TALE OF SUFFERING AND saw
AGERY ON SEA.
DRAW LOTS FOR DEATH
Terrible Experience of Crew of Nor
wegian Bark Drot, Wrecked by Re
cent Hurricane in West Indies
Two Men Survive by Drinking
Blood of Their Companion.

Charleston, Sept. 3.-The British
steamer Woodruff arrived from Ham
burg Saturday. August 81, $50 miles
south of Charleston, the Woodruff
picked UP Maurice Anderson and Good
mund Thomasen, survivors of the Nor
wegian bark Drot, wrecked August 15
off the Florida coast. The Drot was
bound from Pensacola to Buenos
Ayres. Anderson is a raving maniac
and his companion is shockingly mutt
lated from bites of the craZed man.
Thomasen tells the awful story. The
captain of the Drot and seven seamen
were swept overheard and lost in the
recent hurricane and the mate and
seven other men put to sea on raft
made from the decking. The raft
parted soon after and the mate and one
man were separated from the others.
The mates companion was landed at
Philadelphia by the German steamer
Titania, August %. He stated that
the mate committed suicide. Of the
six men on the other part of the raft,
one became crazed from exposure and
jumped into the sea. Two others be-
came exhausted from suffering and fell
over board and were lost. Anderson
and Thomasen and German seaman
drew lots to decide which one
of them should be eaten, as
none had had mouthful since
they took to the raft. The lot
fell to the German and he was killed
and the blood sucked from his veins
by the two survivors. Soon after An
derson lost his reason and savagely
attacked his only companion. Thorn
asen's breast and face were bitten in
several places, chunks of good size
being torn out Both men are now at
the city hospital and the Norwegian
consul has taken the case in hand.
Thomasen is native of Stavanger,
Norway.

TILDEN RESIDENCE SOLD.
Famous Property in Grammercy Park
Changes Hands.

New York, Sept. 3.-The Samuel J..
Tilden residence, in Grammercy park,
rumor says, had been sold at a con-
siderable advance over the price paid
for it-$180,00 0-at the auction sale Of
the property on May 10 last. Mr.. Til
ems heirs and the New York library
CASTOR, Lenox and Tilden founda-
tions) shared equally in the proceeds
from the sale, which was ordered by
the supreme court as the result of a
partition suit. At the sale Charles D.
Sabin, whose wife was Susan G. Til
den, beneficiary under the Tilden
will settlement, became the buyer with
out opposition. 1t was understood at
the time Mr. Sabin made the purchase
that he would resell the house when a
favorable opportunity offered, and if
the report now circulated is true, a.
buyer willing to pay a satisfactory
price has appeared within four months.
In rebuilding the house and putting
in the elaborate carvings and tapestry
walls, Mr.. Tilden is said to have spent
100000. The house itself is four
story high-stoop dwelling, with a front
of brown and red sandstone, trimmed
with red and gray granite. 1t con-
tains more than 40 rooms.

A Suppressed Report of a Speech in
National Congress of Women.

The national congress of women,
| which assembled in London, has not
as yet disturbed the gaiety of nations.
This is the more surprising seeing that
several of the delegates are in favor Of
total abstinence in every direction
except in the direction of dress. 1t is

ceedings which have been published in

delegate who advocates the retention
of man, though in position of second

SERUM FOR YELLOW FEVER.
Dr. Doty Shows that Patient was
Fortunate to Get Well.

New York, Sept. 3.-Dr. A. H. Doty
has contributed to the Medical Record
an article describing the treatment I'M
der his direction of Oscar F. Lackey OF
Baltimore, who arrived here from San
tiago on the United States transport
Mcclellan, a victim of yellow fever.
This was the first case treated with
Sanarelli serum at Swinburne island
Though the patient fully recovered, DR.
Doty says the merits of the serum can
be determined only after many cases
have been treated with it. Besides the
serum, no medicinal agents of any
kind, except whisky, were used during
the course of the disease, but as Mr..
Lackey became convalescent, a tonic
containing strychnine was given to
him, in addition to plenty of nourish-
ment. During the first three or four
days fresh milk, peptonized at the hos
pital, was given in quantities ranging
from a tablespoonful to two ounces
every two hours. A teaspoonful OF
whisky was occasionally added, but
this was suspended when the stomach
showed signs of irritation. After the
fourth day in the hospital the nourish-
ment was rapidly increased, and, in adj
dition, small quantities of mineral
water were given at frequent intervals.
Mr.. Lackey was pronounced thoroughly
cured on July 20, and left the hospital
On the Importance of the use of nour-
ishment and stimulants in cases OF yell
low fever, DR.. Doty says:
''There are few diseases in which the
organic degeneration is so prominent
and rapid as in yellow fever, and
therefore there is no condition IN
which judicious nourishment and slim
ulation are more imperatively called
for. They are, however, usually given
too late to be of the greatest value. To
begin the use of stimulants early in the
disease is to offer prompt support 10
the heart before it has become too ex-
nausted to respond. I am well aware
that the value of the serum in the
treatment Of yellow fever cannot Zoe
definitely decided until it has been en-
ployed in a large number OF cases.
Therefore, in this instance it is consist
ent only to present the facts in connec-
ton with the case. Mr.. Lackey recoV-
cred from the disease, whereas cases OF
yellow fever brought to this station on
incoming vessels, unless they are of a
mild character, terminate fatally. The
Importance of a thorough investigation
as to the value of the serum treatment
in yellow fever cannot be overesti-
mated. The good results already OBJ
tanned in diphtheria justify the belief
that this method will sooner or later
prove to be of great value in yellow
fever"

AN ACCOMPLISHED REFORM.

One reform has been wrought in
Memphis of which the people are proud
and for which they are grateful, and
this is in the matter of high hats at
the theater. 1t is. now the exception
and not the rule for women to remain
covered during the play. A glance at
the audiences who have crowded the
opera showed only few hats, and as a
rule these were worn by the older
women. Where the wearer was young,
she was generally plain, for the pretty
women, the women with well-shaped
heads and graceful coiffures did not
hesitate to remove their hats. And
how we'll they looked when bareheaded.
Never before have people realized how
many beautiful women there are in the
city. Some of the matinee audiences
this year coulu not have been equaled
for beauty in the whole country. And
aside from the pleasing effect to the
vision the stage was in plain view, and
people who went to see the opera got
the worth of their money. This is a
decided encOurag cement to the pro-
motors of summer opera; they feel
that their efforts to entertain the pub
lie were successful, as their plans were
not frustrated by forest of feathers
and artificial roses. The women, too.
have a feeling of satisfaction that they
took only as much of the play as they
paid for, and did not cheat others out
of their just share by raising barriers
which only X-ray eyes could have pene-
trated. Memphis is proud Of the gen
tleness and consideration shown by her
Memphis Commercial-Appeal.

COLLEGE MAN MURDERED.

Chicago, Sept. 3.-Walter Koeller, a.

Dixon, ILL.,, was stabbed to death in his.
boarding house last night by two un-
known men who have so far eluded
arrest. He was overcome by heat DUR
ing the day and was removed to his,
home. Later man called and asked
to see him. AS Koeller opened the.
door the man drove knife into his.
breast, killing him almost instantly.
The only idea that can be formed as.
to the murder is that the murdererss
were two young men who objected to-
Koeller's attentions to Miss Horn.
