GAVE SKIN TO SAVE LIFE.
Friends Sacrifice Cuticle to Graft on
Man Burned in Explosion.

Bristol Va, Mar. 20.-Fred Sherron
the young civil engineer from Wash
ington, d. c., who was thought to have
been fatally burned in a gasoline eX-
plosion on the South and Western
Railway, near Bristol, few days ago,
will recover. The life of the young
man was saved by the strenuous
efforts of physicians and the devotion
of several young men friends who
allowed skin to be cut from their
bodies and grated on the limbs of the
young engineer.
Mr.. Sherron was associated with his
cousin, T. V. Rawn, the latter superin-
tendent of the Walton Contracting
Company, in the building of the
miIlion-d dollar tunnel on the South and
Western at Clinchport, Va. When Mr..
Sherron entered the tunnel carrying a
torch the gasoline became ignited and
he was frightfully burned Skin was
taken from five of the young mans
friends, including his cousin, f. V.
Rawn. and used in the grating
process.

Land leeches are plentiful i'll Ccylon.
These bloodsuckers hang on bushes and
trees and Turk in the grass. They work
their way through the threads OF stock
ings and underwear. The average size
before feeding is only about half an
inch long and no thicker than a hair
almost invisible. After feeding they
are fat as finger. The only way to
get them off ones body without break
ing them and leaving their heads in
side is t. squeeze a few drops of lemon
on them. Then they will fall TO the
ground. The Ceylonese will stop every
two or three minutes, take out a lemon
and ancint carefully the half dozen
leeches stuck in a black mass to the
calf of his leg. Some Ceylon leeches
are three inches long.

wade. 1t had been generally accented
that one of the purposes of the dukes
visit was formally to propose mar.
riage to Miss Eikins, whose acquaint-
ance he formed about a year ago when
the italian squadron visited the
jamestown Exposition.
The Italian ambassador. Mayor Des
Planches and his official and unoffi-
cial household have uniformly main
tanned the greatest reticence in regard
to the movements and doings of the
duke, avering that he was travelling
in his private capacity of gentleman,
whose personal affairs were nobodys
business but his own. For this rea-
son only the scantiest possible infor-
nation respecting his doings here have
been made public. Early today the
duke took leave of his host and hostess
and went to New York, travelling via
the Pennsylvania Railroad. He was
unaccompanied to the. station by an of
the officials of the embassy. 1t is re-
ported the ambassador made an infor-
nal statement today which was sub
stantially as follows:
1.-The question of an engagement is
right to know anything about it. The
statement that there was a meeting
of the Elkins family at the Italian
embassy several nights ago is abso-
lutely false. No member of the Elkins
family has been at the embassy either
during the dukes visit nor for a long
period prior to that time.
The duke was in this country on a
regular leave Of absence granted him
by the minister OF marine while his
vessel Is undergoing some improve
ments. The vessel is at Spozzia, one OF
the principal Italian ports. The dukes
leave is now exhausted and he goes
back TO resume command of the YES
sci. The duke is leaving on the best
of terms with his acouaintances and
friends. To some of them he has given
assurances that he will be back in the
near future.
wherefore, statements published
here and in various parts of the United
States concerning the dukes visit and
its result are incorrect, and show Il
lack of Kindness and courtesy"

German Reporters Object
to Being Called Swine
And Refuse to Report Reich.
stag Until Apology Is Made.
Proprietors Of Papers and News
Agencies Back Them Up.

Berlin, March 20.-The press repre-
sentatives whose duties are to attend
the RelchStag have ceased entirely to
report the meetings of that body be-
cause of the Incident yesterday during
the debate on the colonial budget when
Herr Groeber, the Center leader, called
the journalists swine because they
jeered a statement used by a member
to the effect that negroes had also
immortal souls
over 100 newspaper men debated the
matter in the Reichstag building this
morning and decided that no further
reports would be sent out unless an
apology was forthcoming. The news
paper proprietors and the news
agencies all support the reporters.
A resolution has been drawn up de-
handing an apology from Herr Groe-
Der, or that the President of the House
call him to order. Today the press
gallery was entirely empty. The press
representatives assigned to cover the
Diet met today and expressed SYM
pathy with their colleagues.
The president of the Association of
Foreign Newspaper Correspondents
made a speech in one of the Reich
stag galleries to the local reporters.
He said the foreign correspondents sup
ported their German colleagues and
expressed his indignation at Herr
Groeber'S insult to the entire press,
saying Herr Groeber was protecting
himself by his parliamentary immuni-
ty from the German law covering in
suits. Some of the newspaper men sug-
gested that one of their number be Sc
lected to challange Herr Groeber to a
duel.
The newspapers of Berlin and the
provinces have unanimously decided
not to print word of the Reichstag de-
bates until adequate retractiOn is Off
cred for the insulting expression of
Swine" addressed TO the reporters gal
lery yesterday by Herr Groeber, leader
of the Center party, because jeers had
come from this division at a statement
used by Il member to the effect that
negroes also had immortal souls.
The Official news agencies are COM
PEELED, according to their agreements
to take down the declarations of the
ministers stenographically. The Pariia-
mentary reporters of the newspapers
abstaincd altogether from attending the
Reichstag today and as a result no
fever than II deputies who had in
tended to speak on the colonial budget
withdrew their names from the Presi
tents list and refused to address the
House at a time when their remarks
would rot he given publicity.
The resolution adopted by the report
ers in which they demanded apology
and fullest retractiOn for the insult
offered them, will be presented to the
leaders of every party in the Rcichstag
to bring influence 20 bear to bring about
settlement OF the incident.

CUTTING DOWN SPORTS.
Harvard Faculty Votes to So Ask the
Athletic Committee.

Cambridge, Mass, March 2O.-Aftcr
prolonged and stormy meeting which
lasted until midnight, the Harvard
faculty voted tonight to instruct the
Harvard Athletic Committee to reduce
the number of intercollegiate athletic
contests at the university The meet
ing was held behind closed doors, and
1t is believed that the decision was
not reached until after considerable
discussion. When they adjourned to-
night the following statement was Civ
en- out: aTNIRKu
The Harvard faculty believing that
the present frequency of intercollegiate
games is injurious to the scholarly in
terests of which it has charge urgently
recommends to the committee on the
regulation of athletic sports in Har-
ward that it shall seek by means of an
agreement with competing colleges or
otherwise to reduce considerably in
the coming year its program of in
tercollegiate contests"
Should the committee decide to up
hold the decision Of the faculty it will
mean that intercollegiate sports at
Harvard will be reduced to a minimum
if not entirely eliminated.

LYDIA 8. PINKRHM

Nat11s6 and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good ld-fashioned days of
OUR grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs; for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study Of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
Of the world remedy for their Pc
culiar ills. more potent and effca-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of SIS NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
Of other suffering women I am willing
to make my troubles public.
For twelve years had been suffer-
= ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkhams advice re-
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
twill do for other suffering women.
