SUICIDE IN PHILADELPHIA.
Victim Left Letter Revealing Secret of

sumed name for a quarter of a century.
and revealing the fact to his family and
friends that he was related by blood and
marriage to prominent and wealthy people
OF Pittsburg. Joseph A. Thompson of Phil
adelphia swallowed cyanide of potassium.
laid himself on bench IN Fairmount Park
and died. His body was found by man
who was strolling through the park. Near
him on the bench lay two letters, which, in
part. told the story of his life. The mans
name was supposed to be Joseph a.
Thomas. but the letters revealed that his
right name was Thompson, and that he had
married and reared a family under tho
name of Thomas
The mystery surrounding the mans
alleged double life has not yet been cleared
up by the police and they believe that
only the brother mentioned in the note to
the wife can throw light on the case.
He was about fifty-fiye years of age. He
married Kate Spangler OF Philadelphia
twenty-five years ago. and the couple had
four children-two sons. aged twenty-five
and nineteen years. and two daughters.
seventeen and eight years of age He had
been out of work for the better part of the
last three years, and the two boys and the
eldest daughter were the principal support
of the family.

lawyers are envied today, not so much az
members Of great and learned profession
upholders OF the majesty and justice of the
law. as because many of them make a great
deal of money from their practice They
know. too. that they are ranked by fellow
lawyers largely In proportion to their ability
to get big fees. 1t Is well known that some
of the men who get enormous fees and be-
come milionaires are not great lawyers at
all. and have nothing like the legal ability
of others who are not paid quarter of
their fees. What Is his practice worth?
seems to be the question by which to meas
ure lawyers standing in the minds of
most people,.
PHYSICIANS and surgeons are measured in
much the same way. Haw oftensWe hear
It said. Why. that physician has a prac-
tice OF $4,000 a year" Sometimes the sum

usefulness! OF course. In sense, getting
enormous fees Is some proof of his ability:
but it is not the best evidence of a mans
real service to the world.
Many authors today do not seem to think
so much of putting Immortality into their
compositions-of writing books which shall
live through all time-as Of earning the
largest amount of money possible with their
pens. Few modern writer's would spend
years upon a tiny bit of composition. or ex-
change their lives for a few immortal verses
or a single book that the world would not
let die.

CLASH OVER FEVER CURE.
st. Paul (Minn.) Doctor Antagonized
bv Health officials.

The fight over DR.. Leach's treatment OF
yellow fever with arsenic Is waxing warm.
DR.. White. surgeon In command OF the
federal hospital cases, has animated that
Dr. Leach is doing more to impede the cam
paign than any other one factor He says
the man who is dosed with arsenious pills
Is not going to screen his cistern and SAM
tate his premises, because il he believes In
the Leach theory it Is entirely unnecessary
to go to that expense and trouble There
fore the marine hospital service wants none
of DR.. Leach and his arsenicacid pills.
However, it is reported that about l0O,oOp
people are taking them.
When asked for an expression on the
press boycott placed upon him DIR. Leach
said:
4 have nothing to say. I'm thinking
whole heap-sawing wood and saying moth
ing. My case is now in the hands OF COM.
mittee of New Orleans citizens. / will
cheerfuiy abide by what they say. If their
verdict shall be that l cannot carry on this
experiment here. and that l shall go back
to st. Paul. I'll go. If they shall declare
that man taking these pills will not
screen his cisterns and help the marine hos
pital service, then I'll bow in submission
DR.. Leach contends that arsenic acid.
given in very small! doses, is an absolute
specific against yellow fever and will rem
der the person so treated immune. He came
to New Orleans especially for the purpose
of demonstrating with himself as the SUBJ
ject the efficiency of the treatment. His
method is to administer two tablets, each
containing e-hundredth of grain,
and properly prepared, a day. In two
weeks the subject is thoroughly arsenized,
and can bid defiance to the mosquito in
fected with the yellow fever germ. After
two weeks one tablet a day is taken
DR.. Leach says by means of his treat
ment yellow fever can be stamped out in a
few weeks. He asserts that he demon
strated the success of the cure and sub
mitted 1t to the United States Senate in
1898. Two years later he found that he had
been forestalled by Brazilian doctors. who
had already proved the theory.
Arsenzation Is not only a preventive for
yellow fever according to DR.. Leach. but
Is also preventive of Asiatic cholera.
While. OF course, no two human beings
are alfke. and therefore the trea tment must
be modified according to the Individual ne.
culartties. DR.. Leach says he has found
that the arsenious acid tablets prepared in
the proper way do no harm to any one re

duction in the dose, and after the first two
weeks only one tablet day Is taken

NAMES scALLoP FISHERS.
A New Industry There, but It's Proved
Profitable One.

Baf Harbor Cor New York Sun.
A new industry for the fishermen of the
Maine coast is that of catching scallops
1t has already proved prof table, and hun
dreds of men are engaged in the work.
They drag with uye nets the bottoms of
the bays and harbors and take out thou
sands of gallons Of these shell fish. The
fishermen about Bluehill and Frenchman s
bays are all at 1t. Scallops were discovered
in the latter bay only last spring.
The scallops live in deep or shoal water to
suit their taste. and, in sense. are migra-
tory. They are found in shoal water dur
Ing the summer and in the winter they live
in deep water. In the summer they cling to
soft bottoms, and in the winter prefer san
dy places. They are often seen in huge
clusters and sometimes found piled up on
one another several tiers deep
Great beds of them have been discovered
IN Bluehill and other bays ten feet in depth
Near Bartlett's Island last winter Ernest
Moore of Bass Harbor and his companion
ran their boat upon what they supposed
to be a ledge. 1t proved to be scallop bed
Of great size and density. The scallops
were piled up in wind rows and cocks just
as though some farmer fisherman had been
there and stacked them up with pitchfork
The men made a small fortune In the next
few days. They caught barrels and barrels
Of scallops for which they found ready
market.
In the winter scallops bring the fishermen
in Boston and New York about $3.50 per
gallon. A hundred scallops will yield
gallon of sWeatmeats. The fishermen last
winter, in some instances, made as high as
$50 In single day. and an average days
catch ranged from $40 upward. They retail
here now for 20 cents a gallon.
The fishermen in dragging for scalIops
use boats thirty-five or forty feet long,
which propelled by sail and naphtha
power. A big fleet of these auxiliaries has
been operating the west side of Mount
Desert Island for several winters with
marked success. The coming fall will see
a still itrger fleet in Frenchmans bay, since
there. There is no fishing there now for
the scallops are not go good in the summer,
end sell at low price.
The scallop boat has power and derrick.
A large. strong net with five or six-foot
iron plate at it's mouth. attached to 100
fat homs of rope Is the equipment for scrap
ing the fish from their deep sea beds. When
the net is full the load is drawn into the
boat by small windlass run by a naphtha
engine of several horse power.
1t is the practice of lobstermen on the
Maine coast to build huge pounds and when
Holsters are plentiful and cheap in the sum-
mer to put them in these pounds and keep
them until the following winter.
The scallop fishermen believe that they
can reap a harvest in the same way by
catching up scallops in summer and keep
Ing them in pounds or cars until the price
of scallop meat goes up. Scallops will live
and thrive in car well as Holsters.
The experiment has been tried with good
results.
