DR.. KIMBALL DIDN'T SAY 1T
Explains Her Remarks About Amer
lean Flag in Turkey.
Missionaries Look to British COnsuls
in Interior of Asia Minor Be-
cause No Others Are There.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y. Dec. 2.-In an in
terview yesterday with Dr. Grace N Kim
ball, recently missionary ph ysician at V an.
Armenia. and Tho is now at Vassar College.
her attention was directed to the report in
a New York Newspaper OF Saturday last.
from Constantinople, and to the dispatches
from Washington in the Sunday papers,
wherein Secretary oiney declares certain
statements alleged TO have been made by
her at Chickering Han, New York. to be un-
folnded
DR.. Kimball states that she did not say
at Chickerins Hall, or at any other place,
either that the English flag is the only one
respected in Turkey, or that the American
flagis not respected. + she was 50 reported.
she said. the reporters misunderstood her.
She declares that what she did say in sub
stance and now repeats, Is that, in the in
terror, where most or the missionaries
work. aud where the massacres have taken
place, the British flag is the ole to which
they look for protection
The missionaries are beggars al the door
OF Great Britain for consular service AMI
have been for tue past twenty years. This
service has been most generously and er-
ficiently given, and the value OF 1t, es-
peciallv within the past two years, cannot
be estimated.
THIS dependence upon Great britain Is
not because Of any lack of respect for the
American flag on the part OF the TUrkish
government, nor does it necessarily imply
any lack OF efficiency on the part of our
American representatives where they are,
hut il is because we have no consuls in the
interior.
Until recently there was one DR.. Jewett,
at Siyas, who has bee most active and use
ful in his neighborhood but who was in
accessible from Van or Htls as If he were
in America. and he is now on his way To
this country
Several months ago two consuls were ap-
pointed one to ErZeroum and one to Har.
pOOt. but after passing through CONSTANT
nople ard going some distance further un
their way 70 their destinlti they wer,'
compelled to turn back ana Come home just
when they were most needed, because our
government allowed the Turks 10 refuse
them eNeQuatIrs.
Or. kiInbIll added that since she left
Turkey a consul had been located at Ere
Top;n, but there IS no American missionary
there.

DIR. WOoDWARD'S SICKNESS
Health Officers Ailment NAV Turn
Out to Be Diphtheria.
Is in SeclusiOn Awaiting Develop
ments-S Situation Throughout the
City Is About the Same.

DR.. W. G. Woodward. District health Of
| ficcr, has been absent from his office for
| several days, and from the nature OF hIs
| ailment has taken an the precautions as
| TO isolation and treatment that are neces-
sary i'll n case of diphtheria.
Itis, OF course, not vet determine wheth-
or or not the doctor has the disease, and
| 1t is said to be his physicians belief, as
| well his own, that it is merely sore
throat, incident to the season, minus the
diphtheuretic poison.
1t is also understood that q couture" has
been taken from his throat. and tbatit has
been submitted to the bacteriologist for
examination. 1t cannot yet be ascertained
| what it shows.
The doctors many friends will hope to
learn that the suspicion is not well ground
ed, and, while commending him for his
prudent scclusion. will be glad to know that
IL was unnecessary.
1nc Iirst tnaG was known publicly of
DIR. woodwards fitness was when it was
| announced last night at the meeting of the
East Washington Citizens Association that
by reason OF serious indisposition he was
! unable Ia meet an appointment to address
| the association. A.
The number OF known cases OF the dis
ease reported TO the health office today
up 10 IL O'Clock was six, and several
| houses were removed from quarantine.
| cases has increased, naturally, since the
| first cases Were reported, and DR.. Walsh,
| medical sanitary inspector, has found it
necessary to give all OF his time i'll office
| hours Ia their examination, transferring his
| other duties to DR.. Boss.
The weekly report of the health office
! shows ;mrty-four new cases of diphtheria
during the past seven days.
| There was but one death from the disease,
| but seventy-five houses remain under quar-
| antine, and the warning has been raised
| from only thirteen places during the past
| week. as against thirty-four new cases.
| showing an increase of twenty-one cases
since the last report. Nearly all OF the
| cases, however, are said to be of a mild
| type, Eight new cases of scarlet fever are
| shown, and warning cards have been re-
| moved from five houses, while twelve others
| remain placarded.
The total numper OF deaths for the week
was Sc, exactly the same aslast week, and
consequently the death rate remains at
159 as against 81 . for the corresponding
seven days last year. The greater proper
| ton OF deaths occurred among colored
people There was noticeable increase in
| the number of deaths among children, and
| from consumption. Five deaths were oc-
casioned by violence, of which two were
| from suicide.

ITALIANS STARTED A RIOT.
Two Men Are Seriously Hurt in a
Street Battle.

Trenton, n. J.. Dec. 2.-william Lenox
was shot in the right arm, and an unknown
man in the side and arm, by an Italian
named Beiinr Salvador during pitchedbat
tie this morning between body OF Italians
and several hundred men of other nation
alities, whose hatred the Italians had IN
curred by trying to obtain work on the new
reservoir now in the course OF construction
on the outskirts of this city.
The row, hich eliminated in the
shooting of the two men mentioned, has
been brewing for the past few days. Yes
terday a crowd OF Italians, who had as
sernbicd in the vicinity of the excavations.
were driven away by the other men. The
Italians then made threats against the
lives of their prosecutors
This morning the Italians assembled in
the vicinity of the excavations in even
larger numbers than on any previous occa-
sion. They were very demonstratiye, and
threatened dire vengeance unless they
were given employment in proportion to
that g:yen to the men of other nationalities.
The threats on the part OF the Italians
angered the other men and free fight
ensued When the melee was at its height
Salvador pulled a huge siX-Shooter and
blazed away indiscriminately.
Besides the two men who were shot,
number of others received injuries more or
less serious by being struck by flying his
siles. The police and sheriff have been
summoned to the scene. Salvador has been
arrested.
Sheriff Ashmore, upon his arrival, read
the rior act to the mob and the disorder
came To an end. Subcontractor Ross says
that the shooting was not occasioned by
any violence toward the Italians on the
part of the men seeking work, but by hood
luins bent on mischief.
The wounded men, 1t Is thought. are not
fatally injured. The arrested Italian was
cut in the head. The prisoner claims he
was goaded into shooting, but had no inten-
toin of killing anyone.

LANKY BOB The FAYORITE
Great Interest in His Mill With
Sharkey Tonight
Odds Are 100 to As on the Cham
piOn-Julinn Says He'll Win
in Four Rounds.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 2.-Arrange-
ments for the ten-roupd go between Bob
Fitzsimmons, the worlds champion, and
Tom Sharkey, the sailor pugilist, are COM
plete, with the exception Of naming the ref
cree.
Martin Lynch and Martin Julian, the
managers for Sharkey and Fftzsimmons re-
spectfvely, met today to try and unite on
a man, but there is little chance for them
To reach an agreement, and the National
Club Will probably appoint the referee.
FiJzsiiiiiI,oHs pfOiiiihes 10 lie The favor
ite at S100 to $40. although 500 To S45
Is the prevailing price at the pool rooms.
1t must not be inferred from the betting
that Sharkey is friendless. because the
contrary is the case.
The big Eastern plungers now operating
at the track are responsible for the one
sided letting. as they have all seen Fitz-
simmons perform, while they have never
seen Sharkey. A great many people Of
San Francisco favor sharkey, ana II Is
a certainty that FItzsimmons will have to
be harder hitter than Corbett to win
tonight.
Fitzsimmons' plan of battle, as he let it
escape through Martin Julian and himself,
is to do brisk work close to his man short
Uppercutting and hooking. Sharkey's reach
is short which is the reason Ire comes in on
n Decline for his adversary, and Fitzsim
mons says II Shafkey Is QUICK enough 10
run in on Joe Choynski and Jim Corbett, he
is probably quick enough to come in on
him
This is the reason Fitzsimmons has been
practicing in-fighting and building up as
much as possible. He will be nearly as
heavy as the sailor. This, with his strength
of side -slashing and upper-cutting, has made
him great favorite with the knowing
ones. Julian says FitZsimnions will win
with a Knockout in four rounds or less.
In speaking OF tonieht's battle Sharkey
says Il have learned great deal about
the finer tricks OF the ring since fighting
Choynski and Corbett. l have Travelled
and l have spared with and talked to
scores OF ackno wlcdged scientific boxers,

Seats are selling for So, So, So and

sharkey Corbett match. All the box
seats are $40.
Billy Smith, Danny Needham and George
Allen VIII be behind Sharkey, while Julian,

A TERRIBLE TRUTH.
Seven Out in the United
Affections the Nervous System.

Young people who lose their nervous force
through thoughtless dissipation. indiscre-
lions, or over-induigencei in pleasures OF any
kind, are less TO blame than those OF
maturer years, who, needless OF repeated
warnings, continue to excite and worry
themselves over business affairs until the
overtense curd OF nervous vitality snaps
assunder.
The pity is that so few of these un-
fortunates realize the nature of their COM
plaint, otherwise they might seek the
proper remedies and he restored to health
and happiness. They have a general sense
or weakness, languor, dullness, and ex-
haustion, with lack OF ambition and energy.
In too many cases the family phi yscian
tells them tnat there is nothing to fear;
that no injury will result. This assurance
has cost many a sufferer his life. There
is every thing To fear, and the fact oannot
be too strongly impressed upon the suf
rerer from this maiady, that it is his
duty to himself and to those who are in
terestcd in his Welfare to seek "a cure
before his case has become absolutely
incurable.
Are you sufferer from any of the
above described symptoms? II SO, before
1t is too late, consult.
