JUNGLE FEVER.
Horrors of Disease Distracted the Mind
Of an Army officer.

There is a sad story behind the
resignation Of Second Lieut.. j. H.
Bradford, Seventeenth infantry, son
of the late Lieut.. Col. Bradford, Of the
Nineteenth infantry, says the Wash
ington Star. Young Bradford, who
was ordered to the Philippines, DIS
appeared from San Francisco in a
mysterious manner about three
months ago, and the war department
was unable to secure any information
as to his whereabouts until a few days
ago, when he was found living in a
boarding house IN st, Louis, ekingout
a p%recarious existence as a teacher
and ~wheelwright under an assumed
name. a brief investigation showed
that theyoung man hadlost hismind,
and his condition was attributed to
the fact that be had a severe attackof
Jungle fever while servingi in the Phil
ippines nearly two years before. i
was undoubtedly the recollection Of
that experience which ledtohis deser-
ton at San Francisco and made him
hide from the military authorities
lie was placed in a detention ward at
Jefferson barracks, St. Louis, for OBJ
scFyation. and while there rendered
his resignation. His friends endcay.
oTcd to keep him in the army on the
thecry that his malady would yisld
TO treatment, but Lieut.. Bradford
paid no attention to their appeals anC
insisted on the acceptance Of his resig
nation. That action was taken by thu
president a few days ago and young
Bradford is now out Of the militar,
service.

A USE OF BOOKS.


New Afinitiss and Interests.
One Of the chief USES of books is
found in their power Of expanding
the mental horizon and bringing one
into relation with a vast range Of in
terests that without them would be
closed to us. A few persons may learn
directly from Stanley or Nansen about
his experiences or observations on his
famous journeys, but in his books,
what he saw and felt and thought is
the property of us all. We plunge
with one into the Dark Continent;
we sail with the other into the frozen
seas. The book serves the mind as the
telescope does the eye. 1t may plaus-
IDLY be said that the newspaper brings
before us the story Of the days ashley
pass, but it does not bring US into re-
lation with the forces and tendencies
and records Of the past without which
the present cannot be understood.
Knowledge is not wisdom, butiti is the
raw material Of wisdom. And beyond
this, who can estimate the refining
and Strengthening influence that is
brought to bear upon character by a
familiarity through reading with
noble sentiments and just interpreta-
tions Of life. Let the English Bible,
or Hsmer, or Shakespeare, or Words
worth, or even a single gem like the
thirteenth chapter Of First Corinthi-
ans, or Keats Ode on a Grecian Urn
which is probably the most perfect
poem in English-sink into memory's
Imagination and affection, and ones
whole mental outlook and temper are
transformed. He has developed new
afiuities. and is swayed BY new in
fuences. Boston Waterman.

CURE FOR A sToop.

Penalty.

Involved Both a Reminder and a Heavy
Penalty.
A surgeon was consulted BY a gem
tleman, who is now one OF our first
tragedians, as to The best mode Of cor
recting a stoop which he had ac-
quired. The surgeon told him that
neither stays nor straps would do him
any essential good, and that the only
method Of succeeding was to recollect
to keep his shoulders back byavolun-
tary effort.
But the tragedian replied that this
hecould not do, as his mind was other
wise occupied. The surgeon then
told him he could give him no further
assistance.
Shortly after this conversation the
actor ordered his tailor to make him
. coat Of the finest kerseymere, SO as
to fit him very tightly when his shoul-
ders were thrown back. Whenever
his shoulders fell forward he was re-
minded by a pinch under the arms
that his coat cost himsix guineas, and
that ii was made Of very fragile ma
t%erials; being thus forced, forthe SAKE
Of his fine coat, TO keep his shoulders
back, he soon cured himself Of tho
stoop.
The surgeon was much obliged t.
him for theaint and afterward, wher
consulted whether young ladies

ALvEs PRESIDENT OF BRAZIL.
New Executive, Elected for Term Of
Four Years, Is an Able Man.

VO0T CdTS, 70 du SNOI0 NudUs
New York, March 12.-Senor A Fon-
toura Xavier, Brazilian consul general
IN this city, has received private ca
BILE dispatch fran Rio de Janeiro an
nouncing the election of DR.. Francisco
do Paula Rodrigues Alves as president
OF Brazil.
Dr. Rodrigues Alves for many years
has been conspicuous figure in the
politics of Brazil. He is a native of the
state of Sac Paula, and is now governor
OF that progressive and rich state. He
resigned federal senatorship to be-
come governor. AS a f1nancier it is said
by his friends that DR.. Rodrigues Alves
has no superior in South America. His
ability was recognized by President
Peixoto. who appointed him minister of
finance in his cabinet. President Mo-
raes retained him in that place.
The president-e is lawyer and
has occupied a leading place at the bar.
He has been lected as the candidate
of the republican party and his election
is considered great triumph because
Of the high standing and prominence
OF his defeated opponent, DR.. Ubaidino
do Amaral. DIR. Alves will be inaugu-
rated on Nov. Is, the anniversary of the
proclamation of Brazil's independence.
The tenure of Office is four years.

TWENTY THOUSAND IDLE
The Strike Situation at Boston
Has Become a Serious
Proposition.
II Began With 800 Men and Has
Extended Until 10000
Are Idle.
Both Sides Refuse to Recede
From Their Pisitions.-Han.
mas Aid Asked.

Boston. March 12.-The strike of sou
New York. New Haven & Hartford
railroad freight handlers, which began
last Saturday, has extended until now
there are 90 900 men idle in this city.
OF these. 5000 to 5000 are employed by
manufacturing concerns which nave
been compelled to shut down because OF
the difficulty of handling freight. The
various lines of industry directly
reached by the strike include freight
handlers, team drivers, wool handlers
longshoremen and railway switchmen.
If the threats of the strike leaders are
carried out Thursday will see the
movement extended to the building
trades unions and the unions connected
with the foreign steamship traffic. BUS
mess men of the city find themselves
staggered by the strike. Many confer
ences have been held and the influence
of the civic federation has been invoked
and the state board of arbitration has
tried to find ground for agreement be-
tween the parties at war, but apparent
ly there is little confidence that the de-
sired result will be reached by these
means. There was great hope that the
meeting arranged by Governor Crane,
between the labor leaders, railroad off,
cials and merchants, held at the state
house today, would show some way
out, but as far as can be learned moth
ing definite has resulted. The strike
committee told the governor their or
ganizations had decided to stand by the
proposition that the strike would be de-
clared off If the railroad would consent
that no freight handlers should go OH
any team delivering goods at the
freight sheds. The railroads have re-
fused to consider this proposition and
the governor decided he could not do
anything.

week he accompanied Augusta Zilske,
the young woman who was brought
here from Chicago to the home OF her
father, Carl Zilske, of Ellis town

"hustler' for a questionable hotel.

husband into Chicago, will remain
