ALCOHOLISM IN THE ARMY.
Not so Prevalent as it Was, But
 Improvement is ight.

Washington, Oct 14-The annual report of General George M. Stern burg, surgeon general of the army, made public yesterday, shows that al coholism is not so prevalent as it was in the army, but the improvement has been slight. Seven deaths among the whites were due d rect1y to alco- holism. The ratio of accepted men per thou and of those examined was considerably larger than in previous years. This must be regarded, says Gen Sternburg, as meaning that bet ter men paysically areh- coming up as candidates for examination for enlist ment- Conce. ming the health Of the

Wash ingto1, Oct 14-This has 1e a busy week, t only W tn the pres dent, but with the members of the cabine.. The prime pal work done was the preparation of the frasddent's annual message and the repo ts from the diferent depart m nts. l. was stated today that the reports of the cabinet officers are fur ther advanced now than mas ever been known before at this time of the year. The secretary of the treas uTy has his report we in hand, and a synopsis of it is already in the hands of the president. Unlike the ether secretaries, the sec etary of the treasury dOes not make report to the president, but sends his direcs to congress. The others are first sent to the president, who transmits them to congress himself The postmaster general has his report well under way, while Secretary Blisslds well ad- vancad with hrs reviaw Of the work in the interi0r department. Secretary Wilson intands to nake the agricul- \ tural report this year especially at tIa ve, and has be-n a. work on a
 nber of subj cts neve- tre1t d be-
 re by this cabinet officer. Secre-
 " Long will have much to say in Dfe.a to the new ships and the new dry docks, while Secretary Alger, besides treating of the army. will have some interesting niatter in re- gard to the Klondyke. The sec -etary of state doss not make an annual report, but he furaishes tie materlal on which the president bases his re- marks in his annual message in re- gard to for ign rs15tions. r
 It is thought by some that when the supreme court meets Justice Field may take occ lsro1 to intimate This intention of resigning from the : bench The associate justice has long since passed the age for retirement but his great desire was tO-have the record for the longest active service on the supreme perch. Last August he reached this zeal, and as the me ing on Mcn1ay will be the first the supreme court has held since that event, it is thought that the justice may then intimate, although, per, laps not public his intention of re tir4ng. While Justice Fields healtf is good for a man of his age. it. i: not what it was a few years ago. anG the labor and strain incident to active service are most 1dUlSu1nS NO nm ant his friends are desirous for him tt take a rest. It has long been con sidered that if Justice Fled does re t-re Alto my General McKenrf would be his successor. This wa! unders.ood when Judge McKenns was called into the cabinet, and i was thought that Justice Fled would retire within a few months. Since March there, however, has developed a feeling in California of opposition to Jud e McKenna's appointment o1 the bench, because there were othe, candidates for the place, and if { vacancy eh-ud oocIr.' TO doubt th' president will be peti toned to selec some one else from the Pacific coast and ies his cabinet remain in tact.

Catalepsy and It's EGects-Real and Ap,
parent Loss Of Life.

parent Loss of Life.
There is no marked change in one dur
ing an attack Of oatalopsy. The heart still
boats and the lungs are doing their work.
In fact, all the general vital functions are
going on. In some cases, however, all the
vital organs are depressed and do their
work feubly. Respiration is then slower,
and may even in very severe attacks be-
come imporceptible. The heart also shares
in the loss Of power, and its movements
may be 80 weak that pulsation in the ar
tories oAnnOt be detected. As for the tenn
perature Of the body, that generally re-
mains the same as in health. But in cases
where the lungs and heart are e%nfeebled,
as we nave described, IL sinks two or three
degrees below the normal, and the skin is
icy cold and clammy. In these cases, of
course, the victim Of the fit has really tho
appearance of death. Eulenburg says very
severe cases, in which, with 10y cold skin,
the pulse and respiration became 50 weak
as to become i~mperceptible, may have led
the laity to consider the patients apparent
ly or truly dead Such cases form the
foundation for the many exaggerated and
the wonderfully distorted stories in regard
to catalcptic persons who have seemed to
be dead during several days or who have
been buried alive.
IL is true that the only positive sign Of
death is decomposition. But there are q
number of tests held to be quite reliable,
and if several of these are applied in a case
always with negative results but little
doubt can exist. But no conscientious
physician will ever take chances in a case
Of this sort where there exists the slightest
doubt. He would insist that burial be de-
layed until all trace of it was removed.
Some old and reliable authorities in medi-
cine have told of cases where o%ataleptios
lave been buried and returned to life
again. We can scarcely doubt that such
were authentic. But in this connection
there is one important point to be consid-
cred Medical soience has made rapid adj
yances in the many years that have elapsed
since the last Of these cases was reported
1t cannot be 50 very long ago when the one
test Of death almost wholly relied upon
was the looking glass held TO the mouth.
But at the present time there are 20-per-
haps 80-tests, every one Of which is ever
more reliable than that old one. The Ian
ger Of burial before death has ever been
fully appreciated by doctors, and how to
prevent such a terrible accident has been
a constant study with them.-New York
Ledger.
