Mental Jaundice.

A new disease, or at least new
name for an old disease, has been dis.
covered by a noted brain specialist of
London. It is mental jaundice. Wor.
rying over trifes Is one cause. Greed,
pride and prejudice are others. What.
ever the cause, the effect is to make
one look upon this beautiful world OF
ours with discomfort and to find con.
tinual fault with our fellow travellers
toward the grave, writes Robert Web
ster Jones, In recent number Of the
Housekeeper "Let a person once be-
come infected with this disease says
tn specialist, "and nothing but the
most rigorous measures will effect
cure. I believe mental jaundlce is on
the increase, especially among the up
per classes. 1t Is the source Of more
unhappiness, to the patient as well as
to those about him, than almost any
other disease. Physical jaundice pro-
duces yellowness of skin, which, after
a while, becomes yellowness of the
eyes. This produces q condition Of
the eye which makes the patient see
everything yellow. Mental jaundice
is analogous. Its victim sees nothing
In its true colors or proportions. Ev-
erythlng is distorted by his diseased
mental condition"
What is the remedy? The specialist
does not say, but 1t may be assumed
that the cure rests almost wholly with
the patient. Optimism may be made
habit as well as pessimism. 1t Is well
within ones power to open the win
dows Of his soul and let in the sun.
shine. Cheerfulness produces both
mental and physical health. Let us
avoid getting into that condition
which invites mental jaundice. 1t Is
best combated by smile on the face
and a song In the heart.

NEW TRIAL FOR NAN PATTERSON
Jury In Murder Trial Was Discharged
Yesterday.

New York. Nov. 2s.-The jury In
the Patterson murder trial was dis
charged today. and at the same time
District Attorney Jerome served
notice on Miss Patterson's counsel
that new jury would be selected
and a retrial begun at the term of
court which opens one week from to.
day.
The illness Of Edward Dressler, a
juror who was stricken with apoplexy
last week, was the cause Of today's
action. When the jurors Illness was
reported at the opening Of court last
Saturday, Justice Davis ordered an
adjournment until today, hoping that
Dressler would recover sufficiently to
allow continuance of the trial. The
report of the physicians, which was
made at the opening OF court today,
that he was in no condition to return
to his duties, left Justice Davis no
alternative but to discharge the jury.
During the forenoon, when It became
almost certain that this action would
be taken, report went around the
court building that Miss Pattersons
counsel probably would make a
strong effort to have the defendant
released on bail. Their acceptance Of
the notice served by the prosecution,
however, seemed to dispose of that
story.
Following tho sudden and uncx-
pected interruption in the trial, Miss
Patterson is said to be on the verge
Of nervous collapse When the ad.
journment was ordered Saturday she
expressed keen disappointment. She
had been confident, she said, that the
jury would have acquitted her. and
was usre that few days more would
have seen her freedom.

London, Nov. 26.-Discoyery has
been made of an embezzlement of s5,-
100000 by a trusted employe of the
London House Of Rothschild This Is
at once the most stupendous en-
bezzlement in criminal annals, and
the first time in their history that the
Rothschilds have suffered through the
wrongdoing Of an employe.
Moses Blumenthal, head OF the
bullion department of the famous
family Of money lenders is the man
charged with the embezzlement He
had carte blanche to use the firms
name, and quite by accident it has
been learned that for q period, the
full length Of which has not yet been
learned, he has been disposing of
bullion entrusted to his care and sink
ing the proceeds in speculation.

may be imagined from the fact that
he has made away with 1880 troy
pounds of gold From this the Scot.

Charactoristically the Rothschilds
have quietly assumed the loss of ST.
250,00O sustained by them directly,
while the disposition of the balance
which had been deposited by clients
at the smelter, Of which Blumenthal
was the directing head, is not yet
settled.

sponsible for them, and finally the
smeltery has been abruptly closed.
Another important feature is the
farreaching effect which Blumen-
thals methods may have upon the
money market. He covered up his
peculations by adulterating the gold
sheltered in the FIRMS retineries.
This means an extra amount OF al

To accomplish this successfully, he

adulterated and under value, has been

cial firms and capitalists Of the three
States mentioned.
1t Is to be organized certainly not
later than six months after October
l, 1904, and in all probability within
half that time. From what has al.
ready been accomplished in the way
Of securing subscriptions for stock.
and substantial encouragement other.
wise, it Is obvions to those most In
terested that the organization will not
be deferred later than January next.
The State Of Mississippi has al.
ready been practically covered by the
promoters OF the new enterprise, and
the most enthusiastic support has
been accorded the design. The work
Is now being pushed in Arkansas and
in Tennessee, and everywhere the re.
ception given the promoters Is an en-.
thusiastlc one. Already more than
100000 Of the s1,00O,0O0 has been
subscribed, and the field has not been
more than half covered.
Memphis has not been worked at
all, For sufficient reasons, this city
was to be left until the organization
outside was completed as far as IL
could be carried and the matter
finally sprung here. 1t was the de-
prise to keep the plan secret as long
as possible, which could not be well
accomplished If this immediate terri.
tory should be worked at the outset.
Yet a few Memphis men have heard
Of it, and already more than 100000
OF the stock has been asked for here.
The scope Of the new enterprise is
beyond the immediate comprehension
of the reader who learns Of It for tho
first time. What it means to the peo-
pie of the three States throughout
which its stock will be scattered and
what 1t means to Memphis, are large
propositions. 1t will mean, for one
thing, that the money which during
certain seasons Of the year lies idle
in the vaults Of the country banks
can be transferred to Memphis and
placed upon the market at rates that
will prove alluring to both lenders
and borrowers. for the reason that
it will eliminate from the proposition
at least one agent and his commits.

Effort Before Arrival Of Fleet.
Berlin, Nov. 2S.-A dispatch to the
Lokal Anzeiger from Mukden under
yesterdays date, says:
1t is believed about headquarters
that the Japanese will make extraor-
binary efforts to win land victory
before the arrival Of the Russian sec
ond Pacific squadron. The move
ments of the fleet are reported In
each issue Of the army gazette, the
one hundreth number OF which was
printed Sunday
The paper is circulated throughout
the army, and is the only medium Of
news from the outcr world. AS soon
as it appears, the prlvates gather in
groups while one who can do so reads
the whole paper the soldiers listen.
ing, The soldiers are convinced that
the arrival of the second Pacific
squadron will end the war, as they
believe the japanese will be beaten
on the sea and seek peace,
Severe measures have been taken
against marauders. Several Cos
sacks of one regiment were sentenced
to death. One was shot in front of
the brigade, while the sentences o.
the remaining eleven were commuted
to penal servitude. Discipline gen
orally is good. Patrarchal relations
exist between the oflcres and men,
and the former are doing everything
possible for the latter.

MINES EXPLODED.

Chefoo, Nov. 2G.--The mines which
the Japanese have been placing un-
der the walls of the Russian forts on
the summit Of the Keekwan and Rub.
ling Hills have been exploded, accord
ing to reports reaching hero tonight
from sources usually reliable, and the
effect has been all that was desired,
The walls of the forts have been torn
down, and the fire OF the Japanese
guns on surrounding positions will
make 1t impossible, so it is claimed,
for the Russians to continue to hold
these positions any longer.
Up to the time Of the last advances
reports from Dalny said the Japanese
had not taken advantage OF the
breaches made by the mines nor at,

sion was that such an attempt would
soon be made, provided the engineers
concluded that it would be possible
to hold the captured positions and
protect seige guns so that they could
be used effectively The Japanese
claim that in the explosion of the
mines number of Russians were
slain.

Kuropatkin reports that there has

1t is held that the fighting to the

tions, preparatory to an advance in
that direction; but, as there are about
1000 Russian troops southwest Of

Japanese upon Gen. Rennekampf' S
position on November cath resulted
in three days fighting at Is Tsink-
