats
for this position, nor is there any ques-
ton as to the fitness of MI. Brooks for
the place.
Should Gov. Nelson see fit to appoint
a Republican, Hennepin county next
year will be the scene of a straight-Out
party fight OH the judicial election,
which will probably be continued for
years to come.

ssyers at Metz - The Situation
- fStrained.
n21l2t
NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The Herald's
Parls correspondent cables regarding
the European situation as follows:
something is taking place in Europe,
but It is impossible to say what it is,
because as yet only the outward signs
are visible. To know exactly what is
going on it would be necessary to know
Inc thoughts OF the three personages
VINO are the masters of the European
situation. These three personages are
the car. the kaiser and the king of
Italy. What is visible, in the first place,
Is the speech, marked with displeasure
ana Dad temper, delivered by the car
on the occasion of the Inauguration of
the port of Libau, in which Alexander
ii. declared that the Baltic ought to be
in spite of all opposition, Russian
lake. The second sign of the times is
the holding OF the German army ma
neuyers on
THE FRENCH FRONTIERS
and the entrance of William Ill. into
Metz on the anniversary of the capitu-
lation OF Sedan, accompanied by the
crown prince of Italy. Thirdly, we
have the significant fact that the Ital-
ian military manouvers are also to be
held On the Italian side of the French
frontier. and that the hatred of Italians
against the French is constantly on the
increase. Besides all these outward
and visible signs, we have the fact that
England is again protesting, and more
loudly than ever, against TIE policy of
France IN Siam, and now seems inclined
to refuse what she was only short
time ago ready to accept. A diplomatist
SAID to ME only yesterday:
sit looks as if Europe were holding a
dress rehearsal in order to find out
what she would be able to do against
france in the event of war;"
SITUATION STRAINED.
This sums up in few words what Is
now present II the thoughts of every
body. The part played by Italy caused
"hNiStJ tEO lOl-
lowing the Aigues- Mortes troubles. I'm
mediately afterward the Italian gov
: eminent asked for the advice of Ger
many, Austria and England, all Of
which governments advised moderation
and calmness. 1t, however. seems in
credible to everybody that such petty
riot, without any real Importance and
occurring at such an Insignificant place,
should have been made use of to bring
on a war. Personally King Humbert is
very hostile to FIR ance, and it is in &C
cordance with his wish and in spite of
the advice of ministers that an Italian
crown prince goes to Metz to witness
the German army maneuvers, a fact
which is causing no little vexatlon in
France. For my part. do not believe
that war will break out in the near
future, but L cannot but admit that the
events of the last few weeks have
diminished the chances Of peace.

RAISING THE WATER.
Preliminary Work for the Dam
at Meeker Island.


at Meeker Island.
The location of the proposed dam to
render the Mississippi river navigable
to the falls of st. Anthony has been
fixed at distance of 1850 feet below
the Franklin ayenae bridge. where it
will cross the river nearly, but not
quite, at right angle. The lock will
lie half in the stream and half in the
bank. The walls are to be thirty feet In
thickness of solid masonry, and will
rest OH and be anchored to the
solid sandstone which has been
found to underlie both banks and
bed of the stream. There will be
three gates, and the interior of the
lock will be eighty feet in the clear in
width, the whole being $50 feet In the
clear. Alongside of the lock, on the
Inner side, is TO be log chute of suit
able size to provide for the whole ca
pacity of the river logs, so as to never
interfere with that interest. The dam
starts near the lower end of the lock,
and the crest line is $50 feet below
Meeker island and crosses the river in
distance of 600 feet. The plan of the
dam will call for 4 width of over 100
feet, designed 10 be built of solid ma
anchored in the solid sandstone under
meath.
The SubStratum excavations are now
about completed. They consisted of
clearing down to the SOLID rock on the
banks, and of boring down into the
rock under the whole bed of the stream
where the lock and dam are to rest.
All OF the boringS have been made ten
TO fifteen feet into the rock, and not
rift was found in it anywhere. There
were seventeen of the bOrings up to The
point of reaching the western bank of
the river.
The height of the dam and the conse-
quent tlowage. the line of levels for
which has been commenced, is yet to
be determined. The estimate is that
somewhere ABOUT sixteen feet will suf-
ice to raise the water sufficiently to
reach the Washington avenue bridge,
and give five feet of water additional to
the present average stage, and give five
feet at the Belt Line bridge.
Inc feasibility, as to expense. IS eX-
pected 10 be assured beyond all ques-
ton by the present work. The esti-
mates of Maj. Allen, submitted to con-
gresS when the subject was first brought
into that body, were that 1t would cost
S2,340.000. This was for two locks and
dams then thought necessary, and with
out any extended examination of the
substratum. Next the present chief of
engineers, Maj. Mackenzie, made the
estimate Sl,5S0.GO0, with the statement
that it might be very much less, which,
from the results reached by the work
thus far prosecuted, is very likely to be
the case.

May Goto a Grand jury.

Speaking of the letter which County
Assessor Plummer had addressed to
County Auditor Cooley, in which it was
charged that a number of taxpayers
of money which they had on hand,
County Attorney Nye said last night
that he had not yet seen the letter. He
added, however. that if the facts in the
cases bore out MIR. Plummer's state
ments, the cases would have to be treat
ed as any other cases of perjury would
be. This is understood to mean that the
attention of the grand jury may be
called to the matter.

THE LABOR PROBLEM.
How 1t Is Regarded by Rev. G.

Rev. g. L. Morrill, spoke yesterday
morning at Calvary Baptist church OH
christianity and Labor" He eulo-
gized labor, saying that it is necessary
to human happiness. He said that the
honorable acquisition of wealth was
credtable, and that Christianity created
wealth. and that the relations between
capital and labor would be less strained
if the rich knew how poorly their serv-
ants lived and the poor knew how hard
the rich labOred.
He ascribed most of the ills of the
workingmen to drink: to leaving the
peaceful and pleasant pursuits of coun-
try life for the aIlurements. temptations,
crime and disgrace of the cities, and to
a neglect of the principles of Chris
tlanity,
