The story Of Midshipman Charles
g. Hunter is peculiar and in some
respects a sad one. The affair OF
honor into which he was drawn and
which resulted in his killing Lbs man,
followed him all his days, like an
evil nemesis, and he died with the
words on his lips: "dy life has been
embittered, and all my happiness

lying dead on the bank Of that little
creek in Delawafe-kiIIed by my PTS

The duel grew out of trivial In

each other on the field of honor were
not the original principals in the az
fair. Henry Wharton Griffith and R.
Dillon Drake, two society men of
Philadelphia, in company with some
friends sauntered into a billiard par
lor at Third and Chestnut streets on
the afternoon Of Friday, February II,
1880, and Drake, angered by an i'm
piled fmputatfon upon his skill with
the cue, struck Griffith in the face.
Before friends could interfere Drake
had severely whipped his companion.

I have examined over 1900 cases of
nervous disease and insanity where
the cause of the malady was given BY
their friends as the cigarette habit.
In not one case have reason to be-
heve that tobacco had anything to do
with the causation of the disease, Tho
patients were all young men, and some
OF them insane without doubt. Some
of them smoked cigarettes to excess,
but their insanity was the cause of the
excess; the excess was not the cause Of
the insanity.
