REED MEMORIAL.
Interest Revived by Prof. Kelly's
Book.

Interest in the Walter Reed memorial
fund has been revived by the book enti-
tied Walter Reed and Yellow Fever"
which Prof. Howard A. Kelly of Johns
Hopkins University has just published.
Surg. Gen. OReilly of the army medical
department and other prominent army and
navy surgeons, as well as scientists
throughout the United States and In many
foreign countries, have interested them
selves In the movement to provide fund
for the support Of Mrs. Reed and her chill
dren. which shall eventually be used in
erecting a memorial to the distinguished
physician who demonstrated that mosqui-
toes are responsible for the spread Of yell
low fever. The purpose of the originators
OF this movement was to raise $25 900. OF
this amount only 81. 1000 has been subscrib-
ed. but 1t Is hoped that the book Of Prof
Kelly will revive interest in Maj. Reed and
his achievements and make it possible to
complete the fund.

 At the trial of her son, Mrs. England exhibited her arms. bruised and diseolored Young enaeavored to show extenuating circumstances hv alleging that hiS mother is eccentric and mentally unbalanced. Jus tice Gildea, however could see no cxtenuating circumstances in the allegations made bY the man, but took the matter under advisement till Saturday, when he fined the accused one hundred dollars.
 Tuesday evening Attorney NJ. A. 0Connor brought the matter before Judge Doan through an application for writ of habeas corpus, Young having been placed under bonds pending the payment. of the fine. As the man was not in custody at the time the writ was applied for no action could be taken on the application, though it was shown that the case. the charge being aggravated assault, was beyond the jurisdiction of the justice court Young, however, was released, but will probably be brought before the grand jury on the charge of aggravated assault.
