Antonio Terry. the Cuban nabob, died at
his home, No l04 Champs Elysees, in Paris.
Antonio Terry was sincere in one thing
He did love Sibyl SanderSon-loVed her so
that he was willing to wait many years in
order TO give her his name and his millions.
SibyI Sanderson ought TO be very, very
rich. But it remains to be seen what riches
can do for her. In the spring of this year
she was stricken with paralysis. That was
in the first days of her honeymoon. She
and her husband had reached Nice, after
their wedding in Paris-the wedding made
possible by the death of Antonio Terry's
first wife. First came symptoms resent
bling those of brain fever. Then there was
alarming talk of paresis. The singers mind
wandered. She had grandose decisions
about international grand opera, with Sibyi
Sanderson for queen of Ii all. Finally it
became apparent that the woman whose

however somewhat recovered. and. though
she is still an invalid, her case is not hope

Here was further test of Antonio Terrys
sincerity. He rose to it, The man forgot
everything else in the succor of one af-

Cross could have shown greater devotion.

method of treatment calls for simultaneous
and intrayenous injections Of einnamic acid
and its derivatives, hetol and hetokresol.
The treatment has been abundantly tested
in the Karl and Olga Hospital. Stuttgart.
His notes show that tuberculosis. taken in
its first stages, was invariably cured by the
cinnamic acid treatment. with the aid of
dietetic and hygienic measures, continued

the opinion that the discovery is most inn

AS Christmas draws near, the Queen, 1t
is said, becomes child again in feeling. No
sooner does she return from Scotland than
quantities of novelties are sent to her from
Windsor for Inspection. The Queen is not
by any means a reckless dispenser of gifts.
1t is asserted that she has a marvellous
memory in this respect, and never bestows
twice the same article on the same recip
lent. Jewelry she Invariably gives 10 the
ladies OF her household, and the difficulty of
not duplicating this from year to year may
readily be seen. But she takes especial joy
in selecting presents for her small army Of

plain knitting, and often at Christmastide
she will have achieved quite a quantity of
woolen comforters, cuffs and other wearing
apparel. These she distributes among her
household retainers and old dependents,
though with certain distinct carefulness,
by no means scattering them broadcast.
Among these folk there are some to whom
she has given presents for almost half
century.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. october w.
There has been wide circulation given
to a story originating at the recent an.
nual encampment of the Grand Army OF
the Republic at Cincinnati that tne
Commissioner of Pensions had Called Ms
chiefs together and instructed them 10
disregard totally every application baseo
on deafness and rheumatism in the adJu-
dlcation of claims for pensions.
The Commissioner authorizes the rols
lowing statement:
/. No such instructions were given.
2. AS to deafness. the present medical
referee OF the bureau. DIR. J. +. Raub,
prominent Grand Army of the Republic
man, says there has been no change In
the adjudication Of claims for DEAFNESS
since the present schedule of ratings
which was approved as Of December \
1891. in connection with the act or Aus
gust "a. 1883.
8. AS to rheumatism, the present CHIEF
