PRACTICALLY incurable blood disease, the
medical world is greatly interested in the
discovery that It is not a blood disease at
all. but is due to a parasite in the skin
itself This parasite is easily destroyed
by the external application of a compound
OF oil of wintergreen. thymol. giycerine,
etc, which will quickly kill all eczema
germs, while soothing and refreshing the
skin.

Mrs. Kennedy Surprised to
Learn Husband Is Held i'll
$500 Bail.
DID NOT KNOW WOMAN.
Man Who Alleges Blacklnail
Did Not Mention Arrest at
Breakfast To-Day.

Daniel r. Kennedy, a well-known auc-
fioneer and business manager Of the loan
bureau conducted by st. Bartholomew s
Church Club. in East Forty-second
street, was held in $500 bail in Centre
Street Court to-day on charge of at
tempting TO kill by poison concealed in a
jar of cherries Mrs. Frances Schlesin-
ger, a plump and pleasing widow. Ken
nedy, who is tall, spare and fifty-nine
years old, protested to be little con-
cerned over the serious charge against
him, but he admitted that he was wor-
Red over what his wife would think
about it
Kennedy has been married thirty five
years, lives at No. 255 West Ninety
second street and has three grown chill
dren. BY his own confession he has been
on quite friendly terms with Mrs. Sches-
niger, who lives at No. is West One
Hundred and Seventh street for the past
three years.
Didn't Tell Wife.
An attempt by him to terminate the
friendship, he says, resulted in a de-
mand upon him for $500, which he re-
fused to pay. He admits sending Mrs.
Schlesinger jar of cherries on Nov. Is.
Kennedy was taken into custody
yesterday afternoon and managed to
secure bail. He went home last night
as usual, slept there and left the house
this morning after breakfast, without
saying anything 10 his family about his
arrest.
Mrs. Kennedy and her daughter do
not habitually read newspapers and
knew nothing of the trouble of the
head of the family until reporters called
at their home. The long accounts of
the charges against Kennedy stunned
his wife.
i never read of this Sohlesinger
woman before" declared Mrs. Kennedy,
f'and l cannot imagine how my husband
could have deceived me. He was the
most methodical of men. He spent
every night at home, except when bust
ness called him away, and went to
church every Sunday. l don't see how
he had time to call on another woman"
Assistant District-Attorney Murphy
appeared in the police court to prose-
cute Kennedy. and presented short
affidavit charging the prisoner with as
sault in the first degree. The amount
of bail was fixed upon by agreement be-
tween Mr.. Murphy and George Gordon
Battle, counsel for Kennedy.
A bond for $500 was furnished by
Charles Saul, proprietor of the Column
bia Warehouse Company. Kennedy S
employer. The case will be called again
next Tuesday when a chemical exam
ination of the jar of cherries in which
the poison is said TO be connected will
have been completed by DR.. Lederle.
Mrs. Schlesinger is the divorced wife
OF DR.. Stuart Schlesinger. of Vienna.
She is disciple of DIR. Hyslop. the ex-
pert in hypnotism, and says that she
tried mental suggestion in an effort TO
cure Kennedy of the drug habit, which,
Kennedy stoutly AYERS, he has never
contracted.
