COUNTERFEITER WHO ES-

He Is Taken in Texas, Where

GEORGE ". HAZEN has received

- Of the southern district of the ap-
prehension of a fugitive counter
fciter named David Ellsworth at EI Paso.
Tex. on the Sd inst. He is held for the
arrival Of the United States Marshal from
Los Angeles.
Ellsworth was arrested on December 6.
1902, in company with Fred Millette. at
Santa Barbara by Chief of Police Ross
and Secret Service Agent Cronin. While
en- route TO Los Angeles he took French
leave Of Deputy United States Marshal
Mccullough and left no trace.
1t was ascertained that Ellsworth, under
the name of David z Latin, was re
ceived at Waua Walla, Wash prison in
1859 on a twenty-year sentence for muir
der from Pierce County, Wash. and was
released August 13, 1902, after serving If
teen years
Ellsworth has a mania for escaping.
While at Walla Walla prison he made six
attempts TO get away. After his escape
from Deputy Mccullough Ellsworth
worked his way TO Mexico and was I'm
ally located at Ciudad Juarez, Mexico
under the alias of Harry Miller. He was
over the border TO Ell Paso, Tex, he was
taken in charge. After a vain attempt
to deny his identity his photo and descTp-
ton received from Walla Walla, Wash,
were shown 10 him and he admitted he
was Dave Ellsworth.
The trial of Ellsworth and Mllette will
take place at Los Angeles. Both. know
ing the evidence in the Government s
hands, desire to plead guilty. A large
number Of unfinished SO coins were taken
with their outfit. Ellsworth expected TO
make up a lot and take them TO the
Philippines. After serving fifteen years
in the penitentiary Ellsworth was in four
months once more in custody. His escape
gave him one month more of freedom.

Turk Versus Christian.
a Religious War Raging Ia Eu-
Ropean Turkey Fierce Bat
tie In The Neighborhood
of Monastir.

Sofia, Bulgaria, August Is. "A
iierse battle is reported to have
occurred in the neighborhood of
Monastir. Three Turkish battalions
attacked a thousand insurgents,
and, after the fight had ragged for
six hours, the Turks were repuls-
ed with the loss of 21O men killed
or wounded. The insurgents loss
is not given.
Reports received here from
Constantlnople and believed to be
authentic confirm the previous
statements to the effect that when
the Turks recaptured Krushevo
they slaughtered the entire Chris
tian populated without exception,
and it is pointed out that anon o
those killed were the employees of
the Government tobacco establish
ments, which we're under Euro>
pean control, as the proceeds from
these establishments were assigned
to the service of the Turkish debt.
A reign of terror is reported to
prevail at Uskub, where the Chris
tam inhabitants are afraid to leave
their houses. The vail has issued
tho strictcst orders to the Mussnl-
man population to remain quiet
and not modest their Christian
neighbors, but the Mussulmans,
meeting in the mosque, have re-
solved at given signal to mas
sacre the whole Christian populu
ton Immediately the first lnsur-
gent band appears near Uskub or
on any pretext. The Christians are
terrorized. The Turkish troops, who
are their only protection, do not
show the slightest disposition to
aid them. The attitude of the
Turkish troops recently was plain
ly manifested when a tranload of
soldiers, shortly after leaving
Uskub, fired on the Bulgarian
workmen who were killed and
their bodies were left lying on the
line.

Healing By Machinery
Automatic Devices which Take the
Place of Expert Surgeons.
From the New York Press.

|
Hospital patients can now be
nursed by machinery. An inven
tor has recently patented an in,
genlons little machine, consistinp
OF a small box, in which is self
registering thermometer, cannect-
ed electrically with tiny bell.
This register is put under the
armpit of n person suffering from
fever and when his temperature
rises the bell rings and the doctor
or nurse is summoned.
A wound stitching machine is
the invention of another doctor
named Michel. 1t works very
much more rapidly than the old
method of stitching by hand, IS
painless and effective. 1t con-
slsts of Il case or sheath, holding
number of nickel hooks or
bands, like those used for the cor
ners of cardboard boxes. They
are pun in position with pair of
forceps and can he adjusted at the
rate of twenty-five a minute. Their
rounded points do not penetrate
the lower layer of the skin, but
only the lpidermis, and therefore,
the pain caused by them Is very
slight. They have the additional
advantage of being very easily
disinfectcd.
A most curious invention is that
of DR.. Coallley tor stimulating
weak heart. 1t consists of a hol
low needle some eight inches long,
made of an alloy of gold, and
driven by little electric motor.
1t is SO shaped that it can he used
to actually pierce the heart and
inject into 1t a solution of salt and
warm water. which will stimulate
the organ and SO prolong and save
life. Somewhate similar is the de-
vice of DR.. Cordier, which is for
the cure of neuralgia and similar
pains. 1t is a sort of gigantic hy.
podcrmic syringe by the aid of
which not medicine, but air can
be injected beneath the skin of the
sufferer. A sort of bubble of air
is formed under the skin and this,
being kneaded along the painful
parts, gives instantaneous relief
to severe cases of sciatica lumbago
and other neural gic atllictions.
For the cure of consumption
machine has been devised which
can also be operated from the
lamp socket of an ordinary cleo
trio light. 1t consists of trans
former and what is called an Aud
rlols tube. This converts the
oxy-hydrogen of the air into
ozone is the active agent in sea
air and one of the most effectual
killers of the consumption micro
be. Most elaborate machines, of
which the controlling power is
electricity, have been devised for
curing headaches and other tenn
porary ailments and::for the pur.
pose of message. One is q sort of
metal helmet, through which al
ternating currents of electricity
are passed. Another commune
Gates very rapid vibrations to the
head. Three is third, not elec.
trlcal, but purely mechanical,
which is used for massaging the
liver, and so curing the miserable
pain induced by indigestion.
Insomnia is now treated by a
simple machine which passes an
electric current through the body
of the patient. This current is
interrupted 200 times second
10y the device and it is to this in
corruption that it owes its efficacy.
A person kept under its influence
for sufficient length of time not
only goes to sleep, but IS hypno-
