CHARGE HELD ABSURD
COURT DIsMIsSEs CASE OF RAY
DAVIS, CHARGED WITH SET
TING FIRE TO BARN.

The charge against Ray Davis of set
227 Oak street Sc, was dismissed yes
terday afternoon by Judge C. L. Smith
in the municipal court.
The only testimony against Davis
was that of two small girls, who said
they saw Davis running from the barn
just before the fire broke out. They
were not sure Of the details, however
when they were cross-examined, and
most Of their testimony was discred.
tied by the court. 5e
Davis mother testified that her son
was not out of the house on the night
of the fire, but stayed home with her
because she was afraid of the storm
II. Davis, brother of the defendant
said he was in his bicycle shop when
the fire broke out and saw Leon GILES
by, son Of the complainant, standing by
the side Of the barn. The Davis Shop
is but two feet from Gillesby's barn
and if the barn was burned, his shop
was also in great danger. Chiefly or
this account Judge Smith took little
faith in the accusations. He said that
it was absurd to suppose that Davis
would fire a building which would, il
all probability, destroy his brothers
shop, which was not fully insured.
Several witnesses testified to the
good character of the defendant, anc
the case probably will not be revived

TO DIAGNOSE TYPHOID
City archaeological Department to
Test Methods.

Health Commissioner P. M. Hall an
nounces that the health department is
prepared to make. tests for diagnosing
typhoid fever. These will be made by
DR.. J. Frank Corbett, city bacteriolog-
ist at the College Of Physicians and
Surgeons, Fifth street and Seventh ave-
nue. S, and all tests will be free. - The
Vidal blood test and the examination
(of urine) for the Diazo reaction, will
be employed. The Vidal test was first
introduced here in 1897, but has not
been generally employed, as it is
not conclusive in determining the pres
ence Of typhoid fever. The Diazo
method has been employed by a. few
physicians. '.
Dr.. Hall finds that the authorities
agree that the two examinations taken
together are practically infallible as an
early diagnosis of typhoid. On this
account he believes that the opportunity
given by the city archaeological de.
partment will prove of much value ia
physicians in aiding them to determine
the nature of suspected cases Of the
disease.
When the health department. g new
quarters are completed the bacterio
logical and chemical laboratories which
are now in private hands, will be unde,
the exclusive control of the department
which will then be in a better position
than ever to assist physicians.

Divorce in Rurmah.

There is something to be said for
Burmah. If the Burmese husband and
the Burmese wife come to the conclu-
sion that thev have injudiciously in
creased the marriage rate their pro-
cedure is simple and direct. The wife
does not go to her solicitor, but to the
tallow chandler. From him she OBJ
tains two little candles. These she
brings home, and she and her husband
sit down on the floor, placing the can
dies between them. One candle rep
resents the husband, one the wife.
They are lighted at the same moment,
and the owner of the one which goes
out first leaves the house, taking only
his or her clothes, while the owner of
the more enduring candle remains, also
the owner of the house and all that
therein is. Thus divorce becomes
simple and charming. 1t will be OBJ.
