CANCER NO LONGER 4 MYs-
Terry.
I'IlRY

Cancer ID no longer d mystery,
according % the deliberate YER
dict Of tho London Pathological
Society. Dr. Lambert Lack, the
eminent throat specialist, is cred
tied, by his learned colleagues,
with having solved one or the
most momentous and perplexing
problems known to medical
science. s.
The world is much wrought IN
over pr. Lack 9 discovery, which
is pronounced one Of the very
greatest Of modern times. Various
European savants have from time
to time announced the isolation
Of the micro organism Of cancer
some Of them very recently
but their conclusions have been
disputed by other scientists, and
not one Of them has won the sup
port Of such a weighty body al
the London Pathological Society.
Lambert Lack, whose namo bids
fair 70 become as famous as that
OF Pasteur, is honorary surgeon
to the Golden Square Throat Hos
pital, one OF tho most noted insti-
tutions Of its scope in the world.
For q long time he has been in
yestigating the origin Of malig-
nant growths, with particular al
tention to cancer.
Holding with the accepted scien-
titic opinion that cancer was the
result of germ, he nevertheless
worked along lines radically diff
ferent from those pursued by the
majority Of Investigators In this
Held. After a series Of tests GOV.
ering several years, he discover
ed that the dreaded disease inva-
riably began with an injury Of
particular character 10 what Is
known as the basement membrane
Of the mucuous membrane and
its allied structures.
Having arrived at this impor.
tant truth, he set to work 10 pro-
duce cancer in the lower animals,
and succeeded.
To produce disease at will Is
the first step toward finding the
cure for it--sueh il tho paradox
on which The entire fabric Of bac-
teriology rests. Hence il 10 reas-
enable TO expect that in short
time DR.. Lack will be ia posi-
ton to give the world a serum for
the cure Of cancer and thus take
rank among the immortal bene-
factors Of the human species.
Like true scientist he hasten
ed to present his discovery 10
mankind. No sooner did he con.
slider that his tests were conelu.
sive than be submitted the whole
thing 70 a select committee Of the
London Pathological Society.
And now the society itself has
declared it, conviction that DR..
Lack has disclosed that secret for
which savants have been gropino
eyer since men first began to in
quire into the nature Of disease.
During the past quarter Of
century, while medical science
has been marching forward nobly
in other branches, it has been at
standstill SO far as the knowl-
edge Of cancer was concerned.
The primary cause Of this horrj-
bic disease was o mystery as deep
as the origin Of life itself.
Surgery, on the other hand,
has progressed wonderfully in is
relation to cancer, andin the sur
geon's knife has rested the only
hope Of those afflicted.
II is only few months since
Dr.. Bra of Paris believed that he
had isolated the cancer germ,
which was described as a parasite
OF the fungoid type. This alleg-
ed discovery was discredited
however, by the learned Prof.

which still exists was consecrated 12
centuries ago in commemoration of the
voyage made by the Parsees when they
emigrated from Persia TO India. The
fire is fed five times every "a hours,
with sandal wood and other fragment

This fire, in the village of oodwada,
near Bulsar, is visited by Parsees in
large numbers during the months al

all a game of skittles with Ben Bolt
Like other folk, he must work as well
as play. His first duty each day is to
listen for the footsteps of the newsboy
and as soon as his quick ear catches
these sounds he rushes downstairs and
carries the Times-Herald up to his mas
ter and deposits it on his knee. Then,
when the postman rings on his daily
rounds, Ben Bolt makes it point to
fetch up the letters to his mistress.
For these little errands, cheerfully and
gracefully performed, he is usually re-
warded in cold weather by game of
ball indoors.
Ben is two years old and of pug and
terrier ancestry. He walks erect when
asked to do so, or kneels down and de-
voutly says his prayers, when nothing
will tempt him to rise until the word
''amen" is spoken, though the word
"balr' is sore temptation.-Chicago

was the aggressor. MattoX used knife

he killed negro in Oklahoma City, l..
T., in quarrel; was tried in the federal
district here and sentenced to death.
He escaped from Jail in 1898, was re-
captured and sent to the penitentiary.
His mother, Mrs. S. w. Hatch, after
vainly spending a fortune in his be-
half, appealed to President Cleveland,
who finally commuted Mattox' SEN
tence to life imprisonment. A second
appeal, made in person to President
Mckinley, resulted in a pardon last
year.

New York, April 4.-The work of
searching the ruins of the Windsor ho-

dead now numbers 45, and several per-
sons are still missing. Impressive
memorial services were held in the
church of the Heavenly Rest Monday

The church was filled with friends and
relatives of persons who perished in
the fire, and WAS decorated with flow
ers. Rev. ID. Parker Morgan, rector of
the church, officiated, with the full
surpliced choir of the church.
The record of the fire was as follows:
Killed during the fire, and died subse-

as large as swans. The one he gave me
was young one, about eight or nine

men were compelled to leave the Cleve-

The streets were crowded with strikers,
who jeered the nonunionists and
cheered for the union. The union men
say they will have representatives at
all the mines to-day andevill not allow
a miner to go to work unless his card is
shown. The Finlanders declare most
emphatically that they will not join

The hardest thing a boy can do
Qm sure you'll not deny iO
Is just to rise and speak piece"
Pray, did you ever try it?
How strange my tongue that freely runs
All day in idle clatter,
Now to my palate tries to cling;
And hear my poor teeth chatteri
My back Is cold, my arms and l0ys
Grow every moment weaker,
And all because you try to make
OF me public speaker.
My mother comes to view her boy,
And waits with anxious pride,
To hear his name, and see him take
His place with manly stride.
But what II forget my lines?
I'm almost sure to do it;
The little sense my head once held
Has rum know, quite through it.
My teacher stands with book to prompt,
And aids me by her smile:
While Sallie Jones, the girl like,
Is giggling all the while.
oh. yes, you think tits fun, of course,
To sit and stare at me;
But you come up, and I'll come down,
Then who the fun would see?
This is the last. zee you're glad,
And so, indeed, am /.
When next you want an orator,
1 hope you'll pass me by.

CANINE BALL PLAYER.
Ben Bolt, n Chicago Dog, Can Catch
n Ball on the Fly and Runs
Errnnds Regularly.

This is likeness of Ben Bolt, one of
the most enthusiastic and expert ball
players in all the history of trained
dogs. He is the pet of the children in
Auburn Park. His master, Frank n.
Jordan, lives at 1914 Honore street, in
that suburb. 1t is as a ball player that
Ben Bolt excels. A solid rubber ball is
his favorfte, and this he can catch on
the fly with dexterity that rivals any
of the great champions in the Amer
lean league of baseball teams. He
catches the ball with his teeth, some
times leaping high in the air and whirl-
ing his body around like an acrobat
to make sure of his work. When he
misses the ball on the fly he is sure
to get it on the first bound. He is such
a veritable ball ''crank" that he is never
weary of the game. He is always drop
ping his ball at the feet of callers, and,
with wise and pleading look in his
eyes, begging them to try a game with
him.
Ben Bolt can do almost everything
but talk; he can talk, in fact, but in
canine language. With joyous bark
he can ask for romp, or with pa
thetic whimper he can call for his meat
and coffee. He has a little table and
chair all to himself, where he takes his
meals at regular hours. But life is not
