DEATH OF WOMAN -
LAID TO PIANIST

NEW YORK. Sept 1.-The coroner
has held up the funeral OF Mrs ]. A.
Derr, pending an investigation into the
circumstances surrounding her death.
Her son. Frederick w. M. Thackeray.
a grand nephew of William Makepeace
Thackeray, and himself a writer of
note. has made allegations that Mrs.
Derr was held a prisoner and severely
maltreated by a widely advertised palm
list and clairvoyant whom she had con-
suited.
The burial certificate had been issued
on the statement in the death certifi-
cate that death had resulted from
phi thisis.
Mrs. Derr is said to save been in con-
vulsions when she reached her SON =
home, in Yonkers. on the evening of Au-
gust IL. Mr. Thackeray states that she
informed him and several others that
the palmist. whom she had consulted In
the hope of finding her lost husband, had
kept her prisoner in room for sew
eral hours.
When she was put to bed, her son
says. a number of severe bruises were
found on her body.
+ She became worse and the next day
was sent to a hospital. where she died
on Sunday.
Mr. Thackeray has informed the de-
tective bureau that shortly before his
mother died. she accused the palmist
and extracted from her son promise to
revenge her death.

PANAMA EARTHQUAKES
DON'T AFFECT CANAL

WASHINGTON. Aug. s1.-The EARTH
quake shock felt on the isthmus of Pan
anna yesterday renews interest in the
Walker commissions report to Presi-
dents Roosevelt in 1901. embracing a
comprehensive discussion OF the general
question OF earthquakes. volcanoes, etc.
on the isthmus of Panama.
The commission said that II was evi
dent that the entire isthmus was vol
canic region and that no portion OF 1t
was exempt from earthquakes.
Summarizing the result of its investi :
CATION, the commission stated briefly
that the works OF the canal will nearly
all OF them be underground. Even the
dams are low compared with the gen.
eral surface OF the country and with
their broad and massive foundations.
may be said to form part of the ground
itself. as they are intended to do. The
locks will be all founded upon rock.
IL does not seem that works of this kind
are in any serious danger of destruction
by earthquakes in a country where lofty
churches OF masonry have escaped with
a few minor injuries"
The opinion also was expressed that
such danger as existed from earth
ouakes was essentially the same for
both the Nicaragua and Panama routes
and that in neither case was II sufhcient
to prevent the construction or the canal
Twenty-eight earthquakes have oc-
CURED on the isthmus. Twelve or these
were recorded during the three years.
1854 1Sss and 1884. The only one that
could be called destructive, was that OF
1881 when nearly all the houses In Pan
anna were destroyed.

PUTS CONSERVATIVES
TO HARD LABOR

NEW YORK, Aug. a.-Following an
inspection OF sanitariums In Switzerland
and England, DR.. H.. M. Byggs, chief
medical adviser to the, department Of
health. has planned a vigorous and per-
haps sensational course of treatment for
the city's consumptive patients.
Heretofore the course of treatment has
been limited to plenty of fresh air and
lots of nourishing food But now the pa
tients will have to go to work, and the
harder the work. the more certain, It is
believed, will be their cure 80
The hospital at Otisville is in need of an
addition and the men patients will be put
to work as bod carriers and brick masons,
being compelled to labor as long and hard
as possible. Women patients must also do
manual labor OF the hardest kind, blowing
II able, and all other Kinds Of agricultural
work. They Will also be asked to do the
carpentering work on the new structure
at Otisville. Hereafter all patients must
sleep out of doors. even If the tempera-
ture is ten degrees below zero.

EAGLE, HELD IN TRUST
BY BANK, RELEASED

WASHINGTON. Aug. d.-An American
eagle will be deprived Of food to the value
of 80 cents as result Of the action Of
the acting comptroller of the currency.
Recently the receiver of a western bank
wrote to the comptroller asking for in
structions with regard to a most unusual
case. He stated that the bank held in
trust a splendid eagle and that included
in the daily expense of the institution
was an item Of so cents for meat with
which to feed the bird. He desired to
know what he was to do about it.
Acting Comptroller Kane. upon investi-
CATION, found that the laws of the state
in which the bank was located provide for
a fine of $40 to SIS for any person found
guilty of keeping an eagle in captivity.
He therefore advised the receiver to that
effect and instructed him to release the
bird Immediately.

President Taft is LOOKING forward TO
the beginning of the trip with mixed
emotions. He is anxious to visit the
various places included in his itinerary
ana is never happier than when travel
ing, but at the same time ne mas eX-
pressed himself as terribly sorry that
his vacation days are so soon TO end.
He appears in the best possible condi-
tion. He attributes this largely to the
uhysical culture exercise he INDUCES In
for an hour every morning before break
fast. and to the three hours spent every
forenoon on the links of either the Ny
opia or Essex club.
President Taft had an engagement this
afternoon to. see George H. Doty, chair
man. and Charles E. Groves, executive
secretary of the Massachusetts Republi-
can state committee. The call had no po-
litical significance.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion or the ear.
There is only one way 10 cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton OF the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when ii is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
