There was meeting OF physicians al
Cooper Medical College yesterday tha
was of world wide significance.
AS a result of the meeting it will bt
proclaimed to the world, with all the
weight of authority that a medical college
OF re cogniZed high rank can give, that the
oxytubercu.in treatment of consumption
originated by DR.. j. o. Hirsch elder o.
this city and by him pat entity expert
mented with for two years is a success.
The medical profession and to some de-
gree the public have known more or less
OF DR. Hirschfelders treatment for several
mon tbs and favorable reports of it have
recently appeared in leading medical jour
nails, but few, either physicians or laymen,
have acquired much faith in it. as is
natural with such a thing in the expert
mental stage.
But DR.. Hirschfelder's individual pub
ilshed reports are one thing and a report
signed by eminent phys Clans represent
ing such an Institution is another thing.
The latter will project oIytubsrculin up
to the notice OF the entire world, command d
attention for it and produce either cong
dence in 1t or readiness 10 try it at once.
At the meeting of the State Medical As
sociation here IN May DR.. Hirsch fielder
read paper describing fully his oxytu-
berculin, its preparation, use and effects
recting definite results in cases desert bed
and saying: Il believe l have proved be-
yond reasonable doubt that consum D.
ton may be cured with oxytuberculin if
ad N inistered before the later stages of the
di ease"
This was practically the first definite re-
poIt DR.. Hirschfelder had made on the
patient experiments he had been pursuing
for neary two years. The paper at
tracted considerab BILE attention. DR.. Hirsch.
fielder is professor of clinical medicine in
Cooper Medical College, and a number OF
his associates in the faculty watched closely
the progress of his work.
Recently it was thought the time had
come when the efficacy or failure oi
oxytuberculin should be determined and
made known to the medical world in a de-
cisive way. A committee was appoiEted
to investigate and prepare a report which
should go forth to the world of science.

light on the mysterious story of I'm blay
Clarke and his vast estate and his famil
history, which is blank to Grace Elliott
and all who know her.
This young lady has never known more
than that 3 probably rich man named
imolay Clarke left her in an orphan asy-
lum when her mother died a week after
her birth, and then sailed away TO Aus
tTalIa with her mothers remains never to
be heard of again.
There must be those in California who
knew I'm blay Clarke a generation ago,
and those who knew Mrs. Griswold and
her home for friendless children, and the
story Will bring forth some of these and a
steady accumulation OF scraps of the mys-
ferrous story, but none came yesterday.
10 this natural process there will this
week be added an active ferreting out of
buried romance of thJ days of gold
when an attorney is secured and the case
actively taken up. Imblay Clarke is sup
posed to have been an eccentric man and
likely one that largely buried his life as
he went along, but now while his bones
are turning to dust in the Antipodes his
buried life Will all be dug up ana shown
to a curious world.
Something, too. will soon be heard from
the East and it will be spliced to what is
uncovered here. I'm blay" is an uncom-
mon name and il is regarded as unlikely
that two such men should appear here at
the same time, grow rich and go to Aus

had come from Los Angeles to present
himself in behalf of the remedy that had
saved his life.

eminent physicians in the East that the

life six months by going TO Arizona. He
had said that he guessed he would prefer

came to DR.. Hirschfelder here in October
last He was cured IN six months oy the
injections of oXvtuberculin. When he
began the treatment he would pant for
breath at the slightest exertion; now he
walks miles a day, and declares himself
ready for race to San Jose. He has
been examined and pronounced perfectly
cured by six physicians.
Miss Norma Rolfe OF Stockton was an
other of the patients. She was in the
second stage of the disease in October last,
when she began the treatment, and
coughed constantly. Her cough ceased
in three weeks and she has been perfectly
well for SIX months past.
Another one was farmer who had
come up from SEQUEL TO be present. In
November, 1895. he was in the asst stages
of the disease and his case was hopeless,

and each individual was thumped and
thoroughly examined for traces of the
disease, while the record OF each case was
fully taken.
The committee will not formulate its re-
| port Tor several days and none of the

about it until it is ready, but the informa-
ton comes from several physicians that
the evidence of the efficacy Of the oxyiu-

will be to that effect
This new remedy differs from Koch's
tuberculin, which is now generally re-
iected, largely in its being oxydized

against the effects which have condemned
Koch's discovery. In his paper of last
April, DR.. Hirsch elder said

~OME of the gravest charges ever
uttered concerning the Governor OF a

institution fell from the lips OF Rev. C. w.
Wendte and john P. Irish at the Oak
land Unitarian Church last night.
Before an audience of thoughtful and
prominent men and women, most OF the m
members of the Starr Kin Fraternity, the
speakers alleged that the Whittier and

conducted in such way as 10 de ebauch

CHARGES.

Governor Budd's criminal and
base political Administrations
has set back the work of prog
ress ten years at Whittier and

been stood up in pIatoons and
whipped until they tainted,
while blood ran down to their
shoes, aud i charge that in the
presence of these injquities the
political press of the State has
stood with dumb tongue in
its mouth. 1 charge, further,
that a criminaiiy corrupt and
politically base decentralization
has maligned the State by say
ing that the cost of maint tain
ing our deliDquents and defec-
tives is excessive, in face of the
fact that statistics show that

paper in its fight for REFORM"
John P. Irish related how he had failed
some months ago to be BILE to get facts
into certain newspapers because they re-
hec;ed on the conduct of the Governor.
He found that some of the editors had
been asking TO have friends put in office.
He then went to q magazine, but the
editor would not print anything about the
debauching of puDlc institutions because
he wanted the Governors aid 10 get his
magazine adopted in the schools as text
book on morals and manners. Laughter. ]
Miss Mollie Connors. the we'll kn own
educator made a speech on reform, with
particular reference 10 child hood. Among
other things she held that there was some
hope that public prisons for men, women
and children would be taken out Of poll
tics and reformed, because the scandal
was now becoming so great that the peo-
pie could no longer forgive the offenders.
She said there was kind feeling for little
children that would cause people to de-
mand an investigation.
THE one thing that l can never forget
and forgive. " she said, 'is the brutal way
they treated the little boys at lone.
When hey protested against ill-treatmen',
they were not reasoned with or treate
better, but they were 1ogged shamefuily
until they tainted. You must re member
that these homes are bad at best. The
day OF their end cannot be far away.

The storm-tossed mariners from the
banks of'the Taunton river had designs
on yesterdays game with the Pawtuckets
on the Dexter street grounds. John Irwin,
as he watched his players scamper over
the plate in the eighth inning and tie the
score, no doubt wondered why his team
cannot get out OF the losing rut. But
more aware of that fact than Manager
Irwin, The Pawtuckets went in and won
out the game In their half Of the ninth by
single.
Manager Smith and his men gave an
other fine exhibition OF clean and fast
fielding, not a misplay being recorded
during the nine innings OF play. The
visitors played scrappy ball, but their ina
bility to bunch hits made them blue.
Simon's work both at the bat and in the
field was a feature of the Taunton's work.
He captured five flies and hit for homer
and double, the latter drive in the eighth
inning being instrumental in tieing the
score.
McElroy started to do the honors for the
visitors, but the locals got too familiar
with his mixture to suit Irwin, SO Ashe
was substituted. The latter did not have
the best of control, but kept the hits well
scattered.
McCafferty pitched excellent ball for
Pawtucket, and in only two innings al
lowed the Tauntons to score. Coughlin
led the home team in batting. and three
clean home runs were made.
With the score even in the ninth, Stouch
was retired at first. Buelow followed with
a slashing single to left centre and Cough
lin followed suit. Moss hit for two bases
and Buelow chased across the place with
the winning run. McCafierty flied out to
