STRANGE POINT IN MOTOR CASE.
Can a Chauffeur Who Raises Dust Be
Held CriminalIy.

Paris Dec. s8O.-A curious point in
an action against a motor car driver
came before the judges of the French
chamber. 1t was a question as to
whether a. chauffeur who had raised
dust could be proceeded against for
homicide for carelessness. On May 1
last an automobile passed a cyciist on
the road between Melun and Paris.
The car raised a cloud of dust. with
the result that the cyclist could not see
his way. His machine swerved, and
he was overtaken by another motor
car, which knocked him down and
killed him.
Could the driver of the first car.
which had raised a cloud of dust, be
held responsible for the accident
caused by. the second carp The case
came before the CarbeiI court, which
imposed a fine of 5000 on the driver
of the second car, besides compelling
him to pay $500 compensation. But
the driver of the car which caused the
dust to fly was acquitted. and his claim
for $40 for being unjustifiably prose.
cuted was allowed against the family
of the cyclist who was killed. This
decision was appealed against.

only TO desert me, and it was not diff

Well, I had ceased to speculate lfpon

Thing seemed clear to me; that she

him. Why she had assisted me to es-

heart softened toward one whom she
knew had learned to love her during
those bright days we had passed in
each others society. But that she
loved me in return I dared not even
nope. Her answer to my declaration
had been laugh, and to me this girls
heart was as sealed book. Moreover
IL occurred to me that Valcour also
loved her, and into his eyes had seen
her gaze as she never had gazed into
mine during our most friendly inter
course.
The carriage had vanished long
since, and the night air was chill. I
returned to the porch of the deserted
house. and curling myself up on one
of the benches soon sank into a pro-
found slumber, for the events of the
day had well-nigh exhausted me.

told of a farmer named aCaudon, may
or OF Dampierre, having killed his
wife because she had begged him to
take her life, and thus put an end to
the pain she suffered. She was af-
fficted with cancer, and often asked
her husband to kilt her. He at last
consented. Taking ~ a Woodchop-
per he split her head almost in two.
After the crime he quietly donned his
Sunday clothes, and. putting his BUSH

LIGHT OF BLUE RAYS
The Effect Of Color on various Dis
eases.

London. Dec. 30.-s'I want a.-tooth
extracted; blue light, please" may
soon be the fashionable request at the
dentists DR.. Harvey billiard, an
aesthetist to the Royal Dental Hos
pital, London, has been experimenting
with blue light, and its erect Of pro-
ducing insensibility to pain. He tried
1t on a man who had a. molar removed.
and said he felt no pain; indeed, he
came back to have others pulled un-
der the same influence.
In an article in the medical Times
and Hospital Gazette DR.. billiard
states that he found that blue light
had on himself B. most distinctly calm
ing influence; a desire to close the eyes
and sleep is experienced, and after
some minutes sensibiIity to pain is les
sened. For instance, the difference
between light pressure, made with the
tip of the little finger and a needle,
could not easily. be detected, and sur
gicat needles could be pushed into the
face, lips, gums and arms, and blood
ing felt, unless a still deeper pressure
were exerted.
L believe the presence Of a blue
lamp suitably PLACID might give salts
factory results in the treatment Of in
somnia, owing to its calming influence,
and i have tried it with some benefit
in one case" says DR.. billiard. 'Sim-
ilarly, In the restlessness of infants
suffering from mild illness, and in asy-
able that blue light rays might be Of
value. This view is supported by the
fact that red light has been found to
have a beneficial effect upon smallpox,
as it is inimical to the vitality of the
germs of that disease.

PHILIP BACH.


 Philip Bach, for the past thirty years a resident of Jacksonport, merchant and respected citizen, died Wednesday night about s o'clock, after short illness with pneumonia.
 The deceased was born in Ger many and was a brother of Con- rad and Peter Bach, both of whom preceded him to the grave. He was enlisted in the regular army prior to the civil war and served in several Indian cam paigns with commanders who later achieved fame as generals. In the late civil war he served under the stars and stripes, while his brother defended the stars and bars. The fortunes of war made them members of opposing armies at the battle of Shiloh.
 The brothers lost trace of each other for some time, when Peter Bach's inquiries finally led to the location of Philip Bach in New Orleans, where Capt. Joyce found him and brought him as a passenger on the Seminole to Jacksonport, which has since been his home.
 The funeral services were held at two o'clock at the store of the deceased, and the remains laid to rest at Robinson graveyard.
 He lived to attain his seven- tieth year, and his life was full of acts of kindness and charity. Big-hearted, he loved his fellow men, and they in turn mourn the departure of one beloved.
