TURNING TO BONE.
Strange Fate of Aaron Palmer at a
New York Hospital.

Aaron Palmer. the man undergoing
os~sification of all his soft tissues at Ford
ham hospital, says the New York Jour
nal, has a unique existence these hot,
weary INN days as he lies stoically
watching the slow process Of extinction
which is converting him into the simili-
tude OF a STATUE.
The only thing that can give real in
terest to his life now, beyond the agoniz-
ing calculation as to how far off death
may be, is the eager curiosity of scien-
fists as to his case.
Probably no patient who has ever So
journed in a New York hospital has been
the object Of so much learned attention
as he has.
Yet even this may seem fiat, stale and
improbable to him in the oyershadow-
ing presence of the infinite problem of an
after existence.
Aaron Palmer is reasonably cheerful
under the circumstances. He does not
complain; he does not bemoan his fate.
There is a certain compensation in his
malady. II lessons the nervous sensibili-
ty. Those parts which it has begun to
~metamorphose are painless. He lies in a
state of physical drowsiness-that is,
the body consciousness is vague and
faint, although the mind may still be
alert and keen.
Every muscle, even where ossiication
has not yet declared itself, has lost some
thing Of its elasticity. The movement
of the jaws in eating is heavy and forced.
He is fed with the greatest regularity
and as frequently as is compatible with.
the proper administration of medicine to
him. The assimilating function Of the
body must be made to resist its inevita-
bic arrestation as long as possible. In
his case the digestive apparatus Is the
very citadel of life.
1t is odd to think that this man who
is rapidly turning into stone-calcareous
stone, for bone is chiefly lime-should
have appetite; but he has. He is chiefly
supplied with ~farinaceous foods. No
meats or pastries are offered him.
For breakfast he is allowed a small
bowl of oatmeal and milk. a piece of
toast and sometimes a cup of cocoa.
His luncheon consists of a glass of milk
and a little fruit. His dinner is very
much the same as breakfast, except that
occasionally he is permitted to take a
small quantity of beef tea.
Palmer, when in full health, was Of
large frame and powerful build. Today
his limbs are shriveled and he is abso-
Iutely helpless. He Is treated every day
by the massage method and with cleo
tricity, repeated currents Of which are
passed through the ossified portions Of
his body.
The chief internal remedy given him
is bichloride Of gold, the cost Of which is
about $1.50 a single dose. He is prob
ably the most expensive patient ever
treated in the charity department of the
city of New York.
For many years Palmer was a sufferer
from rheumatism and drank heavily.
Four months ago his e~xtremities began
to ossify. At first he noticed a slight
stifening of his joints. The disease
made rapid progress, and in a few weeks
he was unable TO walk. The limbs that
have become hardened are as firm Inc
white as marble. They are as stiff as iron
bars. They might be cut, sawed or burn
ed without his suffering any pain.

mizzen went, carrying all with it, and the
last hope of saving he ship vanished.
For the drowning men and women there
seemed only death ahead. The huge

ed to him the Cross of the Legion Of
Honor for his work during the commune,
he declined it, saying that he could
never bring himself to wea a decoration
awarded for the shedding Of French
blood in a civil war.
There is no officer in the French army
who has ever done less talking than De
Gallifet. His life has been throughout
one of action since he became a nlno
soldier. There is nothing that he abomi-
mates so much as those spouting gen
erals who are the curse of the French
army. To this he owes that very cap
tivating, but in recent times mol alto
gether appropriate, nickname of La
Grande Muette."
The positive character of General de
Gallifet is indicated in a letter which he
recently sent to the various generals, in
which he expresses regret that he has
had to assume public Office, hut explains:
Il am greatly honored and not at all
frightened, and | beg you not to forget
that | am responsible for the chiefs Of

me for all that occurs in their commands.

BEAR Fights IN ITALY
New Sport introduced by the
Pfince Of Molfetta.
DELIGHT FOR KING AND COURT.

Fresh Outlet For the Natural Say
agery Of Man-Dnngers Fairly Di-
vided Between thE Human and An
fmal Contestants.
Bear fighting has become the new ma
tional sport Of Italy, according fe Z
correspondent of the Philadelphia Times
The origin was accidental. Some time
ago the young Prince of Molfetta bought
a baby bear from a Karpathian hunter
If he had been a peasant instead Of a
prince, it is probable he would have
trained his savage pet to dance to the
music of a .hurdy gurdy- In that case
it is not improbable tina the bear and his
master would be in the streets Of Phil
adelphia at this very moment, tempting
pennies from small boys in knickerboeks
ers and little girls in pinafores. But, be-
ing a prince, and a prince Of muscular
attributes, with a prineely ambition for
their display under more ~congenial con-
ditions, Molfetta taught his young bear
to fight mimic battles with his young
master.
The bear was trained to stand on his
hind legs and fight according to the strict
rules of the prize ring II was a serious
business, the education of this young
bear-serious for the bear and serious for
the athlete. Many were the scratches
his bearship inflicted upon the prince
ling before the former learned to recog-
nize the noble rules formulated by 3
Marquis of Queensberry. In time, how
ever, the bear and the man were ready
for public exhibitions of their prowess,
but even now il is necessary TO place q
man with a lasso in enc corner OF the
arena TO draw off the educated bear ie
in one of his momentary lapsesa into
the savage state there is danger that he
will substitute a blow or the death deai-
ing claw of the man killer for the mus
cular hug Of the wrestler. MI
While bear lighting, as it Is now prac1
tieed in modern Italy. is not a mere exhi-a
bition Of the one sided cruelty Of bear
batting, that delighted Englishmen ia the
glorious days of the great Queen Bess. ri
is lacking in the thrilling interest Of thel
gladiatorial contests with wild beasts that
were so highly appreciated in ancient
Rome. In the Italian bear Sight the in1
terest centers in the momentary danger
to the man. In the Roman arena tha
man was a slave, and the interest was
concentrated in the delight Of seeing hiu

home near Hartford, where he has a
beautiful estate, Fenwick hall. He was
born in Savannah 40 years $50. He is
the son of the late Captain Robert Err
win and a grandson of General James
Erwin of Erwinton, Barnwell district,
S. C. He has one brother, Captain
James B. Erwin of the United States
army, who was recently stationed in At
lanta as inspector general of state troops.
His mother now ives at the isle of Hope,
near Savannah.
His early education was received in
Savannah, after which he graduated
from Trinity college, Hartford. After
graduation he returned to Savannah and
began the study of law in the Office of
Hartridge & Chisholm. After the death
of Colonel Hartridge Mr.. Erwin became
Judge Chisholm's law partner, the firm
being known as Chisholm & Erwin.
Judge Chisholm at that time spent most
of his time in New York as leading coun-
sci for Mr.. Plant and as an kflicer Of the
Plant system. With his natural abilities
and u~nyielding energy it, of course, fol-
lowed upon Judge Chisholm's death nine
years ago, that Mr.. Erwin should succeed

Twice has the hangman's moose been
woven for John Davis for a murder that
he swears he did not commit and of
which he has been ~exonerated by those
who say they committed the deed. Twice
be has assembled the scaffold in the Jail
yard Of Albion, Cassia county, Ida, UNI
der sentence of death, and twice he has
been reprieved at the last moment be-
cause there was doubt of his guilt. Even
now he stands beneath the shadow of the
gallows, with the grip OF the executioner
almost upon his throttle, only a legal
technicaIity between him and death-the
last resort of his attorneys-an appliea-
ton for a writ of habeas corpus IN the
federal district court.
Davis is a cowboy of the western type,
m e~nterprising spirit who has traversed
the globe in search of adventure, says
the San Francisco Examiner. He gained
the sobriquet of Diamond Field Jack
by his exploits in South Africa, but, tir-
ing of other sources eff excitement, he
abandoned the attractions of foreign
lands and returned to the life of a vague
70 among the wilds of the Pacific slope,
and until his arrest three years ago he
rode the cattle ranges of the Sparks
Harrell company. the ranges reaching
from Nevada far into Idaho, a distance
of over 100 miles.
It was while Davis was visiting the
Sparks-H farrell range that the killing of
