ANTI-SNORlNG DEVICE.
Kansas Man Invents al Method of Cur

Topeka KAN Dec. 2.-Snoring will be
thing of history when Richard Jacks. of
Wyandotte county, Kansas, gets his new
invention, the ''anti-stertory, on the mar
ket. The device has been patented and
company has been organized for it's manu-
facture, with some of the richest men in
Kansas behind it. A factory has been
erected at Bonner Springs and work is al
ready going forward on the manufacture
of the anti-snorer. Not only will the de-
vice present a perfect preventive for the
terrible habit of snoring, but will also act

poets to sell millions of them to young
men and maidens- who want to be hand

pleads guilty. What, l snore! Never is
commonplace disclaimer. and may, when
the patient uses the 'anti-stertory," be
made with perfect assurance of it's truth
The thing is made from white elastic
about the same width as that used for gar

farmer, come to invent such an ingenious
device? Years ago, when he was a young
man, he had beautiful wife, whom he
lost Just because he was in the habit of
trying to split his soft palate while he
slept. Mrs. Jacks, being. human. had to
sleep, ana sleep was impossible while
Richard snored. She got a divorce, and MIR

Gen George S. Bachelor, of New York,
who was seen at the Arlington last even
ing sails Jan. for Carlo, where he will
resume his old place as one of the judges
of the Egyptian Mixed Court, which is, in
fact. an international tribunal General Bat
chellor was Tor ten years a member of this
court, and when he resigned was the pre-
siding justice.
Both at Cairo and Alexandria" said
General Bachelor, ARE located these mixed
courts, so called because they are COM
posed of native judges and foreigners, three
natives and two foreigners making a bench
Every European government that has con-
sular representation in Egypt is entitled to
at least one judge. Formerly the consuls of
the various countries Were invested with
judicial functions and they have jurisdiction
now in criminal matters. The court to
which 1 have been called has to do only with
civil cases A popularity is that it can only
be called on to adjust the rights of litigants
who are of different nationality. Two Amer
leans could not come before it, neither could
two natives nor two Frenchmen.
In the earlier days of the mixed courts
some very important suits were determined.
At one time the Egyptian government UNI
dertook TO appropriate money belonging TO
a sinking fund to pay off obligations caused
by an expedition up the Nile. French bond
holders protested that the funds could not
be diverted from their proper USE and APP
pealed to our tribunal. Their contention
was sustained, and the English eventually
discharged the debt. At another time cred
themselves out of the money loaned by the
Rothschilds, and the court was invoked to
prevent them from absorbing the whole
lean. Of course, cases of such magnitude
do not occur now very often, but still there
is plenty of work for the benches I'm a land
where thousands of representatives of differ
ent nations are gathered, courts of this kind
are a necessity, though outside of the nom
Christian countries they are not in exist
ence. In all the Christian countries of Eu-
rope foreigners have to take their chances
before the established legal tribunals
General Bachelor was gratified with the
action of the Egyptian government In no
tifying the United States diplomatic agent
at Cairo that his appointment as Judge
would be very acceptable. This notice was
given prior to his appointment by President
Mckinley.
