THE DAVIS OBELISK.

We are pleased to know that Ken
tucky has reconsidered her plan OF
abbreviating her monument to Je1-
ferson Davis. Having erected the me-
mortal to the height of 1856 feet, it was
decided there to rest and to cap over
the shaft, much as for so many years
our Chalmette Monument was capped
instead of giving it the full height OF
351 feet as originally designed. The
monument is at Fairview, KY, and is
in the hands of the Jefferson Davis
Home Association. .
Announcement of the proposed les
sening of the memorial honor arose
little short of indignation among tn
nations Daughters of the Confeder
acy and the latter have undertaken tt
raise the needful funds to carry ou
the tall memorial that will be in tn
form of an obelisk. While it seeme

HAS FAITH IN HIS "CURE"
Only Patient Who Tried Snake Diet
for Leprosy Died, but Doctor
Holds to His Theory.

In practicing medicine for the bene-
fit Of the natives l worked out one
theory in regard to leprosy, which Is
fairly common ailment in the Arch
ipelago. l asked myself why, since a
snake sheds it's skin, man who is
afflicted with disease should not be
able to do the same thing.
In Singapore there was a rich Chi
nese leper, known as Ong 81 Chew,
who asked me repeatedly why 1 did
not bring him some new remedy for
his disease. Since he had a large
household of servants who took care
of him, and his own carriages and
richshas when he travelled, he was
allowed to live untroubled by the au-
thorities but he was very unhappy,
because he had tried all the remedies
of the native doctors and was stead
lily growing worse
At last l told him that l had some
thing that might help. He asked me
what 1t was, but I would not tell him.
When he insisted, answered,
Snakes"
"Ul-law he exclaimed, waving his
arms in the air.
Then 1 explained my theory. The
ability Of snake to shed his skin
might be transferred to human be-
ing If he ate snakes; and If so, the
person would be able to shed his lep-
rosy. Ong 81 Chew did not care for
the idea at all, but 1 told him it was
worth trying and argued that snake
is much cleaner than an eel.
At last he consented, and furnished
him with a number Of small pythons
with the Instructions that they were
to be killed and cleaned Immediately
before they were eaten. He was to
eat them raw with his rice.
left Singapore soon after that, and
when I returned I found that Ong 81
Chew had died. People thought 1t was
a great joke on me because my patient
had not survived the treatment, but I
am far from being convinced that the
cure will not work-or, at least, help
to throw off leprosy. Ong 81 Chew

and his case was not fair test

Polly Remembered Cyclone.

A parrot, named Polly Langston,
died recently at the age of fifty-three.
A native Of Missouri, Polly was a
feathered prodigy whose remarkable
talents included many vocal and lin
guistic accomplishments. She could
sing and talk In English as we'll as
Spanish, her mother tongue; pray and
sing several Of the old familiar
hymns, which she had picked up at
church and social gatherings, besides
having a wide repertory Of CONVERSE
tional "small talk" At one time,
when the circus came to her local
town, and Polly had poured forth her
sage salutations to the passing para
ders, the attention Of the late p. T.
Barnum was attracted to her and a
large cash offer was made for her,
but her owner could not be induced
to part with her. She remembered to
her passing hour an event of her early
life when a cyclone wrecked the town
and brought death to scores Of the in
habitants. Polly survived by mir
acle, but for more than 40 years aft
erwards whenever the dark clouds
gathered she became so frantic with
fear that it was necessary to put her
where she would escape the

DR.. H. l.. d. Woodruff, city health
officer, has placed the ban on SWIM
ming in the river at the Main street
bridge, in the interest of public
health. A great deal of sewage en-
tiers the river near this point, and
swimming there is dangerous,
especially at the present low stage
OF the water. Swimming at the
Black shore is not so dangerous,
most of the sewage following the
channel. DR.. Woodruff reports
health conditions in Ellsworth this
summer at 100 per cent. so far as
infectious or contagious diseases
are concerned.
Plans are completed for the an
nual Unitarian fair on Wednesday,
Aug. 3. There will be the usual
display of plain and fancy articles,
the tables of homemade candy,
cooked food, ice-cream and lemon
ade. Attractive musical programs
have been arranged for both after
noon and evening, and the fair will
close with ball. AS this is the
only public observance of Old Home
week in the city, visitors are invit-
ed to take this occasion to meet old
friends. The afternoon program is
planned especially for children, and
is as follows: Piaon solo, Kathleen

A large COW moose died miserably
in the mill pond above the Staples
mill at the foot of Patten pond re-
Gently. Chief Game Warden Ma
comber was notified that there was
a carcass of a moose in the pond,
the animal having evidently been
drowned. Upon investigation he
found that the moose, wading in the
pond, had got one hind foot caught
between two rocks and could not ex-
tricate it. So trapped, the animal
had died slowly of starvation or of
drowning when it became too ex
hausted to stand, as the water was
not deep enough to drown it other
wise. The moose evidently had
been dead two weeks or more.
Warden Macomber and the men
with him could not release the
foot to move the carcass, and it was
necessary to saw off the leg.

meeting of the Ellsworth High

the afternoon can be spent on the
