MURDER OVER
RACE EQUALITY.
Negro Who Used B. T. Washing- !
ton as Illustration Kills
White Man.
' i
Dallas, Texas, Cct. 4.-A race}
equality controversy, in which
the name of Booker T. Washing
ton was mentioned, caused a ne
gro to kill a white man today and
the t ragedy nearly cost the negro
his life at the hands of a mob. |
The man who was slain was A.
Riddle, a barkeeper, and his
slayer was F. F. Manning, a por
ter. The barkeeper forbade him
from entertaining a woman
friend in the saloon. The negro
demanded an apology, which the
white man refused to make. The
negro then declared that Booker
T. Washington was as good as
any white man and that his
friend was as good as any white
woman. Manning says Riddle
drew a pistol and compelled him
to apologize.
“I made up my mind right
there,” the negro stated, “to
kill Riddle for revenge at the
first opportunity. This morning
I saw him with his back turned.
He was writing at a cigar stand.
I quietly slipped up, placed the
muzzle of a pistol close to his
head and fired a bullet into it.”

THE COUNTRY PHYSICIAN.
Has to Cover an Immense Territory,
and That When the Roads
▲re Worst.
✓
“Of all the men I medt on my
rounds of the Btate there is none
for whom I have as great respect
as I have for the country doctor,”
said the Southdown drummer
the othei day, according to the
Chicago Inter Ocean. “The city
physician is often a pretty hard
working man if he has much of a
practice, but he knows few of the
trials that the country doctor
faces the year round. The coun
try doctor is the modern mar
tyr, and take it all through he in
the best read and most aggres
sive citizen of his community.
“The country phsician who is
well established usually has a
practice that covers a territory
of at least a hundred square
miles. There is hardly a week in
the year that he does not have
patients at the extreme opposite
boundary lines of his territory.
I know one old doctor down the
state who drives an average dis
tance of 20 miles a day every day
in the year. Of course there are
days when he does not drive five
miles a day, but there are other
times when he drives 30 or 40
miles a day:
"rne worst siae oi country
practice, these doctors say, is
that the greater part of the sick
ness comes during the worst kind
of weather. When the roads are
good and the weather is fine peo
ple are not so apt to be sick, but
when winter comes on and the
roads are rough or muddy the
eountry doctor is the man who
has to be out and going.
“The mud roads of Illinois
have snipped ten years off the
lives of the majority of the doc
tors. One physician told me he
was the first man of his family
name to become gray, and he laid
the blame to exposure.
“The country doctor is not
merely a physician. He is a sort
of family counselor, nurse, spirit
ual and legal adviser. I heard of
a physician flown in the southern
part of the state who conducted
a sort of vest-pocket bank and
loaned money and discounted
ootes for nearly every farmer
within the range of his practice.
“Yes, sir, I always take off my
hat to the country doctor wher
ever I meet him.”
THE CAUSE OF LEPROSY.
Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson, of Eng
land, Says It Is the Eating of
Decomposing Irish.
The conclusion of Dr. Jonathan
Hutchinson, of England, after a
study of leprosy as it appears in
rarious parts of the world, is that
the disease is caused wholly by
eating decomposing or imperfect
ly cured fish. The London Times
is inclined to accept Dr. Hutchin
son’s idea. It is held that in all
countries and in all ages leprosy
has been and is still due to the
> • m i it /i _ w m 1. _

preference for fish in a tainted
condition is an “acquired taste”
and it is claimed that it prevail*
among a sufficient number of peo
pie to account for the dreadful dis
ease wherever it exists. Leprosy
was nearly general in England
and on the continent in the six
teenth century, and it is claimed
still prevails in many fishing sta
tions, especialv in Norway, Ice
land and Tracadie. It is repre
sented that at these places there
Is still a preference for fish in a
tainted condition. It is noted,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer,
that in regions where leprosy was
formerly common, it has disap
peared with the advancement of
agriculture and the discarding of
fish for food. In India vegetari
ans are free from it, but the fish
eaters are much troubled. Dr.
Hansen, of Bergen, discovered
that persons having leprosy carrv
In their tissue a bacillus resem
bling that of tuberculosis, and the
disease is thought to be a mod
ification of tuberculosis, caused
by a specific virus developed in de
caying fish. The scientists, espe
cially those whose direction is in
the medical line, are always mak
fng it harder to get along in the
world; but it is probably better to
give heed to their theories, even ii
there may be nothing in them, for
It may happen that a little care in
the selection of the dried fish we
eat may add a few years to life;
and it is the general agreement
that life is none too long at best.
