gree, and they were both placed under

vinced that Max Noack and Ora Min

repute, were killed by third person,

purpose of robbery.
The cOrOner's jury continued its In.
vestigation today and the most sensa-
tional testimony was that given by
Detective Brott, whose evidence point
ed to most cold-blooded and brutal
double murder. On top of the parti-

tragedy occurred from the next he
found the imprints of a mans hand
and the dust of the ceiling had been
brushed off. as If by some one who had
escaped from the room in this manner

would have been easy for the murderer
to have escaped down the back stair

PROCEEDINGS OF THE DAY.
The Convention Is Marked by the Entire
Harmony That Prcvnilcd.


Harrisburg. Pa. Aug. 2S.-The most
| bitter fight that has ever been expert
enced In the ranks of Pennsylvania Re-
| publicanism Is at an end. and Senator
| Quay Is victorious. The Beaver states
man swept everything before him. and
magnanimously consented In the inter-
| est Of party harmony, to the nomlna-
ton of. the six Republican Superior
| court judges, as the administration
forces had desired. The convention.
which lasted a scant three hours. no re-
cess being taken, was marvelously har-
monlous Judging by the way the Quay
| and Hastings forces hobnobbed within
half hour after the convention had
| been called to order, the respective
| chiefs setting the example by consult

dent that the party had been rent in
| twain during the past two months and
up to the very day of the convention
by factionalism that was unprecedent-
ed for Its bitterness.
The success of Senator Quay Is re-
garded as a mastery political achieve
ment; he has secured control of the
party organization In the Keystone
state, has had himself elected state
chairman to succeed an active political
opponent, the latter placing the sena-
tor In nomination, and literally was the
power at the convention. The fight be-
| tween the factions and the unlocked for
| harmonious ending at the state con-
vention, will be given a prominent
| place in the political history Of Penn
| sylvania.
In addition to electing Senator Quay
as state chairman, Benjamin j. Hay
wood, of Mercer county, who was prac-
tically unopposed. was nominated for
| state treasurer. and the six Republi-
cans whom Governor Hastings appoint
ed as superior court judges on June q
| last were placed on the ticket. The
latter nominees are: Ex-Governor

Howard J. Reeder. Northampton; John

variable time before the swelling in the
joints.
A large number of joints are usually
affected, and there are from the trst pro-
found debility. rapid heart. profuse per-
spiration and wasting. The sym ptoms
vary according to the severity and dura-
tion of the malady. During the inf1am-
matory stage. which commonly extends
over several years, there is always SWELL
ing. In the acute condition there are
synovial effusions, heat and extreme pain
and tenderness. Mobility rapidly dimln-
ishes, and stiffness may appear very early
in the case.
The most usual method of cure, or of
attem pied cure, is by means of mineral
baths. These invariably afford relief, but
IN many instances they fail to effect a
permanent cure. Proper dieting is of
great assistance. Ii has been suggested
that abstinence from meat will result
benefcially. Rheumatic rings" are
worn, but there is no evidence that they
have helped toward a cure. When the
Joints become quite immovable il is the
practice to put the patient under the in
fuence OF an anaesthetic and then to
break the parts asunder. This, of course,
affords no permanent relief, as the disease
has destroyed the essence OF the joint
the oil which allows the bcne to move
freely in the socket. Another remedy,
that of supplying an art, fcial oil by in
lection, has been tried, and the expert
ments are said to have been very satisfac-
tory. This certainly seems to be a
logical method. Physicians usually pre-
scribe various drugs, which are more or
less efficacious. 1t is advisable for the
patient to avoid cold, damp and exposed
places.

will also be observed that the wrist is
badly swollen.
On the right of the same picture is the
right hand of a woman 49 years OF age,
three years after the attack OF arthritis;;
The wrist is much affected and the hand
perfectly immovable in the position in
which You see it.
In figure NJ. 2 there is represented
what the doctors call terminal phalanges,
but which here, for the sake of clearness,
Will be called finger tips. The first two
sets illustrate the progress of the disease
in a woman between the ages of 55 and
SO. At the bottom there are shown two
fingers of a woman 65 years .old. 1t will
be noticed that the extreme segment of
one finger turns abruptly to the right.
while in another pair OF fingers in this
figure the extreme segments turn in the
other direction. There is apparently no
way to govern the .ramitications of the
segments after the joints have become
affected by the disease.
In figure No. a there are shown two fin
gers on the hand of a woman GU years of
age, who was suffering from gout. On
the right are two fingers OF another wo-
man about go years OF age showing
sort of double swelling OF the part just
above the, finger nail. This is common
in rheumatold arthritis.
One Of the striking features OF this dis
ease is that it often attacks victim with
oct apparent cause. Young and old,
weak and strong, are all subject to Its
ravages, and, more remarkable still. 1T
does not seem. to be hereditary. Pbysi-
clans who have made the subject spe-
cIalty have found that women are espe-
cially susceptible to it,. Out OF 20 cases
that came to the attention OF o1s physi-
clan Is were men and AZ women. In 80
of these there was family history" of
diseases of the joints-nameiy, gout .,
rheuma told arthritis 6,rheumatIc fever 5,
and rheumatism 13.
1t has been suggested that. the reason
the disease attacks women especially is
that the female constitution is naturally
more delicate and nervous. two conditions
which make it unusually vulnerable to
gouty affections. 1t is significant that
the ages when women appear to suffer
most from the rheumatic aiiiiction are
from IA to Is, and from As to 80. 1t is
impossible to give any one particular
cause for the disease. Each case ihas it's
own cause. The symptoms are usually
intense pain and a hardening and swell
ing and distortion of the joints and seq
ments.
Among the indications that the disease
is approaching are these: Peculiar want
of animal heat and sense of chllliness
(this was noted as continuing in one case
for three years before the JOINTS became
affected. after which there was natural
warmth); langnid circulation and cold
extremities. pains under the balls of the
toes and pain at the root of the thumb;
toUthache-like pains in various Joints
worse at night; numbness and aching in
the fingers; heat and pain in the soleS
of the feet "a frequent observatory; fly
ing pains, langdof and sense of fatigue;
sweating and restlessness; stiffness in
the calves of the legs. accompanied by
dark blotches on the thighs. These are
:he symptoms recorded as existing for
