The Peculiar Case OF y Spaniard Who Is
Slowly Becoming Petrifed.
Great interest was excited recently in
Ybor City, a suburb of Tampa, Fla, by
the discovery of case Of osseous paralysis.
For awhile there was the greatest excite
ment among the 400 or 500 people who had
gathered about the house where tho patient
was lying. Ho Is Spaniard named Fer
mia Machado.
Drs Petty and Lawrence were called to
SEQ him, and they report that Macha-
dos feet and legs nearly up to the
knees are entirely destitute Of life and alb
solutoly insensible to feeling. The tissues
have shrunken away until the limbs are
entirely dosiccated and hard as bone. The
line Of denarcation between tho healthy
tissues and the ''petrifled" portion is clear
and distinct, with a slope In the size Of
the leg of about q half inch. the skin on
this surface being affected by what resem-
bles letter or ringworm. A blow upon
the shins or the feet Is not felt but makes
a sound as II solid bone or stone had been
struck.
Similar cases are reported In the surgical
journals. The unfortunate man is in such
a situation financially that he docs not de-
cline proffered assistance, and quite num-
Der Of contributions have been made for
his benefit. DR.. Lawrence says that this
disease is known as dry modification,
and that its growth may possibly be check
ed by scientific treatment In some hospital
for special diseases. Machado Is anxious
to get to such hospital, but has not the
means Ho says that he would submit to
amputation Of tho limbs or anything in or
der to escape the horrors of death by inch
e. His general health so far is good, but
he has developed an abnormal thirst, which
can be satiated only by drinking enormous
quantities Of ioe water every day.-Atlanta

Music as q Vocation.

sic" said Herman Berghold Of Pittsburg.
lit Is as easy for young man to become
equipped with a technical knowledge Of
music such as will nt him to teach 1t to
others, as 1t Is for him to master the mys-
teries of law or medicine, and the remu.
neration from the first will largely surpass
that from either OF the others on the gen.
oral average. It Is a mistaken idea to
think that good musician must be an
excellent performer on the piano or violin.
Some of the best teachers In the world are
woefully deficient in the mechanical exc
cution Of music. But they are versed In
the science Of the divine art and under
stand how to convey its intricate beauties
to others who already possess the muscular
nature and the sentiment necessary to an
accomplished performer. A well trained,
we'll educated teacher of music is always
sure of comfortable income no matter
where he may establish himself, and the
advance Of higher education among the
masses which is now becoming so general
will make the profession in future an even
moro lucrative one for young men to
choose as the field for their life work. -

hut the Bill has Become Law.


The bill for the relief of the taxpayers,
vetoed by the governor and passed over
the veto by the house on Friday, may
becume law. But in the name of COM
mon sense, honesty and fairness we are
at loss to understand why this should
be so. We have published in another
column, the full text of the veto in order
that our readers, who may not be in
formed on the matter, may understand
just what condition of affairs the pas
sage of this bill would bring about. 1t
means ruination to many of the counties
of the territory and its ill effects will be
felt by all. Take for instance the con-
dition in Grant county, which will make
very good average showing. Here we
have bonded indebtedness of $21s, 1000,
and floating Indebtedness of about
$4,000. The interest on our bonds has
not been paid for eighteen months, and
our county officials have been compelled
to 60 without their salaries for long
time. In addition to this, there are hun
dreds of current expense bills unpaid be-
cause of lack of funds. We are depend
ent upon our tax collections to meet all
these obligations and to extend further
time in their collection can only result in
their rendering the condition still more
serious. The business men and tax-pay
ers of Grant county do not want this
extension made, and rely on the intel
ligence of the council to promptly crush
the measure when it again comes before
it.-Silver City Sentinel.

In view of the fact that the Ell Paso

PRESS COMMENTS.

In About the same Fix as santa Fe.
During the past few days there has
been considerable talk of closing the
Eddy schools for lack of cash to pay the
teachers salaries, and other expenses, on
account of the looting of the treasury.
The school funds are protected by ample
bonds, and it would seem that enough
patriotism should exist among our citi-
zens, who have the means at hand, to at
least loan the district sufficient money to
continue the schools. To turn horde of
little children loose on our streets at this
season, while the health of the community
is in such perfect state, would be almost
criminal. Better raise the funds to pay
the teachers by popular subscription.
Then when the people go down into their
pockets for cash they will become prac-
tically aware of the big steal that has
been perpetrated upon them.-Eddy

MISUNDERSTANDING the frank admission
of the Las Cruces Independent Democrat
that it has no love for the present ad-
ministration, either national or terri
toral, the NEW MEXICAN is pleased that
there is yet some common ground upon
which it and the other snappy journal
can meet. That paper fairly voices
public sentiment when it says: "The
capital should be rebuilt at Santa
Fe and nowhere else. All propositions
looking to the removal of the capital to
any other town should be thrown into
the legislatures waste basket"

talks of stalking his doll rags home and

himself to be quite too thin skinned to

A good Democrat should always be a

the other fellow has knocked him out to

Fine Cat-bOaf.

One of the finest cat-boats ever
seen here was launched last Friday
at the Hawaiian boat house. Mr..
Balls, the boat builder, spent two
months constructing the boat and
has given her the name of Water
Lily. She is sixteen feet long,
seven feet wide and two feet deep.
Her center-board is hung on pivot
and works almost like wheel, diff
fering slightly from the ordinary
run of center-boards. The bow
spirit is fat and the halyards lead
out to the end, serving as stays to
the mast.
A trial trip was made to the bell
buoy, thence to the Philadelphia,
returning to the boat house. She
made very good time and tackled
admirably dead against the wind.
She uses all of her sail and could
probably carry more. It is the in
tention of Mr.. Balls to enter the
boat in the next regatta.

LAST OF TIE STEAMBOAT.
The Historic Old Packet Will Soon
be no More.

The old bark Stamboul, now at
San Francisco. and formerly of New
| Bedford, will go to the Arctic no
! more, her owners having disposed of
her at auction for $210 The STAN
boul was built in 1913 at Medford,
Mass, and was one of the pioneers of
the California whaling fleet. She is
one of the old style square sterned
and blunt bowed vessels, and was a
great hunter in her day.
For the first twenty-five years OF
her life she was one of the crack pas
senger craft of the Atlantic. She is
picturesque even yet, despite fifteen
years of hard work in the whaling
business. There is nothing about
her that has decayed, and large
charges of gunpowder will be requir-
ed to tear her live oak planks asun-
der. While not by any means unsea-
worthy, she is of no use to this
generation. Her bluff bow cannot
plow the seas in chase of whales fast
enough to make her profitable. The
comparative smallness of her hold
renders her unfit for cargo purposes,
and SO nothing remained for her
owners to do but to consign her to
the auctioneer.
The sale of the STEAMBOAT says the
S. f. Examiner, marks the end Of the
period when moderate sized sailing
ships could pursue whaling with
profit. The introduction of steam
has completely destroyed the bust
ness of vessels of the StambouI's
type. Several owners are now
grudgingly expanding few hundred
dollars in equipping their old vessels
for one more voyage in the hope that
their luck may turn, but old sailors
consider it a foregone conclusion
that on their return many will meet
the fate Of the Stamboul.
