Contagious
Blood Poison.

Mr.. Frank B. Martin, who is engaged
In the jewelry business at 926 Penn
sylvania Avenue, Washington City,
where he is well and favorably known,
was victim of that worst form of dis
ease-contagious blood poison. He
realized that his life was about to be
blasted, for this terrible disease has
baffied the skill of the physicians for
ages, and they have never yet been
able to effect a cure. His mental
despair can better be imagined than
described.
In a recent letter he says: about
four years ago l contracted severe
case of contagious blood poison, and

myself under treatment of two of the

1t is stated as an actual fact that
all the people residing in Letchter coun-
ty, Ky, are related to one another, di-
rcctly or indirectly. The reason of this
is found in the remarkable Webb fam
lily. There are three brothers and three
sisters of the original family, all living
near Sargent, and they have no fewer
than rs descendants living in the
neighborhood. The eldest member of
the family, Lcttie, isS2 years old, and has
20 children, 95 grandchildren, and so
great-grandchildren. Polly, aged so,
has 1G children and almost as many
grandchildren and great-grandchildr
as Lettie. The youngest, Wiley, has

A SAMOAN SENSATION.
King and Rebel Prince Figure In
This Strange Story.
They Are Rivals In Love as Well as in
Politics-The Woman In the Case Is
Described as Being Pretty
and Patriotic.

The taupou of Vaiala is the woman
in the story. Such another heroine for
novel could not be found in all Samoa,
according to the San Francisco Chron-
icle. A taupou is among Samoan wom-
en- what chief is among the men. All
through her life she is carefully pro-
tected from temptation. A taupou may
always be recognized, for, wherever
she goes, attendants accompany her.
These attendants are known as an
ualuma. The taupou is queen of the
village, of such nobility as to be the wife
of a chief, and is one of those few per-
sons in Samoa entitled to wear the ula
lei, or necklace of whales teeth.
The taupou of Somoa is the prettiest
of Samoan women. The village in
which she holds the high rank is the one
in the midst of which the American
consulate at Apia is located. Although
born of Samoan nobility she was edu-
Gated by the missionaries, and reads,
writes and speaks languages other than
her own. She is described as cultured
and accomplished. So in love was she
with native customs and her native
home that, after her education had been
completed, she chose to forsalte the
European garments she had been
taught to wear and take up again the
simple covering worn by the natives.
Soon the pretty girl forsook her Eng
lish and her French, and tried much
more assiduously to lead the silva or
native dance than she had ever tried
to learn stilted foreign accomplish
ments. This girl, well known to many
island travellers as the belle of Samoa,
has had the strange good fortune to
be loved by the king of Samoa, Malietoa,
and also by the rebel prince, Tamasese.
Tamasese, the prince, was the first
of the rivals to make his love known
to the girl. Things went so far that
there was a proffer of marriage. He
sent his talking man" to meet her
talking woman" and to tell his desire.

DUMAS THE YOUNGER.
In Many Respects He Was a Truly
Remarkable Man.
His Childhood Was Not a Happy One
Some of the Products of His Pen Which
Brought Him Fame-Father and
Son Compared.

Alexandra Dumas, fills, who died on
November 27, was born in Paris on July
%, 1924. He was n natural child. In
the preface to a volume of his plays,
published in 1877, is found this frag-
ment of autobiography, which is
charming picture of the generosity of
nature, the moral courage, the high
mindedness of the average French
schoolboy:
My mother was good, courageous
woman who worked to rear me- my father
government employe, with q salary of
l,2O0 francs year (S2iO, having his mother
TO support. By lucky chance 1t so hap
pened that my father, though impulsive
was kind-hearted. When, after his first
successes as a dramatist he thought he
could rely upon the future, he recognized
me and gave me his name. That was
much; the law did not force him to do so.
and | have been so grateful that l have
bcrne that name as well as l could. Yet
it appeared that his name was not enough
in the eyes of the children whose position
was perfectly regular before the law and
in the midst of whom l was placed very
early in a great boarding school kept by
one of the best of men, NJ. Prosper G Goubaux.
These children insulted me from morning
till night; delighted, probably, to abuse in
me the celebrated name of my father be-
cause my mother had the misfortune not
to bear it, There was not a day that l
did not have fight with one or another
of my comrades, and sometimes with sew
eral together. for their cowardice was not
solely moral Those who were not thus
said nothing and looked on. My suffering,
which | have described in L Affaire Glenn
enceau,' and of which l never spoke to my
mother so as not to distress her. lasted five
or six years"
At an early age the young Dumas was
placed in the Goubaux institution,
where (and also at the Bourbon college)
he made brilliant progress. Accus-
toned from his earliest youth to liter
airy surroundings, he soon evinced
strong and positive likes and dislikes on
the subjects that were discussed be-
fore him by his father and his friends.
At the age of II he wrote number of
poems, which were published in a vol.
ume in 1S47, entitled LES Peches de
Jannesse." This work has almost been
lostsight of,and possesses little literary
merit, although there are some pleas

CLOSE OF THE SHOE YEAR.
HaverhiiI Leads the World as the
Greatest Producer.

Haverhill, Mass, Dec. 2s.-The shoe
year, which ended yesterday, shows an
other record breaker and this city sti
retains the lead as the largest shoe
producing centre in the world The
record of shipments for the year is
366,9l0 cases, which is an increase of
10, lO7 over that of last year. The ship
ments for 1894 were the largest prcvi-
ously known, being BAT, sO3 cases, and
this was accomplished during the bust
est sale that has ever been known
locally. The shipments last year were
an increase of II, 1853 cases over those of
1898, and the figures of the increase
this year are most surprising when the
labor troubles and the big strike of
last January are considered, During
that time the six largest firms in the
city We're doing comparatively little
business. The total, with the esti-
mated average of forty pairs to "A case,
shows the production of 14.676, 400

ing lines, and the motif is evidently
sincere in its naivete; it is of youth
youthful. After having accompanied
his father on journey to Spain and
Africa he wrote fantastic book called
"Adventurcs de Quatre Femmes ct dun
Perroquet." In 1913 he wrote and
published ia Dame aux Camellias."
Between the years 1855 and 1870 more
than so curtain-raisers and plays from
the young Dumas pen were produced
in the Paris theaters. After the first
disasters in 1870 NJ. Dumas retired to his
estate in Puys, near Dieppe. The day
after the commune he sent to news
paper in Rouen La Lettre sur les
Choscs du Jour-" full of patriotism and
invectives against the revolutionists.
Returning to Paris in 1872, he had Il
series of plays produced at the Gym
nase. The first two pieces were "Une
Nisite de Noces" and La Princess
Georges" The great success of the play
was in a measure due to Mdlle. Aimee
Desclee, who played the principal roles.
Besides La Dame aux Camellias," his
greatest dramatic triumphs have been
LES ldees de Nine. Aubray," a comedy;
"Une Viste de Noces," La Princesse
Georges" 'Monsieur Alphonse" and
"EEtrangere." In 1872 he published
"L'IIomme Femme" which repeated
the thesis of his novel, "LAffaire Glenn
enceau,' and a dramatic version Oft was
produced at the Gymnase in 1873 under
the title LA Femme de Claude" a
,,la ,N-hipl, % =
sance theater by Sarah Bernhardt in
1894.
Nj. Dumas was installed a member OF
the French academy on February II J.,
1875, and was promoted to the rank of
commander of the Legion of Honor.
His drama, Joseph Balsamo," based
on his fathers romance, "Cagliostro,"
was per- med for the first time at the
Odeon, March IS, 1878. He published
in 1850 Les Femmes qui Tuent ct les
Femmcs qui Notent," in 1881 La Prin-
cesse de Bagdad," in 1855 "Denise" and
in 1857 "Francillon."
NJ. Dumas was a remarkable exam
pie of inheritance of talent. Yet be-
tween the author of La Dame aux Ca
me las" and the author of LES Trois
Mosquetaires' there is as great diff
ference as between the Armand Du-
val" of the former and the "D'Ar-
tagnan" of the latter. The son once
attempted to explain this difference
by saying: MY father was born in
a poetic age, and he is an idealist;
was born in a materialistic age, and
am rcalist. My father takes his sub
jects from dreamIand | take mine
from life. He works with his eyes shut,
| with mine open. He starts from
fact; from an idea" The father,
however, was nearer the truth, and ep-
igrammatically neater when he
summed up with the words: "IIe is
a photographer; am painter" The
father owed the larger part of his sue
cess TO his power as storyteller-
Astounding in action, splendid in color,

He sent pigs and mats and other pres
ents, but, in accordance with the native
custom, was not permitted to speak to
the girl he loved in person.
Tamasese was rejected, but contin-
ued to love the girl. To the horror
of this rebel prince, and to make his
hatred of the present government all
the stronger, King Malietoa became
enamored of the same beautiful taupou.
The king, though, has an incumbrance,
for he was married some years ago.
There is native custom that came in
very handily in this emergency, how
ever, for Samoan chief of any rank
is entitled to set aside his wife when
ever he chooses and to take another.
When King Malictoa attempted to sci
aside his wife a month ago he found
difficulties in the way. What happened
then is the talk of all the islands, and
may, before the clouds clear, cause an
other war. The queen refused to be
set aside. This emulation of Catherine
of Aragon produced sensation in
Samoa. Nothing of the sort had been
heard of before. The queen, however,
declared she had been married to the
king by the missionaries and would not
leave him. In case she was set aside
she threatened most direful vengeance.
King Malietoa, accompanied by his
advisers had gone so far as to pay Wis

Little Hope of the Senate and House
Agreeing on a Relief Measure

Washington, Dee 2s. Secretary Car
Isle spent most of yesterday in consul
tation with the president and was at
the treasury only for few minutes.
The impression is general that the
president, living up to the language of
his message to congress on its opening,
will within short time sell $780, ,OOO,-
600 bonds, unless there is evidence that
some relief measure will pass congress
speedily. The best opinion is that the
chances for the senate and house to
concur quickly in any measure that
will meet the approval of the presi-
dent, are slight
