How Recent Fever Victim Pre-
vented hattie In Porto Rico.
The death of Lieutenant Mclaughlin
Of the signal corps, who died Of vel
low fever at Santiago, recalls a dram
attic incident in which he was one Of
the principal actors during the cam
pnign in Porto Rico.
Lieutenant Mclaughlin had charge
of a squad which h,jl,-.--a telegraph line
along the route Of fhe American adj
vance on the night of Aug 10. The
signal corps men could not Keep pace
with the advance of the infantry and
artillery in command of General
Brooke, and when the latter faced a
line of Spanish intrenchments the tele-
graph line was two miles in the rear.
At O'Clock Of Aug. 10 the message
came to Lieutenant McI.aughlin's sta
ton that the peace protocol had been
signed. There was no way to get to
Brooke but ride it, and the lieutenant,
accompanied by an orderly, started to
make the trip. Mounting his horse, he
started Mt gallop, and his ride will
go down in history as one Of the most
dramatic ever made on field Of
battle.
When he reached the lines of in
fantry that were supporting the ar
tillery, ne was told that the guns were
about to open fire on the enemy, and,
realizing that he had to be quick or the
battle would begin, and knowing the
consequences of such action after the
protocol had been signed, he sank his
spurs into the horse and went on, leay-
ing his orderly, who was mounted ON a
mud, far in the rear.
Still on he went, and before 1880
o'clock he reached the artillery battal-
ion and found General Brooke stand
ing beside one of Battery BIS guns,
while the gunner had his hand on the
lanyard ready 10 pull
The message was delivered, the fir
ing prevented, and what might have
been terrible battle stopped.
After the campaign closed in Porte

to Cuba, and was in service there unit

Oriental Judgment on MIXED Bnbies.
The Greek ecclesiastical authorities
at Aleppo have been called upon to de-
eide a case which strongly recalls Solo
mons famous Judgment. BY strange
coincidence II woman and her daughter
both gave birth to a female child Mt the
same time. But the babies got mixed,
and, as one of them was ugly and the
other pretty and healthy. both mothers
claimed the latter. The elder woman
maintained that, as all her other chill
dren were handsome, the ugly child
could not be hers, while her daughter
claimed that, being young, handsome
aud strong, she could not be the moth
er of Il weak and ugly babe.
The religious chief of the town set
tied the affair III a summary way. He
adjudgcd tue beautiful child to the
daughter on the ground that, it being
her FIRST the occasion was not to be
uade one of humiliation and disap-
pontment. while the elder mother
could afford to forego her claim since
she had already had several handsome

MIKE KELLY BACK
FROM PHILIPPINES
Birmingham Boy Who Was Shot
Through Both Legs Returns
Home

Mike Kelley, a private in Company C,
Twentieth United States infantry, has re-
turned from the Philippines to his old home
in Birmingham. Kelley took part in three
engagements, and in the last was Shot
through both legs and practically disabled
from doing hard work the balance of his
life. When this Alabama soldier fell from
a Filipino bullet it was at first thought That
both legs would have to be amputated. By
skillful work, however, the army surgeons
succeeded in saving both limbs. The lead
ers in one leg are badly drawn, and The
young man wears cork heel. Being dis
abled from further service as a soldier
Kelley was discharged and sent home. He
will be pensioned by the government in a
comfortable sum for life.
Young Kelley talks interestingly of his
experience in the far away islands, and
says that the Filipinos are harder fighters
than they are given credit for. Among the
relics he brought back is a walking-stick
made from the spinal column of a whale.
The cane is painted brown and is highly
polished, making beautiful souvenir.

Alderman Heidi Talks Frankly
of What Was Seen.
SOMETHING MUST BE DONE At ONCE
DR.. Sholl, Chairman of the Health Board,
Says it is the Paramount Gu estion
Before the People-SupeI.n-
tendent Lynn's Card

The existence of an unusual amount of
typhoid fever in the city has brought about
an investigation of THE water supply of the
city, which will probably result in AN Of
fetal report from the board of health call
ing for quick and decided action on the
part of the Water Works company.
The matter was brought to the attention
of the city authorities by the board of
health, and on Monday morning a confer
ence between Mayor Drennen, the police
and sanitation committee of the city coun-
Gil and Drs. E. H. Sholl and Cunningham
Wilson, of the board of health, was held at
the city hall, when the situation was care
fully gone over
DIR. Sholl, who is chairman of the health
board, presented the case plainly, stating
that there was some special cause for the
unusual number of cases of typhoid fever.
He attributed the existence of the disease
to either the water or milk supply, and
suggested that an investigation be made.
1t was also decided to have an analysis
of the water made to ascertain the amount
of animal matter it contained.
The water company was not apprised of
the conference nor of the proposed inves-
tigation, and on Thursday Mayor Drennen,
Alderman C. c. Heidi, City Engineer Ken
drick and DIR. Cunningham Wilson, secre-
tary of the board of health. quietly left the.

The Condition of Affairs
Mayor Drennen was seen yesterday by an
Age-Herald reporter but was not inclined
to enter into any detailed statement of
conditions as he found them, stating that
he preferred that the matter come up in
the form of an official report from the
health board.
He stated that conditions were bad, and
that some step was necessary to bring
about a change, emphasizing his contention
that the water should be filtered.
Alderman Heidi spoke freely on the sub
ject, and stated that in his opinion a very
dangerous condition of affairs existed at
the pumping station where the investiga-
ton was made.
