"I enlisted in the Corps of Engineers as

in the Philippines, I became subject to the
Dobie Itch,' as the natives call It. In
this disease small, white, itching pimpies
form under the skin, generally between the
toes, on the limbs, between the fingers
and under the arms. I never knew OF q
case originating outside the Philippine
Islands, but have known of many cases
where it has returned in this country and
invariably at the same time of the year
as the original attack. The cause, 90 far
as I could learn, was some tropical parasite
or germ peculiar to that region,
ri got so bad that I was confined to my
quarters a week at a time. The Army
Surgeons applied some carbolic solution,
and it would disappear for a time, when it
would break out again. I was discharged
from the Engineers by reason of disability
contracted in line of duty, and when L
had the trouble again, my druggist, Mi.

Homes Fer Aged Poor.

London. - The will Of William
Whitley, the London merchant who
was murdered last week, makes a
number OF generous charitable be-
quests, the chief being s5,000,0O0 to
provide and maintain almshouses to
be known as the "Whiteley Homes
For the Aged Poor"
Mr.. Whitley leaves s250,000 to
each of his two sons, and his sister
and her two daughters receive annu-
tiles of $4,000 each. His wife, from
whom he had separated, was "pro-
vided for during life" In addition
to several other family and household
requests Mr.. Whitley leaves sums
varying from $4,000 to $4,000 to a
number of hospitals, while two sums
to be applied to the giving annually
through a certain clergyman of
"Whiteley Christmas gifts" while
the income of the second sum is to
be devoted to the promotion Of
cricket, football, rowing and swim
ming. Amy residue is to be divided
between Mr.. Whiteley's two sons.
The unusual public interest in the
Whiteley tragedy was shown by the
scenes at the funeral of the mer-
chant. Long before the hour for the
ceremony thousands of persons gath
cred about the home and dense
masses lined the streets leading to
the church where the service was
held.

GRAFT IN ATLANTIC CITY.
Committee Finds Municipality Robbed
of So. 16-One Arrest.

VI S~t5oOos
Atlantic City, N. 1.-The report OF
the finance committee which has been
investigating the financial affairs of
the city, made public recently, dis
closes that since August 81, 1904,
S24,60S.76 had been stolen from the
city through the connivance Of some
one in the Office of the City Control
Ter. The report says that the former
supervisor of streets, Beriah Mathis,
and the former boardwalk supervisor,
G. Bolton Parsons, refused to surren-
der their books to the expert &C
countants.
John Andrews, former chief clerk
in the Office of the City Controller,
acknowledged several weeks. ago that
he had been misusing the city funds
and had taken about $4,000. This
amount was made good by his turn
ing over to the city his interest in the
Hotel Metropolitan. He was per-
mitted to depart, but a few days ago
was arrested while in Washington.
He was brought back and placed ul-
der $4,000 bail for the Grand Jury.
Irregularities in the accounts OF
john T. Dyer & Co. and William E.
Dixey were found. The former had
been. overpaid to the extent of
sS671.31, and that overpayments in
the Di1ey account had cost the city
s29S0, it was declared. The report
says the Dixey accounts were raised
as follows: s28 to S42S, S2.15 10
1928, $35 to s435, $40 to $420.

VESTS FUEL FAMINE WORSE
North Dakota Suffering From
Cold and Starvation.
President Roosevelt and the Inter
state Commerce Commission
Urge Roads to Send Relief.

Washington, D. C.--The President,
the members of the Interstate Com.
merce Commission and the Congress
delegation from North Dakota are
gravely concerned owe the fuel
famine in that State, which shows no
signs of abatement and which is en-
failing such suffering that the people
are growing desperate. Towns where
there is absolutely no fuel, the ther-
mometer is from twenty-five to thir-
ty-eight degrees below zero and mail
and railway communication with the
outside world is completely shut off
are b%esieging the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the President,
and their representatives in Congress,
by telegraph, to afford them assist
ance at any cost.
In some instances even Geographic
communication is cut off, and mes
sages have to be carried ten or TWEEN
ty miles across the now covered and
wind swept prairies to the nearest
open telegraph Office. Such was the
case with n telegram received. 1t
comes from the Commercial Club, of
MaXbass, and was carried across the
open prairies ten miles to Eckman.
Maxbass is a small town on the Great
Northern Railway. close to the Can
adian line and a little west of mid
way between the eastern and western
boundaries of North Dakota. This
message reads:
Situation unchanged. Two coal
cars (snowed in) between here and
Towner. Conditions grow more des-
perate every hour. Wire communica-
ton cut off," =,
From New Rockford, on the North
ern Pacific Railway, comes the follow
ing message:
Fuel situation desperate. The
railway on this branch not making
any effort to-day to relieve us. Have
had no freight this year, no nail for
twelve days. People desperate. Will
burn railway property for fuel if
relief is not forthcoming within forty
eight hours"
Other information which reaches
the Interstate Commerce Commission
indicates that President Fill, Of the
Great Northern Railway, has about
thrown up his hands" has grown
discouraged and abandoned the eff
fort to relieve the freezing people of
North Dakota.
An early appeal for relief by the
Federal Government was answered by
a dispatch to the Governor Of North
Dakota, asking if it was not possible
for the State to afford relief. To this
the Governor replied that the rail-
ways were doing everything possible,
meaning, apparently, 10 imply that he
knew of no way in which he could
render assistance.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, by direction of the President,
has twice telegraphed to the presi-
dents of the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific Railways, urging
that everything possible be done to
relieve The situation, and assurances
have been given that the requests
will be needed; but the situation re-
mains unchanged, thousands of peo-
pie are menaced by the constant dan
ger of freezing to death, and the rail-
ways seem powerless to relieve the
conditions.

Springfield, Mass. - The ercrse
plant of the Phelps Publishing Com
pany, comprising four large brick
buildings and covering nearly an
acre of ground, was destroyed by fire,
causing a loss estimated at almost
100000. 1t is practically covered
by insurance.
The fire started from spontaneous
combustion among some benzine-

main building.
The firm published the following
magazines:
Good Housekeeping. the American
Agriculturist. the Judd Farmer. the
New England Homestead, and Farm
and Home.
Arrangements already have been
made for the publication of these in
New York and other cities while the
plant is being rebuilt.
The flames were first discovered by
the Waterman in the basement of the
main building. He extinguished the
blaze in the rags and continued on
his rounds. The rags soon burst into
flame again, however. and the build

tomato sprinklers failed to quench
the flames, and by the time the fire.
men arrived it was impossible to save
the plant.
In the buildings were many valu-

color presses. Nearly $50 persons
have been thrown out of employment
by the destruction of the plant, which
was one of the best of its kind in New
England.
