THE DENCUE GERM FOUND.
Surgeon of United States Army Makes
the Discovery in the
Philippines.
The germ of the dengue has beer

The germ of the dengue has been
found.
To Capt. Harry A. Eberle, a surgeon
| Of the United States army. is due the
| credit of this noteworthy discovery. For
| two years he has been stationed in the
Philippines, and while there has had the
opportunity of handling numerous cases
of this disease. An epidemic of the den
| que broke out on the island CT Jolo, and
at one time there were 40 cases in the
hospital. Observing the rapid travelling
of the disease through en- infected dis
trict, DR.. Eberle set about To find the
germ and if possible a preventive. Prior
to his joining the army, CaptaEbe-!e was
a general practitioner, but of the "a
raria he made a specielty. His work of
classifying the different types' of the ma
laria first brought him to the notice OF
the medical world.
In speaking OF, the dengue germ Capt.
Eberle said:
"The microbe of the. dengue resembles
closely that of the malaria, and it is COM
municated to the human body by a NOS
quito. The germ is very elusive. AID it
cannot be properly examined except in
fresh blood specimens. For 20 months
| was in Jolo. and was there during an
epidemic of the dengue. | mRdc extern
sive researches into the disease, which
had baffled the medical men, and my
work has been rewarded by the fortunate
discovery of the microbe. i. submitted
two reports to Washington, and was en-
couraged to further research. I revised
my work and have prepared a volumin-
GUS report and drawings Of the germ, and
will present them to the surgeon gen.
eral. l have named the microbe the
| plasmoeba.
Another discovery worthy Of men
ton has been made during my stay in
the Philippines. For some time it has
been the impression that mosquitoes,
to which are largely due the spreading
of diseases, exist only In pools of water
and swamps, and in order to exterminate
them as much as possible we have COW
cred these spots with oil, but it apparent
ly did little to remove them. l searched
far and wide for other places where the
insects thrive, and found that they flour
ish as well in trees, particularly the CO.
coanut and papaya trees"

ATLANTIC CITY. March %, 1904
With Easter still week distant the re-
sort is comfortably filled with visitors. and
every train entering the city from New
York is crowded a majority of those from
Philadelphia filled to their capacity and
the travel from the south is unprecedented
ly heavy. The New York trains today are
running in sections and these will be in
creased to meet the heavy travel of next
week. 1t Is likely that the Philadelphia
trains will also run in sections throughout
next week, although the regular schedule
has been considerably increased for the
past ten days. While speculations on the
weather for Easter are already heard,
there is now hardly a possibility that
week from tomorrow will see the greatest
crowd ever gathered on Absecon Island, not
even excepting the midsummer crush. The
fame of the Easter day parade on the
boardwalk has spread throughout the coun-
try, and those who have participated in it
in the past will be here again and thou
sands who have never seen it will come for
a glimpse of the spectacle. Every room in
every good hotel on the island has been al
ready engaged for Easter. and the beach
front hotels are well filled today. One
week from today thousands of cots will be
brought into reduisition.

Atlantic City Country Club. which closed

MARRIAGE-PENNSY OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
MENT.

MENT.
In the pension claim of Annie E., widow
of Gilbert Laraway, the Pension Bureau
held that the claimant was not the soldiers
widow, he having at the time Of their mar
riage a former wife living and undivorced.
The claimant had no knowledge of the
former marriage of deceased until 10 years
after his death. She had, until then, no
reason to doubt the validity Of their mar
riage. By the laws of Pennsylvania, where
the illegal marriage was contracted, the
marriage relationship is not established by
reason of the parties continuing to live in
the relation of husband and wife after the
death Of the legal husband or wife. A new
marriage contract is required.
In this opinion Assistant Secretary Mil
Ter, Oct. %, 1903. said:
I'm this appeal she contends that the evil
dence establishes a valid common-law mar
riage between her and soldier after the
death of his first wife in 1870.
'This contention can not be sustained.
The formal marriage between claimant and
soldier in 1873 in the State OF Pennsyl-
vania was unquestionably, and is admitted
to have been, void because of his former
marriage in 1865 to Eliza Brown. whom
he deserted. and from whom he was never
divorced; and there is no evidence of any
new marriage contract between soldier and
claimant after the death Of his first wife.
case of any new actual marriage after the
death of the soldiers first wife.
"The evidence herein fails to show a
valid marriage between claimant and SOL
der under the laws of the State where
they reside. and she can not be considered
as his widow.
Rejection Of claim is affirmed"
