Indifference and CARELESSNESS
LEAD TO PHYSICAL SHIPWRECK
AND The GRAVE.

The weak, ailing. sick, and diseased
control their physical condition. They
are free agents, and almost wholly re-
sponsible for their future. When the
brain is not affected, and the mind
can discern between right and wrong,
a duty to themselves, their friends, and
country loudly demands = marked de-
cision-prompt and determined action
when health is impaired anG life is
in danger.
1t is the part of wisdom that true
decision be made today; tomorrow may
be too late. In thousands of cases the
checking and Punishment Of disease
depends upon instant action; al hour
lost frequently means the snufing out
of some precious life.

INSTANTLY KILLED.
Unidentified White Man Run Down by
Southern Railway Train.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, September 3o.-An
unidentified white man about forty years OF
age was struck and instantly killed shortly
before noon today by northbound pas
senger train No. IA on the Southern road at
Roberts crossing, mile south of this city.
He was brought to Alexandria this after
noon and placed in an undertaker's estab-
lishment. where an inquest will probably be
held just before the accident the man was
standing on side track, and the trains
whistle blew he stepped upon the main track
and was struck by the engine. His body
was badly mangled.
The engineer, Harry Brown, saw the man
too late to prevent the accident. He had
nothing on his person to prove his Identity
On several papers in his pocket were busi-
ness addresses in Alexandria and addresses
of local clergymen.
Inquiry was made this afternoon at one
81 the localities mentioned on the papers,
but nothing could be learned about him.
One man viewed the remains and said he
thought his name was Hayes and that he
had lived in Richmond, Va, but Of this he
was not positive.
The dead man had been seen for several
days by the police in and about the city.
He was heavily built and wore blue suit
of clothes.

A Cure for Rheumatism.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe
American men Of science have returned to
an old cure for rheumatism. in the shape
of bee stings. The scientific explanation is
that bee when singing injects formic
acid. which is cure for rheumatism. What
probably happens is that the patient, after
having sat for some time the beehive
forgets all about the rheumatism.
1t Is probably the long continuance Of
damp weather which has inspired so many
newspaper correspondents to give the world
just now their notions cures for rheu-
matism. We referred briefly the other day
to the American revival Of cure by bee
stngs+a measure heroic enough to please
every Simon Stylites in the world; and now
we are told in the press of cure by means
Of a mole's foot worn next to the skin, sus-
pended from the neck by a silken cord so
that 1t hangs a little below the chest In
many jewelers. shops one may see rings
for rheumatism" 1t being a common faith
among even educated people that a metal
ring worn on the little finger Of the left
hand is cure infallible. But Of all these
notions the most interesting and probably
the most popular in England is that known
by the name of the potato cure 1t Is said
that If a person suffering from rheumatism
will carry a potato about with him he will
find himself free from pain and distress. It
is asserted that a potato carried in the
pocket Of a rheumatic person will speedily
become as hard a rock, while in the
Keeping of person free from the complaint
1t remains in it's ordinary condition. There
fore it would appear as If the explanation
OF faith in this case does not apply-as
1t would perhaps in the matter of charms
So far as we know, science has not pro-
nounced judgment the potato cure but
1t would certainly be interesting to obtain a
scientific explanation of the hardening Of
the potato.

An American Lourdes.
From Harper's Weekly.


The relic Of st. Anne, at the Church of
st. Jean Baptiste in East 10th street New
York, has been working cures again. and
the papers have printed many reports of
them. Among these cures occur a good
many cases Of crippled children. whose rel
atives take away the mechanical supports
which have supplemented their defective
strength. after the children have kissed the
relic and been proclaimed well. Protest Is
made from time to time against the suffer
Ing and harm that in very many cases this
procedure involves. For, Of course a good
many OF these cures-to put it very mod
erately-don't last: the little victims come
quickly to need the supports they have put
aside, and what the final result is-whether
increased intirmity or renewal of surgical
help-the city's doctors know, and OCCASION
ally they tell. Niracle-working and exam
nations by medical men go rather i'll to-
gether, but a reasonable regard for the pro-
lection of childhood would surely warrant
some skilled oversight of these cases of
crippled children, and some restraint of the
impulse of too hopeful parents to see per-
manent relief in what turns out too often
to be a mere PASSING effect of temporary
excitement

First Trust on Record.
From Stray Stories.

FROM STORIES
The earliest form Of trust that ever exist
ed was undoubtedly the cornering of food
stuffs by monarchs and their agents Ac-
counts of such transactions are to be found
In Assyrian records dating back 1000 or
5000 years; and the Bible describes a very
large operation Of this kind carried out by
Joseph when. out Of the wealth of the seven
fat years, he provided for the poverty Of the
seven lean ones
The Romans did the same thing through
their tax farmers. who laid embargoes on
the food supplies OF the provinces against
arrears Of taxes, and the probability is that
similar operations were also conducted with
regard to manufacturers.
Another form OF monopolieS, known as
trade guilds, has existed from the very
early times, and these. in the middle ages,
amounted practically to the cornering of
certain arts and industries, as we'll as
means OF distribution. The greatest of
them was the famous league Of the Hanse
towns.
So close a combine was this that 1t
possessed Its own fleets Of armed merchant
men and even armies of mercenaries in or
der to guard Its monopoly-a length to
which not even American capitalists have
yet ventured to proceed.
