Formalin In Blood PoisoninR.

DR.. BarrOWS successful use or fOrmo-
lin in a dangerous case Of blood poison
Ing marks definite advance in the Sci
ence Of medicine and naturally attracts
widespread interest and comment. In
his report Of the case to- the New York
Academy Of Medicine DR.. Barrows tells
Of the treatment. of the negro woman
whom he found In Bellevue hospital dy.
ing Of blood poison following childbirth.
The first injection Of 500 cubic centime-
ters of solution of formalin in the pro-
portion Of to 5000 caused drop in
temperature, and the second injection
of solution. of the same strength, using
$50 cubic centimeters, placed the wom-
an on the road to recovery. DR.. Bar
rows said that culture of the patients
blood made before the injection showed
the presence Of strepticocci, the bacteria
which, he holds, are the cause of sepsis,
and when the woman had practically
recovered he found no trace of streph-
cocci. From this case he therefore drew
the conclusion that the formalin had de-
stroyed thessEeptic icocei and that 1t could
do no harm. ,,.. j.: -.
It cannot be expected, however, that
the results anticipated viii always at
tend the use OF the formalin treatment
Al sorts. a complications are liable to
occur cotneidently with sepsis, and even
the destruction Of the streptococci in the
blood might not restore the conditions
permitting recovery.
The formalin treatment was used In
the case of Editor Gonzales, who was
shot by Lieutenant Governor Tillman
of South Carolina, and that it did not
save his life is not to be wondered at
The liver was torn by the bullet, and
the septic poisoning resulting was
quickly beyond surgery. 1t is quite
probable that neither President Garfield
nor President Mckinley would have de-
rived any benefit from formalin 1njec-
tons, and theirs were typical cases of
blood poisoning caused by gunshot
wounds.
Very different, however, is the puer-
peral sepsis which sends so many
young mothers to the grave prema.
turely and which has ever been the
dread of the obstetrician. If the for,
malin treatment accomplishes nothing
more than to minimize the mortality
in such cases, it will be an inestimable
boon to humanity.
As the New York Times remarks, II
is the misfortune of discoveries Of this
kind that they are. put to impossible
tests by. unauthorized and empirical
experimenters and that success 1s ques

NEW SHORT STORIES

PAOacefote and the Detective.
The late Lord Pauncefote, British
ambassador, always entertained high
opinion Of the Washington detective
force. In fact, he believed they were
better even than those of Scotland
Yard, and the manner in which he
formed this view makes a very inter-
esting story. During the latter part Of
one spring several years ago his lord
ship and family decided to leave the
city for summers sojourn on the sea-
Chief Of Police Sylvester requesting
that he send up one of his best detec-
tives to assist and advise him as to the
best plan for making the house secure
against burglars.
Pursuant to the request, the major
sent one of his best men, and when he
arrived his lordship took him to where
he had locked the silverware in very
strong, old fashioned safe, the door of
which lacked combination and was
secured by lock and key: Pointing to
this safe, Lord Pauncefote exclaimed
that he would like to see the thief or
burglar who could break into that safe
and steal the plate within. The detec-
tive eyed the large iron vault for a few
minutes and then said:
Eyes, it is a very strong piece Of
work, but nevertheless I'll bet you a
bottle of champagne that can enter
this house without coming through a
door or window and open that safe in
less than five minutes"
The British ambassador took the bet.
When he first entered the mansion,
the detective had noticed that the Gel
lar gratings were unsecured, and, go
ing outside, he opened one Of them,
dropped down into the basement and,
coming up the kitchen stairway, was
soon in the room. in which the safe
holding the silver plate was located.
This of itself fairly took the breath
of the distinguished. diplomat, but
when the detective took from his pock-
ct a skeleton key and at one turn
opened the massive doors Of the safe
Lord Pauncefote was ready to confess
that the capital detectives were trifie
better than anything of the sort he had
ever seen, and he paid the debt with
interest several times before the officer
left. .....-...

Sister Aloysius Dead.

Sister Mary Aloysius, one of the oldest members of the Sisters of Mercy in the state, died at St. Jo- seph's infrmary, Hot Springs, on the 18th inst She had resided in Arkansas since 1859. Soon after the convent in Hot Springs was es- tablished, over twenty-five years ago, she went to that city. She was identified prominently with the es- tablishment of St. Joseph's infrma- " in that city, and with conducting that famed institution, within whose walls she surrendered her lease on life, after a career of great good and usefulness to humanity.

Commission Fixes Joint Rates.

At meeting of the state railroad commission held last week an order was made fixing through joint pas senger rates on all railroads in the state, in accordance with the act of the last legislature. The order re- quires that through tickets shall be sold when requested at any station on any road where a ticket agent is stationed to another station on any other road in the state, and that the rate shall not exceed the sum of the locals. The commission dces not reduce any rates, as had been expected 1t would do, and does not force the short lines to establish other stations or agents. The short lines may continue to charge , cents for roads under seventy-fye miles in length and 8 cents for roads under fifteen miles, as provid- ed specifically by statue, but in sell ing through tickets the joint rate shall in no case exceed the sum of the locals. It is a victory for the short lines.

Immigration Agents Inspect Ark.nsa..

A special bearing 140 members of the Missouri Pacific Immigration Bureau passed through Little Rock a few days ago, on a tour of the territory in Arkansas and Louisiana traversed by the Missouri Pacific system. The gentlemen spent sev- eral hours in Little Rock, the guests of the business men of the capital city. The Missouri Pacific Immigra- tion Bureau is the result of the plans laid by H. O. Townsend, gen. eral passenger agent of the Mis- souri Pacific system. He has been working for years to evolve scheme by which the riches of states through which the lines of the Mis- souri Pacific system run could be shown to men of capital and men who wanted homes. With this idea in view he organized the bureau, which has two classes of members. The first class is composed of men who own or control mineral, tim Der or farm lands along the Mis- souri Pacific lines. The members of the second class are known as foreign agents" and are spread from New York to Colorado They are in touch with the land owners and secure customers for them. On the first and third Tuesdays of each month the customers secured by the foreign agents are taken in hand by the railroad company and sent to the land owners along the Missouri Pacific lines. Although organized only a few months ago, Arkansas has already profted by the investment of many thousands of foreign capital, induced to seek this state by the members of this as- sociation.

Railroad Liable.

In the case of the German Ma tional Bank of Little Rock vs. the Arkansas Southern Railroad, a jury at Fl Dorado returned a verdict in favor of the bank for $39,000. This suit was the outcome of the Alphin- Lake cotton failure, the bank suing for the value of cotton represented by Arkansas Southern bills of lad ing upon which the bank advanced money. The bank set up the plea that when the bills of lading were presented to the railroad company, the cotton was not to be found. The railroad company set up the plea that the cotton was turned over to the compress and later shipped out via another carrier. The case has been appealed to the supreme court.

Small Sum Involved.

In the case of Ada Bowling vs. Joe Muldrow, decided in the su- preme court last week, Justice Hughes delivering the opinion of the court, controversy involving one-qnarter of cent was decided. This is probably the smallest amount ever passed upon by the supreme court of this state. The case in yolved the title to a piece of land which had been sold for taxes, and the title was attacked because of the alleged illegal sale for taxes. The case was tried on an agreed statement of facts, which showed that the legal amount for which it could be sold was $4.2S 3-4, while the sale was made by the collector for S4,29, thus exceeding the legal amount by one-quarter of one cent. In his opinion Justice Hughes said: "The only question in this case is, Does a sale of land for one quarter of cent more than Is due upon 1t render the sale void? It is true that a sale of land for taxes for an amount substantially in ex- cess of the amount due upon 1t will render the sale void, as in the cases of Cooper ys. Freeman Lumber Company, where the excess was 35 cents; in Goodrum vs. Ayres, 25 cents, and in Pack vs. Crawford, 2S cents. But in this case the over charge was not substantial, being for only one-quarter of a cent, an amount less than the least coin is sued by the government. To hold this sale invalid would seem to be absurd. There would be no way of making the exact change, and it seems trivial, and more reasonable that the party whose duty it was to pay the tax should pay one-quarter of a cent too much than that the government should lose three-quar- ters of a cent. The excess in this case was trifing and did not invali- date the sale" Reversed and re- manded, with instructions to enter a decree for the appellant.

Digest of Road Laws.

Deputy Secretary of State o. O..
 Ludwig has prepared and is dis tributing digest of the road laws enacted at the last session of the general assembly. The information given in this pamphlet is of great value to the general public. It shows that only two road laws of general importance were passed by the last legislature. One amends the act which provides for the use of the road tax collected in cities of the second class and incorporated towns, in counties voting the road tax, so as to make it discretionary with the 1evying court to employ a road commissioner. The other act provides that when a road tax shall have been voted, in addition thereto each male person between the ages of twenty-one and forty-fve years, subject to road duties, under the old law, shall be subject to four days work on said roads and bridges; provided that each person may, when he is lawfully warned, as is now provided by law, pay the road overseer of his road district, in lawful money of the United States, one dollar for each day he is lawfully warned to work, said tax to be collected by the overseer and by him expended on the public roads in his district in the way and manner he may deem most advant- ageous; provided, that each of said persons, or taxpayers, shall be al lowed to work out his tax and shall be allowed the sum of S1 for each days work, and that the overseer shall give his certificate or receipt showing the amount of the time said person has worked, which certificate or receipt shall be accepted by the tax collector in the payment of the taxes of said person in any amount not to exceed the total amount of his road tax; provided further, that where any person shall reside in the corporate limits of any city or town, who is required to perform labor upon the streets of said city or town, or who is required to pay a corporation tax in lieu of the ser vices upon said streets, shall be exempt from labor upon the public roads.
