FINDS TUBERCULOSIS CURE.
New York Physician Claims to Have
Discovered Fluid Which VIII
Destroy Germs of Disease.

DR.. Wilfred G. Fralick, of New York,
is the latest medical man to evolve a
cure for tuberculosis. After seven
years of patient experiment he an
nounced his successful achievement,
and to-day gave a public demonstra-
tion of his treatment of two patients
at the Metropolitan hospital, Black
wells island.
my treatment must succeed" is his
radical affirmation, "or the whole germ
theory prove false. My experiments
have reached such stage that it is no
longer question of tuberculosis, but
whether the patient has enough lung
tissue left to carry on the functions OF
the body when freed from germs. On
that alone depends his lease of life"
The cure consists of the infusion ot
liquid directly into the circulation
which has properties similar to those
existing in all normal blood. The com.
ponent parts of this fluid the doctor
will make public later.

James Younger win Marry.

James Younger, one of the notorious
bandits now out on parole under life
sentence, is to marry Miss Alix j. Muel-
Ter, formerly society editor on a st.
Paul paper, according to report pub
lished at st. Paul. Miss Mueller could
not be seen, but her friends say she
has made the announcement.
, James Younger is out of flown trav-
cling for tombstone manufacturer,
and his version of the affair could not
be learned.
Miss Mueller formerly lived in Mis-
souri, near the home of the Younger
brothers, though she did not know the
family. Upon coming to Minnesota
she became interested in the prisoners,
and made heroic efforts to secure their
release. She made frequent visits to
the penitentiary, and it is said that
these visits ripened into love on both
sides.

WIFE SLEEPS TOO MUCH.
Cincinnati Man Asks for Divorce
from His Life Partner for
Very Odd Reason.

The oldest reason for divorce
advanced in Court for, years is on
behalf of Isaac Alexander. a, foundry
man for the Oberhe1mann company
at CINCINNATI. Isaac said In his Plea
that Anna, his wife, sleeps from six
o'clock in the evening, without n slip
or break, until six o'clock the follow
ing evening.
Alexander says he does not know
what legal ground for divorce such a
strange condition comes under, bat
he is inclined to think it can be cata-
logued as ''willful Absence" but he
does not rest his fate on that alone.
Alexander asserts also that during
her few wakcful hours his wife is a
willing and prolific prey for fortune
teflers, clairvoyants, sons and daugh-
ters of any, old thing in the mystic
line, and as a result of this der iora-
bic condition her hus band says that
while she is often present in body
she is more often "astralizing" in the
unknown. Hence he~wants divorce
and all other relief to which he may
be entitled.

Russin After American Gun.

Frank NJ. Garland, the gun inven-
tor, has been in conference at New
Haven with an agent of the Russian
government, and the result of the
conference will probably be the pur-
chase by that government of one of
the Garland gun patents. The one
test that has already been had was
satisfactory. The Russian represent
ative will attend a second test, and if
it proves as satisfactory as the first
he told Inventor Garland that his gov
ernment would likely purchase it.
The gun is for use on the fighting
tops of battleships, weighs 500 pounds
and fires a one-pound steel bullet au-
tomatically at the rate of 20 min
ute. In the first test of the gun a few
days ago Inventor Garland said that
the gun put a shot through a one.
inch thickness of chilled steel.
