Of the muscles Of the arms, legs,

is difficult breathing which gives
rise to foam that collects tbout the

from q bitten tongue. In nearly all
cases, unconsciousness is complete but

These attacks may come on suddenly
or they may follow period of rest
lessness and irritability and yet, in
other cases the patient may not ever
become completely unconscious. Very
often the convultions themselves prove
fatal or leave the patient exhausted
to such an extent that he will sue
cUmb to the disease or condition pro-
ducing the convulsion. All cases of
infantile convulsion require the at
tention of a physician in order that
he might treat the cause of such and
probably prevent recurrence of the

Sunday Funerals.

Last week we called attention to
the fact that the ministers seemed
not to be following up their reso-
luton on Sunday funerals passed
by them a few weeks before.
In the same issue with the edi-
torial there appeared the following
news item which shows that they are
following out their course efficiently
ant we'll and that no censure should
attach to them:
I'm keeping with the recent reso-
luton adopted by the Inter-denom-
national MinisterE Alliance Of Dali
las, this body met in regular SEES
sion and condemned the action of
those responsible for the funeral re-
Gently held on Sunday at Macedonia
Church.
The pastor explained to the AL
lance that he advised the under
taker, the bereaved and the frater-
nal organization which had charge
Of the body as to the previous ac-
ton of The Ministers Alliance
against Sunday Funerals, to which.
the widow Of the deceased gave the
pastor written statement to the
effect that It was an extreme case
Of emergency, having been unavoid-
ably detained both on Friday and
Saturday to bury; and that he. the
pastor, then consented to hold the
funeral on Sunday afternoon.
The Ministers Alliance, while rec
o3nizing tie embarrassing position
in which the pastor was placed,
nevertheless went on record as con-
demning the action. and in order
that emergency clauses hereafter
NAV not be misunderstood, made the
foasowing provision, namely: That
no emergency clause shall be reeog-
nized. save in the case Of a family,
whose financial circumstances are
Of such kitat they are not able to
have the fsady OF ne deceased en-
balmed"
II Is VIZ that such a proviso
should have been ilade for often It
happens that such circumstances do
Efise but too much Acknowledgement
cannot be placed on the practise of
turning OUT on Sunday to funerals.
i is a relic Of unenllghtened days.

The porter, a negro, was Theodore
Milton Selden, who boarded at 221S

through the chance discovery of Phi

AT first 1t wos believed the key be-

But an investigation proved that the
porter himself was Theodore Milton
Selden, graduate of several educa-
tional institutions, and an honor stu
dent at Dartmouth.
Selden came from Northfollv, Va,
where he lived with his father and
several brothers and si.ters. He at
