Just discovered that for years she has
been responsible for tho spread of
diphtheria. Dr. G. J. Awburn of
Manchester, England, having traced
en epidemic of this disease In a sub
urb of that city to a pet cat belonging
to one of his patients, has found, after
much clever ii.vestlgatlon, that all
cats arc peculiarly susceptible to
diphtheritic affections of the throat.
He has therefore recently been warn
ing all families who own cats to
watch them carefully, and, If they de
velop coughs, to forbid their being
hugged and petted. Dr. Awburn fur
ther recommends that If the cough
perslfts and the cat begins to grow
thin to have the animal destroyed at
once. The only really safe way, he
says. Is to let the first wheezo be

NEW YOKK. A cablegram from PariB announced the wedding of Char

near Southampton. Mr. Parrish, Jr., is a Harvard graduate, and was ad

also with the Lew Field forces. In London she numbered Mrs. Oscar Lew

English Court Refuses to Aid The
atrical Press Agent.
Faked Expulsion of Women Who In
sisted on Wearing Big Hats In
Theater Called by Judge a
Fraud on Justice.
London. British courts of Justice
must not be exploited for the pur
poses of advertisement. This legal de
cision was given In a case brought by
Thomas Lumley Dann, a press agent,
against Frank Curzon, the theatrical
manager. The evidence revealed the
remarkable manner In which the pub
lic was "spoofed" over a certain mati
nee hat Incident which occurred at the
Prince of Wales theater in London
some months ngo. This incident was
manifestly a fake to all those who are
Initiated Into the ways of theatrical
advertisement. '
Mr. Dann In his action claimed 500,
which he ' alleged was the sum Mr.
Curzon agreed to pay him for arrang
ing the affair, while Mrs. Dann', who
asplsted her husband In ' the affair,
claimed $2C2 In payment for her ser
vices. Mr. Curzon admitted that he
agreed fo the Incident being arranged,
but denied that he agreed to pay these
sums.
The judgment of Judge Woodfall.
who tried the case, explains the na
ture of the Incident. . He said:
"In the early part of this year, when
the plaintiff was employed by the de
fendant as his press agent, he sug
gested to the defendant that It would
be an excellent advertisement both for
the theater and for the defendant as
manager, if the following scheme were
carried out: Two ladles and a gentle
man , were to be engaged, the ladles
were to occupy two stalls and to wear
ultra-fashionable hats. The gentleman
was to occupy a stall Immediately be
hind them, and during the fall of the
curtain peremptorily demand of them
that they should take their hats off.
"The ladles were to refuse, and the
gentleman to urgently and audibly In
sist, and the disturbance was to attain
such proportions that the defendant
should be sent for and invite the trio
outside In the corridor, and demand
of tho ladles that they should remove
their hats or leave the theater; that
the ladles should resist the demand;
that defendant should thereupon eject
them by a technical assault of laying
his hand on the shoulders of one of
them; that the ladles should leave and
summon the defendant before a magis
trate for the assult and that the de
fendant should plead the right to
protect the convenience of hlB audi
ence. "The defendant consented, and the
scheme was carried out In every de
tail, the price of their seats which
they had not paid for was ostensibly
returned to the ladles, and In pursu
ance of the plot they proceeded to
summon the defendant for assault.
"The magistrate heard the charge
and dismissed It, holding that the de
fendant was Justified in what he had
done. The plaintiffs now allege that
tho defendant agreed to pay them for
their services in carrying out the ven
ture. "I am of opinion that the agreement
alleged Is Illegal, being contrary to
public policy, and that no action Is
maintainable 'upon it And this for
two reasons: (1) The spectacle of two
ladles being peremptorily and brusque
ly treated might well have aroused In
terlocution on their behalf and led to
a serious breach of the peace. (2) The
Invocation of a court of law to punish
an offense which, to the knowledge of
the parties, had not been, even tech
nically committed, was In the nature
of a fraud on the administration of
Justice. I therefore dismiss the two
actions, and leave each party to pay
his own costs.
"In case of a successful appeal
against this decision, and to save the
expense of a second hearing, I will
Btate what otherwise would have been
my decision. I find that the defend
ant did agree to pay the plaintiff
105; that the defendant's setoff Is
valid, and I should have given Judg
ment accordingly for the defendant,
with costs. I find the defendant did
agree to pay Mrs. Dann 52 10s., and
I should have given Judgment for her,
with costs."
Chicago. J. Howard Moore told
members of the Socialist league a
lot about babies the other night Mr.
Moore discussed "Tile Iilology of the
Child" at a meeting which was held
at 1G0 Washington street.
"There Is a law In biology called
the biogenetic law. It was discov
ered by llaeckel. It Is one of the
most Important laws of the organic
world. It la this: 'Each organUra In
Its Individual development repeats
the life history of the race to which
It belongs.'
"No being comes into the world full
grown. Every being goes through the
performance of what Is called growing
before it is a complete organism.
Every being commenced as a small,
simple and rather shapeless bit of
protoplasm. The gulf between this
condition and maturity is bridged In
by a longer or shorter series of
changes in size, form and architec
ture. The remarakble thing about
these changes Is that they are strik
ingly parallel to the changes, which
the race has undergone In its evolu
tion from the beginning of the earth.
"The biogenetic law applies to men
tal phenomena as well as to
physical. Only In the light of this
law Is It possible to understand the
many strange and absurd instincts
that come and go during human in
fancy, childhood and adolescence.
It has been said that the child Is
born savage. This Is not quite true.
It Is worse than that Only after a
rather long and Inglorious prelim
inary as a quadruped 1b It able to walk
with Its pront feet In the air and
rightfully lay claim to the title of
savage."
Mr. Moore said the general Ideas of
the child. Its conception of itself, and
its outlook on the world are essen
tially the same as those of the savage
narrow, mystical, and naive. The
child believes In ghosts, fairy tales,
magic and miracles, much as the Bav
age does.
Among the points brought out by
the lecture were the following:
Tbe human baby antedates the sav
age by several huudred thousand
years.
The child Is a born ape.
The Instinct of the baby to cling to
everything within reach Is the instinct
of tbe monkey.
A stick In the hands of a baby be
comes a club.
A baby's attack on the cat is a
relic of the club stage In man's de
velopment A child's love of camp fire, the
forming of gangs among boys, the de
sire to stone dogs and snowball ped
dlers, nnd the strong love for a bow
and arrow are remnants of the ear-,

MANY OPERATIONS ON HEART
Have Become More or Less of Com
monplace In Medical History
100 Cases Recorded.
New York. Surgical operations
upon tbe heart have become more or
less of a commonplace In medical his
tory. Something approximating 100
cases of the sewing up of heart
wounds are on' record, and the recov
eries have been considerable when
one considers tbe highly dangerous
character of such work. Hitherto,
however, heart surgery has been lim
ited to accident cases.
In a recent Issue of the Annals of
Surgery one of the workers at the
Rockefeller Institute of Medical He
search discusses tbe possibility of
treating diseased hearts surgically.
He has made numerous experiments
on animals and believes that such op
erations will be successfully per
formed on human belnga in the near
future. His tests have convinced blm
that the beart can be opened, scraped
out (cleaned, so to speak), sewii up
and started off on Its "beating" path
again without any great, at leat in
superable, difficulty. By an inganlous
system of side piping and new vban
nellog he Is able temporarily o cut
out of the circulation portions of such
important vessels as the descending
aorta, the largest artery In the body,
without killing the rnlmal. Among
bis suggested operations Is one on the
coronary arteries of the beart for tbe
cure of angina pectoris.
This doctor has apparently proved
to bis own satisfaction on animals
that successful surgical Interference
with tbe great vessels and the heart
Itself Is a possibility. It Is, of course,
a long step from these experiments to
actual operations on human beings,
but there is every Indication that the
latter feat will be attempted in tbe
near future. The Intractability of
cardiac affections and their high fa
tality make tbe proposed new surgery
a thing of great general Interest, and
may Justify the extreme boldness of
the proposal.

How He Lost His Job.

who had been engaged as a llterarv
adviser In the publicity department of
the railway, "It seems to me that when
we designate a man as traveling pas
senger agent, we are tautological, at
the least."
"We are what?" asked the superior.
"Tautological. What does a travel
ing passenger agent do?"
"He goes around and gets people to
ride over our lines, of course."
"Yes. He gets passengers. Why
call blm a traveling passenger agent?
Of a necessity, a passenger must be
a traveling passenger."
"How's that?""
"I say a passenger must be a travel
ing one or he Isn't any good to us
In fact, he cannot be a passenger at
all. A passenger Is some one who
travels Tbe statement that we send
out an agent to get traveling passen
gers Is absurd on the face of It. and "
"You may convert yourself Into a
traveling passenger to the street, with
a stop-over at the cashiers' office long
enough to get what is due you to

SAVED0LD LADY'S HAIR

out and the doctors did It no good.
She says, 'Aunt, why don't you try
Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Oint

ber. In six months' time the Itching,
burning and scalding of ber head was
over and her hair began growing. To

have gathered. On a pale yellow ap

cluster of fruit, is a large fly, painted
so true to nature, so say the officials
of the gallery, that the canvas was
