INAUGURATED Provisional Governor Magoon Es corts General Gomes to the Palace For the Inauguration Ceremonies, *nd Then Sails Frotn the Island on the New Maine?Cuban Gunboat Sees the Americans Safely Off. Havana, By Cable.?Major Gen. eral Jose Miguel Gomez was inaugu rated President of the restored Cuban republic Thursday at noon and with in an hour after he had taken the solemn oath of office administered by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the American officials who had been in coptrol of affairs since the autumn of 1906 had departed from the island. The American provisional Gover nor, Charles E. Magoon, who escorted General Gomez to the pAlaee and there turned over to him the reins of government, sailed on the new Maine. The Maine was followed by tho battleship Mississippi and the trmy transport McClellan. A swarm of small vessels joined in the proces sion out of the harbor. A Cuban gunboat also accompanied tho ships some little distance to sea with a band on board playing from time to time the Cnban national an them. Earlier in tho day Governor Magoon and President-elect Gomez wero seated side by side in the car riage en route to the palace in the wake of a galloping escort of rural guards or native cavalry there was pilenco on the part of the holiday throngs who lined the sidewalks.

Nine Men Are Now in the Jury Box to Hear the Cooper Trial?Fourth Venire is Ordered. Nashville, Tenn., Special.?The ninth day of the trial- of Duncan B. Cooper, Robin Cooper and John D. Sharp, for the murder of former Sen ator Edward W. Carmack closed with two additions having been made to the jury, which now numbers 9. The two recent acquisitions are Gus Knipfer and P. 0. Beirman. Up to Friday Night, 1,165 tales men have been examined in an effort to get the 12 men. Of those who qualified the State challenged 13, the defense challenged 23 and the court summarily excused two after they had been declared satisfactory to both sides. It is concedcd that the action of the State in charging two talisment with perjury has greatly reduced the chances of getting a jury at once. Many of those summoned say they may havo expressed an opinion at the time tho murder occurred, and for fear of an indictment, they disquali fy themselves. After hearing testimony in the case of Juror Whitworth, whose health is said to be such that his life would be endangered by tho confinement inci dent to the trial of the case, Judge Hart was disposed to excuse him at ooee, but the State asked that a de ermon we withheld until tho noxt pan el was exhnusfed. MORE AMWmUGRA A Or?r? Menace to Health Consider ation in the South. Washington, Special.?Looming up M a grave menace to health condi tions in the South is the reeent ap pearance ot a deadly disease known to medical seientists aR "pellagra." For several centuries 44 pellagra" is known to havo existed in the Old World, but its presence in the South has but recently been discovered. This poculiar disease has been di agnosed as true pellagra and the rcedit for its discovery in the South belongs to Passed Assistant Surgeon C. II. Lavindcr, of the public health and marine hospital service. "Pel lagra" is a malady caused by the eating of spoiled "maize" and pro duce* in persons afflicted with it a *?rt of intoxication. The disease gen erally occurs among the poorer classes of the rural population who subsist largely or exclusively, on corn most usually prepared by boiling corn nu;al in salt water called "pol n"^' I-avinder states (nat In pellagrous countries the corn !L# . n poor quality, gathered before maturity and not properly cured end stored, so that parasite's *?8*ly develop u|H>n it. The diseaso usually begins with eastro-Jntestinal disturbances." savs Assistant Surgeon Lavindcr, "follow ed shortly by the erythema of the ?kwi, and in a brief while there is more or less involvement of (he ner vous system. It is slowly advancing toxemia, the bnint of which, in the end, is borne by the nervous system, ana each annual recurrence leaves n deeper and mare indelible mark oil the mental and nervous condition of ho sufferer." The pent "ravilv * \n the number of peoplo affected and in its immediate end remote con sequences not only to individuals, but to the race?intellectual feebleness, lessened resistance, economic loss, Physical deterioration of the rac-v Concerning the etiology of the dis ease, it is said to he an intoxication due to using flS food Indian corn (maire) which under the influence of unidentified parasitic growths (fungi), has undergone certain ehanges with the production of one or more toxic substances of n chem ical natures. Within the past two or three years, for some reason or rea sons unknown, this disease has rap idly iucrcased in numbers and ex tent of torritory affeetd. "PUagra" bears a close resemblance to the ac tent to territory effected. "Pellngra" it oecurs in the old world, thouglTdif fenng in some particulars, and the acute eases greatly preponderate and the mortality is high. "Since it is of a serious nature, and epidemic in character," declares Dr. Lavindcr, knowledge concerning it is becom ing of much importance to the Amer ican physician nnd especially to the practitioner in the Southern States."
