Radiunn Successfully Used by Two French Physicians on the Skin of
 Disfigured Persons.

Paris, Oct. 1.-Two prominent phy sicians, Drs. Wickham and Degrais have caused a sensation at the aca6s emy of medicine by report that they had succeeded in many cases in re moving the birthmarks known as port wine stains with radium. The new method has proven equally successful in the cases of adults and children. The marks are effaced by the simple application of plane surface covered with varnish containing the radium. The action Is regulated by the length and frequency of the application.
 The doctors showed a series of pho tographs illustrating stages of the cure and final treatment, which left the stain in it's normal condition. The applications. they stated, were abso- htely painless. and the treatment could be applied to an infant during sleep.

MURDER AND
 VENGEANCE
White Man Killed While Sitting on Porch by Negro Mob Soon Gives Black Man His
 Reward.

Texarkana, Oct. 13.-A double tragedy was enacted at 9 o'clock this morning on Rose Hill. A white man named E, NJ. Summer and negro named Monroe Bal lard were the victims.
 Both the men were laborers and lived in the same neighborhood. their houses being only a few yards apart. The two houses were owned by the same la dlord The presence of negro as a ighbor was objectionable to the white man, and it is said he complained to the landlord. The latter went around this morning about 8:30 o'clock aud served notice on the negro that he must vacate.
 Half an hour later, while Sum- mer was sitting on his front porch, his feet propped up, and smoking his cob pipe, the negro suddenly appeared with a Al caliber pistol in hi, hand and shot him to death, firing two shots, both of which passed en. tirely through the body and pro- duced instant death
 The officers were at once tele. phoned tor and were on the scene in very few minutes after the tragedy, Ballard, however, had barricaded himself in his house and declined to surrender. The officers called to him repeatedly to come out aud give up, but he shouted hack defiance and threat ened to kill any one who should approach the door.
 Finally the negro fired a shot which passed very close to the ear of Deputy Sheriff Peters. By this time the officers had been re- inforced by large number of armed citizeus and fusilade was fired into the house.
 At this the negro came to the door and was riddled with bullets from another volley. He undoubt dly would have been lynched had he been taken alive.
