CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.
Horse Blood Mixed With Alcohol
Used by a Frisco Doctor.

San Francisco, Aug. DIR Fred W.
D'Evelyn, head of ST Luke's hospital,
this city, has just made public the re-
suits of Is years experiments, by which
he claims to have found a certain cure
by incubation of horse blood for drunk
enness, as we'll as for transmission of
hereditary faint of alcoholism. D. Evelyn
began his investigation while a surgeon
in the British army in Zululand, and he
selected the horse as a clean animal
with plenty of blood
His cure is on the same lines as Jen-
ner'S vaccination remedy, and he as
sertS twill not only kill the craving for
drink, but 1t will relieve the children of
a drunkard from hereditary taint,which
he calls constitutional alcoholism. The
substance which he obtains by injecting
alcohol in to the blood of a horse he
calls equ1S1ne, and it is this he intro
duceS into the human system. The doc
tor thoroughly introduces alcohol into a
horse, and then draws off the blood into
sterilized vessel where it is mixed
with choral to influence the clot.
After settling "a hours, it is subject
ed to freezing process, then shaken
suit is a slightly sticky, pale, straw
colored fluid which he calls equisine.
What vaccine has been to smallpox,
equisine will be to hereditary or ac-
CURED alcoholism, he says.
Equisine is prepared in small plaques,
made by saturating bibulous paper with
fluid and then baking it in a hot-air
chamber The skin of the arm or leg
of a patient is sacrificed and the plaque
applied, mOistened with boiled water
Twelve hours later the plaque is again
molStened and applied, and is worn for
five days. In adult cases of alcoholism
the plaque is applied once a week for
eight or nine weeks. The doctor claims
to have been successful in all cases
where sedatlVes or narcotics were not

DAN STUART SAILS
For Europe and Will Exhibit the Yer
ascope Pictures There.

New York, Aug. Dan Stuart sail
ed for England today to be absent
three weeks. He took an electrician
with him and goes for the purpose of
arranging for the production of his
verascope pictures of the Fitzsimmons
COrbett fight.
Though a great deal has been said
to the contrary, it is a fact that Stuart
alone owns these pictures, and already
he has made a great deal of money out
of the scheme.
They will be produced in Montreal
this week, Stuart having been compell-
ed to plank down $500 in Canadian
government duties before his pictures
were admitted to that country. Billy
Brady owns the rights in the New
England states and this week starts
the ball rolling by producing the pic
lures in Newport, right he acquired
within the past few days.
Machines and pictures are also en-
route to Australia, Mr.. Rector having
that territory. The work of improving
the methods of producing these pictures
is progressing, and when Stuart opens
up the winter season in this city the
18th and several rounds will be shown
without a flicker.
So far 100000 feet of film have been
printed. The exhibition given in this
city at the Academy of Music early in
the spring, Mr.. Stuart said before sail
ing, had paid all the expenses of the
Carson City fight, the cost of taking its
pictures and manufacturing of ma
chimes, leaving a little to the besides.

property. Joseph Ball, who died intes-
tate. was interested in merchant ma
rine and some of his vessels were de-
stroyed by the French privateers. His

ESHE WAS DRIVEN MAD
By Girls Who Played Ghost-An On
happy Joke.

Rochester, N. Y, Aug. miss Ber-
tina Winsted, 10 years of age, is raw
ing maniac at the Rochester state hos
pital, her condition being the result
of a practical joke perpetrated by her
friend, Edith Holden.
A few days ago there was a gather
ing at the home of Miss Winsted and
several of her girl friends who stayed
at the house all night had been relating
ghost stories before they retired: The
nerves of Miss Winsted who is of a pc
cuIiarly sensitive temperament, be-
came unStrung.
After retiring Miss Holden and one OF
the other girls attired themselves in
sheets and entered Miss Winsted's
ROOM The girls, who were awakened
from sound sleep, were thoroughly
frightened. The girl who was sleep
ing with Miss Winsted finally quieted,
but the latter was hysterical and her
condition grew gradually worse until
physicians deemed it best to have her
removed to the state hospital for the
insane.

PROHIBITIONISTS AT SEA.
Talk of Nominating Ex-Governor Lar
rabee, in Iowa-He Will Decline.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. THE Prohi-
bitionists who have had a vacant place
at the head of their state ticket since
DR.. Eaton was found to be ineligible
for governor, have decided to offer the
place to eX-Gov. Larrabee of Cler-
mont.
Mr.. Larrabee is Republican, though
a Prohibitionist, and it can be stated
positively, his friends here say, that
he will decline to accept the nominal
ton.
The ex-governor has never been any
thing but a staunch Republican. The
situation in the Republican party for
the nomination for governor remains
unchanged. None of the candidates is
making any noticeable gains. Speaker
Byers is somewhat handicapped by a
second candidate in his district-Mr
Flickinger of Council Bluffs-but it is
believed he will withdraw.
John Cownie of Iowa county is quiet
ly making friends among the farmers
of the state and is likely to be quite
factor
. Present indications are that no one
will have as many as 400 votes on the
first ballot, while it will take TIA to
nominate.

BOMB EDAM CHEESE.
Chicago Man Finds a Suspicious
Looking Ball Done in TinfoiL

Chicago, Aug. Peter Wertz, a
wagon manufa cturer, 571 South Ash
land avenue, had visions of bombs and
anarchist riots when he discovered a
ball of tin foil in his fiat at 604 West
Twelfth street yesterday morning.
A liquid that looked like nitroglycer-
inc was dripping from the sphere, which
was about the size of a healthy bomb.
Wertz picked it up gingerly and car
ried it to the Maxwell street police sta
ton. The police are not yet decided
whether the contents of the ball are
nitroglycerine, or whether the whole
thing is a cheese gone into liquidation.
