Louis Pasteur.
Death nTthe Most Eminent and Useful
Scientist of our day.

Louis Fasteur. the eminent biologist who
died Saturday, Sept. =, OF paralysis at his
residence at Garches, near St. Cloud at
the age OF %, was unquestionabiy the most
famous scientist of our generation. and
though not physician himself, did more
for medicine than any one man. His pop
ular fame OF course rests chiefly on his Gel
ebrated cure for hydrophobia but this was
only one OF long series of brilliant discov-
cries based on the revolutionary germ the
DRY of disease, which he had q principal
share in developing, and which has com
pletely altered medical theory and practice
within a relatively short time. II was a
discovery comparable in importance with
the theory OF evolution. and its results are
too far reaching to be as vet more than
dimly apprehended. 1t at first met with
bitter opposition, but as he went on from
one brilliant demonstration TO another. in
many fields seemingly widely diverse, fur
ther doubt was impossible and his success
was speedy and triumphant. No French
scientist ever received so many honOrs as
were showered upon him in his later wears.
His books were given prizes. a muniticent
pension was awarded him. medals and dec
orations were given him by nearly every
government in Europe, and TO continue
and expand his work the Pasteur institute
was founded, where the most famous biol
ogists have been glad 10 work together in
loyal discipleship. Here was worked out
the anti-toXine cure for diphtheria. which
is only one OF the many practical applica-
tions Of the great theory on which Pasteur's
life work was based. All his discoveries
bore directly on the welfare of the race.
and il is not unlikely that his work will
save more lives than Napoleon destroyed
Pasteur was born in 1872 in the depart
ment of Jura. and was educated al the col
lege of Besancon and the Ecole Normale
and was professor at Dion, Strasburg
and Lille before he was called TO Paris
where every eminent Frenchman completes
his career.

Fraud on the part Of the Life Insur.
Rnce Company


Judge George W. Wheeler rendered an
important decision at New Haven, Conn,
Monday in the case of DR.. A. E. Fuller and
wife against the Metropolitan Lie Insur-
ance company. The policy holders had ac-
cepted certain sums from the company and
hadbeen given receipts by the Metropolitan
people. The claim of the defendants was
that the plan used was not the stewart
plan, and also that the receipts for pay
ments signed by the plaintiffs debarred
them from bringing suit against the com
pany on the charges named. BY the find
ing OF the court, the Stewart plan was
used, and the plaintiffs are not debarred by
signing receipts Judge Wheeler finds
that the receipts were obtained by fraud of
the company, who represented that one
