The son of the editor Of the Statesman
was one OF these who told Cen Marcus

Now that Coy. Roosevelt has taken
the subject OF prize fighting in hand 1t
may as well bs abandoned by its sup
porters In New York state There Is
now a law upon the statute books OF
that state the purport OF which is to
permit exhibitions Of boxing. sparring
and wrestling The distinction between
prize fights and exhibitions usually
made is that In one case no award or
decision Is made. A law somewhat IN
keeping with this was passed In New
York as q concession 10 the sporting
element, but IL has been taken advant-
age Of and brutal fights have been Of
frequent occurrence.
ANY such law. however wen meant,
is a mistake. 1t may be impossible to
stop such encounters altogether, but 1t
II better to relegate them TO remote
bounds and to otherwise place an ade-
auate stigma upon brutal and In

who revel In such cebasing amuse
ments want nothing short OF smashed
features and bloody bodies. II they pre-
tend to accept any law which restricts

cure many chronic diseases ordinarily

with the lymphs that have been en-

THAT was the trouble with Dr.

Roberts lymph is made from living

corpuscles removed from living issue

ferred to other tissue. In his expert

lymph alive for months after taking
them from the animal.
The lymph is taken from the goat
while it is yet alive. Goats are used
because they are the healthiest of all
animals and the main point is to Sc
cure the very healthiest cells,
Goats are especially bred for the

When they are about five or six
months old they are chloroformed and

CURIOUS DRUG TESTS.
Physicians Often Try Them on Dogs
and Other Animals.

Many physician, who has failed TO
get the expected effect from medicine
prescribed for patient, has thus been
led 10 suspect the strength OF the drug
on which he has relied. On the suppo-
sition that 1t possessed given purity
and qaulity, he would specify such and
such an amount as dose But IL ne
knew that the drug In question was Of
inferior quality, he would either In
crease the amount or use something
else. The honesty of the retail drug
gist who filled the prescription might
be entirely beyond doubt. Probably
he was imposed upon in making his
purchases from wholesale dealers
And until complaint was made by a
physician the druggist would remain
ignorant OF the deficiencies OF his
stock.
1t Is to be assumed that when ply
stefan indicates with care the precise
amount Of each of the different IN
gradients that shall enter into com
pound which he wants his patient to
take, and then dictates the exact inter
val at which the dose is to be admin
istered, the element OF mathematics
has formed an important part OF his
treatment OF the case. And II the
strength OF any one OF the drugs used
should be only one-half or one-quarter
as great as he anticipated, and had
right TO anticipate, the result would
probably be disappointing. The life OF
a patient, and perhaps the reputation
Of the practitioner, might be lost
through lack OF sufficient virtue In the
means employed for overcoming dis
ease. Yet the person who was really
TO blame, the jobber who had limo
Gently or knowingly sold inferior drugs
to the pharmacist who filled the pre-
scription, would not only escape pun
ishment, but also remain In ignorance
Of the consequences OF the transaction.

WHITE RULE WANTED.
A Revolt Against a Black Minority In
Santo Domingo

Andriano Grullon, representative
in New York OF the revolutionists Of
San Domingo, who is now in New
York, said to Tribune reporter:
This revolution is an effort OF the
white men to wrest the control OF the
government from the colored element.
Heureux was a negro; Figuereo is al
so negro, and practically all the men
in power are negroes. In short, the
negro is supreme in the government.
notwithstanding that the pure whites
OF the island-that is, those descended
from Europeans and Indians--compose
two-thirds OF the population. But
nero rule might have been tolerable
had not the negroes virtually under
tahen to drive the whites out. BY OPP
preston, confscation, imprisonment.
murder and what not, they have tried
to make the island place white man
could not live in. The white men, who
comprise also the majority OF the edu-
Gated, enlightened and liberal people,
have concluded TO take things into
their own hands and institute de-
cent government. Jiminez was on ex-
cellent terms with Heureux, but Jim
inez was the only Dominican whom
Heureux feared. JimineZ built canal,
diverted a river TO its old mouth at
Monte Christi, reclaimed large log
wood district from swamps, and In re-
turn received from the government a
title to all the district Then Jiminez
