t\Vi'S' * fc.; LEPROSY IN AIKEN. Aged Lady Has Dread Disease and People Are Stirred. Discovered to be afflicted with ? leprosy, Miss Mary V. Kirke, an aged i lady of Aiken, is to be removed from her home in the center of the town, to a small house built three miles j from Aiken by the town authorities. The case has wrought up the citizens of Aiken to a high degree and for several days armed guards nave been on duty around the house to prevent the. possibility of contagion. ( On this point the people of Aiken are at variance with the physicians . attending the case, who contend that j v the malady is Anaesthetic Leprosy j and is not contagious. The doctors have brought to strengthen their case : a letter from the chair man of the ] board of health of South Carolina, . saying that Anaesthetic Leprosy is j not contagious. Notwithstanding this j the people of Aiken are determined < * ? ? -J nrn n OT to ta&e no cnanctrc auu aic guai<nu& the Kirke residence, and have already begun building the house of detention in an isolated spot away from the town to which Mrs. Kirke will "be carried. Augusta physicians who have been approached by representatives of the Herald side with the people who have taken these precau-1 tionary measures, and give it as their opinion that this form of leprosy is contagious. - The following letter is submitted by the Aiken physicians, wlio have had - the case in charge, to sustain their fea position. The letter is directed to Dr. Kirke, a nephew of the stricken T lady, and is signed by Robert WilP' kins, Jr., Chairman of the State Board of Health of South Carolina: |g?;i. "In reply to your inquiry in regard r to the contagiousness of Anaesthetic t. Leprosy, I have no hesitancy in say Ing that a patient with this disease is In no ways dangerous to the comamnity in which he .or she may rei^side." 1*^; Mrs. Kirke was at one time an Episcopal missionary to South America. She came to Aiken a number of years ago and buying a residence here took up her abode and has not moved since. For three years Mrs. Kirke has ?C^; been. blind. Common report has it ;that at tne time sne uecamc ?u ari j ^ filcted she gave up hope that her mal-1( J&.Y-ady was other than leprosy, and ?>: openly announced that she had that YY disease. Since then she lived alone attached to her presence of a Mrs. , r*;\ Edmondson, who became attached to * ; her and who remains in the guarded . ?'< House with the stricken lady in the , ^ capacity of nurse. For the last sev- r eral years Mrs. Kirke has been at- ' jg| tended by Dr. Croft, a local physieian, who says the lady has leprosy. The evidences of some disease . have become more manifest during J the last several years. Since her 1 blindness, Mrs. Kirke has lost the ?Vfingers on one band and one on the . other. Her limbs below the knees , are without feeling, even boiling wa- , ter making no sensation which is ! -perceptible to her. It is said to be 1 Mrs. Kirke's belief that her limbs . will drop off below the knees as her f^Yflngers have done. For several years ] |b.^ she has made her, appearance on the . fe- streets, being led by Mrs. Edmond- 1 son, with her hands encased in band- j ages or gloves. SSptr Neighbors who had for a long time 1 been curious about the lady's condi- 1 tion, have recently begun to make |i| ihore searching inquiries which cul- ( ijv. 'miaated a few days ago in a report 1 of the matter, to lee out it: uuaiu vt g^:" Health. The Aiken authorities detided to place the guards around the Bali house simultaneously with the report 1 jjgfeand the guards have remained there s since. i 1||^ Mrs. Kirke's residence is on the 1 main street and within two blocks < of the business portion of the city, i The house is a large two story build- i iiig situated on the main street. It 1 I- is painted white with green trim- < ?&' mings and it is surrounded by an < evergreen hedge. The house is about ]fifteen feet from the street and has < .. small porches on each side of the < ^ house. The house is in the middle ] j|?.: of the lot, which is well shaded and i neatly kept. . 1 r Augusta physicians commenting on i f; the peculiarity of the disease as \ shown by Mrs. Kirke's having no feel- i ing in the parts affected, and upon 1 ?-- the knowledge of physicians that the 1 v disease is uncurable. give an in- 1 P stance celebrated in medical lore. 1 - The case was one where a well known physician discovered he had * gi the malady by accidentally touching 1 |.?, a hot lamp and finding he did not j feel the heat. J Mrs. Kirke is known as a most es- ] timable lady, and the fears of the 5 people of Aiken are mixed with deep 1 feelings of regret that she is so af- 1 dieted. Mrs. Kirke is 60 years old. '< rZy ?Augusta Heraia. ; ' y ' l Reprimanded by Judge. Union City, Jan. 6.?After a bitter attack upon the governor of Tennessee and an attempt to bring the kill- i Ing of former United States Senator 1 Carmack, into the night rider case, late to-day, Rice Pierce, senior coun- 1 sel for the accused men, was repri- 1 manded by Judge Jones. : Pierce was preparing to close and 1 was discussing the testimony of Fer- . ringer, Hogg, and Morris, the three 1 night riders who turned State's evi- j dence. 1 He launched into violent denuncia- ' tion of Governor Patterson, saying i the Governor, "after sending an army 1 into Obion county to trample upon the rights of people, to snatch honest men from their homes and bully and i abuse them, offers a reward of ten thousands dollars for Rankin's murderers." Continuing he said: "Now I denounce murder, whether it be a cowardly assassination on the streets of the capital city or an equally cowardly murder on the banks of Reelfoot Lake, but I submit that all men before the law are equal, and the man I or men who assassinated Carmack are entitled no better treatment than those who killed Rankin." Dicussing the pardon offered the three men Pierce said: "Just what else he offered them, f do not know but I believe I have right to say he bribed witnesses to perjure themselves." ! ATTEMPTED ASSAULT. Negro Attacks Girl in Fashionable Richmond Quarter. Richmond, Va., Jan. 10.?In the heart of the most fashionable district of this city at an early hour this morning Miss Marie Louise Stumpf, 19 years of age, daughter of E. A. Stumpf, a business man of this city, was severely beaten and only saved from being criminally assaulted by the timely appearance of Irvin Pool, who was attracted to the scene by her cries. The perpetrator of the crime was Charles Gillespie, a negro 25 years of age, who is now under arrest and will be given a hearing as soon as Miss Stumpf is able to appear before a special grand jury. The crime occurred at 6:30 this morning, when Miss Stumpf was on her way to mass. The negro sprang at her, beating her a blow with his Qst, knocking her down. This he repeated when she arose and he then endeavored to accomplish his purpose, wounding her in the face and neck with his teeth. Miss Stumpf " I4V ryvr rtf H OOT1Q 1T* [OUgUl WILLI LUC LieU-IiJ VI uvsyu.. . She finally succeeded in regaining her feet and started to run. Her screams had attracted the attention of Pool, who was escorting a young lady telephone operator to her work, and when the negro saw Pool approaching he turned and fled. Miss Stumpf fell at the feet of Pool and the young lady, who carried her to a nearby residence, from whence she was removed to her home. About two hours after the crime Detectives *lournoy and Tiller discovered a negro at the corner of Beech and Main streets, about a mile from the scene of the crime, having lis shoes polished. He answered the partial description, and upon being irrested and searched was found to lave a ring and bracelet in his possession which had been torn from Miss Sttumpf. When the crime became known ;here was considerable excitement in ;hat neighborhood of the city, which was soon dispelled by the prompt ac;ion of Judge Witt. The judge came n person to the police station and imphatically announced that there would be a speedy trial of the negro ind that he would summon a special ?rand jury to indict him as soon as Miss Stumpf is allowed by her physicians to testify. Wright Not Afraid. Washington, Jan. 6.?"I have not leen measured for my shroud yet, lor can I say I am afraid to go home n the dark," commented Justice Daniel Thew Wright to-day when isked about the hundreds of threatening letters sent to him by persons who were displeased over his recent lecision sentencing Samuel Gompers, rohn Mitchell and Frank Morrison to prison for contempt of court. "Of such communications I have eceived a waste basket full," said :he justice, "but I am losing no sleep pver the threats contained in them. [ am amused, rather than terror zed." One of the writers declares that le will arrive in five days to kill the justice, while another asserts that 'your decision will be a very unlealthy affair for you before we are lone with you. The undertaker will iave ?a job down your way before ong, and you wili be the chief nourner." Many of the letters sent to the chief justice contain insulting comnents on the decision. TALK FOR YOUR TOWN. When one finds he is out of sympathy with bis town, and can only >ay a good word for it coupled with m apology, he ought to get out. Many people fall into a sort of unconscious habit of growling. But t's a miserable habit. Such people nake of themselves a dead weight, tvhile, of course, they imagine :hemselves particularly independent. The individual has about all le can do to get along under his )wn loads; and he wants help and encouragement from those going his way, and who are identified with him r> interest. So with the town. It aas its interest to care for, and it aeeds all the pluck, all the energy, ill the co-operation and helpfulness ts citizens can provide and bring to aear. Every man is a part of his town. The town embraces the fortunes, and in some measures at least takes on the character of the man. 3o loyalty to one's town is no more than loyalty to one's self; and this loyalty is in the line of all well shaped human nature. Therefore it is right to say that the man who does aot stand up for his own town is in some way dwarfed. There is something wrong about him. His fellows svill pass their judgment upon him, and the chances are that while he may add to the discomfort of others tie will not escape making himself unhappy. Consumption Can be Cured. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 6.?What is considered by medical men to be the most important discovery in the war against tuberculosis since the finding: of the tuberculosis bacillus by Koch, is contained in an announcement by Dr. Randle C. Rosenbergh, of the chair of bacteriology at Jefferson Medical College. Dr. Rosenbergh declares that the tuberculosis germ can be located in the blood before it reaches the lungs, and that in view of this can be destroyed by very simple treatment. By use of antitoxine, he thinks, the disease can be soon stamped out. A paper on Dr. Rosenbergh's researches is to appear in a medical journal, but the results he says he has obtained were discussed yesterday before the faculty of Jefferson College. In view of professional ethics, however, the doctor declined to talk about his researches outside of medical circles. If the theory that the tuberculosis germs first make their appearance in the blood of the patient is correct, it is believed that the injection of antitoxine or virus would prevent their reaching the lungs, practically rendering the patient immune. "If this is all that is hoped for," said Dr. Lawrence Flick, president of Phillip's Institute for Consumptives, last night, "the fight against the great white plague is wpn." BIRTH EVERY FOUR MINUTES. New York Had Death Every Seven Minutes During Year 1008. Greater New York is one of the most healthful cities on the globe? at least it has been during the past year, according to Health Commissioner Darlington. He says that in this period there have been only 73,071 deaths, a rate of 16.52 per 1,000, the lowest rate in the history of the city. The stork has been busy,-for during 1903 there were 126,863 births, a rate of 28.68'per 1,000, which far outstrips the death rate. It is the highest percentage of births in the last ten years, Dr. Darlington says. He admits that Cupid has not been so busy this year, as the total number of marriages was 47,490, a decrease of 3,598 over last year. The enforcement of the new license law and the business depression he thinks are the reasons. The births were at the rate of one about every four minutes; deaths, one every seven minutes; marriages, r?n? pvprv twelve minutes. This year the deaths from typhoid fever show a decrease of 197 from the yearly average of the last five years; malarial fever shows a decrease of 42; whooping cough, 184; diphtheria and croup, 317; influenza, 77. Even the great white scourge has lessened its ravages in New York, for it shows a decrease from years average of the last five years of 573 deaths. The deaths from spinal meningitis are 778 under the average; appoplexy, 1,116; acute bronchitis, 735; pneumonia, 2,323; bronchial pneumonia, 149; accidents, 362. The decrease in the deaths of children under 5 years from the yearly average of the last five years was 3,015. The decrease of deaths of persons of 65 years or over was 996. The total decrease from the average of the last five years was 9,249. There were four diseases the death roll of which showed an increase over the averages of five years. They were: Measles, 39; scarlet fever, 599; cancer, 76; suicides, 151. Woman Killed Man Rather than Elope. Newark, N. J., Jan. 7.?The trial of Mrs. Josephine Amore, now in progress here, is the first time in fifteen years that a woman has been tried for murder in this, Essex county, New Jersey. Mrs. Amore was indicted on her own confession of having killed Michael Martellc on August 5th last, because he threatened to take her life if she did not elope with him. She shot him as he climbed through her kitchen window. Almost Drowns. Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 7.?In an attempt to emulate the jnen who style themselves "Handcuff Kings a young man who calls himself Albertine, nearly perished in the surf here yesterday. Tightly laced in a straight jacket, he endeavored to show his ability to free himself while under water. Benumbed by the cold, he lost consciousness and was nearly drowned before being rescued by life savers. Albertus jumped into the water from a row boat but it was seen immediately that he was not making a success of his experiment. Twice he rose to the surface struggling, then sank to rise again a third time. Only one arm, however, could be free from the jacket and the life savers intervened to prevent a tragedy. Aeronaut's Narrow Escape. Columbus, Ga., Jan. 8.?Jack Paney, an aeronaut giving exhibitions at the Phoenix City, Ala., fair, escaped death this afternoon by being caught in a mad descent to earth by a string of telephone wires. Five thousand people experienced a thrill as Paney's parachute, in which he was preparing to jump, became out of order when the man cut loose from his halloon. The aeronaut struck t'ie wires with terrific force, and they sagged beneath his weight to the extent that the spectators held their breath, expecting to see the fall completed to earth. He was rescued with difficulty by a companion, who climbed a tree nearby. He was not seriously injured. Boys Charged with Murder. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 8.?Five boys, ranging in age from 8 to 13 years, were arrested in their class rooms in the Shaw school to-day and charged with the murder of William Wachter, a peddler, who was found with his skull crushed Wednesday. The man was found dying by neighbors. He kept so much to himself that he was known in his neighborhood as a miser and hermit. The arrests followed information fhp nnlice by Mrs. Mary 5-lVC.H 1,W r Goebehardt, mother of two of the prisoners. The boys are Joseph Leo, 13 years old; George Remmel, 12; Frank Mammic, 9, and Henry and Arthur Goebehardt, 11 and 8 years old, respectively. They told the police that they had stoned Wachter "just for fun." Roanoke Policemen Enforce Law. Roanoke, Jan. 10.?Mayor Cutchin's order to the police department to enforce every law and ordinance was carried out today. No cigars, tobacco, fruit, confections, toilet articles or other merchandise were sold. One cigar stand gave away cigarb to all its patrons. The police halted all milk wagons, drays, wagons, ice cream wagons, and street hacks and took the names of the drivers and owners of the vehicles. The numbers of all street cars and the names of the motormen and conductors running them were recorded and the number of freight trains running through the city not hauling perishable matter were noted. The anti-spitting and all other ordinances were rigidly enforced. The mayor's order was accepted good naturedly by the people and there were no clashes between citizens and officers. / KILLED BEATING RIDE. Tillman Powell, Young White Man of Sumter, Loses His Life. Sumter, Jan. 9.?Tillman Powell, a young white man about 19 years old, whose home is in this city, was killed last night at Strawberry, a station on the Atlantic Coast Line, near Charleston, while beating a ride on a freight train. Accompanied by James Curran he went to Charleston several days ago to look for work, and having failed to get a job they were hoboing it home. They left Charleston in a box car, but when the train stopped at Strawberry they had to get out and wait until the train started to escape detection by the train crew. When the train pulled out they attempted to board it, but Powell lost his grip on the ladder between the cars and fell beneath the wheels, 20 cars passing over his body, rnrran was mnrp fortunate and re VU1 A UrU ff V?w _ tained his hold on the ladder. He says he tried to catch Powell as he fell hut missed him and narrowly escaped falling beneath the wheels. Powell was the son of Mr. Benj. M. Powell, of this city. The body will be brought here for burial. Protect Your Town. Protect your own town and thereby show that you are in favor of protection. If protection is good for the nation it is good for the town. As townspeople we should favor our town above every other as the growth and development of it is what will enhance the value of ail property, both in and about it. Then buy your dry goods, groceries, hardware, furniture, etc., at home; have your printing, your blacksmithing, your shoemaking done at home; patronize home in every instance that you can. The success of our vmerchants and mechanics means "new business houses and residences, additional demands for labor of various kinds. To the farmer a first-class town affords a better market for his grain, a better trading point, and such a town is bound to increase the lvalue of his land. Unquestionably "in union there is strength." Let us protect our town. The "Knockers." If the "knockers"could be made to realize that in their talk they always hurt themselves quite as much as those whom they "knock," they would not be so active. Every man has his friends. Some times it happens that the man who is "knocked" hafe as many friends as the man who "knocks." "Knocking" is a game that, while always^ injurious, can be made to work both ways. nut fViaro ic nnnthpr consideration. XJUt tUVI V Every time a single business in the community is injured, every other business in the community suffers. Every time a man is pulled down, the foundations upon which all other men are standing become weakened. Every time confidence in one man becomes destroyed, confidence in all other men becomes impaired. These are facts. Therefore it would seem that selfinterest, if nothing else, should cause men to "boost" instead of "knock." Self-interest, if nothing else, should cause men to try to help others, instead of trying to injure them. Selfinterest, if nothing else, should cause us to try to hold men up, instead of trying to throw them down. Attacked by Hawk. Union, S. C., Jan. 5.?Miss Hannah Lee, sister of Mr. M. B. Lee, of Bogansville, heard a commotion among the fowls in the yard a day last week and ran out to find a large white hawk trying to kill a hen. She went up to the hawk and strucK at it and in attempting to fly away it got caught in a wire fence. She then beat the hawk over the head until she thought it dead, and picked it up and threw it upon the chicken house. A few minutes later she went out and found the hawk reviving. She caught hold of it to throw it to the ground to kill it and when she did so the hawk stuck its sharp claws in her hand, inflicting a painful wound. Attempt to Swindle. Dillon, S. C., Jan. 8.?Investigation by an insurance company has brought to light the facts that Harley Hayes, who was supposed to be dead was alive and living in another town under an assumed name, and the grave supposed to contain Hayes body really was occupied by a dead hog. Some time ago Hayes disappeared, and a -badly decomposed body was found in a swamp near here. Owing to the condition of the body the identification was superficial and the Hayes watch being found in the clothes on the supposed corpse, the coroner decided that a post mortem was unnecessary. Hayes had an insurance policy for $5,000. The company in which the policy was " ' 1 ' -J ? ?~?AB+lorQf}nn maHp and neia nau au mvcougauvu Hayes was found alive at Manning. The grave was then opened and it was found that the body it contained was that of a hog. The animal had been shaved and covered with Hayes' coat. Hayes denies that he made any effort to collect the insurance. Two Blind Inmates Perish. Lancaster, Jan. 8.?A fire which originated about 10 o'clock last night at the county home, three miles east of Lancaster, burned two of the houses occupied by the inmates. In one of these houses were two blind negroes, one an aged woman, Jane McKinney, and a boy about 12 years of age, Joe Reed, both of whom were burned, along with the house. This house was almost burned down when the fire was discovered. The other house, which was burned, was occupied by white inmates but they were got out and practically all of the contents of the house. There was also a small out house for storing provisions burned but fortunately there was very little in it. Mr. Mackey, who had been elected superintendent for the ensuing year, had only yesterday moved in. HARGIS GOT ON WILD DRUNK. J After Mistrial for Murder of Father He Shoots Up Town. Lexington, Ky., Jan. 8.?Less than 12 hours after being released from jail at Irvine, where his trial for the murder of his father resulted in a hung jury, Beach Hargis returned to Jackson, drunk and "shot up" the town. Instead of going direct to Hot Springs to remain until his next trial, as he had promised mother and uncles, who signed his bail bond for $15,000, he returned to his old home and celebrated his release. Because of this fact, it is said, his uncles will have him taken into custody, surrendered into court, and ask to be relieved of surety of his appearance at the April term of Estell court.
