SNAKE BITE CURES CANCER.
New York Woman, Bitten by Rattle
snake. is Restored to Health.


Port Jarvis, N. Y, Aug. S.-A re-
markable cure of cancer has been ef-
fected on Mrs. Wilhelmina Lodwig,
farmers wife.
Mrs. Lodwig has suffered from a
cancer on the left leg just above the
knee for a long time.
While out picking huckleberries
two weeks ago she was bitten on the
ankle, by rattlesnakes. Her nephew,
Karl Lodwig, came to her assistance
and killed three rattlesnakes.
The woman's leg had swelled to an
enormous size, but the swelling did
not go above the cancer.
The cancer, which had always had
the appearance of ink, fringed with
red, turned into a running sore.
1t remained in this condition for
four days. On the fourth day the dis
charge stopped and proud flesh began
\ to make its appearance. The snake
: poison had worked all through the
cancer, the swelling disappeared, and
the heretofore ugly looking cancer be
gan to heal and turned to a healthy
flesh color.
Last Thursday the wound began tC
heal and yesterday Mrs. Lodwig was
in town, almost cured.

SURE OF SUCCESS THIS TIME.
Peary Confident of Getting View of the
North Pole,

New York, Aug. S.-"Unless old
Mother Nature plays new trump
card this time" said Commander
Robert E. Peary in his quarters at the
Grand Union hotel today, 81 will GER
tainly reach the pole this time, assum-
ing l retain my strength and health.
My equipment will be the same as on
the last trip, but l will profit by the
lessons of that last trip.
Last time we would have reached
the pole but for the easterly ice drifts.
This time we shall go farther west by
land, leaving it at Cape Columbia, and
instead of heading directly north we
will head northwest, thus getting the
benefit of the eastern drift Of the ice
of which nothing was known until our
last expedition.
Another change is that l will have
stronger advance party than on the
last trip, so that when we get ready
for the final dash there will be sledges
and supplies enough. Last time there
was not enough to load five sledges.'

KENTUCKY EDITOR RETREATS.
BIundering Hotel Clerk Assigns Him
to Bed With CORPSE,

Junction City KY, Aug. S.-Mai
James Morton, editor of the Hard l.
man Free Press, unwittinsly went to
bed with a corpse in Junction City
last night He had missed his train
and going into the hotel asked for a
room. The clerk said the house was
crowded, but assigned the editor to a
room with another man. BY mistake
the clerk sent him irto the wong
room and the editor quietly disrobed
and got into bed.
Soon a young nan and a woman
came in and took seats near an open
window. The major thought the pro
cedure strange, but said nothing. Lis.
tening to what they said, he heard a
remark about sitting up with the dead.
Then he remembered that his bed
mate had not moved and reaching over
touched his hand.
With a yell the major jumped up
with a sheet over him and rushed out
of the room. Believing that the corpse
had come to life the two watchers
broke open another door and all met
in the Office of the hotel for explana
tons.

Havana, Aug. S.-The negroes in tn
province Ct Pinar del Rio are ors triz-
ing an Independent party, with the
pose of uplifting the black n n
and placing him on lane VIII e he
may receive greater r cognition and
public offices. The best of feelings do
not at present exist between whites
and blacks, and the gCvernm lent Off
Gals fear that with the negroes orga-

menace to peace.
The negro politician, Batrell Ovoido,
is a prime mover in the agitation. He

island and what small need Of pa
tronage has been given them. Copies
of the memorial have been sent to

Statement.
New York, Aug S.-TrafIic manag-
ers representing a large number of
important manufacturing and jobbing
ccncerps controlling annually freight
shipments 9ggr eating millions of
tons, after several meetings here, is
SUI the following statement regard
ing their discussions:
MATTERS pertaining to inters ate
commerce law and rulings of the com
mission, as affecting shippers, were
discussed. The questions consider !
are of great importance to shippers
generally, and, after discussion the
meeting was adjourned to a futr e
da >, subject to call. There was a
disposition evinced to bring about a
close association of shipping interests
with the clrriers and to determine
what suggestion might be offered to
better conditions and facilitate the
handling of traffic"
The traffic managers object prime
pally, it is understood, to the ruling
having to do with the routing OF
freight, claiming that the latest
change does not cure the evil, mas
much as a railway company under the
authority which the ruling gives
would reserve the right to route, thus
confiscating from the owner of the
property the right to get out Of his
freight that which benefits him.

gfnners In the study OF socialism. II
will be found Of great beneft to those
who wish to discuss socialism intelli-
gently, either as friend or enemy.
Marx was broad and fair minded, a
constant student Of the masters of So
GEOLOGY and economics, such as Adam
Smith. David Ricardo and John Stuart
Mill He accepted the principles OF po-
litical economy laid down by them and
applied them to the new and revolu-
tionary facts involved in the deveI-
opment of machine production. which
has separated the laborer from the
ownership and control OF his tools and
materials. This Is not collection Of
generalities. but by pages on pages,
and chapters on chapters. is crowded
with accurate details of conditions as
they are today He points out the
faults in the social and political sys-
TENS and tells why, in the course OF
time. they must spell disaster.
Realizing that his ill health would
preclude all possibility of completing
the tremendous work he had laid out
for himself. he confided his plans to his
intimate friend, Frederick Engels. who
continued the task and published the
second and third volumes, The Process
of Capitalist Circulation" and Capital
ist Process of Production as a Whole
Then he, too, died. leaving the task
to be taken up by Karl Kautsky.
Kautsky, however, found that the

"Call of the Blood" Not Hichens
at His Best

The same conscientious study that
preceded The Garden of Allah" went
into the preparation Of Robert Hichens
latest novel, THE Call of the Blood"
For the atmosphere and color of his
album of rarely beautiful and effective
desert pictures Hichens lived long in
the wide, hot silences of the Sahara;
for this later story he spent some
months in Sicily, living the life Of its
people. And yet recently the author
met in an italian railway car q man
who. having no suspicion of Kitchens
identity, spoke Of his Sicilian novel with
admiration, but added: And you know
this Hichens never sees these places he
writes about He just stays at home
and imagines 1t all.
There can be no question about the
place OF The Call of the Blood" among
best sellers" but best selling, Is not
dependent wholly or at all on actual
literary worth. This belongs to the
literature OF atavism. The hero, De-
larey, is English, with a. Sicilian strain.
The story of his downfall is weak and
so Ill put together that one feels, the
situation TO have been created merely
to meet the exigencies of the story
and this not because Englishmen with
Siciiian blood should or should not drop
back into original conditions when ex-
posed suddenly to Siciiian environment.
but because of Delareys almost pusil-
Luminous character all through the story
before the Sicilian days. Nothing much
was to have been expected OF his kind
of a man under any conditions And
then the girl, Miss Lester" was a
