MISS MARY CHANGED HER SPOTS

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Fat, smiling
puzzled a clinic in Bellevue hospital,
and hasn't even started in to do things.
AS fact, she changes her spots mo-
mentarily. She is Mary EighOlZ OF
301 west 115th street, and is a victim
of that rare disease known as 'purp-
ura hemorrhagia," heretofore know,
only among old persons.
Describing the symptoms, DR.. White
said that little Mary's body at times
presents the appearance of having been
tattOoed. while the skin changes to
colors like the rainbow under the inf1u-
ence of weather conditions. Beneath
the skin blOtches of plum color, rang
ing in size from a pinhead to a penny
change shape like drop of oil on the
waves, and form star figures, pinwheels
and little oval shapes. The disease
does not affect the head Or neck, but
the spots cover the body otherwise.
More than three weeks ago the moth
er said, she noticed the varied 'cOlOrs of
Marys body when bathing the child
and felt alarmed Home remedies and
neighborly suggestions were worked
out to no effect, and Mrs. Eigholz car
ried the child to Bellevue hospital
where DR.. White took the case under
observation and for treatment.
Marys appetite is good and she
sleeps well. The doctor says the di-
sease probably was the result of a rheu-
matte germ which got into her sys-
TEN. Mrs Eigholz says her grand
mother has rheumatism. Otherwise
the child's antecedents were not rheu-
matte. Many doctors are studying the
case

"APAcHES" TERRIFY PARIS.
Ruffians Arrested by Hundreds, but Al
ways image TO Escape Punishment.

PARIS, Feb. 27.-The most striking
feature of the Mardi uras procession
was the number of arrests of ''apach-
es" made by the police.
The net result, however, was. as
usual, rather disappointing to good citi-
zens who read in the papers that out of
235 persons arrested only three or four
were actually held for appearance i'll
court. 1t is a repetition of the sad
familiar refrain. about hundred or
more scalawags being arrested and one
of them being detained by the police. 1t
sounds like the old stereOtyped story of
man winning thousands of dollars t
poker, one of which was in cash.
Street rowdies, to whom the French
apply the title of 'apaCheS,' seem to
be ruling the streets of Paris with
knives and revolvers. Certain quarters
are fast acquiring a reputation sur
passing that of Dead Mans gulch in
Cripple Creeks glorious days. The po-
lice arrive on the scene after a crime
is committed. and arrest so suspects,
three Of whom the next day, perhaps,
are held by the judge.

Among the first teams to take UP
the idea OF baseball team to play in
the evening tournament which is be-
ing talked of for this spring is the

Evening Statesman and Morning I'm
ion.
The employees of this firm are en-
thusiastic over trying conclusions with
the Davis-Kaser boys Or any other ag-
gregatiOn that appears on the amateur
diamond, as a member of the city
league.
There are several good eX-ball play
ers among the employees of the two
papers and one of the most famous
pitchers among the college teams OF
the Middle West a decade ago on the
Statesman staff.
Both the Statesman and Union
thought they each had a good team
last fall and expected to try conclusions
with each other but were prevented
by failure to arrange convenient
date. For this reason the boys think
that they could form combination
team that would be winner.

Pullman Students Offer to Advertise
WaIIa WaIIa in the East by
Stereopticon.

Advertising Walla Walla in the east
by means Of stereOpticon views was a
plan suggested to the directors of the
Commercial club at their meeting yes
terday evening.
Two Washington state college stu
dents, r. f Cat and H. E. GOldWOrthy
who will make a trip throughout the
east during the summer to advertise
the state of Washington, submitted a
proposition to prepare an exhibit of Is
slides representing Walla Walla scenes
for $50. The college boys will leave
Spokane June - and will spend three
months touring the east. Seattle, Spo-
kane and Tacoma are planning to
have views and descriptive talk and
the directors of the club look favor
ably on the plan of having Walla Wal
la get in the band wagon.
The matter was laid on the table
for the consideration of the club but
the cOncensus of opinion among the
directors seemed to be that it would
be money well expended.

The Newtown Savings bank are fur. nlshlng, free. to depositors opening an account or Sl or more with beautiful s1lver-nickel bank. The bank people thus make it easy for you to save and hard not to. If you will start a sav- credit, they give you one Self-RegiSter- ing steel safe, retaining the key. You slip in the dimes and nickelS, even larger coins and bills as you can spare them. Bring the little saving machine to the bank each month and they will give you credit on your deposit account for the contents. Do this every month and your financial condition will never be source of worry to you. Your easy spending habit is checkmated by the fact that the bank holds the key. The old habit loses strength and the saving habit develops. That's the secret in a nutshell. Can anyone afford to miss this opportunity?
 The advantages of these self-regis- tering safes to young people may be briefly summarized as follows:
 l. It's novelty. Attracts and holds your attention to the idea of saving.
 2. Sanitary, strong and durable. Per fOratiOnS make perfect ventilation Does not rust or corrode coins. Made of Bessemer steel and chilled iron.
 3. Its suggestiveness. Silently and constantly invites you to watch the money columns grow. And they do grow.
 4. It's coin arrangement. It encour- ages frequent deposits.
 ). It's immediate response to the de- sire to know how much you have saved. You can see the money and it is also recorded for you on the outside surface of the safe.
 6. It's prevention Of mistakes as to how much has been handed the bank teller. Money can be counted before the safe is opened.
 '. It's separation and stacking of coins and delivery to bank teller with out disturbing the money or dumping the safe. Another time-saver to you and the bank. All of which keeps you interested in the main proposition of saving.

After careful consideration of the benefits sure to accrue to a community by increasing the number of savings bank depositors, the directors of the Newtown Savings bank have ordered aCsupply of Individual steel savings banks, for distribution to those who wish to accumulate small savings, with the ultimate object of depositing the same in the savings bank. This safe indicates at all times just how much is deposited in it, so that the de- positor may, at any time, know wheth- CT he is ready to take it to the savings bank for deposit on his bank book. Applicants for one of these safes (which cost the bank S1 each), will be required to open a regular account with the bank by depositing S1 and re- ce1ving regular bank book therefor, which dollar can be withdrawn any time on return of the safe. Other de- posits on the book may be made, and amounts withdrawn, the same as on any savings bank book. The great convenience of these small safes to small savers, and the good sure to fol- low the starting of saving accounts, is the primary object of the bank direct ors. The only key-a master key-to these safes is retained by the Savings bank so that safes may be opened only when presented at the bank. MT Net tleton, the affable treasurer, will be glad to show these safes to any inter r. eSted parties.

Much interest was lately being shown

Much interest was lately being shown
 in the alleged discovery of a chem ical
 compound by John Elmore, a cobbler Of Altoona, Pa, which, mixed with
 coal ashes, would make them a more
 durable and effective heat agent than
 several exhibitions which attracted
 attention and were heralded as re-
 markedly successful and convincing.
 Little has been heard of them lately, but the Fillmore prescription, or what
 passes for that, has been published as oxalic acid, two ounces; water, one gallon. Mix and moiSten a mixture containing one part coal and three
 parts ashes and better fuel than
 pure coal is obtained. The whole thing bears close resemblance to the | water-and-ashes "discovery" which
 was brought out during the fuel fam inc of three years or so ago, a discov-
 cry whose merits or demerits are
 known to many householders here
 Prof Bellew of the Columbia universi- ty department of chemistry ridiculed
 the claims of the Altoona cobbler,
 Whereupon James w. Geyer, a New
 York tobacconist, announced his dis
 eoyery of powder, whose composition of coal burn longer and give
 out more heat than an equal weight of pure coal. He publicly invited Prof Below to attend test -ef his claim in
 the boiler room of the Park Avenue hotel, last Sunday afternoon. The professor did not go but lot of news
 paper reporters went along with an expert mechanical engineer of recog- | nized Standing in that profession. The New York Times prints this account of the test: The first step in the test was the mixing of coal and ashes. A | pile consisting of twO-thirdS ashes and One-third coal was mixed thor | Oughly, water was poured upon this
 and then the powder, to the prOpor-
 tiOn of tablespoonful of powder to
 one gallon of water was thrown on,
 nd stirred thoroughly. Two of the l three boilers were then shut down,
 and several shOvelfulS of the mix | ture were thrown into the furnace of | the third boiler. The steam pressure at that time was 75 pounds. The mix | ture was thrown in at 4 o'clock. Seven
 minutes later the furnace door was
 opened. The fuel was burning briskly,
