MEDTO0S CONFER.
There Are Doubling ThOmaseS Regarding
the New Skin Diseases.

There Are Doubling ThOmaseS Regarding
the New Skin Diseases.
There was an interesting meet
ing OF the West Texas Medicos last
night and several interesting pa
pers discussed, principally one
read by City Physician Menger on
the skin disease OF DIR. Reynold,
OF Georgetown. The president and
DIR. Burg gave DR. Menger some
credit for his work in the matter,
but ridiculed the entire matter and
stated that the patient with the
supposed skin disease Is a fraud
and crank and that DIR. Fleming,
in whose especial treatment DR.,
Reynold had been since the last
eight months, was imposed upon
by his patient applying some kind
OF stuff on his skin to arouse sym-
pathy by DR.. Fleming and others.
In spite Of all the explanations
and letters read from DR.. Fleming,
who stated therein that he had
personally watched his patient re-
move the particles sent to DR.. Men.
ger for microscopic examination,
the matter was entirely ignored,
except by Drs. Spring and King,
who stated that DIR. Fleming was
TOO much OF gentleman as to not
believe his statements.

FORTUNE FOR A TRAMP.
vagabond for Five Years, JehIel Judson
Falls Heir to $4,000.


Falls Heir to $4,000.
A Herald special from Liberty, N. Y,
says: Jehiel Judson, tramp for the
last five years, has been notified that, by
the death of a friend in the state of
Michigan, he has become heir to a for
tune of $4,000. Some years ago Judson
was possessed of a competence, which
he lost through unfortunate specula-
tons, and, becoming disheartened and
dissipated, was finally reduced to va
grancy.
He wandered from place to place,
homeless and friendless, until he finally
decided to reform, and recently wrote a
letter to his home in Michigan declaring
his intentions and requesting aid. A
reply was soon received inclosing a re-
turn ticket and advising Judson that the
fortune of $4,000 was awaiting him.
He has left for his old home. During
the last winter Judson has roamed
through Sullivan and adjacent counties,
begging his meals and sleeping in barns.

HARDY COFFEE PLANTS.
They Live and Are Fruitful Sometimes
for Century.


for a Century.
Coffee plants, says the New York OBJ
server, are usually raised from seeds
sown in beds upon the mountains,
where the thermometer varies from So
degrees Fahrenheit in winter to so de-
grees in the height of summer. When
they are two years old the small shoots
are set out in rows six feet apart each
way. In three years they begin to yield.
They are increasingly fruitful for Is to
20 years and live for a century. The
trees bloom in February in Guadoloupe,
the fruit ripens from August to Deem
Der, but bloom and green fruit and the
ripened berry may be sometimes seen at
once during the latter part of the year.
The berry is red, of the size and color Of
a cherry; the coffee is made from the
kernel or seed, which is divided into tive
hemispheres.
This seed goes through a variety Of
processes before it becomes the coffee
of commerce and is prepared for use in
the delicious beverage which is known
all over the world. Most of the coffee
of the French islands goes naturally to
France, but it is not so cheap as the
South American product, and it's culti-
walton is encouraged by governmental
bounties. The coffee and sugar inter-
ests do not conflict, for the former occu-
pies the highlands and the latter the
lowlands.

The Alpha Social club had a
delightful meeting last night.
A Runaway.

A delivery wagon of George Dull
mig, in charge of Driver Gus. Eek
enroth, was run away with on
Third street this morning and was
caught by Officer Espinoza at the
Sunset freight depot, on Burleson
street. The horse became fright
ened just as Eckenroth was about
to tie it in order that he might de-
liver some groceries. A sack of
flour was lost and seven dozen
eggs were smashed. At the Burle-
son street railroad crossing the
horse ran into the automatic gates,
which were down at the time to
allow switch engine to pass, and
the gates were broken. Eckenroth
was arrested for leaving his team
alone and gave bond.

DEAF MUTES DANCE.
A Jumping Mummy on the Piano Keeps
the Step for Them.


A social club of deaf mutes exists in
Warsaw since 1883, and as there are
u large unmber of persons thus afflict-
ed in the capital of Russian Poland, the
club is doing very well. During the
last week of carnival the club arranged
a ball, and in order to enable the MEM
Der to dance to the music in time, a
very curious plan was adopted, which
proved quite efficient. A large paper
doll was rugged up on the piano, and
the player, also deaf mute, who fur
nished the music, which, of course,
could not be heard by the members of
the club, used a pedal to make the
paper figure move up and down in time
with the piece played. A large sign
alongside announced the character of
the dance, and thus it became possible
for the deaf mutes to enjoy the dances
as if they were not afflicted with their
organic shortcomings. Besides that,
they were spared the agony of those
who could hear, for some wag had tam
pered with the piano, which was fright
fully out of tune, even the player never
noticing that fact. The deaf mutes
danced into the early morning hours
and unanimously voted the entertain
ment a magnificent success.

MATcHsox OF The NEW WOMAN
Man No Longer the Monopoiist of This
Convenience.

Until this year the matchbox has been
the unquestioned. exclusive property Of
man. Never once did he think of such
o thing as the fairer sex borrowing 1t.
lie may have had a presentimsnt of
her laying claim to his necktie, but his
matchboX-neyer, says the Chicago
Tribune.
But the bicycle girl, who makes what
evcf she wants possible, has now laid
siege to mans matchbox. IL she con-
templated riding at night she needs
matches to light her lamp. and neces-
sarily she must carry them in match
box.
That IS the reason that there ara
any number of new matchboxes this
year which are smaller and more dainty
than anything in this line ever seen be-
fore.
DO the girls buy them p prominent
jeweler was asked. To which question
he answered: "Yes, indeed. The snalf4
er sizes are made particularly for their
special use"
The prettiest of the new mntchboxes
for girls are of gold with an enameled
decoration. The enameling either takes
the form of a college or yacht club
flag or il resembles n hand-painted
miniature showing a girl on a wheel
or the head Of a dog. Many of these
matchboxes are made with n concealed
recess for photograph. 1t is only when
a certain spring is touched chat the pic
ture can be seen, 50 skillfully it is hid
den away.
The silver matchhoxes, decorated
with the outline of tiny bicycle in
enamel, are also new and much less ex-
pensive. ID.
