sion, he was not willing to go to ex- tremes in proving it..
 Garbault, however was not so easily satisfied. He argued that the world should know wherein Dr. Koch's ar guments were correct and wherein they were lacking in fact. He was young, in perfect health, had received the degree of doctor of natural scien- ces, and had held the position of chief of the researches in zoology and comparative anatomy at the Uni versity of Bordeaux. Therefore when he offered himself to Dr. Koch for purposes of demonstration there was a perceptible stir among medical men. Dr. Koch consistently refused to consider the offer and Garbault continued his investigation to show that the theory of the German scien- tist with reference to tuberculosis inoculation was incorrect. When he offered himself to science he was firm ly convinced that he would catch the disease and in all probability could not be cured. He spent year or more m further research of cases Of tuberculosis with the avowed purpose of refuting the Koch thesis.
 Even then he was not satisfied. He still believed that practical test should be made, yet he was not will ing to ask for or accept volunteers. so in order that the world might be made the wiser he determined that he himself should carry out the ex- pertinent which Dr. Koch had refused to attempt. With this end in view he gathered about him several emil nent French physicians, and with them went to the great butcher shops of La Villette in Paris to carry out the demonstration.
 Barring his right arm, the courage ous physician with an unfiinching hand cut wound in the forearm. Then for more than two hours he ap- piled to the wound fragment of a bronchial ganglion affected by tuber- culosis and perfectly fresh, coming from COW that had been seized by the sanitary inspectors of the stock yards because it was infected with the disease. At the same time frag- ment of the ganglion was taken to be applied to another animal. Thus Garbault incoulated his blood with the deadly germs of tuberculosis and exposed himself to terrible death should his claim that the theory of Dr. Koch is untrue prove 10 be cor rect. If however, the outcome is con- trary to his expectations, he has al- ready fully decided to begin anew by using a form of injection still more dangerous being that of appli- cation between the veins.
 Garbault's experiment has attract ed widespread attention, and medi- cal men throughout the world are eagerly awaiting the outcome.

The report made by Secretary of the
 Is in entire accordance with the pre-
 dictions made some months ago, says Washington correspondent. The
 deficit for the month was a little over
 $7,00O,000. Some of the best informed
 officials of the department place the deficit for next month at $4,000000,
 and predict that they will increase con-
 tinuously from that time on. While
 the cause of this deficit is partially
 due to the repeal of the war revenue
 taxes, 1t is even more due to the high
 tariff which has resulted in falling
 off of imports and proportionate de-
 crease in customs receipts. It is claim
 ed that inside Knowledge of the af-
 fairs of the government prompted Sec
 retary Shaw, at the last minute, to
 throw the weight of his influence in
 favor of the tariff revision plank i'll the
 Iowa platform, for he has come to
 appreciate that reduction of the du-
 ties will increase imports and more
 revenue will be paid into the treas
 ury. On the other hand, now that Iowa has declared her sentiment in favor of revision, there is likely to be
 an effort on the part of the adminis- tration to belittle the importance of
 the Iowa declaration. Past expert
 ence has taught the treasury officials that the prospect of the tariff reduc- ton Is invariably accompanied by a reduction of imports as the importers reduce their orders to the smallest pos sible figure in order not to be caught after the change with goods on their
 hands on which they have paid the
 higher rate Of duty. Such reduction
 of imports would so far curtail the re- ceipts of the government as to seri7
 ously jeopardize existing prosperity
 and would. doubtless result in q dem ocratic landslide in 1904. The hope of the administration is to mislead the people into the belief that the re- | publicans are in earnest i'll their
 promises of tariff reform; to make the merchants and importers believe that there will be no tariT reduction, and.
 at the same time, to devise some
 means of remedying the evils of the
 present high tariff in so far as it's ten
 dency to reduce customs is concerned.
 The problem Is not an easy one, and ] its solution will require all the politl- cal and economic acumen which MT Roosevelt and his advisers can sum- mon. Tn the meantime, the democrat lie leaders are contemplating the situ- ation with certain grave satisfaction.

Createa n New voIcano.

As a sequel to the recent earth quakes in Sardinia an enormous chasm has been opened in the earth, while the surface has bulged into a hill of considerable elevation, from which stones and masses of earth are projected. There are also symp. toms that the interior of the hill is in an ebullient condition. Scientists incline to the belief that the phe- nomena observed are volcanic. An
 other consequence of the earthquake is that Lake Santo, near Modena
 which was about 500 yards long ana 100 wide, has completely disappeared

Defendant
IN TWO
ACTIONS
CRUDE Sued by Mrs. Leach for
Breach Of Promise; by Mr..
Leach for Alienation.

New York. Oct. 3o.-One hundred thou.
sand dollars is the sum asked as dam
ages by Mrs. Hattie q. Leach in a suit
for breach OF promise OF marriage
brought by her against Henry CRUDE,
who Is said 10 be one OF the largest
stockholders In the ]. NJ Horton Ice
Cream company.
From the papers on file In the city
court Il appears that Mrs. Leach. who is
. divorcee. was warm personal friend
OF Mr.. CRUDE for several years prior
to Oct. Z, 1901. On that date, she says
Mr.. CRUDE promised to marry her II she
would accept. and she answered Yea"
AT the time Mrs. Leach admits she was
suing her husband In Dakota for an abb
solute divorce and had about decided
to abandon II. But after Mr.. Grubes 8
proposal she pressed her divorce suit to
. finish, and on March 81 OF this year
she obtained decree.
She asserts he has now' refused to
marry her at all. and hence her action.
which she prosecutes through Hoffman
T. Wahle.
Mrs. Leach resides at 2s7 Park place.
Brooklyn. while CRUDE resides at 2lS
Sterling place, In the same borough. Her
divorced husband. Merritt Leach, seems
matter. for he has retained Howe 4
Hummel to bring "A suit against CRUDE
to recover 100000 for the alienation OF
the affections OF his wife.
This suit Is now pending In the su-
preme court OF this county. Mr.. CRUDE,
in his answer TO the breach of promise
suit. stiil further complexities matters by
averring through his counsel. George g.
Coffin, that he doubts the validity OF
the decree OF divorce obtained by Mrs.
Leach from her husband. He says that
neither Mrs. Leach nor her husband was
a resident OF the state I'm which II was
obtained. He asserts that Mr.. Leach
was not served personally with the sum-
mons, and did not appear In the action.
Concerning his relations with Mrs.
Leach. he says they were such as any
honorable man might have with a mar
ried woman.
Mrs. Leach claims TO have a number
of effusive letters which she says were
written to her by Mr.. CRUDE. These
letters are now locked up In the safe OF
Mrs. Leach's counsel. Charles l.. Hoff-
man. In an affidavit Mr.. Hoffman as
serts that these letters tend to prove
promises on the part OF Mr.. CRUDE to
marry Mrs. Leach after she should have
obtained her divorce.
