C. | Barabass, pastor of Ho*ly Hosary Pol- ' Ish Church, Eastern avenue and Beth? el street, recently finished and sent to Dr. John S. Pulton, secretary of the International Congress on Tubercu? losis, which meets In Washington this week, an Interesting contribution, en? titled "A Thought Relative to the Pos? sibility of a Specific Remedy in Tu? bercular Therapy." About 18 years sgo Dr. Barabasz studied biology and experimental psy? chology in the Medical School of Paris under celebrated professors. In the paper Dr. Barabasz says, In part: "I venture to submit a thought which will gain, perhaps some consid? eration In the medical profession striving to conquer tuberculosis. I do not refer to scientific observations that have been and art constantly made along the line of pathology on that subject, nor to the ferreting out of the effects of certain remedies ad? ministered to tuberculosis animals ,for the sake of experimentation. I dis? tinctly refer to spying out the ef? forts of the animal Itself left for cure to his own Instinct v "Not long ago I had a large dog. The animal was somewhat vicious and I had to keep him chained. The ken? nel was at the en I of the yard, whero I had grass, clover and other ordinary specimens of plants. One morning the dog was feeling bad and laid for ssvsrsl hours with his mouth open and only from time to time making frantic efforts to reach the garden. "Noticing this I began to throw the dog pieces of plsnts that grew near by. He touched none of them until I threw him a piece of peppermint, which, when he saw it coming, caught the little bush In his mouth be? fore it reached the ground and de? voured It "At Intervals I began to try to feed the dog pieces of other plants that grew in the yard, but he refused all except ths peppermint. The next morning he was feeling better, and before evening was quite well. After that he would take no more pepper? mint. The dog had been ailing from stomach disorder and his natural In? stinct seemed to tell him what ho really wanted to cure his ailment. "My opinion is that by infeMlw; some animals with the germ of ttlbt r culosls and by ferreting out their in? stinctive habits, in the effort toward self-cure by means latent In nature, a specific remedy for use in tubercu? lar therapy would be disclosed. "The above suggestions seem to be consonant with sound logic and the accepted methods of empiric science. The Ingenuity of the human brain is great, yet the world admits the In? stinctive achievements of animals In many Instances seem to excel the in? telligence bf mankind by the accu? racy, certainty and simplicity in exe? cution. "My experience with the sick dog that cured himself owing to his in? stinctive recourse to a plant In my garden seems to lead to the belief that the same marvelous faculty If ob* ?t rved In the i* ts of tuberculous ani? mals may likewise give the intima? tion to the observer as to what ami where a corresponding remedy Is in nuturt."

Having her Jaws locke?! for 10 days and showing nearly all the symptoms of lockjaw as a rtsult of fright and imagination, was the experience of Mrs. Rosle E. Meyers, 17 .-'outh Small WOOw avenue. On September 6 she noticed a pim? ple on her face and began to worry over It. Someone suggested that it would be serious If Mrs. Meyers should get lockjaw. She immediately began to think how she would suffer if her Jaws should become locked, and every few minutes she wuld try to open them. Finally on September 7 she could no longer open her Jaws. At ber request faith healets were culled but were unable to relieve hei. Shu c( uld not take any solid food for nearly a week. Liquid nourish? ment was administered in the open? ing between the teeth until she be- j came so weak that members of the | family with which she boards called In Dr. Judson Miller Sunday night. As soon as he examined Mrs. Mey? ers Dr. Miller saw that she showed only a few of the symptoms of lock Jaw. The muscles of her Jaws were relaxed and soft. At first It seemed, he said, as if she might have a case of blood poisoning from irritation of the pimple on her Jaw. The Doctor finally discovered thtt Mrs. Meyers had thrown herself into trances and hypnotized herself on former occasions and concluded that she was either suffering from fright and Imagination or had thrown her? self into a hypnotic state. He ad? ministered a hypodermic Injection, and as soon as she lost consciousness she opened her mouth and took nour? ishment, after having had her Jaws locked for seven days. She now seems fully recovered.?Baltimore Sun. An Overvaluation. John K. Lloyd, the noted life-saver of Long Branch, related some of his life-saving experiences at a compli? mentary dinner. "I have had dealings with very Cemrors men," said the veteran hero, "4nd I haVe had dealings with very mean men, "Once, on a January day In Phila? delphia, a man who was recovering from a debauch fell from 6ne of the Delaware piers into the cold, w.?t river. "Slipping off my overcoat, I plung? ed In after him. I fished him up from the bottom. He was unconscious, but I managed to get him to a big, cold cake of ice, and on this cake of ice I supported the pair of us till he!p arrived. "Well, I had saved the man's life, and he said he was grateful. " 'Here, young fellow,* said he, 'here's a half dollar. You saved my life and you must be chilled through. Go and get yourself a pint of whis? key.' "But I handed him a quarter back. " 'No, no,' I said, 'a half pint's your price. You've overvalued yourself.'" ?Washington Star.

The Blowing Up of Senator Foraker May Change Ihn Whole Course of Things. So acute a crisis seems to have been caused by Senator Fcraker's sudden political downfall that it may be ask? ed whether the Presidential campaign has not now reached a momentous turning point. It is impossible to an? swer such a question. We can only observe conditions and suggest pos? sible slktM of development. There are some reasons for thinking that, when all is over, the present phase of the campaign will appear to have been the most critical that the Republican leaders had to face. How they will emerge from it is left for the coming fortnight to determine. The most important point to settle Is the effect of the latest Standard Oil disclosures upon the public mind. Tho Archibold correspondence, which Mr. Hearst Is dribbling out, has already demonstrated the liveliness of that much detested corporation's interest In three of the most essential institu? tions of the republic?legislative bodies, the court** and the" press. In a free and democratic government, these must be kept undeflled. But in the letters from Mr. Archibold to Sen? ator Foraker may be observed an In? sidious attack upon all three. First, the Standard secretly employed a United States Senator of great In? fluence to strangle bg?) not to Its lik? ing in the *Qh\o Legislature; second, the Standara Oil sought to exercise an influence upon the nomination of judges of the Supreme Court of that State; third, the Standard Oil readily advanced $50,000 of Its corporate funds to help buv if possible, one of the chief dally newspapers of the commonwealth. Can the American people study these revelations, at the present time although the events re? ferred to took place six and eight yean ago, without feeling hot resent ment? Is the Foraker episode, In short, likely to have no effect In re? viving the popviar feeling against the great corporations and in forcing both the leading political parties to em? phasize hereafter their unfriendliness to the forces of syndicated wealth. As the campaign had been develop I ing through the summer, a conserva? tive drift was perceptible. Mr. Taft preferred, in the main, to reassure business interests and. while pledg? ing himself to "clinch" the Roosevelt policies, he repeatedly sought to con? vey the Impression that his election could be depended upon to calm agi? tation and restore prosperity. Even Mr. Bryan, on his present Eastern tour has displayed) for him, compara? tively Conservative tendencies. His Carnegie Hall speech was far less "Popullsttc" than many of his nd dressea In the past, and he has been at pains everywhere to contest and ridicule Mr. Tafts assertion that a Bryan victory would Involve business chaos. Such being the situation, prl? or to the bursting up of Foraker. it Is evident that the campaign may be radically changed In character if popular wrath rises to an Intense heat once more against corporate wealth and power, it is a reasonable as? sumption that Mr. Tan's pproach Ing t >ur in the West will be lomewhal affected tin,- way or another by these latest developments, NVheth r he will adopt a much stein, r t >ne toward the so-called trusts may not be predicted, perhaps, hut it seems a safe assump? tion that the Foraker episode will leave him less free to appeal to the conservative classes of the country for support. That any change in Mr. Taft'l attitude would instantly affect Mr. Bryan's attitude is to he expeet I ed, and here we have the basis of a possible developmnt along more rad leal lines. But the possible role of the Presi? dent cannot be left out of account, and if he now grasps the opoprtunlty, as many expect he WllL to attack the Standard Oil Company in order to emphasize the contrast between Rooseveltism and Fcrakerism in the Republican party anc thus make Mr. Taft more acceptable to the radical Republicans of the West, extremist tendencies on all sides will probably be immensely intensified. **Vhat the President will do in the present crisis is a question of great Interest. He Is already an active participant in the party warfare, through letters on the Issues of the day?another of which appears this morning?and his gen? eral oversight of Mr. Taft's political interests is doubtless becoming more active week by week. The melancholy floundering of the Republican canvass from the day of Mrf Taft's nomination to the present hour cannot have fail? ed to arouse his combativeness and must have stimulated his eagerness to be something very unlike a passive spectator. If the campaign in the remaining six weeks takes on a much more hos? tile tone to syndicated wealth the question will then arise, is Mr. Taft or Mr. Bryan the more like? ly to profit therefrom? It is a ques? tion for the Republican managers to answer before they countenance any deliberate change of their p'an of campaign, or do anything to make such a change the easier or the more necessary. It is a question for Mr. Roosevelt to answer dispassionately before he takes any steps or speaks a word liable to inflame popular feeling still mora against the Archibolds, the Rockefellers and the Herri mane?

GQMPERS AS 10 BRIBE OFFER LABOR LEADER BRINGS SERI? OUS CHARGE AGAINST VAN CLEAVE. I In the Hearing of the Buck's Stove and Range Case President of Fed? eration of Labor Swears That Broughton Brandenburg, Acting: for Van Cleave, Tried to Bribe Him. Washington, Sept. 24.?Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, today introduc? ed the name of former Secretary Taft, and made serious charges against W. P. Van Cleave, president of the Na? tional Association of Manufacturers. The charges were made as a partes^ Mr. Gompers's testimony in connec? tion with the proceedings against himself, Vice President Mitchell and Secretary Morrison, of the Federation,, ^in the Buck's Stove and Range con- j tempt case. Mr. Gompers was at the time under cross-examination at the hands of his attorney, Joseph H. Ral? ston. In the case of Mr. Taft, Mr. Gom? pers, in effect, charged that he had. supplied the sentiment behind the-' injunction decree, while the direct, charge was made that Mr. Van Cleave had had Mr. Gompers and other Fed? eration officials shadowed by detec? tives and had undertaken to have Mr: Gompers bribed to deseit the cause of organized labor and join its ene mies. Mr. Ralston s efforts were directed toward showing a counter conspiracy by the manufacturers to destroy trade unionism. He read the portion of Mr. Taft's Presidential nomination ac? ceptance speech bearing on the anti injunction plank, and commenting upon the extract Mr. Gompers said: "It is substantially the basis of this injunction suit and the eyrnL-mpt pro? ceedings unler that injunction." .?ARRIMAN WANTS SEA BO A IHK His Agent Now Inspect lip: System With a View of Securing Con troll !
