WAS THIS DOCTOR A ouAcka
Cured a Patient of Haiiueination by
Clever Trick.

Cured a Patient of a Haiiueination by
Clever Trick.
We recall the case of an unhappy
years ago imploring the doctors to re.
lieve him of a snake which he said
he had swallowed while drinking at
spring and which, as he violently de-
clared, was devouring the coat Of his
stomach. One by one the learned gen.
tlemen examined him. satisfied them
selves that there was no snake-as,
indeed, there was not-and sent him
away with the solemn assurance that
he need not worry about 1t any more.
He continued to worry. however,
and when at last he found a physician
who cared more about results than
etiquette he was on the verge of
actual insanity. This great physician
soon perceived that he had to deal
with a hallucination, not a snake. and
proceeded accordingly. He employed
colored citizen and tin bucket.
Two hours in Rock Creek park brought
forth a garter snake of small size but
great activity, and an earnest and in
Gustrious emetic did the rest. The
victim saw the snake wriggling In
the bucket and went home happy. 1t
is part of the history Of that period,
however. that the physician who
achieved the cure was loudly de
nounced as an outlaw. and consigned
to everlasting odium for unprofes.
sional conduct.
We never heard that he lost the
confidence Of the public on that &C
count, however. and as the fame and
the fortunes of medical men are made
by their practical achievements and
not by the approval of their fellow
doctors we rather think he profited In
the end.-Washington Post.

FIERCE BATTLE ..-
WITH STRIKERS

Wheeling, w. Va, Aug. 16.-A clash
occurred early to-day between the
striking machinists and about twenty
five non-union men who took their
places in the Riverside plant of the
United States Steel Corporation. The
battle was started Saturday night. De-
spite the fact that more than 1000
shots were fired there were no fatali-
ties and only few persons were
wounded.
The machinists have been on a
strike for several weeks and the sittr-
alton was becoming critical for the cor
poration until they imported about
about twenty men. The strikers last
night attacked the boarding houses OF
the n-unionists The houses were
heavily barricaded and many volleys
were fired into the structures. Finally
a well-directed shot fom within the
house wounded one of the strikers, and
he was carried away. Clay Hoover, a
spectator. was also shot in the knee.
number of other persons who were in
the building with the non-unionists re-
ceived wounds.
Tonight the strikers. who are lying
in the hills. fired on Peter Silatek. who
was passing that point. the strikers
mistaking him for a spy. The man
was seriously wounded.

Ottoman soldiers and officials.
The memorandum begins by stating
that during the past three months the
Ottoman government has taken Sc
ries of measures with the alleged inten-
tion of inaugurating the era of prom
ised reform and Of assuring peace and
tranquility to the Bulgarian popula-
ton of European Turkey. but which
have had the contrary effect of further
sxasperating this population and reviv-
ing the revolutionary movement. In
stead of proceeding solely against per-
sons guilty of breaches of the public
order, the military and civil authorities
have sought every possible pretext to

TO GREAT EUROPEAN POWERS

schools, the running of merchants. the
collection OF taxes for many years in
advance-such, proceeds the memoran-
dunn, are the facts OF the Ottoman ad-
ministration of Monastir, Uskub and
Adrianople.
The memorandum next relates In de-
tail a number of such cases in each
vilayet. Beginning with the vilayet OF
Salonica, 1t states that in the town or
Salonica itself the Bulgarian professors
of the university, the students and
shopkeepers. in fact, all the intelligent
Bulgarians in the city. have been cast
into prison. One hundred and twenty
soldiers entered the village OF Gorna-
Ribnitea May 18th and tortured to
death five men and two women.
During the first three weeks of July,
twenty-five villages in the district OF
Tikvesch were subjected to the depre-
dations of the Turkish soldiers and
bashi-bazouks. The villagers were beat
en- and tortured. the women violated
and the houses plundered, while the
administrative authorities took no ac-
ton.
Then follows a long list of atrocities
of the most terrible character.
The memorandum has made strong
impression in diplomatic circles. The
Austrian diplomatic agent has already
called upon the premier to express his
anxiety regarding the results that may
ensue from its publication. The French
and Italian agents also expressed un-
easiness. although they took less
gloomy view.
