MADE A MANIAC BY SUNBURN.
Brave Life-Saver At COney Island lis
Strapped to a Cot.
From the Baltimore Sun.

from the Baltimore sun.
New York, July 13.-Joseph Perkins,
a life-saver at Coney Island, lies strap
ped to cot in the New York Hospital,
raving with pain day and night, suf-
fering tortures from sunburn.
Physicians say that sunburn is only
mild form of skin incarceration. Per-
kins is the worst case of sunburn that
has ever come under the observation
of physicians in the hospital. AL
though he is not in immediate danger
of death, it will be a week before he
is able to leave the hospital.
Perkins was employed as life-saver
at Tilyou's beach, Coney Island, al
though he only arrived from England
six months ago. He Is an expert SWIM
mer and had saved many lives at the
summer resorts in his native country
Every day when bathers were in the
surf Perkins stro1led on the beach clad
only in the thinnest kind of a bathing
suit.
His skin is like tissue paper, and
when the recent hot spell came the sun
began to burn him, penetrating his
bathing suit. Perkins had never ex-
perienced such hot weather in England.
and as each day went by his suffering
was intensified. He went on pluckiIy,
hoping that the next day would bring
cooler weather or rain. He couldn't
sleep Friday or Saturday night, so
fierce was the pain. He could not lie
down. Yesterday he gave up COM
pletely.
1t was with the greatest difficulty
that clothes which he had not worn
for a week We're put on the man. He
cried like a child with pain. Upon the
advice of friends he started for New
York just when the shower came up
and crowds of pleasure seekers were
hurrying home. He was jostled and
bumped and nearly tainted more than
once.
On the boat his mind gave way from
the strain. the suffering and lack of
sleep. He raved like a maniac and the
captain had him dashed in a bunk un-
til the boat reached the city, when an
ambulance took him to New York Hos
pital.
I'VE are doing all we can for Per-
kins,'' one of the attending physicians
said, but he suffers frightfully. He
has lucid moments. but his suffering is
pitiful even to the doctors and nurses.
THE case of Perkins certainly ought
to be a lesson to women who lie on the
beaches to burn their skin for beauty's
sake, regardless of what they may have
to suffer for it. Instead of adding to
their beauty ii dries up the blood,
hardens the skin and brings old age
early in life.
1.-THE treatment for sunburn is sim
pie and the cure is slow. In Perkins
case we have covered him with cold
cream and swathed his body with band
ages. He is kept in a cool place and
cut of the sun"

Officers Reports.
Cincinnati, July 15.-The last annual
meeting of the Freedman's Aid and
Southern Educational Society of the
Methodist Church that will be held be-
fore the coming general conference at
Los Angeles EeXt May, closed session
OF three dave here tonight. The re-
ports of the secretaries were an.
nounced es the most gratifying for
many years. They show that, although
more than 100000 in cash has been d.
rectly appropriated for the schools In
advance of the appropriations of the
previous quadrennium, the debt has
showed during this quadrennium a con-
slant decrease. The reports also show
that mo-e tFan $4,000 has been rut
into rev buildings, equipments and re-
Pairs in the schools controlled By the
society.
Besides confirming the incumbent
president and teachers in the forty
three schools of the society in the

CANALS CHANCES BETTER,
Belief That They Have Improved in
the Last Few Days.

Washington, July 15.-Dr. Thomas
Herran, the Colombian charge de af-
fairies, received advices to-day from
American friends in Bogota that the
chances of the ratification of the treaty
have improved greatly in the last few
days.
No reason is assigned for this change,
but DR.. Herran thinks the decision of
President MarrOquin that although the
Congress did not meet last year, it's
regular session cannot occur until July
20 of next year, may have had con-
siderable effect on public opinion. The
constitution provides that regular ses-
sions of Congress shall be held every
two years, beginning with 1885, thus
making it impossible for the regular
session of Congress to be called except
in even years.
This means that the present special
session of the Colombian Congress can
be continued as long as the President
desires, and can consider only those
questions put before it by the Presi-
dent.
DIR. Herran will call at the State De-
partment tomorrow to advise Secre-
tary Hay of the encouraging news.

DIsRAELPs CHALLENGE.
How He Disposed of Two Men Who
wanted to Fight Him.

Rev. G. w. Skene in the Scotsman.
In his early days Mr.. Benjamin Dis
raeli was known as a young man of
considerable literary promise, and lat
err events justified a certain unruf-
fed self-confidence, which, while it
amused man, occasionally irritated
some, to their own discontinue.
When travelling abroad, he visited
Malta, and stayed there for some time.
Well provided with letters of introduce
ton, he made many friends, and his
brilliant social gifts rendered him a
welcome guest everywhere. The Of
ficers' mess in particular pressed him
to regard himself as permanently at
tached to them during his stay, and
before long he was on intimate terms
with them all. One of them. Capt. A.,
vouched to the writer for the absolute
truth of the two following incidents, in
which as will be seen, he himself
played a part:
At a ball Mr.. Disraeli observed with
app rowing favor a young lady of con-
spicuous beauty, and he resolved to
dance the next dance with her. Her
hand was at the moment resting on
the arm of young Maltese and the
dance was about to begin, when Mr..
Disraeli hurriedly sought and obtained
an introduction and instantly proffer-
ed himself, with profound respect, as
her partner. She bowed and smiled and
indicating the gentleman by her side
regretted that she was already en-
gagged. That does not in the least
matter" was Mr.. Disraelis only COM
ment, as with superb nonchalance he
transferred the lady's hand to his own
arm and danced with her.
NeYf nnOT11ioD 10 OaIIad m
A. The Maltese, 1t appeared, was fur
ious, and thirsted for blood. He had
sent Mr.. Disraeli a challenge and the
object of this early visit was to secure
Capt. AS services as a military
friend. Having heard what had taken
place he said:
MY dear fellow. am afraid you are
in the wrong. Would it not be best
No, no." was the light-hearted in
terruption. IF / had wanted advice /
should have gone to a lawyer 1 have
come to you, knowing l could rely on
you to act for me. Vestigia nulla re-
trorsum. Things have gone too far.
Look at this!" and he tossed across the
table the letter he had receivedh Capt.
AS face fell for it was an I'M
mistakable challenge, couched in the
formula of the day:
Whereas Mr. Disraeh has permitted
himself to behave with scant courtesy
to a lady in a public place and in
a manner which Mr.. b. can only re-
gard as grossly insulting to himself,
Mr.. B. looks on Mr.. Disraeli as no gen.
tleman."
That was all, but it was enough.
Such words left no room for explana-
ton or apology, and could be followed
only by a meeting, as a duel was in
those days systematically called. Capt.
A. shook his head and said:
well, after that of course, you'll
have to meet him. / suppose you want
me to go to him at once and arrange
the time and place with his second?"
Mr.. Disraeli nodded and answered:
AT once. if you please" But the stern
words had a curious ring irAthem, and
as Capt. A. looked up he saw the
