CATALPA TO RESCUE
Death Of Captain Anthony Re-
calls Famous Event.
Thrilling Story Of Release Of Six
Fsnian Prisoners From British
Penal Colony in Australia
Many Years Ago.

New Bedford, Mass.-There died re
Gently at New Bedford, Mass, an old
skipper, Capt George 8. Anthony
whose name is indissolubly linked
with famous exploit and whose mem
ory will long be treasured by Irish
men. He commanded the Catalpa in
its daring rescue Of six Irish political
prisoners from the convict station OF
Freemantle, western Australia, under
the frowning guns of British cruiser,
and landed them safely in this coun-
try. The men were former soldiers in
the English service, who like many
others of their kind had been won over
to the cause Of Irish nationalism dur
ing the Fenian agitation Of the SOS.
Fifteen Of these soldiers we're arrested
and convicted Of treason and SEN
fenced to various terms Of imprison-
ment at Freemantle. Among the num-
Der was John Boyle 0Rellly, who,
soon after reaching Freemantle, eff
fected his escape and, coming to this
country, became noted as a writer,
lecturer and poet. Others among the
Is, with the exception of six, served
out their terms The six who remained
had been sentenced for life and in
1874 Q movement for rescuing them
was begun by the Clan-na-Gael, the
successor of the Irish Revolutionary
Brotherhood, which had slowly devel-
oped after the collapse Of the Fenian
government.
In 1875 the whaler Catalpa was pur-
chased by the Clan-na-Gael and placed
in command OF Captain Anthony, who
undertook the difficult and dangerous
mission with eagerness.
Meantime Breslin, Thomas Des-
mond of San Francisco and agents
Of the Clan-na-Gael, were making ac-
tive preparation In Australia for the
release of the convicts. Breslin and
Desmond, under assumed names, posed

ter into communication with the six
Fenian prisoners. They explored the
country about and fixed upon Rocking
ham, % miles from Freemantle, as the
place where the boat Of the Catalpa
should land and take OF the eoRvicts.
After the Catalpa had put in at Bun
bury, Breslin fastened from Freeman

quickly introduced" to him in the
hotel. Condolences were exchanged
and plans of release discussed. While

FIND EPILEPSY CURE
RattIesnake Poison Used With
Success by Doctors.
Patients Given Up as Hopeless Bsns-
flied, Though Injection ls Painful
In Some lnstanees-ReeoVery
In Many Cases.

New Curing Epilepsy with
hypOdermic injections q rattlesnake
venom is the achievement OF DR., Ed
ward e. Hicks of this city, specialist
in mental and nervous diseases and a
prominent alienist, who for several
months. 1t has just come to light, has
been successfully experimenting at
the Swedish hospital. Out Of twenty
cases he has treated for this malady
only one has failed to respond, and
yet there Is not the slightest doubt in
the minds of the physicians who have
watched Doctor Hicks experiments
that permanent cure can be effected
by injections Of snake poison.
Marvellous results attended his
treatment from the very start. and OF
the twenty epileptics who submitted
to the artificial snake bites only one
suffered violent spasms after being in.
jected with the venom. The other
nineteen have had few occurrences,
and within year they will be abso-
lutely cured, Doctor Hicks said, pro
vided they receive the hypodermic in
iections Of venom at regular intervals.
The discovery Of snake venom as
cure for epilepsy was made by Dr..
Ralph H. Spangler, a distinguished
Philadelphia physician, who had his
attention called to an epileptic who
had been free from attacks from the
time he was bitten by RATHER. The
patient had had epileptic fits for If
teen years, and when he was brought
to Doctor Spangler he hadn't had one
In two years, not since the time he
was bitten.
Doctor Spangler, who has been
using the venom for chest and throat
diseases In cases Of tuberculosis, had
several epileptic patients under his
care at the time, and decided to give
them injections of the dried, glycerin-
lied poison Of the rattiesnake. The
effect was gratifying and tended to
show that, after all, cases that were
regarded as absolutely hopeless could
be cured, and only by the snake pol
son.
Doctor Hicks, the FIRST and only
physician in Brooklyn to attempt the
cure of epilepsy with the venom. was
convinced of the efficiency Of the
crotalin treatment, as It Is known
in the medical world, when he made
his first experiment at the Swedish
hospital The patient was a man who
had suffered from epilepsy for years,
and not long after receiving the first
injection OF snake poison the desired
effect was noted. The severity of the
attacks was modified, the intervals be-
tween the seizures we're progressively
heightened, and most desirable ef-
feet on the apprehensive mental state
of the sufferer Characteristic Of cpl
leptics was produced.
Doctor Hicks, as did Doctor SpanR-
Ter, discovered that the form of cpl
lepsy most influenced by the venom
was the so-called idiopathic or genu
inc epilepsy for which there is no as
cause. He found that the
organic eplepsleS, including those
forms arising from traumatic LESSONS
Of the skull or brain, or those forms
associated with organic disease Of the
brain, such as tumors. did not yield
to the venom treatment. Nor was
there any influence on alcoholic cpl
lepsy, or any influence arising from
uraemic conditions

In the eastern Mediterranean cele-

this fact proves all the more interest

The annexation Of Cyprus by Great

strength.
He is huge beast, and sometimes
measures six feet to the root of the

between the two horns. The latter are
massive, fat at the base, and ringed,
and they describe very wide curve

The gaur is found both in the for

ease
Like the elephant, he feeds on grass
