eRowN-sE GUARD DEAD.
Demise of the Eminent Physician at

~ farls. .a'' .G
PARIS, April 4.-Prof. Brown-Se-
guard, the eminent physician and
Psychologist, the supposed inventor of
the elixir of life, died here at o a. m.
Prof. Brown. Sequard was born in the
island of Mauritius in 1918. His father
was American His life was devoted
almost exclusively to an extended series of
experimental investigations on impor-
tant physiological topics, such as the
condi tions and functions of the blood, the
brain and the muscular. and nervous system.
He had visited the United States many times
delivering lectures and instructing private
classes OF physicians in his discoveries.
The present generation knew Brown Sequa
best by reason of his assertion, made q
few years ago, that he had discovered a
means of prolonging human life for be-
yond the usual term His method con-
sisted in injecting into the blood lymph
made by macerating certain glands from
the male sheep and extracting thence sub
stance of high vitalizng power This material
Brown Sequard claimed had the effect OF re
juvenating the human system to q great degree,
and possessed the power Of averting almost in
definitely the processes by which the system is
carried TO decay and death u s5f
Brown-Sequard made many experiments
with his lymph before giving publicity TO his
discovery. In every instance he claimed to
have found most encouraging results. Patients
who had been given over to death by some OF
the ablest physicians OF the age were restored
to health and strength by this wonderful prep
aration which came TO be known as Brown
Sequard's elixir of life ~ a ssss ar5v - a..
For year or two the matter was the wonder
and the comment OF the scientific world.
Fierce controversies were waged over the
subject. Some physicians denounced Brown
Sequard as q charlatan, while others.
equally able, praised him as a tenefac-
tor of the human race. The possibility
of prolonging human life indefinitely
was debated long and vigorously, but at last
the excitement died away. 1T was discovered
that while the lymph would be beneficial In
some cases 1t was injurious in others, and its
value as means OF lengthening human life
was conceded to be little ] u VI IA a lA ~

RepubIicans Surprised,

AKRON, April 4.-The election here
was big surprise. The democrats
claimed that they would elect most of
their ticket, while the republicans
were not quite so confident. The lat
ter carried the city by big majority
and made the most of their victory by
various celebrations. Every populist
candidate made wonderful run and
gained heavily in nearly all precincts.
In the largest democratic ward popu-
list defeated democrat by over 100
votes. Much surprise was manifested

COLUMBIA, s. c., April 4.-The New
berry rifles, which have been guarding
the state house and acting as censors
of all dispatches at the telegraph of
fees, notified Gov. Tillman on Mon
day that they had resigned and
that their arms were at his dis
posal. They stated in their letters
that they came here under the be-
lief that they were needed for the
purpose of protecting life and prop
erty and not for the purpose or exer
cising a SCRUTINY over the private af-
fairs of the citizens of South Carolina,
duty not only distasteful, but in The
judgment of the company unnecessary
and calculated to irritate the people
all the more under the present state
of affairs, and that they did not
care to be subjected to such or
ders in the future. Gov. 1illman ac-
cordingly notified the company to turn
over their arms to the state and has
placed other soldiers in charge of the
Office. Gov Tillman severely denounces
the Newberry rifles in letter to their
captain, saying that their action is mu-
tiny pure and simple. y He refuses to ac-
cept the designations Of the company but
dismisses them from the service of the
state as unworthy to wear its uniform,
expressing at the same time the hope
that he may never be bothered with
any more such handbook and holiday
soldiers"
Throughout the day the governor has
had offers of services from several out
side military companies, all of which
he has declined. The telegraph CEN
sorship has not been discontinued, but
the governor himself passes upon all tel
egrams, rejecting some and changing
others

FRENCH population returns for 1899
show for the three years an excess Of
deaths over births, the former amount
ing to $4,000 and the latter to $685.
With the exception of 1880 the number
of births is lower, while the mortality
is higher than in any year since 1880,
Marriages, however are more plentiful
than in the previous II years. The re-
port predicts that the effects of the
war of 1901 will now cease to oper-
ate. During the war there were 600, 900
abnormal deaths and 100, 900 fewer
births than might otherwise have been
expected, but in 1879 there was an ia-
crease of 10000.

BERLIN, April 3.-The women's move
ment in Germany is making great
progress. The congress called by the
women delegates to the worlds fair at
Chicago met here last week. 1t is the
intention of the women to form union
and humane society in Germany in
order that the work of the So
cieties may be conducted upon a
broader plan. A thorough exchange of
views between the different societies is
proposed, and it seems likely that the
movement will have decided by bene-
fetal effect upon the female mind in
Germany. In order to avoid politics,
the women confined their discussions
to questions interesting to women, but
the delegates decided to exclude social
democrats from their meetings.
