A TRIUMPH OF SCIENCE.

1t is difficult to conceive Of any tri-
umph of science which would bring
greater joy to more people than the
discovery by DR.. Charles Wardell Stiles
of the germ Of laziness. In round
numbers, there are hundred thou
sand individuals in Baltimore who
know that, so far as training, equip
ment and intellect are concerned, they
are the equals of any man living; yet
they don't do things, and their con-
sciences and their relatives are eontin-
ually pricking them because they don't.
Their minds are filled with profitable,
noble and brilliant ideas, which they
intend to carry into effect some day,
but they have a deep~abiding disincli-
nation to start about doing it. I'll ma
tured acquaintance call them lazy,
and try to spur them to action by init
mating that that is something discredi-
table. But now we know that there is
nothing discreditable about it; it is
simply uncinariasis.
No one likes to think ill OF himself,
and it is readily seen how this discov-
cry Will enhance the self-respect of
those we have referred to. When in
past days the housewife, usually de-
scrlbed as long suffering" greeted her
worser half with some such remark as
DO get up and do something, you idle
brute!" the unhappy gentleman ad
dressed felt mean and ashamed of him.
self. He will not feel so any more.
Rather will he demand: Have you no
sympathy for an invalid? I am not at
fault; I am Ill., And with clear con-
science will he resign himself to SUM
Der or to sIumberous reverie.
We can all see the truth of DR.. Stiles
contention that laZiness is disease,
now that he has called attention to it.
Not only is 1t disease, but 1t Is con-
tagious disease. Everyone has noticed
how whole families are afflicted with it.
Everyone has noticed how often when
so-called lazy man marries an ener-
getic woman or vice versa, the other
soon becomes a victim to the same
complaint. The southern crackers"
are not the only ones who suffer from
It, The parasite unquestionably is pre-
valent in Maryland, and even farther
north. 1t thrfves especially in the
spring-tirne, when the thawing out of
the ground permits the escape Of myr-
lads of the germs. Spring fever, of
course, is another name for uncinaria-
sis.
Great Is science! How peacefully
hereafter shall we echo Coventry Pat
mores words, FOR want Of me the
worlds work will not fall" and resign
70 of
only disagreeable thing about it Is that
the effect of uncinariasis on ones for
tune is quite as disastrous as If it were
more common, ordinary shiftlessness.-

FORTUNE MADE HER FAINT.

! A Seamstress Overheard About Com
stock Lode and invested.
James r. keene, famous the world
over for his large winnings on the race
track, got a valuable tip" from a wo-
man. 1t is related that a gambler
/ named Baldwin went West with his
wife in the early SOS, but fortune did
! not favor him, and when he died his
! widow had nothing but few diamonds,
! the relics of happier days, and her
skill as an expert seamstress.
| The needle, however, gave her some
| thing of livelihood until at u fortu
| nate moment she met Mrs. John W.
! Mackay, then at Virginia City, and was
| engaged by her, living with the Mack
| avs during the time when the famous
! ComstocK lode was still a mystery.
The members Of the big four used to
meet in Mackays cabin and talk over
| the prospects in open session. quite re-
CARELESS Of the presence Of their wives.
Mrs. Baldwin. however, had learned
| from her husband the significance Of
the technical mining and stock terms,
and the big strike was not many hours
old before she understood it.
Going to San Francisco she looked up
broker and quite by accident hap
pened upon James r. Keene, then a
Californian, to whom she stated her
circumstances and said she wanted him
to sell her diamonds for her and invest
in COmstock.
Why Comstock?" asked Keene, sur
prised at the unhesitating manner she
staked her all in what seemed to him a
doubtful proposition. She explained
and the shrewd financier listened with
glistening eye.
Now, Mrs. Baldwin," he said, I'll
tell you what we'll do. You keep your
diamonds. Get a value on them and
I'll invest that amount for you and
protect it in case Of fluctuations. You
watch the reports and when you see fit
let me know and I'll close it out"
Mrs. Baldwin watched the market as
she continued her dressmaking dream
ing Of a competency that would enable
her to return 10 her home and live in
comfort. Comstock rose and rose. In
fact, it became the wonder of the day,
and when Mrs. Baldwin figured that
she had from $4,000 to $4,000 waiting
her command, she hurried to Keene to
close out.
James r. greeted her warmly, told
his bcolzkeeper to cash up the account
and make out the check. Now that the
deal was over Mrs. Baldwin became
nervous, and as Keene turned from her
to sign the valued document her impa
thence got the best of her.
How much is it, Mr.. Keene?" she
asked.
With good-natured carelessness the
fnancier replied: Six hundred and
forty thousand" Then he turned to
hand her the check, but Mrs. Baldwin
had to be lifted from the floor and re-
stored to consciousness before she
could take it.
Keene however, received his own
winnings with less nervousness, and his
subsequent career shows that he knew
how to double on them.-Chicago

DANGERS OF POSTAL. SERVICE.
Yet a High Standard of Devotion T.
JOg1TIr ic Maintained

Yet a High Standard of Devotion to
Duty is Maintained.
One clerk was busy throwing mail in
combinat ton smoker and baggage
car, when suddenly, without an in
stant's warning, he felt the car leap
from the track and heard a terrific
crash. When he regained conscious
ness the wreck presented this chaotic
condition; the two forward cars had
been plunged down seventy-foot en-
bankment, the combination car landed
in an upright position with the rear
trucks on the roof, every seat in the
smoking compartment being utterly de-
molisfed, while on the floor of the
mail compartment was huge angular
stone weighing not less than half
ton. How the mail clerk escaped I'M
hurt will always be a mystery.
There is probably no department of
the government service in which a
higher standard of devotion to duty is
maintained than in this. During a
heavy freshet on the Susquehanna riv-
err, in 1890 all bridges were swept away
and the railroad tracks along the
banks practically destroyed. -Four mail
clerks remained in their car until the
water rising and flowing through the
doors compelled them to take to an
improvised raft which consisted Of
pieces OF floating sidewalks and other
debris Of the inundation, dashed to-
gether. On this frail craft they put
their pouches and carefully propelling
by poles along with the current, gained
the postoffice a mile away. They
found this abandoned, with eight feet
of water in the street at that point.
They were almost exhausted and their
condition was precarious. Finally,
however, they were rescued by boats
and taken into houses through the sec
ond-story windows The letter mail
was all intact and in fairly good con-
dition.
Some time ago the run" on western
road was short 9 clerk because of
sickness. An official Of the service
happened to be on the train and volun-
teered his services For fifteen hours
he stuck to his work at the letter case.
In the journey Of more than five hun
bred miles he had only a sandwich or
two Cor food. and stood on his feet
without relief. There are other in
stances on record where entire crews

FIRE BUT NO WATER
A Store and Residence Burn
Outside City Limits
The Property Of Mr.. NJ. T. Norris and Valued
at So, 500 With $1,000 insurance
on Them,

Flames lighted up the eastern portion
Of Raleigh yesterday morning shortly af-
ter two o'clock, and the fire had about
burned itself out before the FIRE alarm
was sounded.
The buildings on fire consisted OF a
large frame dwelling house and a store,
corner Of East Hareett and Cotton
streets, outside Of the city limits. The
dwelling and store were unoccupied and
were the property OF Mr.. NJ. r. Norris.
They were valued at $500 and had in
surance TO the, amount of $500.
The fire started about two o'clock
in the rear of the dwelling. 1t spread
rapidly and soon the store was in flames.
Just across Cotton street the store of All
Ferrall was in danger but heroic work
with water buckets saved it.
Finally an alarm was turned in from
box 20. The hook and ladder company
came. but it could do nothing, as the
walls of both buildings had fallen in.
The origin of the fire is not known
A high wind would have swept away
many houses. For the protection
of people on the outskirts OF the city
II would seem a wise step for the city
to aid in establishing some fire protection
beyond the limits.

BULLET AND TORCH
Dozen Dead or Dying Result
ofDesperate Battle in
Kentucky.
iRv the Assoeiated Press.l

Middlesboro. KY. Feb. l2,--six are
dead and as many more are dying as the
result Of a battle between Middlesboro
officers and mountaineers.
The battle, one Of the most desperate
OF It's kind in the history Of the noun
tain warfare, occurred between 4 and 6
o'clock this afternoon at Lee Turner'S
saloon, three and a half miles from
Middlesboro ~
Last month Turner had some mules
and other goods levied on in payment for
debt and few nights ago, II Is said.
he with others went to Virginia. where
the property had been taken, secured
what was formerly his and returned to
his house.
Today Deputy Sheriff VIM. Thompson
summoned a posse of ten or fifteen men
for the purpose Of arresting Turner.
Railroad transportation was refused the
officers. and they footed II through the
mountains.
Turner had heard that an attempt
would be made TO arrest him and he and
his men, fifteen In number. were pre-
pared. The saloon Is built of huge logs,
n
whiefis loop holes were cut. Turner'S
surrender was demanded. His reply was
a round OF shots. Charley c. Cecil. of
Middlesboro. was riding palfrey in
plain view OF the Turner gang. Some one
believed TO have been Mike Welch,
Turner's bartender, fired through a
window killing Cecil. Instantly the muir
derer fell back, pierced by half dozen
bullets The officers scattered. hiding
behind trees and rocks.
In the shooting that followed John
Doyle, q former railroad man, was bad
ly wounded, perhaps fatally, and Simon
Bean, another ex-railroader was shot. A
torch was applied TO an exposed side Of
the building and in few minutes the
building was in flames. Several OF the
lnountaineers came to the window and
were Immediately shot down. Lee Tur-
ner and several of his friends, however,
escaped and are reported to be at Mingo
Mines, eight miles from Middlesboro.
Several of his men perished in tho
flames Many rpnlors are reported to-
night, one being that five OF the Turner
gang were killed and that five more
persisted in the flames. It Is also be-
lieved that the deputies lost several men.
Some of the deputies came in tonight
and state that half of the men are still
at the saloon, and they will return with
reinforcements. 1t is feared that the
trouble is not at an end
Turner, it is said, graduated from
college at Rose Hill, Va.
His saloon is known for the difficulties
that have occurred there. Placing the
days number OF deaths at only six, fifty
nine have been killed there and twice
that number wounded.
