The Injection of Antitoxine Serum {
Cure For the Dreaded Tetanus.

The Injection of Antitoxine Serum
Cure For the Dreaded Tetanus.
The first successful operation in
America for the cure of that dread
disease, lockiaw, is reported from
Passaic, N. j. 1t was performed IN
hospital there on Aaron Hemion, by
DR.. Rambaud, of the New York
branch of the Pasteur Institute, OF
Paris. The operation consisted IN an
injection Of the antitoxine serum into
the second frontal convolution of ths
PATIENTS brain. To do this the skull
had to be trephined, two quarter-inch
holes being made. Powerful oplates
were administered. In case for
treatment for lockjaw the object OF in
iecting the serum into the second
conyolution of the brain is to get as
near the seat Of the motor speech area
as possible. The second convolution
of the brain and also the first, are
primarily important in this respect.
| They are associated with the motor
nerves and the serum injected into
the second convolution almost imme-
diately begins an attack upon the for
eign forces opposing free actions OF
the nerves and muscles at this point.
DR.. Rambaud piled the piston OF
the syringe, while DR.. Pedrick counted
off the minutes. Slowly the serum
began to flow through the brain and
into the cranial nerves. The opera
ton was extremely delicate. When
one side Of the brain had been charged
with the serum, the same operation
was performed on the other side. One
and half grains in all were injected.
The good effect of the antitoxine soon
began to assert itself. In few hours
there was q visible relaxation OF the
muscles. In day or SO the rigid

Current Comment.
Cost of England's Imperialism.

From the St Paul Globe.
1t might be well for the American i'm
perialist to give pause and catch the true
significance of certain echoes that are just
now being waited over from England. 1t
is contemplated, in support of imperial
ism, to raise money at the expense of the
consumer of life's necessities as the least
Objectionable method of solving the prob
lem of how to pay for Engfands colonial
expansion. And if England, with her
wide experience in handling imperial
questions, now finds herself confronted
with such a discouraging outlook, it may
be asked why should the United States
plunge into the jungle of imperialism
without guide or compass?

the motive for the revolving crime. The
father of the child. Wilson Gray, is the
accuser of tae woman, and hau he not
reported the matter to the police 1t Is
probable the death would have passed as
an accident. Until two months ago Gray
had been living with Mrs. Adams and
the child was their son. He received a
note saying his boy was dead and with
an officer went to the Adams house where
he found the body. Mrs, Adams said the
child had drunk from bottle of carbolic
acid which had contained only about two
teaspoonsful. il was discovered how

acid had been spilled on the floor Of an

TO STOP THE WAR.
An Appeal Issued to the People of the
United States.

Boston, March 14.-An appeal to the
people of the United States, urging "all
lovers of freedomt to co-operate with
them in the attempt to induce the gov
eminent to suspend hostilities in the
Philippines and confer with the Filipino
leaders with view of preventing fur
Their bloodshed by recognizing their in
dependence upon the guarantee of pro-
lection to property by the natives. has
been issued over the signature of more
than a score of prominent men. The
preamble describes the attitude of this
government and of President McKin-
ley toward the Filipinos before and
since the war and asserts that there is
no reason for a change of opinion on
the part of the antl-imperialists, and,
on the contrary every reason for
continuance of the protest against the
spirit of mlitarism and force, and they
therefore urge cooperation to the fol-
lowing ends:
First-That our government shall
take immediate steps toward a suspen-
sion of hostilities in the Philippines and
conference with the Philippine lead
ers with a view to preventing further
bloodshed upon the basis Of a recog
milton of their freedom and ndepend-
ence, as soon as proper guarantees can
be had of order and protection to prop
erty.
Second--That the government of the
United States shall tender an official
assurance to the inhabitants of the
Philippine islands that they will en-
courage and assist in the organization
of such q. government in the islands as
the people thereof shall prefer, and that
upon its organization in a stable man
ner. the United States, in accordance
with its traditional and preceptiVe
policy in such cases, will recognize
the independence OF the Philippines and
its equality among nations, and grad
ually withdraw all naval and military
forces.

SPANISH INFLUENCE
Responsible for Mexican Abuse of the
United States.


City of Mexico. March 14.-Cecil
Rhodes predictions regarding the alb
sorption of the Latin American coun-
tries continue to give text for innumer-
able editorials in clerical papers, for
his prophecies are in line with their
utterantes for years, as they never lose
an opportunity to cultivate distrust of
the United States and the American
people. The liberal party papers pay
no heed to Rhodes, who Is regarded as
having no special knowledge of the
new world affairs. During the admin
istration of President Diaz, owing to
the largely increased facilities of trans
portation and the employment OF men
Of all shades of political opinion under
the government, an era Of good feeling
has dawned and the result is more
intensely patriotic feeling than ever be-
fore. The administration, while liberal
in politics, gives employment even in
important positions to old imperialists
and conservatives and so has brought
out a sentiment of harmony.
The clerical papers appeal largely tc
the unthinking people and are aetuated
by motives which are not always ap-
parent. The systematic abuse of the
United States seems to be directed by
hidden Spanish influence, and by the
general European dislike of American
people and jealousy of their progress
but these papers by no means repres Sli
the intelligent opinion of the intelligent
majority of Mexicans.

An illustration a few days ago by the

his wife. Sheldon was a farmer, one
of the substantial men in his county,
prominent in local politics. In 1884 IA
domestic was engaged to assist Mrs.
Sheldon in the work of the house. From
that moment there was dissension in the
Sheldon household. Miss Sullivan
usurped the place of the wife. She
bossed the household and treated Mrs
Sheldon as if she were stranger. This
went on until 1892. when Sheldon's fam
fly demanded that Sullivan should 60

her authority in the household, but
Sheldon paid daily visits to Ellen Sui

IT looks as if the American forces at
Manila had begun vigorous cam
paign of aggression In the opinion of
many it was the leniency and kindness
of the Americans which led the Filipinos
into the folly of resisting American
authority. They were not accustomed
to treatment of that kind from the
Spaniards-they wholly misinterpreted
it, conceving the idea that it was an
indication of weakness. That impress
sion can be removed only by severe
measures. They must be whipped and

the Detroit Tribune, twill have no good

sufficient in number and force TO round

of the natives must be dispatched
against them, and the fact that semi

NEW YORK'S POSITION.

Delegates sounded by National CHAIRMAN
James X. Jones.
New York, March 1.-THE Journal-Ad-
vertiser publishes the following letters,
which Chairman James X Jones of the
democratic national committee has sent
to each delegate to the last democratic
convention in this state:
Washington, March II, 18ss-My Dear
Sir In view of the fact that the demo-
cratic party of 1896 in your state did not
give the Chicago platform unanimous
support / am anxious to know what you
think is likely to be the attitude of the
party in New York state on this ques-
ton of the coming national convention.
My own impression Is that the feeling is
overwhelming in the party in the South
and West in favor of a practical reaf-
frmation of the Chicago platform. l
would be glad TO know what, in your
opinion, is the feeling of the party in
your state on this question, "a whether
the state is likely to send a delegation to
the next national convention ready to
cooperate with what seems to be the
wish of the majority, or whether a course
similar to that pursued in New York in
1898 is likely to be followed in case the
Chicago platform should be practically
your prominent connection with the par
ty and hone you will let me hear from
you promptly on this question. Very
truly, JAMES *. JONES.
