BAKING CURES BURNS
New Method for Treatment of Severe
Cases Proving Highly Successful at
the Roosevelt Hospital, New York -
Some Unusual Recoveries.

New York, Dec. 2S.-The physicians
at the Roosevelt hospital are enthu-
siastic over the new methods which
are being tried there for the treatment
of severe burns. 1t is said that 1t has
been unexpectedly successful during
the short time it has been on trial. and
number Of lives have been saved
that would have probably been lost IT
treated by any of the old methods.
The treatment consists of baking the
patient. A large wire form is placed
en- the bed over the patient, and bed
clothes placed on top of that. Beside
the bed is placed an ordinary gas
stove, provided with special air
chamber from which tube runs under
the bedclothes Thru this tube con-
slant current of hot air is forced into
the ovenlike covering of the bed The
bed clothes are left loose at the foot
of the bed, to insure the Introduction
of fresh air, but are closely fastened
down everywhere else. 1t is stated at
the hospital that several patients have
been cured where the burns covered
more than half the surface of the body,
while with the usual methods OF treat
ment, cases are generally fatal wlere
a third of the body's surface has been
burned.

PREMIUM DROPS
Now UnprofitabIe to Import Gold From
Old WorId-Prices Of Stock Still
Drift Downward.

New York Dec 2S.-Prices OF stocks
have drifted downwards until this
week, in very dull market. Money
supplies were scanty owing immed-
lately to preparations of banks for
yearly settlements and for some large
special requirements falling due Jan.
/. The effect was depressing on
stocks.
Besides, there was some anxiety over
the working out of the commercial sit
uation when heavy maturities of OBJ
legation for the past purchases come
in, as they shall do after the first of
the year. The decline in industrial
activity has brought into prominence
the discussion Of dividend prospects
as leading factor on the immediate
movements of industrial stocks.
The fact that a money crisis no
longer exists in New York was shown
yesterday, says the Times. when the
premium on currency dropped from 1
per cent to n of 1 per cent. At the
same ti"ae it was announced that there
had been q decided drop in cable
transfers. The decline in the prem
ium on money was due to lessened
demand for it, and has made the i'm
portation of gold improbable.

SUGAR COMBINE FACES BIG SUIT
Government Claims IL Was Defrauded
of $3,000,000 in Duty.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Suits against
the American Sugar Refining Company
to recover millions of dollars of which
it is charged the government has been
defrauded in the last ten years are to
be begun by the United States Depart
ment of Justice as soon as the compu-
tation of the total amount Of the gov
ernment claim is completed by the
treasury officials now engaged in the
work. From estimates now made by
those close in touch with the secret
work of the customs officials it is de-
clared the total to be claimed will
amount to more than $3,000,000. This
sum represents the difference between
the duty paid by the sugar trust since
the passage of the Dingley tariff act
and the amount that should have been
paid, according to the governments
claim, but which is alleged to have been
evaded by the use of fraudulent scales
on the docks of the refineries.

San Antonio, Texas, Dec. 2S.-Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan, following the
fashion set by Grover Cleveland, is
coming to Texas during the holidays
to hunt ducks. AS Roosevelt has made
the Teddy Bear Rampant the republic
can ensign, so Bryan is going to make
the Duck PasAant the democratic ori-
famine. Meanwhile all the Texas cit
les are vying with each other the hon
or of entertaining the three-fold can
didate, who if he talks everywhere he
is invited, will find his lung power
put to a severe test. He has mean
while shown little inclination to ac-
cept the various invitations, having
doubtless been reliably informed that
democratic votes are as thick in Tex
as as ducks, and they are as numerous
as flies in dog days. He will seek to
break the Cleveland record for duck
killing, and qualify to run also a
third time for the presidency.
