MRS. WORSE.
Victim of Husbands Bullets Gradually
Growing Weaker.

The Pueblo, Colo, S~tar-Journal Of
Monday evening, says:
Mrs. Lucy Cammack passed a very
restless night last night and her con-
dition- is reported to be worse today
than for the past few days. While she
is not thought to be in immediate dan
ger of death, her condition is very I'M
favorable. The ordeal Of going thru
the examination under the X-ray ma
chine did not apparently have any bad
effect on the patient. The physicians
attribute her condition today to be not
unexpected and to be caused by the
gradual wearing away of vitality from
the effects of the terrible injury to the
spinal cord"

A n INTERESTING report on tattoo
"A ing in the navy has been made to
Secretary Metcalf by Surgeon Ammon
Farenholt as result of his observa-
tons while serving on the receiving
ship Independence at the Mare island
navy yard in California.
The enlistment records of 3.572 men
were examined by Dr. Farneholt, this
being the enlistments on the Independ-
ence for eight and half years. These
records show that the percentage
found tattooed on examination for Sec
ond and subsequent enlistments was
1851. and the percentage found tat
tooed on examination for first en-
listment was 1901. The opinion is ex-
pressed that about 60 per cent of the
sailors who have served over ten years
in the navy are tattooed.
DIR. Farenholt says it is not fair to
assume from the figures that 90 per
cent of the male citizens are tattooed.

Tattooing Very Popular in the Navy

Farenholt's opinion. the custom is
more common in camps and in places
where men are collected in large num-
bers than is imagined.
The report contains statistics re-
garding the location of tattoo marks
and the frequency of various designs.
Letters. notices, initials and allied de.
vices lead the list and constitute about
&c per cent. of all ink marks. Coats OF
arms and national emblems follow
with about % per cent. then flags,
anchors. etc Female figures are
shown in is per cent. of all tattooing.
The usual types were found among
them. such as ''Holdfast" "a letter on
the back of each finger); apprentice
knot; pig on dorsum of foot, which,
among the older men. was supposed to
shield its possessor from death by
drowning: crucifx, which in case of
death would insure burial in Chris
tian country, and Jerusalem cross"
which would answer the same purpose
