An Aged woman's RecoIIections

Dear SIR: AS so many people have
asked me to give them the exact dates
Of the cold Saturday night and the me-
teoric shower or the falling of the stars.
/ take this method of telling all who
read your valuable paper. / was then
IN the ninth year of my age and was
present at both. The cold Saturday was
on the 7th of February in 1888. A stage
driver I'm Habersham county, Georgia,
froze to death on his stage. Chickens
froze to death on the roost.
The meteoric shower or falling of the
stars was on the 18th of November, in
1898, also. About twelve O'Clock on that
memorable night my fathers family was
walked up to view the phenomenon.
My mother, being a brave woman, call
ed up her children to see the sight and
I myself was one of her children and
did witness the sight with my own eyes.
II was a beautiful sight, never to be for
gotten. l am nearly eighty-four years
of age. and the only living child OF my
fathers family William Anders was a
Revolutionary soldier, and am his
daughter.
Respectfully.
MRS. ANN MARIAN REDDING.

WHITE PLAGUE GERM
:, FOUND IN BLOOD!

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Jan. 6.-What is
considered by medical men to be the most
important discovery in the war against
tuberculosis since the finding Of the
tuberculosis bacillus by Koch, Is contain
ed in an announcement by Or. Randle c.
Rosenbergh, of the chair OF baeteriOlogy
at JEFFERSON Medical college. DIR. Rosen-
bergh declares that the tuberculosis germ
can be located in the blood before it
reaches the lungs. and that in view OF
this can be destroyed by very simple
treatment. BY fuse Of anti-toXine. he
thinks, the disease can be soon stamped
out yl 7J} A4i3 2t -ih - "+t'
A paper on DR. Rosenberghisi researches
is to appear in a medical journal. but the
results he says he has obtained were dis
cussed yesterday before the faculty of
jefferson college. In view OF professional
ethics. however the doctor. declined to
talk about his researches outside of med
zeal circles. ~
If the theory, that the tuberculosis
germs first make their appearance in the
blood of the patient is correct, It is be-
lieved that the injection Of anti toxine or
virus would prevent their. reaching the
lungs. practically rendering the patient
immune
IF this is all that is hoped for" said

lips Institute for Consumptives,- last
