Today deadlock is predicted that

hopelessly, in the event that he
should be balloted for, and this, it
is said, will mean his defeat.

Mr.. Smith has not only discussed
the senatorship with assembly mem
Der who have called voluntarily at
his office, but has sent for members
asking them to come there for the
purpose of talking over the senator
ship situation. His friends persist
in the statement that he is going to
be elected on the first ballot.
The truth is the governor is in a
very embarrassing position, as under
the circumstances he is likely, Wheth-
er his name is presented, to be put in
the attitude of having been defeated.
The situation as it has developed
has sent Terrell stock up considera-
bly, higher. At any rate, that is the
way his friends view the apparent

Catch the Disease. 600 Inmates
in the Leper Colony.
Hawaii has done more, perhaps,
than any other part of the world
toward conquering the disease of Iep-
rosy, says Charles Hemenway, spe-
cial attorney of the islands, now Wis
iting in the United States. 1t was
due to experiments made by Moses
Clegg, a chemist serving in the Phil
ippines, that successful cultures have
been made of bacilli of leprosy. 1t
had been found possible to segregate
the bacillus, but not until Mr.. Clegg
undertook his Investigations was it
possible to make cultures. Mr.. CIegg
is now working in cooperation with
DR.. Curry, of the United States ma
rine hospital service, in an effort to
discover a cure for leprosy, and it is
believed that they have almost sue
ceeded. Several cases of leprosy in
the detention hospital in Honolulu
have been pronounced cured. This
supposed cure is not a serum, but a.
method of freezing the diseased It's
sues and building up the healthy
flesh.
The dread that most people have
of leprosy is somewhat amusing to
persons who live in Hawaii, where
the disease is not looked upon with
so much horror. Doubtless the fear
OF leprosy has been largely due to
the fact that the scientific world has
heretofore known little about the
disease. 1t is not easily contracted,
as is generally believed. A normally
healthy person stands little chance
OF catching leprosy, There have been
many cases in Hawaii where Iepers
have lived for years with other per-
sons without spreading the disease.
Children of parents, both lepers, have
been born clean.
The leper colony in Hawaii has
about 900 persons who are probably
better provided for than lepers of
any other country. Since DR.. Curry
and Mr.. Tlegg have engaged in their
work in Hawaii a number of persons
have been discharged from Molokai,
the leper camp, because it was found
that they were not suffering from
the disease. do not mean to con-
vey the impression that leprosy is
not a dangerous disease, but it has
been proved to the satisfaction of
persons in Hawaii that it is not
nearly so virulent as smallpox, yell
low fever or other contagious dis
eases. There have been numerous
cases Of arrested leprosy, where the
person suffering from it has been
freed from it, the malady apparently
having run itself out.

A carved wood bed, armchair and
screen which were made for Marie
Antoinette at Versailles were offered
at auction in Paris recently at a re-

100000. There were no bids and
the articles were put up again last
week. They were bought in for $780,
600 francs, or about $4,000. They

Nobody seems to know just what
the governors strength is, such is the
alleged Reorganization of his forces.
The one emphatic view is that the
recent complications will unquestion-
ably bring about a deadlock, and that
it will take a good strong combina-

Just what that combination will be

LIVES ON 75 CENTS A WEEK. Aged Philadelphia Man Tells How Ii May Be Done and Spend Four
 Cents For Newspapers.

 His statement of expenditures during the last week, follows: One half peck of potatoes IS cents; six pounds of onions. 2i cents; two loaves of bread. 10 cents;f one can of condensed milk. Il cents: one soup bone, 8 cents; total n cents.

 He. .gave his name as Everard Star, seventy years old, of No. 235 South Eighth street. He is provided with a room by the Rev. Edward Yates pas tor of the First Presbyterian church, and the sevenity-five cents is allowed him by the Home Missionary society.

College Men Say They're Not So
 Bad As Painted

New Haven, Sept. 13.-The conclu- sions reached in the investigation made by Richard T. Crane. the Chica- amount of drunkenness and dissipa- tion among college men do not pass unchallenged by men who, unlike MT. Crane, have spent part of their lives in colleges. In the college clubs in this city there was considerable dis cussion yesterday of MT. Crane charges, which had been stated with 90 per cent. of the students at Har- ward drink in their freshman year and 90 per cent. in their senior year and that 15 per cent. go irretrievably to the bad.
 A few years ago a few members of the Illinois Legislature asked MT. Cranes advice on the question of iriv iversity of Illinois. He replied by let ter 'and advised 't1at instead of ap- propriating more money it would be d good thing for the state to put a torch to the buildings and burn them down and turn a furrow over them ,"
 Gov. Wilson of New Jersey said yes- terday: Without having read the ar ticle referred to, I can truthfully say that during the period of my observa- tions there was nothing so marked in college life as the improvement in the morals of the students. Particularly was this true in regard to drinking. :"
 The reporter then ventured the query: How about the assertion that the clamor among students at Prince that this cry has the call over stud ies.
 Governor Wilson replied: That is ab- solute nonsense"
 The governor dismissed MT. Cranes analysis of the alleged immoral and debauched condition in college life in two words, Perfectly absurd"
 By the official figures of the number who drink, compiled from the mem bersnip of each class, MT. Cranes statement is found to be very wrong Yale.
 In the class of 1908 out of 314 a total of 176 drink, a little over 50 per cent. In the class. of 1909 out of 2S3, students to the number of 115 do not use intoxfcants. The class of 1910, regarded as the "speediest," which had been at Vale in many years, gave statistics that 142 out of 311 men drink. In the class of 1911 the num- Der of men out of 308 who do not pr did not drink is 123 Il
 These figures are gathered from each class. There is no way in which a confession that he drinks pr denial that he does, can hinder ,r help a college man. The statistics are purely from statistical purposes and are looked on as accurate.
 During the past few years there has been an increasing sentiment ait Yale against drinking and the so-called "so- .iety system has frowned on men who do. At the chief university ban- luet of last year Secretary Anson Phelps Stokes spoke with, pride of the ittle drinking done at Yale.

Cromwell Farmer Writes A Book
 About The Devil

Jay Belden Stocking of Cromwell,
 who first jumped into the lime light by advertising for wife under the name of J. Belden, has blossomed out just published by New York con cern being Was It the Devil?. MT stocking stated a couple of months ago that he had received over 400 ap- plications from women who wanted to marry, but none of them suited him. ,
 No one suspected MT. Stocking of possessing the smouldering genius of am author, but he's there on word language stuff, and has written a book placed on the market by the Broad way Publishing Company.
 The Cromwell man is a farmer. Few, tillers of the soil are authors, all though some turn poets and now and then some farmer writes to the agri- cultural monthlies about his experi- ments with alfalfas. But J. Bedding Stocking has classical name and you shall hear more about him. Inci- dentally read what the Broadway Publishing company has to say about the Cromwell mans latest exploit:
 Was it the Devil?'' by Jay Belding Stocking.
 This is a most unique recountal of the history of remarkable family nHOSO ilI0lfloQdn CAp1O1lS dlfu c0fCu- lures make the most absorbing read. ing imaginable, while a multitude of anecdotes, grave and gay, interspers ed throughout with brilliant aptness, lend a. touch of great and striking originality. The book takes it's title from the spiritualistic experiences of one of the characters, the authenticity of which, by the way is vouched for by the author, and those who scoff as we'll as those who believe in such will be equally impress sed by the weird and inexpFicabie hap penings.
 The author possesses a charming gift of story telling and through the entire book, with its ever changing scenes and characters, the attention is engrossed and carried on with in- creased interest to the end
 The story is more than merely TO- mantle and for those who look deeper for their pleasure in reading the book will be one of never ending interest.
