The Origin Of Smallpox

The literary as we'll as the patho-
logic history of smallpox presents
many items of very special interest.
All readers of the clouded annals of
the Middle Ages" are acquainted with
the fact that Arabian writer's were for
many. centuries the recognized apos-
ties of philosophy and physical science
including the sundry departments
OF medicine and surgery-to the vari-
GUS nations of western Europe. And
it is to one of these, Abu Becker Mo.
manned ben Zechariah a. D. $50.
1922, the earliest and most original of
all the great Moslem physicians, that
medical science and medical literature
are indebted for the first recognition
of smallpox as distinct disease, and
it's first description in written Ian
guage. This venerable authority is
generally known to posterity as
Rhazes, a name which he derived
from Raj, the place of his birth. His
original description of this formidable
disease has been made familiar to
English inquirers through the medium
of DR.. Greenhill's translation. In adj
dition to his observations on disease
proper, the powers of observation of
Rhazes, a name which he derived

as: A man with large ears is stupid.

Forgot the Color Line

About noon Tuesday, while the vet.
Grams were being fed, scene was en-
acted that illustrates better than any
thing else could the fact that the
veterans have gathered In reunion
without reserve.
With the importing throng comes
two old darkies, clad in gray uniform
and wearing Confederate badges.
They We're both old men, and assisted
their feeble steps with sticks. AS
they came down the long aisles; they
looked K searchingly about, and. finally
matted malt at the end, apparently having
tailed to find what they sought.
There were several vacant, places
and one of the old fellows touched an
old veteran lon the arm and, said:
Excuse me, mister, but. is they a
place; here for colored nien?'
The old soldier turned around, saw
the dark faces looking at him, ran his
eye; quickly over the, gray. uniforms.
and blurted out: ~ :s; - u
No, Stree they amt, but by O.
if you all amt good enough to eat
with white folks: 1 amt going to eat
no mob myself. You all eat right
here by me, an if any white man
makes a fuss I'll take care of him .

talk, turned around and joined with
the first white veteran. The old

THREE YEARS FOR DR.. VERNON
st. Louis Dentist Sentenced for
Bribery in Connection With Sc
lection of Post Office Sites.

Hannibal. Mo-, Dec. 10.-Dr. ]. B.
Vernon, who was convicted, Friday
evening, in the United States district
court on the charge Of paying United
States agent money to influence the
selection of post Office sites at Moberly,
Kirksville and Columbia, was sem
fenced by Judge Adams to three years
in the penitentiary. He was convicted
on six counts.
The judge, in sentencing Vernon, re-
ferred to the fact that a number
people were going about seeking fol
an opportunity to bride, and that he
regretted that there was no law by
which they could be reached.
A motion for a new trial was over
ruled and notice was given of an ap-
peal. The bond was placed at $1O,-
600 and Vernon was taken to st.
Louis, where he will be kept until the
appeal papers have been prepared and
he has an opportunity to furnish bond.

COTTON WAREHOUSE PLAN
Movement in Progress Designed to
Benefit the Cotton Planter.
A System of Cooperative Ware
houses Throughout the Southern
States In Contemplation.

st. Louis, Dec. 10.-Judge Eugene
Williams, of Waco, Tex, is in st. Louis
endeavoring to interest local capital
list in the Texas cotton warehouse
scheme, which, he believes, will enable
pie.
Judge Williams evolved the plan for
a system of warehouses throughout the
southern states, the planter, merchant
and capitalist cooperating, and he has
already secured the support of these
interests.
He hopes to secure financial assist
ance in st. Louis and believes it is only
a question of putting the proposition
ccncisely before the moneyed interests
to secure whatever backing is neces-
sary for the success of the venture.
His plan provides for the organiza-
ton of auxiliary companies in each
county of the cotton-producing states,
the relations of the several companies
being similar to those of the individ
ual state to the national government.
He will discuss these plans in de-
tail with some of the local capitalists,
producing states, and believes that
what has been done in the wheat mar
ket can be accomplished in cotton.
He proposes to have the cotton
stored in the warehouses, making the
consumer deal directly with the plant
sr for the staple, the surplus staple Ee-
ing carried over from season to sea-
son, if necessary. He believes that, in
this way, better and more uniform
prices will obtain.

CREDITORS LEFT
TO Hold The BAG.
Result Of Merger Between St. Louis
Transit Co., United Railways
and Brown Syndicate.
FORMER C0MPANY'S CREDITORS
CAN OBTAIN NO SATISFACTION.
Suit is Under Way to Prevent the
Contamination of the Merger,
Which Has All the Appearance of
a Very Shrewd Financial Deal
for Those on the Inside.

st. Louis, Dec. 10-The taking of
dispositions in the suit of J. Brooks
Johnson, one of the stockholders in
the former st. Louis Transit Co., to
dissolve the tripartite merger between
the Transit Co., the United Railways
Co., and Brown Bros syndicate, and
to restore the Transit Co. lease, will
be resumed before Special Commission
er Clifford B. Allen, Monday.
Four witnesses have been heard rel
ative to the case. These were Albert
II. Bauer, James Adkins, secretary and
treasury of the United Railways Co.,
Murray Carleton, president, and Alan
son D. Brown, a member of the board
of directors of the United Railways Co.
The substance of the testimony was
that by the surrender of the lease of
the Transit Co. to the United Rail-
ways Co., and the transfer of it's as
sets to Brown Bros. & Co., not a cent
was left for the stockholders and
creditors of the Transit Co.; that
when the news of the merger became
public Transit Co. stock dropped from
s1O.S7 to 1915.
Alanson D. Brown testified that the
value Of his stock in the United rail-
ways was about twenty-five times as
great as that of his holdings in the
Transit Co.
Murray Carleton, president, testified
that he held stock in the Transit Co.
and that he was. member of the syn
dictate for the purpose of buying S.
000,0 900 of Transit Co. bonds, $4,000
900 of which were held by Brown Bros.
& Co., of New York, who engineered
the deal. Afterwards, the bonds were
found to be unstable, he said. His
stock in the Transit Co. he had in
dorsed to Brown Bros, to vote on, Oc-
tober 10, and that he was largely inter-
ested in the Brown Bros. syndicate, he
testified, although he was not to have
any interest in the $1,000 shares which
Brown Bros. received for effecting the
merger, nor any share of 20 per cent.
of the profits that Brown Bros. were
to realize from the deal. However, he
was to share in the 80 per cent. of prof
its of the merger
Mr.. Carleton further testified that
by the sale of the Transit Co. assets
and the surrender Of its lease there
was not a dollar left for the share
holders or creditors of the Transit |

Her Temporary Weakness. y
New York, Dec. 1O-Mrs. Chadwick
has regained her remarkable nerve. In
prison she has thrown off that totter-
ing gait and trembling weakness
which made her a conspicuous figure
wherever she appeared Thursday and
Friday.
DR.. Levin. the city physician, looked
at Mrs. Chadwick Saturday morning
and declared he could see nothing the
matter with her. He said she could
undertake a journey without doubt as
to her ability to stand it.
Mrs. Chadwick attempted to correct
some of her erratic indiscretiOns. She
apologized to Attorney Carpenter for
disregarding mis- advice and demand
ing that the examination be waived
in the case against her in order that
she could return to Cleveland
Mrs. Chadwick is very bitter against
her New York friends, whom she says
had not the moral courage to admit
they were her friends by signing her
bail bond.
That Mrs. Chadwick lost her head
in her fury of anger over the fact that
for the want of $4,000 she had been
forced to go to the Tombs is shown
also by the fact that she now repudi-

she was taken to prison, but which

CHARGES ARE IMPENDING
A Diplomatic Shakeup is Likely
to Occur After March 4,
Changes Likely to Occur in Some Of
the Important American Em-
bassies AbrOEd.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The tenue Of
cabinet officers and of ambassadors and
ministers to foreign countries contin-
ues during the pleasure of the presi-
dent Custom, however, has estab-
lished that this tenure practically
terminates with the term of the presi-
dent by whom the appointments were
made, and the rule has been that the
officials named shall present their res
ignations soon after a presidential
election and in ample time to permit
the new president to either continue
them or name successors. That the
rule will be adhered to by those now
holding the offices named there is no
reason to doubt.
The common belief IA that changes
will be made in the embassies at Lon
don, Paris, Rome, the City of Mexico,
and perhaps st. Petersburg. Ambassa-
dor Tower is likely to remain at Ber-
lin and Ambassador Storer at Vienna.
1t is expected that numerous changes
will be made among the ministers.
Successors, it is known, are to be
named to Minister Conger, at Pekin,
and Minister Griscom, at Toxic.
While nothing definite can be
learned with regard to those who will
be selected for ambassadors and min
listers, the general belief prevails that
Whitelaw Reid will succeed Ambassa-
dor Choate. Mr.. Reid was minister to
France from 1889 to 1892, under Presi-
dent Harrison. 1t is believed there is
a tacit understanding that the place
will be rendered to Mr.. Reid and that
he has signif1ed willingness to &C
