REMARKABLE CASE.
Man Dies From Consumption Con-
tracted From Diseased Cattle.

SAN JOSE. Nov. PA death oc-
CURED at Gilroy yesterday afternoon
which is destined to attract wide at
tention from the medical profession
The case also presents important facts
for the general public. The death was
that of Elmer Rives, a man % years
of age. Another man, Burt Haley, is
at the point of death at Gilroy with the
same disease, tuberculosis
A couple of years ago the two men,
as hale and hearty as any in the valley.
were engaged to kill and dissect cattle
affected with tuberculosis condemned
by DR.. Spencer, at that time Veterinary
Inspector. There is little doubt that
the germs from the affected cattle
spread to the two men, as in neither
family has there ever been the least
taint Of consumption.
DR.. Clark of Gilroy, who has attend
ed Rives, says that there can be no
doubt but that he contracted the con-
sumption from the cattle which were
killed.
When the tuberculin test was being
applied in this county there was much
objection. Where cattle were con-
demned by the veterinarian after the
test they were always killed and in
spected. if the test said the animal was
diseased. Rives and Haley, who killed
them, would Immediately cut open the
cattle to see if the tubercules were
there.
DR.. Clark says that while the men
were engaged over the steaming car
cass the fumes arose and inoculated
them with the dread malady Haley is
still alive. but low.
Rives was an athlete, with no trace of
any disease, weighing about 200 pounds,
and full six feet high. He was one
of the most popular and widely known
young men of the south end of the
county. His funeral will be held to-
morrow at Gilroy.
The disease appeared in both men
about seven months ago, and progressed
rapidly. 1t is said there is no hope for
Haley's recovery.

THE BATTLESHIP KENTUCKY.
OFFICIAL TRIAL OF THE RIG
WAR VESSEL.
Develops an Average Speed of Six
teen and Eighty-One Hun
dredths Knots an Hour.

STRAITSMOUTH, ROCK P o r T
(Mass.), Nov. 24.-The new battleship
Kentucky started on her official speed
trial at 10:2605 a. M, over the regular
course off here. The weather was ideal
and the speed conditions could hardly
be improved upon. There was heavy
ground swell making in, as the result
of the strong northeast blow of yester-
day, but it did not appear to have much
effect on the big warship.
AS she neared the start her speed
was increased, the combination of a
forced draught and the soft coal send
ing great volumes of dense black smoke
Quickly she came down to the line at
and with sharp blow of the whistle
the Kentucky was off.
Straight as an arrow the vessel ran
for the first mark boat, the battleship
Texas, which was passed at 1851 30.
Twenty-Five minutes and twenty five
seconds had thus elapsed, during which
the vessel had made &C miles, show :
ing a speed of 1851 knots per hour.
The Kentucky's sister ship, the Kear-
sarge, covered the distance in % min
utes 81 seconds, a speed of 1880 knots.
The Kentucky, "a minutes and 40 Sec
onds later, or at 11:16:1O, was abreast
of the second mark boat. Over this
distance she showed a speed of 16.05
against 1850 made by the Kearsarge.
The tide and wind were both against
the Kentucky on this run. 1t was pre-
dicted that on the return she would
show better speed, as the wind and tide
favored. At 11:4S she was hull down
on the horizon, her position being indi-
Gated only by her immense smoke trail.
A few minutes after l o'clock the
Kentucky was seen returning. AT
| 81 40 she passed the Mayflower, 1902
knots from the finish. At that hour the
wind had died out completely, and the
sea was smooth. When the time was
taken as the vessel passed the May
flower it showed she had steamed 3
hours 25 minutes and 40 seconds since
the start. By deducting the time con-
sumed in turning, placed at 21 minutes,
the estimated actual time up to the
mark is 3:O4:4O, which would indicate
an average speed of 17.15 knots. This
made it practically. certain that the
speed of the Kearsarge would be OUT
done, and if the speed was maintained
to the finish the Kentucky would hold
the record for this course.
The kentucky passed the Texas at
2:1S:O5, and at 2:42:30 she crossed the
finish line, the last leg showing speed
of 1921 knots The total elapsed time
since starting was 4:16:30. Deducting
81 minutes, the estimated time of the
turn, the actual time of the run was
3:J5:3O. giving an average speed of
1851 knots per hour. The last two legs
We're apparently slow, and cut down the
average for the entire run somewhat.

TROUBLE IN SAMOA.
Some of Mataafa's Chiefs Create
Disorder Near Apia

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Official ad-
vices from Samoa, just received here,
state that another dangerous crisis
with the natives recently occurred, and
preparations were made to land British
blue Jackets.
Some of the thirteen native chiefs,
with their Mataafan followers, assem-
bled at Vainos. not far from Apia, and
began a disorderly agitation. The
place is the home of Tamasese, one of
the former aspirants of the throne who
used his influence to keep down the dis
order. Several hundred natives were
engaged, and there was considerable
fighting, but it did not go beyond noise
and a number of broken heads. The
natives were finally pacified, but it has
served to direct the attention of the
officials in Samoa to the rather delicate
and dangerous status Of affairs.

in the immediate modes. Vicuna is
so useful that we are all glad that it
remains with us, and matelasse is come
back again after somewhat new order
with check effects. Fancy spots figure
on useful whipcord. and in all these
there is no particular run of any one
color good many of the stuffs have
self-colored spots, and these are spe-
cially introduced on the material or
woven of the cashmere yarn. There
are shot coatings with pin spots in
color or black and vice versa and the
newest stripes are of the very finest
hair order. Our market is flooded for
the moment with materials of tartan
mixtures and there is a great feeling
for Scotch tweeds. Amazon cloth,
which is certainly most fashionable in
plain colors, has been brou~ht out with
pin stripes admirably suited to bicy-
cling gowns. Shepherds plaids In red
and white black and white. brown and
white and navy and white are selling
freely for skirts to wear with plain
cloth Jackets. Automobile is a color
which has found great deal of favor
in Paris and now has come to stay in
America. The jacquard wearing is
still the mode, f1eecy and rough on the
surface, showing a sort of brocade; and
an Amazon coating with black spots,
city of the moment. A great deal of
black is to be worn with contrasting
colors, and colored poplins with black
silk stripes. especially in castor brown.
On some of the cashmere grounds the
spots are in marked contrast, for ex-
ample, rose and flame color, gray and
blue, green and black. or green and
white and stone on white. A new make
of cashmere in black has open work
lace stripes, with an interviewer color
beneath like wool. Another novel fab
rio has mixture of wool and silk in the
proportion of 81 of silk and three of
wool, and some of the stripes show a
tinselled effect. Vivid colored CASH
meres are woven with black chenille
spots. We are in a measure returning
to tie art colors. Light blues, washed
out greens and a certain tone of ma
genta are powerful rivals to the pastel
shades, and, light though they are,
have a following in the cloths prepar
ing for winter. We must bear in mind
that chenille has very important place
in the autumn fashions. Many of the
clothes have stripes of chenille, and one
of the novelties is a wooden terry with
speckled chenille effects, good looking,
but possibly not good wearing. An
other chenille cloth in the weaving is
closely allied to astrakhan. White che
mile spots appear on red, and red che
mile on black grounds and on vivid
green, while the fancy figured silks also
display chenille spots. A good deal of
white corduroy is to be worn, many
reps and many robes. and black and
colored stuffs with ribbon embroidery.
A great feature is the thick make of
crepons. They are a mixture of wool
and silk, and this in the wearing gives
them blistered effect. The tones are
brown and prune, a color that is COM
ing to the fore and likely to establish
itself, together with blues. resedas and
watercress greens.
