at the trial who would have corroborated

Martyr to Cancer Inquiry.

Extraordinary circumstances attended
the death from cancer last week of Prof.
Macmillan SCHUYLER, of the University
of Berlin, as as a direct result of his he
roic efforts to discover the cancer germ.
His experiment in breeding cancer cul-
lures demanded that they be kept con-
tinuously at blood heat. This require
ment proved fatal to the scientist, who
ventured on the perilous method of adj
justing the tubes 10 sort of cartridge
belt around his waist in contact with
his skin. The deadly culture passed in
to the professors blood in consequence of
one of the tubes breaking and decorating
the skin. Professor SCHUYLER, who was
man in the prime of health, died three
months after from acute cancer Of the
stomach.

THERE IS an old saying that "when
Greek meets Greek then comes the tug
OF war;" but when woman meets woman
anything is liable to happen as was in
stanced in Atlanta on Saturday. On
that day Joseph NJ. Terrell transferred
the office of governor of Georgia to Hoke
Smith. Outwardly all was harmony at
the State Capitol, where Hoke Smith
was inaugurated, but there was no hsr-
m2ny at the executive mansion where
Mrs. Terrell, wife of the retiring gov
ernor, and Mrs. Smith, wife of the new
executive, came in contact. Mrs.
Smith had planned a reception imme-
diateIy after the Inauguration to friends
Of Mr.. Smith, who had come from
all over Georgia to witness the in
augurallon, and she wanted to get into
the mansion early in the morning to
arrange for the function. Mrs. Smith
notified Mrs. Terrell of her wishes, but
Mrs. Terrell sent word that the mansion
would be turned over to Mrs. Smith at
/ > O'Clock, and not one minute earlier.
Barred from entering until noon, Mrs.
Smith issued orders to caterers, and at
I / O'Clock q long line of them proceeded
to the executive mansion, where they
stationed themselves on the sidewalks
waiting for opening time. When the
clock struck II Mrs. Terrell turned over
the keys and the caterers fled in and
arranged the refreshments for the guber.
oatorial reception. The feeling between
AIRS. Terrell and Mrs. Smith dates back
10 William J. Bryan's last visit to
Atlanta. On that occasion Mrs. Smith
was chairman Of the Somen's committee
which entertained Bryan, aud it is
claimed that this committee ignored
Mrs. Terrell in making arrangements.
Up TO that time Mrs. Terrell, as wife
OF the governor, had always figured on
committees to receive distinguished
guests.

MONDAY EVENING. JULY l, 1907.

The JURY in the Halifax court on
Saturday evening, as anticipated, brought
in a verdict declaring Judge Loving in
nocent IN the killing Of Theodore Estes
recently. The ground upon which the
verdict was based was that the judge In
slayiug the unfortunate young man was
'upholding the sanctity Of his home"
While no one is disposed to cast any
aspersion upon the twelve men who
were called upon to decide this case or
in any way to question their wisdom, 1t
may be- said that many people have been
inclined 10 believe that Judge Low
ing was a victim of rashntss; that
young Estes. may not have deserved
his fate and that it was possible ter
ribIe mistake had been committed.
The jury, however, had everything ap-
pertaining to the case presented to them,
and the public doubtless will be bring
ing Goals to Newcastle to represent mat
ters to their minds which they have al
ready closely examined. But nOtwilh-
standing all this, the fact remains that
the civilized world is gradually under
going a dangerous transition. and that
human life is not regarded with sufficient
sanctily. During the past few months a
number of cases have come before courts
in different parts of the country which
upon their faces would appear to lay
men to be deliberate murders, but when
carried before certain tribunals, attempts
have been made to minimize them into less
importance than ordinary misdemeanorS.
Dementia Americana, brain storm, tenn
porary insanity aud other real or imagi-
nary cerebral disorders have been plead
ia ex.enuation of horrid crimes, and the
world seems to be gradually drifting into
an epoch when violence will again fill
the earth as in the days of the antedi-
luvians. Ia the case of Judge Loving
the court excluded an attempt to I'M
peach the statement Miss Loving IS said
TO have made to her father previous to
the shooting, it being held that the truth
or falsity of the same was immaterial, as
the Judge killed young Estes while under
the impression that his victim had
wronged his daughter. According to her
evidence on the stan], the judge undea-
stood her correctly, but in the proceed
ings of the case published elsewhere it
is stated that no actual assault was
committed. If the daughter, in
her previous irresponsible condition,
imagined she was the victim of indig-
mites which really did not take place,
the remorse of years will be her portion,
while the father will have added thorns
to his pillow during the advanced eve
ming Of his life.

WHY MR.. RYAN WITHDREW.

Mr.. J. f. Ryan, of Loudoun, has
given out statement setting forth the
reason of his withdrawal fro;a the recent
congressional race. He says:
ut has come to my knowledge that
my withdrawal from the recent contest
for Congress has been misunderstood
and misrepresented. | therefore desire
to make the following statement:
"Several times during the canvass,
realizing the uncertainty OF the contest,
suggestions were made by different can
didates that we cast lots as to whe should
retire from the contest. This sugges-
ton was first made by Judge Nicol, but
whether seriously or not, | cannot say.
then, 40 Mr.. Csrlip afterward remind
ed me, declined to consider the propo-
sition. Later the proposition was made
to Judge Nicol, which he declined, and
still later the proposition was made BY
Mr.. Carlin, who asked me to see Mr..
Gordon in reference to the matter.
"Mf. Gordon disapproved the propo-
sition, realizing that Mr.. Gordon sDds
myself so divided the vote in portion
OF the district as 10 render probable the
defeat of both of us. suggested to Mr..
Gordon that We cast lots as to which
should retire. Mr.. Gordon saw the
situation as | did, but deemed it i'm
proper to sdopt the suggestion. This
occurred on the evening of the 18th.
Mr.. GordJn then left for Orange with the
positive understanding that we would
both continue the race to the end.
"On the afternoon of the same day
| ne. a friend from LOudoun, aud told
him l was informed that my vote was
leaving me on account OF the insistent
circulation OF the rumor that | had
withdrawn; that unless could counter
act the effect Of this rumor | might
have to retire from the race, but did not
expect to do so. At ll:30 P. m. of the
same day, ia answer to additional
rumors, published statement that
I had not and would not Withdraw from
the contest.
Shortly after giving this statement
to the press received message from
Leesburg saying that the friend above
mentioned, on his arrival there, had re-
ported | had Withdrawn. | took first
train to Leesburg to learn if this report
was true.
son arriving at Leesburg learned
that the report was true, and realizing
that as this report had been sent all
over the district, it would be impossible
to countefact its injurious effect in
time for the election on the following
day. l then determined to withdraw
from the contest, leaving my friends free
to vote for whom they pleased, aud wired
Messrs. Nicol, Gordon and Csrlin of my
withdrawal. No blame should be at
tsched to my friend for giving out what
was not intended for the public, as the
fault was mine in not fully impressing
upon him the importance of secrecy"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inhamed condition Of the mucous lining
ct the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
indamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm.
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inAamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by HALLS Catarrh Cure.
