TRANSMISSION Saves Boy at probable
Cost of Others Life.
Yonkers, ~ Y, May 19.-As re-
suit of having a large quantity OF
blood transfused from his body into
the veins of his brother, Jesse NJ.
Cavanaugh, twenty-three years old, of
1G3 Woodwork avenue, is in a grave
condition, and it is feared that he may
die.
The brother, Fred Cavanaugh, aged
fifteen years, was brought from Sara
toga TWO weeks ago for treatment in
the Manhattan Eye and Ear hospital,
New York. He was suffering from
mastoiditis. An operation was per-
formed, but the bony sank rapidly,
and it was determined that the one
chance OF saving his life was by the
TRANSMISSION of blood.
Jesse Cavanaugh volunteered. A
quart of his blood was injected into
the dying boys arm. Fred Immediate
ly showed signs of improvement and
is now in a fair way to recovery.
Jesse, however rs of slender build
and could i'll afford to give so much
of his blood.

MADERO COINC'
TO MEXICO CITY
Will Help Government to Re-
store Peace.
DIAz MAY RESIGN MONEAY

Insurrecto Leader Will Retire as Pro-
visional President at the Same
Time-Peace Pact Will Be Signed
In Few Days.
FL PasO, Tex, May 19.-Peace tech.
nically reigns throughout Mexico. Five
days is the time fixed for the arms
tice, but before that time has expired
the men behind the scenes desclare
that the peace pact will be bound up
so hard and fast that all the revolu-
lions in Christendom couldn't break it.
Francisco |. Madero will go at once
to Mexico City to join Francisco de la
Barra. who is to become de facto pres
ident on the retirement of President
Diaz and Vice President Corral this
month in restoring normal conditions
and launching +he new governmental
Joint Madero-da la Barra government.
Madero, who wired Diaz congratula-
lions on his resignation, wired de la
Barra that he (Madero) would resign
as provisional president as soon as
Diaz is out and de la Barra takes Of
flee as acting president. Diaz may re-
sign on Monday.
News OF rebel activities are still re-
ceived from many regions, and in most
cases where the insurrectos have TAX
en- the towns they have been able to
restore normal conditions in remark
ably short time and preserve perfect
peace and quiet. The most severe
fighting is reported from Corsala, in
the state of Sinaloa, where the 400
fcderals defending the town fought a
bcsieging force of 400 rebels for over
twelve days. The federals had no time
to bury their dead, and the cOrpSeS
decOmpOsed under the tropical sun.
Throughout Sonora the insurrectos
are rapidly getting their government
into condition. Inasmuch as the fed
erals are all leaving the state, permis.
sion has been granted to repair the
railroads and all business will soon
be resumed.
Information from Chihuahua says
the federals and natives were over
joyed at receipt of the news of an
armistice, and further eIated when
they learned that repairs had COM
menced from Juarez on the railroad,
as the city has very few supplies and
a famine had threatened for days, to
say nothing OF the fear the people
felt for an attack on the city.
The revolutionary move is spreading
in the stae of Jalisco, and the entire
state, according to dispatches from
Guadalajara. is virtually in possession
of the rebels.
Gustavo 1adero, provisional secre-
tary OF the treasury, has telegraphed
the Banco National, at Mexico City,
asking for a loan of 100000. Since
nearly that sum of money has been
removed from the branch of the bark-
ing company in Juarez, the appffca-
t tt5fr f6f the f5fr Is c6tore ~
rare humor. 1t apparently is up to the
bank to make the loan or lose the
money.

PERSUADED SON
TO SHOOT Hill.
Lad Pulled Trigger Of Gun and
Killed Father.
WAS A WEALTHY FARMER
He kneIt On the Floor and Looked
Into MuzzIe of Gun, Telling Boy 1t
Was Not Loaded.

Greenwich, Conn, May ia trag-
edy that shocked this section occurred
on the farm OF Frederick Hustled,
welI-to-do farmer, forty-six years old.
During the absence of his wife and
two of his children he persuaded his
twelve-year-old son Lester to pull the
trigger of his shotgun, killing him in
stantly.
Hustled is believed to have become
crazed after years of toll. during which
he had paid off the farm mortgage
and for the first time in years saw
prospects OF life of ease.
Hustled owned a farm of eighty
acres at North Greenwich, and it is
said had lately refused an offer OF
$4,000 for the place. He was pros
porous and devoted his whole time to
his farm. He awoke from a nap and
told his wife that he felt queer, hav-
ing just had a bad dream.
Hustled sent his wife on an errand
to neighbor. Lester was in the gar
den and the other three children we've
at school Soon after Mrs. Hustled had
left the house her husband called Les
ter and asked him if he had seen a
hawk just fly over the chicken yard.
The boy said that he had not.
He called the boy to the kitchen,
and, picking up dOubIe-barrelel
shotgun which ne always kept loaded
in one corner OF the room, he laid it
on the kitchen table, told the boy to
pull the trigger, as he wanted to see
how it sounded.
The man kHelt on the floor on the
opposite side OF the table, cooked one
eye and looked directly into the muz-
zle of the gun, which was but four
inches away. The boy hesitated, and
his father said it isn't loaded, so the
boy snapped the triggers, but let them
go easily, holding them with his
thumb, and the piece didn't explode.
His father arose, took the rifle from
the table, cooked It again and laid it
back in the same position, while he
got on his knees and again looked into
the barrel 1t is not loaded; pull
the trigger and see how it sounds" re
again told the boy
The boy did SO, and the father drop
ped dead instantly, the whole left side
of his head blown off. Horrors stricken,
the lad rushed to his nearest ne3ghbor,
Daniel Ryan, and told him about what
he had done.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness Cannot be cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucou
lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inflamed you nav
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unles
the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out Of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured
