Noted Texan Was Prepared to Protest
Against the Holding Up Of His
Pay But House Game to His
Rescue.

His friends used to call the late
Tom Ochiltree. congressman from the
Galveston (Tex) district in the early
eighties. Thomas Porterhouse Ochil-
tree. but that middle name was face
tious. probably due to the fact that
Tom Ochiltree was regarded in his
day as the best Judge OF good beef
steak to be found In Washington. To
day Tom Ochiltree is almost forgotten.
but for nearly twenty years he was a
national character. He was a man
who attracted attention wherever he
went. and on meeting him for the first
time one could not avoid admitting to
himself: Here Is one Of the most
astonishing personalities | have ever

Notwithstanding peculiar and in
dividual philosophy Of expression.
Ochiltree was one of the wittiest
kindliest. most sympathetic and most
original Of men. When General Grant
was president, he met the Texan. who

preston and the magnetism Of man
ner. which was almost hypnotic In its
effect upon many persons gained for
Ochiltree the friendship Of the presf-
dent. At the first opportunity General
Grant appointed him United States
marshal for the southern district OF
Texas.
In the early eighties the Galveston
district was still Republican. The
party nominated and elected Tom
Ochiltree to congress because ochil-
tree had al unusual gift for getting
anything his constituents wanted. and

garded in some quarters. His seat

New York.-Experiments carried on

that the virus of infantile paralysis is

The common house fly.
Il had been really understood the
poisonous element of the disease IA
transferred from those suffering from
it to persons brought in contact with
the patients; also that healthy persons
carry the virus from the sick to the
well But In thinly settled sections of
the country the disease has spread in
a manner that could not be accounted
for by any of the foregoing means of
transmission. This led to the sus-
picion that the common fly was the
carrier. and resulted in experiments
which have been and are still being
