Then the Soul looked up into the

NO BUSINESS TO Be ALIVE.
One Case In Which Virchow's Diagnosis
Was Erroneous.


Was Erroneous.
There Is no name more hOnored
among psychologists than that Of Vir-
chow, the great German scientist, nor
IL there any man who has done more
than he to prolong human life and al
leviate human suffering. Nevertheless.
he Is not infallible. and the London
Standard tells an amusing story Of at
least one mistaken diagnosis which he
made.
AS private practice interfered with
his scientific studies, Virchow practised
medicine only a very short time. But
one day in later life, while his students
were waiting for their lecture at the
hospital, gentleman knocked at the
door of the professors private room
and stated that he was not feeling
well and wished to consult the savant.
Professor Virschow examined the man
carefully. and then said:
"Why, my good friend, you have no
business to be alive at all! You are
suffering from three complaints, each
one Of which has long since arrived at
stage which ought to have caused
your death. This is a most interesting
case; 1t shows that one must not al
ways believe In theory"
The patient began to feel uncomfort-
able, but Professor VirchOw, in his
professional enthusiasm, did not notice
either the effect Of his words or the
cOmical side of the situation. He add
ed: would you mind stepping into
the next room? / should like to show
you to some gentlemen who are there"
With ill-concealed nervousness the
patient followed the professor into the
lecture-room, where he was introduced
as an interesting case, and was obliged
to remain while the professor described
the nature Of the three diseases and
the progress they had made. On hear
Ing again that he was practically a
dead man the patient felt a strong de-
sire to get home, and left at once.
Just what part In his recovery was
played by increased care and home
remedies Is not known, but the man
Is still alive. When Professor vir-
chew celebrated his S0th birthday, the
man who ought to have been dead
years ago was among those who sent
their congratulations. reN

Portions of Missouri, Causing
Great Damage---Trains Collide
at Rochester, NY.

Baltimore, July PA fierce lorna
do, characterized by windstorm of ex-
traordinary velocity, thunder, vivid
lightning and a heavy rain burst upon
Baltimore at 80 p. M, with the net
result that ii persons lost their lives.
hundreds of houses were unroofed, trees
IN the public parks and streets were
torn up by the roots, many buildings
damaged and several persons injured.
The storm exhausted its fury in less
than Is minutes. The damage done in
the business part of the city was COM
paratively slight, being confined to the
blowing down of the signs and injuries
to roofs. 1t was ia the residence, por-
tions, along the river front, and in the
harbor, where the wind spent its vio-
lence.
OF those who persisted nine were
drowned in the harbor, one was killed
by falling tree and one by live wire.
Rochester, N. Y, July 21.-Two Le-
high valley trains, running at high
rate of speed, collided head on in the
outskirts of this city during the even
ing. An engine and one passenger
coach in one of the trains were thrown
from the track, down an embankment
and into the Erie canal feeder, and
were completely wrecked. The other
engine was demolished, but remained
on the. track. One person, a fireman,
was killed and 20 others were more or
less seriously hurt, two perhaps fatally.
Keokuk, Ia, July 21.-Exploration
of the flooded district of the Mississippi
pi river from Keokuk south shows con-
ditions beyond the appreciation or real
ization of any but people of long exper-
fence with the father of waters in its
most destructive mood.
The situation is growing worse hourly
There is absolutely not the slightest
chance of stopping the flood, which is a
dozen times the most costly of any in
the history of the great river, above st.
Louis. The correspondent Of the AS
ISOLATED Press went all over the worst
damaged area today in the steamer Sill
yer Crescent and found everywhere the
greatest crops ever known under water
deep enough to float steamboat. Peo-
pie at the river cities give an immense
mass of details, all to be generalized in
losses aggregating many millions of
dollars. Hundreds of farmers, rich ten
days ago, are penniless and homeless,
and hundreds are watching and praying
that the great levees, which are the
only bulwark against millions of losses
and many cases of perjury, will hold.
Careful estimates will indicate the
loss at about $4,000, 900 with every
prospect that it will be increased by
two or three millions by the rise above
which has not yet reached the lower
stretches of the river. Most of this loss
is on the Missouri side of the river, be-
tween Keokuk and Hannibal.

MERGER MATTER.
Agreement for Trial Between At
tOrneys in the Case.

st. Paul, July 18.-Both litigants in
the case of the state of Minnesota
against the Northern Securities Com
pany ct al, being the so-called anti
merger suit, have agreed to submit to
the jurisdiction of the United States
circuit court.
The state waived and abandoned its
motion to have the case removed to the
Ramsey county district court defendants
abandoned their motion to set aside the
service of the summons. The defend
ants also agreed to enter an appearance
ON rule day, the first Monday in August.
They will then have 30 days within
which to file their answer.
This means that the case will go be-
fore the United States circuit court on
its merits. The attorneys for the state
entered into stipulation to this effect
with the attorneys of the Northern
Securities Company, the Great North
ern and the Northen Pacific. The Great
Northern and Northern Pacific roads were
not parties to the controversy over jur-
isdiction, but were defendants in the
main action brought by the state to
dissolve the merger. The defendants
all agree to make general appearance
on Monday, August 4. Then they will
have 80 days to file their answer.
After that the state will have the same
length of time to reply.
These proceedings originated in an in
junction brought by the state to restrain
the Northern Securities Company and
J. j. Hill as president thereof, from
taking possession of and consolidating
the stock of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern railroad companies
from allowing the Northern Securities
Company to hold their stock or partici-
pate in the management of the prop
erty.

STRIKE TERMINATES.
Bitter Struggle In Chicago Ends
With Freight Men Losers.

Chicago, July 1S.-Renewed activity
on the part of the Chicago business
men followed the settlement of the
freight handlers and teamsters' strike,
and at the close of business hours at
night thousands of tons of freight had
been sent to and from the various
freight depots. Every one of the "a,
600 strikers who could obtain employ
ment had returned to work by 2
o'clock in the afternoon.
The strike, it is estimated, cost the
business men of Chicago $40. 900, 900,
and in order to guard against such a
contingency in the future they are pre-
pared to begin an educational campaign
IN opposition to the sympathetic strike.
The labor unions will be asked to fore
go the use of this potent weapon.
The business interests which suffered
through the strike will join in pledging
themselves, it is said. not to sign union
agreements which do not guarantee
them against these strikes.
"n the other hand, the labor unions
are lighting to secure the right to abro-
gate agreements for the purpose OF
ordering sympathetic strikes.
The freight handlers blame the
national officers of the teamsters for
The loss of the strike. They declare
mat the strike shows the necessity for
Incorporation in all agreements re-
seryation which will permit strikes.
credit for the settlement rests with
the state board of arbitration. 1t was
.he adoption of the suggestion of that
board which led to the action of the
freight handlers union in declaring the
struggle with the railroads at an end.
Al the same time it is probable that
even had the state board not made its
suggestions the fight would have been
practically over now, as the majority OF
lhe freight handlers had returned to
tneir work before the mass meeting at
winch the strike was called off officially
i'ad been convened. 1t wasa knowledge
vi TINS fact that had much to do with
'Ae action taken by the union. How
ever the proposition made by the state
poara OF arbitration enabled the freight
l."haiers to retire gracefully from the
aeid; though they lost what they had
fought for.
