COMFORT IN HAVING GOUT.
Some Are Proud of the Com plaint Be.
 cause It Argues High Living.


 "Gout Is the most fashionable of all the diseases" said prominent doctor. Tn spite of the pain and inconven- fence accompanying it, the majority of my gouty patients are inclined to be proud of their affiiction. look upon the popularity of the disease as the result of its associations. Ancient Greek physicians of the fourteenth cen Mry were the first to use the term gout,' and they attributed the disease to overlndulgence and luxury. In tho works of the early Greek writers the word Is frequently used, particularly in Ovid and Pliny, and Seneca in his ninety-tifth epistle mentions the prev. alence of gout among the Roman la dies of his day as one of the results of high living. Sir Thomas Watson says: The instances are not few of men of good sense, and masters of themselves, who, being warned by one visitation of the gout, have thenceforward resolute- ly abstained from rich living and from wine and strong drinks of all kinds, and who have been rewarded for their prudence and self-denial by complete immunity from any return of the dis ease, or upon whom, at any rate, its future assaults have been few and fee ble.'
 "Thus the word gout has indicated rich living and opulence for so lon a time that, although it does not invari ably attack the rich and well fed, there is always a smile and the usual pleasantries when sickness is pro- nounced gout. You have the gout, old fellow! Been treating yourself too well, ehT know physicians who, to humor their patients, take advantage of the Ieneral respect people have for gout by giving the name to various ether ailments, such as rheumatism. The term is much more popular and the symptoms are somewhat similar. I have seen people who absolutely brag ged about having the gout. I remem Der hearing a conversation on the sub ject between two old women and tho toice Of the speaker was high anu poastful when she said: My son John is laid up with the gout. It is the real thing, too red spots and all the regular symptoms. It is a result of too high lying, the doctor says "-Philadel- plA Record.

oIFTOMANlA A DISEASE.
If Your Friends GetIt You Will Profit
 and They Will Die Poor.

ana lney VIII Die FOOT.
 A singular rival to kleptomana has made its appearance among the well born and wealthy. Instead of falling victims to the irresistible propensity for stealing which characterizes klep- tomaniacs, sufferers from the latest af- fiction seem filled with desire to get rid of everything they possess, and do so by lavishly bestowing gifts in all directions. Several cases of gifto- mania-as doctors have named this curious complaint-have lately been exciting the interest of the medical profession, not the least remarkable of which is that of young married society woman who moves in the high est circles.
 Some time ago she developed a craze for making presents to all her friends and acquaintances, and the habit grew upon her to such an ex- tent that she spent all her allowance in order to satisfy her passion for giv- ing. The constant demands which she made upon her husbands purse and check book at last aroused suspicion in his mind that she was losing money by gambling. Investigation, however, soon proved that this suspicion was wrong, and the remarks which he heard from friends and acquaintances ultimately enabled him to discover the manner in which his wife disposed of her money.s
 A specialist was called in, who ad- vised foreign tour, stating that fresh scenes and the excitement of travel ing would probably have the effect of effacing the craze from the mind of the patient. This advice was duly carried out and resulted in a complete cure.
 Not quite such happy ending, now ever, attended a bad case of gifto- mania described by well known phy- sician at lecture some time ago. The victim was a man who had retired from business with a comfortable for tune, but in two years he had almost ruined himself by his mania for giv. ing. He would leave home in the morning with his pockets full of money, which he distributed indis- criminately among any beggars whom he happened to meet. Furthermore, he forwarded checks for considerable amounts to charitable institutions all over the country, and when at last his bank balance was exhausted he began to sell his property in order to satisfy his craze.
 Such actions naturally led his friends and relatives to imagine that the man was not quite sane, and an authority on mental diseases who was called in pronounced the case to be one of acute giftomania. So excited and violent did the patient become on learning that steps had been taken to prevent him giving away anything more that it was deemed advisable to place him under actual restraint-Chicago Trib- une.

ROBBED BY AUTO.

Hhe National Bank at Jamesburg was
entered by robbers on Wednesday night
but nothing was taken, as the. safe was
burglar-proof. From the tracks leslding
to and from the bank it was plain the
thieves were thoroughly up-to-date and
used an automobile.
The robbers forced an entrance to the
building by prying off heavy grating
over one of the windows and then cutting
out the sash They had knocked off the
knob of the safe door with a sledge ham
mer or other heavy implement, but the
door itself resisted all their efforts.
When the bank was opened yesterday
morning the cashier could not open the
safe, and he had to send for an expert.
No business was done until the safe was
opened.
As soon as it was: discovered that ara IT.
tempt had been made to robe the bank a
general alarm was sent out but as the
robbers had a good start and were trav-
cling, in an auto there is not much hope
of their capture.

ing to be a Republican landslide, THAT

There is change of sentiment all

Democracy, and believe that similar
conditions prevail all over the country.
In my opinion New Jersey win as surely

CHEERS FOR BL ACK
Voters Crowd the Catholic
Institute to Listen to
Expositions Of Demo-
cratic Principles.

The main Democratic meeting in this
city last night was that in the Third
Ward at the Catholic Institute, Third
street. The hall was crowded. Former
Mayor Hoos presided. He is resident
of the Third Ward. The great big hall
was packed with an intelligent, voting
audience. The meeting was one of the
biggest of the local campaign.
Assemblyman Myron Ernst made an
excellent speech in praise of the Demo
cratic Gubernatorial candidate, Charles
G. Black. He explained the doctrine of
equal taxation from Mr.. Blacks stand
point, showed the great financial gain
that would accrue to Hudson County and
other counties in which railroads held,
property by the adoption of the Democ-
cratic system of taxation. He urged his
hearers to support Mr.. Black at the polls
and impressed upon them the absurdity of
ueptHuiaS upon MI. IotOkeS 1ur aiu IIUlu
railroad oppression, Mr.. Stokes himself
being railroad official as well as rail-
road lawyer, was hardly likely to forward
any plan that would deprive his patrons
of revenue. Mr.. Ernst riddled the Re
publican platform, showing that their
equal taxation plank was so frail as to
give no support to the candidate who
stood on it. The speech was applauded
heartily.
Street and Water Commissioner Candi-
date Rooney made one of his brief but
Characteristic speeches that impress
rather by suggestion than argument. Mr..
Rooney's record as Freeholder speaks
so eloquently that his constituents
pledge their support in cheers the mo-
ment he appears.
National issues were discussed by
Charles G. Stedt, who made a vigorous
plea for the election of Judge Parker, and
who denounced in ringing terms the pol
icy of the present administrator,

The police of Brooklyn have won their
way into the good graces of John D. Cars

Mr.. Carscalen was on his way to visit
his daughter, Mrs. H. C. Lockwood, Of
No. 7S1 Carroll street, Brooklyn. 1t was
FIVE O'Clock in the afternoon and not
dark. As he started to climb into Sew
enth avenue ear the three pickpockets
closed in around him and gave him a.
hard shaking-up for man whose shoul-
der is nearly disabled from neuritis.. At
first he thought this roughness was mere
" incidental to Brooklyn travel. Then
he felt in his pocket and found that he
had been robbed.
Mr.. Carscallen got out and told
Roundsman Joseph E. Thompson, who
was standing on the corner. Thompson
had already sent Patrolmen Dean and
King after the thieves, who ran toward
Catherine ferry, and were caught just af-
ter they had thrown the pocketbook be-
hind partition in the ferryhouse.
The prisoners gave their names as
William Bell No. 27s West Thirty first
street; John O'Neili, No. Al East One
Hundred and Twelfth street, and
Thomas Kelly, No. "a East One Hun
dred and Thirty eighth street, all of Man
haitian. They were held in $1,000 bail
in the Adams Street Court yesterday
morning, and their examination was post
poned until next Monday.
