Some Medical Problems An.wered.

Some Medical Problems Answered.
The name rheumatism is applied to
a great variety of affections accompan-
led with pain in the joints or muscles,
some of them more OF gouty nature,
others probably of infectious origin,
and others still the expression Of some
disease of the nervous structures.
Acute .articular. or infiammatory.
rheumatism is disease characterized
by pain, and. swelling In one or more
Of the joints. usually the larger ones.
such as the knee. together with fever
Of more or less intensity. 1t is dis
ease Of temperate climates. especially
in cold and damp regions. being very
seldom seen in the tropics. 1t occurs
in this country chiefly in late winter
and early spring, although 1t may oc-
cur, particularly on the seacoast, at
any time Of the year. In England 1t Is
said to be most frequent in the au-
tumn. 1t attacks persons between the
ages Of fifteen and forty more com
monty than those who are older or
younger Physicians are not yet agreed
as to its nature, although many now
incline to regard 1t as germ disease.
1t begins gradually. with slight aching
in the limbs, sore throat, and a general
feeling of depression. The appetite
fails. the tongue is heavily coated.
often there is complaint of headache
and OF chilly sensations, and the suffer-
er is generally "out of Sorts" There
is feverishness, and as this increases,
pain and swelling appear in one or
more of the large joints. The Joints
attacked are hot, red and exquisitely
painful, and have every appearance Of
being severely infiamed.
All these symptoms may disappear
In single night from one Joint, and
appear at the same time in another;
and SO the disease may go on. attack
ing one Joint after another. those first
affected recovering much OF their tone
and function. One of the characters.
tic symptoms is profuse perspiration;
the skin is not red and dry. as In most
fevers, but cool, moist, and sometimes
actually dripping with sweat. The
disease may come to an end in week
or ten days, or 1t may go on attacking
Joint after joint, and when all have
|. suffered 1t may begin over again, and
SO go on Indefinitely. AS long as the
rheumatism is confined to the joints
there is little danger. although occa-
sionally death results from excessive
fever; but there is always danger that
1t may attack the lining membrane Of
the heart and cripple the organ per-
manently. Rarely 1t attacks the mem
brane Of the brain. causing violent de-
lirium or death.

Mohammed.n. in Murderous Mood.

Peoria, ILL.,, July 20.-George Shi-
moon, a Persian student who has been
attending college in Illinois for several
years, to-day received cablegram
from his home at Oroomiah, Persia,
stating that his brother had been muir
dered by Mohammedans, and that a
general massacre of the 5000 Chris
tians in Oroomiah was expected. The
cablegram states that the feeling of
the Mohammedans against the native
Christians is growing, and that there
have been several hand-to-h hand battles
with fatalities OH both sides. Mr.. Shi-
moons father Is n native missionary,
and this fact adds to the wrath against
him and his family.

desperate Fight with Lyncher..

Huntsville, Ala. July 23-Elijah
Clark, a negro, who yesterday assault
ed Susan Priest thlrteen-year-old
girl, was taken from Jail in this city
where his crime was committed. His
body was riddled with bullets. Sher-
iff Pulgham defended the prisoner to
the last, but n dense smoke from Il
combination of tar, feathers and oil,
fired by crazy mob, was too much
for him. and he was dragged from the
jail and placed under a physician 8
care.
VIII Vining. who attempted to rush
through the crowd and up the sheriff S
steps, was shot by the sheriff and dan
gerously wounded
After battering down the doors and
gaining an entrance to the Jail. the
mob drove the sheriff and his prisoner
into the third story of the building.
There the sheriff held his ground until
he became unconscious from the suf-
locating smoke arising from tar and
feathers. which the mob burned on
the stone floor in the main corridor.
In response to all appeal from Sher-
III Pulgham made earlier in the day,
Governor Johnston ordered militia
companies here from Birmingham,
Montgomery and Decatur, hut they
failed to arrive In time to prevent the
Vnching.

Currie, while repairing the Anglo
American telegraph line east of Pan
mel, saw the form of man ON large
rock near the Isle Aux Morte. He ap-
preached the rock. and an appalling
spectacle met his eyes.
A sailor named William Warrick.
who for twenty days had been prac-
tically without any food and water,
and with no shelter, was on the rock
He was in most pitiable condition.
His body was frightfully emaciated.
He will probably lose one or both OF
his feet:
Warrick on July LIST deserted from
the schooner Little Pet, then at Burnt
island. He wandered from place to
place until he reached the rock. He
was unable to proceed further. He
was taken to Channel, where every
means was adopted to relieve his s,G-

Scientific Jottiugs.

Portugal was decidedly liberal to
scientific men at the time OF the recent
eclipse. The custom house employees
were ordered to give astronomers
every facility for the entry of their
baggage, their instruments being ad-
mitted free on the presentation OF a
certificate from an astronomical OBJ
servatory countersigned by Portu-
guese consular agent.
1t Is said that coal was mined prior
to lib. In the Liege district coal was
first found about 1199. In 1914 coal
was attracting some attention on the
southern side of the Firth of Forth
This was a hundred years after the
mines in the Worm district are said to
have been opened and regularly
worked. 1t Is. mot likely that coal was
mined In Great Britain before the thir-
teenth century.
Rubber culture was first scientif1cal-
ly undertaken at the botanical gardens
and in 1897 Ceylon boasted of 250,00O
trees OF the Brazilian variety which
yielded an amount of one pound and a
half per tree, fifty trees being planted
to the acre. 1t is fortunate for Brazil
that little Of the east possesses the soil.

MIR. M'KINLEY HEEDS
CHINA'S APPEAL

Washington. July 23-The President
has listened TO the appeal of the Chi
neSe government. as transmitted
through Minister Wu, and has signified
his willingness to mediate between the
imperial government and the powers,
but only on conditions which first must
be met by the Chinese government The
exact nature of the terms proposed by
the State Department cannot be stated
until tomorrow, when 1t is expected
that publication will be made of the
text of the Chinese appeal and of the
Presidents message.
1t Is known, however, that the an
swer is entirely consistent with the
statement of principles laid down by
Secretary Hay in his identical note to
the powers. and moreover 1t accepts ms
truthful the Chinese statements rela-
tive to the safety of the foreign minis
ters at Pekin.
1t would not. of course. be possible
to take initial steps toward mediation
We're either party to the negotiations to
entertain open distrust of the accuracy
of the statements of the other. There
must be confidence between them. The
United States answer does not go to
the length of the French answer to a
similar application. in laying down con-
ditioins which the Chinese government
could not meet even If SO disposed, II 1t
actually is struggling for its own ex.
istence. 1t does. however. look to the
immediate relief of foreigners in Pekin.
and moreover, to the protection of all
foreigners. missionaries and traders in
China. and to the restoration Of order.
With this much accomplished. the State
Department feels that it can properly
approach the powers with the Chinese
propositions for settlement for what
has occurred.

Plains, when he will be met by mem
bers OF the reception committee TO the

JUDGE DOUBTS LEGALITY.
Nebraska's Transportation Board Will

NebFaskA's Transportation Board Will
Convene Supreme Court and Find Out
Omaha, Neb., July 20.-At the re-
quest of Governor Poynter, Attorney
General Smythe and other members of
the Nebraska State Board Of Transpor-
tation, the justices Of the State Su-
preme Court meet at Lincoln to-mor-
row to consider the advisability of at
once holding special session to deter
mine the constitutionality Of the law
creating the board in 1889.
Last Wednesday, Judge Munger Of
the Federal Court in chambers here,
granted temporary Injunction to the
stockholders of the Burlington to pre-
vent the state board from enforcing
the order making a cut on live stock
rates. He held that the board had no
legal existence, because the title Of the
bill as 1t passed both houses of the Leg
islature provided only for the repeal of
existing laws, although the title was
changed to include new laws, then sent
to the governor.
The state board finds that the consti-
tutionality of the law has never been
passed upon by the Supreme Court
and believes that II 1t Is upheld by that
body, the Federal Court will dissolve
the injunction. Governor poyntel
calls attention to the urgent necessity
of securing action at once. so that II
the state board still has power, its or
der for reduced rates may at once be
enforced.

as false. l am made to say things
which l never thought Of, and which
I could never have uttered. You will

The admiral said he had never heard

Il considered their representations
Of little Importance" said the admiral,
-.and did not take them to Manila. La
ter gave permission to Aguinaldo
and about dozen others to come to
Manila. All that they were anxious
about at that tfme was IN end OF the
tyranny Of Spain, against which they
had been fighting. After the destruc-
ton of Montejo's feet the city vtrtu-
ally surrendered, and I am satisfied
that If we had had 5000 troops there
at the time we could have gone ashore

ing the interim between the smashing
of the Spanish fleet and the arrival

Speaking of the report that Cuba
was to be evacuated by the American
troops after the holding of the consti-
