apartments Of his father-in-law. William
Sutton, at 247 West Nineteenth street. on

body taunted him with the remark that
he feared the hereafter. a..
Cook. who had been out Of work for
some time, appeared at his father-in-
laws house partly intoxicated on Wednes-
day night. One of those who were with
him happened to say that II Cook did not
give up his drinking he would probably
die. This remark was followed by another
in the spirit OF banter, which was TO the
effect that Cook knew that he did not dare
TO die, for he could not face what would
follow.
The man Immediately pulled a revol-
yer from his pocket and aimed 1t at John
Buck, a young man who was visiting
Cooks sister r-in-law. Then he changed his
mind, and saying that Buck was too
young to die Cook turned the revolver
on himself and ssnt bullet through his

WAsHISoroN. Sept. 24ZA public test
for treating consumptives has been
planned to take place at the International
tuberculosis Congress Here next week.
DR.. d. Jaszio: Detre. a celebrated special
list from Austria, is arranging for the test.
as he desires to prove the value OF his new
method Of diagnosis. He claims that the
feature Of his test will disclose definitely
the type. degree and stage OF tuberculosis
DR.. Detre expects to take three patients
from among those at the tuberculosis
hospital in Washington, inoculate them
with the deadly ,tubercle baoilli, human
and bovine, and show the medical world
through its; representatives gathered at
the congress what he can do.
The Austrian specialist contends that
it is possible by his discovery to deter
mine in twenty-four hours whether an
infected person is suffering from human
or bovine tuberculosis, thus permitting
immediate application OF the special pre-
ventive most effective In attacking either
asserts that he can tell just what portions
OF the anatomy are most susceptible to
each type Of bacillus.
DR.. Detre explains that he inoculates
the patients arm at three different points;
first with Koch's tuberou lin; second with
bacilli, and third with filtrate Of broth
culture Of bovine bacilli. In twenty-four
hours the results Of three reactions is
noted, and the physician Is able to note
which type Of bacillus caused reaction.
He is able instantly to read whether the
infection is dormant or OF recent con-
traction whether the human organism
can resist the attack and Is able to see
other properties OF the infected organism.
DR.. IDetre expresses the. opinion that
bovine tu bercu losis is conveyed to human
beings through milk or butter from in
fected cattle, but asserts that the disease
is never contracted through eating the
meat of tn ubercular cattle.

Islands yesterday All cable commune
cation has been severed and no informa-
ton is obtainable from the stricken islands
except that received just before the wires
failed and reports coming from natives.
The disaster seems to have extended

ing in the town of that name, the principal
one on the island. was destroyed with
one or two exceptions Similar advices
are being received from Romblon.
After sweeping the Philippines the
typhoon passed on over the China Sea.
1t was moving in a northwesterly direc-
ton.
Romblon Is one Of the small islands Of
the Philippine group. 1t has a coast line
Of only i4O miles. Copra is it's principal
export, but it also exports gypsum and
ochre. The population in 1908 was
1o,0a5. 1t is about one hundred and twenty
miles south southeast OF Manila.
Masbate is an island somewhat smaller
than Romblon. but 1t Is very fertile.
yielding tobacco, gums and resins. II
also has gold deposits. 1t lies south OF
Luzon and west OF Samar. The capital
Masbate, has 2, 400 inhabitants.
