THE SLEEPING SICKNESS. P
Terrible DfseMs@ That ISA@~fmateE Fkes Natives An Some P@Ets Of
 SOuth AErtcH.

The British authorities in Uganda are making great efforts to discover the source of the terrible sleeping sickness which periodically decimates the natives of that territory and otheu parts of Africa, and, if possible, to, find 8 means of preventing its spread. In May last year the Royal society dispatched a com mission to Entebbe, Uganda, forthe pur-- pose of Investigating the disease. and early this year second commission was sent from England for the same purpose.
 The conclusions of the joint commits sion are now available through the pub lication of a progress report. This shows that the disease is caused by minute parasite in the blood, which could not be conveyed from man to man. Consequently suspicion fell upon the tse- lea ev snecies of which, similar to the one prevalent in Tululand, WAS found abundant in Uganda, and experiments are now in progress to settle whether the Uganda tse-tse carries in it's blood the identical parasite which is peculiar to the disease, and whether 1t can pass 1t to an animal
 One rather tentative experiment seems to show this, and 1t is expected that the truth or falsity of the theory will soon be determined.

He is in an almost crazed condition to learn the apparently giant hand who is working against him. He does not know until later that it is his own daughter, who has familiar ized herself with Board of Trade methods and is frightening him to save him from being success ful in accomplishing his dishonest designs.
 This is said to be one of the most wildly exciting and intense ly dramatic scenes the stage has known in many years. It fairly lifts the audience off its feet. At Newport opera house Tuesday evening, December 29.

At first the snake was in enned to disregard the distressed birds as they fought to drive 1t away, but the blows of their wings and bills became so annoying that the thief had to seek refuge in flight.

SWore Off for a Year.

George Andreas, the noted Chestnut
street wife beater, was committed to
the lookup Saturday night by Justice
Buckley, on charge preferred by his
wife, whose life has become almost un-
bearable because OF Georges violent
temper when he is drunk. AS this hap
pens as regularly as payday, Mrs An
dreas decided to rid herself and the
community Of her spouse, by having him
sent to prison, and he was accordingly
placed in the tolls.
This morning, however, the woman
appeared and withdrew the charge.
Her action was based on promises Of
reform on the part of her erring hus-
band, and the latter was released.
Before leaving the lookup George
made solemn vow to abstain from in
toxicants for one year from date, after
which he went forth to begin a model
life, imbued with all the fervor that
characterizes new recruit in the tenn
perance cause.
The police are hoping that Andreas
will prove himself as good as his word,
as in the past be has given the peace
officials more trouble than any other
dozen men in town. The borough
treasury will be the only sufferer by his
new mode of living, as his fines amount
ed to no small item each year.
