loathsome disease and have been used
for an example, or in other words, re-
versible tool in many instances. Many
statements have been made, which now
stand in print in error. | accordingly
feel it my duty, and il is my desire TO
make in your columns correct state
ment, and give an unbiased description
of this dreaded disease.
ON or about the 2Sth day of March,
1900 I was living with my family in the
town of Selma, N. G. Prior to this time
there had been a case of this disease near
our town. Doctors called to see the pa
tient, and the diagnosis being smallpox.
But later on County Health Officer came
and diagnosed the disease as chicken poX,
and, according to the best calculation we
can get, this disease entered our home.
First two of our children were taken
With q slight fever, and later showed
signs of eruption, but to a very slight
degree, not losing meal and not being
really i'll at all.
On the 18th day of April, 1900 | was
taken in like manner, but, after the de-
velopment of the disease was brought
almost TO deaths door, with my eyes
and throat closed up my nails loosened
and being entirely unconscious for about
eight or ten days. / was also badly dis
figured The stage of eruption lasted
about eighteen or twenty days, before
the scahs formed. The disease disabled
me from my daily occupation from the
111th of April, 1900, to the End of August,
that being my first days work.
Now, the question is, was this small
pox, chicllen-pox, or Cuban itch?.
Two of my children had the disease in
very mild form, while two others had
it more violently. None were success

en- days before the eruption appeared.
NV wife did not have the disease. She
was vaccinated about five days before /
broke out. My eldest boy, having been
successfully vaccinated nearly two
months before this time, stayed with
me and nursed me, but did not take it..
I did not say / contracted this disease
from chicken-poX, only as the doctors
so-cafled it. Nor did / say the boy that
was successfully vaccinated had this di-
sease. for he did not. Nor have l ever
tried to make it appear that / caught this
disease from the chieken-pox. 1t is true
that at one time | thought it to be a
small matter, as the masses do today;
but now I believe it to be smallpox. To
say you had rather ahve it than to be
vaccinated is all stuff, as you can't say
in what form it may tackle you. /

ball Friends, this is a large risk.
Very truly.

to his fathers home in the country, and
he never came back. He sent 80 or 10
cents every Saturday. but never anything
more.

live in the country, and that she left him
because he did not want to live in Raj

one child three months old Two other
children are dead. 1t is claimed that
House gave no assistance when one of
these children died.

ENGLISH PRAISE soUsA

Nothing elected more surprise and en-
thusiastic praise in the playing of SOusa 5
Band in England than the marvellously
delicate accompaniment that this ia
nous organization gave to the vocal and
violin solos that diversified Mr.. Sousa's
concert programs Nothing of the kind
had ever been heard in England before
and the English critics were astonished
at the remarkable similation of string
effects, particularly from the enormous
brass basses played by the American
musicians All the English bands use
string BASES for concert work, owing, il
is said, to the fact that their instrument
talists do not possess the necessary
skill to obtain artistic results from
brass. Sousas Accomplishments were
equally praised on the continent, and
here at home; they are we'll known and
admired An opportunity will be offered
to judge of this praise of the Sousa
Bands work when the March King
brings his famous organization here for
a single popular concert at the Academy

this year are Maud Reese Davies, So

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Tells of His Meeting With Patrick After Rics'
Death.
CBv the Associated Press. }

New York, Jan. pa large part of
today's session in the trial of Lawyer
Albert Il. Patrick for the murder of Mil
lionaire William Marsh Rice, was taken
up in the examination of Captain James
A Baker, of Houston, Texas.
DIR. Hamilton, whose cross-eXamina-
tion continued from yesterday, reiterated
his opinion that the condition of Mr..
Rice's lungs was due 10 the inhalation
of gaseous irritant.
According to Captain Baker, Patrick
said he intended to entrust Rice's Texas
affairs to Captain Bakers firm. Patrick
gave him the 1896 will and copies of the
1900 will and of the assignment of Rice's
, property Patrick said he had taken a
number Of papers from Rice's rooms and
, that he would show them to Baker.
The witness told of opening Rice's box
in the vault of the production by Patrick
of what he claimed was list of the Sc
curities there.
This list was wrong, said the wit
ness, "in every item but one. He de-
clined to give us a copy of his list. |
said to Patrick: In view of your hostile
relations to Mr.. Rice, if you expected
this will and assignment to hold in any
court in Chrstendom, why did You not
have some friend of Mr.. Rice go with
you to Mr.. Rice's apartments and read
over in their presence the will and as
sgnments? Patrick replied: Mr.. Rice
was peculiar and he insisted that our re-
lations should be secret.
II told Patrick" the witness continued,
that / would never consent to the pro-
bate Of the will of 1900, and that / belieV-
ed the will of 1896 was the last genuine
will of Mr. Rice Patrick replied that
he would just as soon see one will proved
as the other. Patrick said he was the
greatest sufferer by Mr.. Rice's death,
because Mr.. Rice had arranged 10 go
down town on Monday and make a ply
steal deliveries of all his securities"
How did he say he obtained those
checks?" asked Mr. Osborne.
He said that Jones had brought them
to him in conformity with an agreement
Mr. Rice had made with him, Patrick
The S250,0OO he said, was to settle the
Texas litigation
The prosecution failed to secure the
admission of any testimony as TO the
check for $65, 900 purportins to have been
given by Rice to Patrick or as to the viii
of 1896.
Baker testified that to the best of his
belief the will of 1900. the two checks
for $25, 900 each, and the cremation letter
were forgeries.

thirty guests of the Lindell Hotel were

through suffocating smoke.
Men dragged their trunks after them
down the stairways of the hotel, and the

concern was the !. Bauman Jewelry
Company. The losses suffered by these
concerns will approximate 100000 The
