t.s TROUBLE WAS INTERNAL.
Indian Chief Had Peculiar ideas About
Hydrophobia.

Mayor stoy of Atlantic City was
describing the cosmopolitan throngs
that visit his famous and gay resort.
Every nationality conc here, he
said. Greeks, Turks. Hindoos, Chi
nese. Moors-they all come.
Il was talking the other day to one
of the physicians of the Pasteur In
stitute-the hospital, you know, for
the prevention and cure of hydropho-
bia. The Pasteur Institute reminded
me of Atlantic City. its visitors seemed
to be of such diversified character.
The physician told me about an In
dian chief who had come to him for
treatment last year.
My name, said the chief, IS War
Eagle. Please take me in hand. /

One urned 1se<1.a Plate.

Crutehf1eld made the ninth member
Of the party, and insisted on turning
down an empty plate.
Whether this was tribute to his
wife Or some visitor who did not arrive
is not known.
While the reveIry was at it's height
Mrs. Crutchfe1d was moaning on her
couch in the hospital. She will soon
be out now, crippled for life. Crutch-
field was asked Il he had not intended
to cripple her in exactly the way he
did.
No" said he, .tT didn't. never said
that, but / do know friend who has
lost both his legs. You just call up
the hospital where they took him and
see if she didn't go there and nurse
him when he was hurt
And that is where this case of latter
day revenge stands now. There will
be two trials-a criminal one for felon.
ious assault and another for divorce.
Much that will startle will be brought
out then.
But, no matter who wins or loses,
all Atlanta is saying, What ven

Intermarriane and Cancer.

So little is really known of the mys-
teries Of cancer that the merest scraps
of information with regard to It ought
not to be neglected. At the village Of
Clovelly, on the North Devon (Eng-)
coast, very large percentage of
deaths is due to cancer. and the rea-
son locally given is the habit of IL.
termarriage necessarily brought about
in a place SO widely severed from the
outside world. The state Of affairs
appears to be even worse at Bucks
Mills, fishing hamlet three miles
away, where intermarriage has been
carried to such an extreme that one
surname is almost sufficient to degig-
nate the whole of the population of
the village.
