Treatment Tint saved Maine Man
From Death by Lockjaw.

Treatment Tint saved ~ Maine Man
From Death by Lockjaw'
The Lewiston (NIc.) Journal has an In,
tercsting story of how one man was cured
of lockjaw in the oldcn days, before tho
modern and moro successful treatment ~
antitoxins had become known to the
physician. Isaac Rich had cut of the end
of an index finger, and, after the wound
had hcon dressed and he thought he was
on the road To recovery, lockjaw develop
cd. DR.. John Lincoln, tho family physi-
clan, who had treated him, broke the news
" Rich and told him of his imminent
danger of dying.

hanged il l amt sorry for you and no
turnnd away quickly, for he was very fond
of Rich, and-woll, it isn't pleasant work

ticcd medicine.
"But, Ike" he went on, "thcres ono

know as it will do any good, but 1t can't
do any harm, for you have got to die any
way"
The doctors agreed that the experiment
would not cndanger the patients chances,
since he must die in any case, and they
expressed willingness 10 assist their col
league in the undertaking.
Turning the patient face down, they ran
stream of spirits of turpcntino down the
channel which the ribs make where they
join the spine and then touched a lighted
match TO the spirits. The blaze sped down
the spinal column almost like train OF
gunpowdcr. DIR. Lincoln was keeping an
anxious hand on the muscles beneath the
arms. As the flames died out the muscles
showed no signs of relaxation.
A second time they sent the fire down
the channel This time the flesh was
showing raw, but still there was no move
ment in the rigid muscles.
"Woll try il once more, said the doc
tor, ''and then If there is no change we
must acknowledge that we aro beaten"
Grimly they lighted turpontne for the
third timo and watched it burn its way
down the raw and bleeding flesh of the
patient.
This time the long tense muscles gave
way, and DIR. Lincoln dropped tho arm no
was holding and shouted;
"Iko, by gum; you arc going to liver

From this timo on Mr. Rich continued
to gain steadily, and within few weeks

wounds along his spine nothing was used
but the raw spirits of turpcntine. When
he recovered his powers of speech, Mr.
Rich was asked about his sensations dur
ing the fiery ordeal through which ho
passed. Tho first time, he said, he felt
absolutely nothing. Tho second time it
seemed as though some ono had lightly
drawn feather down his back, but the
third time he experienced all the agonios

Philadelphia, July 1S.-A bomb was

the past week, and it's explosion has
spread CONSERVATION into the ranks of
the party wreckers throughout the
commonwealth. Representative Ward
r. Bliss, of Delaware, in an authorized
public statement, declared that the leg

that Colonel Quay would then be re-
elected to the United States senate.
Bliss was admittedly the most adroit
and aggressive fighter on the insurgent
side. He presided over both of the
rump meetings held in the hall of the
house, once to denounce General Co
bin, the presiding officer of the Joint
assembly, and the other to arraign
Speaker Farr. These spectacular dem
onstrations, if they accomplished moth

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md, November l, 1890.
The republican managers in Allegany,
the home county of Gov. Lowndes express
themselves as more than pleased with
the local situation. All signs go to con-
firm the belief that Gov. L0wndes major
ity will be as high as 1t was in 1S95-about
1,S0O. The Mines where the large republic
can majority is rolled up, are reported very
enthusiastic, the visit Of Theodore Roose-
welt having done much to stir up interest.
Meetings since conducted by local speakers
at the various mining towns have been
largely attended, and much enthusiasm has
been shown. The county candidates are
working very hard, and this means heavy
vote, which the republicans say will be to
the advantage of the state ticket.
The republicans claim the colored vote
will be practically solid Tor Lowndes, the
alleged democratic scheme of disfranchise-
ment having solidified this class for the re-
publican party. The colpred vote in this
county has increased nearly 100 over last
year IA
Probably the most important, as well as
significant, event s6 far lin the local cam
paign has been the coming out of the Cum
berland Daily Independent for Lowndes
This paper haG until Monday pursued a
neutral course. Joseph B. Finan, the ed
itor, is a free silver democrat, and two
years ago was the nominee of his party for
the state senate. Mr.. Finan says that
aside from the fact that the governor is
resident of Cumberland, and has given
an admirable administration, he would pre-
fer him. because 1t Is known where he
stands on the money question, while on
this vital matter the democratic candidates
have no expression. The pronounced free
silver men here are advocating a cut of
Isidor Rayner, democratic candidate for
attorney general, because of his advocacy
of gold in the campaign of 1896 and his al
legged violent denunciation of Bryan and
silver men generally.
Senator Wellington, who announced his
personal opposition to Lowndes is doing
| nothing against the ticket, and is advising
his friends to vote as they think best
Many of his warm personal followers are
working hard to ecc-re the election of Gov
Lowndes.

Increase of the Business of the General
Land Office.
Annual Report Showing is Creditabl
to the Systematic Methods
Employed.

The present report of the commissioner
of the general land office shows a consider
able increase in the business and the
amount OF work performed by that bureau
during the last fiscal year, ending June 50,
1899. During that year surveys were COM
pIeted and accepted covering 9,s42. AIS acres
of public lands This is an increase OF s.
6O5.044 over the preceding year. and is, per-
haps, in part due to the efficient work Of
the corps of experts whose duty 1t is to
examine these surveys in the field before
they can be accepted for the government.
This branch of the work has been expe-
ditiously performed-so much so that in
some instances surveys made during the
resent season have been examined and
will soon be approved-something that has
seldom. if ever, occurred before in the his
tory of the office
During the year 9,1s2. 16 acres of pub
lie lands were disposed of, being an in
crease Of 1, }34 2s,6 30 acres over the year
1897. and I2S.516.24 over the year 1898.
The total cash receipts of the office for
last year were 5000, "a, which is an in
crease of $3.50 206.O8 over 1897 and S192,-
l42 16 over 1898.
During the year "a, 4O7 agricultural pat
ents were issued. being an increase of 4, 104
over the previous year: while there were
lip mineral patents issued, being an in
crease of 627 over 1897 and 453 over 1898.
Time has been greatly shortened in the Is
sUance of patents and delays avoided
Amount of Labor Involved.
Some idea of the vast amount of labor
involved In the transaction of this very
large volume of business can be obtained
from consideration of the fact that there
were 153,947 letters received by that bureau
during the year, being an increase Of SO. 231
over year before last, and 81, 203 more than
were received last year.
There WERE during the year 1899. 127 ,22S
communications, consisting of letters and
decisions. prepared and sent out from the
office. This is increase of 15,66S over
1897, and Is. OBS more than last year.
This large number OF communica tons
| does not include about 5000 postal cards,
which, under the practice inaugurated by
| the present commissioner, were sent out
| after December H. 1898, Immediately upon
! the receipt of letters addressed to the office
