Drunk Atlanta Man Starts Out to De molish Street Cars. Spe-.ial to The Herald. Atlanta, Ga„ April 2.—Angered at the sight of trolley cars, Charles Chambers, a white man, who resides In the rear of the Exposition Cotton Mills, startod out Saturday night to annihilate the rolling stock of the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany. Chambers was drunk. Secur ing some bricks, he built up a pile of ammunition In the middle of the street car tracks on Marietta street, near Jones avenue. When the first trolley arrived after the arrangements had been innde, Chambers let fly. The In itial brick struck the electric head light nud demolished It. The next narrowly missed the motorman' and crashed through a window into the car. Other bricks followed fast and furious, and It looked for a time as If every pane of glass In the car would bo put out of business. A street car Inspector, the conductor and the mo- torman rushed Chambers, overpowered him, and turned the struggling man over to a policeman. He was given a trip pass to the police station, and his bond was fixed at 3300 for his appear ance in police court DEPEWS, BREAKDOWN SEEMS COMPLETE. Alone With Caretakers on the Estate of Elliott F.

BLOODLETTING. t Still Resorted to by Doctors In Certain EiuersrencieM. Bloodletting, oi* “venesection," ae It Is known scientifically, was once the common rbmedy for nearly every form of ailment. Washington died of it. In the opinion of modern medical authori ties, and soon after his time there was a reaction against veueseciion. Better medicinal agents accomplished what ever benefits were'attributed to this he roic treatment, and a better knowledge of physiology condemned the practice. Venesection, however, Is still em ployed in certain emergencies by the most advanced practitioners. A Ger man physician has made an exteiislve study of the, subject, with clinical ex periments, and reaches the conclusion that iu certain cases where the heart and lungs are engorged with blood venesection Is permissible because of the speedy relief it gives, ofteu after other resources have failed. Deadly toxins are also present In the blood In some diseases,) and venesection, deduces them’. ;Tbe lost fluid is replaced with an injection of salt solution. Bloodletting affords relief to the livid sufferer from' a distended heart when every breath is-a struggle, but its use has been reduced to an exact science, and it Is regarded In medicine as a final resort for giving ease in a com paratively restricted group of ailments. The clays when it was a cure-all, ad ministered by the corner barber as well as every physician, have disappeared Into the past.—Ne^r York Tress. brothers-in-law HAD ROUGH TIME.

Keep clean, keep well and dress well. Cleanliness and health are attractive. The world Is a great respecter of good clothes. The Greene and Gaynor trial at Sa vannah has entered upon its thirteenth week. One now begins to hear a good deal about the street sprinkling program to be followed during the coming sum mer. ^ r .‘ There will, in the natural order of things, be more traffic on the streets during the present year than there was last, and in consequence there will be greater demand for keeping the dust laid. But anyone who is observant knows that it will be impossible to sprinkle any greater area of streets with the one sprinkler which the city now owns than was sprinkled last year, and if the service Is to be extended it will become necessary to purchase another sprinkler. This is a subject which has already been discussed in an informal manner by the city fathers, and the suggestion has been made that it will perhaps be possible to arrange to utilize an extra pair of mules which it Is proposed to buy for use of the street department, for the double purpose of drawing scavenger carts and operating an ex tra street sprinkler at certain hours of the day. At any rate, it is not doubted that If they can see their way clear to dp it, the city fathers will make provis ion during the summer for sprinkling the streets in a manner satisfactory to all who are interested.
