Margaret McCune, proprietor of a
boarding house here died here from
remarkable disease that has greatly
puzzled the local physicians. For six
weeks prior to the time of her death,
the skin over her entire body was as
hard as marble and her muscles became
immovable. The disease is termed
scledorema. The ossifcation of the skin
clogged up the pores so that the perspir-
alton was. unable to pass through and
finally burst and caused ulcers.

Tnenectiveness Of Hepburn Law.

Tneffectiyeness of Hepburn Law.
The ineffectiveness of that portion
of the Hepburn law which forbids
carriers to transport property owned
by them and not intended for their
own use is apparent in the action OF
the Buffalo. Rochester & Pittsburg in
disposing Of its holdings of stock Of
the Buffalo. Rochester & Pittsburg
Coal & Iron company This stock is
traded for stock in the Mahoning IN
vestfnept company, which is then dis
tributed prorata among the sharehoid-
ers of the railway company. Thus the
stocks of the coal company and of the
railway company are placed in the
hands of the same persons, the plan
being similar to that which was fol-
lowed in distributing the stocks Of the
Great Northern. Northern Pacific and
Burlington when the Northern Sc
cufft1es company was declared unlaW-
full, and the result of which. the COM
mon ownership of these roads, the in
terstate commerce commission. ac-
cording to reports, is about to investi-
gate Thus the government is brought
squarely to face the. problem, which
will have to be decided some day,
whether it is advisable and possible to
prohibit an individual from owning at
the same time shares of a railway
company and of some other enterprise
or railway company doing business or
competing with the first company.
