CANNOT BEAR SIGHT OF FOOD.
Strange Malay of Woman Who Can
Neither Eat Nor Sleep.

4 case which is attracting much atten-
ton in medical circles in Hridgeto, \.
j., is that of Mrs. Ruth Jarvis, twenty
years old, VIII has not eaten anything
for nearly month. She is a resident Of
Nicholas street. living with her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. William wilson. She has
no desire for food, and refuses it at every
opportunity. DR.. Malley has been study
ing the case and can arrive at but one
conclusion, that it is a case OF hamilton,
the stomach having refused TO asSimilate
food and destroying all appetite for sub
stance.
Her mother said that three Years ago a
change was noticed in her daughters APP
! pearance, her appetite failed her, and
only stimulants kept her from total col
lapse. These symptoms disappeared un-
| Ill a month ago, when she refused to eat
| Not a mOrsel OF food would she eat, not
a drop Of water water would she tax e.
She knew no hunger aud had no thirst.
She talks inteligently until her mother
asked, Ruth, why don't you eat?' To
this question she replies, 81 don't
know"
Another symptom of the girls malady
is that she cannot sleep. A drug ged
slumber has been substituted once or
twice, but she cam sleep a natural
sleep. She will not re main in the din
ing-room while the family are eating,
The sight of food is very distasteful to
her and she criers, take it away please
do" Her adherence of food is among
the mysteries of her strange condition.
She has been affected by her inanition
and has wasted away considerably 1t
is said by her physician that she can ex-
list in this state for some time, but moth
ing can be done in the case. She does
not want anything done or any means
used to cure her, but is content to fast
and keep aw axe.

Something in Which Every Reader of The
News is Interested,
On account of the high price of wheat
flour is being greatly adulterated. Near
ly all the mills are putting from 20 to 80
per cent of meal in their flour. The ODE
lisk people now frankly admit that a
goodly per cent of their flour is meal. O..
A flour and meal mixture bakes a very
white biscuit, but for a genuine wheat
biscuit, not s. white but with all the
rising, sweet and baking properties due
a good flour, is combined in the Famous
Spotless now on sale by all the leading
grocerS of Da HsOn.
Parties selling this flour offer a reward
OF 500 % for every sack containing any
meal whatever. Another inducement to
get the trade educated to using genuine
wheat flour is a ticket found in an oc-
casional sack which entities the bearer to
a free sack of Spotless from the grocer of
whom it is purchased.

A NOTABLE VICTORY,
THE SPANIARDS BEAT AN IGN0-
MINIOUS RETREAT.

: OrY of the FIRST Battle OF the W AT oe-
tween the United states and Spain.
a Thrilling Account of the
Engagement.
First blood for the Yellow Kid! He
has Just won a brilliant victory IN Gu
ba, through the instrumentality Of
Smith. Everybody will understand. Of
course, that Smith revels in the prefix
of William Alden and the suffix con-
gresham, and that he halls from the
bailiwick of Grand Rapids, in the state
of Michigan. He is supposed to repre-
sent the third congressional district in
the house at Washington, but at pres
ent he is in Cuba for the purpose Of
permitting his sensibilities to be
shocked by the sutferings of the recon
centrados in order that he may describe
the sensation for the glory and the
profit of the yellow KID. The kid, in
cidentally, is paying Smiths expenses,
and presumably is making other &C.
acknowledgements to him in return for
the use Of his congressional weight and
influence, Meantime Smith is draw
ing his salary from the government,
just as If be were in his seat and look
ing out for the interests of his coun-
try at this most critical iuncture in
American affairs.
But to return to the story of the Vel
low Kids victory through Smith.
Smith went out to visit the starving
reconcentrados the other day, attired
in "a high silk hat and an immaculate
frock coat" This is the kids own de-
scription. The sight of Smith must
have been very filing to the hungry
Cubans. They were feasting their
eyes upon him, and he was permitting
himself to be shocked into paper-sell-
ing horror by them, when there was
an interruption to the delightful pro-
CeedIngs, which would have been good
for half a page of poster type across
the front of the Yellow Kids neWspa-
per Five Spanish soldiers arrived up
on the scene. They did not recognize
Smith. or this story would never have
been told: thew would have hean mar
alyzed with awe and admiration. Not
recognizing hirq, the soldiers came
close enough to brush against his GIN
maculate black frock coat - That Uas
enough to rile Smith TO the marrow
Was it not an affront to the DIGNITY of
the United States congress to have a
vile Spaniard rub up against con.
CHEESEMAN'S black frock coat? Had not
the pride of Grand Rapids been assault
ed? Was it not an insult to the gIori-
Gus yellow Kid bimgplf that his ranra.
sentative should have been touched INV
miscreants in Spanish uniform
But Smith was equal to the occa-
sion. There were five Spaniards and
only one Smith. The Spaniards were
armed with the regular EQUIPMENTS of
their kind, lille Smith. had only his
umbrella tightly rolled and in oiled
silk casing But what Of that? Isn't
one American armed only with an UNI
brella better than five Spanish soldiers
armed with rifles, reviewers and mo
chetes? Every true discIpIp of tba
Yellow Kid knows that to be a fact
and Smith was not only a discinla bnt
an exemplqr of yellow kidism. Hasti- |
ly forming himselfinto hollow snmara
Smith proceeded to surround the five
Spanish soldiers. So quickly and neat
" did he execute the manauvar tbat

When any part of the body isn't doing
the work that nature intended it to do,
it puts the whole system out of tune
out of harmony. Sickness in one part of

row down by upsetting one brick. That
is exactly what happens to the health
when the bowels fail to perform Their

Forty persons in all are in the building.

rigid quarantine is being maintained.
At this writing. only one of the cases
is said to be serious.
Whether there are any scattered cases
throughout the town is not known; but
this will be determined by house to house
inspection.
The marine hospital and local physicians
are confident that the disease will be con-
fined to the barracks, and that there is no
danger of an epidemic.
The utmost precautions are being OBJ
served. however, and State Health Officer
Porter, who arrived on the Mascotte to-
day, refused to permit that steamer to
leave the port on her return to Tampa.
He will tomorrow decide whether or not
a quarantine of Key West shall be de-
clared.
Later in the evening the Mascotte, which
carries ar immune crew. was allowed to
sail. but without any passengers.
