DOCTORS BAFFLED
BY Case of White Man Who is
Turning Black.

A remarkable case Of a mans
body changing its color engages
the attention Of the doctors Of the
London Hospital, says the London
Telegram.
Just over two years ago man
named Dodd was admitted to the
Poplar and Stepney Sick Asylum.
His skin was much the same as
that of other white men, but since
that time it has been gradually
turning darker.
Already the skin in spite OF med
ical efforts to restore it's color, has
become so dark that he is likely to
become absolutely black, unless the
skill of the London Hospital staff
can arrest the course of this strange
complaint.
1t is stated there is no apparent
reason for the extraordinary
change which is taking place.
Such cases are very rare, but on
at the London Hospital the
information was given that there
are certain drugs the consumption
of which has been known to turn a
white mans skin almost black.
But there is no suggestion that
the taking of drugs is the expla-
nation in the present case, and
hitherto the doctors have been quite
baffled by the uncanny metamor-
phosis.
Dodd 10 to be removed to the
London Hospital and placed under
a course OF treatment.
Although cases of white men
turning black are apparently UNI
known TO science, negroes are not
known 10 have turned white, al
though X-ray experiments in
America were reported in Decem-
Der last to have succeeded in
bleaching parts of the skin of GER
tain negroes.

A Summer tiome.

A modern Southern home, illus
trated in the Delineator for July,
commends itself not only to those
who dwell ia torrid zones but as
well to those in northern parts who
build with an aim of lessening the
discomforts of the summer climate.
In the exterior, Portland cement
and rough sawed chestnut, gray
stained are the main factors, giving
a solidity that is we'll calculated to
resist the rays Of the sun, without,
however, sacra6cing the artistic
possibilities, Commodious, high
ceiled rooms and green woodwork
within contribute to the appearance
Of GOODNESS, while a quaint effect is
given by the furnishings and deco
rations. Coy inglenooks and in
teresting mantels are other attrac-
tive features of the summer home.

DEADLIEST POISON.
Cyanide of CacOdyI Kills Instantly

A new and most deadly poison
has been discovered recently, as
noted in a scientific journal, by
Mr.. Lascelles Scott, an English
man. The substance is scientific.

this substance diffused in roomfull

degrees, and boiling at l40 degrees.
when exposed to the air it emirs a
slight vapor, to inhale which is

from the effect of that single infni-
teslmal dose. Although so little OF
the properties of this poison are
known 1t was first made many
years ago. Cadet, the famous
Preach chemist, by combining
acetate of potassium with white
arsenic, produced tuning liquid
which, although he did not know it,
was oxide of cacodyl. The German
chemist, Bunsen, combined this
with cyanogen, radical of prussic
acid, and made cyanide OF cacodyl.

The Midsummer Styles

The decided change IN dress, due
to the 1880" revival, is gradually
moving onward through the pictur-
esque and semi severe Directoire
phase, marked by board collars,
bretelles. waistcoats and gauntlets,
into the coquettish femininity of the
Second Empire. The preference
for gowns of net. silk, chiffon and
silky voile is becoming more evil
dent. Quantities of lace and frill-
ings are used IN trimming them.
Very pretty Summer gowns show
a round or V necked waist over
lace tucker. with undersleeves to
match. In some of the newest
sleeves, the drop at the elbow is
gone, and the greatest fullness ap-
pears just below the shoulder;
thence it tapers downward into the
frllls that fall from the elbow, or in
to a mousquetaire, wrinkled and
closely fitted. Many of the sleeves
are elbow length and call for long
gloves.
The newest shoulder wrap is
shaped like a bertha or a low
necked maDtilla in the back, and
has long stole ends that fall grace
fully over the arm almost to the
floor.
Petticoats of silk and of lingerie
are flounced and frilled to an enor-
nous degree in order to support the
fullness of the modish skirt. A
clever idea is the use of adjustable
flounces which button into place
upon washable petticoat that fits
the hips like sheath.-From The
Delineator for July.

The Up-tO-Date Bathing Costume.


The bathing costume has in these
days of extravaganza achieved rare
attractiveness. tits no longer the
unsightly garment of heavy blue
flannel, with several rows OF white
braid as it's only trimming, but is
fashioned from mohair that is al
most as lustrous and fine as silk, or
of fine serge and cheviot. Even
the bathing costume of silk or satin
is no longer a novelty. These silky
bathing dresses with braid trim
mings or bands of contrasting color,
are very attractive, and points in
their favor are that they dry
quickly. Black or dark blue is the
choice of the conservative taste, but
brown and dark red are seen, and
the white bathing costume, trimmed
with either white or a color is fash
ionable. Bathing shoes and stock
ings, the latter matching the color
of the costume, are included in the
outfit, and the oil silk cap, with its
covering of bright-hued silk, or
even a cotton bandana, is not only
an attractive conceit, but a thor
oughly practical one as well.--From
an article on outing styles in the
July Delineator.

The WEDDING DAY.

Sweetheart, name the day for me,
When we, too, shall welded be;
Make it ere another moon,
While the meadows are 10 tune,
And the trees are blossoming,
And the robins mate and sing.
Whisper, love, and name a day
In the merry month of May.
No, no, no,
You shall not escape me Sol
Love will not forever wait;
Roses fade when gathered late.
File, for shame, Sir Malcontent!
How can time be better spent
Than in woolng? l would wed
When the clover blossoms red;
When the air is full of bliss,
And the sunshine like a kiss.
If you're good I'll grant boon;
You shall have me, sir, in June.
Nay, nay, nay!
Girls for once should have their way
If you love me, wait till June;
Rosebuds wither picked too soor

FINLEY SHUCK LOSES.
Brought Suit on Contract Made
With Former Auditor Coulter
For 81, 400 Salary.

Frankfort, KY, June 1.-THE
case of the commonwealth VS. the
Bank of Commerce, on appeal from
the Jefferson circuit court, was ar
gued before the whole bench in the
court of appeals today. The case
is a test case, involving the right
of the state TO tax deposits in banks,
and every bank in the state is inter
ested. John L. Dodd and Judge
Humphrey argued for the banks,
and Messrs. Lucas and Taylor,
auditors agents, for the State.
Decision Against Shuck.
The court of appeals, in an ooin-
ion by Chief Justice Burnam, re.
versed the Franklin circuit and
state fiscal court in the case of H..
S. Bosworth against Finley Shuck.
Shuck brought suit on contract
made with former Auditor Coulter,
by which he was to receive So, 400
per annum for term beginning in
1860. A judgment was rendered in
Shuck's favor in the lower court,
and the action was to compel
Treasurer Bosworth to pay a bal.
ance Of 81 500 on a warrant. This
court holds the appropriation hav-
ing been exhausted, it cannot be
enforced.

Congratulation All Around.

The weavers' strike at the factory OF
the Marston Worsted Mills, which has
been prolonged now for neatly two
months, and caused our townspeope
much worry lest 1t might lead to mort
serious trouble, was finally adjusted,
Tuesday. The company makes no cor
cessiona, and only takes back as many
weayers as are needed to complete the
day shift of so looms. The others,
whose places have been largely filled by
weavers from away, must look elsewhere
for employment.
The strike originated In a mere quit
BILE over the closing OF the windows.
Nearly two hundred strikers went out,
and as the early days passed many
sought work elsewhere while Of those
remaining several gradually gave up the
fight and returned to their work, until
the number of dissenters were but forty
one. 1t is understood only nine of these
were taken back by Tuesday settlement.
The mill is now running Its full COM
pement of 80 looms during the day aud
commences again with night force of
about 20 looms tonight which will BE-
increased to Its capacity shortly.
This is certainly good news for all cor
cerned, the Marston Mills being one
OF our best industries.

Yesterdays storm.

The thunder storm, yesterday noon,
was very severe both 10 the amount of
rain that fell and in electrical manifest
ations. 1t came up very suddenly and
from u N. to 1890 the downpour was
well up to the limit of what is ever seen
here.
At the station of the Skowhegan
Electric Light Co. the lightning went
through an Edison dynamo, doing some
damage, and running small transformer
on the switchboard. 1t also struck Il
large transformer located on one the
company's main lines on the south side.
In all the company meets with loss of
from $500 to $500.
Lightning also visited the power house
of the Somerset Traction company doing
some slight damage which necessitated
emitting the regular one O'Clock trip.
The operators at the telephone ex.
change found after the storm that the
farmers circuit, which runs to Malbon's
Mills and Vicinity, would not work and
Brighton and Lake George failed to
respond.

FOUR FIRE ALARMS.
Department Was Busy, But Little
 Loss Resulted.


 The Fire Department had four runs yes- terday, all of which were in the after noon and in the course of four hours time.
 The fires were with one exception in- significant roof blazes, and the combined loss of the four fires is probably not eX- ceeding $25.
 A telephone alarm at ;37 o'clock sent tue Department to tho residence of W. D. Lamar, 34 Mobile Street, where some excitement was caused by a defective fiuc. There was no damage.
 The second fire at 3 o'clock, was a blaze on the roof of the residence of Mrs. J. H. Cook, 127 Martha Street, caused by sparks from chimney. A small hole was cut in the roof by the fremen in order to get at the fire but otherwise there was no damage.
 One hour later the Department went to the residence oe w. A. Crossland' 6l7 South Hull Street. A little roof blaze WAS easily eXtinguished without material dam age to the house. The alarm was first sent in by telephone and the trucks wefe on their way to the fire when Box 5i at the corner of South and Hull Streets was pulled.
 The explosion of a small oil stove at 5:3O o'clock in the bath room of Judge J. B. Gaston's residence, 300 Dexter Av- enue, sent the Department to the scene on a telephone alarm. The damage was trivial.

If you have any doubt on this point kindly read the following letter from one who knows that the claims regarding the merits of the Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out by facts.
 For a long time I suffered with blind piles. They gave me so much pain and uneasiness that they almost disquaIIfied me for doing anything. saw an ad in The Atlanta Journal of Pyramid Pile Cure and ordered 50 cent box.

CURES WITHOUT STOMACH DOSING
Hyomei Cures Catarrh by Simple Breathing. E. c. Fowler R funds Money If It Fails to Cure.

A long stride toward solving the mys- tery of curing catarrh was taken with the discovery of Hyomei. In fact, the per- centage of cures by this treatment proves ! it equal to the final tests.
 The folly of taking medicine into the stomach to cure catarrh of the nose, throat and Nlungs. has been realized by physicians. but not until Hyomei was known. had they practical method that would obviate stomach drugging. A complete Hyomei outfit costs but Sl, and consists of a neat pocket inhaler that can be used anywhere without at tracting attention. a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei.
 Breathing Hyomei through the inhaler, every particle of air that enters the nose. throat and lungs, Is charged with heal ing balsam that soothes and allays all irritation, kills the catarrhal germs and enriches the blood with additional ozone.
 E. G. Fowler, Druggist, has so much faith in the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh that he Is selling 1t under his per sonal guarantee to refund the money if 1t does not give positive relief
