The Attack Rendered Him Unconscious, and He Never Awakened-Hb Great
 Discoveries to Aid Humanity and His Famous Hydrophobia Preventative.
 PARIS, Sept. 30.-Professor Louis Pas teur, the eminent bacteriologist, died Sat urday evening at Garches, near St. Cloud, in the environs of this city.
 Professor Pasteur had been gradually failing in health for some months, and re- gently the French newspapers announced the beginning of the end. This report was emphaticaliy denied by the family and friends. They acknowledged the feeble condition of the distinguished bacteriolo- gist, but attributed it to local rather than to gener al causes.
 It is believed that the funeral of Pro lessor Pasteur will be national in charac- ter.
 Professor Pasteur had suffered from paralysis for a considerable period of time About eight days ago he sustained vio- lent paralytic stroke and Saturday suf- fered still another severe attack. He grew worse rapidly and remained ina comatose condition until he expired. His wife de. votedly watched at his bedside. His son, daughter, son in law and two grandchil- dren were present when he passed away.
 Scientist and Author.
 Louis Pasteur was born at Dole, Jura, Dec. 27, 1929, entered the university in 1840, became supernumerary master of studies at the College of Besancon, was received as a pupil in the Ecole Normale in 1S43, took the degree of doctor in 1847 and was appointed professor of physic at the faculty of sciences, Strasburg, in 1848. At the end of 1854 he was intrusted, as dean, with the organization of the newly created faculty of sciences at Lille, and in 1857 returned to Paris and undertook the scientific direction" of the Ecole Nor male. In December, 1863, he was ap- pointed professor of geology, physics and chemistry at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and was elected a member of the institute.
 The Royal society of London in 1856 awarded M. Pasteur the Rumford medal for his researches relative to the polariza- tion of light, etc. He was decorated with the Legion of Honor Aug. 12 1853, was promoted to be an officer of that order in 1863 and commander in 1868. In 1869 he was elected one of the 50 foreign mem- bers of the Royal society of London. M. Pasteur has written numerous works re- lating to chemistry and bacteriology and
Connecticut western news., 1895-10-03

for which in 1861 he obtained the Jecker prize. His contributions have appeared in "Recueil des Savants Etrangers'' and the "Annales de Chimie ct de Physique, " and he published in 1863, in a separate form, a work entitled "Nouvel Exemple de Fer mentauion Determine par des Animalcules Infusoires Pouvant Vivre Sans Oxygene Libre.
 In 1874 the national assembly accorded to M. Pasteur, as reward chiefly for his investigations on fermentation, life an- nuity of 12, 900 francs. He was raised to the rank of grand officer of the Legion of Honor Oct 24. 1878. His reception into the French academy took place April 27, 1882, when he delivered panegyric on NJ. Littre, to whose chair he had succeed ed. In the same year the council of the Society of Arts awarded the Albert medal of the society to M Pasteur for his re- searches in connection with fermentation, the preservation of wines and the propa- gation of zymotic diseases in silkworms and domestic animals.
 Prevention of Hydrophobia.
 Of late years M. Pasteur has devoted himself to the study of inoculation for diseases other than smallpox and has achieved some very remarkable results in the prevention of hydrophobia, patients from all parts of Europe and -even from America travelling to Paris to put them selves under his care. Large subscriptions were raised in France to form an Institute Pasteur, where the methods of the great discoverer could be practiced and taught. On July 1, 1889, meeting was convened at the Mansion House in London for the purpose of hearing statements by Sir James Paget and others in favor of estab- fishing Pasteur institute in England. The Prince of Wales contributed 100 guineas toward that object. A Pasteur institute has also been established in America under the direction of the pupils of Pasteur for the purpose of affording re- lief to Americans who could spare neither the time nor the money to make the trip to Europe for the purpose of placing them selves directly under the care of the great chemist NJ. Pasteur.
 The cholera epidemic of 1899 led M. Pasteur to institute experiments in anti choleraic vaccinations, which proved sno- cessful in the case of animals.

in putting debts OF all grades upon the
SAME common level. know it is urged
that those who have procured the higher
evidences of indebtedness are considered as
having displayed greater diligence and as
a reward therefor the law gives them q
preference according to the rank or grade
Of the debt. Equity, however. imputes no
particular merit to diligence unless the ad-
vantage thereby acquired amount to lien
or some vested right or interest which
neither equity or law will allow to be dis
turbed.
A paragraph from Pomcroy's admirable
treatise OH Equity Jurisprudence is very
instructive on this point. He says
"Another remarkable aud most Just APP
plication OF the principle" referring to
the maxim, equality IS equity" "oftel
leading to results very different from those
produced by the operation OF legal rules,
may be seen IN all those instances where a
court of equity acquires Jurisdiction from
any cause to wind up, distribute or settle
an estate, property or fund against which
there are a'number of separate claimants.
One example is that of settling the affairs
of an insolvent partnership, corporation
or individual debtor in creditors suit
brought by one on behalf of all other
creditors, where the assets are not sufficient
to satisfy all demands in full; the court
always proceeds upon the principle that
equality is equity and of apportlonlng
the property pro rata among all the credi'

maxims and principles equally clear anc

BRITONS FEAR OUR RACERS
The American Horses Make
Them Feel Shaky.
QUEENS MAY DRAWING ROOM
Royal Aims Distributed to the
Poor of London.
Gossip of the British Capital-Croker
and Dryers String of Racers Command
Respect-The Misses Vanderbilt to be
Presented to the Queen.

LONDON, April 13.-Those who are In
charge of the string of American horses
belonging to Messrs. Croker aud Dwyer
of New York, which are now in active
training at Newmarket for number Of
the important events of the racing
season here, are reticent concerning the
date efStheir first appearance in public.
But the American horses arc beginning
20 be looked upon with more respect
than when they first landed in England
at the end of January last. Conse-
quently, the chances of Stonel1, Dob
bins, Don Alonzo, Banquet, Harry
Reed, Montauk and others are being
quietly discussed by the sporting fra
ternity. The Newmarket correspondent
of the Man of Tie World, the mid-weekly
edition of the Sporting Times, considered
by some people to be the leading sport
ing paper in England, referring to the
prospects of the American horses, says:
"The Americans are gradually COM
ing In favor at Newmarket as their trials
progress. They are certainly fire-
looking lot and there are already several
good Judges who think they may give
us trouble. If our handicap horses are
bad, Stonell may cut us up as easily
as Parole and Foxhall did a few years
| ago. At any rate, have seen enough
to make me regard them as extremely
dangerous"

It is announced that the lists for the

will both be presented to the Queen at

FIRE IN SMYRNA.
Havoc Caused by an Explosion OF Case
lene with Which Mrs. Boyd Was Filling

Havoc Caused by AN Explosion OF Gaso-
lene with Which Mrs. Boyd Was Filling
Stove.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal
SMYRNA, April 13.-At 6 o'clock last
evening fire was discovered in the double
residence occupied by Prof. A. Duncan
Yocum and Mrs. Mary l.. Boyd. The
fire originated in the kitchen OF Mrs.
Boyd. She was preparing supper BY
the use of gasolene stove and while
filling the stove with more gasolene she
upset the can and Immediately flame
burst forth. Mrs. Boyd was in the
house alone, and frantic with excite
ment tried to extinguish the flames,
which by this time caught to the wood
work. In doing so sine was badly burned
in the face and hair.
Finding it beyond her control she
called for neighborly assistance. The
fire alarm was given and in short while
the members of the hose company were
at work. Most everything was taken
out of the house that could be gotten at
conveniently. The firemen worked
faithfully and after repeated efforts go'
| the flames under control by cutting
through the kitchen roof.
The building is owned by the estate
of the late John E. Collins and is in
sured in the Kent County Mutual
There was an insurance on the furni
ture which was damaged, but as Mrs
Boyd didn't take out an extra, which
many insurance companies require fo
the use of gasolene, she may lose all
The loss will amount to several hundred
dollars.
Mrs. Boyd had a narrow escape from
being fatally burned. She is now undel
