AN UNUSUAL EXHIBITION.
Extraordinary Parting Takes Place
Between Two Men at n Rail-
way station.

An elderly man and his strapping son
stood in a railway station one day late
" awaiting a train. The son Was an
eihle etic-lOoking chap, who attracted
general attention by his magnificent
proportions, says the Baltimore News.
Apparently he was going west. At all
events, when his train was called the
iookers-on fairly held their breaths
with surprise. for the younger man put
his arms around the elder one and
kissed him fairly and squarely on his
mustached mouth. Then he scurried
through the gate, and the last view of
him showed him waving a farewell
from the back platform of the sleep
ing car.
The remarkable thing about this lit
tie scene was that both participants in
AZ were Americans. One wouldn't have
been surprised at such a show of af-
lection il they had been Germans or
Frenchmen or Italians; but il was an
sual exhibition for practical, un-
sentimental young America TO make.
The average native of the United
States, should he return from Darkest
Africa after an absence of ten years.
would shake hands wiea his father just

within his gate. and he would ask both
affably 10 have a cigar. On the other
hand, his masculine relatives would
cvince their interest and affection by
asking him if his boat were on time.

TO be looked upon as a foolish cere-
mony performed TO pFopitiate the fem
inine members. and too undignifed 70

HIS SANITY QUESTIONED.
The Mental Condition of Michael
DOrsch TO BE EnquIred Into.

Michael Dcrsch. ffty-five years old,
was locked up at the Fourth precinct sta
tionhoUse yesterday afternoon to await
IN examination into the question of his
sanity. Mr.. Dorsch was at one time q
well known restaurant keeper in this
city. but of late has been supported by
his boys, who have built up prosperous
baking business at 30s-31O Dixon's Court
and at a larger establishment on Vir-
ginia Avenue between First and Second
Streets.
Until recently Mr.. Dorsch has resided
with his family at 44S l Street southwest,
but his actions have been SO erratic that
the neighbors have complair.ed, and for
soma days past he has remained away
Yesterday morning his wife. Mrs. Cath
crime Dorsch, accompanied by PoIicems n
Cornwell visited Sanitary officer Frank
and secured the necessary papers look
ing into the question of his sanity.
DIR. Marbury visited him in his cell last
night. and after a short talk with him
certified to his being insane. After one
of the other police surgeons have seen
him he Will probaly be committed to the
asylum.
Mr. Dorsch came to Washington twenty
years ago. and with the exception of sew
eral years spent in Baltimore has re-
mained here ever since. At one time he
had an extensive trade in imported Ger
man edibles and had a number of stores
throughout the city. Later he opened

where he was well and favorably known.

A BOON TO CONSERVATIVES.
New York Physicians Try n New Tu-
berculOSis Treatment.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Dr. Wilfred G..
Fralick of this ciIy, has made public at
the Metropolitan Hospital, on Blackwell s
Island. the result of years of experiment.
ing for the cure of tuberculosis. His own
statement of his work says:
Il have been experimenting for a period
of more than seven years with fluid con-
tanning properties similar to those exist
ing in all normal blood. This fluid con-
tains compounds which will destroy all
known disease germs almost instantly,
and while its action is antagonistic to OBJ
jectionable organisms, at the same time it
will intensity and increase the desirable
properties of the blood.
This is the first time in the history of
medicine that material has been infused
into the blood with compounds which an
tagonize the germs of disease and their
poisonous emanations In fact. every cap
Hilary is flushed and every cell fed with a
most potent and in every way desirable
enemy to unnatural conditions"
DR.. Cornell and DIR. Mcknight performed
the operation with the prepa ration. Two
patients in the last stage of tuberculosis
were carried into the operating room and
after the usual antiseptic preparation a
vein OF the left arm of one and the right
arm of the other was exposed. The canula
was inserted and Dr. F'ralick's fluid was
allowed to flow in.
Sixteen ounces heated to a temperature
of 106 degrees was used in each case The
effect on both patients was the same. AL
most Immediately flush came into each
wan face. the pulse strengthened. the eyes
frightened. and what DR.. Fralick said was
a healthy perspiration showed itself on
each face and chest.
Asked what were the component parts of
the solution infused DIR. Fralick said he
was not yet ready to give it to the public
Within short time, he said. he hoped to
tell the full story of his work through the
medical journals. He said he had made
many experiments and each time with
gratifying success. When the solution
comes in contact with the bacteria in the
blood itself, he says. compounds are form
ed and nascCnt oxygen is liberated
DR.. Fralick does not hold that the treat
ment can be Of lasting service after the
disease has progressed beyond a certain
limit. but he SAYS by providing healthy
blood to the veins it will at least ease tht,
patient and lessen the suffering
