1 --4 y? ■ FRIOAY, FEBRUARY Iff. THE TWICE-A-WEEK TELEGRAPH 9 > BREAKS SOWN THE STRONGEST CONSTITUTION Rheumatism is mused by a sour, acid condition of the blood, brought on by chronic constipation, weak kidneys, poor digestion and a general sluggish condition of the system. Because of these irregularities the refuse and waste matters of the bo'ij* are not promptly expelled, bu ! are left to sour and ferment, producing irritating acids which are taken up by the Mood and distributed to ail parts of the system. This acrid mat ter weakens and diseases the blood so that instead of supplying the body with nourishing, healthful properties it deposits the poison with which it is loaded into the muscles, nerves, bones and joints, and Rheumatism gets complete control of the system. Some suffer almost constantly with the disease, while others have intervals of freedom, during which they live in constant dread of the next attack, when an exposure to cold or dampness or some other irregularity will cause the svmp- toms to return. If the cause is not removed Rheumatism will progress and reach a point nT* where it becomes incurable, and the strong- est constitution will break down. S. S.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC GO., ATLANTA, GA, Accused Delmas of Insinuations first cousin of Harry Thaw. Mr. Je rome objected to the question, on the ground that the relationship was too remote to permit the drawing of de ductions as to hereditary insanity. Both question and witness were withdrawn temporarily. Dr. Evans today detailed the results of his various examinations and physical tests in his visit- to the defendant following the tragedy. Dr. Evans testified first as to the general condition of Thaw's body as to nutri tion. and “aid it was good. The con dition of the skin also was good. "What as to the conformation ci head?" “The shape of the head showed' no particular point- or facts except that there was an unusual and marked de pression here”—Dr. Evans pointed to a spot on the back of his own head to illustrate to the jury. "What significance do you attach to the depression of valley in the rear of the head?” "I am unable to attribute any spec ial significance to it, or to the char acteristic for the reason that I never' before had met such a depression." .Dr. JEvans gave the details of his ex aminations of Thaw's pulse, the tests being on numerous occasions.

I have never before known a heart to act that way: I have known the pulse to change once in a minute, but Mr. Thaw’s pulse would start the first quarter of a minute at 64 beats, and in the next 15 seconds would run up to 112 or more.

Feb. 12.—Without con tinuing its hearing on the Burkett amend ment to the agricultural bill, providing for the leasing of the public lands for grazing, the Senate committee today agreed to adopt the amendment. Several amendments to the Burkett proposition were adopted, however, designed to pro tect the interests of the homesteaders and prevent restriction of settlement. The policy outlined, which is favored by ,ne President, was agreed upon by a’ bare majority of the committee. One amend ment provides that the Secretary of Ag riculture. who is to have control and man age the lands, shall organize grazing dis tricts.

Whether the answers of the alienists the hypothetical questions will be considered prima facie proof that Thaw’s mind was unbalanced at the time of the homicide and will, there- :o j fore, open the way for the introduc- and perhaps several others are ready to give, is a question that cannot be answered until the time comes when the court will pass on it.

Dr. Evans took occasion to say that he felt it was extremely unfair to him as a physician to.require him Jo sepa rate his physical examinations of de defendant from the questions and an swers as to his mental processes. He was interrupted by both Mr. Jerome and Mr. Delmas. and Justice Fitzger ald said: "Will you kindly coniine yourself to answering questions and not giving expressions of opinion. There is some limitation even to the province of-an expert.” “As to the general senses of the de fendant. they were found to be nor mal," continued Dr. Evans. ‘His pow er of perception was also found to be good, but it operated under his own peculiar will. There were periods of mental abstraction during which our questions were ignored by Thaw. When he so willed it, however, his per ceptive power seemed to be all right.” Dr. Evans was asked to state the general rule in determining hereditary insanity ns associated with epilepsy. “I can state my own rules." said Dr. Evans, “hut there may be differences of opinion. My rule is based on ex perience. and I can say that in a gen eral way it is a general rule among men of science. Epileptics beget epi leptics and persons predisposed to all the various forms of insanity. The children of epileptics have what we call a psychopathic taint.

This would cut out one of the most popular features of the Sunday papers today. In the same bill it was proposed that maga zines should not be permitted the use of the mail, if they carried advertising pages exceeding in area fifty per cent of the total size of the magazine, or printed on paper of a heavier quality, or on cloth, or on any other substance not practically identical with the body of -the magazine. All sorts of other regulations were provided by this’ measure for the irritation of publishers. It may be mentioned that the measure will not even get a hearing at this Congress.

Y., Feb. 13.—Frank Wayland Higgins, former Governor of New York, died at his home here last Washington Correspondence The T( graph. WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.—J. Sharp Williams, leader of the minor in tlie House, has presented one re! lution-.of inquiry, and is about to of another, both of which will make o tain executive departments “sit up take 'notice." The -first has relation to the Paper Trust—an ’ organisation pronounced illegal, ordered by the highest authori ty of the nation to disband, but which is still doing, under another system,, all that it did under the old one. Mr. Williams asks the Bureau of Commerce and Labor ro inquire into the combination of paper manufac turers in restraint of trade; to discover whether it is being continued in defi ance, of the order of the Federal Gov ernment: to report whether it has raised the price of print or other paper, and. finally, to explain, as far as pos sible, how it is able to maintain tho . monopoly it possesses despite the law and the authorities. In slang phrase, there Is a “Joker” in the last paragraph,, whi h, of course, is not quoted, literally, but condense ,1 front the legal verbiage <>, the resolu tion. I talked with William. bout it the'Other day when I furnis some clippings from a trade devoted to the paper trade, continuance of the trust. “What I enjoy about this.” “is the prospect of seeing the of Commerce and Labor worry over the explanation of the paper trust monop oly. The only explanation is the tariff on paper and on wood pulp, but under the most partisan Administration the nation has lately seen no department would rae to confess that. Given free entrance for wood pulp, the paper trust would care to confess that. Given free cause it owns or controls the forests that supply the wood—forests .that in only a few years will be desolate wil dernesses, barrens like those, in north ern Michigan that were stripped of their towering pines to make million aires of protected lumbermen. Why, the President is continually preaching of the preservation of forests, and set ting aside forest land as reservations.' But the tariff has done more to baro our land of its trees than any other public agency. Wc have been living on our forest capital, and it is sadly impaired. Germany after hundreds of years of lumbering has more timber today than it had 300 years ago. But: our lumbermen, whether cutting for lumber or for -wood pulp, strip the country clean, for as all foreign sup plies are shut off. they can extort high prices and the present rule of the money-maker is ’After me the deluge.’ the worst . pling is as useful as the matured tree.” I Mr. Williams' resolution of inquiry I will no doubt be adopted. The interest j of every newspaper in the United j States is involved, and however much I the Republicans may fear the result ' of the investigation, they will have j respect for th-' desires of their journal- j istie supporters. command and to s op wherever he or- i ™ned the police, who found it was an night at 8:40.

Bailey, before the Legislative ! investigating committee, replied today to a statement made yesterday by ! Senator Bailey, who, in vigorous terms denounced as untrue, certain accusa tions. Mr. Cocke said that he did not understand, that he (Cocke) was re ferred to by Senator Bailey as was re ported in the newspapers. A member of the committee volun teered the explanation that Air. Bailey was not referring to Air. Cook, but to the person who originally made the accusation. “But if X am mistaken.” Air. Cockc eontinued. "and Bailey did call me a liar. I would simply consider the source. Onlv cats and dogs fight and bullies browbeat.” Senator Bailey was not present when this statement was made and Air. j Cocke expressed his regret because of this fact. Mr. Cocke's statement was I allowed to go into the record. assist in the inauguration of his suc cessor as Governor, he resisted the im portunities of his family to spare himself, and went to Albany to take part in the ceremonies.

S. C.. Feb. 13.—The j South Carolins: State dispensary, fath- | ered by Senator B. It. Tillman, and in- j augurated in 1893. was abolished by the j adoption of the Carey-Cothran bill in i the State senate buff Right by a vote of 1 23 to 13. The new law provides for ! local option as between county dispen- j saries and prohibition. The bill adopt- j ed tonight has already passed the House, but will go back on a few amendments originating in the Senate. : Owing to the large anti-dispensary ma- i jority in the House, the measure will undoubtedly become a law. The bill provides that elections shall i be held in the various dispensary counties in Af ty next, allowing county- dispensaries or prohibition, as the vo ters see fit. The IS prohibition counties remain "dry” for two years longer. Th • House has already passed a bill providing for, the winding up of the affairs of the State dispensary. This measure calls for an executive com mittee of seven bonded members, who shall have entire control of the State establishment. They are allowed $5 per day ami expenses, their pay to cease January 11. 1908. The passing of the Stat.. dispensary marks a m-w era in South Carolina politics, the liquor question having been the leading one in this State for 14 years. To the press and pulpit of tho State I may be attributed the downfall of the institution.
