GOLDNEEDlE CURES
COST DOCTOR 5000
Arrested When He Undertakes
To Relieve Blindness by
PrlckinQ Flesh.

BRIDGEToN, N. j.. July lo.-rhe
Cumberland Medical Society has just
made known the arrest OF "Dr." J. w.
Glover and the imposition OF the maxi
mum fine OF $500 for practicing medi-
cine in New Jersey without a license,
"Dr." Glover posed as ''pick" doc,
tor, protesting to cure many diseases
by picking. or prickins. the flesh with
gold needles and thus bringing hu-
mors to the surface.
After picking the flesh, he would
apply a counter-irritsnt, producing In
flammation and in some cases infec-
tion. A Bridgeport physician Is au-
thority for the statement that such
treatment is very dangerous and
sometimes is attended by fatal re-
suits.
One man who was III with diabetes.
was persuaded to take the treatment.
and death ensued in a shUSt time, IL
Is said. In another case Glover prom
ised to cure John p Madden, . chair
maker of Bridgeton. of hereditary
blindness, the only requisite being
that Madden should tell him the day.
week and year OF his birth. and that
his eyes had not been injured In any
way since his birth.
This led to his undoing. He had gone
TO Detroit, when DR.. Elton s. Corson,
a member of the medical society. was
appealed to in an effort to get him
back here for trial A ruse was re-
sorted to, whereby Glover was per-
suaded TO come back to "cure" Madden
~ was promptly placed under ar
rest upon his arrival. AS II happened,
one of those who arrested him was
Constable Lorenzo ID Woodruff, who
was a victim of the ''pick" treatment
at his hands several years ago. The
doctor" decided to plead guilty. and
paid the fine to Sheriff David M.
Bowen without the case getting into
court,
DR.. Corson has forwarded to Wash
ington the correspondence in the
Madden case. and there may be an
other charge based upon the use OF
the United states mails to defraud.

FARMER FOUND DEAD, ..
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
Coroner's Jury Believes Prince
Georges Man Slipped and
Fell Into Stream.

HYATTSVILLE, Nd, July 16.--A
verdict OF accidental death was re-
turned yesterday by a coroner's jury
in the case of Samuel I. Jones. nifty
two years old, prominent Prince
Georges county farmer. whose body
was found just before noon yesterday
in a small stream about 800 yards
west OF the Laurel ssnuitarium. The
jury discarded both the suicide and
foul play theories
The body was discovered by Charles
Bean and a brother. nephews Of Jones,
who were members OF a party that
had been searching for Jones since
his disappearance from the Laurel
sanitarium about IL o'clock last
Tuesday morning. The body wa.
fully clother and about $27 was in
pocket. A stick which evidently had
been picked up by Jones while walk
ing through the woods was still
grasped in the right hand.
1t is believed Jones, who was in
weakened condition, slipped or fell
from the bank of the stream and
struck his head against cement which
at one time formed a dam. The blow
probably rendered him unconscious
aud, falling into the stream, he was
drowned.
The body will be removed to
Richie, Jones' home.
For three or four weeks Jones had
been suffering from melancholia. and
last Sunday was taken to the Laurel
Sanitarium by DR.. John +. Sansbury,
Of Forestville. About IL o'clock
Tuesday morning the sanitarqium au-
thorities missed him and a search was
begun. 1t is believed he met death
about noon Tuesday.
Jones leaves a wife, who Is q
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs John Brady,
Of Prince Georges county, and
daughter about seventeen years old.
1t was stated at the sanitariumh that
Jones was q voluntary patient, and
as such was entitled to the privileges
of the grounds.

Trace Pedigree for Centuries.

Speaking Of old families and family
trees, English and Americans who
pride themselves on ancestry have rea-
son to envy the Arabs, many Of whom
can trace their family line back
through many centuries by means Of
authentic documents. Prof. Talcott
Williams, an American who was born
and spent his youth In Turkey and has
Travelled much since in oriental coun-
tries, says the descendants of Moham-
med are numerous all over the Mos
lem wOrld-in Arabia, Somaliland and
East Africa-and that they prove their
line by these records, which they value
highly. There are also many descend
ants Of Abu Bekr, the immediate sue
cessOr Of Mohammed. The leading
Moslem family in Jerusalem are the
Khaldi. descendants Of Kakied, who
conquered Syria 1900 years ago and
whose descendants have kept their
genealogical records intact for all that

"PubIIek Occurrences" In 1880. Got
Out One lssue, and Then the Au-
tho~Itles suppressed It.

Americas first newspaper, the Bos-
ton Newsletter. first published In
1704, on exhibition at the Massachu-
sets Historical society, marked the
beginning Of continuous Journalism In
the British colonies. Until 1704 the
nearest approach to a newspaper in
the everyday life Of the colonies was
the manuscript NEWSLETTER" which
was usually addressed by the writer
to a governor or a leading clergyman,
and was presumably shown around
and the news" further circulated by
word of mouth.
An earlier effort than that of the
Boston Newsletter to publish news
paper In the colonies is on record in
the attempt to publish Publick Occur
rences, in 1890. The Introductory
paragraph announced that at Is de-
signed that the cOuntrey shall be fur
