Met Death by Drowning.

A sad case of accidental drowning
occurred at Rowland's mill pond,
near town, Friday afternoon. Mr..
Cornelius Allen, an employe of the
Harriet Cotton Mills, was in bathing
with a number of other persons. He
waded out some distance and it is
supposed that he stepped in a hole
and got beyond his depth. At any
rate he got in water over his head
and being unable to swim he drowned
before assistance could reach him.
The body was in the water about
three hours before it was recovered.
1t was brought to town and taken
to Hardee's undertaking rooms
where it was embalmed and prepared
for burial
The deceased was about % years
old and leaves a wife and one child.

ORIGIN OF CANCER.

Encouraging Progress I'm Field OF
Scientific Research.
As a result Of experiments with mice
the superintendent Of the Imperial Can
Ger Research fund laboratory at Lon
don announced recently at a meeting
Of the subscribers to the fund that the
prospects of discovering the origin OF
cancer were hopeful. Experts are now
able to reproduce in mice all the fea-
lures Of spontaneous cancer and to pro-
tect healthy mice from the conse-
Quences by incubation.
Out Of 100 mice inOculated to produce
the disease, ninety. developed tumors,
but in the protected animals no tumors
occurred. 1t has also been found that
the body fluids Of protected mice In
jected into mice with experimental can
Ger retarded the growth Of well estab-
lished tumors. The superintendent
pointed out that the experiments must
be carried further before it can be as
certained whether they will have a
bearing on the treatment of the disease
In mankind.

Col. Darlington Selected for Posi-.

WELL KNOWN IN MILITARY SERVICE
ENTERED THE ARMY IN 1872 AND
WILL SERVE II YEARS
YET.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 49,
Col. E. A. Darlington, who will be the
next Inspector general of the United
States army, is member Of the gen.
eral staff, who attains his higher place
on the retirement, at his own request,
on account Of i'll health, of General G..
H. Burton, New York man, for many
years on duty at Governors Island.
Col. Darlington is the brother in law
of General ]. Franklin Bell, chief of
staff, and is we'll known in the military
service. He entered the army in 1872
as a cadet at the military academy
He will have a long time to serve, as
and will be the youngest of the bril-
gadiers of the staff corps, except Gen.
CrOzier chief of ordinance. The change
in the head of the inspector general
department revives the gossip concern
ing the abolition of that corps, a sub
ject which has been discussed at var
ions times in the army and before
congress. Each time it has been sug-
gested, the inspectors general have rail-
lied to defeat the proposition, but with
the decrease of the permanent person.
mel of the corps by the detail of line
officers to duty as inspectors general,
there are naturally fewer friends to
muster to the support of the depart
ment.
Col. Darlington is an officer of dis
tinguished service and of influence,
and, backed as he is by such officers
as General Bell and possessing the
confidence of the secretary of war, it
is probable that any attempt to merge
Me inspector generals department
with another staff corps will fail. 1t
has been held that the army inspec-
ton could be done by officers detailed
specially for that purpose, and that
the work could be conducted uno

Sen Winter For Lunacy.

Two eminent French experimenters,
says the Grand Magazine, assure US
that sea water will cure or at least
alleviate many cases Of lunacy. The
explanation Is: MAN, like all other
animals. descends from a marine ances-
tor. To place the human organism
modified by disease In it's original sur
roundings should, therefore, prove adj
vantageOus to it." Starting from these
premises. the French doctors have
given simultaneous injections Of sea
water to a number of insane persons
with, they declare, the most beneficial
results.
A great number of other dis
eases-consumption. diabetes and stom-
ach disorders-have also been treated
successfully by internal doses of sea
water, not only in France, but also
In Sweden.

Tom managed to obtain some school
ing. When he could not attend the
public schools his father and mother
tutored him. He cared little for Ian
guages and literary studies, but shone
in mathematics, finishing the entire
mathematical course up to calculus.
In January, 1869, when nearly fif-
teen, the boy obtained job in a roll
ing mill. AS an evidence Of the pow
erty of his family the manner Of his
gaining that situation is pathetically
illustrative. 1t was his mother who
solicited the place, and, having nothing
to wear upon her head but knit hood,
the relic Of more aff1uent times, she
waited for a cold day, on which she
could don this and venture forth in
search of employment for her son.
Started a Reform Early In Life.
The boy did not stay long in the roll,
ing mill. B. Du Pont of the famous
Delaware Du Points was then running
little horse car street railway in
Louisville. and on this young johnson
was given uuiuOE pidCc. his Uuly
was to take the nickels from the con-
ductorless cars and transfer them to
the safe. 1t is told Of him that he
found this done in slipshod manner
and started reform right there 1t is
also said that he picked up the old
scrap iron about the place and put it
into barrel for future use. These
stories may be pipe dreams, but GER
tain it is that Tom L. did something,
as Is his wont, to gain the confidence
OF his employer, and as a result he
was rapidly advanced until he was
secretary Of the company. When his
father became chief of police Of Louis

Discovery of the Compass.

Professor G. Hellman has pointed
out that, independently Of Columbus
finding, the magnetic declinatiOn must
have been known on the continent from
the construction of many pocket sun
dials provided with magnetic needles
for adjusting the instruments to the
astronomical meridian, and showing
the declinatiOn by line on the floor
of the compass box. Three such sun
dials have been discovered antedating
Christopher Columbus, one having been
constructed in 1451. The magnetic
variation must have been known, ap-
parently, before the dawn Of the fif.

self. It likewise stands for him and he
for it. He was christened that way.
He belongs to the Kentucky JOhnsons,
who can boast Of one vice president Of
the United States besides congress
men, generals, colonies and judges
galore. The Johnsons are related to
nearly every Kentucky family of prom
inence and to some in other southern
states. They have been in the country
nearly 200 years, quite long enough to
make good Americans of them. Tom
Loftin Johnson got his second name
from his mothers people, who also be-
longed to the quality" 1t is an item
worthy of note that Johnson's father
was a pupil of James G. Blaine in
Kentucky military academy, and at
the same time his mother was stu
dent under Harriet StanwOod, who
afterward became Mrs. Blaine.
First Appearance as MOnop0list.
Before the war the elder johnson
had winter home in Arkansas, where
he owned a hundred slaves. When the
conflict came on he enlisted on the
Confederate side, became colonel
and served as staff officer for Generals
Breckenridge and Early. At the close
Of the conflict thefamily found them
selves stranded in Staunton, Va, with
out a penny. 1t was right here that
Tom first showed up as mOnopolist.
Obtaining a ''stand in" with the con-
ductOr Of the only train that ran into
Staunton, Tom, then aged eleven, got
exclusive control of the daily paper
business. He at once put up prices to
Is cents for each paper and 25 cents
for picture papers. In five months he
had cleaned up nearly 500, with which
he took the family back to Louisville.

the drest poverty for several years,

This new fuel is being manufactured

of chemicals and fibrOus matter and
weighs only half as much as coal. The
new fuel will be made in different
sized mOlds. Tests made with the
new fuel show that it does not clinker

and burns freely. gives of more heat

Unique and Refreshing.
Johnson is so individual that he Is
like nobody else that ever was or is or
is to be. He is so unique he Is re-
freshing. He is in no sense freak.
He is too genuine and able for that
Your freak is usually fakir and a

many sides that a mere catalogue Of

to the street car system that were
commercially successful and are still
