The President Of the Medical Congress.
Prof. Raymond, who is the present occu.
pant of the chair oncesheld by the renowned
Chareot, of the Salpetriere, made an ad.
dress at the opening of this Congress, and
briefly reviewed the principal characteristics
OF the physiology, anatomy and pathology
OF the nervous system of past times, and
paid due homage to the superb work and
discoveries Of Charcoi. VuIpian, Horn,
Fnedreieh, Leyden and number of other
savants through whom we are enabled today
TO understand 50 many obscure matters re.
lating to nervous pathology. oar role, said
he, is to contend against The progress Of de.
generscy and morbid heredity, against the
dissemination of infections, and against the
ravages Of syphilis and alcoholism. In
short, to impress our time with the truth
that the principal source Of happiness resides
IN perfect harmony between the human
organism and its environment.
Among the most interesting papers sub.
mitted TO the Medical Congress we're those
by Dr. Labsdie, Of New York, Dr. Bertbau
of Paris and DIR. Ducamp. Of Bordeaux.
on the new treatment OF consumption which
was discovered by Frenchman. Dr. Cro,te
The method IS, in effect, to transmit anti.
sepiics, especially formoldehyde to the cf
fected parts by means Of static electricity
and not in the usual way through the
stomach. II was urged that the direct
transmission is destructive to baeili and
their iptomaines in a much more eAectiv,
manner than through the digestive organs.
and moreover, the stomach being unmoles,.
ed by medicine, performs It's function Of
nutrition in a normal way, thereby facilita.
ting the cure.
Dr.. Labadie stated that experiments had
been made on animals which showed he.
yond doubt that the aniiscptics had been
carried through and into the body by high
tension static currents. lie presented an.

flying his statements. while both he and the
French doctors referred to cases of com
plete cures IN the United States and France.
BY statistics they showed that of 500 pa.
tienis 10 different stages Of consumption in
France, 600 we're cured; that a hundred
per cent IN the FIRST stage Of this disease
we're cured; seventy-6ve per cen, in the
second stages, and ihriy.hve per cent in
the third stage. The three doctors urge in
support Of their new method that IL is en-
tirely without danger. and that a patient IN
ihe very weakest condition. even very young
children, are unharmed by the strong cleo
trical currents, which are free from pain,
producing IN The patient pleasant and slim
ulaiing sensations. The static electricity is
produced by machines which are now be-
ing made m France, and Of which photo
graphs were exhibited by the lecturers

OUR PARIS LETTER.
The Good Work Of the Peace Cong

Done by tho Medical Congress.
Both the Above Bodies In session at the
Great Paris Exposition.

PARIS. France. August a


PARIS, FRANCE. August IS, 1900.
II is scarcely recognized that the most
potent and far-reaching Influences of the
Paris Exposition appear in the Hall of
Congresses. Palais des Congress as 1t is
called. This is the least striking part of
the Exposition. There are here no great
captains ofindustry with Changing machinery,
no display of mining industries with their
astonishing statistics, no ad cap,andum in
ventions OF results of thrilling discoveries in
physical science. Only a number of So
eieties consisting of plain men and some
plain women discussing peace, education,
charity, religion, psychology, hygiene, and
other subjects that relate to the amelioration
and progress of the human race. Can II be
doubted that these organizations, composed
as they are Of savants of all countries.

the esoteric circles of their specal,ies--sta-
ltis,icians, bookworms, theorists, dreamers

saviors of mankind They have no mon
umenis and wan, none. ''They desire no
isles of the best, no quiet seats of the iust

summer sky; give them the wages of going
on and not to die"

Petit-Lusembourg meeting to consider the
problems of war, and the policy of colonial
expansion.
In that meeting, which related especially
to the offsets of the International Peace
Congress, NJ. de Block insisted on the
necessity of special inquiries concerning the
conditions of modern war, and the utility of
colonial expeditions. At his suggestion, n
commission was appointed To- study economi.
cal and financial crises which might be the
causes OF war between the great powers.
In the interest of humanity at large, which

dangers of expansion and colonial extension
that there is great peril in an armed
peace which really means permanent war.

TWO MURDERS REPORTED.
But Police Found Reports to Be I'm
founded.

While some fifteen arrests were made by
the police yesterday up to midnight, no
one of the prisoners is charged with a
serious offense.
Twice during the day the police were
notified by telephone that murder had
been committed. but in each case the re-
port was found to be untrue.
The first report came in about 9 o'clock
and was to the effect that while quar-
reling with his wife. a negro had at
lacked her and fatally wounded her
When the detectives Investigated the mat
ter 1t was found that the report came
from a negro boy. who, hearing the quar-
rel, without waiting for its sequel rushed
70 a neighboring store and had the alarm
ing report sent to the barracks.
About 8 o'clock at night a similar re-
port was sent to the barracks from the
same street and in the same vicinity. De-
eective Stark responded TO the call, but
found that 1t was only a case of a fight
between man and wife, and that both had
escaped by getting away from the street
as soon as the report had been sent 10
the barracks.

CITY BREVITIES.

For the Retail Clerks excursion TO Ty-
bee tonight the S:35 o'clock train will ac-
commodate those unable to get off on the
T'ybee on the usual schedule.
1t is observed that the Mayors publ
cation of the ordinance against such small
vehicles as little darkies push and roll
along the streets is again disregarded.
Policemen fail to make cases against the
young offenders, and the wagons and push
carts remain to brighten horses and tan
gle up bicyclists.
Mr.. L. Z. Mccarthy has a tree full of
liberia peaches in his yard, No 313 East
Henry street, which shows that Savan-
nah soil is as fertile for Elbertas as that
of Middle Georgia. Mr.. Mccarthy
brought a sample of the fruit to the
Morning News yesterday. 1t measured a
fraction over nine inches around and
weighed nine ounces. The tree on which
it was grown is five years old and is load
ed with fruit.
A little negro boy playing on Barnard
street, near Bryan. yesterday afternoon
was knocked down and run over by a
wagon, in which were two colored men
The boy was but little injured and was
able to walk home. The men drove on
after the accident without stopping to in
quire after the injuries of the boy, but
they were halted by a policeman before
they had gone any great distance. They
were released when it was seen that the
boys condition did not warrant their ar

NEW YACHT FOR SAVANNAH.
She Is Being Brought From George
town for Mr.. j. A. 6. Carson.

sne IL BelEE brought FROM GeOFHe-
town for Mr.. j. A. 6. Carson.
A new yacht is on the way TO Savannah
for Mr.. J. A. G. Carson. When she joins
the Savannah Yacht Club feet she might
easily be the flagship as she has larger
dimensions than any vessel now in it.
Mr. Carson bought the boat in George
town, S. c. A day or two ago he sent Pilot
W. J. Durham and another man to bring
her down the coast. Mr.. Durham being
thoroughly familiar with the route. 1t is
expected the boat will arrive day after
tomorrow. She viii come up the river to
the city. and then he sailed to Thunder
bolt and the Yacht Club by Mr.. Carson.
Alco-vapor is the motive power of the
yacht. Alcohol is converted into vapor by
means of kerosene oil. There is no waste,
as the vapor is condensed and used time
after time. II is said the machinery can
be run with but slight cost.
The yacht is 50 feet over all and has
u feet beam. She was built primarily for
comfort. and her cabin arrangements are
said to be perfect She Is handsomely APP
pointed. and il is probable that no boat for
cruising touch her in these waters.
There are no sail auxiliaries, though there
are two masts designed to add to the sym

FIGURED IN THE CAMPAIGN.
The Congress Street Buildings Are
Now Being Negotiated for.

Negotiations are pending for the pur-
chase of Nos. 10 and 10 Congress street
east. buildings about which no little was
said during the recent campaign that pre-
coded the primary election. The claim
was made that the houses were used for
gambling purposes.
1t is said that c. B. Mcbride has prac-
tically agreed to purchase one of the
houses, and that W. J. Odell will secure
the other. 1t is further said that Mr. r.
L. Colding is acting for Mcbride, and Col
P. w. Meldrim for Odell in attending to
all the legal tails of the transfer of the
property. Neither of the principals is a
resident of Savannah.
The negotiations have not been made
directly with those by whom the property
was owned at the time of its introduction
as a sort of issue of the political cam
paign, when talk about gambling was so
rife. Messrs. Walthour & Rivers, wh6
formerly were agents for the property,
have, it is understood. purchased ii from
the former owners, and it is with the real
estate firm that the negotiations are pend
ing
Inquiries failed to develop that the
transfer has been made. One of the inter
ested parties said there is some question
as to the deeds yet to be settled, but that
the thing looks like a trade.

MASONIC MASTERS MEET.
Work of Il. A. and F. C. Degrees Ex-
cmpIihed by Four Lodges.

Work of e. A. and F. c. Degrees Ex-
cmplihed by Four Lodges.
The first meeting of the District Con-
vention of the Worshipful Masters of the
First Masonic District was held last night
a Masonic Temple. The attendance was
very large indeed, as besides the visitors
from the other lodges OF the district the
local members Of the fraternity were out
in unusual force.
The f. A. degree was conferred on two
candidates bys-Clnton and Ancient Land
mark Lodges; and The F. c. degree by
Landrum and Zerubbabel Lodges. Past
Master p. A. Stovall of Zerubbabel, acted
as senior deacon and initiated the candi-
dates into the mysteries of the second
part of the Fellowcraft degree in a most
scholarly and eloquent address.
Tonight the NJ. Nj. degree will be con-
ferred on three candidates by Solomons
Lodge, and it is expected that the attend
ance will be even larger than it was last
night. At the conclusion of the work sup
per will be served by the ladies of the In
dependent Society of ST. Pauls Episcopal
Church.

brated Ola Highland Scotch whiskey. or

This firm has decided to sell all imported

10 quite an acquisition for our Savannah
con sumers.
Lippman Brothers have something espe-
cially nice from Scotland called Cherry

nothing like this has ever been imported
in these parts before. 1t has the most
delightful cherry favor. and the whiskey

PENNIES FOR THE POOR.
Our Lady's Aid Birthday Party at
Bishop KeiIey's Residence

Our Ladies Aid Society gave a birthday
party yesterday in the yard of the Bishops
residence The society is a charitable or
ganization consisting of members of the
Roman Catholic Church but is non-sec-
tartan in the scope of its work. The af-
fair yesterday was given with the object
of raising funds. Each attendant gave a
small bag containing as many cents as
there were years in the givers age. Be-
sides this source of profit refreshments
were sold
During the afternoon the greater num-
Der of the attendants were children, who
amused themselves with various games
AT night the scene was illuminated with
japanese lanterns and incandescent lights
presenting very pretty picture. The en-
tertainment lasted from o'clock D. m I'M

ing many grown folks attended and en-
joyed the vocal and instrumental music

IN A TEN-ROUND GO.
Mack and Mamie VIII Appear for
the Formers Benefit.

Eddie Mack and Pete Mamie will go on
for six-round bout at the Royal Music
Hall on Broughton street tonight. 1t is
expected that the pugilistic bout will be
one of the features of the performance.
The two fighters met some days ago at
the theater and it was clear enough then
that they are both smooth articles in the
scrapping line. Those who see them in
their work tonight VIII probably dis
cover that they have every bit as much
go in them as they showed in the fast
fighting they put up at the theater. The
fight was a draw then, indicating that it
is an even thing with the two fighters.
The exhibition will be benefit for Mack
He came to Savannah believing that a
good house would see his fight with Man
zie, but the hot weather was too much for
those who usually turn out for prize
fights, and the best that could be done
was to clear expenses. Those who ad-
mired Mack's work in the ten rounds he
went with Mamie will probably be out TO
see him.

The movement started by ex-Gov. Nor
then throughout the state has resulted in
the raising yesterday of $sS4s2. The
fund is being raised through committees
in every county in Georgia. In his appeal
for the famine-stricken people Gov. Nor
then says: Surely no man, woman or
child, with the least human sympathy, can
resist the appeal when the conditions are
known. 1 desire especially, to call atten-
ton to the effort TO raise a chidren's fund.
This was started at the suggestion of a
little lad of eleven years. 1t is a most
beautiful thought and l hope you will en-
courage the generous children of Georgia
to help 10 save the starving children in
India. Let all the little people in the Sun
day Schiols, the day schools and the
homes in your county know about this
fund and give them an opportunity to
help increase it. Report what you receive
from them separately so that the funds
may be kept distinct. If your people have
contributed once, that must not be an
excuse to relieve them from further help.
as the starving are etill dying and there
can be no relief from harvests until OcA
tober. A breakfast in the morning does
not meet the demands of hunger the next
day. Let us all help again"

THE NEW ENGINE HOUSE.
Another Set of Plans and Specihca-
lions Is Being Prepared.

lions Is Being Prepared.
New plans and specifications for the en-
CINE house at Barnard and Eighth streets
are being prepared The City Council ap-
propriated $4,000 for the erection and
equipment of the building, but the bids for
its construction have not been low enough
to admit of the award of the contract. 1t
is desired that the contractors keep with
in 5000 in their bids, the extra $1,000 be
ing needed for equipping the building, but
the two advertisements for bids failed 20
develop any that named so low a figure
1t was therefore regarded as necessary TO
change plans and specifications in order
that the contractors may find it possible
to put up the building.
Fire apparatus for the building, once it
has been built, must be supplied ultimate
ly by special purchase, either of APPARATUS
for it or for another. In the latter case,
the apparatus now used in one of the es-
tablished stations would be transferred to
the Eighth street building. Until the need
could be supplied. the present apparatus
owned by the city could be so distributed
as TO supply the new engine house.
