FISH SCALES On HER BODY.
Strange Skin Disease of a Girl of
Eleven Years.

Eleven ears.
Cincinnati, Aug, 2o.-Since her birth,
Rosa Gruber, now eleven years old, has
been afflicted with a disease that has baf-
fled the skill OF almost every eminent ply
sician Of this city. Technically, the dis
ease is called ichthyosis, word of Greek
Derivation meaning fish scale disease. The
little ones body is covered with scales from
the toes To the crown OF her head, her
face alone being free from them.
1t would probably be no great stretch OF
the lima ginationt to compare her tothe myth
ical mermaid, so closely does her skin re-
semble the enidermis OF that legendary
siren of the deep.
The case has created universal attention
among physicians, and she has been in all
the hospitals Of the city where local doc
tors and members Of the profession from
abroad have examined her.
BY many she has been pronounced incur
able, so she was taken to the City Hos
piial, where she will receive the attention
OF the best local practitioners.
With Ii all Rose is of "a cheerful disposl-
tion, and does not suffer much pain. She
finds IL extremely inconvenient, however,
to get about, the movement OF her limbs
and arms causing the scales TO break at
the joints, creating ores similar to chapped
hands
Various causes are assigned for the pres
| ence of this strange affiction, chief among
which is Il taint in the blood and imperfect
circulation. For the present she will be
treated with soothing ointnents, and the
progress of the disease will be watched
with great interest.
Roses parents live at 1902 West Front
street, and although they have a large
family, none of the other children are
similarly afflicted.

WIFE heater WHIPPED.
Mary land Sheriff Laid the Lashes ON
Lightly.

Elkton, Nd, Aug. 25.-John Boots, aged
twenty-six years, of Chesapeake City, who,
on Monday last, brutally assaulted and
beat his wife on the outskirts OF Elkton,
and who was sentenced by Magistrate
Philip NJ. Groves TO thirty days confine-
neni in the Elkton iaiIand to receive ten
lashes at the whipping post, was whipped

The whipping post waserected in thenorfh

ton j. White, and consists merely OF
piece OF timber sxs planted in the ground,
standing sone seven feet high. On the
back is large staple and ring. Boots was
stripped to the waist taken out and hand
cuffed to the post.
The sheriff, who is a very large and
powerful man, applied the cat very mod
erately, and the skin was not bruised or
broken, yet Boots felt the iashes severely.
To add to his discomfort, a steady rain fell
during the whole time Boots stood the
whipping. Inanfully5a Although the time set
for the whipping was kept secret, a. very

The cat-o'-nne- tails used was loaned to
