DESTITUTE CIRCUMSTANCES.


Pitifai Condition of the Family Of John
Ryan Who IL Insane.
The family Of John Ryan, a miner.
who was taken to the county jail yes
terday afternoon e await an examine
ton rs to his sanity. il In sorry circum-
stances on account Of his mental con-
dition. Ryan's mind has been more or
less unbalanced since last December.
Owing to the peculiar freaks his mind
would take at time it has been impos-
sible for him to hold a Job. and as q
consequence he has beer out Of en-
ployment most Of the time. and the
family becoming destitute. the wife
sought the advice Of physicians as to
what was best to be done with her
husband. She was advised to take him
TO a lower altitude and decided to take
him back to Michigan. where they for
merry ived in the town of Ironwood.
She was without means and the county
authorities provided her with transport
tatlon for herself and husband n their
-four children.
The wife made preparations to start,
and they were to have left night before
last, but about 6 o'clock in the even
ing Ryan was taken with another OF
his fits. He jumped up and ran out Of
the house, and returning in about an
hour chased madly from one room to
another and then left again before he
could be stopped. This time he did not
return and the start East had to De
postponed. Nothing was seen of the
man until about Midnight. when he APP
piled at the city Jail for lodgings and
was accommodated. There appeared
nothing strange in his actions and he
spent the night quietly at the Jail. In
the morning he asked to be released,
saying he worked at the Mountain Con.
and was allowed to go.
Some time later Mrs. Ryan appeared
at police headquarters and inquired IL
anything had been seen of her hus-
band. Ii was not known until h that
Ryan was insane. AS soon as CHIEF
Mulholland became acquainted with the
facts he instructed the officers to watch
for Ryan. and along in the afternoon
Jailer Boyle found him in the Califor-
MIA Brewery. He persuaded him to go
to the city Jail under the pretext that
he had left his pocketbook there. Ryan
remarked that he had left his prayer
book also and readily accompanied
Jailer Boyle. Once inside the jail he
was placed in a safe place until he
could be sent to the county Jail.
Ryan formerly worked at the Ana
conda mine. but conducted himself so
strangely that his shift boss feared he
would get killed and discharged him.
Later he was given work on the streets
by Captain Brannigan. One day. while
in the midst of his work. he dropped his
shovel and ran down the street and was
not seen for some days. When he came
back and was again put to work he
quit again I'm the same peculiar way. II
was after this that Mrs. Ryan was ad-
vised to take him East and prepared to
do so, but she is afraid now to attempt
the journey with him. She informed the
police that she and her children are in
terribly destitute circumstances. A
commission will inquire into Ryan's
condition. but he will probably be. sent
to the asylum.

TWO FUNERALS.
1t Is Possible That n Man Named Kelly
Also Perished In the 1 ire.

IL Is Possible That 70 Man Nanleu heIiy
Also Perished I'm the Ire.
The funerals of Martin Rooney and Dan
j.. Sullivan. whose remains were the last
to be found in the ruins of the Hale
house. were held yesterday afternoon.
Rooney's funeral was held from Sher-
mans undertaking rooms at 2 O'Clock. The
remains were escorted to the Catholic
church. where services were conducted by
Father DE Siere. and thence to the Cath
Ollie cemetery. where Father Smells read
the Catholic burial service. Rooney was
a native of Kingston. Pa. where his faith
err, mother and several brothers and sis
tiers still live. Nearly all the Pennsyl-
vanians In the city attended the funeral.
The funeral of Dan J. Sullivan was held
from Duggan's undertaking rooms. also
at 2 o'clock. A large turnout of friends
accompanied the remains to the Catholic
cemetery. With these last rites in honor
of the lead the six victims OF the fire
are laid at rest. and the final chapter In
the terrible disaster of March q brought
to a close, unless, ~perchance. another VIC
tim should yet be found. This is thought
not improbable. as II was learned yester-
day that another man has been missing
since the fire.
ID. ID. Kelly. or f. ID. Kelly. 1t was inn
possible to learn last evening which are
the correct initials, worked at the Ana
conda mine and lived at the Hale house.
He worked the day preceding the fire. but
has not been back to the mine since. and
II Is feared he. too. may have persisted.
II was believed at first that Kelly had
gone on a drunk the day after the fire,
but he did not turn up. Inquiry was
made, but no one was sure he had seen
him.
Mr.. Haggerty could not be seen last
evening. but his bookkeeper. Coils Camp
bell. went through the books. and could
find no such name as +. ID. Kelly. h
books, however, contained an account
with ID. ID. Kelly. who. IL Is learned. has
not been seen since the fire. and II Is pos
sIble tina he is the missing person. al
though Mr.. Campbell does not think SO.
as 1t is his recollection that ID. ID. Kelly
left for a ranch in the country about the
time of the fire. Until search of the de-
bris Is finished II will not be known
whether there is another victim.
The only thing of value found by the
workmen yesterday was the handbook of
John M%oynihan. the man who recovered
$40 i'm money and $500 in certificates of de-
post the day before. The book showed
Moynihan had s9s9. AZ on deposit. The
book was only slightly burned.

President Bigelow in his report says:
During the yea 1897 w have been
treating ores averaging . per cent less
copper than the ores treated In 1896,
and have not drawn on the higher
grade ores which are held in the re-
serves. but a w produced an amount
of fine copper equal to the product Of
1896. Improvements in machinery and
better methods have reduced the cost
of treatment materially.
"The ore reserves in sight at the end
of 1897 are much larger than at the end
of 1896. and will yield about the usual
amount of copper and silver per ton,
as will be seen by reference to the SUI
perintendent's report. This increase Of
reserves. and large construction ex-
penses. which have all been charged to
operating. have increased the expense
account, but we expect to receive large
benefits in the future from these out
lays. The stock of various grades Of
ores on han at the Great Falls works
is practically the same as at the be-
ginning Of the year.

MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA.
Tho Insects Are Held Responsible for the
Sprcnd Of the Uisense.

Professor Kochs discovery of the active
agency of the mosquito in the propaga-
tion of malaria, may lead to important
changes in the administration of quinine
for malarial affections. The discovery was
made almost accidentally. Professor Koch
was studying Texas fever in cattle. which
he found was transferred from one herd
to another solely by the bite Of a tick. He
infected sound cattle with ticks from dis
eased ones. and succeeded In immunizing
cattle inoculated with the ova of ticks
from cattle suffering from the disease.
Extending his Investigations to malaria,
he arrived at the conclusion that in the
case Of the human disease mosquitoes
play the part which ticks play in the cat
tie disease. 1t was found that wherever
there are mosquitoes there is malaria.
Conversely, wherever there are no mos
quitoes there Is no malaria. Treating cas-
es without quinine, Professor Koch ascer-
tained that in malaria, as in other fevers.
the temperature follows definite course.
BY examining the blood of q patient un-
der the microscope he was able to tell
from the nature of the microbes the pre-
else stage of the development of the dis
ease. This ability is of the greatest inn
pcrtance in determining the most advan-
tageous time at which to administer qui-
nine. DR.. Koch believes that ultimately
1t will be possible to administer quinine in
such Il rational and scientific manner as
to avoid the injurious consequences of the
quintne treatment. This and the estab-
lishment of health resorts in the noun
tains will rob tropical fever of many of its
terrOrS.

GENERAL WOOD.
Something About the Tralts of the Now
Governor of Santla1o

Governor Of SAINT laGo.
Outwardly, two men less alike thap
Wood and RoOsevelt-it would be
hard to imagine General Wood is
quiet and undemonstrative imperturb-
able beyond any man have ever
known. used to amuse myself some
times trying to conceive of some event
or combination of events, train Of dis
asters or flood of fortune that might
excite him, but ! never succeeded. He
has a magnificent physique. His chest
Is deep as that of one of Du Chaillu's
gorrillas, and his shoulders remind
one of the Farnese Hercules. He Is
said to be the best boxer In the army,
and the only white man who can tire
out an Apache Indian on the trail, AT
the landing ut Baiquiri saw him help
ing soldiers to land from the boat to
the jetty. One good ordinary sized
man hesltated to grasp the hand ex-
tended to him. whereupon Wood bent
over, grabbed him by the collar and
lifted him out Of the boat as easily as
though he had been kitten.
His military sagacity was first
proved In warfare against the Apaches.
The opportunity for distinction as n
tactician In the present campaign has
not been great, but such as it has
been he has made the most of it. He
certainly showed his talent for organ
ization at San Antonio. No detail was
trivial In his eyes. From reveille until
long after the bugles had sounded taps
he was constantly at work, and the
light in his tent was the last to be
extinguished. Throughout the day he
was omnipresent. his long, steady
stride carrying him from point to
point, from troop to troop, watching,
directing everything. If he had n re-
proof to administer he did 1t quietly,
almost gently, but every rough rider
in the regiment seemed to know intui-
lively that he was the last man in the
world to be trified with.
AS he was at San Antonio. so he was
at La Quasina, moving through n
storm of bullets from troop to troop,
issuing his orders in calm, even tones
and now and then standing and look
ing thoughtfully about him, his hands
thrust in the pockets of his riding
breeches. Roosevelt, on the other hand.

Of age and Is serious discomfort The
cases are rare when the falling out of the
