RACING AT new ORLEANS.

At New Orleans yesterday Starter Fitz-
gerald marred the feature OF the DAY,
which was the mile and 20 yards handi-
cap. by the send-off he gave the field.
Slack, who rode skiilman, was in a way
responsible for the bad start, as he beat
the barrier by two lengths. This gave
him such a commanding lad he was
never headed, winning easily by two
lengths from Senator Beveridge.
Eva Rice. the favorlte. made an attempt
10 catch the flying skillman, but quit bad
ly i'm the run home and finished In the
ruck. Monk Wayman. the good thing OF
the race. sulked all the way and finished
an eighth OF a mile behind the field.
The weather was warm and .slmy, and
the track was in fine shape. large
crowd was out. and the sport was above
the ordinary.
The stewards did not like the improve
ment that Locust Blossom showed in the
first race and issued the following: "We
recommend that the entry of the mare
Locust Blossom be refused hereafter at
this meeting when the track is heavy"

4st BROWN
Miss Kahn Suffering From
"Addison's Disease" One Of
thaRarsSt Known 10 Science

New York, March daisy Kahn, who
lives with her family AZ No 4ei Eighth
avenue, is a subject Of interest 20 many
OF the physicians of New York. because
OF the rare malady with which she is
troubled.
Her affliction is OF many years growth.
and it's development has puzzled all the
medical experts who have attempted TO
handle the case.
While at a dance last Thanksgiving
Day the girl was taken sick suddenly and
carried home. a doctor was at once
called, and soon pronounced the case a
yirulent form Of iaundice
As days went by Miss Kahn iAi not inn
prove, she became so ili that her life was
despaired OF. She continually grew
weaker and weaker, and her skin. from
the yellow hue Of jaundce. turned 20 the
deep mahogany color OF the East Indian.
The physician in charge OF the case
then announced that he was puzzled as
10 the character Of the disease and asked
that the girl be taken 10 hospital. AT
the New York Hospital. To which sho was
carried Dr. Hartley could not state the
nature Of the girls afiiiction
Numerous theories were evolved, but
recently. after carefully watching the
varying moods Of the patient, it was dis
covered that the very rare ''Addison's
disease" was the trouble
Addison's disease is as curious as II is
rare. lt IL caused by tuberculosis OF tho
superarenal capsules which are small
bodies above the kidneys. The visible
effects of the disease are discoloration
of the skin, turning IL darker and darker,
and an extreme and prolonged weakness.
In this weakness is found the great dam
ger in the mslsdy IL leaves the victim
so debilitated as TO make recovery diff
ficult.
Addison's disease is so rare that there
are few physicians i'm the city who have
ever seen case OF IL. Hence one OF the
difficulties In handling IL.
DR.. Hartley is doing all possible for Miss
Kahn, and has hopes her life may be
saved.
