SAYS FAULTY DENTIST
WORK SPOILED FACE
j. B. Williams Sues Van Vroom
Dental Parlors for $40
Damages

Alleging that faulty dentistry has
detracted seriously from his personal
beauty, John B. Williams a middle
aged man, sued the Van Vroom dental
parlors for s270 damages, and the ac-
ton was heard yesterday by Justice
Of the Peace Van Nostrand, who took
1t under submission. Williams is con-
vinced he was much handsomer be-
fore he went to the parlors in Sep
tember, 1905, to have treated a left
lateral tooth in his upper jaw. In
stead of treating that tooth, which was
dead. he declares the dental company
negligently and carelessly ground
down and cut away a left central
tooth. which was in perfectly sound
condition.
This good tooth, Williams testified.
was ground down into the shape of q
sharp spike. Like any other man, he
said, he took pride in the condition of
his teeth and in his face, and he was
greatly disguised to have his personal
appearance impaired. Besides that, he
stated, he had suffered great pain and
agony by the cutting down of the
sound tooth, and had not since been
able to use 1t.
The defense was that the tooth
operated on was not a sound one. and
that Williams had not permitted the
finishing of the crown work he had
contracted for.

Although the subject Of mountain
sickness has been carefully studied at
different times and reported upon by
skilled observers, the effects of pro-
longed residence in high localities have
not received the same attention from
scientists. 1t is taken for granted by
most writers that after a certain
length of time q healthy man can adapt
himself perfectly to any degree of alti-
tude. Medical practitioners resident in

however, cast doubts on the ideas

The Fate of Alexander, Hannibal.
Caesar and Napoleon.
1t is a remarkable and instructive
fact that the careers of four of the most
renowned characters that ever lived
closed with violent or mournful deaths
Alexander, after looking down from
the dizzy heights of his ambition upon
a conquered world and weeping that
there were no more to conquer, died
Of intoxication in a scene of debauch
or, as some suppose, by poison mingled
in his wine.
Hannibal, whose name carried terror
to the heart of Rome itself, after hav-
ing crossed the Alps and put to fight
the armies of the mistress of the world,
was driven from his country and died
at last Of poison administered by his
own hands in a foreign land, unla-
mented and unwept.
Caesar, the conqueror of 800 cities
and his temples bound with chaplets
dipped IN the blood of million of his
foes, was miserably assassinated by
those he considered his nearest friends.
DoHdpdIle, WuoSe HdHudle hluSS ana
emperors obeyed, after filling the earth
with the terror of his name, closed his
days in lonely punishment upon a bar
rem rock in the midst Of the Atlantic
ocean.
Such the four men who may be con-
sidered representatives of all whom the
world calls great and such their end
intoxication or poison, suicide, muir
dered by friends, lonely exile.

of the detonation tossed Il from the

OF the street car strike, which has not

DEATH FOLLOWS
BITE OF CANINE
Captain Edward Rabey Dies in Great
Agony of Hydrophobia in New
York SanauOrium.

New York, June 12.-Captain Ed
ward Rabey, commander Of one Of the
small steamers at the quarantine sta
ticn on the State Island shore, died in
a Staten Island sanatorium from hy-
drophobia. Although he had been ill
only since last Sunday, the physicians
who attended him are convinced that
his death was direct result of an
attack made upon him by dog near
ly five months ago.
When he was taken suddenly Ill,
however, and the physicians diagnosed
his case as hydrophobia, the incident
of five months ago was recalled. He
was at once removed to a private san
atorium and, although everything pos
sible was done to save his life, he sank
steadily and died in agony. He was
twenty-nine years old and is survived
by a widow and one child.
