at the card. "This is new wrinkle in

Adds to Artillery Only,

Washington, May Tn anticipa-
ton of the passage by the house of
the army reorganization bill in an
unamended form, the officials at the
war department have been figuring to
learn what effect the bill will have
upon the numerical strength of the
army. 1t appears that the only
branch of the service which will re-
ceive any addition is the artillery, and
the number of men to be added to
that branch is only 5,47s at the maxi
mum. This will make the total
strength of this branch of the serv-
ice 17,44s. The present enlisted
strength of the army is $4,000 regu-
lars and $4,000 volunteers, or total
of 100000. The reorganization bill
will increase that total to 1o5.4Ts men.

Immense mass meetings were recent
" held at the Stanford university, at
which time President David Starr Jor-
dan of the institution set out in nvar-
nished terms the unfortunate fact that
the very existence of the college itself
is a matter of legal uncertainty. Dr..
Jordan drew it to the attention of the
friends of the university that the valid
ity of the original act Of the state Leg
islature, the act upon which the found
ing of the university falls back for its
authority, is probably questionable.
Secondly, the president emphasizes the
fact that even granting the validity
of the enabling act" as 1t is called,
there still remains serious doubt as to
whether the grant itself was not de-
fective. This results from the fact that
the grant goes beyond the powers au-
thOrized by the enabling act, and by so
doing invalidates itself.
If that be true, Stanford University
lies to-day at the mercy of the collat-
eral heirs of the dead senator-the coli
lateral heirs, who may, If they so de-
sire, begin suit at once to contest the
generous act by which the founder
gave his princely fortune to start in
California, f|ull-hedged, a university
equal to any in America. That this is
feared is evidenced by n m ahoat
on the college grounds that those rela-
tives are securing for themselves full
copies of all the laws relating to the
founding of the institution.
The best attorneys west az the Rocky
mountains have been consulted so as to
make certain that the full particulars
are legally considered, and on their adj
vice the whole college world Of the
west will wage war to preserve intact
the princely domains Of the giant
though youthful university. AS an evil
dence Of the gravity Of the situation 1t
is proposed to 90 so far even as to
amend the constitution of the state.
This idea will be submitted to the cleo
tors Of California at the polls in No
yember.

To q Finish Between a Big Bear and =
Husky Negro.
While at B%atesville last week the
writer was told Of a genuine mix-up
between Edward Brown, a worthy and
well-to-do colored man living 10 miles
west of B%atesville, near the big ITALIA
hatchie bottom, and a 600-pound black
bear, says the Atlanta Constitution.
The incident happened on Tuesday Of
last week. The negro's corn field is
near the bottom, and for two weeks
past several bears had made night Wis
its thereto to partake of the delicious
roasting ears. Brown is an old bear
hunter, and in his day has killed many
dozens OF them. He built a scaHold In
the ORR field near where the beara
entered, aud Mondattuight. with his
trusty gun, ke took his stand thereon,
intending to bag Bruin while devour-
Ing his corn. Now the thrilling part
comes, and boys who love to read hair
breadth escapes from wild and fero-
eiOus beasts must prepare to hold their
breath. The bear came on schedule
time and started straight for the ne
gro's shelter. Brown saw that he was
a tremendously large one, and tried
to make good his aim. He only sue
ceeded in wounding him badly, how
ever, and the bear ran off to the woods.
Brown called his sons to bring the
dogs and a fresh gun. and soon the
dogs had the monster bayed In a brush
thicket within the field. THE moon
shone brightly, and he could see the
struggle the dogs we're having with
the game, so to make short work of it
he rushed in to get a dead shot, when
Bruin turned on him with the ~ferocity
Of a Texas cyclone. The negro was
knocked down. his arm crushed to
splinters, and he was badly bitten and
otherwise used up. Browns Oldest son
saw the predicament Of his father and
rushed in, grabbed the rifle and ended
Bruins checkered and c~orn-eating
career on the spot. The bear weighed
over 600 pounds.

we sold everyone of them the next

can tell me That men are not caught by

Men who Travel Much Prone 20 suffer
from rlis Disease.

Men who Travel Much Prone 20 suffer
from riis Disease.
This distressing Affection. known
also as Tables dorsalis, Is a disease OF
the spinal cord occurring usually IN
middle life, between thirty and fifty
years of age. but sometimes IN chill
dren as young as ten OF twelve years.
Il is believed to be due primarily to
some constitutional trouble, but is
brought on often by exposure to
changes of weather, by physical or
mental overwork, and by whatever de-
presses the general health. It Is said
that railroad men and others who
travel much are prone to suffer from
this disease. Men are affected more
often than women. The first sign Of
the disease Is usually a numbness OF
the feet and an uncertainty in walk
ing, especially IN the dark. The patient
feels constantly fatigued, without APP
parent reason. and sometimes slight
attack. of dizziness r complained Of.
The difficulty in walking gradually in
creases. and then an a~wkwardness in
the use of the hands IS noticed. This
becomes very apparent If the patient is
made to shut his eyes and try to touch
the end of the nose with the index
finger. A well person car usually place
the finger on or very ear the nose,
but one suffering from locomotor
ataxia is as likely to touch the eye or
the chin. There is also frequently a
feeling of construction about the waist,
as If a cord were tightly tied around
the body. Sharp, darting pains may
be felt in the legs, and sometimes there
is severe pain in the stomach, perhaps
with vomiting. Not unoommOnly there
is irregular action Of the bowels and
bladder. The eyes are often affected,
the sight gradually growing dim, or
double vision being present, and oc-
casionally there is deafness as well.
Painless swelling and deformity Of one
or more joints may occur, and some
times the bones become SO brittle that
they break very easily, as in a simple
fall. A rare symptom is an ulcer on
the sole of the foot, which it is diff
cult or impossible to heal. LOcomotoI
ataxia is a very slowly progressive
disease, lasting sometimes for many
years, and seldom in itself a cause o.
death. When treatment is begun il
the Nzry early stages. it is believed
that the disease may possibly be cureC
but later the most that can be done il
to delay its progress and relieve thu
most distressing symptoms.-YOuths
