OBITUARY.
Richard Malcolm Johnston, a Distin-
guished Lecturer and Novelist.

BALTIMORE. Md, Sept. 23-Col. Richard
Malcolm Johnston, the lecturer and novel;
list, died in this city this afternoon after an
illness of several months.
Colonel Johnston was born in Hancock
county, Georgia. on March s, 1922. Through
his mother, Catherine Davenport, native
of Virginia, he was descended from the dis
tinguished English family OF that name
who were among the early settlers of Con-
Eecticut. On his fathers side Mr.. Johnston
was descended from Rev. Thomas Johnston,
clergyman Of the Church of England who
came from Scotland and settled in Virginia.
He was the great-grandfather of the novel;
list. In 1873 William Johnston settled in
Georgia, and from him the Georgia branch
of the family sprang. Colonel Johnstons
early life was spent in Georgia. There he
was prepared for college and he learned his
classics at Mercer College, from which he
was graduated in 1s41. He taught for
time and then became a lawyer. In 1874 he
married Miss Frances Mansfield, who was
not yet sixteen years old. He became the
professor of literature at the Georgia State
University and afterward opened school
of his own. Next he removed to Maryland,
and there he taught until his success as
describer of ante-belum negro character
determined his life work that of letters.
The first stories that were written by Col.
Johnston were not intended for publication
but were worked out merely for his own
qualification. "Dukesborough Tales has
few equals in it's line and no superior in all
the wide range of letters devoted to de-
scription of the Southern negro. He pub
lished many of his stories under the pen
name of Philemon Perch in the Southern
Magazine. For these early efforts he re-
ceived no pay whatever, but this was made
up by the goodly sums his stories afterward
brought him. Besides "Dukesborough
Tales" he produced ''Mr Neelus Peelers
Condition." Studies, Literary and Social"
a History of English Literature" and
Life of Alexander Stevens"
Colonel Johnston had a family of three
sons, four daughters and a number of
grandchildren. He was a devout Roman
Catholic, a convert drawn to the church by
the bitterness he saw in a "Knownothing
campaign, and one of his sons is a priest
now in charge of a church at Hyattsville,
Md. Those who have known him well say
Malcolm Johnston.

The Criterion.

The Criterion.
The author of the intensely funny "Doo-
ley" papers, that are being copied by the
New York Journal, World and Sun as fast
as they appear in the Chicago Evening Jour-
nal, is one Peter Dunno, a Western journal
list of repute, whose habitual cast of coun-
tenance is as funereal as that of most news
paper humorists. 1t is a fact worth know
ing that Mr.. pooiey" has his living coun-
and portly Chicago tavern keeper whose
face and accent are things of exquisite Cell
tic beauty, and who. since the immortalizing
of his racial peculiaritieS by Mr.. Dunno,
has vowed that he will drown that writer
on sight with a seitzer siphon. AS the
young man does not drink, he is in no inn
mediate danger.
Mr. Dunno himself tells a story of his
metropolitan experience that is both anus
Gently on brief vacation he became inn
pressed with the advantages of the city and
was minded to stay here. BY way of a
professional experiment he dashed off a
''Dooley' sketch and submitted it to one
Of the great dailieS. 1t appeared promptly
on the editorial page and the young man
from Chicago began to feel his oats
A day or two later he met one of the
sages of Park Row. "Lo, Peter quoth the
sage, heartily, glad to see you. Didn't
know you were here. Say, / want to warn
you of something. There's some darned
thief on the - trying to initiate your
Dooley sketches One of em was printed
Indeed" responded the outraged author
OF the original "Dooley what sort of an
imitation was it?"
Rotten" declared the sage promptly,
simply rotten. Not a bit like you,' and he
strOlled away blithely.
so" confessed Dunno afterwards, II
thought that If could only initiate myself
and poorly at that--in New York, the West
was the best place for me-" And back to
Chicago he went.
The newspapers that regularly copy ''Mr.
Dooley' give due credit for the MASTER
pieces to the Chicago Evening Journal, but
never to Peter Dunno. Perhaps that is why
he looks so sad.

THROWN FROM HIS HORSE.
Son of Gen. Hazen and Nephew OF
Gen. Ludlow Fatally Injured.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-John Hazen,
twenty-one years old. of Washington. d.
c., was fatally injured while horseback
riding in Richmond turnpike. Tompkins-
vile, Richmond borough, late to-day. He
is a son of Gen. William H. Hazen, United
States army, deceased, and a nephew Of
Maj Gen. William Ludlow. United States
army. For eighteen months he has been
receiving treatment at DIR. Beers's sanitari-
UNI, at Stapleton, and two weeks ago left
that institution in the best of health. He
had since been stopping at the Mansion
House, on Wards hill
AS he was ascending the hill near Wood
stock avenue a large construction car of
the Staten Island Electric Companys line
came down at high rate of speed. The
horse baked and Hazen was thrown to the
hard macadam pavement, receiving a frac-
ture of the skull at the base of the brain.
The horse ran in front of the car was
struck and was killed Mr.. Hazen was
taken to the Smith Infirmary, near by, and
the physicians say his injuries will be fatal.
His mother was summoned from Washing
ton.

Boston Transcript.
A correspondent wants to know If he Is
singular in wondering whether patriotic
airs, and particularly recognized national
anthem, may not be played too often.
Says he:
"One wishes to thrill when he hears the
strains of the authentic be fired with pa
triotic emotions-yea, even to note a needed
stiffening of the eyelids to keep the tears
back. But this continual ding donging of the
air cheapens it. We say, as the first strain
floats out on the air. Once again. and
turn away impatiently instead Of standing
with reverently bowed heart until its close.
Can we not apply here, Let your modera-
ton be known unto all men? Or am |
malarialized-do I need tonic. or a brain
specialist? Is it only my grievance?
There is such thing as having too much
of good thing. We hung out all our flags
all the time, and consequently had no way
to celebrate victory or peace. 1t seems to
be a national characteristic. The papers
print ordinary events with the largest head
lines. and consequently can't scream proper
ly over sensation. They are always in a
frenzy. If we keep UP the frenzy of pa
triotism all the time, there is danger that
the frenzy will become a torpor. A ma
tional anthem ought not to be turned into a
national bore.

me bacterium which gives rise to typhoid
fever can also be recognized in the blood by
following well-known methods. We have.
furthermore, gained lately an important aid
TO our diagnosis of typhoid fever. This is
called Widals serum diagnosis and depends
upon the fact that the blood of an infectious
disease, even when largely diluted with
water. causes the bacteria which produce

which seldom fails. These microscopical
signs are doubtless of much value.
To a certain extent the treatment has
Deen the same for soldier patients Until
the exact diagnosis has been made between
typhoid and malarial fever they have re-
celved treatment adapted TO reduce the tenn
perature and relieve distressing or dam
gerous symptoms. Fever is allayed and the
patient rendered more comfortable by the
use or cold illusions.
In the Medico-C hirurgical Hospital we
have generally employed the ice pack in
temperature exceeding 102 degrees, or water
sponged upon the surface, the temperature
being that of water drawn from the spigot,
or about 6S degrees Fahrenheit. This cold
sponge Bath was alternated with the alcO-
hol sponge bath. used in the same manner
and allowed to evaporate. The evaporation
engenders a grateful GOODNESS which was
much appreciated by our patients and
which had a very beneficial effect. These
baths in ordinary cases will answer the
same purpose as the general bath and OBJ
viate recourse to the latter unless the fever
is very high and the nervous prostration
very extreme.
Another reason for exercising great care
in diagnosis relates to the diet of our pa
TENTS While typhoid fever runs we must
be on our guard against allowing the pa
tient any solid food. This is on account of
the weakened condition of the bowels. which
might easily be ruptured. Consequently,
while any doubt exists the patient is re-
stricted to milk. broth or some form OF
liquid food In typhoid this diet is contin-
ued until convalescence. In malaria the de-
mand for liquid food is less peremptory and
the patient may be allowed soft and nutri-
tious substances.
AS regards medicine in malaria, we have
one which possesses almost specific power.
l refer. of course, to quinine. In typhoid
fever we are not so fortunate. In typhoid
we depend principally on sponging, bathing
and diet. There is no specific remedy capa-
BILE of destroying the bacillus and cutting
short the attack. Drugs are given accord-
ing to the urgency of certain symptoms or
complications. Quinine must be our sheet
anchor in malaria.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Sept 23-Yes-
terday b. ID. Wydler, prominent resident
OF Montpelier, was arrested for robbery
Wydler has been the Waterman for stock
of farm implements stored in building
and owned by the Kimberlin Manufacturing
Company. Piece by piece the implements
have been disappearing, until almost the
entire stock had vanished, and no clew was
obtained until this week. A search war
rant was issued and Wydler's premises
were searched while he was attending the
warren fair. In his house and barn were
ever two drayloads of the farm machinery
ana ana all sorts of other property,
the ownership OF which has not
been determined The property is
valued at $1,000. Wydler is hermit and
has always borne a good reputation for
honesty and industry Among the prop
erty found were no less than a dozen trunks
filled with plunder, which has not yet been
examined. The officers believe Wydler is
fence for gang of thieves. The clew that
led to his arrest was obtained from the fact
that he had a prominent business man of
Montpelier sell two of the harrows for him
on commission at one-third their value.
The business man is a man of prominence,
of an old and respected family and some
very damaging evidence has been discov-
cred that will make it difficult for him TO
satisfactorily explain his connection with
the affair.

WASHINGTON, Sept 23.-It is probable
that if Agoncello and Lopez, the two repre-
sentatives of Aguinaldo, who arrived yes
terday at San Francisco, will call at the
White House on their way through Wash
ington to Paris, they will be admitted to
see President Mckinley. but only as indi-
viduals and not as representatives of any
government. The President doubtless would
be glad to hear any views these Fiipinos
might care to set forth, being fresh from
the islands and thoroughly acquainted with
the wishes of the insurgents But 1t would
be plainly impolitic and inconsistent for the
President, at this date, and pending the
conclusion of the peace conference at Paris
to allow it to be understood by according
a formal reception to the delegates, that
he had thereby recognized the Philippine
government as an independent nationality
His attitude towards the I'ilipinos would be
similar to that assumed by him towards the
Cubans.
AS the Filipinos have repeatedly by pub
lie declaration sought to convey the impress
sion that the United States representatives
in Manila have at some time during the
progress of the war recognized Aguinaldo
formal cooperation with him. 1t may be
stated that the government at Washington
Is unaware that any such thing has hap
pened Admiral Dewey who was in COM
mand of all the United States forces dur
ing the most critical period, expressly
cabled the secretary of the navy that he
had entered into no formal agreement with
Aguinaldo. If General Otis followed his in
structions, and of that there can be no
doubt, he also refrained from entering into
any entangling agreements. AS for Consul
General Wildman, any undertaking he may
have assumed with Aguinaldo must have
been upon his own personal and individual
responsibility and would be without a
formal standing, inasmuch as he had not
the express authorization from the State
Department absolutely requisite to negotia-
tons in such cases. Therefore, as the case
now stands. the peace commissioners are
free TO deal with the Philippines problem at
Paris absolutely without restriction beyond
that which might be supposed to rise from
a sense of moral obligation to avoid COM
hitting the Filipinos again into the hands
of their late rulers.
