We print in this connection an
extract from the centennial edition of
the University Of Maryland a sketch
Of DIR. w. G. Houseal, of Newberry.
There are two other practicing ply
sicians in this county who gradual
ed from this University in the class
of DR.. Houseal, DR.. j. M. Kibler, of
Newberry, and Dr. Jno. M. Sease, of
Little Mountain. This book, also
contains a sketch of DR.. Eli Geddings,
who was a native of Newberry dis
trict, and one Of the first graduates
OF the Medical College of South Car
olina. In 1881 he was elected to the
chair of anatomy and physiology in
the University of Maryland. This
publication, it seems to us, is a fit
ting celebration of the centennial Of
the founding of the University Of
Maryland, and should be a valuable
and interesting book for the gradu-
ates Of this University. We regret
that we do not find sketches in it of
DrS. Kibler and Sease.

during twenty years of his profession
al career in that city and its vicinity
attained standing of enviable prom
inence in medical circles, and enjoys
an extended acquaintance throughout

His private practice is large, hence

his state and county medical societies,
and as early as 1895, at the annual
meeting OF the South Carolina Medi-
cal Association, he read paper on
Eiood Serum Therapy and Antitox-
ins, III which he urged the general
employment of antitoxin in the treat
ment of diphtheria and made predic-

therapeutics, which have since been

curious Features Of the Life of the
New Zealand Natives.

Many traditions Of the Maoris of
New Zealand indicate true refinement
OF feeling. That of Niwareka, or
Great Delight, is one of these, and
represents a gentle Maori maiden,
beautiful and modest, who, though
deeply loving her bridegroom, vet
shndders at the barbarity of his peo-
pie, and at his delight in bloodshcd
and cruelty. Unable to bear the
sights and sound around her, she
passes from his embrace and seeks
the shadows Of another world Only
through great suffering and sacri-
flee does her young husband, unable
to bear his solitary lot, redeem her
from the shades. This beautiful le-

In all respects DR.. Houseal has
been progressive and successful
practitioner Of medicine, and by his
high character, attainments and achie-
we'd results has honored the diploma
OF his old alma mater, and he is held
IN high esteem both by his associates
fdicine and the people in the city
IN which he has always lived. His
nome is seat Of comfort and refin-
ed hospitality.

educated man of high Christian char
acter. he was sheriff of Newberrv

course at college in 1881, he was with
out any means to acquire a medical

lima (now part of Greenwood coun-
ty), III lSS1-S2. In 19S2-83-S4 he
was assistant postmaster at Newber-
ry, South Carolina. BY perseverance,
diligence and economy he saved suf-
ficient funds to pay for his medical
education; he matriculated in 1884 at
the University Of Maryland School Of
Medicine and graduated with the de-
gree of M. ID. in 1856. He also took
special work under Dr.. Jones, resi-
dent physiciaon at Bayvicw Hospital,
Baltimore. In 1898 he was post

tai Medical College, now the medical
department of New York University
