TOMBSTONE THEN AND NOW.
An Old Sexton Regrets That There
Is Less Display 0f Affection.
Ero,,o tho Maui Vorlr Cun

Is Less Display of Affection.
From the New York Sun.
An old sexton in one of the down
town burial grounds was arranging
plants in the old yard where he has
been for many years. Cuddled a bit
he talked and this is part of what he
said:
at seems to me that the living of
to-day are not quite so affectionate
about their dead as their forefathers
used to be. Leastwise they don't show
it on the tombstones.
"If you will examine closely you will
find on every tombstone in this yard
some tender words. Here lies the be-
loved wife there, AT rest in the bosom
of God over yonder, Fell asleep in
Jesus again, In loving remembrance
of devoted wife; just beyond, In the
blessed hope of a glorious immortal
ity'
There is a tribute to every one of
the dead in this yard. You will find
around the corner a monument erected
To the memory of a beloved aunt You
see it made no difference a long time
ago what the kinship was. All these
stones are not in memory of a hus-
band, or wife, or son, or daughter.
DO you remember the inscription on
that monument away up on Riverside
Drive, in the shadow of Grants tomb?
Erected to the memory of an amiable
child is the reading, although few peo-
pie ever quote it correctly.
You will wander about the ceme-
teries of New York long time before
you will find an inscription like that.
l suppose amiable children still live
and die, but who ever thinks of say
ing so on a tombstone after the child
is dead?
"In the newer cemeteries are many
costly monuments and tablets and
mausoleums. They are erected, no
doubt with as much affection as these
old stones were. But you don't find
any of the tender tributes cut on them
which you find here, granting that you
have to look pretty closely for some of
these.
THE beloved aunt hasn't anything
| of that kind to her memory on the
| costly shafts nave seen in the newer
cemeteries 1 read the name of the dead,
his birth and death. Nothing to tell
whether the dead was a father, hus-
band, a brother, or a son.
| "They say 1t makes no difference to
| the dead. Well. that's so, 1 suppose.
But can't help thinking that it kind
| O. interests the living.
"It makes you think a little better of
the world to read that it has remem-
bered a devoted wife, that it has
missed a man who passed away in the
hope of better things; that the beloved
aunt was not forgotten.
LAS you pass out through the east
gate, sir, you will see a slab on which
there is hardly a letter to be deci-
phered. But before the cuttings wore
away they read: 'Hic facet a Noble
Friend Does any modern stone cutter
ever cut 'IIic Jacet?' And where to a
Noble Friend?

SALT A PNEUMONIA CURE.
Discovery Announced Before a Med
zeal Convention.
From the Chicago Tribune

From the Chicago Tribune.
After experimenting for several
months DR.. w. Byron Coakley of this
city has discovered he believes. a
method of curing pneumonia by means
of sodium chloride. The manner Of
using this chemical, and the apparatus
required in its application, were made
public in a paper read by the doctor
before the American Medical Associa-
ton at its Saratoga, n. Y, convention
last week. His theory has been Bit
terly attacked and defended by those
who are considered authorities on the
subject.
The proposition of Dr.. Coakley is
that "all bacteria directly or indirect
ly concerned in the production of pneu-
monia succumb to an per cent. So
dunn chloride solution at Temperatures
ranging from 100 to 100 degrees Fair
enheit." That this is true is not de-
MED, but the value of the discovery,
the doctor says. is in the method and
apparatus that he has used in applying
the solution.
In his paper and experiments before
the Saratoga convention DR.. Coakley
used an instrument invented by him
self, called the "organometer. This
overcomes all objections to the use of
a liquid injection, he explained, in that
it reached the diseased portions of the
lungs without any injury to those or
gans. 1t does this by the use of a
fine gold needle that punctures the
lungs and spreads the solution. When
the lungs have been reached the sodi-
UNI chloride is pumped into them and
takes immediate effect.
The heated solution. when it reaches
the bacteria the physician explains,
first inhibits their growth and then de-
Stroys them, the salt acting all the time
as an antiseptic of an effective type.
1t increases the white blood cells in the
infected parts, the doctor holds, thus
Strengthening the diseased organ,
while it destroys and aids in the carry
ing away of the dead and dying micro
organisms.
After the salt solution cools to the
body temperature. it is absorbed into
the blood and does not clog up the
lungs. In doing this it protects the
red corpuscles against destruction by
the poisons of pneumonia and it's ac-
emulation of carbon dioxide. This
method of absorption has been named
"endosmosis" by DR.. Coakley, and is
declared by him to be effective.
The washing out of the lungs by
means of salt solutions has been tried
before, but in practically every case the
patient has been unable to stand the
| treatment. The inability to use the
| solution was urged against DR.. Coax
ley's method until the demonstration
| before the association showed it's sue
cess.
When the paper was read at Saratoga
1t created a Juror among the physicians
and was attacked by many physicians
| but has found a number of defenders.

MIR. w. f. Wimpy's Proposition to
His Creditors.

MIR. w. f. Wimpy's Proposition to
His Creditors.
Mr.. w. E. Wimpy wants his credit
ors to take his stock in trade, notes.
account and real estate and release him
from further liability on the score of
what he owes them. 1t is said that
his proposition will be accepted.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Wimpy made
proposition to his creditors, Offering
compromise settlement of 40 per cent,
in addition to dividends that had been
paid from the business since he had
been conducting it for them. Practi-
cally all of the creditors had accepted
this proposition. but Mr.. Wimpy is not
| able to live up to IT,
| Emile Newman. Esq, attorney for
Mr.. Wimpy. has issued a statement
for him. which sets forth that Mr..
wimpy was not able to raise the neces-
sary funds to carry out the agreement
to pay 40 per cent. He was promised
assistance at the time, but those as
surances, his attorney states, have not
materialized, Mr. Wimpy finding him
self lin the unenviable position of utter
inability to carry out the above named
! agreement"
The statement recites that Mr. VIM
py is willing, as he has always been, to
act in good faith toward his creditors,
and is ready to make deed of convey
ance or assignment of all his property
to Mr.. NJ. A. OByrne. trustee for the
creditors, for their equal benefit, pro-
vided that they will accept such COM
| plete conveyance in full satisfaction OF
their claims and release him absolutely
Bankruptcy Is named as the only al
tentative for this proposition, and it is
recited that, whether by voluntary OF
| involuntary process, bankruptcy will be
expensive, with the expenses to be met
| from the assets. In addition, Mr.
Wimpy would be entitled to claim his
homestead rights of $1,000. On the
contrary, his attorney sets. forth, he
would walk out without one cent If his
creditors should see fit to accept his
proposition 1t is urged upon then
that they accept the assets, undinlin
ished by bankrupt court costs, and they
are reminded that their debtor would
eventually emerge with his legal dis
charge from his liabilities.
I
out of bankruptcy" the statement con
cludes, land no effort has been spared
to bring about the best results for cred
itors. That he has not succeeded il
his efforts is not Mr.. Wimpy's fault
but his great misfortune. We hav
at all times acted in accord with MI
O'Byrne, the trustee selected by tn
creditors, and before issuing this let
ter, 1 conferred with him fully. 1t j
: important in order to stop heavy an
unavoidable expense, that an early cop
clusion be reached, and l therefore be
the favor of an immediate reply"
Mr.. Wimpy's furniture establish
; ment on Broughton street is till oper
but it is evident from the tenor of tn
concluding paragraph of the letter tina
; 1t is desired to close out as soon a
possible. 1t is said that Messrs. LiV

thought about it the less credit he was
disposed to give to the cub pilot 5
scheme, however nice it might appear in
poetry OF the newspapers.

and engine room of steamboat are con

but with speaking tube, through which

of funnel as big as n half -bushel

was bordering the emergency question he

speaking tube it was the work of but n

tlammable material in his hand and

HE WAS SMOKED OUT"
The Real Reason Why Mark Twain Quit
the River

Tie NIFSls
"What Caused Mark Twain to Leave
the River, or Why a Great Humorist
Did Not Become a Second Jim Bludso,'
is one of the books that has never been
written by Samuel L. Clemens or anyone
else. So far as known, the story has
never even appeared in print, although it
is vouched for by several of the old river
men who have the yarn-spinning habit.
According to these authorities Mark
Twain never became a full-fledged pilot
and never stood a night watch alone. In
other words, while he had a pilots IL
cense, his mastery of the great river craft
on which he rode was always limited by
the understanding that an older and more
experienced head was within easy call.
This was no discredit to the young pilot.
On the occasion in question, it matters
not what the year or boat. the steamer 10
which young Clemens was attached as
cub pilot was bound up stream with n
heavy cargo of cotton. At the officers
table the first day out from Natchez.
Miss. the talk turned upon what to do
in sudden emergencies, and especially in
case of fire on a steamer loaded with
cotton. The matter was discussed in all
its bearings, each of those present giving
his ideas upon the subject. Mark
Twain. like most of the others, held 10
the notion that it was tIe pilots duty in
such an emergency. to emulate the now
famous Jim Bludso and hold her nozzle
to the bank till the last galoot's ashore.
Immediately after dinner Clemens went
to the pilot house 10 stand his watch.
