MARINE Band CONCERTS
Attracted Very Large Audiences t
Wheeling Park Yesterday,
And the Superb Organization Again
Scored a Triumph-The Engage
ment Was Success in Every
Particular-A Large Number Of
Strangers in the City, and the
Day Was Perfect.

There was large number of strang-
ers in the city yesterday, the excursion
trains being particularly well patron
lied. The weather probably had much
to do with this fact, as it was perfect
autumn day. Most of the visitors, and
a big crowd of resident persons as
we'll, took advantage of what will
probably be the final opportunity to
enjoy the beauties of Wheeling Park
this season, and incidentally to see
and hear one of the best bands in the
country.
The splendid concert recently given
by the Chicago Marine Band at Sci
bert's was big advertisement for that
superb musical organization: and the
return engagement was even more sue
cessful than the first The Wheeling
& Elm Grove road had special trains
to carry the large number of music
lovers to the Park and return, and all
trains were crowded. Two concerts
were rendered, afternoon and evening.
Following were the programmes:

Mr.. Brooke, the efficient leader of
the band, and a composer of great
ability, honored Wheeling and one of
the city's famous amusement resorts
by the dedication of one of his very
latest compositions to Wheeling Park.
1t was the first number upon the mat
inee programme, and was enthusiastic
ally applauded. OF the playing of the
band, nothing need be said, as the
warmest praise would not add to the
reputation which it enjoys in the
music world. Mr.. Brooke caters to
the public taste, and his programmes
are therefore always made up OF both
classical and popular selections. The

Hairless Dog for rheumatism

DR.. Prince Of Oconee county. Georgia,
suffered for years the pangs of rheu-
matism, vainly trying all remedies. Six
wears ago one of his sons in Texas
heard that hairless Mexican dog. II
allowed to sleep at the feet OF a suf-
ferer from rheumatism. was a sure
cure. He bought dog and took 1t
home to his father. The old gentleman
laughed at the idea Of such cure, but
to please his son tried the dog. The
account says that as soon as the doctor
lay down in bed the dog "sprang in
and coiled itself around his feet. In
less than an hour the dog gave him evil
dent relief, and in short time effected
a cure Wherever the pain struck him
he made the dog lie against the place.
and the heat from the animals body
drew 1t out like a mustard plaster.
Every night for six years the doctor
has slept with this bedfellow, who now
begins to show the effect of age: and
DR.. Pierce says that after its death, IL
the rheumatic pains return, he will at
once send off for another Mexican dog"

HOW EUROPE GROWS


The average annual birth rate of Eu-
rope for twenty years ranges from 2i.6
per thousand in France to $50 in Aus
tra. The death rate ranges from IS
in Ireland to 30.6 in Austria. The net
gain ranges from is per thousand in
France TO 1916 in Great Britain. The
British are, therefore, increasing in
number more rapidly than any other
national stock,-closely followed, how
ever, by the kindred German races
After this, there is a long drop to the
Austria Hungarian Empire with it's
mixed races and it's startlingly high
death and birth rates.
Working out these percentages Of in.
crease-taken by twenty-year periods
for convenience, though this method
involves considerable element of err
lor--we find that in 1890 France will
have fallen in relative rank to Just one
third the size OF the German Empire.
She will be overtopped by italy bv
twenty millions, and Will be but about
40 per cent as populous as her heredi.
tary foe, Great Britain.
Ireland even ii emigration We're to
cease entirely, will be less populous
than she was just before the famine Of
7s47 With her low birth rate, Ireland
can no longer send such q swarm of
emigrants to the United States as she
has done. Indeed, for some time past,
England has cen sending US more of
her people every year than Ireland.
THE GREAT COLONIZING RACES.

i be saved every year and added to the
population. Imagine that to continue.
and France might for a long time hold
her rank very well in spite of a low
birth rate.
The necessity of better health meas
ures to prevent too rapid waste of pop
ulation by death is likely to be en-
forced on all the European countries
by the phenomenon of the steadily de-
creasing birth rate. This is quite as
noticeable in Europe as in the United
states In every country in Europe,
the number of babies born per thou
sand is from one to three less than the
average of the twenty years from 1871
to 1890 In the long run. medical
science can probably reduce the death
rate in a like proportion, but until now
it has not succeeded in doing this.
THE MALTHUSIAN DOCTRINE
II the military nations of Europe
were to turn their attention to sanl-
tation and the lowering of the death
rate with the same energy they now
worse than waste on army preparations
for a war that ought to be impossible,
some startling results would appear
oll pdPcA'
The population of the six great pow
ers, in 1890 only some 900,o0o,oo would
grow, if the death rate We're cut down
and the birth rate were to remain
about as it is, to the enormous total
Of $50. 600. .O00 or something like twice
the total population of the globe to-
day. In this case l have compounded
the increase annually, instead OF by
periods.
Malthus reckoned upon war, pestl-
lence. and sin as forces calculated TO
keep population down. He did not
reckon upon war becoming a thing toe
terrible to continue, nor upon sanitary
science legislating pestilence out of
existence.
AS things look now any nation
which wishes to conquer the rest OF
the world only needs to keep Its peo-
pie from dying of preventible disease,
and some time within the next century
the trick will be easy.

rope cannot. or at any rate Will not,
hold these hosts. They will overflow
into the new world. into Australia, and
into Africa, peopling new areas with
British, German, and Morse stock, but
probably leaving South America in the
main to Italian influences.
French emigration viii be small
factor. In fact, figures later than those
in the table show that France has
ceased to increase at all. Her popula
ton is now stationary from year TO
year.
THE CASE OF RUSSIA.
The rate of increase of Russian pop
ulation is largely a matter OF guess
work. Ii is known, however. that most
of the Russian and especially Siberian
towns are very unsanitarv, and they
show a very high death rate It is not
likely that Russia is increasing as fast
as Austria. This would limit her
growth in one hundred years to one
hundred per cent. but would still leave
her by far the greatest single power in
Europe, with over 200, 900 900 people-if
they all stayed at home, and there is
plenty of room for them.
1t is strange that it does not occur
to some of the Continental Powers
Italy, for instance-that a surer road to
empire than Gripping the nation with
war taxes to keep a vast standing
army in the field. would be to keep
down the death rate by spreading sani-
tary education and enforcing whole
some reforms in the towns. If Italy
could keep her death rate down as low
even as that of France, which is moth
ing to boast of, she would save-on the
basis of the 1S71-1S90 fgures-i15 ,0J0
lives in a single year. In 100 years she
might be more populous even than
Germany.
1t is only fair to say that the Italian
government seems in measure to
realize this fact, and is SO reducing the
death rate as to show net annual in
crease, by later figures, of II per thou
sand, nearly as great as Germany. If
she can keep this up by further i'm
provements, Italy Will maintain her
rank far better than the above table,
which is as fallible as figures covering
long averages are apt TO be, would in
dicate.
WHAT FRANCE MIGHT DO.
In spite of wealth, culture, skilled
physicians and pretty careful city gov
ernments. Frenchmen die too fast. The
deaths are largely preventible, as one
third of them are those of children
under Is.
Modern science easily renders a death
rate so low as 10 per thousand possible
under favorable conditions and in a
fairly healthy climate, such as France
enjoys. Ii the French death rate were
thus reduced, nearly 900, 900 lives might

swung over to the tables ready for the
distribution Of their contents.
Opposite the stoves is a gigantic
water tank, capable Of holding $500
gallons of water. and directly above the
stoves Is another tank. In the rear
of the car are sinks, with hot and cold
water. and various appliances neces-
sary in preparing meals on large
scale. Yet only five men are required
to operate this plant. The cooks have
been carefully selected. and no stone
has been left unturned to make the ex-
pertinent success.
The car is set upon double trucks Of
six wheels each. and is constructed
with view to securing the smoothest
of running. 1T would not seem to be
an easy matter for the cooks to handle
huge cauldrons filled with scalding
soup while the train is running at full
speed. but with a proper use of the ap-
pliances provided it is thought that no
mishap will occur. The greatest diff
Guilty, however, will be experienced at
such times. When stops are made
and several have been arranged to test
the value of the car-kitchen as base
of camp supply-the cooks will have
an easy time. The equipment of the
car was under the supervision Of Mr.
]. A. Sheffield. general superintendent
of the dining and parlor car service
of the Canadian Pacific, and many of
the arrangements are the result of his
long experience in providing meals for
travellers.

NEW CURE YELLOW FEVER TRANsF UsION
THE

The theory of blood TRANSMISSION has
long been pet study with DR.. Jen-
kins. He first took up this study in
April, 1890. While using Koch's Lymph
for consumption in San Antonio, he for
the first time injected human blood
from one mans veins into another's, for
the specific cure of particular dis
ease by means of blood of a person al
ready enjoying protection against that
disease. DR.. Jenkins tells his own
story Of the outcome Of these strange
experiments as follows:
"Tk.s was the first time in medical
history where human blood was used
as an anti-toxin. The patients were five
cases of pulmonary consumption and
one of Lupus. The AntitoXin blood
used was that Of an orthodox Jewish
butcher. or Kosher. He was a perfect
type of physical manhood, without
taint in body or blood. One-half pint
of blood was let from his veins at the
elbow, and was quickly Determined; !;
that is, the clot was removed by we'll
known methods. The blood remaining
was a clear straw-colored fluid, called
blood serum. Half an ounce of this
serum was quickly injected under the

NEGRO BLOOD FOR YELLOW JACK

Yellow Jack, who has been having so
much his own way in parts of the
south, in spite of shotguns and quaran-
tine, is now to be fought in a novel and
remarkable manner. A prominent
southern medical man. DIR. A. r. Jen-
kins, of Kentucky, after shutting him
self up in his laboratory and conduct
ing a series of mysterious experiments,
comes forward to declare that he has
found a really effective way of stop
ping the ravages of the dread disease,
and is prepared to demonstrate to the
satisfaction of any Doubling Thomas
that he knows whereof he speaks. His
plan is nothing less than the tranfusion
of pure negro blood into the veins of
any one suffering from yellow fever.
Thus, he claims. the patient will be
enabled to laugh at Yellow Jack and
enjoy perfect immunity from his at
lacks.

at the same time, and to insert d.
rccted towards the hand. the sucking
nozzle of a syringe into the opening in
the vein of the giver, while the inject
ing nozzle is inserted into the open
vein of the receiver. directed towards
the body. Several ounces are then in
jected by squeezing the rubber bulb
of the syringe. The TRANSMISSION syringe
is like the usual soft rubber syringe
only much smaller. 1t contains no
valves. The tube must be compressed
with the fingers on one side of the bulb.
while sucking in blood, and compressed
on the other to prevent its return
while injecting. Absolutely no air must
enter the veins.
IF the surgeon expert does not feel
justified in going so far, let him defibri-
nize half pint of protected blood and
inject it under the skin of the patient
in the back. 1t might be SO used in the
first stage of any case, or in smaller
quantity to prevent the disease in one
who had been seriously exposed.
The antitoxins at present before the
profession for yellow fever are a pro-
duct of an artificial cultivation of the
supposed germ in boullion and other
mediums. The product is weakened by
various methods until 1t is supposed to
be weak enough to inject into the hui
man organism, inducing a mild form
of the disease.
Now considering that this germ ID
developed in the human body, any de-
cided result except from a vital human
source seems very improbable. The
method here indicated is somewhat
complicated but once established it
could he much simplified, and If sue
cessful would add greatly to the pro-
lection of life and commerce In the
tropical countries.
II propose to experiment further with
my theory regarding this protecting in
fluence of the African blood, and will
give to the world the result of my in
vestigations as soon as my health and
proper auspices will permit. In the
meantime l submit to the scientific
world that blood-tra nsfusion in the way
] have described is the only way In
which to stop the ravages of the dis
ease now terrifying the people of the

AN INTELLIGENT STEER.
He Became a Leader Of Steers and
This Saved Him From Being
Slauphtered.

There used to be in one of the big
Strengthening establishments in Chi
cago-and probably is now unless he
known as Judas from the fact of his
skill in deceiving other individuals of
his race and his willingness to engage
therein.
This steer was driven from a Western
cattle train into one Of the big pens al
the stock yards one day for the pur-
pose of being converted into steaks
fine-tooth combs, genuine alligator
shoes and other things. But Judas wa:
possessed of an intellect far above that
OF any of the common herd about him
He was also an animal of striking in
dividuality, and he dreaded the loss of
his personal identity in the packing
house barrels. SO he freed himself from
the pail of despair which had fallen
over his comrades, put the thought of
his family sternly away from him, and
chewed the cud of reflection.
Execution morning dawned and
found Judas calm and collected. In
ueeui sOlletnlng ike a Ieer or SatlStdc-
ton might have been noticed in his
eye. When the herdsmen came out
with their long, spiked poles, the rest
of the herd covered together in des-
pair; but Judas. as if resigned to his
fate, stepped forward in the direction
OF the chute leading to the slaughter
house. The other steers. seeing his
Napoleon-like Valor. sprung forward af-
ter him. The herd was soon at full
trot, the herdsmen shouting and
swinging their "punchers" above them.
But as Judas reached the gate he
turned quickly to one side and the
other steers stormed past him into the
steaming slaughter house. Then Judas.
with look of triumph, walked back
to his corner and calmly resumed his
morning cud.
When the next herd was turned in
ne made the same charge and the same
escape, and his genius for leadership
so impressed itself on the herdsmen
that they let him go. For long time
after that day he led hundreds of COM
panies of steers to slaughter, and de-
serted them daily just in time to save
his own sleek hide; and, as l said at
the beginning, he nav still be at the
same game. That is why he was chr ST.
ened Judas. and there are those who
assert that the leer in his eye is becom-
ing more pronounced.
