A ROACH IN HIS HEAD.
It Crawled Into the Mans Ear, Ate Its Wa,
Through the Drum and Raised Family.

1t Crawled Into the Mans Ear, Ate It's Way
Through the Drum and Raised a Family.
A man with a nest of cockroaches in
his head presented himself at the Emer-
gency hospital in Washington recently.
Stories have often been told Of snakes
and frogs in human stomachs. An in
stance in regard to the habits of animals
which is even more peculiar came to
light about a week ago. Cases have often
been noticed where bugs have entered
the ear and caused excruciating pain by
eating the delicate membranes and tbs.
sues of the inner ear before they could
be driven out. But this is the first case
where a roach was permitted to remain
in the ear long enough to lay its eggs
and hatch its young.
George Woods, who was the patient,
a young man of about 20, is employed
on an oyster boat. Like many other
boats, this one was infested with big
black coclroaches. One night while
Woods was asleep roach crept into his
ear and lodged itself just far enough in
side to be out of reach. Woods felt it
there next morning, but being unable to
poke it out with his finger he permitted
it to remain, thinking her roachship
would tire of her quarters and move out.
But the roach, either because it got in
head first and could not turn around
and get out, or because it found the ac-
commodations exceedingly comfortable,
instead of getting out proceeded to make
its nest right there in the mans ear.
Finally it started to tunnel through the
head. AS it afterward was shown ON in
vestigatiOn, the roach had eaten its way
through the channel to the tympanum
and through the drum itself. Here, it
seems, it gave up Investigations and
from some cause or other died. When
Wood found that he was deaf in the
right ear, he thought he had better have
the matter looked into, SO he took ad-
vantage Of his boat being in Washing
ton to visit the hospital. When DR..
Johnson washed out the ear, in addition
to the body of the defunct roach num-
Der of little reaches and some eggs which
had failed to hatch were removed

New York, March 24.-Herr Most,
the apostle of discomfort, the high
priest of anarchy and the prophet of
disorder, is down cast. His sleeve of
care is strongly knit and clouds of trou-
bic furrow UP his brow.
In a four-column editorial in this
weeks issue of Freihit, Editor Most
sums up the anarchist situation in
glowing fashion and winds up by adj
vising his followers to turn their
backs upon this accused country, to
continue your labors in Europe, even
If you have to travel over the ocean
lin cattle ships, or in coal bunkers."
Herr Most adds, with distressing sad
ness, that he would have returned to
Europe long ago. if he only knew
where to. go and not be put back he
hind prison bars
The cause of the distinguished an
Iarchists discomfort is stated in six
paragraphs, which form the text heads
for the article. He says that his
friends seek to raise too much money,
which they would spread over too
much ground.
Within the last ten days twenty
propositions to raise money have been
made says the editorial. First was
an appeal for the support of the locked
out Pittsburg miners. Then an appeal
for 500, for organization purposes in
Newark. Then money to bring Now
bray, the great English agitatOr, 10
America to preach the cause in En-
glish. Then to get up an International
conference of anarchists at Paterson.
Then to help the cause of Nos. 2 and 5.
Then to secure a new trial for Berg
man, who only failed becoming an an
archist martyr because his aim was
! bad when he shot Superintendent
Prick, of the Carnegie works in Pitts
burg. Then for publishing English
pamphlets and papers for distribution
/ in America and for publishing English
! translations of Nos 2 to of Freiheit."
| This is the closing paragraph of the
editorial:
''The whole labor movement of this
country is still wearing the bib of in
fancy and the influence welded over
lit by the tutors and head masters is so
enormous that a fellow like us is simply
J thrown into the cold shiVers when he
lcontemplates the muddle"
In an interview in Williams street
saloon, Editor Most said: Our people
mistake their ability to raise money.
| We can not do so much. They would
raise 81 600 in single week. They can
not They are poor They are hard up.
THE cause of anarchy does not adj
vance rapidly in America, because the
country is young and it is large. Anar-
lchy is but the left wing of the great
labor movement, but labor has not yet
recognized it, 1t will not progress fast

hold.

within reach of the effects of their
poisonous breath. An Indian in Ari-

himself safe until in his own wigwam.

PEIxOTO's ACTION.
His Right Is Seriously Questioned
by the Times.


London, March 24-The Times this
morning has an editorial on the subject
of the action of President Pelxoto, of
Brazil, reviving the imperial DEGREES
of 1898 and 1851. by the terms Of which
the government is authorized to exc
trial all persons, whether natives or.
directly have aided or abetted d re-
volt.
The Times strongly protests against
the revival Of these musty DEGREES, and
says that they might be applied 10 quite
innocent British subjects.
PeiXOtO's record, it adds, Is not clear
enough to justify such action. The
paper further says that the claim Of
President PeiXOto upon Portugal for the
surrender Of Admiral Da Cana and the
other fugitive insurgent officers, is also
not undisputed. 1t is inconsistent alike
with humanity and expediency to prose-
cute a terrorist policy before the revO-
luton in the southern provinces is sup
pressed.
The Times thinks that President Pc
iXoto should have seen the Importance
of building a golden bridge for the re-
treating enemy
The paper concludes by saying it is
desirable in the interests of all the coun-
tries having dealings with Brazil that
the state of insecurity and excitement
that has existed since the downfall of
the empire should cease. It sees no
promise of improvement in the preju-
dice of military autocracy with meas
ures of vengeance against it's defeated
