"sLEEelNe SICKNESS" CAUSES
 DEATH YEARS AFTER "cURE.'

NEW YORK, June 12. - Dr. Albert Curtis Purveil died at his home in Brooklyn yesterday of sleeping sick ness" contracted in the Belgian Con go several years ago when he was bit, ten by the tsetse fly. He attracted the attention of physicians through out the country by writing an article describing his illness.
 Dr. Purveil was a native of Hacken- sack, N. J., and was AZ gears old. Al ter graduating from New York Uni versity medical college he went to Af- rica and remained there for two years as a physician. He returned home, but finally decided to return to the Congo. It was during his second stay in Africa that he was bitten by the tsetse fly.
 The sleeping sickness" developed soon afterwards. His condition be- came so grave that he hastened tc Paris, where he was treated at the Pasteur Institute. After several months he was pronounced cured. Later the illness again developed.

Francis Joseph.

May heaven and hell blast his
happiness. May his family be ex-
terminated. May he be smitten in
the persons of those he loves. May
his life be wrecked. May his chill
dren be brought to ruin"
Such is the curse that the Countess
Karolyi, whose son had fallen victim
of the executions following the Hun
garian revolt, called down upon the
head of the then young Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria Hungary
in 1S4S.
Francis Joseph, after eighty-six
years as ruler of the dual monarchy
has laid down his scepter at the call
of death. In his long reign few mon
archs have had as many tragedies
as many intimate sadnesses, as great
strife as have been crowded into the
lifetime of the venerable ruler, the
last remaining world figure of the
nineteenth century.
1t would seem as though the ter
rible words of the countess had been
fulfilled. The assassination of the
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir tc
the throne of Austria Hungary, plung,
ing Europe into war, is but the
last of long series of tragic mis-
fortunes that befell the Emperor.
But while the deaths of those he
loved best must have saddened the
monarch he clung to the last to that
which he probably loved best-his
crown and the powers of a ruler
His death came as he probably would
have willed it, for he died fighting ir
the greatest fight in the history ot
the world.
The world will note his passing and
wonder what change it will bring ir
the fortunes of the dual monarchy
in the war. But it seems that the
death of Francis Joseph will bring
little change. The war may have
been begun by the rulers of Europe
but it is being fought by the people
and the conflict has grown so big
that its course now probably cannot
be changed by any one man.

Salary Increase Plans.

congress Will dSSCIIlDlc wees
from Monday and indications are that
both Senate and House will have diff.
ficulty in disposing of their work be.
fore adjournment March a. With
domestic and foreign affairs in Their
present unsettled state, it is more
than likely that Congress will be
called upon to act upon numerous
questions that may arise unexpected
ly. 1t is probable that the leaders
in both Senate and House will seek
to sidetrack all questions that do moi
demand immediate action in order to
give precedence to more urgent mat.
tiers.
Therefore, when the government
employees go before Congress with
their plea for increased salaries, based
on the fact that the cost of living
has increased with almost startling
rapidity and probably will continue
to increase for an indefinite period
the employees will face men who are
busy and who have much work be-
fore them. The great supply bills
must be acted upon and there is GER
tain legislation pending from the last
session that will take precedence over
any new measures.
For that reason, it would seem
wise for the employees to concentrate
on one plan. Experience has taught
that where Congress is offered a
mass of legislation, all looking to,
ward the same end, the disposition
to pass it over until later session
seems to be favored.
The closing days of the last ses.
sion illustrate a condition that may
arise again in the campaign of the
government employees. At that time
there were a number of bills before
Congress all designed to give fremer
and policemen an adequate pension
law. The apparently hopeless disa,
greement among the rank and file oi
the departments threatened to re-
suit in no legislation. At the eleventh
hour the disputing factions agreed
upon a bill and Congress speedily
passed it. 1t is not perfect law
but it is a great improvement over
the former law in that it provides the
required revenues to meet pension
demands, and there is a chance to
remove its imperfections by amend
ments.
The government employees should
profit by this lesson. They should
sift all their disagreements over what
they believe Congress should give
them into one definite plan for relief
from the demands of the higher liv-
ing cost and present this plan to
Congress in a businesslike way, with
the least possible delay and with the
unanimous support of all who will
be benefited when Congress enacts
relief legislation.
There never has been a more op-
perfume time for asking Congress for
the much needed salary increases, and
whether Congress will grant the in
creases at this session may depend
largely on the employees themselves
and the manner in which they present
their plan.
