Says Coffee Causes Epilepsy.

Consul General Guenther of Frank
fort writes that the Vienna Clinical Re
view gives an account of observations
with reference to epilepsy in the medical
clinic of the late Prof. III. Nothnagel
which is worthy of attention. 1t con-
Germs case Of epilepsy in n woman
addicted to eating coffee beans, report
ed by Dr. Marbun. The most important
result of the investigation is in these
words: at must appear at least as
probable that coffee in this case was the
direct result of epilepsy, which therefore
would have to be classified as q toxic
one" 1t is noteworthy that this CORE
spends with recent observations by sew
eral other physicians. as for instance
with those of Charles Feres. who was
the first to point out that coffee was
responsible for epilepsy: also with the
clinical experiences of Prof. Norbert OF
Dorpart. This important connection be-
tween consumption of coffee and epiep-
sy, which deserves to be known every
where. serves as n warning to be eX-
tremely careful with coffee made. of
beans containing caffeine. and at any
rate children should be deprived of it
entirely, otherwise their health will be
exposed to a great danger.

MERIWETHER TRIES
TO QUIT ACADEMY.
But it is Not Believed His Last Tack
Will Be Successful in Evading
Prosecution.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Jan. 16.-Mid-
Ihipman Minor Meriwether, Jr., has
handed in his resignation from the naval
academy.
1t is said that it is not likely that 1t
will be accepted, as there are now
charges pending against him, and for
the further reason that he is under sen
tence of confinement to the academy
grounds for one year On account Of his
connection with the fight III which Mid
shipman James il. Branch received IA
tai injuries
When the trial began Meriwether' S
lawyer challenged several members of
the court The challenge was not sus-
tanned and Mr.. Monroe challenged
Lieut.. Commander T. NJ. Mutton. The
court also refused te sustain his chal-
lenge. Mr. Monroe then challenged
Prof. p II. Alger, and Commander
Valentine :. Nelson, both being over
euled.
The accused now entered n plea to the
jurisdiction of the court on the ground
that the specifications did not state that
the midshipmen alleged to be hazed were
new cadets of the fourth class aud also
that the month of September was pc
riod of limitations
The court overruled the plea, where
upon Mr.. Monroe filed demurrer TO the
Specifications which was overruled.

Herr Won Radowitz in the course of n

conciliatory views. He said "All allu-

What France Expects.
On September % last, NJ. Rouvier for
France and Prince Radolin for Germany
reached an agreement on the exact pro-
gramme of the conference. This pro-
gramme is quite short. rs it was part of
Rouvier's skillful diplomacy to bring the
conference within the closest possible
limits. The programme agreed upon was
aS follows:
The two governments are in accord in
proposing to the Sultan the following:
Organization, by international accord Of
the police, except on the Algerian frontier
Surveillance and repression OF contraband
arms, except along the Algerian front er.
Financial reforms. with the creation Of
n state bank, with the privileges Of Issuing
currency.
sturdy Of the customs, and new means
OF raising revenues.
The agreement contains some other
minor features. France throughout the
controversy and up to the opening of
the conference has maintained that she
had a special or privileged position in
Morocco. The issues are, therefore.
comparatively simple: First shall
France be charged with the necessary
reforms for Morocco; and, second. the
detailed consideration of these various
reforms relating to finances, police, Gus
toms and contraband.

COAL MINERS ARE IMMUNE.
No Tubercular Infection Among Men
Who Work in Fuel Pits.

A sensation has been created in Du-
uuoin, ILL.,, by the publication of COM
munication from DR.. NJ. G. Carr OF that
place. He finds the coal miner practical
" immune from tuberculosis. The COM
munication is as follows:
After an experience Of twenty-five years
and during this time having under my oo-
servation from 100 to 1900 coal miners, and
after careful inquiry among the oldest min
ers l have been forced to the conclusion
that bituminous coal miners, while actively
engaged In their occupation are practically
immune from tubercuar infection.
About seven years ago / commenced the
treatment of whooplng cough by sending
the patient down In the mines Immediately
after the miners had fred a shot: having
the patient inhale the gas and powder
smoke for one and one-half to two hours
at time I found that one or two sit
tings was sufficient to effect cure In
from four to six days, and without other
medicine.
This was followed up until I have on
my records from IS to 100 cases, ranging
In age from months to p years. This
treatment has passed, so far as my ex-
perience goes, from the experimental stage
to the stage of confirmation. 1t is so sue
cessful and Is now so well known In this
locality, the miners take their children SO
affected into the mines, without consulting
= physician, and always with the happiest
fpSultS.
