REoAINING HIS HEALTH AND EN-.

NO OCCASION FOR WORRY
Has Spent Three Weeks at Sanitarium
Unknown to Public-ReceiVed
One Visit from the
President.

New York.-Secretary of State
Elihu Root, who has already
spent three weeks at the farm-sani
tarium of William G. Muldoon, ex
champion wrestler, near White Plains
taking Mr.. Muldoon's course of ath
letic treatment for a severe attack OF
nervous exhaustion, expects to com
plete his cure in two weeks more. He
is now well on the road to complete
recovery and all reason for appre,
hension about his health seems to
have disappeared.
On the quiet farm among the West
Chester hills, so secluded that the sec.
retary Of state was enabled to pass
three weeks there and be visited by
the president of the United States be.
fore his whereabouts were discover

up, put on a healthy coat Of tan, lost
the drawn, worried look of the early
summer and will go back to Washing

strongest member of the cabinet, not

During the first two weeks of his
stay he gained a pound a day, acquir-

When visited Friday on the veranda
of the Muldoon residence, his face
showed good color, his eyes were clear
and his hand steady. He looked a
trifle tired but otherwise well. Mr..
Root asked to be excused from talk
ing about his health, but his appear
ance was sufficient contradiction of
the exaggerated reports of a complete
breakdown. His physician visited
him but left without making any ar
rangements for his return.
According to Mr.. Muldoon, Secretary
Root, when he arrived, was suffering
from nervous exhaustion, the result of
overwork and strain

MISSISSIPPI GOVERNOR,
Claim Their Officers Are in Danger
- Citizens of Greenwood Threat
en- Manager.

| Jackson, Miss. - Gov. Vardamar
was asked Thursday to call out
troops to protect the telegraph
offices at Holly Springs, Grenada and
Greenwood. The appeal was made by
Supt. Terhune of the Western Union
company, who said the operators had
been driven from the office in the two
towns first named and that the mana.
ger at Greenwood had been threatened
and abused by the citizens of that
place.
The governor replied that Supt.
Terhune should appeal to the courts,
and if they are unable to enforce the
law, he will adopt special measures
for protection.
President SmalI's Challenge.
Chicago. - Officials of the West
ern Union and Postal Telegraph COM
panies were called upon Thursday
to prove to the public their oft-repeat-
ed claims that they are handling all
their business satisfactorily.
President Small of the Telegraph
ers' union said tho companies were
not telling the truth, and he challeng-
ed them to throw open their operat-
ing-rooms for inspection by an impair
tial committee of business men, that
the public might know the real facts
about existing conditions.
Mr. Small says such a committee
will find the operating-rooms filled
with managers of branch offices, COM
pany officials and dummies, with here
and there real operator" and that
only such business as makes the best
showing aof results-the tickers ana
the work Of the great business houses
is being cared for, while the pub
lie at large is not getting service.
When President Small's suggestion
was conveyed to the company officials
the statement was made that investi-
cation must be made from outside the
operating-rooms, and the decision must
rest with the business community at
large, which, they assert, is regaining
and turning in more and
more business.

EDDY CASE ENDS SUDDENLY.
Next Friends" File Motion to Dis.
miss Their Plea.

Concord, N. H.-A sudden, though
not wholly unexpected, ending of the
masters hearing in connection with
the suit in equity brought by relatives
of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, leader OF
the Christian Science faith, came in
the superior courtroom here Wednes.
day
Former Senator William E. Chand.
Ter, senior counsel for the relatives,
or next friends" announced to the
board of masters that they had filed
motion with the superior court to
dismiss their action.
The suit was brought on the ground
that Mrs. Eddy, being incompetent,
on account of age and infirmities, to
manage her own affairs, was the vic
tim of persons associated with her in
Christian Science work, who were
named as defendants in the equity
suit The masters were appointed by
the superior court to determine the
question of Mrs. Eddy's competency,
and hearings before them have been in
progress for several days.
The reason for the petition for dis.
missal, as made known at the hear.
ing Wednesday by Mr.. Chandler. was
the belief that success along the lines
desired could not be obtained, and
the unprotitableness of any immedi-
ate result of decision in favor of the
next friends in the exact issue as
now framed, compared with the bur-
dens and disadvantages to be endured
both before and after such a decision.

CALLS THE NEGROES GUILTY.
GEN. MYERS REPORT TOUCHES
ON BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR.
Garrison Removed From Fort Brown
as ResuIt-commander Urges
Better Pay and Canteen.

Washington. That Brig. Gen.
Albert l.. Myer, commanding the
department of Texas, thinks the col.
ored troops shot up" Brownsville,
Tex, last August is shown by his an
nual report. After calling the ARRAY
"a Iamentable occurrence which is
still shrouded in mystery to a great
extent" he says:
However, 1t seems to have been
established that on the night in ques.
tion few enlisted men of the first
battalion, Twenty-fifth infantry, then
garrisoning Fort Brown, did go armed
into Brownsville and do some promis.
cuous firing resulting in the death of
one civilian, one horse and the wound
ing of one policeman. 1t has been i'm
possible to identify the individuals
who actually did the firing. Undoubt-
edly there was at the time mutually
bad blood between a part of the gar
rison Of Fort Brown and some of the
citizens of Brownsville and this fact
must, to some extent, account for the
occurrence"
AS a result of the occurrence, Fort
Brown has been deprived of a garri-
son and the reservation has been tenn
porarily transferred to the depart
ment Of agriculture.
In line with other department COM
manders, Gen. Myer takes the ground
that the pay of enlisted men should be
increased, particularly of non-commis-
stoned officers. He favors legislation
increasing the infantry by at least
ten regiments Of full peace strength,
and he declares that the continuing
absence of so many officers renders
more apparent and evident the neces-
sity for some legislation giving two Of
ticers at least to a company or troop
at all times.
Gen. Myer renews the recommends
tion of most of his predecessors rela-
tive to the removal of the canteen
restrictions on the sale of malt
liquors. He says there has been about
8 per cent. decrease in the number of
trials by court martial, and the mum.
Der of trials for desertion far ex-
ceeds that of any other crime or
charge.

Science of TiekIishness.

When one has found a suitable lit.
tie playmate, preferably a child be-
tween three and eight years of age,
and commences to tickle it, what hap
pens? In the first place, replied DIR.
Douis Robinson, famed for his re-
searches into zoology, it becomes
quite evident that unless the child is
in a playful and responsive mood it
cannot be tickled. If it be unwell, or
If stranger or one whom the child
fears or dislikes attempts to tickle it,
there is no response except resent
ment at an unwelcome interference.
But as soon as u satisfactory under
standing is established, the little one
laughs and wriggles with delight. AL
though each movement is an elaborate
avoidance of contact, there is con-
tinual invitation to repeat the tickling.
Practically all children, in fact, both
by word of mouth and act, show plenty
Of evidence of enjoyment of the game,
and invite its continuance indefinitely.
Hence, one may say that there exists
a distinct appetite for tickling. This,
upon close investigation, proves to be
as marked and real as any of the rec
Ognized animal appetites (all of
which, by the way, have an immediate
bearing on the continuance of the in
dividual or of the race). This appe-
tite for tickling has this in common
with the other appetites, declares Cur
rent literature, that there are times
when desire is absent and provoca-
ton fails to take effect Like the re-
fexes associated with the gustatory
nerve, which makes part of the appe-
tite for food the activity of which de-
pends upon whether we are hungry or
the reverse, the refexes that accom-
pany ticklishness are intermittent l

Deaths from x.Rays.

The death of DR.. Weigel, a surgeon
Of Rochester, from a disease due to
the constant use Of the X-rays makes
the fourth who has lost his life from
this cause, says the Chistian Advo-
cate.
The others were an assistant Of
Thomas Edison, a Boston physician
and woman of San Francisco named
Fleischman. In the case of DR.. Wei
gel since 1904, when his right hand
and all but the thumb and a finger
of the left hand were removed, there
had been four operations in trying
to save his life. The first removed
a part Of the right shoulder; then a
part of the muscles covering the right
breast.
Mystery completely envelops the
cause Of death, the disease being un-
known to medical science though it
Is believed to involve some great prin-
ciple of life. DR.. Weigel was presi.
dent Of the Rochester Academy Of
Medicine and the American Ortho-
paedic society.

STRIKERS TO STATE CASE.
President Small Decides to Hold Mon.
ster Mass Meeting.

Chicago.-A monster mass meeting
at which the cause of the striking
telegraphers is to be laid before the
business men of Chicago has been
decided on by President Small of the
Commercial Telegraphers' union.
Mr. Small said Friday that as the
time had come when both sides were
determined, and it might seem to
the public that the strikers attitude
was mere stubbornness, the telegra-
pliers should go before the communi-
ty and present their case fully.
The plan was taken up by Mr.. Small
as the result of a private conversa-
tion in which President Sager, of the
board of trade, expressed desire to
look at the case from the point of
view of the telegraphers, and said
that he would attend one of their
meetings.

The Sexes in America.

America is the field in which will
be harmoniously adjusted the differ,
ences of das Ewig- Weibliche and the
eternal domineeriug male. Woman
is not inferior to man but different
from him, as Stendhal would say.
Nevertheless, the two sexes are slow
ly approaching, declares James
Huneker, in Everybodys Magazine.
The man of to-day is more fem
mime than his predecessors; that
Is he is more gentle, civilized;
while the woman, casting away old
fashioned incrusting prejudices, is
more masculine, i. e., she is not only
more athletic in her tastes than her
grandmother-she is mentally broader
and firmer in her judgments. (Some
day she will be so far evolved" that
she will be charitable to her own
SEX. The franker association of the
sexes has proved tonic to the woman,
refining to the man. These are school
boy truisms, but they will always
stand quotation.

COSTLY BLAzEs IN PlTTsRuRe.
Two Fires Cause Damage Estimated
at $25o,ooo.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Two fires Thursday
caused by the explosion of gasoline
In clothes pressing establishments
caused damage estimated at $25O,O0O
and for time threatened the entire
east end section of this city.
The first fire broke out shortly be-
fore noon in the Club Pressing &
Cleaning companys place at $3.50
Penn avenue. The three story brick
building was destroyed and IA en-
ployes were rescued from the windows
by tiremen.
The second fire was more serious
and before it was controlled seven
buildings were wiped out. The blaze
started in the Enterprise Pressing
company's shop at 1915 Center avenue
about two o'clock and spread with
great rapidity east and west.
A number of automobile garages in
the neighborhood had quantities of
gasoline on hand and barrels and
tanks of the fuel were removed from
the vicinity. A hundred or more auto
mobiles were run out of the garages
and for a time lined either curb of
block, several blocks from the burn
ing district.
The flames made a great roar and
leaped into the air so feet above the
burning buildings. Between the burn
ing block and the handsome East Lib
erty market house only a narrow lot
intervened and grave fears were en-
tcrtained lest the market should
catch. This building escaped, how
ever, but for the scorching of the east
side and the shattering of the win
dows. Shortly after four o'clock the
fire was declared to be under control
