TO TREAT THE TOURIST RIGHT

TO TREAT THE TOURIST RIGHT
Treatment Of tourists at hotels" is
one Of the matters to be discussed at
Chamber Of Commerce meeting. The
theme. too. is one Of broad possibili-
ties. not only for the sake of the
tourists but for the sake of Miami in
general as the idea is intended no
doubt to cover the question of treat
ment of tourists" throughout the city.
The hotel that serves canned vege-
tables and canned fruits in Miami
where fresh vegetables and fresh fruit
are on the market all the winter; the
hotel which depends upon the tips
given it's servants by hotel guests to
exc out wages for its employees; the
hotel which does nothing free" for
the entainment of it's guests-all these
doubteless exist in a town where
there are as many hotels and board
ing houses as there are in Miami. And
the Chamber of Commerce might per-
form excellent service for winter Wis
itors by listing hotels of the class that
don't make specially of tin-can food,
and do not permit wholesale robbery
of guests by tip-seeking servants, and
who go to some pains to furnish pleas
ant entertainment for the visitors.
However, the question of treating
the tourist right" extends to all parts
of the city's social and business life.
The churches have big duty in the
welcoming of strangers, and the bus
ness houses, and every individual cit
izen is called upon. in their loyalty to
Miami, to make this city famous for
its generous and pleasing hospitality

Claim Dead
Man Made to
Move and Talk

The New York Mercury relates a
most remarkable case of resucitation
as having recently occurred in Paris:
Mons. de Docteur Buss d'Alembert,
a noted French physician and surgeon,
has long held that life might be pro-
longed indefinitely in some classes of
patients; such, for instances, as
those who have suffered no fatal le-
sions, but who are perishing from
anaemia or the degeneration or non
production of proper blood corpuscles.
Until the 9th. of last November he
found no one willing to accept as true
his seemingly visionary theory, but
having secured a suitable patient for
experimental purposes in the person
of NJ. Nathan Isaacs, near relatice,
by the way of Baron Rothschild, he
Immediately proceeded to demonstrate
the truth OF his hitherto unsubstan-
tiated assertion. Mr.. Isaacs was dy-
ing OF an anaemia disorder, and hav-
ing heard of Or. d'Alembert's theory,
he sent for him on the date above
mentioned. having discharged his fam
lily physicians, and placed himself
wholly under the care of the doctor.
Upon the arrival DR.. d'Alembert found
his patient at the point of death, and
the more strongly to demonstrate the
tenability of his belief. he determined
TO allow Mr.. Isaacs to expire before
trying his experiments. No stimu-
lants being exhibited. Mr.. Isaacs
quietly breathed his last on the morn
ing OF November Il. at 4:30 o'clock.
The body was then removed to the
Office of DR.. d'Alembert, when the ex-
periments were conducted as follows:
Two assistants then began with dry
friction to shampoo the entire surface
OF the body. This being thoroughly
done. the doctor made an incision
reaching 10 the spine at the first vete-
bra, and buried there smooth copper
plate attached to one wire of the cleo
trio battery. The incision was neatly
sewed up to hold the plate in place,
and the cicatrice covered with colo
dion or other tincture OF gum-cotton.
Another copper plate, connecting
with the same pole of the battery was

While light, the cambric formed a
perfect protection against dust, and a
simple shaking when the sweeping

that they required washing but once a

saved much valuable time and extra
work. The cost of such set is mod
