HERMAN PUZZLE
TO THE DOCTORS
Scales Like Those Of a Huge Fish
Cover His Chest, Arms
and Legs.

Philadelphia, Feb. 2s.-With scales
as large as those of a drumfsh cover
ing his chest, and his arms and legs
overgrown with tiny scales of the same
fshy hue and regularity, cabman was
admitted for treatment to the Jefferson
hospital here today. The physicians in
the hospital are amazed at the man g
condition, and medical experts have
filed requests to be permitted to ex-
anime the patient.
The cabman walked into the hospital
and asked for the skin clinic. A young
surgeon told the man he would have
to make known his mission. Without
a word the cabby barred his chest and
revealed the scales, large and bright,
and lying in close layers exactly like
those on a fish. The surgeon drew back
in astonishment.
"Good heavens" he exclaimed.

"Hardly that,' said the cabman Ia
conically, "but I'm pretty fshy,
DR.. Stout, the head skin physician
in the hospital, looked over the man
and said he had well-defned case of
ichthyosis.
en- authentic cases of this disease in
the United States" said the doctor,
"and I feel sure the cabman has the
most remarkable case on record. His
body and arms and legs. are completely
covered with scales, and I fear he will
never be cured.
"There are two kinds of ichthyosis-
ichthyosis simplex and ichthyosis hys-
trix,' continued DR.. Stout. "The cab
man is suffering from ichthyosis sim
pick. The hystrix form Is character
lied by extreme roughness of the skin,
and there have been instances in which
the cuticle was as lumpy as a nutmeg
crater. The disease develops as early
as early as two years after birth and
increases gradually until maturity.''
81 have had this scale disease all my
life,' said the cabman. "When I was
10 years old my mother refused large
sums weekly to exhibit me in a mu-
scum. Since that time repeated offers
have been made by museum managers,
but not one has been accepted. I am
in good health, and prefer the small
wage earned in cab driving rather than
the hundreds Of dollars weekly held out
for my exhibition as a freak. I am
never in pain, except when, in taking
of garment, it catches on scale and
pulls it off, -
the hospital who became fearful Of
contracting the disease that 1t was not
contagious, and the cabman now is
undergoing treatment. He knows the
doctors do not entertain hope Of a
cure, but with them he is taking the
chance OF the unexpected happening.

the building, the ground floor being
used by the Sunday school, was crowded
with an audience Of upwards of 800 per-

The congregation was waiting in 81

Pastor Jacobs was standing at the altar
waiting the summons to meet the funer-
al procession at the door, when a splint-
instant half Of the auditorium nearest
the door collapsed, carrying down more
than a hundred persons, who were
crushed in the wreckage of the flooring
and pews.
A great volume Of dust for few mo-
ments hid the victims. The remainder

! How It Happened.
Sidney L. Painter, at whose funeral
the congregation had gathered, was the
organist Of the chur ch. About $50
seats in the front Of the church had
! been reserved for the mourners, who
were to accompany the body. This led
to the massing of the congregation in
one place and a consequent coneen as
beams. whic h is believed to have been
the immediate cause of the collapse.
j After examining the bodies Coroner
Flaherty pronounced death in nearly
every case to have resulted from suffo-
cation caused by the victims being
several feet deep. The coroner said
that the church was condemned as un-
safe several years ago and that he in.
tended to prosecute a thoro inquiry to
fix the responsibility for the disaster.
According to Pastor Jacobs, money
had been raised for a new church, the

Re-establish Polygamy.

Mr.. Kearns charge that every apostle
OF the church is. in a large part re-
sponsible for this condition and that
it is quite evident the church monarchy
is trying to re-establish the rule Of the
poIygamous class over. the mass Of the
Mormon people. He charged that not
more than three or four Of. the quo
rum Of apostles have refrained from
practlclng Polygamy, and that Especial
case why man in this class has not
entered into such relations
f.. The Church Monarchy.
The deductions of Mr.. Kearns con-
corning the church monarchy were
that it "pledged the country that
there would be no more violations Of
law and no more defiance Of the senti-
ment Of the United States regarding
polygamy and the plural marriage rela-
ton, and pledged. the United States
its subjects further in secular affairs. -
He said:
Every member is responsible for the
system Of governments and for the acts
Of the monarch. That monarchy sets up g
regal social order within this republic;
monopolizes the business of one COM
monwealth and is rapidly reaching into
others; takes practically all Of the surplus
product Of the toll of its subjects for its
own purpose, and makes no account to
any one on earth Of it's immense secret
fund; rules all politics in Utah and is
rapidly extending its dominion into other
states and territories, and permits its ia
vorites to enter into polygamy and to
maintain polygamous relations; and pro-
tects them from prosecution by its politi-
cal power.
After charging that the pledges have
been violated by the church, Mr..
Kearns said:
cit is the duty Of the senate Of the
United States to serve notice on this
church monarchy that it must live with
in the laws; that the nation is supreme;
that the Institutions of this country
must prevail thruout the land; and that
the compact on which statehood is
granted must be preserved inviolate. -

need for due caution before final &C
