Snake Venom for Epilepsy.

Down in the Texas Panhandle, five
years ago, a man was bitten by n
rattlesnake. The man was an epil-
eptic. He recovered from the poison
of the snake-bite Two years passed
and during al, that time there was no
recurrence Of the epilepsy, Before
the chance meeting with crotalus hor-
ridus on the Texas prairie he suffer
ed from epileptic spasms every two or
three days, writes A. st. Geo. Joyce
in Technical World magazine for Jan
uary. The strange coincidence be-
tween the bite of the rattlesnake and
the cure of the epilepsy was brought
t. tie attention of Texas physician,
who made statement of the case
which finally reached the attention o:
DR.. Thomas J. Mays and DR.. Ralph II
Spangler of Philadelphia. DR.. Spang.
Ter, chief of the medical clinic of the
Methodist Episcopal hospital of Phil
adelphia. had been experimenting
with rattlesnake venom in the treat
ment of the other diseases.
DR.. Spangler had several cases Of
epilepsy under his care, and. with
the Texas instance in mind, he de-
termined to try the effects of hypo-
dermic injections of solution OF
Ike dried venom of the rattlesnaka.
The reaction varied with each indi-
vidual but in each case there was
the characteristic swelling, discolora-
ton of the arm--where the venom was
injected and more or less sever pain.
BY the third or fourth day TIE symp-
toms disappeared and at the end Of
a week second injection was made,
at some distance from the first. Grad
ually, as with repeated treatments the
local symptoms became less marked,
the strength of the dose was increaS-
ed.
The effect on the epilepsy was
marked. Almost from the start the
number of attacks decreased The
treatment continued and at the end
of year all OF The patients were an
pare ntly cured. or, at the worst great
ly benefited. DR.. Spangler has so far
treated 10 patients and has admins
tered about 1000 injections of the |
venom. Institutions for the admins
tration of the venom treatment are !
TO be opened both in Germany and !
Philadelphia.

WILSON'S SELECTION
SLAP AT W|TTPENN
Governor Expected to Name
Sullivan, Despite Mayors
Wishes.
IFrom a stan Correspondents

TRENTON. n. J.. Feb. 1s-Goyer-
nor Wilson kept himself in seclusion
the greater part of the morning and
was in hiding in the State House away
from the executive chamber giving
consideration, it was understood. to
appointments. A large batch of ap-
pointments are expected to be sent
to the Senate some time today or this
evening.
One thing understood to be settled
much to the discomfort of Mayor
Wittpenn's forces is that former
Judge Mark A. Sullivan is TO be one
of the two Hudson county Common
Pleas judges. The other Is to be
former Assemblyman George Ten
nent. National Committeeman Huds-
peth is here trying to break up this
plan, but with little chances of sue
cess.
Representing Mayor Wittpenn, he
is opposed to the Sullivan appoint
ment, and favors City Attorney
James j Murphy fer one of the
county judges. This shift that is to
make Mr. sullivan one of the Hudson
county judges, ii is said, will result
i'm the appointment of Ralph Donges,
Of Camden as public utility commits
sioner, the place for which Judge
sullivan was first slated.

Only Three Voices
Are Raised in
Opposition.

At noon today Mayor Haussling
tion of paving Broad street with
wood block from Pointer street TO
Belleville avenue. A large number
of Broad street merchants and prop
erty-owners attended, and all spoke
in favor of wood block except Board
of Worlss Commissioner DR.. Charles
F. Krae'-sr..s tssr,11er Judge Thomas
S. Henry and Henry Mueller
Frederick T.. Ward, of Aaron Ward
& Sons, speaking in favor of wood
block pavement. said.
Broad street is not trucking
street. The street is what the mer-
chants have made it. Within the
past three years the merchants have
spent about 100000, merely in light
| ing the street. Let US he continued
to the mayor. take the responsibility
of the proposition on our own shoul-
ders''
ave honor your consistency in the
past but we think .thats any consist
ent efforts on your part against this
plan would work against the best in
terests of the street. Something will
have to be done. The railroads are
making great improvements from this,
city to New York, which will make
it easy for shoppers to go to New
York. Furthermore. granite block. in
my opinion, would not make a decent
street.
Broad street represents s44, 100000
| in property value >from Camp street
| to Belleville avenue. Fourteen and
| two-thirds per cent. of the city's taxes
are paid by the Broad street mer-
chants. Working on the same ratio
the merchants would pay from 70 to
| 70 per cent. of the cost of repairing
Broad street"
Following Mr.. Wards declaration
! in favor of wood block, Commissioner
Kraemer arose and said:
II am against the plan of repaving
Broad street with wood block. Grant
ing that Ia per cent. of the citys
taxes are paid by Broad street mer-
chants the other Sc per cent. of the
people in the city are against the
plan for the simple reason that they
haven't spoken against it. They were
given a chance to approve of it at the
recent meeting of the Board of Works
Commissioners; and 1 take it that as
they did not appear they must not
be in favor However, / am willing
to vote in favor of any compromise
| ravo~oent if I am proven to be in the
wrong"
No sooner had the commission fin
ished than Abraham Rothschild
| jumped to his feet and declared that
Commissioner Kraemer had no right
to assume that the rest of the voters
in the city, outside of the Broad street
merchants, were against the plan. He
stated that at the, meeting referred to
by Commissioner Kraemer eighteen
had been in favor of wood block and
only two appeared against it,
Pointing his finger at DR.. Kraemer,
he said:
TITS time you come down off your
high horse and do not consider your
self the God-chosen representative of
the people,
After hearing several other speak
ers, Mayor Haussling declared that

RAILROADS YIELD
TO ARBITRATION
AND AVERT STRIKE
Will Settle Dispute Of
Firemen Under
Erdman Act.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-The Eastern
railroads agreed today to arbitrate
the demands of the Brotherhood of
under the Erdman act This breaks
the deadlock
The decision of the roads was an
nounced in an official statement is
sued by Elisha Lee. as chairman of
the conference committee of man
ayers.
1.-THE managers feel says the
statement. that the public will not
tolerate a strike"
Mr.. Lees communication is adj
dressed to Judge Martin A. Knapp.
of the United states Commerce Court,
and G. W. W. Hanger. acting United
States commissione of labor. who
have been acting as mediators in the
dispute. It is as follows:
Want Hearings Open.
AT the urgent request of you, as
representative of the government, and
under the strongest protest We are
able to voice, the managers commit
tee agrees to arbitrate the tiremen's s
controversy under the Erdman act.
The managers also desire TO give no.
tice at this time that they shall earn
estly request that the hearings in
this arbitration be open to the public.
LAS the managers have stood out
to the limit against arbitration under
the Erdman act and as the govern
ment-ur the public-is responsible
for whatever the consequences may
be. the managers reiterate their prin-
cipal objections to the Erdman act.
These were pointed out by the board
of arbitration in the engineers case:
." .s-he responsibility which ulti-
nately would rest upon a third MEM
Der of an Erdman arbitration board
was too great to impose upon any one
man.
1.-The operation of the act is to set
tie a dispute rather than to adjudi-
cate a controversy.
1.-The arbitrators are three in num-
Der. Each side is represented by one
arbitrator. 1t rests therefore upon
the third arbitrator TO bring the other
two as nearly as possible together.
and if he cannot do so he must decide
between them. This is accomplished
by splitting differences. and the case
may be adjusted without az equate
investigation of the facts involved,
and the award may not rest upon a
basis of equity.
But the most fundamental defect
of the Erdman act is that the inter-
ests of the public are not guarded by
it,
I'VE also desire to call attention TO
the serious public danger of these re-
curing demands backed up by re-
peated demands that the railroads
arbitrate under the law
The whole situation is now in the
hands of the government and the
people. They have taken it out of
the hands of the managers at time
when the latter hoped to make a
stand for the public good.
The agreement 10 arbitrate was
promptly signed by both sides,
