Arizona Air.

Just now, while n good deal is being
said I'm the newspapers about the social
ed "open air treatment for consump-
tives. 1t will be interesting 10 relate the
actual experience OF one suffering from
lung trouble who has been fully restored
TO health. The person referred to was
a good many years ago assistant rector
of an Epiccopal church in Baltimore, and
his clerical duties involved an early COM
munion service q o'clock a. m), which
he usually performed before breakfast
ing. His lung trouble developed while
he was theological student. and the
discharge OF his daily clerical duties at
so early an hour, without taking any
stimulating food, increased his weakness
Finally he was attacked with severe hem
orrhages OF the lungs while at the altar
and was hurried TO his home, where for
some time he remained a close invalid.
The best medical advice he could get ap-
parently was TO go to Florida (the grave
yard for consumptives. as a writer once
remarked), and the preacher soon re-
moved TO Tallahassee as rector OF a
church there. II did not take him long TO
discover that the "open-air" treatment I'm
Florida was not the treatment for him;
the hemorrhages returned and he grew
emaciated
His next move was 10 Sante Fe, n. NJ,
where he took charge of a church. The

Washington. March 1O-Lieutenant
minister 10 Mexico. has recently been
detached from that embassy and assigned
to the cavalry stationed at Fort Nyer.
Concerning this change there is a story
not old in the military records.
During the Christmas holidays young
Clayton and some Of his American COM
panions became engaged I'm an argument
concerning American policies I'm the
Orient and the Antilles. There were pres
ent several Mexican officers and the ar
gument became quite heated. The scene
was n hotel lobby, where all had gathered
TO attend some social function
The Mexicans said some things which
the Americans, particularly Lieutenant
Clayton, resented. Finally the lie was
passed and the entire company became
involved I'm blows
That night a Mexican officer formally
waited on Lieut.. Clayton, and i'm behalf Of
one OF the beligerents challenged him To
duel. Clayton explained that he could
not fight, his commission in the United
States army forbidding I'm the strongest
way any such performance.
The Mexican three times renewed his
challenge, and then Clayton was expelled
from all the clubs i'm the City Of Mexico.
At the same time a prominent official
intimated TO the minister that his sons
position In society at the Mexican capital
had been compromised and that the wise
course for him was to withdraw. IL was
pointed out that the customs of the city
might differ from those of the United
States, but that nevertheless II would be
very painful for Lieutenant Clayton 10

man, Jackson, saw of Hoey alive was
when the train was entering the Haver-

Then Hoey said he was going to try
10 make Cornwall ahead OF n certain pass
enger train.
The train seemed 10 increase in speed
and went past stations and through the
tunnel at high rate OF speed Jackson
noticed that Hoey did not slacken speed
in running down the Haverstraw grade
but he thought the engine driver was
trying TO make Cornwall in fast time.
No whistles were sounded at any of the
crossings or whistle posts. Hoey was i'm
Yariably particular about signals, but the
fireman, although he noted the omission,
did not regard IL OF enough consequence
to investigate. The train dashed on
through Cornwall with no slackening OF
speed.
When the train reached there and did
not stop, the fireman became alarmed.
He and the head brakeman, George Cor
man. went forward TO investigate. They
found the engine driver lying on the
floor of the cab dead. Jackson shut off
steam, reversed the lever and applied the
air brakes, and the train finally came 10
a stop two miles north OF Cornwall. at
Plum Point. on the West Shore road, with
boiler nearly empty and in danger OF ex-
ploding.
Investigation revealed that Hoey's skull
had been fractured and his neck broken.
There was hot journal box on the tank
OF the engine soon after the train left

OF Haverstraw Hoey leaned out OF his
cab window TO look at the hot journal and
was struck on the head by signal pole
or other obstruction and knocked back
into the cab.
Hoey lived in Middletown, where he

practices greater than the majority OF

There are large number who make
