"ELKIR OF LIFE" FOUND.
American Physicians May Get supply
From French Doctor.


Paris, France.-Dr Louis Doyen,
discoverer of an elixir of life,
which he claims will prolong the aver
age of human life from fifteen to
twenty years, announced that Amerl-
can physicians may now receive sup
plies of "nlycolisine," as he named the
discovery, for the purpose of making
experiments. Applications are to be
made to DR.. Doyen through the Amer
lean embassy in Paris.
DR.. Doyen claims for "mycolis1ne"
that it is a preventive OF disease, as
we'll as a cure. 1t is claimed it will
arrest almost Immediately such mala-
dies as colds in the head, sore throat
and grip and that in connection with
coadulation by electricity it will cause
the disappearance of cancer from the
body.
For the present, DR.. Doyen is I'M
willing to publish broadcast the com
position of his new elixir and the
process of manufacture. Some OF the
compounds, he says, are very rare and
are to be found only in certain parts
of the world and in certain seasons.
None of them are to be found IN
America.
Among tests which DR.. Doyen
claims have been made of "mycolis
inc" are cures of puerperal fever, af'
fected in the Purbio hospital, Madrid
by DR.. Gutierrez, physician to the
queen, and cures of four cases OF
typhoid fever and five cases of scar
let fever by DR.. easel, physician to
the prince of Monaco. In DR.. Casels
case, the "mycolisine" was used by
podermically, and in the typhoid cases
the fever was checked in from three
to six days. DR.. Doyen claims he and
his associates have observed the cura
tive effects of "mycolisine" in hun
dredS of cases

Newsy Paragraphs.

Good roads are regarded in Ger
many of the utmost Importance The
one subject now receiving greater at
tention than all others over there is
the treatment of streets and roads
for the purpose Of avoiding dust and
mud. The question of the building
of good roads has already been set,
tied. There are no other kind OF
roads in the empire.
King Albert of Belgium has APPROX
ed the plans of the ministry of the
colonies for reforms in the Belgion
congo. The changes will become eff
fective on July /, when large area
will be open to free commerce. The
reforms include reduction in the tax
es, which will be collected in money
and not paid by labor; substitution of
native for white officials; the restric-
lions of obligatory labor.
A rush has begun for the new gold
field discovered in Calcassieu and Yer

vein of 81 per cent pay dirt runs
through southwest Louisiana and cas-

the field the richest south of Alaska
and the government assay verifies his
claims.

INSURGENTS ARE PEEVISH.
G. 0. P. Rebels Are Greatly Enraged By the
Taunts of Speaker Cannon.

Washington, o. C.--The courage Of
the house insurgents has been brought
up to the sticking by the persistent
and repeated jibes and taunts OF the
speaker. They now openly declare
that before the end OF the present
session of congress they will proceed
to take the speakers scalp
Since the bitter TRADE of Speaker
Cannon following the rejection of the
house of the provisions for 81, 800 for
the up-keep OF the speakers automo-
bile, the insurgents have been wroth
The insurgents have endured about
as much haunting from the speaker
and suffered in silence about as long
as their pride will permit. Patience
has almost ceased to be a virtue. They
will do nothing for the present to in
terfere with the speedy passage or
legislation, for they have all along in
sisted upon their support OF the re-
publican administration program and
do not want to be put in the position
Of obstructionists.
But the deposition of Speaker Can
non has practically been decided upon.
1t will come before the session ends
and refute the prediction OF Speaker
Cannon that he will be speaker on
March next.
If the insurgents adhere to their
determination to vote with the demo-
Gratis to GUST Speaker Cannon, the pre-
diction is made that the house will
be deadlocked for many weeks. 1t will
be impossible for the insurgents and
the democrats to get together on d
candidate and it may be difficult for
the insurgents and the republicans to
agree to compromise. Some repub-
licans are figuring on the probability
Of the house adjourning without elect
ing a sneaker

TO PREVENT HOOK WORM.
Keep Feet off Ground Remedy for
Disease.


Chicago, lll.-The oldtime negro
shout, Keep yo' feet off de groun',"
is really an excellent prescription for
the prevention of hook worm infec-
ton, according to Dr.. Hollis b. Fris-
sell of the Rockefeller sanitary COM
mission, who has just completed a
tour of the southern states.
In advanced cases, where the
worm has done its worst, there is no
remedy, said Dr. Frissell. In all ordi-
nary cases, however, the proper treat
ment will cure in year or two. In
lection is largely through the foot,
and if the negroes and poor whites
can be cotton to wear shoes, the prin-
cipal cause of infection will be re-
moved. In some parts OF the south,
particularly where the soil is sandy,
fully 20 per cent of the poorer classes
are infected"
Or. Frissell said that with the ap-
plication of present knowledge of the
disease, the hook worm may soon be.
come a thing of the past.

MT. M'KINLEY CONQUERED.
Fairbanks Expedition Reached Sum
NIT Of Famous Mountain.

Fairbanks, Alaska.-The Fairbanks
expedition to Mount Mckinley, the
tallest peak in North America, reach
ed the summit April 3, after a climb
of one month from the base, it was
announced. No traces of DR.. FTeder-
ick A. Cooks alleged ascent were
found. The mountains height is 20
AGA feet.
The expedition, headed by Thomas
Lloyd, had DR.. Cooks maps and en-
deavored to follow his supposed route,
but utterly failed to verify any part
of his story of an ascent The climb
ing was fairly easy up to 10000 feet,
then there was 1000 feet over a steep
ice field and a quick dash to the sum-
nit There are two peaks of equal
height and on one of these, rocky and
wind-swept, the American flag was
planted

CANAL FORT|F|CATIONS
Protection OF Panama Canal Is
Planned BY Army Board.
Sites FOR FORTS SELECTED
The Canal Will Pay the Expenses Of Its Own
Fortifications- Army Expert Board
Returns From Wait to Isthmus.

Washington, D. C.-The Panama ca
nal Will have to. pay the expense OF
It's own Notifications. This appears
to be the opinion of the vanguard of
the army expert board wnich has just
arrived in Washington from Panama
after careful selection of the line of
the canal with special reference to
the selection of sites for the forts and
the determination of the extent of
the armament needed. The act of
1902, though much amended by sub
sequent legislation, would seem to
carry that Inference and consequently
the cost of fertilization will probably
be met by The issuance of Panama
canal bonds.
1t is impossible at present to state
the cost Of this work. In the first
place, while the commission has tenta.
lively selected the sites for the de-
lenses at both entrances of the canal
and at points along the line in the
interior where it is exposed to destruc-
tive attack, such as the Gatun dam
and the great mira flores locks, much
of this land belongs to private parties
and its value must be assured before
It can be acquired.
General Crozier, chief of ordnance;
General Marshall, chief Of engineers,
and Captain Embyck, an expert artil-
lery officer, are among those who re-
turned to Washington and as soon as
the remainder of the commission, now
on the isthmus, has returned to this
city, an effort will be made to pre-
pare the report, showing just what is
To tho cnmnlnta
defense of the canal Much heavy
ordnance, some Of it composed of IA
inch guns, probably will be required,
and as it takes a long time to make
these big guns and transport them
to the isthmus, put them in place and
erect the defensive earthworks and
concrete construction, it will be nee
essary to hasten the project in order
to insure it's completion by the date
the canal will be opened in 1914 or
1915.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE GROWING

| Cared For. SAYS Leader.

Washington, D. C.-Women Suffrage
in the United States is growing faster
than the national American Women
Suffrage Association can take care of
it, declared Rev. Anna Howard Shaw,
president of the organization, who ar
rived in the national capital to attend
the annual convention of the associa-

than pleased with the outlook.
Everything in the coming conven-
ton will be peaceful" she asserted.
Il see by some of the paper she
added, with a smile, that there will
be two warning factions and that there
will be hostilities between those who
favored militant method and those
who believe in a quiet, dignified cam

Supreme Court Reassigns Standard
Oil and Tobacco Cases to Calendar.
Washington, D. c. The United
State supreme court decided to give
q rehearing in the case of the Stand
ard Oil and Tobacco trust cases.
Chief Justice Fuller did not an.
nounce any decision further than to
state that the case had been reassign-
ed to the calendar. No reason was
given as to why this action was taken,
but it is assumed that the death of
the late Justice Brewer was the cause
of the courts action.
The general opinion around the
court was that the arguments will
not take place until Justice Brewers
successor is appointed.

American commander Immediately
sent TO him the above message, which
would mean the humiliation Of the
handful Of Madriz troops now remain
ing in this neighborhood.
A critical situation has thus arisen,
which may involve the United states.
but the American officers here are OF
the opinion that General Rivias will
not attempt to make good his threat in
an effort to collect customs duties.
There are constant rumors OF
threats against the life OF Thomas p.

Every modern civilized nation has
many and terrible problems to solve
within its own borders. problems that
arise not merely from juNtapOsition OF

from the circumstances Of both
poverty and riches. Each nation must
deal with these matters in it's own
fashion. and yet the spirit in which the
problem Is approached must ever be

AZ others as when a brave and nom
orable man is dealing with his Fellows.
Permit me to support this statement
ont of my own experience For nearly
eight years I was the head OF great
nation and charged especially with the
conduct Of it's foreign policy; and dur
ing those eight years I took no action
with reference to any other people on
the face Of the earth that would not
have felt justified in taking as an
individual in dealing with other inol-
viduals.
Eloquent Closing.
81 believe that we of the great civ
ilized nations Of today have right to
feel that long careers OF achievement
lie before our several countries. To
each OF US is vouchsafed the honorable
privilege of doing his part. however
small. in that work Let US strive
hardly for success. even IL by so doing
we risk failure, spurning the poorer
souls OF small endeavor who know
neither failure nor success. Let US hope
that our own blood shall continue in
the land. that Fur children and chill
dren's children to endless generations
shall rise to take our places and play
n mighty and dominant part in the
world But whether this be denied or
granted by the years we shall not see.
LET at least the satisfaction be ours
that we have carried onward the light
ed torch in our own day and genera
ton IL we do this. then. as our eyes
close and we go out into the darkness,
and other hands grasp the torch, al
least we can say that our part has been
borne well and valiantly.
