Tardy Justice Done to Poe.
(WaShingtOn PoSt.)

At last Poe has come into his own
in his own land. Tardy justice has
been done him by his admission to the
Hall of Fame in the University OF
New York. He enters among good

whom he is by general consent easily
the first. and, like the rest. he VIII

his name and an appropriate quota
ton from some of his works. There
the Hall of Fame business ends.
The wonder. of course. to every
one outside the electors, is not that
he has now been admitted, but that
he was not admitted long ago. 1t is
81 years this month since he died,
under painful circumstances. at Bal
timore. When we consider the names
of some Of those who nave preceded
him to the Hall of Fame feeling
amounting almost to indignation is
aroused at the protracteC exclusion
of the man whom Tennyson described
as the finest literary product OF Am

Luckily. Poe is not dependant for his
fame on any chance vote of the col
lege presidents, professors, scientists,
pub!icists. editors. authors, and jurists,
who have now combined to show their
recognition of his genius. His monu-

| OF the new method of treating in

Accordingly it can be seen that
doctors are to blame for every bent
joint ana every crooked elbow that

we doctors treated fractures in the
manner in which we have been treat
ing inAamad joints | believe We would
be strung up to- the lamp posts. This
is pretty strong language. but this is
a heart-to-heart talk, and We must
tell the TRUTH
DIR. Murphy said that eight years
ago he became convinced that the
surgeon could make new joint much
after the manner that nature some
times makes it. much to the disgust
of the surgeon. when some substance
like piece of bone gets between the
surfaces. He conducted d series of
experiments. which proved that the
making of new joints was an easy
matter for the surgeon.
Having found out that I could
make new Joints" DR.. Murphy said.
u proceeded to try to make the dis
covery useless in the first instance b.
preventing the necessity for new
joints In this respect the research
has been wholly successful. as ancly-
losis from any cause except tubercu-
lOSiS never need occur"
The old method of treatment re-
quires the draining of the joint which.
Dr. Murphy declares transgresses all
laws of the human anatomy and
makes anchyloss all the more certain
to occur. The new method does away
with draining and puts out the fire
as soon as possible after its kindling

part Of the treatment consists of in
JectInc solution of foralin in eIycer-

applying extensions. thereby pulling
the bones apart and relieving the
pressure. This relieves the patient OF
pain, the old method of doing this
being to put the member in the easiest
position. which. in turn. resulted in
increased or aggravated anchylosls
Tine new method relieves tho pressure
and therefore relieves the inflammation

The Crippen Verdict.

Considering the less emotional, II
not less scrupulous, British conscience,
the conviction of DR.. Crippen comes
not IS "a surprise. Many innocent per-
sons have been put to death on the
strength OF circumstantial evidence,
and This has perhaps taken a strong :
CT hold upon the mind OF the aver
age American juror than upon the
British. 1t must be admitted that
there WAS a margin of doubt in the
case of DR.. Crippen, and d verdict en-
failing the death penalty would have
been much longer in being brought
about by an American jury. The rec
ord in the Crippen case Was five days
testimony and argument and thirty
minutes for conviction and sentence.
However much we may deplore the
sensational side of such cases and the
manner in which every disgusting in
cldert is brought out in American
courts. and reproduced by the press,
we cannot but feel that the benefit
of every doubt should be given the
accused and that the CELEBRITY tor
which English courts are-credlted may
not always contain that degree of eX-
act Justice which d slower process
our SYSTEM and that of the English
court is more marked in cases like
that of Dr. Crippen. where the evil
dence is purely circumstantial. There
seems to be wider difference as to
what constitutes a reasonable doubt
in the minds OF American ana Brit
ish jurors than would be supposed.
In the Crippen case. an American
Jury would have considered above all
things the fact that there was no
we'll established proof that Belle Ell
more is dead. There may be little
doubt in the minds of the jury that the
body found in the doctors cellar was
that of his wife but stranger things
than that the former actress should
yet turn up alive or have met her fate
in some other manner, have happened.
This point would have been considered
long and carefully by an American
jury. Another point in Crippen's
favor was that hyoscin. which it was
shown that he had purchased. is used
as drug as we'll as poison. and
hence might have been intended for
use. as he claimed. in his practice.

list of durable diseases.
The discovery was made by Dr.
john r. Murphy. and is tho result o,
eight years of secret and almost in.
cessant research and experiment. DR..
Murphy. who is President of the Am
erican Medical Association. recently
described the discovery for the first
time in an address before the sur
geons of the Erie Railroad.
The intricate operation. which in
wolves the substitution of new bone
in stiffened joints. dressing them
with live muscles and wiring them in
place. is expected to make thousands
of until now hopeless cripples whole

sort already have been performed
ard Dr. Murphy is of the opinion that
they will become common.
For more than two hours DR.. Muir
ply held the railroad surgeons spell

Two of the most common causes
of anchylosiS are said to be rhelma
tism and la grippe. In many sucl
cases DR. Murphy prevented the dread
results. and has been successful in
relieving the sufferers and giving
them new joints after the old-stylc
treatment had failed to effect a cure

secondary nature. but still important

Cold Contagious.

With the season of bad colds COM
ing on. most people will be Interested
in the following article from the Medl-
ca! and Surgical Journal, which fur
nishes proofs that colds are contagious,
and declares that the real danger Is
from germs and not from draughts.
This article says:
The common cold runs d more or
less definite course and generally eX-
tends from one portion of the mucous
membrane to another. The symptoms
depend on the region involved and the
severity OF the attack. and do not sud
denly arise and disappear, as with
hay fever. 1t seems to spread be-
tween people in close contact, and oc-
ours less frequently in summer than
in winter. 1t is little more common
in children than in adults. No SPECIFIC
organism has been found, but this Is
also true of some other diseases which
we know to be contagious The COM
iron belief is that it is due to chilling
of the skin, and hence often the op-
portunity for contagion is overlooked
There is much evidence to show that
colds are directly contagious. Epl-
denies of the disease occur, families
of children often remain all summer
without colds and have them en- re-
| turn to school: or if one member gets
| d cold in the summer the other mem
| berS of the family are likely to nave

at once. as would be the case if due
| to the weather, but they come in sue
| Cession. When there is no chance Tol
contagion, as in arctic explorations
| there are no colds. But colds make
| their appearance on arrival in port
in a warmer region. In Greenland
there are no colds, except when the1
| are brought by ship.

may be more eftectually prevented by

The Story Of the Apple.

A farmer picked this apple in his orchard
in the west
And put in a barrel with some others
of his best;
Because they were 50 splendid he de-
clared the price must climb
And SO he raised his figure on that bar
rel by a dime.
The man who bought that barrel stuck
a label on the top,
Then told the interviewers of shortage
in the crop:
And when he came to sell it to d buyer
on the floor
He added on his profit and half dol
lar more.
The man who shipped that barrel stuck
his label on it, too,
And talked of early freezes and the
damage that they do;
The man to whom he shipped it said the
growers price was high
And raised the price two dollars more
than in the days gone by.
The man who stored that barrel told OF
shortage in the pick
OF scale and other pests that make the
apple orchards sick,
And he put on five dollars to the cumu-
lative price
And SO it went. each handler taking out
his little slice.
Q, when you eat this apple NAV it fill
You with delight
10 know that someone profits on each
nlbb1e and each bite,
AND. q, be glad you do not live so very
far away
From where the apple started, for think
what you'd have to pay,
