ton Peck, as quoted by the Little Clas- sics Press, which republishes the base ball ballad.
 Literary people are reluctant to see merit In contemporary ballads of Tow life" so-called. Casey is really better stuff than its prototype Horatius.
 Horatius did impossible things. He licked a whole army single handed, then Jumped into the river and swan across in a 200-pound suit of lead pipe, cast iron and chain mail
 There is no element of surprise Tn the poem, either. because everybody ex- poets him to float safely across the river with a ton of steel tied around his neck! And with his harness on his back plunged healing into the tide"
 But Casey Is human. He works no miracles He goes to bat in high favor and springs the surprise by flaming He put his punch in the last line. He missed the ban but batted out lite rary home run.

Made Invalid by Telephone

Buzzing. rattling and other unusual noises in a telephone may so effect ones nerves as to made him an invalid, and such cases are covered by accident in- surance policies according to a ruling by the imperial supreme court. The case came on appeal from a judgment against an insurance company. The defendant contended that the plaintiff was of neurasthenic predisposition and that the effect of unusual telephonic noises upon him was psychic effect" which was rot covered by an accident insurance policy. It could not be denied, said the court, that many objections could be urged to the plaintiffs claim. It might be questioned whether his invalidism was not due to imagination, following dis turbances which-as he asserted-had the effect upon him of a severe electric shock
 Nevertheless, it could be assumed that there was a great probability that the noises complained of had such a shatter- ing effect upon the plaintiffs nerves that his subsequent maladies could properly be considered as due to an accident, within the terms of his accident policy.

Pure Vaccine Matter Possible

The anti-vaccinationists are about to lose their strongest argument Their most telling objection against vaccination has long been that it was impossible to get absolutely pure vaccine matter; notwith- standing the greatest precautions, like the use of calves kept under specially sanitary conditions. the lymph obtained would not infrequently contain deleterious germs. According to the German Medical Weekly, however. way has at last been found for sterilizing lymph so thoroughly that its purity can always be relied upon. This has been accomplished by Prof. E. Friedberger and pr. p. Mironescu, who have availed themselves of the we'll known principle that the ultraviolet rays of light are destructive of bacterial life. The virus is put into small tubes of quartz-glass, which are then exposed to the ultraviolet rays from an electric lamp. In 20 or 90 minutes there is not a live germ left in them.

seen in levers and in the acute infectious


 Such a symptom," says the professor, 'is evidence of disordered bodily state, in which the nervous system is reaching to some toxic or mechanical stimulus of considerable intensity. One patient used to dream again and again that cat had him by the throat, and was slowly chok- ing him to death. This mental agony would continue until he awakened spon- taneously with a sensation of great tense- ness and fullness in the throat. He devel- open finally a cancer of the throat.
 Where such dreams occur again and again we should seek for the cause of the stimulus in some localized region of the body

Dreams and Disease

xAiISWtIS
 What Is a dream? Many have tried to pierce the mystic veil that divides sleep ing and waking life. Dreams and their portents have formed the life study of numerous scientists: but strangely enough little progress has been made in the sci entif1c understanding of dreams.
 Professor Freud, well known schol- ar and investigator, voices some remark able facts regarding the relation of dis ease to dreams.
 Dreams of patients suffering with or ganic disease of the heart and kidneys are sometimes greatly troubled by terrors and wild phantasies. This I have often

A Queer Donation

Herr Seiferth, mayor of the little Saxe- Weimar city of Weida, has made dona- tion to the city which has set mathe- maticians to figuring compound interest problems of an unusual sort. The dona- uens consists of $50, and it is to be in- vested and the interest compounded regu- larly for 340 years, or until 2254. Tn May or that year 70 per cent of the accumu- lated interest is to be at the untrammeled disposal of the municipality. The re- mainng 30 per cent is to be similarly compound for further 100 years, when the total shall vest as an absolute gift in the city. Estimates of the sum that will be available in 2254 vary from S1, ,25O, coo to $15000,O00. always assuming that financial conditions do not vary greatly from what they are today

MAYOR W|KLE WILL
 HAVE OPPOSITION
Shaler Houser Announces Candidacy in Anniston
4TH PASSES QUIETLY
Mystery Surrounds Discovery of Bloody Jacket in Bushes Beside Railroad at Oxanna
 Junction

Anniston, July 4.-(Special.) )-Shaler Houser, a member of the city council and chairman of the finance committee yes terday cast his hat into the ring and will oppose pr. J. l.. Wikle, who is seeking reelection as mayor of this city.
 MT. Houser is a young business man who was reared here and has numerous friends who will endeavor to elect him to the highest position in the city govern merit Mayor Wikle will make the cam paign on his record as mayor, having served two terms, and both he and Mir. Houser have gone on record as being strongly opposed to the increase in tele- phone rates. The telephone question will figure largely In the coming campaign for municipal offices. though all of the candidates seem united in condemning the raise.
 The police and city detectives are try ing to locate the owner of a suit of over alls the jacket of which was found in the bushes near the coal chute at Oxanna Junction last night, with two bullet holes through it and fresh blood around the holes.
 lie Jumper WAS IOunQ DY d man WnO notified the police and an investigation showed that the blood was human blood and had been recently spilled on the jumper. A bullet had been fired at the owner of the garment, which pierced the breast on the right side and came out at the back slightly lower than where it entered. Blood spurted from the wounds both where the bullet went in and where it came out and the police believe that the wound will prove fatal to the man who suffered it.
 It Is thought that the shooting took place at some town along the railroad and that the coat was thrown from train at this place. Search is being made, however, for the wounded man and in- quiries have been sent out to ascertain whether or not a shooting had taken place at any point in this district at any time yesterday.
 Although a number of arrests were made this morning, the Fourth was un- usually safe and sane here today. A ball game between Anniston and Gadsden this morning was largely attended and though everybody was enthusiastic, there was no disorder.
 Several men were taken up by the po- lice as they arrived on the trains from Birmingham and other places with sup plies of liquid refreshments, and many men who intended to have big time to- day landed in the city bastile. where they will remain until given a chance to ex- plain to Recorder Green Monday morning.
 T. F. Wright, a prominent citizen, was married in Atlanta June s to Mrs. Mary Cocolo Walsh at St. Anthonys church by the Rev. Father O. N. Jackson.
 Mrs. Wright remained the guest of her parents until today, when Mir. Wright returned to Atlanta and both came back to this city, where they will reside.
