TEN YEARS WITHOUT EATING.
Man Who Was Fed Through Tube in
His Side.

Man Who Was Fed Through a Tube in
His Side.
For ten years before his death on
Thursday night at Kingstown a man
named Joseph Knight had not eaten
any food.
Eleven years ago, while on board
the yacht Elba, at GOspOrt, he acct
dentally drank some detergent in mis-
take for porter, with the result that
his gullet and other internal organs
were destroyed. He was removed from
the yacht to man-o'-war in Gosport
harbor, where first aid was given him,
and afterward was placed in the hands
of able surgeons, who not only saved
his life, but also enabled him to live
for more than ten years in compare
tive comfort by means of feeding
through tube in his side leading di-
rectly to the stomach.
Wheeling about the town in a bath
chair, poor Knight was always an OBJ
ject of sympathy to residents and Wis
itors. It is remarkable that, though
unable to eat, he could always enjoy
a smoke. He was about forty years of
age at his death.

Baked His Money.

Thomas Murray recently spent an
afternoon in town attending to some
business matters, and on reaching his
home, feeling very much fatigued, he
Immediately prepared to retire. While
dis obing he placed his pocketbook,
containing several bills and two $40
gold pieces, on top Of the heating
stove in his bedroom.
There was no fire in the stove that
evening, but next morning one of the
members Of the family started a fire
pocketbook lying on top of it.
When Murray Smelled burning
leather he knew at once what had hap
pened and did some hustling to reach
for his pocketbook, which he found
had been burned through, as were
also the bills which it contained. He
lost no time in driving to the Leaven-
worth National bank, where he In
formed Edward Carroll of his loss. AS
the numbers on the bills were easily
made out, Mr. Carroll sent the bills
to Washington, where they were re-
deemed by the Treasury department

They Stand Alone.

DIR. Pierce feels that he can afford to
take the afflicted into his full confidence

ingredients are such as are endorsed and

A glance at the printed formula on
each bottle will show that no alcohol and

FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE
a Michigan Mother Preserved to Her

Pink Pills,

ANCIENT WEAPON OF INTEREST
Spanish lalberd Believed to Be Relic

of De Soto's Expedition.
A gentleman of Monroe county, Mis-
sissippi, while fishing in the Tombigee
about two miles south of Aberdeen
found in the edge of the river, partly
imbedded in the soft clay, an old
Spanish halberd.

of the wooden handle, the metal is

Up to date, something like thou.
sand Judges and secretaries OF cleo
tion have resigned their positions.
This must be a source Of profound
disgust to the grand beadle of elec.
ti6ns, who probably is at loss to
account for this extraordinary and
unprecedented detection of election
officials.
Possibly, as a means Of consolation,
he will attribute it to the cause most
popular with the congregantes: lack
ct Pr<Parati0n, pretending that these
wholesale designations are a sym
ptom of political ignorance.
It would be nothing strange if that
which is primarily due to the failure
of the electoral law and the regime,
should be made to appear as an in
durable defect of the colonists.
We do not think we are far out
of the way in believing that at the
present time there is being hatched
among the congregantes some new
plot.
They will not be able to explain
in any way other than by ihe claim
of unpreparedness for the right of
suffrage, the designations of half the
Judges and secretaries of election
named by the government.
There is, however another import
ant fact which will tax all the ingen-
nifty of our tutors to explain and
which has peculiar significance lust
at this time, when about half of the
election officials have resigned. II
IS the falling off in the number Of
registrations. This year fewer vot-
ers have registered; the political enth-
usiasm has decreased to an apprec
liable degree; the citizens indicate
their apathy toward the suffrage,
which they are beginning to view
with relative indifference.
The explanation of this phenome-
non is not, We believe, difficult to
find. Itdoes not lie where Mr.. Post
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1906-11-03

and others OF the congr egantes evi-
dently believe it does. 1t is in the
recognition Of the fact on the part of
the people that the suffrage in Pordp
Rico IS not what it pretends to be; it
IS IN the certainty that here popular
suffrage haa seriously lost its power
that It is perfectly useless to hope
tor anything that goes against the
IRON Will and wishes Of the govern
ment.
Our tutors need not waste their
time in seeking false and clever exc
uses for throwing upon the country
blame and fault which belongs else
where.
The attitude of the thousands Of
voters who have refrained from re
gistering and the action of election
officials who have not hesitated to
resign their positions and forego the
honor Of serving as subalters of the
great malabarista, are significant.
1t is not many days ago that we
analyzed the great Indifference to
the suffrage of the kind that has been
established in Porto Rico.
The regime imposed on us has
vltlated all the civil functions, and
now the deceived masses have begun
to take account of the condition of
things, even though with certain
slownesS.
There is, then, no sense in orr tu-
tors wasting their time in idle con
lectures, neither in seeking useless
defenses for a manifest fallacy,
That which is important AMI affects
us, is that the feuda1 regime establis-
he'd in the colony be changed for
one based on modern principles of
democracy, 50 that the suffrage ms
tead Of being mask to hide the.most
exotic absolutism, will be the legal
means, ample and efficient, which
the people will haveto make its needs
and desires recognized by the go
Vernment.
