MANSFIELD MAY Pi AV NO MORE. The Acior Lies Guarded Day ami Night at Ilia Home. Saranac Lake, N. Y., August 9. The "Beau Brummel," the "Baron Chevrlal" and the "Dr. Jekyll," of Richard Mansflold will probably never ? he seen again upon the stage. Shattered in body, impaired in mind, the dlstiguishod American ac tor lies guarded night and day in a little cottage in the heart of the North Woods at Ampersand, declaim ing between coughing Ats the lines of the parts he made famouB, and weep lng when they carry from his sight the costumes he wore In hts most successful roles. Even while his wife and brother declare that Mansfield Is steadily Im proving they are writing to Montreal and New York for specialists to hurry to his side, and lt Is said that more intimate friends have been fore warned that while no immediate dan ger of death appears there ls grave doubt that the actor will ever leave his bed. Stretched on a couch on the Inva lid car of a special train Mr. Mans flold, accompanied by his wife and brothor, Felix, and with several maids and valets, reached Saranac Lake from Montreal several weeks ago. In the thick of the forest, Ave milos be yond tho range of campers and the summer hotel guests, a little cottage had been taken, and to this secluded spot the stricken Thespian was horne. Since then he has been living there, among the pines and .'1,000 feet above th"> sea. That spot was chosen by phy sicians before Mansfield loft England, because there is no other spot in America which will aid nature so well In healing consumptive lungs. That Mr. Mansflold ls upon the vergo of consumption ls denied only by his brother and wife. Dr. Lemleux, the groat French tubercular specialist, from Montreal, who attends him, re fuses to answer when questioned about hts patieut s lungs. To the persistent reports that In sanity and neurathenia aro also Im minent, or have already appeared, they answer In the negative. Yet lt Is known that to-day tho sick man weighs less than 100 pounds, ls too weak to rise from his bed, cannot speak a dozen words without a par oxysm of coughing, yet insists that his valet spread out at his bedside all the stage raiment he has worn In his triumphs from "Richard III" to "Old Heidelberg," then calls his wife to liston hy the hour while in husky, whispering voice, und with gestures pathetically weak, he plays over line for line and word, for word t)\4 greater dramas of his career. That he ls much worse than when, nerve-wrecked, he hurried oft to Eu rope In the early summer, ls admit ted, even by his brother and wife. Even since his arrival here It ls feared that he has failed, for two extra nurses have boen summoned, and Dr. Lemloux's coming was un looked for when the party arrived at Saranac Lake. Mrs. Mansfield and her friends are making every effort to keep her hus band's real condition from the pub lic. "LITTLE JACKIE HORNER." Base Bnll Player ami Bartender Tries Suicide at Police Station.

Rockefeller will live to be more than ninety-four, said Dr. Blggar, his family physician, to-day. He ls the best trained athlete In the sixty-year old class In the world to-day. "Mr. Rockefeller has been born twice physically, and he ls only four teen years old now. He ls growing up again scientifically, adding to his muscle, to his lungs, to his heart power with every breath of fresh air he takes on Forest Hill and with every drive he makes with the golf club." And lt cost Mr.RockefeIler$?,000, 000 tor his Becond life. These are his own words. It happened in this wise, according to Dr. Blggar: Mr. Rockefeller came to Cleveland in 1893 in the middle of the panic period, completely broken In health find spirit. "Doctor, I'm sick. I'm raid I'm going to dio. But lt is not on account of thc financial situation that I'm sick; lt is through disappointment of my friends." And he asked the doctor to help him. After a few days of close study, Dr. Blggar went to i.r.

Apparatus for Resuscitating Persons Apparently Dead. An apparatus for producing artifi cial respiration has recently been de vised whereby in cases of suspended animation the action of the heart and lungs can be renewed. Prof. George Poe, the Inventor of the apparatus, does not Insist that .with itu use Ufe can be brought back, lu., claims, according to the Scientific American, that by artificial means applied through the instru ?entality of the respirator persons killed by asphyxiation, poison, or drowning, can be resuscitated; that the death of persons under the Influence of an aesthetics while being operated upon fan be prevented; that its use will prevent Infant asphyxia at birth; that a drunken porson can be sobered in n few minutes; that persons electro cuted or hanged-In the latter case .where the neck has not been broken .-can be revived, and that the freez ing to death of Arctic explorers can be obviated. These results aro ac complished by stimulating normal respiration through artificial means. A demonstration was made on a rabbit. Two grains of morphine ?were injected into the leg.atter which lour ounces of ether were adminis tered. It was believed by the ex perimenters that life was positively extinct, as the appltcalon of every known test failed to reveal any sign of life. In this condition the tubes of the apparatus were applied to the rabbit's nostrils, and on pumping out the poison with one cylinder, pumped oxygen into the lungs with a simultaneous movement of thc ?salves, within three minutes the rab bit, but lately pronounced dead, was preathlng naturally, and within six minutes it was running around the room. The ether was entirely out of the system, as there was no indica tion of nausea.

Y., August 10.-A remarkable cure of oancer has been effected on Mrs. Wilhelmina Lod wig, a farmer's wife. Mrs. Lodwig has suffered from oancer on the left leg, just above the knee, for a long time. While out pioking huckle berries two weeks ago she was bit ten on the ankle by rattlesnakes. Her nephew, Karl Lodwig, came to her assistance and killed three rat tlesnakes. The woman's leg had swelled to an enormous size, but the swelling did not go about the can cer. The oancer, which had fringed with red, turned into a running sore. It remained in this condition for four days. On tho fourth day the discharge stopped and proud flesh began to make its appearance. The snake poison had worked all through the cancer, the swelling disappeared and the heretofore ugly looking cancer began to heal and turned to a healthy flesh color. Last Thursday the wound began to heal and yesterday Mrs. Lodwig was in town almost cured.

Tho Wonderful Change for the Better 1 SSince 1905. The Atlanta Georgian published in . ite issue of last Monday the follow- 1 iug interesting letter from Heriot 1 Clarkson, chairman of the North j Carolina Anti-Saloon League, deal- , ing with the effeot that prohibition < h aa had on the city of Charlotte. I A newspaper editor has requested 1 me to write you as to the b?n?ficiai resulta of prohibition in the oity of ( Charlotte, and I hand you herewith ? booklet showing what the leading i business men, bankers, farmers, laborers and others aay. The sub stance of eaoh testimony is, "That it helps business and is a blessing." Prohibition went into effect on January 1st, 1905, in the oity of Charlotte. The majority against the saloons was 485. The eleotion took place on July 5th, 1904. The re corder's court shows that the total number of arrests foi 1904, the last year whiskey was sold, was 2,405 and during the year of 1905, the first year prohibition went into effeot, 1,496, a deorease of 909 arrests the first year prohibition went into effect. 1 have lived in the oity since 1872. I have known the oity from a small village till now, when it is one of the finest industrial and educational cen ters in this section of the South, hav ing a population of about forty thou sand. Property has increased in Charlotte from 10 to 25 per cent, since prohibition went into effect, and never in the history of Charlotte has there been so much building. On May 20, 1906, there was a ure at celebration of the Mecklenburg Dec laration of Independence. There was never such an assemblage in the oity of Charlotte, and the universal ex pression was that "there never was suoh a sober and orderly orowd gath ered in this section of the South." A learned Judge in North Carolina, who was against prohibition, and who saw the good order that prevailed at that celebration, '"hat he was about convinced that prohibition "pro hibited." The prosperity of the city has never been greater. Merchants have been greatly benefited, as they have gotten money that onoe went to the saloon. The wage earner and laboring mau is putting his money in the building and loan associations and in the savings banks. Thia section has wonderfully de veloped the cotton mill industries. The cotton mill owners and the cot ton mill operatives have been in op position, as a rule, to the saloon, and in my opinion, as solicitor of thia Twelfth judicial district, comprising the counties of Mecklenburg, Gaston, Lincoln, Cabarrus and Cleveland, the work of prohibition has done won ders and untold benefit to the mill owner and the operatives, and all sorts and conditions of men. In one county, Gaston, twenty-five years ago there were about three cot ton mills and about forty-eight dis tilleries and many saloons, but to-day in Gaston county thero are fifty cot ton mills in operation, and ab it ten in construction, and not a legalized distillery or saloon in the county. Juet recently, in Linoolnton, whore the prohibition law has been enforced, there was a gathering of some twenty thousand people at a Fourth of July celebration, and the papers comment ed on the fact that never was such a sobor and orderly crowd gathered in Lincoln county. I write from long years of experi ence in watching the liquor traffic. I give it as my opinion that prohibition when tho law is enforced, is the greatest blessing that can bo given to any community. I hope to live to seo tho day when the saloon, "tho blot on tho garment of our country," will bo wiped away. I wish you suc cess in your fight in Georgia. - Still Moro of lt.

French Physicians Find Toxine Which Shows Disease by Inoculation. ,i i. Prof. Chantemese, one ot the lead ing French sanitarians, has made an Important discovery of means of di agnosing typhoid fever in its incip ient stages. His methods are similar to those of Wolff, Eisner, and Plk ?rt, of Vienna, in their diagnosis of tuberculosis, consisting of the Inocu lation of a small portion of the skin wit ti tuberculin. If a person ls a victim of the (Unease a charade*i< tlc BUtaneous reaction takes place. In a healthy person there ls no such reac tion. In a similar manner if a dose of a fiftieth part of a milligram of Prof. Chantemese's specially prepared pow dered typhlc toxine ls dissolved in a drop of water and applied under the eyelid an ophthalmic diagnosis of ty phoid fever can be made if the dis ease exists. The experiment is not dangerous, and bas no effect on the general health or temperature of the patient. A slight redness of the eyes disappears in two hours. Heretofore there has never been an exact diag nosis of typhoid fever. Oh, "It's Just ns Easy!"
