A Quick vFittcd Doctor.

A French surgeon who walls once AZ
tending sultan resorted to an expe-
dent which. although ef1cacious.
might have resulted in his own death
He had been commissioned TO bleed
the grand seignior and either through
timidity or nervousness had met with
an awkward accident. The point OF
the lancet broke Off in the vein. and
the blood would not flow. That point
must be got out somehow. Without
stopping to consider the consequences
to himself, the surgeon gave his high
ness violent slap in the face. This
produced the desired effect, for sur
prise and indignation on the part of
his august patient put the blood into
violent circulation. The vein bled
freely. and the lancet point came out.
The bystanders were about to lay
hands on the surgeon when he said,
"First let me finish the operation and
bandage the wound" This done, he
threw himself at the feet of the sultan
and explained his action.
The sultan not only pardoned him.
but gave him handsome reward for
keeping his wits about him in a crit
zeal moment.

speech to the senate yesterday hap
Ply occasion for pointing the contrast
between the rush and insolence of
life in a great modern city and the
simplicity, grace and decorum that
characterized the best type of South
ern gentleman of former days. The
senate of the United States is prob
ably as sophisticated an audience as
the senator from Mississippi could
have chosen for his little homily on
charity, friendship, honest ambition,
and life in general. His address did
not suffer by that fact. Nor does
it suffer by contrast with the vol

Noel Made No Mistake.

He has been unique figure in pub
lie life. He lives according to a creed
which makes friends and few enc
mics. But of greater value to the
South is the impression he created
among the people who have not al
ways been friendly to this section.
He indicated in his own conduct that
the old barriers, which so long stood
between the South and greater pros
perity, have been banished. Such
men serve the ends of peace well.

.PELLEGRA IS
germ DISEASE
Prominent Man Of Medicine Thinks
Sand Flies Communicate The
Dread Disease to Man.

Sponsored by representative COM
mittee of Europes foremost medical
and scientific experts, determined
effort is to be made to trace the real
origin of pe'lagra, disease which
recently created wide discussion in
the United States, owing to the initial
assumption that one of its prime
causes was to be found in the con-
sumption of corn, especially when the
grain was in a damaged condition.
Under the auspices of this central or
ganization, DR.. L. w. Sambon, wao
now contends that the disease is
communicated to man probably by
sand flies, just as the sleeping sick
ness" is carried by the tse tse fly,
and his assistants will proceed to a
pellagrous area in order to carefully
and extensively investigate every
phase of the dread disease and seek
to find it's cure.
AS proof of surety with which this
inquiry is being set under way it is
announced that the directing commit
tee consists of such eminent men as
the Italian Ambassador in London,
the Marquis of San Giuliano; Sir
Thomas Clifford Allbutt, F. R. S.; Mr..
E. E. Austen, F. 2. s.; Mr.. P. w. Bas-
sett-Smith, fleet surgeon; Sir TAom-

A Fragrant Memory.

Let us lift our hats W the depart
ing senator from Mississippi In
deed, if our hearts be gentle and
kind, they also may be lifted as we
salute him hail and farewell. Be-
cause of a fight among younger men
for senatorial honors, he came from
the retirement of his country home
into the light of the national capitol.
With the close of the strife he gives
way to the young victor and retires
again to his fields. His day in the
senate was as short as the life of
summers rose; but it has left a
memory that is as sweet as its per-
fume.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Early Piety Not Always the Cause
of Badness.

Inasmuch as it is an accepted fact
that badness, falling hair and dan
druff are caused by a germ, doesn't
it stand to reason that the only. way
to prevent such calamities is to kill
the germs?
And doesn't it stand to reason that
the only way to kill these germs is
to use Partisan Sage, which HAYS
& FIELD have so much faitl in that
they guarantee it to cure dandruff

Partisan Sage is a delightful nair

not sticky or greasy, and contains only
those ingredients that will. surely

Prevalent Many Places.

For a considerable time past, it is
stated pellagra has prevailed extern
sively in Lombardy and other parts
of Northern Italy, in the Astaurias, in
Gascony, Roumania and Corfu. 1t
is common in Lower Egypt, where in
certain villages DR.. Sandwich found
as many as thirty-six per cent of the
inhabitants to be affected. DR.. La
inder found it still more common in
Upper Egypt. Drs Cuthbert Brown
ard G.. C. Low have recognized it in
Barbados, and several other authors
have mentioned it's occurrence among
the Zulus and Basutos of South Afri-
ca, while DR.. U. Ray observed sew
eral cases during brief stay in North
Behar in India.
An exchange of views by those gen
tlemen who form the Investigation
committee tended to the conclusion
that the malady is essentially of
chronic character and chiefly affects

Der of pellagrous peasants end their
days in lunatic asylums, while many
more drag out miserable existence
in their native villages. The
changes discovered after death have
been of such a character as to indi-
cate a general tissue degeneration,
more especially of the brain and
nervous system.
These theories may not be new to
investigators in the United States,
where the subject has been studied
much longer than it mas on this side
of tn Atlantic, but it is interesting,
perhaps, that this European commit

tendency of melancholy, imbecility or
mania and the curiously mummified

to the disease, and point to some spe-
cial cause for the group of symptoms
with which they are associated.

Monroe, La, March 3.-It is a
strange coincidence that decision in
volving an accounting for an estate
and an amount of 100000 should be
made against defendant, and that
within twenty-four hours the man
against whom the decision is render
cd should be gathered in by death
Yet such was the case with Capt.
L. D. McLain, who died yesterday
afternoon at o'clock, at his home
on Jackson street in this city, after
an illness of five days from pneumo-
mia. Not that there was anything
more than a coincidence in the two
occurrences, but it was one of those
unaccountable turns of fate that are
so unusual and that come at times
when they are least expected.
Captain McLain was one of the
wealthiest and most extensive planters
of north Louisiana. He was the first
president of the Monroe National,
which position he held until the con-
solidation of the Monroe and the
Ouachita National Banks, when his
brother-in-law was made president of
the combined institutions and he be-
came a director of the same

The General Assumption.

For many years it was assumed
that this cause was to be found in the
extensive use of maize, often of dam
aged maize as a staple article of diet
among the populations chiefly affect
ed, and this view derived FEASIBILITY
from the conditions existing in LON

try has consisted largely of the
more worthless varieties of this grain
Of their own growing, the produce
of poorly cultivated ground, sown late,
harvested before maturity, stored
carelessly in it's wet state and either
made into a sort of porridge or into
loaves, which were baked hastily on
the surface and left wet within, large
enough for a weeks consumption, and
apt to turn sour and moudly before
the week had expired.

Sambon believes that sand flies may
be the most probable carries of pella-
gra. DR.. Sambon, it may be added,
holds prominent place among the
investigators of blood parasites, both
in mankind and the lower animals,
and his suggestion has been accepted
as a highly probable one by skilled
observers in many of the countries in
which the disease is prevalent.

The Decision in the Eby Case.


1t was only the afternoon before
Capt. McLains death that Judge Madi-
son rendered a decision in the case
of Eby VS.. McLain, in which Mrs.
Stella Crosley Eby sued Capt. McLain
for an accounting of the Crosley es-
tate, in which suit she made demands
for property and money to the amount
of nearly 100000. The decision was
probably unknown to Captain McLain
at the time of his death, as he was too
i'll for the matter to be even preached
to him.
By the decision of Judge Madison,
Mrs Eby is awarded one-half inter-
est in the Cottonport plantation, the
Crosley residence and six acres of
land on which it is located, number
of lots in the town of West Monroe.

that Judge Gunby, her attorney, will
