not take a thousand dollars for the bene

that lam permanently cured. I make

MALARIA AXD MOSQIITOES.
Theory That the Insect Cause* the
Disease Practically Established.
Beware the Anopheles!
From the Medical Record.
Malaria in its several forms constitutes
perhaps the greatest obstacle to a success
ful colonization of the tropics. The ma
larial fevers are by far the most deadly
5f the tropical maladies in both white
man and native. Large parts of India are
devastated and rendered valueless by this
scourge, and immense tracks of land In
Africa and South America cannot be in
habited by the white race without almost
Inevitably fatal results. The problem of
the causation, of malaria, which has been
the despair of scientists for generations,
would appear to be daily drawing nearer
and nearer to its Anal solution. The large
majority of scientific men throughout the
world have virtually accepted as decisive
the theory that it is mainly if not wholly
by the agency of the genius Anopheles,
of the mosquito family, that malarial fev
ers originate and are spread. In fact by
many this is no longer looked upon as a
theory, but a doctrine.
A number of investigators have had a
share in the discovery that the mosquito
plays an important part In causing and
disseminating malaria, but to Manson and
Ross is generally conceded the honor of
bringing the matter to its present advanc
ed stage. Although Americans have not
specially distinguished themselves in these
investigations, it should not be forgotten,
as was pointed out in the London Lancet,
Feb. 11, 1899, that A. F. A. King, at the
meeting of the Philosophical Society of
Washington, D. C., held on Feb. 10, ISB3,
read a paper entitled “The Prevention of
Malarial Fevers," in which he suggested
the likelihood of marsh fevers being pro
duced by the bites of proboscidian insects,
notably in this and some other countries
by mosquito bites. This, we believe, was
the first occasion upon which the theory
was publicly mooted.
Great activity is now being displayed in
Europe with the object of deeding the
question beyond cavil. Fop years the Kal
ian investigators have been performing
splendid service in the endeavor to probe
the malaria mystery, and probably their
researches have done more toward its elu
cidation so far than has the work of anv
other school. Since the establishment cf
the two schools of tropical medicine in
Great Britain a vivid and practical interest
has been taken in that country in th rt
diseases of the tropics in general, and of
malaria in particular. The British govern
ment, in conjuction with the Royal So
cieiy, first dispatched a scientific com
mission to the west coast of Africa f<K the
pifrßose of attempting to find the ma’aiia
bearing mosquito, and to locate its breed
ing places. Shortly after this the Liver
pool School of Tropical Medicine equipped
and sent out at its own expense an expedi
tion under the leadership of -Maj. Ross to
the east coast with a similar end in view.
Maj. Boss and his coadjutors succeeded in
discovering the mosquito Anopheles clavi
gor, and in a few instances in determining
the situation of its breeding places. The
London School of Tropical Medicine, auth
orized by the British colonial office, nas
ju?t sent two of its members, Drs. Sam
bon and Lowe, to the Roman Campagna
there to conduct certain
which, if terminating favorably, should
convince the most skeptical th3t the mos
quito is the dominating factor in the caus
ation of malaria. It may be said that
experiments of * likA nature have already
been prosecuted by the liallans Celli anl
Grassi with most satisfactory results.
If. then, it be taken as proved hat ma
laria is caused by mosquitoes—and the evi
- hence in support of this contention is so
strong as to appear almost unassailable—
Htxl when it is further considered that the
nulady is conveyed by but one species of
mosquito, it follows as a natural sequence
(hat by a wholesale destruction of the sin
insect the ravages of malaria will be
curtailed and perhaps in time altogether
ended.
The Liverpool School of Tropical Medi
cine has recently published a book en
titled “Instructions for the Prevention of
Malarial Fever, for the Use of Residents
in Malarious Places," which concludes as
follows:
“All speculations about air, about soil,
•bout ’malaria belts,’ and the like have
been rendered obsolete. There is no rea
son to believe that the parasite of ma
laria finds access to the human body
through any other channel than by
F* ns of the Anopheles mosquito, or that
‘gnats’ or ‘mosquitos’ which infest re
gions free from malaria are examples of
Anopheles. If this particular inject could
"Xtlrpated there is every justification
for the hope that malarious fevers would
disappear from the earth; and for tuna te
iy the extirpation does not seem likely to
present any Insurmountable difficulty. The
are laid in water, and the larvae
v.'hen hatched live in water for about a
'’•etk before they assume the mosquito
form. As larvae, like , those of the com-
H 1 gnat, they rise to the surface to
breathe, and a film of oil on the surface
* "peetfly fatal to them by blocking up
jbeir air spiracles. Much may be done
’V drying up pools in the vicinity of
ous? or by treating them once a week
Jri'h a film of kerosene oil. Much may
done also by killing the mature in
when resting upon a wall after Its
1 and it is- to be ftoted that the true
A nophelee rests with its body almost ot
angles to the surface of the wall,
v.hiif. he absolutely or comparatively
•armless gnat rests with Its body parallel
0 the wall or even somewhat Inclining
to it.”
p HOM SCAFFOLD TO lIRXCH.
Ilarißinj* and Became a
JtMljge— ill oma nee of the West.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
lb Western cities, especially those which
1 H *ako of the character of a rhining camp
th* re are gu ny citizens with pasts. Amon*
lather numerous class here Judge
' UM 'V. Saunders’ life story is admitted
“ the most remarkable.
| Th.. ] as j act (< ov Pennoyer, of Ore
fl vvas pardon Mr. Saunders, and tho
r * B m<s# , aKe came near bpj n g too
, * , J. or the sheriff and Saunders had as
an . f t? 6 scaffold before the pardon
a ‘ . ha-t happened only seven years
I'iv. 1 * ,lcr oss the state line in Oregon.
<- ititrs afterward Mr. Saunders was
police judge of Spokane, and he is now
or.e of the leading attorneys cf the city.
The only incident for which any members
of the bar have criticised him took place
in the Police Court Curing his early
struggles here. At that stag * cf his ca
reer every case won counted. Saunders
said to the poflice judge in the course of
his plea:
“I know this client of m'ne. I know that
for three months he performed the hard
est kind of manual labor. The testimony
of the p lice that he will not work is quite
untrue."
It was an unusual appeal, and the mag
istrate said: "Ytur testimony i3 sufflM nt
to acquit him, and It i* al rha't is in his
favor. Bv the w ry, Mr. Saunders, where
did you know him?”
He was my cellmate in the Oregon pen
itentiary; your honor.” replied Saunders.
The silence that followed the answer was
uncomfortable until the co.irt o polo sized
for the question. Saunder’s answer w.is the
first intimation the general public of Spo
kane had concerning his past. Shortly af;-
er this Saunders made public a review of
the case in which he was the defendant,
and notwithstanding the rivalry that al
ways exists in municipal elections, the
story of his life in Oregon was not re'err and
to by his opponents when he was conduct
ing the campaign that made him police
judge.
Testimony was introduced at the first of
Saunders’ Oregon trials to show that he
killed a man in Texfis. However that may
be, he went to Eastern Oregon when a
young man and opened a law office. His
social shifts were highly appreciate! by th*>
isolated’community where he resided, an l
within a short time he became an appirmt
for the hand of the belle of the town. Ha
had a rival, and one morning !h s*r val
was found dead in a mountain path, where
it was said Saunders had been ?en Will
ing on the night previous. It was a plain
case of murder. Circumstantial evidence
accumulated against Saunders almost as
rapidly as his friends deserted him With
in a few hours he was under arrest, charg
ed with the murder. At the trial, the
judge admitted testimony tending to how
that Saunders had killed a m.n in Texas.
The jury found him guilty, and sentenced
him to the Oregon penitentiary for life.
Saunders obtained anew trial u. on th
ground that the testimony as to the Tex •
homicide was undue influence upon the
jury. It was excluded at the second trial,
but he was sentenced to.hang.
During all this trouble the young woman
was so i\>n/fident of his innocence that she
promised to remain true to him a lifetime,
if need be. Great pressure was brought
to bear upon the Governor to issue a par
don, but the dead man had many influ
ential friends, who presented counter-pe
titions. Just what motive influenced Gov.
Pennoyer at tho eleventh hour will prob
ably never be known, but there was great
rejoicing in the.bunchgrass town when the
telegram forbidding the sheriff to go on
with the execution was received. There
were also outcries that justice had been
thwarted, but sentiment has changed since
then and nearly everyone in that com
munity, except the relatives of the mur
dered man, believes in Saunder’s inno
cence.
The young couple lost no time in chang
ing' the preparations for a funeral into
arrangements for a marriage. Saunders
and his young wife dame to Spokane. Al
though they took no pains to conceal the
ordeal through which they had been, in
some way or other it did not become gen
erally known. When the story became
public it did not change the attitude of
the public toward the couple, and at this
time there is probably not a man in Spok
ane who does not look upon Judge Wirt
W. (Saunders as one who came near being
a victim of circumstantial evidence. He
has amassed a competence through bis
legal practice and lucky mining deals.

As to the rea- * ’ 1
J.Newton Hathaway.M.D eon for my suc
cess: I have made it a rule, since
the time when I entered college, to
make a study of one class of diseases at
a time and to perfect a treatment for that
class before I took up another; and be
sides" this I have limited my practice ex
clusively to chronic diseases.
But there are certain diseases which can
not be successfully treated by them
selves alone; the diseased condition of one
organ or part of the body will surely in
time communicate itself to some other or
gan or portion of the body. Hence, the
specialist who is best able to treat dis
eases of a chronic nature is he who Is fa
miliar with the diseased conditions which
are liable to become seated in all parts
of the body.
it is not sufficient to alone treat the
manifestation of the disease; it is neces
sary to go deeper and be able to cure the
underlying cause.
t’hroulc Ilinen.es Specially.
Having confined my specialty to chronic
diseases, which act and react on each oth
er, and having had the privilege of seeing
and treating and curing all the different
forms and stages of these diseases, if I
am' to be accredited with even common
natural ability, I ought to-day to be suc
cessful beyond those whose opportunities
have been so much less.
I doubt if any other physician in the
world has treated so many cases, along my
special lines, at 1 have. I have been
treating these diseases continuously for 20
years, day in and day out. I make no
boast of this; 1 simply state a fact'that
none can dispute.
Constantly I,earning.
Another thing which I have done: I
have tried to learn something new every
day about the diseases which I treat and
about remedies which would best reach
and cure these diseases. I am sorry to say
that moat doctors make up their minds
when they graduate from a medical col
lege that they know all that can be known
about medicine, and they go on In this
way until the end, with a longer record
of failures than of cures.
New and Exclusive Method..
Many things about disease and its treat
ment which I learned in the colleges from
which I graduated have been of very great
help to me in my practice since, but every
method of treatment which I use to-day
for the different diseases which I treat,
and every combination of remedies, 1. of
my own discovery. I long ago threw old
methods aside; I long ago discovered that
ever ycaae must be specially studied and
specially treated.
This, briefly, has been the chief cause of
my success and is the reason why to-day
I can so confidently promise cures to my
patients.

REVIEW OF THE MARKETS.
COXDITIOX OF GEXIiRAL TRADE
DURING THE PAST WEEK.
The Advance In Turpentine and the
Active Dcntund the Feature—La
bor Question Still Confront* the
Producer*—iNearly 20,000 Barrel*
of Ho* lit Sold During the Week.
Cotton Clone* Nominal—Local and
Telegraphic Market*.
Morning News Office, May 18.—The hc
tive demand for spirits turpentine was the
feature of the week in the local markets.
The market was firm last Saturday at IT'-a
cents, and closed firm to-day at 49, with
the demand stronger if anything. The axles
were considerably above 3.000 casks for the
week. It was also a lively week fo ros
ins, nearly 20,000 barrels being sold.
The reports to factorage houses here In
dicate that the labor question, which it
was thought for a time might solve itself
a little later in the season, is again a
source of worry to the trade. .Producers
complain that they are unable to get and
hold an adequate supply of hands to pros
ecute farm work, and the question is one
it is believed will have much to do with
the season’s crop. The competition which
prevails among producers to entice lab>r
from farm to farm, and the consequent
advance in wages, tends to create confus
ion and also lessen the value of the han 1
for the reason that they earn in shorter
time the amount they rcqu're for ‘he
weed’s support, and hence lay off win n
they have earned it.
A matter of interest to the trade gener
ally at present is the near approach of tho
completion of the extensive terminals of
the/Georgia and Alabama Railroad on
Hutchinson’s Island. Trains are already
crossing the big drawbridge above the city,
and the track from it to th ‘ termiral
buildings is being rapidly built. Large
rosin yards have been laid off, and tLa
erection of sheds and buildings for storage
purposes was begun this week. It is un
derstood the company expects by July 1 to
be ready for business. The receipts Vy
the Georgia and Alabama lines will then
be carried onto the island, and loaded cn
vessels which will dock in the terminal
slips.
The cotton market closed riominal to-dxy.
The reported transactions for the week
were 41 bales, and for the seas n 79.066
bales. The demand for spots is light. Th'
receipts for the week were 1,113, and the
exports 7,128. The week’s bank clearing*
were $2,839,000 in round tiguies. The fal
lowing resume of the different markets
will show rhe tone and quotations at the
close to-day, ar.d their condition during
the w eek:

COTTON ITTCHES.
New York, May 18.—The cotton market
opened steady. 2 points higher to 1 point
lower and for a time showed firmness, fol
lowing fairly good cables and Wall street
and European buying. L&teh'the rHarket
became easier and ruled quiet. Selling
without' being general, carried prices
down 2tg6 points from the best of the
morning, with the trading stimulated by
general brilliant crop accounts, favorable
weather forecasts and unfavorable late
cables. Selling was somewhat checked on
the theory that liquidation on long Inter
est in our market had been thorough
going of late and the menace of specula
tive holdings was no longer a positive
pressure. Some careful trades covered
short accounts on the weaker interval*.
But as a rule, local sentiment remained
bearish, owing to the crop condition in
connection with unsatisfactory accounts
from spinners and from the holders of
dry goods.
The principal direct pressure on the
market was the disposition on the part of
Southerners to sell the new crop posi
tions. Closed steady, 2 points higher to 2
lower.

COTTON LETTERS.
New York. May 18.—Hubbard Bros. &
Cos. say: Liverpool has again refused to
respond to the strad.mss of our market
and lost the opnlng advance to the sur
prise of the local trade. Our market has
1 een vary dull, blit ve y steady In face of
these disappointing reports from Europe,
and the lower Southern markets. The
trade are waiting for some further devel
opments of the future course of the mar
ket. They do not understand the weakn ss
of Liverpool Ih face of the strong statis
tical position. Outside speculation Is
awaiting also further developments No
disposition Is show n to anticipate any de
cline on the contrary traders are disposed
to buy new crop positions on any decline.
This feeling gives a firm undertone to he
new crop.
New York, May 18.—Murphy & Cos. say:
Cotton in Liverpextl advanced 1-32 J on
spots, sales 8,000 tales. Futures opened
2 to 3-64 above yesterday, but closed only
IK higher. Our meirket opened 2 points
higher to 1 point lower. weakened about
4 rxdnts after the opening on selling by
South and local bears, taenme steadier on
some shorts covering, but ruling ejuiet.
The stattstfeal position remains strong,
stock in Liverpool, and afloat this week,
being only 549,000 bales, against 1,500i000
bales last year, and 1,250,000 the previous
year. The Broadway house is still work
ing on the bull side and accumulating
early all months.

' Friday, May 18.
Spirits Turpentine—lt has been a stetady
advance in the turpentine market
throughout the week, due to the great
demand which prevails owing to the urg
ent need for stuff on the part of shorts
for May delivery, and the local and for
dgn demand, which has been quite satis
factory to the trade. At the opening on
las' Saturday the market opened firm at
4784 cents and closed firm at 4784. The
oprnlng on Monday was firm at 4784 cents,
and closed at 48 cents Tuesday the open
ing was at 48c and 48i4c, and closed firm
at the outside. The continued strength
carried the price to 4884 c on Wednesday,
and to 49c at the closing, at which It has
remained fltm since. Offering's have been
quickly snapped up at the advances, and
there are few In the market to-day who
are not willing to buy at 49c, notwith
standing it Is claimed in some quarters
that a weakness has developed which
may soon che k the upward tendency. The.
more conservative element of the trade
believe the market strong, however, and
lock for higher prices toward the closing
of May, wtien the usual squeeze Is look
ed for on account of the demand by
shorts.
The movement during the w-eek is con
sidered good. The receipts were 10,147
casks, against 18.087 for the same week
last year, and the exports 4.030, against
4,031 for the cot"resp>onding week of last
year. The exports were 660 to Bremen, and
the balance coastwise and interior.
Rosins—The opposite tendency was
shown In the rosin market, which started
down hill at the beginning of the wrek,
and continued declining until Thursday,
when sales were made of pales at 5 cents
above the closing quotations. The trade
was not quick to regard this recovery,
however, as a check to the downward ten
dency, which bad l>een the order of things
throughout (he week. The declines last
Saturday were 20 cents on w’indow glass.
15 cents each on M and N, and 5 cents on
F and below. On Monday water white
went oiT IS cents, M 16, I and N 10, and
O 5. The market continued dropping off
until to-day, w'hen the partial recovery In
pales was posted.
The receipts for the week were 18,037
barrels, against 22.967 same week last year
and the exports 11.082, against 13,107 same
