VEGETARIAN WERE SCARCE.
Restaurant Fails to Pay and II Sold
Out at Auction.

New Orleans Picayune.
Economic, palatable; eating for strength;
invigorating, humane"
That sounds all right on paper; II would
seem to be a pretty good motto for man
to follow, but the proprietor of the Vege-
tartan Restaurant, st. Charles street, who
followed II and lived by it, failed. His
furniture and restaurant fixtures were sold
at auction TO satisfy the agent for the
building. Mr.. +. A. Andrieu.
This clearance sale attracted a good deal
of attention. Some who stopped to gaze
and wonder had eaten vegetables there;
most of the curious, however, simply Won
dered why it was that a vegetarian restau-
rant would not go in New Orleans.
They have succeeded in other cities. Why
should they not succeed in warm climate

is not good for the stomach?

TUXEDO TEACHERS CASE.
Patrons of the school Said to Object
TO Miss Augusta Mason.

1t is stated that some of the patrons of
the Tuxedo school are preparing petition
TO present TO the School Board, asking that
the principal. Miss Augusta l.. Mason, be
removed. 1t is understood that the OBJ
jections TO Miss Mason date back TO the
trouble in the school last spring. out of
which grew a trial in the Criminal Court,
in which the principal was the defendant.
She was charged with whipping boy too
severely. but after hearing the evidence
Judge Afford acquitted her. 1t is charged
that Miss Mason is unnecessarily cruel TO
the children. and the specific charge is made
that John Raleigh. pupil In the school,
recently went to his home on Garfield ave
nue. with the marks Of the teachers fingers
on his throat
Superintendent Kendall said last night
that he had had no official information
regarding a movement against Miss Mason
but had heard that petition was being
circulated. There IS one thing / can say,
the Superintendent remarked, land that is
that we have "a very good school at Tuxedo,
and the work of the teachers there Is highly
satisfactory"

VIII Written on Door.
Boston Globe.


There is fortunately no provision in the
law as to the exact nature of the 'parch-
ment" ION which a will should be written
1t has frequently happened that property
worth large sums of money has been dis
tribute1 in accordance with the wish of
the fofmer owner as a result of directions
left I'M the most accidental manner.
Wills that have proven valid have been
found carved on the trunks of trees,
scratched upon stones, written on the soles
of shots.
One ST the most remarkable of these freak
wills Aras that scrawled on the door of a
miners shanty in British Columbia, which.
with the signature. comprised only fourteen
words:
Tim Merrick, who wiIled his estate In
this highly original manner, was a miner
living near the town of Golden. Since
his coming to the district in 1863, he had
workey steadily, and, it was supposed with
great success.
One day, in 1866, he was found by one of
the mDunted police lying dead in his little
cabin. The place was searched for papers,
but ndne of any special value were found.
MerIack's will was discovered, however,
written with chalk Oh the inside Of the door
of the cottage. 1t read, 1.-THE state may
have All they find. I've got no heirs"
The authorities made a hasty investiga-
ton o. the premises. but without discover
ing anything, and the search, far they
were concerned, was abandoned.

CANCER CAUSATION.
Some Theories Are Foolish and None
is to BE Depended On.

Youths ;Companion.
During the last few years medical re-
search nas had great success and made
vast stTides in certain directions, chief
among which is that of the discovery of
certain diseases. When this cause has been
proved Beyond reasonable doubt, change
In treatinent has resulted, with the conse-
quence hhat some fearful and fatal dis
orders are beginning to lose their terrors.
In other cases definite certainty has not yet
been reached but some useful working
hypothesis has, and here again the result
has been often a most beneficial revolu-
ton in ithe matter of treatment. But in
the cas4 of cancer-this most dread OF all
foes of sthe human race-we are still toss
ing wildly on the sea of improved theory,
and at :he same time cancer is believed TO
be largely on the increase
Some of the theories which have been adj
vanced are simply silly-such as the belief
that cancer can be produced by eating to-
matoes or watercress. Sugar, salt and
many o:her harmless or necessary or bene-
hcfal articles OF diet have sustained attacks
in this connection. There other theories
eXtant, Ssome of them, perhaps, regarded
as theoties simply of more value than the
tomato one, but against them all must be
written mot proved.
1t is now widely claimed by many that
the idle and luxurious are those most often
assailed by this scourge, and it is argued
therefore that too much meat, or too much
rich food OF any kind, or rich wines, COM
bined with too little exercise and thus with
a poor gdegree of elimination is the cause
! improved theories. although IL it Is really
true that the rich, luxurious, idle class is
the one in which the increase of cancer is
most marked, the fact is significant and in
| terestinss, and should be examined more
| closely.
1t might be urged. on the other hand,
| that ais sorts of open-air sports are fash

and very largely INDUCED in. If 1T could be

| golfing tand yachting and automobiling, is
i n he oil ar
or artisan who cannot command these ex-
| pensive' amusements, then the inference
against. the rich foods and wines would
grow Very strong indeed.
The smost popular theory now among
| medical investigators is that cancer Is
| caused by heterogeneous, and If that
| proves 20 be true, we may find that through
| high lining and too great consumption of
| meat a. favorable soil is prepared for the
growthi of these germs. If it ever becomes
a sure. thing that plain living and high
thinking confer immunity from cancer,
| those tyho plain lvers per force will
have r.ason to rejoice.

BUFFALO BLOCKED RIVER.
Millions of Them Lined the Banks of

Kansas City Star.

Kansas lily
Capt. William r. Duvall. once a pilot on
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, has
been visiting relatives here for some time.
For many years he lived in St. Louis. Since
his retirement from business he Is often
seen in Warrensburg and Is always notice
able for his scrupulously correct attire;
his habit of good dressing learned in the
old days when river pilots drew large sal
aries and were the handles of the country,
has never deserted him.
Captain Duvall was pilot on the larg-
est steamboat used as a government trans
port to carry Grants army to Pittsburg
Landing on the Tennessee river. before
the battle of Shiloh in 1852. He saw Grants
boat up b tine and moTn bs horse
and ride away to the battlefield, from
which he did not return until the following

a distance of 5000 miles. The discovery of
gold had been made in Montana a year
or two before, and the first boat from st.
Louis reached Benton in 1864. The trip
was a hazardous one at all times. but par
ticularly so in 1865, as the Sioux Indians
were on the warpath and 1900 miles OF the
run had TO be made through a hostile
country.
on her way up the Roanoke reached the
buffalo country about June /, and for 200
miles the buffalo were constantly in sight.
The animals were just coming up from the
South and were crossing the Missouri by
millions. In places. Captain Duvall says,
he could see a plain five or six miles square
black with them. The thought never
crossed his mind that they could be eXter-
minated in a few years. Soemtimes there
would be such a mass of the animals SWIM
ming across the river that the passage Of
the Roanoke would be blocked and she
would have to stand 10. 1t was on such
occasions that every man on the boat, a
hundred or more would shoot into the herd.
