DIR. Wiley on Alcohol and Drugs

l think there is a marked tendency
in the profession to regard the virtues
of alcohol as very questionable. The
old idea that if one is going to expose
himself to extreme danger or extremes
of climatic conditions, the body should
be fortified by the use of alcohol, has
disappeared. 1t is quite certain now
that alcohol does not make one less
apt to free e, but more so, and that it
does not give any such amount of en-
ergy as to be at all compensatory for
the injury it may produce. On the wit
ness stand | have stated that / con-
sidered alcohol a food because a cor
tain quantity of it is burned in the
body, with the production of heat and
energy. In the light of recent investi-
cations, however, and from theoretic
considerations, l am inclined to the
opinion that the effort TO rid the body
of even the small quantity Of alcohol
mentioned may, perhaps, consume a
great deal more energy than is fur
nished by its combustion, and that, on
the whole, it can not be regarded as a
food, even in the limited sense here
described. The susceptibility to GER
tain diseases of persons addicted to al
cohol has been noted by many writer's.
and the record of deaths by sunstroke
indicate that a very large percentage
of the victims are alcoholics. The ten
dency which alcohol has to weaken the
bodily resistance, therefore, is a mat
ter not to be left out of considera tion.
The general result of the study of this
problem has been an accelerated move
ment to restrict the use of alcohol in
medical practice, and especially in hos
pital service Both as a means of pre-
venting disease and as a remedy, this
agent is rapidly falling into disrepute,
so that it bids fair to become merely a
memory in our materia medica and the
pharmacopeia.

MARINES HOLD MANAGUA
But Surrounded and Greatly Outnum-
bered-TwO Americans Murdered
In a Hospital

Washington, Aug. 23.-Undeterred by
talk in the Senate of projected resolu-
tions regarding the constitutionality of
the landing of American sailors and
marines in Nicaragua, the navy depart
ment, at the request of the state de-
partment, has dispatched peremptory
orders TO navy yards on two sides of
the continent TO rush reinforcements
to the naval forces now located far in
the interior of the insurrection-torn
country. Fear that the forces there
now are in danger of annilihation at
the hands Of the insurgents prompted
the order. Government officials are
satisfied that they are acting COM
pletely within their rights in landing
the sailors and marines and that this
does not constitute an act of war, such
as can only be authorized by Congress.
Two Americans Murdered
Washington, Aug. 23.-Two -Ameri-
cans are said to have been deliberate
ly murdered in the massacre of Mic
aragua troops by rebels at Leon on
August 19. One is said to have been
Harvey Dodd of Mississippi, and the
other a man named Phillips. The two
had been wounded and were seeking
refuge at hospital, wnen killed.
Slaughter Of Federal Soldiers
The massacre of some 500 loyal Mic
araguan troops by rebels at Leon Mon
day night, is fully confirmed in a be-
lated dispatch received by tho state
department from the American lega-
tion at Managua. The fighting was
more disastrous and bloody than was
at first reported. The rebels refused
quarter to the federals, when they
greatly outnumbered, and annihilated
the entire force of 500 men except
three or four, who managed to get
rebel uniforms and by this means were
able to get out of Leon and make their
way TO Managua with the news

TO FLOW FOR
 BURIED LOOT
Convict Says swag from Many Cities, Including Bridgeport, is Cached In Vacant Lot.

Hartford, July 5.-The Hartford police will plough a vacant lot on Woodland street in the hope of find ing $6,000 worth of jewelry, which was stolen last November from the residence of Dr. E. Terry Smith, an eye specialist, while, he and his wife were dining at the Pennington Coun- try club. William Castlehaven, a ne- gro, serving sentence of from seven to. ten years in prison at Charlestown, Mass, for robberies in Long Meadow and Springqeld, says he robbed pr. Smiths house and buried the loot in the lot.
 In the confession, which was ob- tained by Detective John Hickey of Springfield, Castlehaven implicated a negress named Mary Burton, who is employed as a domestic near Dr.
 mlth's home on Cone street. The Smith robbery was one of the most baffling that Hartford has known and it's circumstances and characteristics were identical with those reported by cities, notably the footing of another eye specialists house in Bridgeport.
 Castlehaven said he used the Bur- ton girl as lookout while he enter ed a rear window and rif1eds the up- per floors of all the smaller valuable silver and jewelry. Ills said he used the negress in several other jobs in this vicinity. but the Hartford police after arresting her yesterday released her after becoming convinced that she knew nothing of the robberies.
 Castlehaven says that the loot from various New England cities is cached in the lot on Woodland street, which is now overrun with wild grass and weeds

GEN. FELIX AGNUS, 73, DEAN
 OF AMERICAN JOURNALISTS

Col. "Marse Henry Watterson. of the Louisville Courier-Journal, Is usually accorded the honor of being the dean of American journalism. In the matter of long and distinguished service in the newspaper field the eminent Kentucky colonel is doubt less entitled to the deaning job. In respect to years, however, the title belongs to General Felix Agnus, the veteran editor and publisher of the Baltimore American who is the re- cipient of congratulations on his sew enty-third birthday. Gen. Agnus is a little over seven months the senior of Col. Watterson, besides being his superior in military, rank, and is near ly two years older than James Cor don Bennett, the venerable editor and proprietor of the New York Herald
 Lyons France, was the birthplace of Gen. Agnus, but as a future citi- zen of the United States he celebrated the Fourth of July by being born on that date. His parents were we'll to do and he was given good educa- tion at the College Jolie Clair, near four years in travel, encircling the globe. His military service began when he was young man, and ne was a volunteer under the third Napoleon in the Franco-Austrian war, and also served under Garfbaldi, the Italian patriot, Tn the nylng CD. rps.
 Gen. Agnus came to America in 1860 and on the outbreak of the civil war, in 1861, he enlisted as 8 sergeant in Duryea's Fifth New York Zouaves. In September he was advanced to the grade of second lieutenant for his gal lantry in saving the life of Gen. Jud

DANGEROUS RAILROADING

The need of America is a safe and sane system of railroad operation, a system in which men and women with their little ones can go upon a journey with measurable chance ot returning alive.
 The collision between the Lackawan- Ina express and the excursion train. at Gibson, New York, this morning, at 5:1O, is one of those occurrences which happening once in great while, might be. regarded as unavoid- able, but which. happening at fre- quent intervals. is the bloody signal of the avarice for dividends, the mark of the beast set upon the forehead of railroad managers in this country. ;.

He took part in the siege of Port Hudson, La.,/ and afterward was promoted to major and lieuten- ant-colonel Next he served in the Nineteenth Corps under Sheridan and in the Department of the South, d1s- playing such ability and bravery that he was brevetted brigadier general or volunteers. His title was not all he had to show for his service. for he was twice seriously wounded, first at the battle of Gaines Mill in 1862 and again at Port Hudson. ~
 When the cruel war was over Gen. Angus was rewarded with the ap- poirltment as assistant assessor of in- ternal revenue in Baltimore, but soon left the government service for the newspaper field Becoming business manager of the Baltimore American, he was not long in making his inftu- ence felt and soon became editor and publisher.
 As a Republican, Gen. Angus has been prominent in Maryland politics. He supported Taft in the recent un- pleasantness, and for that reason d1d not go to Chicago as a delegate at large. as has been his custom for many years. Although several high positions have been urged upon him, Gen. Angus has never held public of foe President Mckinley offered the veteran Baltimore editor the portfolio of Secretary of War, and President Harrison sought to reward him with the post, of ambassador to Russia. The General refused both offers, as he has numerous others, declaring that the supervision of his newspaper prop erty required all his time and atten- tion. Tn. 1904 Gen. Angus supported Col. Roosevelt for the nomination, but this year he used all the influence Of his newspaper to get Maryland's sup port for President Taft. The Baltf- more News, the property of Frank A Munsey. supported Col. Roosevelt, and the News won
