WILL THWART
S|CKLES' PLAN
UNION GENERAL Is AROUSED
OVER EFFORTS OF HIS FAMILY
TO PREVENT HIM GIVING AWAY
HIS PROPERTY.
Special to The journal.

New York, Aug. 5.-The fighting
spirit Of Major General Daniel z.
Sickles, last of the surviving corps
commanders Of the Union army in the
civil war Of 1851 has been aroused by
the efforts of his daughter, Mrs. Eda
Sicl1les era ckenthorpe, wife of the sec
rotary of the British legation at Wen
ma, to enjoin him from giving away his
estate to institutions and philan-
thropies in which he has of late years
been much interested. The aged SOL
der, who has passed his eightieth
birthday, is very bitter toward the
members of his family from whom he
has been apart for thirty years and re-
sents their interference in the 'distri-
button Of his assets.
It has been suspected for some time
by the friends of the general that
realizing that he had but short time
to live he planned to turn over prac-
tically everything he owned to those
charities and institutions he intends
shall benefit by his fortune. This
would leave nothing for his heirs in
the event OF his death. No effort has
been made by the soldier to conceal
the fact that this is exactly what he
wants to do. for he knows that how
ever skillfully he may devise his will,
cutting his family off from inheriting
his estate, IL would be comparatively
contingency he is doing, during the re-
naming years Of his life, what he
would want done after he had gone, If
his plans could be carried out.
The suit brought by his daughter to
prohibit him from parting with any
more of his property will be fought to
the highest courts If necessary, the
general says. AS he is remarkably
keen in intellect, and 1t would be ex-
treemly difficult to sustain any claim,
such as is to be set up in this case,
that he is not competent to administer
his fortune, those friends whom he has
rallied around him are confident he
will win. Mrs. era ckenthorpe is a
child Of the general by his first and
only wife, to whom he was married
while United States minister TO Spain.
The couple agreed to disagree when he
left his post in Madrid to return to
the United States and have not lived
together in thirty years. His wife
who was the daughter Of a prominent
Spaniard, remained in Spain with her
two children who were brought ~ IN

Work Young Women
May Accomplish.

There Is a band OF young women in
Montgomery who have organized to
fight tuberculosis in that city and the
suburbs, and their work Is already
being felt. Considering the startling
figures which reveal the enormous
death rate caused by this one disease
there is hardly any cause which needs
the help Of a band OF young women
like this more than the sufferers from
this dread affliction.
The Journal does not know what
way the Montgomery women are going
to fight the disease, but it is supposed
that they will, whenever possible, give
help to those in the advanced stages
Of the disease as well as to see that
those becoming afflicted are given the
proper attention, for it is attention
most OF ell which cures tuberculosis.
Fresh air, delicate food, proper exer-
else and determination on the part Of
the patient to get well will cure almost
any case.
This disease has terrible hold upon
the American people and in almost
every case It is a result of carelessness
on the part of the patient or the
parents, and education IN the proven
ton is as badly needed as anything
else, and with proper instruction and
hard fight will completely. or prac-
tically. wipe out the disease.
Health conditions in Australia are
better than In any other country Of
the globe If the low death rate Of 1895
thousand year may be accepted as
an index
The death rate from tuberculosis has
steadily been declining during the past
25 years and now is less than 9 per
cent. Of the total deaths, which Is a
lower percentage than any published
by any other country which complies
it's statistics in an equally accurate
manner.
In New South Wales the notification
Of cases OF pulmonary and throat tu-
berculosis has been compulsory for
over ten years. The walls and ceilings
of houses in which cases occur are

Pensacola Ball Club

With one Of the best ball parks in
the country and with team that wins
a large percentage Of the games IT
plays, Pensacola people are fortunate
in the way OF outdoor amusements'

managers and the fans have forgotten
to give the club name.

managers about 1t, but asks the loyal

stunts out on the West Side diamond.

7. I. GATT|S
RETURNED TO
SANTA ROSA
MAN WHO IS CHARGED
WITH SERIOUS oFFENsE is
RETURNED TO MILTON BY
MARSHAL OF THAT TOWN.

VIM. Martin, marshal Of Milton, ar
rived in the city yesterday morning
having come here for T. z. Gattis, who
was arrested in this city Friday night
on advices received from Milton. Ac-
Cording to the telephone message re-
ceived in this city from Sheriff Collins,
of Santa Rosa county. Gattis was
wanted in that county on the charge
Of assault and attempted criminal as
sault.
No particulars were received in this
city concerning the matter, but Mr.
Gattis is a well and favorably known
turpentine operator Of that county and
is also well known in this city, so that
a number Of people here are interested
in the matter His friends believe him
innocent of the charge.
Marshal Martin left yesterday after
noon, but both the marshal and Gattis
were very reticent as to giving any
details in connection with the charge
on which the defendant Is held.

Whites Testimony
In Lorirner Case.

Charles A. White, confessed bribe-
tal1er and star witness in the Lorimer
investigation, is giving testimony that
is not any credit to himself, when he
admits that he not only accepted
brides, but tried to sell HIS information.
While his testimony is damaging to
himself and shows that he is a very
undesirable citizen, It also shows
what kind Of men the bribers selected
to do their work. White says in
taking the money he was not doing
any worse than the men who gave it
to him, or the trusts who furnished 1t,
or the ones who were elected by the
bribed voters.
In keeping UP with the Investigating
committee, one is impressed with the
rottenness of the Illinois political stu
alton and it is hard to see how the
committee can do other than decide
that Lorimer gained his election by
fraud.
Whites character is bad, but that
he is telling the whole truth no one
can doubt. The committee will prob
ably sift the testimony thoroughly and
decide the case as it should be decided.

ton Of corrosive sublimate.
The effectiveness of the educational
campaign is shown by the fact that
open air sleeping is More general than
In any country. There Is scarcely
dwelling house constructed nowadays
in Australia, even a laborer's cottage,
which is not provided with a suitable
veranda for outdoor sleeping. There
is very little expectorating on the
sidewalks or other public places.
Young women who are fortunate
enough to have good health and many
hours daily at their disposal, could
ind pleasure in doing something for
those who are less fortunate-those
who are slowly but surely dying be-
cause Of lack OF proper surroundings
and proper nourishment.
There is probably a dozen, or two
dozen, young women in Pensacola who
would like to cooperate in a move
ment Of this kind. but who have never
thought Of the amount of good they
may do. They can profit by the ex-
ample Of the Montgomery women and
join IN lending a helping hand to the
afflicted ones and spreading sunshine
among those who only see the clouds.
