THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
When Does the Twentieth Century
Beginf


Beginf
Is 1t in 1900 or 1901?
This is the question that at present Is
puzzling the inquisitive mind.
The last day of the year 1900 is the end Of
the nineteenth century. and the 1st Of jan
uary, 1901, the first day of the twentieth
century-so says Camille Flamarion.
The twentieth century therefore will be-
gin at midnight December 31st.
The Asiatics will begin 1t before the
Europeans, and the Europeans before the
Americans. Madrid will be in advance Of
Washington. and Spain will enter the
twentieth century before the United States.
What record the nineteenth century will
leave behind her! An era that opened with
Napoleon, that developed the wonders of the
railway. the steamship. the telegraph, the
telephone and gas, and that reaches its
apothesis in electricity.
If America. owing to her position on the
map, does not head the line of the tri-
umphal procession of nations entering the
portals OF the new century, she certainly
takes precedence Of the whole world. by the
marveis Of her vast industries and scien-
tific discoveries, and in the production of
the most potential OF all remedies-DUF-
FY'S PURE MALT WHISkEY.
The formula was discovered in 1860 by
one of the worlds most famous chemists.
This great whiskey has saved the lives Of
thousands of people who were apparently
doomed by that dreaded Of all diseases-con-
sumption. For forty years Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey has stood the most crucial
test Of doctors and chemists and is today
recognized and endorsed by the best au-
thorities in the medical profession as the
greatest known stimulant and tonic on ac-
count Of its absolute purity and medicinal
properties.

Warned by the Commissioners.
The Commissioners have directed let
ter to Col. George Truesdell. President of
the Washington Traction Company, calling
his attention to the fact that the cars on
the Georgetown and Tenleytown road have
been very heavily loaded with freight sew
eral times lately and that as this is viola
tion of the Law they would like to have him
see that the offence is not repeated.
The matter was brought to the attention
Of the Commissioners some time ago when
an accident occurred at the terminus of the
road, and the company was subjected to
much criticism on the part of the citizens.
At that time the Attorney for the District
held that the railroad company had NO right
to haul freight in the daytime, when the
cars were supposed to be used exclusively
for passengers.

POISONED AND DELIRIoUs.

Says He Wanted. to Die.
Abraham Springsteen, forty-nine years
Of age, whose home is at 1O1i Twenty-sec-
ond Streets northwest, is patient at the
Emergency Hospital suffering with what
is supposed to be delirium treniens. He
was received at the institution shortly af
ter o'clock this morning, when he devel-
oped symptoms of laudanum poisoning. A
farewell letter and an empty laudanum
vial found in his pocket indicate that he
had contemplated suicide. and strengthen
the belief that he had taken poison.
Springsteen was found wandering about
the grounds at the White House. His &C.
tions were peculiar and attracted the at
tention of Sergeant Bryan. of the police
squad stationed at the Executive Man
sion. He talked with Springsteen, and be-
came convinced that all was not right
with the stranger. The mans talk was
incoherent. and he acted as though under
the influence of a drug.
Sergeant Bryan lost little time in sum-
moning an ambulance, and sending
Springsteen to the hospital. There the
man lapsed into comatose state, and was
with difficult brought out Of IT,. s..s -
The poisoning symptoms finally disap-
peared and in their stead a well-devel-
oped case of what the physicians believe
to be delirium tremens manifested itself.
After several hours. Springsteen rallied.
He did not wholly recover. His incoher-
ent talk continued. and he insisted that
he wanted to die. The letter. which was
found in a coat pocket, was without an ad-
dress. 1t stated that the writer was out
Of work. and unable to provide for his
family; that he was in Ill health, and that
he was tired Of life, and wanted to die.

Dr. Ray and Mr.. SamuesOn"S hak-
ing OFF, Their Smallpox
BOTH WILL SOON BE OUT.
Former VIII be Discharged First
No Fear Of bingham
Now.

DR.. Beatty, secretary OF the State
board Of health. today said that the two
smallpox patients detained at the city
pest house at the mouth Of Parley's
canyon were doing exceedingly well,
and that one Of them-Dr. Ray--would
be discharged within a few days, and
that Samuelson. the other, would not
be under quarantine much longer
DR.. Beatty for a time, was fearful
that other persons who had come IN
contact with DR.. Ray before he report
ed his condition TO the officers would
be taken down with the disease, but he
now declares that the period OF suspi-
cion and danger has passed. He feels
particularly relieved with reference 10
Bingham, where Dr. Ray was prior TO
coming to Salt Lake, and says there is
now absolutely no danger OF smallpox
at that place so far as having contract
ed II from DR.. Ray is concerned, as the
malady was not sufficiently developed
to be contagious at the time he was
there,
DR.. Beatty has written to Rlehfeld
asking the health officer at that place
20 investigate the case OF the woman
who rode on the train with David Rich,
with View Of ascertaining whether or
not she had smallpox. Rich Is the man
who was spoken Of In the last evenings
News as being the individual for
whom the local health officers were
looking. He was located during the
evening and made II quite clear to the
officers that there was no danger from
his having ridden on the same train
with the woman 10 whom reference has
been made. He contends that the pes
tules upon her face were produced by
causes other than those arising from
smallpox, and the persons who have
investigated the case here are Of the
same view. But to make certain that
there Is no mistake in this matter, DR..
Beatty has written to Richfield as stat
ed.
The State board OF health has not yet
dispatched special physician 10
Wayne county. Dr. Beatty said today,
that the delay had been Occasioned by
lack Of knowledge here of the geogra-
ply OF the country The infested places
are very remote and only accessible by
traversing over rough and difficult
roads. The town Of Wales, which does
not appear upon the map and from
which a case Of smallpox was reported
few days ago Is situated ten miles
below Gainesville, 10 which point
physician may be dispatched within a
few days. II is just possible. however,
that an officer will not be sent there at
all This will be the case in the event
that assuring reports are received from
there In the near future.
Referring to DR.. Rays case. DR..
Beatty states that there would be no
occasion for fear on the part Of the
Salt Lake public when this patient Is
discharged. The eruptions on his body
have entirely healed and before being
discharged his skin will be thoroughly
scrubbed and dlsinfected. The dlsin-
fectent viii be In the nature OF an anti
septic solution which the doctor states
will be sufficiently strong to kill any
disease germ that might be found upon
his body.
