His Fiuht,

New York, Jan. 29.-According to a
statement made yesterday by Dr..
Nathaniel B. Potter, who with DR..
Joseph Blake has had charge of the
treatment of DR.. William Tillinghast
Bull, a remarkable change has been
accomplished by the use of serum In
the case of the famous surgeon. The
cancerous growth in DR.. Bulls throat
had dried up and disappeared. He Is
gaining strength by the day and on
Friday or Saturday will leave the city
for Savannah.
Two months ago DR.. Bull was taken
to the Plaza doomed man. The
ravages Of cancer had wrought a ter
rible change in his appearance. There
was no doubt about the cancerous ma
ture OF the growth in the surgeons
throat glands. Only the great surgeon
himself refused to accept his doom.
Day by day as his strength permitted,
he discussed his case with a multi
tude Of surgeons and specialists that
called upon him.

this case the apparently doomed pal
tient was the general who directed the

Chicago, Jan. 29.-At the resump

quest on the victims of the crib fire.
Coroner Hoffman and States Attorney
Wayman renewed their investigation
into the dangerous condition Of tho
crib prior to the fire in which almost
seventy lives were lost. The testimony
of many witnesses indicated that the
crib was firetrap and that frequently
it had been many hours without even
the meager protection of the tug which
rescued many Of the victims. Workt
men testified that the floor of the crib
had become oilsoaked through carelesa
handling of large oil receptacles.
The spread of the fire was declared
so rapid that it would have been ims
possible to save all the employees on
the crib, even if the tug had been

The new ambassador began his dip
lomatic career In 1899, when he was
made attache at Constantinople. From
Turkey he was transferred to the
foreign office In Berlin, after which
he advanced from one grade to anoth-

William as a result of his work In
ameliorating the existing Ill feeling
against Germany He drew up series
of lucid and comprehensive dispatches
on the situation. After four years.

Cairo. In the German diplomatic
service this post is regarded as a
stepping stone toward announcement.

members Of the diplomatic corps and
others prominent in Washington Off
cial life will go to New York next
week to attend the social events to be
given in honor Of Count Johanna
Heinrich Won Bernstorff, the new Ger

Count Won Sernstorff is recognized as
one of the leading diplomats of the
world and comes to America from
the German legation in Egypt. He
succeeds the late Baron Speck Won

One point which makes Count Won

CHICAGO MAN KILLS SELF LEAV-
ING PATHETIC FAREWELL
NOTE AS EXPLANATION

Chicago, Jan. 20. Robert M
Quigley died by his own hand yester-
day, a victim OF the hard economic
law which sanctions the survival OF
the fittest. He was an old man, he said
rejects the man with "a gray head"
The note, which contained a poig.
nant II unconscious protest against
the inexorable working Of this law,
was started, apparently, as a plea for
assistance to his brother. At the last
moment the courage to accept an
others bounty had been wanting,
and the old man took his life rather
than become the pensioner of his
kinsman.
The body was found yesterday in a
room Of his house at 936 North Fair
field avenue. The old man had inhaled
gas from an open jet. The unposted
letter, undated and written with
great care, was discovered in the fire
less stove. The letter explained that
its author, who was well known in
the vicinity, having been a precinct
committeeman had been driven TO
suicide by failure to procure work.
Lives Without Fire.
All through the winter he had lived
alone in the house without fire, hav
Ing no money with which to purchase
coal. His wife, who was a victim Of
rheumatism, he had sent to the house
Of their daughter, a Mrs. Charles Mon
ahan, SIT North Humboldt street., be-
cause she could not endure the cold.
Mrs, Monahan's husband, who has
been out of the city, was expected
back soon and Mrs. Quigley had told
her husband that she would remain
with her daughter no longer. She
would come back to him This was
the situation which the old man faced
when he started to write to his brotn-
er and then decided on suicide.
Charlotte Cuengs, the 16-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Mary Cuengs, a
boarding house keeper at 1247 Mari
anna street, vainly sought to take her
own life yesterday by shooting. The
weapon which she used was a small
rifle, the bullet from which penetrat-
ed her left side. Although the girl
became conscious shortly after she
had been taken to the German-Ameri-
can hospital, she was too weak to dis
close the motive for her act
Woman Hangs Self.
Mrs. Mary Britt, 81 years old, S21
West Twenty-second street, ended
her life by hanging in the basement
of her home yesterday morning. Her
husband had died recently, and she is
said to have been the victim of
chronic ill health.

DEAN OF ILLINOIS AGRICULTURE
AL COLLEGE WOULD I'M
PROVE RACES.

Chicago, Jan. 29.-Extraordinary ex-
| periments were related and radical
| measures advocated at one of the
largest meetings Of Chicago physicians
In the history of the city. which was
held at the Grand Pacific hotel on
| Wednesday, for the discussion of the
problems Of heredity.
DR.. Eugene Davenport, dean and di.
rector 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 improvement
Of the human race. His treatment Of
the subject was based not only on the
paper read to the meeting but also on
his own vast experience in meeting the
| practical problems of live stock breed
| ing.
| His chief proposal was that all the
| "culls" or "scalawagS" of the human
race should be taken before the courts.
scientifically investigated. and, If
found unworthy, colonized and allowed
to die off.
Experiments in lntermarriase.
Scarcely less interesting was the re-
cital Of DIR. w. L. Tower, professor of
zoology Of the University Of Chicago,
who told Of EXPERIMENTS in intermar-
Indians of southern Mexico. He an
nounced important scientific deduc-
tions arrived at as a result Of COM
pairing these with similar experiments
with different varieties of a certain
small South American beetle.
Other men who have devoted their
! lives to a study of heredity in pigeons,
| evening primroses, guinea pigs, turtle
doves, rabbits, and rats showed the re-
| emf C n
| of stereopticon views snd stuffed ami
mails, and drew theretrom interesting
| conclusions.
| The meeting was a joint one of the
| Physicians Club of Chicago and the
| Chicago Medical society for the pur-
pose of instructing the profession In
Chicago in the latest developments in
the study Of Baredity with the hope
that the knowledge might be of practi-
cal benefit to them in their daily work.
Would Improve Human Race.
| Not until Dean Davenport, who has
! taken breed of cows yielding $50

therefrom cows yielding 1000 pounds

cal human end of the problem taken

States Must Use Rights.

Evidently If the powers Of the
states are to be preserved and their
authority is to be continued, the states
must exercise their powers. The only
way to maintain the powers of gov
ernment is to govern. Let me say that
the men who make the most noise
about state rights are apt to be the
men who are the most willing and the
most desirous to have the national gov
ernment step In and usurp the func-
tons of state when there is an ap-
preparation carrying with it the usurp-
alton.
