City March 26 and in New Orleans March 27,

HOW ABOUT 1T?

There seems to be some difference of opinion
as to the Interpretation of the law governing
the payment of deputy sheriffs for services at
the polls during the late primary. A literal ac-
ceptance of the law would give the deputy sher-
ifs the same pay as clerks and commissioners of
election at the general elections. The law reads
Said commissioners clerks and deputy
sheriffs shall receive the same compensation as
is paid to commissioners of election at elections
held under the general election laws of the
State"
But the question arises whether it was not
the intention of the law that deputy sheriffs
should also receive the same compensation as at
general elections. It does not look reasonable
that it should be provided for clerks and COM
missioners to receive the same pay as at general
elections, while the deputy sheriffs are reduced.
If it the intention of the law to SO reduce the
pay Of deputy sheriffs an express declaration
to that effect would have been distinct and clear

TUBERCULOSIS MARTYR.
Frank Merritt Was Inoculated with
The Germ.

New York.-In the hope Of dis
covering a preventive and cure for
tuberculosis, Frank Merritt, who
about two weeks ago offered to allow
experiments to be made with his body
in the interest Of humanity and med
ical science, has permitted physi-
clan to inoculate his system with the
germs of the dread disease. An ex-
animation later showed that already
the disease had made considerable
progress since the incubation week
ago.
Merritt. who is a middle-ao"d m"r,
was at one time prosperous book
binder in a Western State until ms
wife and a son died of tuberculosis.
Their loss so preyed on his mind that
he failed in business and became a
wanderer.
A statement from the Doctors Of
fee says that the disease has now
thoroughly entered Merritt's system,
and it is expected that the case will
be fully developed in the next few
days.
