MAN LIVES
PHYSICIANS SAID THAT HE WAS
DEAD, BUT IT LOOKS
LIKE HE is NOT.

ST. PAUL, Minn.-Should the
most skillful surgeons and physicians
of the city who for thirty hours have
been heroically fighting for the life
of Joseph Modrzegeuka succeed
science will have triumphed over
death, and there will be a proven
case of a man dead being brought
back to life again. Hour after hour
the unequal struggle continues, and
the latest reports from st. Joseph S
hospital indicate that the grip of
death is being loosened and that the
young man, electrocuted by a ter
rife current, has a fighting chance.
Modrzegeuka was a workman in the
big Great Northern shops, IS years
of age and of powerful build. In
feeding a heavy bar of iron into a
motor driven machine in some I'M
known way he completed a short
circuit and the full power of $50
volts of alternating current was
transmitted through his body to the
ground. He was picked up appar-
entity dead, and Dr.. Stern, who was
Immediately called, pronounced life
extinct. Then began the wierdest
sequence of which a human was ever
victim
The body was removed to the city
morgue, but a few hours later, at
the orders of the parents, was trans
ferred to the rooms of an under
taker for preparation for burial The
corpse was laid out upon a slab and
the undertaken was beginning his
gruesome work when Deputy Coroner
Murphy arrived to make the usual
examination and certify to death
Something in the appearance Of the
flesh of the corpse aroused his in
terest. In a few minutes he gave
rush orders to summon the most
skillful physicians in the city, and at
once made slight incisiOns in the
flesh. Blood flowed, CLOTHING upon
the skin. Other tests were applied,
and before the wondering physicians
every known test to determine death
was applied. Science declared that
the body contained life.
The undertaken was dismissed and
the body hastily protected and taken
instantly to the operating room of
the big hospital, where oxygen tanks
and electrical heating apparatus
which lay an impelling grasp upon
the heart and force the muscles of
the lungs to action were brought into
action. After many hours unmistak-
able action of the principal vital or
gans was detected. The fight con-
tinues hour by hour, and at the bed
side are the most skillful men of
science who could be summoned
Should the battle succeed it will be
case of the dead raised again to
life and action.

GAVE BLOOD TO SAVE NEGREss.
First Instance of This Kind on Rec.
ord in This Country.

A New York dispatch says: What
is believed to be the first case of
blood TRANSMISSION from a white man
to negress was brought to a sue
cessful issue here today at Bellevue
hospital. The patient, Julia Her
ring, 25-year-old negress, was
brought to the hospital suffering
from internal hemorrhage. The sur
geons in attendance decide that the
only hope of saving her life lay in
the transformation of new blood.
The situation was explained to the
orderlies of the hospital by DR.. Gel
ser, the surgeon in charge of the
case, and an appeal made by him
that some one among them volun-
teer to save the woman's life.
Several offered their blood, and
Gustav Labrink, Is years old, en-
ployed at the hospital as a messen-
ger, was chosen for the operation.
About pint of the white man'
blood was transfused. The negress,

ONLY KISS CAN BREAK SPELL
STRANGE MANS FACE INDELI-
BLY PRINTED ON HER MEM
DRY, SAYS MISS GERBER.

ALLENTOWN, Pa.-Still insisting
that she is under the hypnotic in
iuence of handsome stranger
whom she met on board a train while
travelling from her home in Chicago
to this city, and that she cannot be
released from her spell until she has
again met and kissed the man, Miss
Alice Gerber, whose case is puzzling
the local doctors, was this afternoon
removed from a private sanitarium
in this city, where she has been un-
der the care of nurses since Friday
night, to the home of her brother,
Morris Gerber, in South Bethlehem.
There is little improvement in the
young woman's condition, and while
she is at times rational she soon re-
lapses into state of hysteria, re-
sembling a trance. During these
periods her body is rigid as if in
death, and the administration of pow
erful restOratives is necessary to re-
yive her. THAT mans face is so in
delibly imprinted upon my memory, -
declared Miss Gerber today, that
it is simply impossible to escape it..
He accompanied me all the way from
Chicago to Allentown, and when |
left the train he told me that he
would return on Monday afternoon
and remove the spell with a kiss. "
Miss Gerber was on her way to
Boston, where she was to be married
next Wednesday to Charles Burnett,
a wealthy broker, whom she met
some months ago in Chicago. 1t is
declared that the match was made
by some of her close relatives, and
that the young woman intended to
become the bride of Burnett against
her wishes, having a wooer in Chica-
go who had asked her to marry him
and whom she prefers to the Boston
man. Her relatives insistence that
she should become the wife of the
broker, the physicians who are at
tending her declare, is partly respon-
sible for her condition.

White Convict About to Be WhipDed
at Arlington Assaulted
the Informer.

A white convict by the name of
Ezelle, now serving out a five-year
sentence at the Stetson Lumber Com
pany's saw mill at Arlington, made
an unsuccessful attempt to end the
life of J. E. Poppel, the conductor
on the log train of the lumber com
pany.
Ezelle had been reported to War
den Woods on charges that demand
ed whipping, and when the warden
went after him, telling him to come
with him for the purpose of being
whipped, he remarked that he would
come, but would kill Popped before
he came, and before either of the
men could act he had struck at Pom
pei with hand saw, aiming at the
conductors head. Poppel saw him

Ezelle evidently intended to kill
him, as he was barely prevented
from splitting his head open. His
motive is believed to be that he
thought Poppel had reported him to
the warden.
Ezelle was sent up from Macon a
year or so ago for Killing a machin-
ist under whom he was working in

CONVENTION IN A CHURCH
1t Was Held in the Interest of the
Ship Subsidy Scheme. Mixing
Politics With Religion.

A New York dispatch says the first
of five meetings to be devoted to the
advancement of the interests of the
American merchant marine was held
Monday night in the Metropolitan
temple of that city, of which the Rev.
John Wesley Hill is pastor. The
meetings are being held under the
auspices of the National Merchant
Marine League.
Letters from President Roosevelt
and President-elect Taft commend
ing the purpose of the meetings,
which is the stimulation of public in
terest in the growth of the merchant
marine, were read. Among the prom
inent men taking part in the con-
ference are the Hon. James r. Nc
Cleary, representative from Mime
sofa; John Barrett, director of the
bureau of American republics; Hen
~ Clews. Leslie NJ. Shaw, John j..
McCook and Myron T. Herrick. One
purpose of the conference is the adj
vocacy of legislation compelling the
carrying of American mail to Europe
and elsewhere in American ships
The members of the league generally
favor the ship subsidy plan.
The pastor of the temple is in ia
vor of the mixture of politics and
economics with religion, with a view
to the uplifting of the former. With
that end in view he has invited the
promoters of meetings of public in
terest to hold them in the temple.
The principal speaker Monday
night was Congressman Humphreys
of Washington.

After Trip Costing 500, 100000.

Now that the Atlantic battleship
fleet is on its way hOme-will in fact

fail-the question whether the bene-
fits the fleet has derived from the trip
are worth the cost of it will be pref
ty generally discussed. 1t is esti-
mated that the entire cost to the
American people will be about 500
100000 by the time the trip is fin
ished. Of course all of this vast sum
will not be spent in repairs. There
have been enormous expenses at the
various ports at which the fleet has
stopped and the 10000 men of the
fleet have spent in foreign countries
a great deal of money which they
would have spent at nome if the trip
around the world hadn't been made.

LAW OF HEREDITY IS FIXED. DEAN OF AG
RICULTURAL COLLEGE ADVOCATES 1T.

Extraordinary expert
ments were related and radical meas
ures advocated at one of the largest
meetings of Chicago physicians in the
history of the city for the discussion
OF the problems of heredity.
DR.. Eugene Davenport, dean and
director of the College of Agriculture
of the University of Illinois, created
a great sensation among the several
hundred doctors when he advocated
the application of the fundamental
principles of eugenics for improve
ment of the human race. His treat
ment of the subject was based not
only on the paper read to the meet
ing, but also on his own vast expe-
rtence in meeting the practical rob-
lens of live stock breeding.
His chief proposal was that all the
'culls' or "scalawags" of the human
race should be taken before the
courts, scientifically investigated,

recital of DR.. w. l.. Tower, professor

He announced important scientific
deductions arrived at as a result of
comparing these with similar exper-
iments with different varieties of a

I Other men who have devoted their
lives to study of heredity in pig
cons, evening primroses, guinea pigs,
turtle doves, rabbits and rats showed
the results of their experiments in
the form of stereOpticon views and
stuffed animals, and drew therefrom
interesting conclusions.

TAX TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
The Nigh License i'm Cuthbert Is
Increased &O.O5O.

Increased $0,95O.
Cuthbert's city council was greet
ed Tuesday night at their regular
monthly meeting by the Ministerial
Union of the city, being composed
of Revs. S. w. DuBose, chairman;
j. E. Seals, secretary; J. F. Eden
and j. w. Malone, all of whom were
present. The object of their visit
was to protest against the near beer
saloons in Cuthbert. All the minis
ters spoke on the subject, and all
were honest, earnest and sincere in
their talks, believing that the foamy
suds are hurtful and detrimental in
its effects to the drinker, and menac-
ing to sobriety, and has an immoral
influence upon the youth of our city.
Learning that the city had already
issued two licenses for the sale of
the near beer for the present year,
which cannot be revoked except in
case the conditions under which they
were granted be violated, the Union
urged the council to pass an ordi.
nance fixing the sale of the stuff
from $50 to $4,000 per annum in
the future.
The council complied with this re-
quest, and raised the tax to $4,000,
which virtually means that no more
near beer saloons will be operated in
