GRIP ON RAILROAD MAN
David w Johnson Meherrn, Brought Richmond Hospital Tor
Trearnent--His Hands Parched and Legs Swollen-Con

hdent Doctors Can Cure.

Another pellagra patient has been
brought to Richmond for treatment.
The patient is Mr.. David w. john
son. Al years old, section foreman for
the Virginian railway, residing at
Meherrin. Va.
Mr.. johnson arrived at Memorial
hospital Tuesday and Is now under the
care OF a prominent Richmond ply
stefan He has unmistakable symp-
toms of the dread disease. his hands
being parched and scaly, while his
feet and the lower parts of his legs
are swollen. He has partly lost the
use of his feet but his general physical
condition is fairly good. His stomach
gives him some trouble at times.
1t was three years ago when the
disease made it's appearance. At that
time, Mr.. Johnson was section fore
man on the Chesapeake and Ohio,
making his home at 3 Louisiana ave-
nue.. Fulton, with his wife and several
children. The only symptom then
was a parched condition OF both
hands which made it's appearance in
the spring and disappeared in the fall.
Mr., Johnsons attending physician
diagnosed the case as simple sunburn
and paid little attention to 1t.
About the time the cutaneous affec-
ton of his hands disappeared that
fall. he moved to Meherrin to accept
a position with the Virginian railway.
He was troubled no more with the
disease until the following spring
when it again made Its appearance on
his hands. the parched condition ex-
tending an inch or two along the
wrists He experienced no special In
convenience that year with the disease
.
that II assumed a serious aspect. A
month or two after the hands became
parched as usual his legs began to
swell below The knees and his feet
became cold and also SWOLLEN. Call
ing in DIR. waiter Vest. OF Meherrin.
that physician began to suspect that
his patient had pellagra and few
days ago 1t was determined that he
had better come to Richmond for
special treatment.
A week ago. Mr.. Johnson's feet gave
| him so much trouble that for the
first time since the disease made Its
appearance he was obliged to absent
| himself from work. Within the las'
| day or two. his feet. instead OF being
abnormally cold. have been burning
and causing him much pain and dis
comfort.
| DR.. Vest first diagnosed the case al
muscular rheumatism but that theers
was soon abandoned. !.
At the hospital "Wednesday. Mr.
johnson appeared In cheerful spirit
and expressed the hope that the doc
tore would eventually effect cure II

patient at MeheIrtr had been cnres
recently and he saw ne reason why |
strong and able bodied man like him
self should not be cured. too.

NORFOLK, VA, August Sc. II.
Barnes, one of the principal owners
OF the big lumber mill which was
destroyed by fire at Millyille, Va. last
Saturday, returned to New York last
night after spending day and half
inspecting the ruins of his plant.
The damages. it is said. will aggre-
gate 100000 that the insurance was
very small and the company's loss
will be great. 1t is reported that the
mill will not be rebuilt, the ruin being
so complete. it would require the
outlay of too much money.
Mil No. /, owned by the same COM
pany, and which has a capacity double
that of the burned structure. is being

orders.

AUTOS ARE NOT ALWAYS
AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY

The statement sometimes made that
an automobile Is necessarily an expen-
sive possession to maintain meets a
striking refutation In the figures OBJ
tanned in several parts Of the country.
Records were obtained in various
parts OF the country of the repairs re-
CURED by Cadillac owners. In New
York. for Instance. this record was OBJ
tained from seventy-five owners. The
aggregate mileage for these seventy five
cars In the everyday goings and com
ings, was 39S,sS4 miles. The total re-
pair expense OF the seventy five cars
for this great mileage was S5321 an
average OF only II cents per car for the
season.
The records Mt Dayton, o., show a
repair cost even lower. In that city
fifty Cadillac owners drove their cars
l6S,5S0 miles, and the sum total spent
by the fifty for repairs was but S5.71
go that the average per car for the sea =
son is down to the surprising figure OF
l3 cents.
Sixty-siX Cadillac users In Indianap-
oils drove 252.b99 miles and spent ST. 80
for repairs. or an average OF sl,0S per
car.
Reducing the figures to general aver
age II is found that sixty-n nine cents COW
cred the expense for each car for the
season. or less than 16 cents for each
thousand miles for each OF the 191 care
which were driven total Of $40. os4
miles

OGDEN. Dec. 24.-Parallelng In many

MT. Hyde and DR.. Jekyu, John Anderson.
z would-be highwayman who attempted
TO hold up Deputy Sheriff Oren Hadlock
last Wednesday night, was given a hear
ing before a lunacy commission this
afternoon and committed to the State
Mental hospital az Provo.
Anderson, with a revolver In his hand,
attempted to roo the officer while the
latter was on his way TO his home early
in the evening. Instead OF throwing up
his hands. Hadlock grappled with Ander-
son. and after chase OF several blocks.
succeeded In placing him under arrest.
At the time Of his arrest. Anderson
showed remerkab BILE shrewdress. He gave
his name as Jack Smith. and after an In
vestigation It was found that he had hid
holdup, which ne intended TO use as a
disguise after his victim had been
robbed
Shortly after he he'd been lodged IN

Howell and Drs G. ", Green and e. II:
Smith this afternoon. the prisoner showed
every sign OF insanity. He stared with
vacant gaze on the revolver which he had
in mis- possession on the night OF the at
tempted robbery and failed to recognize
IL as his weapon. His whole demeanor
showed that he had entirely forgotten de-
tails of his crime. After an exhaustive
examination the physicians positively pro-
nounced him Insane.
Anderson shot himself in the head with
a revolver several years ago at his home
In Huntsville after disappointment In

positor may purchase insurance or an
apnuiJl from the postal savings bank
In regard to the withdrawal of funds
there is usually provision requiring
notice, which is not always insisted
upon. In the United Kingdom de
positor 'on presentation of his book
at any postoffice open for savings bank
business can withdraw Immediately a
sum not exceeding 81. - Larger
amounts may be Withdrawn upon re
ceipt of an answer to a telegram sent
TO the head office. Belgium allows de-
positors, upon presentation Of their
books, con the sole condition Of prov
ing their identity, to withdraw at any
postof1ice whatever sums not exceeding
100 francs" ($20). This provision is
extremely convenient for travellers.
Austria's System,
Austria has added an interesting
feature to its savings bank system in
allowing checking deposits TO be made
separate from the savings deposits. On
deposit of 100 crowns ($20) such an
account may be opened. This deposit
may be increased directly by the de.
positor OF by remittances by third
parties. For instance, suppose that
A wishes to pay B 20 crowns, both hav-
ing check accounts. A can send a
check on his account to the postal
savings bank in B s town. B's account
would be credited with the amount,
and B would be notified to that effect.
Thus the payment would be effected
without the use of cash by the use
Of book entries. During the year 1908
over $2.000.000 was transferred in this
manner. Holders of checking ac-
counts can make such transfers to "the
Levent, and through banks in Belgium
Germany. England, France, Italy and
Switzerland
The cost Of administration Of the
postal business varies from 023 Of l
per cent Of deposits in Italy to 1.25
per cent in Austria; the latter, how
ever, includes the cost Of the check
service. Nearly all countries make a
considerable profit from the system.

The locks OF the boxes in each case

strong instrument and the letters found

The lock OF every rif1ed box is also

that the thieves took away the locks for
the purpose OF having keys made. AS
all OF the locks used by the government
on its mail boxes are of uniform pattern,
Ii is evident that the thieves expect to
operate on a big scale In the larger
