Special 70 the Indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, May 26.-The auto
mobile was used here last night TO carry a
local surgeon TO Kimmel, forty miles dis
tant, resulting in saving the life of Mrs.
Nj. c. Beck, daughter of Orland Kimmel,
who seemingly was dying of hemorrhage.
The surgeon left here at 1875 in a car
driven By Clyde Richards and reached the
house of the patient soon after midnight,
having lost twenty minutes by bursted
tire, which had TO be replaced with the sub
stitute carried for emergencies. The sur
geon's skill stopped the loss of blood when
the pulse had almost ceased.
While he was in the house the surgeons
aid was solicited for Mrs. Beck's brother,
Thaddeus KiEmel, who is very i'll with ap-
pendicitis. An operation was speedily per-
formed and the chances in favor of his re-
cOVery.

DRINKING VENOM OF SNAKE
TAKEN IN GROWING DOSES TO LEARN
ITS VALUE: AS MEDICINE.
Experiments Are to Be Made at the Uni
versty of Michigan. Believed That
Snake Poison Is Useful Medicine.

Snake Poison Is Useful Medicine.
Upper classmen of the Alpha SignI
fraternity at the University of Mich
igan have decided to drink an unknown
poison till its effect on the human sys
tenn are known completely to science
The Alpha Sigma is a homeopathic
fraternity affiliated with the New York
fraternity, now drinking the venom OF
the cobra. DR.. A. E. Ibershof, head
| of the Michigan fraternity, will keep
| the name of the poison secret till the
test is complete. 1t will be hitherto
untried poison and not snake venom.
| Beginning with minute draught
taken one every two hours the potion
will be increased every week till the
men can stand quantity of VolsOn
which might be fatal at first. This
will continue for several months, until
the men begin to have a slight illness
with poison symptoms. Individual re-
ports on symptoms are to be made
every two hours and will be sent to
New York for classification.
A searching threefold examination
of physical, mental and moral charac-
ter is given each patient before his
experiment begins. Not only his bod
lily ailments, but his mental eccentric
tiles are recorded by each man with
conscientious thOrOughness.
A bad habit, bad temper or other
idiosyncrasy is to be tested under the
drugs effect as thoroughly as the heart
action. Ordinary bad habits are to be
continued during the poison period; :.
smoking is allowed, but all alcoholic
drinking must stop.
The treatment will begin in Febru-
airy, and in three months a second
three-told examination will complete
the test of one drag. If no serious re-
suits are felt the Michigan boys eX-
pect then to try snake poison. OF the
I6 members in the fraternity only half
have the courage to try the poison,
while freshmen are excluded.
Accurate knowledge of every effect
produced by the poison is the object OF
the test. According to the theory of
homeopathy, snake poison will become
useful smedicine when physicians can
prescribe 1t with certain kn0wl-
edge of what human functions will be
affected thereby.

LINCOLN KISSING BEE.
How a Martyr Presidents PunS
Notified His Wife.

Clearing a few pages from his dia-
~" as he put it, General Daniel f
Sickles recently recounted in an adj
dress at New York some of his expert
ences in the civil war, says the New
York Press. The most interesting OF
his stories were about Abraham Lin
coin.
Just after l had succeeded to the
command of HOoker's old division near
Fairfax" he said the president eX-
pressed a desire to see the famous di-
vision. On his arrival he was met by
an escort of 200 soldiers l had detailed.
What does this meanT he said when
he saw the large escort. I'm not an
emperor. Napoleon with his grand ar
nv didn't have such an escort as this
Another time President Lincoln and
his Youngest son, Tad visited us in
camp at Fredericksburg. Among the
officers and their wives who met him
at that time was the Princess Salm-
Salm. wife Of a Russian prince who
was commanding a regiment in that
division. She headed a party Of wo-
men who snluted him and who accom-
panied their salute with kisses. This
came to the knowledge of Mrs. Lincoln
through the prattling Of Tad and she
was much offended at me for the part
she thought took in that affair. That
evening l accompanied the president
and his party back to Washington,
and, to the embarrassment of the pres
ident, Mrs. Lincoln treated me coldly
He told several stories in an effort to
conciliate his wife, but without effect,

A Washington dispatch says Presl

to be making inroads upon his private
fortune. The $4,000 he receives as
salary from the government Is lar toC

Few of his pred in office saw

has surpassed all OF them in the bril-

made the white house the center OF

President Roosevelt is not an eX-
ceedingly wealthy man. When he
was elected governor of New York his
fortune was estimated at $22O,0OO he
also derived considerable revenue
from the royalties on the sale OF his
books, and his elevation to the presl-
dencv has since increased their popu'

THE PRICE OF COTTON WILL CONTINUE
Money Twenty Cents Cotton to Farmers Who
Who Have Buy Corn" Says Commissioner Stevens

"The farmers of Georgia are in bet
ter condition now than at any time
since the war, and I believe they will
continue to be prosperous. Many OF
them have money to loan and meat to
sell, and I would like to see this state
of affairs continue. If they have to
buy corn, however, don't think they
can make money, even if cotton was
bringing twenty cents. "
The advice of Commissioner Stevens
is excellent. He uttered golden
truth when he said there is 10 money
in twenty cent cotton to the farmer
who has to buy corn.
