Mr.. COCHRAN TO THE RESCUE.

1t is rather difficult to determine from Mr..
Bourke Cockran's announcement of his decision
TO support Mr.. Shepard whether the faVorite
orator of Tammany in days gone by is humor-
ist or singulary deficient in a characteristic
quality of his race. AS we understand him, Mr..
Cochran intends to take the stump in behalf Of
Crokers candidate for the purpose of demon
strating the proposition that Croker is dread
full creature; that the organization which he
wields for his own pocket all the time is un-
speakaby corrupt and Oppressive that it needs
TO be numerically punished If not actually
stamped out of existence, and that, Mr.. Shepard
having recently had the nerve TO intimate
mild opinion TO a somewhat similar effect, it is
now both pleasure and duty to commit him
irrevocably 10 that programme while there is
still ample time for Tammany to get fighting
mad and slaughter him at the polls.
AS Mr.. Shepard recalls the deXterous phrases
in which he at once inflicted and pOultced the
faithful wounds of a friend in Tammany Hall
the other evening, he must contemplate the un-
foreseen assistance of Mr.. Cochran at future
operations with considerable misgiving. His
plan was to make the organization feel light
some and cheerful by means of a little harm
less bloodletting; whereas Mr.. Cochran is ap-
preaching with a dubbed musket and ma
chete and crying aloud to Croker: IF this be
treason. make the most of it, We should not
wonder if Croker adopted the hypothesis and
accepted the challenge.

MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA.

The theory that one particular genus of mos.
quito. anopheles, is responsible for the spread
of malarial fevers has been received by the
medical profession with considerable favor. But
it is far from being well established yet Those
who take a broad and judicial view of the oues
tion have kept in mind two contingencies which
might arise at any time. One was the finding
of places where the accused insects abound, but
malaria is lacking. The other was the discovery
of malaria without mosquitoes
The first of these possibilities is now a reality
And, curiously enough, the facts are reported bv
one of the most conspicuous champions of the
doctrine on whose validity they have BEARING
DR.. Grassi says that at Massarosa, in Central
Italy malaria was once prevalent but has of
late disappeared. Nevertheless rice culture.
which requires the flooding of fields and pro.
notes the breeding of mosquitoes, has been
steadily on the increase there. Lest the latter
might enjoy some special immunity. pains have
been taken to infect them artficially, but with
out any apparent effect on the people of that
community.
The only conclusion which DR.. Grassi is ahla
TO draw is that disease does not ALWAYS occur
in districts favorable to its propagation. This
is true in regard to individuals who are exposed
TO the contagion of yellow fever diphtberia
smallpox and grip, but it is remarkable thar a
whole town should be immune. Eventually
perhaps a satisfactory explanation of the case
may be found In the mean time the candor of
DIR. Grassi in revealing facts which seem to
initiate against his doctrine is worthy of MOTION
though they are not so significant as wouId
be the thoroughly demonstrated existence of
malaria upaccompanied by mosquitoes Here

Five Hundred and Twenty Per Cent"
Miller was so bold swindler and plundered so
many people that it must be considered es-
pecially unfortunate that the prosecution in his
case was carried so carelessly that reversal
because of mere legal technicalties has been
granted upon appeal. The prospect that the
multitude of unhappy victims will ever get back
any considerable percentage Of the money which
this audacious rascal and his accomplices flched
from them is now by no means encouraging.
New-York tribune., 1901-10-22

The falsehoods concerning local affairs which
Tammany is displaying freely in conspicuous
posters throughout the boroughs of New-fork
recall to mind the cheap slurs and insults which
this same organization exhibited on poles and
banners when the business mems parade for
Mckinley and against Bryan made so imposing
a demonstration last year. Those ribald evil
dences of Tammany coarseness and brutality
did Bryan more harm than good, and the Tam
many plaeards in this campaign will hurt Mr.
Shepard more than they will help him.

Mr. Croker has engaged jockey named Nc

MR.. M'LENDON SURRENDERS.
Ready to Stand Trial On Charge of
Shooting a Negro Girl in Dihi-
Guilty Aboard Train.

Waycross, Ga, April 15-Ephraim Nc
Lendon. of Mcdonald, Coffee county,
came down this morning and gave him
self up to await action by the grand jury.
The charge against Mr.. McLendon is
murder. the facts connected with the
case being as follows: On the night of
Dec. II, 1900, at the conclusion of the per-
Torrance given by John Robinson's cir
Gus, the Brunswick and Western train
pulled out from Waycross for Albany
with a large crowd aboard. bound for
points along the line. A dispute arose on
the train between parties living at Wares
boro, and others living in Coffee county.
Arriving at Waresboro, the quarrel had
become quite hot, and as the train pulled
out from the town somebody fired a re-
volver into the crowd. A twelve-year-old
colored girl was struck in the stomach
and died from the effects of the wound.
Coroner Grimes went up and held an in
quest. The evidence adduced was such
that he had warrants issued against
Thos. Sears. of Ware county, and Eph-
RAIN McLendon, of Coffee county, charg-
ing them with the killing. Sears was
arrested and gave bond McLendon has
not been arrested, but this morning came
IN ana gave himself up, ready for an in
vestigation by the grand jury. Mr.. Nc
Lendon says he is prepared to prove that
he did not do the shooting, and is con-
hdent that he will be acquitted.
Coroner Jackson Grimes went down to
Schlatterville on the Brunswick and West
ern Railroad, yesterday, to hold an in
quect over the dead body of Thomas
Thomas, who died Saturday afternoon
under rather suspicious circumstances.
Mr. Thomas wife died last fall very sud
denly. After investigation by the cor
oner, Thomas was arrested on the charge
of having poisoned her. He was given a
preliminary hearing and remanded to Jail
to await trial. In the meantime the con-
tents of the dead woman's stomach were
sent to the state chemist for analysis,
and Thomas was released on 5000 bond,
pending the result of his Investigations.

Columbia, S. c., April 15.-It would
seem as if men who have made money in
this section would have read enough or
heard enough to avoid gold bricks, but
it is understood at least three men in
North Carolina are victims of the gang
arrested in North Carolina. They have
dropped several thousand dollars and
seem too ashamed of themselves to be ac-
tive in the prosecution of the ewindlers.
The twenty-hfth annual session of the
State Grand Lodge of the knights OF
Honor will convene here Wednesday. Fiji
ty.six lodges will be represented and it
will be gathering of representative men.

One of the Best Features
OF the Pyramid Pile Cure

Is the fact that it cures every form of
Piles without one particle of pain. This
desirable point is not obtained by the use
of injurious opiates which simply deaden
and paralyze the nerves fthe parts and
make matters worse in the long run. But
ii is done solely by it's remarkably healing
and soothing effects. And while 1t thus
gives immediate relief, at the same time
the disease is not merely checked, but a
radical cure is rapidly accomplished. And
the point we want to make clear is that
all this is done without particle of pain.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been before
the public too long and its merits recog-
nized by too many people to allow it to
be classed with the many salves, SUPPOSE
tories, pills, etc, and your run no risk in
trying it, as is often the case with new
and untried preparations. If you are
ever troubled with any form of piles or
rectal disease do not forget the Pyramid
Pile Cure. Prepared by Pyramid Drug
Company, Marshall, Mich, and sold by
all druggists at so cents per package.

Ugly Rumors at Memphis.

three of the original eight named to start,
faced the flag. Schorr's crack colt,
Charles w. Meyer. for which an offer of
$4,000 was made recently, seemed 10 have
the stake at his mercy. but at about 8
o'clock he was scratched. Inquiry at the
paddock developed a sensational rumor
that the colt had been poisoned and that
for that reason was unable to face the
starter. Two veterinary surgeons were
summoned and after carefully examining
the horse said he was suffering from
blood poisoning. The horses head was
badly swollen. The theory that the colt
had been deliberately poisoned was gen.
orally discredited, and the opinion is that
the colt suffered a bite from a spider.
