the territory had no right to grant such

Strange Diseases.

Lombardy is the one place where
pellagra is always prevalent, that
mysterious modern ailment due to
eating damaged maize, which since
1888, when it was first noticed, is
computed to have been responsible
for the death of more than $780,
600 peasants. Mandalay ringworm,
again, is known and dreaded
throughout Burma, but even the
most ignorant Burmese is aware
thatit cannot be contracted ouAside
the ancient capital. Similarly
"rock fever is confined to Gibral-
tar, although it is probable that the
ailment known as Maltese fever,
which can be contracted only in
Malta and there only in the spring
and autumn, is closely allied to it.
Aleppo evil, too, is unknown in any
of the other cities of Asia Minor,

Killed by Imagination.

There have been several well au-
thenticated cases where death has
been caused by sheer fright. An
English military surgeon named
Francis told of one case, that of a
drummer in India, across whose
legs harmless lizard crawled while
he was half asleep. He was sure
that cobra had bitten him, and it
was too much for his nerves, and he
died.

Charleston. w. Va, Sept Q. Troops
are gradually being withdrawn from
the New River field and the general
impression IL that the strike is OH its

Governor White issued orders for the
withdrawal of signal corps, Charleston,
Company p, Of Ronceverte, and three
Huntington companies, which have
been doing duty at the mines under
instructions Of Sheriff Daniels One
battalion under command of Major
Verlander remains at Thurmond. The
Charleston contingent of the guard ar
rived here, and report all quiet in the
strike section.
Adiutant General Baker left here
for Thurmond. He will investigate
conditions and report to Governor
White. If his report is favorable. the
Il mainder Of the troops will probably
be speedily withdrawn.
Reports from New River stated that
between 300 and 400 old employees had
gore to work, the larger proportion
being at Red Ash, Rush Run,
Harvey, Prudence, Brooklyn and Re
Star. while other operations report ac-
cessions of smaller,numbers.
1t was reported that the miners were
holding a secret meeting in the noun
tians near Thurmond for the purpose
of securing the official declaration that
the strike is off.
Coalburg, a small operati on, work
ing under a receiver, is said to have
signed the scale and acceded to the de-
mands of the miners, including recog-
nit1on of the union twice-a- month pay
day and nine-hour work day. This is

agitators 10 hold the men in line They
assert that the other operators will
agree on the scale basis. The opera
tors on the other hand, attach small

In the Kanawha field more men are
working than last week. The situa-
ton seems hopeful for an early resump-
ton at all the mines
