‘THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. MILLIONS OF MICROBES|HE ENDED WIS LIFE The Real Cause of Every Known Disease. CaN BE ERADICATED BY MICROBE KILLER. THEY RADAM’S A Simple, Natural Remedy—The Great- est Discovery of Modern Times—In- expensive, Pleasant, Effective. Mr. Wm. Radam 1s the discoverer of a new theory of disease, and of a new method for the treatinent of Gisease. This naturally subjects bim to the adverse criticism of physicians. A vew thing is almost always met with condemration. There never yet has been a discovery made that was not tadoced ond met with ridicule. Physicians, as a ches, have exhibited more bigotry im this way than anybody else. Everything which has brought sbout development in medical sclence has had to fight its way against the combired prejudice and ultra conservatism of the profession generally. The fact that Mr. Radam’s discovery has logic and reason on its side, and the fact that by bis treatment thousands of people Eave been cured of diseases previously con- sidered incurable, seems to have no weight with the doctors. As a matter of fact, It makes very little difference whether physicians belleve in the efficacy of Radam’s Microbe Killer or not. So long as the remedy cures, the people who take it do not care very much about theories. They may not evem care to understand why it cures all manner of discases, though the rea:cns for this are very simple. Years ago Mr. Radam discovered that disease in plants was caused by fermentation, and the fermenting matter was alive; he found out that all the diseases of plant life were due to this one thing; that the rust om rose leaves was nothing but fermentation, the result of the action of mi- crobes; that the rotting away of the wood of plants was fermentation. Mr. Radam also noticwd that plints inherited the seeds of microbes. On meny occasions he preserved the seeds of a yellow- looking Arbor Vitae that waa sickly, and sowed them. ‘The result was a grewth of sickly-looking yellow plants, which very soon either died or never amounted to anything. The blight of a pear tree he trarsfezred from a yellow-lookirg tree to a which very 300n afterward became yellow and sickly. By 2 long series of experiments Mr. Itadam perfected a preparation that would effectually de- story the miercbes om a plant without in any way hurting the plant. To apply his theory of the Gireases of plants to tke diseases of human beings was but a natural sequenee. If microbes would <iuse fermentation in plants, and s0 cause various diseases, it was very probable that discases in human beings might be caused in the same way. If a certain treatment would stop fermentation in ene place it certainly ought to stop it in the other. On this theory a great number of expertments were nade, ard Mr. Radam, who for many years had been almost an invalid with consumption, found himself becoming strong and well. Finally, when he believed that his remedy was perfected, it was given to other people, and from that time to this ite success has been rearksble and continuous. It Js not a medieine for any one particular dis- ease. It is not 1 medicine at all in the general acceptation of the word. It is exactly what its egme exlls it—a killer of microbes. There is no disease that is not caused by microbes. They may be of one form or another, and se may show their presence by different symptoms and by disorders In various parts of the body. The symptoms may be called consumption, or eczema, or dyspepsia, or paralysis. It doesn't. make any difference what it 1s called—the cause is alway the came. Under & powerful microscope the blood of any one suffer- ing from any disease will be shown to be full of minute animal life—microbes. If these microbes or kerms can be killed the disease 1s, cured immedi- ately, becatse the eatse of it Is destroyed. It makes no difference what your doctor says is the matter with you. If you will make a test of Mr. Radam's “Microbe Killer” yon will have no more trouble. All the theory and argument that could b+ crowded into a whole library would not do so much to convince you of the wonderful prope-ties of this remedy as a trial of it will do in less than a month.

Radam Microbe Killer Co., 121 Prince st., New York city, ocl9 or Washirgton office, 1018 7th st. n.w. FOR SELL Several Cases of Police Court. This morning in the Police Court Lawyer Carrington entertained the audience for more than an hour in pleading for the lib- erty of an old colored man named John Butler, whose humble home is on the com- mons near 16th and B streets northeast. "the old man had been complained against for keeping an alleged “speak-easy” for the accommodation of his neighbors Sundays, when the keepers of licensed saloons are required to keep their places closed. isaac Blake and Charles Qualls, the wit- nesses for the prosecution, appeared on the stand and gave contradictory testimony. ‘They said they had been in there and made purchases of gin and beer. The police fur- nished money and sent them to old “Uncle Joe's” little home, but en this occasion they were refused. The officers had in court two demijohns, one of which contained a pint of gin and two bottles of beer found on the old man’s premises. Three dozen empty beer bottles found there were not taken to be used in evidence. ‘The defendant was put on the stand and he made a sweeping denial of the charge. Counsel during the course of his argu- ment denounced the ccnduct of the officers in furnishing money, and argued that the charge had been fully met and disproved. So far as he was concerned, he could not see how the court could deprive the poor old man of his liberty on such contradictory evidence. “Here's a pint of gin and two bottles of beer,” said counsel. “Go in the houses of officers or attorneys, and how much beer will you find? There is hardly a citizen int Whose nouse you will not find a box of beer or several bottles of beer for use by some member of the family.” Judge Kimball spoke of the proof and said no policeman has the right to put temptation im the way of people and lead them to violate the law. In this case, how- ever, no such thing had been done, and the cfficer is to be commended for his conduct in the case. In conclusion the judge said that while he was morally certain of the man’s guilt, the proof raised a legal joubt, and this he gave the benefit of to the old man and dis- missed the case. Another Case. Alice Suekers, a colored woman who lives on O street, was called on a charge of do- ing a liquor business without a license. Mr. Pugh had sworn in the case the three colored witnesses whose names had been presented by the police. The first witness, a colored man, said he had been in the penitentiary twice on charges of stealing, and the court excused him. Two others were called, but as they de- clared they had never been im Alice’s house, the court dismissed the case. In the sixth precinct, William Coleman was arrested yesterday for conducting an alleged “speak-easy.” Precinct Detective Hartigan had charge of the raiding party, and he had a small amount of whisky and beer in court as evi- dence. Counsel demanded a jury -trial, and the case went over. John Newlin’s house in Ridge street alley was raided by Sergt. Dunnigan and a squad of officers, while the house of Ellen Doug- lass on Covington street was raided later in the day. When their cases were called in court today their attorneys demanded jury trials, and the cases were continued. > Denth of Gen. MacPherson. Advices from Verezuela announce the death of Gen. T. A.

NO REASONS GIVEN As Policemen McDaniel and Orianni of the first precinct were patrolling their beat on B street near 12th at 3:20 o'clock this morning the reports of three pistol shots fired in rapid succession reached their ears. The startling sounds emanated from the Smithsonian grounds, and the policemen hastened in that direction. Without difmfi- culty they located the form of a man lying in a pool of blood in the park near B street between llth and 12th streets. Blood was pouring from a wound in the right breast and from the mouth, and a 32-caliber re- volver, covered with blood, was ‘lying on the ground nearby. A hasty examination disclosed the fact that the man was already dead. The first precinct patrol wagon was summoned to the spot and the dead man taken to the sta- tion. He was about forty-five years of age, well dressed and of a refined appearance. A search of the clothing disclosed $0.91 in cash, a costly gold watch, iwo pairs of gold-framed eyeglasses, a bunch of keys, several other trinkets, a box of cartridges and a sealed envelope addressed to Mr. Manger, 407 Kentucky avenue southeast. The kody was removed to the morgue and Ccrcner Hammett notitied. There was nothing about the body that gave the slightest clue to the identity of the suicide, with the possible exception of the scaled communication referred to. Therefore the Police as scon as possible communicatea with Mr. Manger, who visited the first pre- cinct station and opened the letter. Mr. Manger at once informed the police that the dead man was a friend of his, named Louis Marbes, a restaurant keeper of 101 North Bradford street, Baltimore, Md. The letter was in German, and, trans- lated, was as follows: “Dear Friend Manger: It is impossible for me to keep my promise to visit you. I am contemplating a tmp which I cannot Pestpone. Do not be angry with me for this, ard remember me kindly in your thoughts. Be good enough to visit my fam- ily and assist in comforting them. I may be reproached for this action, but it is im- Possible to do otherwise. Life, as I see it, ras no longer ary charms for me. With friendliest preetings, yours, “LOUIS-MARBES,” Knew No Reasom 1: Db Mr. Andrew B. Manger,:to whom the Tet- ter was addressed, explained to a Star re- Porter that the dead was was a reputable citizen and business man of Baltimore. He has a wife ard two children, and Mr. Man- ger knew of ro reason why he should take bis life. a ee “I met him Saturday’ morning,” he said, “at Ist street and: Pennsylvania ‘avenue. He had just reached this city from Balti- tore, and appeared to be in the best of spirits. I invited: him to visit my home, and he promised to do so. That was the lest I saw vf nim alive. The only other y.sit ne paid to this eity in recent years, so far as my krowledge goes, was. last sum- mer, when he was my guest for a few days. I am not aware of any. trouble that: could have impelled Mr. Marbes to commit such a rash act.” % Coroner Hammett viewed the body this afternoon, and gave permission for its re- moval by an undertaker. Mr. Manger tele- grapked to the family of the dead man in Baltimore for instructions, and it is likely that the remains will be taken to the home of the deceased late this afternoon. It could not be learned where Mr. Marbes was located in this city from his arrival = Saturday morning until he shot him- self. ee FEDERAL INTERVENTION. . Altgeld’s Argument Before a New York Gathering. John P. Altgeld, governor of Tilinois, spoke in Cooper Union, New York, Satur- day night to a large audience. He declared that the interference of the federal au- thorities at the time of the Chicago riots was wholly unwarranted; that’the troops from Fort Sheridan were ordered out be- fore there was any symptom of-seriowadis- order; that trains-were being ran ip and out of Chicago with little Joss of time and that when there was delay {t was due to the railways’ inability to secure men; that the presence of the federal troops had an irritating effect and-did more harm than good, and that d.sorder was @nally sup- Pressed by the state troops and. police.

O'FERRALL'S RECORD | KEANE'S Gives Out a Statement. : —Minnesota and Oregon Claimed. cal », t yer: ebbie as reece The democratic congressional commitiee | Speculation as‘to the Tenor of the gave out the following today: In the course of the debate in the House. of Representatives February 18, 1891, Rep- resentative O’Ferrall of Virginia, replying’) ’ to a question put by Mr. Caldwell, whether. the people would prefer Cleveland in 18¥2, said: ; “I do not know who will be the demo- cratic cardidate then; but I will say now that today Grover Cleveland is deeper down in the hearts of the democracy than. any other living man. It may be that his views on silver do not suit all of the demo-" crats, but they are but the views of an ‘individual member of the democratic party. In every convention, whether republican or democratic, that has ever been held in this county there have been differences of opinion, and the questions have been dis- cussed, but there never has been any true democrat who failed to place himself. squarely on the democratic platform when the democratic convention spoke. I care not what Mr. Cleveland’s opinion may be today on the question of silver coinage, when the national convention speaks in 1802 he will, I venture to say, indorse- the: principle and platform of his party.” His Statement Next Day. As various comments were made upon this utterance of Representative O'Ferrall, he was interviewed by the New York World, and on February 19, 1891, in that paper the following statement made by Gov. O'Ferrall was published: “The significance of the remarks that I made yesterday,” satd Mr. O'Ferrall, “is simply this: I am a democrat, and I think Grover Cleveland is a democrat. I am in favor of the free coinage of silver, and I have been so ever since I occupied a seat in the House. Mr. Cleveland is opposed to: the free coinage of silver at present, and, so far as I know, he always has been, and perhaps always will be. But as an indi- vidual member of the democratic pariy he has a perfect right to hold and express his own opinion on. any particular subje:t, just as I have. When I said yesterday that Mr. Cleveland, in my opinion, would stand on whatever platform the next democrazic national convention might construct, even though the free coinage of silver would be one of its main planks, I simply meant that I believed Mr. Cleveland was a demo- crat, and would bow to the democratic platform and the democratic party, just as I would. I am, as I have already said, in favor of the free coinage of silver, but if the next democratic national convention should adopt a platform containing a goid plank I am democratic enough to stand the platform. “I did not speak as the special representa tive of Mr. Cleveland in any sense. I spoke as a democrat who thought he could an- swer for another democrat’s devotion to the principles and the platform of the democratic party. I have no reason, on reflection, to modify in any way the state- ments that I made in the heat of debate yesterday. I feel perfectly certain that be- fore Mr. Cleveland wrote that anti-silver letter he was practically the only man thought of by the demoeracy of the coun? try as the next presidential candfdate of the party. I believe also that if the na- tionai convention had been held before that letter had been written nine-tenths of all the votes would have been cast for Grover Cleveland on the first ballot. Cleveland and Civil Service Reform. “I am perfectly free to admit that I don’t know what may be the effect of that letter, and therefore, as I said yesterday, I Gon't know who may be the democratic candidate. : “One thing I will say for myself, If the next national convention of the democratic party should insert in its platform a geld tank my preference for a candidate would be Mr. Cleveland; and, on the other hand, 4 if the platform should contain a free silver plank, and if Mr. Cleveland should under- take to stand on that platform, Mr. Cleve- land would still be my choice, While Presi- dent Cleveland may have been at ti:nes oren to the charge of mugwumpery, I can- not forget that he was eleced on a demo- cratic platform which had civil service ré"| form for one of its main planks. 1 mus; say, too, that within a very short tim he MEN WHO.

Wight died at 6 o'clock this morning at his residence, 306 Indians ave- fue. He had been in bad health for some months past, and the announcement of his death will not come with the shock of a sudden surprise to his circle of friends and acquaintances. While a great sufferer dur- ing the past few months, his physical con- dition showed remarkable vitality, especial- ly in view of his advanced age. It was not until yesterday that his attending physi- clan, Dr. W. W. Johnston, gave up hope of his recovery. Mr. Wight’s long residence in this city and his prcminence as an edu- cator as well as the great interest which he manifested in all matters of public con- cern, made him in many respects a notable figure in this community. It will be with sincere regret that the news of his death will be heard in this community. it is the fortune of but few men to have had such a wide acquaintance as Mr. Wight enjoyed, and to have exercised the intluence that he did for so many years. Mr. Wight was born in Westford, Mass., Avgust 12, 1817. He attended school at Groton, in that state, and became a teacher there in 1838. Four years later he grad- uated from Dartmouth College. In that year he left his native state and came to the locality where his subsequent life wis passed. In 1842 he became the principal of the academy at Rockville, Md., and Dr. Samuel C. Busey of this city was one of his pupils in that school. He went from Rock- ville to Cincinnati for the purpose of fol- lowing his profession, but left that place cn account of: the prevalence of cholera. He then came to =his city, the date being February, 1849. He purchased the Ritten- house Acad2my, which was at that time owned by Rev. Jozeph E. Nourse, who conducted the school which he had estab- lished there some even years before. It was located on the south side of Indiana avenue betweer 3d and 4% streets, and at the time Mr. Wight purchased the prop- erty it was improved by a one-story build- ing with a basement. The year after he became the owne- of the property Mr. Wight added a story to the building, and in 1852 he improved the basement so as to provide increased facilities. He continued as principal of this academy until June, 1892, when the con'lition of nis health com- Pelled him to give up active work. During the last two years of his life he lived in a house which was one of two built on the site of the old a:ademy where he taught £0 long. In July, 1847, he married Isabella Buchanan, a daugater of Lioyd Archibald Buchanan of Baltimore. Mrs. Wight died duly 1, 1804. When Mr. Wight came to this city in 1849 he united with the First Presbyterian Church, and in 1853 he was ordained as ruling elder, which position he held up to the time of his death, one of the present ¢o-pastors of the church, Rev. Dr. Byron Sunderland, preaching the sermon on the occasion of his installation as elder. For more than forty years Mr. Wight was at the head of one of the leading edu- cational institutions of the city, and during that period he sent forth from his schools 4 large number of pupils, who are today occupying prominent and influential Posi- tions in nearly every walk of life. He was for some years a member of the board of school trustees, and was president of the Young afen's Christian Association, and vas active in organizing that importani branch of Christian work. He was'a man of sterling character, and had the respect and esteem of every one who knew him. Three children survive him—Miss Mary O. Wight, John B. Wight and Lloyd B. Wight. Funeral services will be held at the First Presbyterian Church Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Sunderland will offi- ciate. The interment, which will Oak Hill, will be private. meat —_>—_ ROBBERIES REPORTED. Thieves Have Been Active in the Lant Few Days. Thieves are quite active just now and are keeping the detectives on the move.

One person to enter complaint yesterday was Mr. R. J. Woude of 1325 12th street. He went in a barver shop Thursday night and left his diamond pin resting cn a shelf. When he had been waited upon he went from the shop, forget- ting all about his diamond. He returned later in the evening, but the diamond had been taken. John M.

The Leading Topte Among Gotham Politicians. From the New York Times. The registration in New York city of 331,214, which is greater by about 2,000 than ever before, furnished the most inter- esting text for political discuzsions yester- day. One feature which was brought out by those whose political beliefs are anti- Tammany was that this is probably more nearly an honest registration than any the city has had in the pres‘dential years with which it is compared, “It should be remembered,” said Cor- nelius Van Cott, the chairman of the re- publican county committee, “that in the total of 309,691, which was the registration in 1892, there were, according to the best estimates, 18,000 fraudulent rames on the Ust. Counting those out, the actual in- crease this year isslarger than appears on the face of the figures.” John C. Sheehan sald yesterday that from the Tammany and Bryan point of view. the registration is satisfactory. if the total had been from 350,000 to 400,000,"" he said, “it would have been against us. Now, I think it ts in our favor. I have taken especial cere to investigate, and I know the Tammany vote and the Bryan vote is registered. The figures show only the normal increase. I believe Bryan will carry the city by 30,000.” Chairman Van Cott eaid the registration was satisfactory to him. It indicated un- usual interest in thosé parts of the city where sound money sentiment predomi- nates, Executive Chairman Benjamin B. Odell, jr., of the state committee received re- ports yesterday on the registration from many citizs of the state. With only one exception, all places heard from show an increase over that of two years ago, with which comparisons were made. “The results are satisfactory to us,” said Mr. Odell. “‘We think they indicate that the republicen vote will be larger than ever.” sd the most thoroughly \ Safety comes first, in washing.” What is the use of making the work easy, as long asit’srisky or dangerous?

Relation of the Asseciation to the ffenure of Office Law — The ‘Fraternal Feature. About twenty delegates have assembled for a convention at Willard’s Hotel for the formation of a national civil service re- form association among government em- ployes under the classified service. The delegates are mostly from local associations at present in existence among custom house employes, and they come from all parts of the country; from New Orleans, San Fran- cisco, Portland, Port Townsend, as well as from Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. The meeting ts the result, of a call, by way of suggestion, sent out some time ago by J. E. Ciayton, president of the associa- tion formed among the employes of the custom house at New Orleans. There is no definite pian of organization yet settled on. Mr. Clayton says that his idea is that the association should be chiefly benevolent, as the, New Orleans associauon is, whiie aim- ing to preserve the spirit of civil service reiorm as far as they, being beneficiaries, can do so with propriety. He saya that they realize that it would excite antagonism and criticism for them to fori an association for the purpose of influencing legislation or even for the ex- press object of preserving the civil service reform system, and they do not intend to encrodch upon the proprieties. Therefore, while there has not yet been any exchange of views, he thinks the plan of the national association will be to promote fraternity among the employes under the civil serv- ice. He says that the association in New Orleans looks after its members when they are sick, attends their funerals when they die, or, if necessary, pays their funeral expenses. ‘There is no political object, he says. Some of the delegates have a more broad- ened view .of the orgenizaticn, believing that the general interes:s of civil service refor-n should be the care of the associa- tion. No hour is appointed for the meet- ing today, and it is expected that there will be nothing more than an informal ex- change of views before assembling for a regular session. The session will be pri- vate. The delegates will probably call on the civil service commissioners today. ae BRYAN AT DETROIT. He Ended His Michigan Campaign With a Talk to Newsboys, Democratic Candidate Wm. J. Bryan, who arrived at Detroit Saturday night, accom- panied by Mrs. Bryan, attended West- minster Presbyterian Church in that city yesterdvy, and listened to a sermon by Rev. K. N. Patterson. Afterward the nominee and his wife held an informal and unex- pected reception in the aisle near the pew which they occupied. Almost every person inside the building shook hands with them, and a few started a faint ripple of ap- plause. In the afternoon the nominee rested. At 6 o'clock he and Mrs. Bryan and John W. ‘Tomlinson of Alabama dined with Mr. and Mrs. George W. Moore. : Although It had not been publicly an- nounced, it had been arranged that Mr. Bryan should address the weekly meeting of the Detroit Newsboys’ Association last night. Mr. Bryan made a short, simple address to the newsboys, advising them as to the value of character in life and of ting the rights of others. At the conclusion of his remarks the little hall rang with the boys’ assurances that Bryan was “all right,” despite the admonishments of Col. Butler, president of the association, who did not want the boys to applaud. ‘The nominee looked greatly refreshed by his Sunday rest. Michigan Campaign Closed. Mr. Bryan completed his campaign pro- gram in Michigan Saturday night by ad- dressing the largest crowds ever gathered at political meetings in Detroit. From a platform erected against the Washington boulevard side of the Hotel Cadillac he talked to a mass of people which filled the wide boulevard and extend- ed far into adjoining streets. At the Au- ditorium he spoke to an audience which oceupied every foot of available space, while thousands stood outside waiting for a sight of the candidate. Lastly, he appeared upon a stand erected at the Woodward avenue front of the City Hall, before a crowd which was so great that it stopped all street car and other traffic in the neigh- borhood. The candidate's train was met at the ‘Woodward avenue station, three miles from the center of the city, by the reception com- mittee. The procession of S moved down Woodward avenue to the Cadillac hy a rear entrance, thus avciding the crowds on Michigan avenue. A roar of applause went up from the crowd as Mr. Bryan ap- peared. tremendous enthusiasm was kept up the entire evening. ———+2-+____ Minnesota 18,000 for McKinley.

Seventy-Five Thousand People to Ge Into Canton Before Morning if “the Republicans Wi Correspondence of The Eveninz Star. CANTON, Ohio, October 17, 1896. Canton people have abandoned their busi- ness and are talking of nothing but the aj Proaching election. The few traveling men who come here now with the hope of seeing customers are disappointed. Business, ex- cept that which is created by the visiting delegations, is absolutely dead. The men and women of the town congregate in eact other's homes and in the hotels and on th street corners, and nothing is talked of ex cept the election. This condition will pre- vail until the night of November 3, when the whole city will surround the residence of Major McKinley and wait patiently for the returns. No one has any idea that Mc- Kinley will be defeated, and arrangements are now being made for special trains to be run into Canton about midnight on election night, r as soon as the returns are re- ceived.

An event marking the close of a great historic episode occurred Saturday at Mex- ico, when the Belgian minister in the name of his majesty, Leopold Il, king of the Belgians, bestowed on President Diaz the grand cordon of the military order of Leo- pold as a mark of the honorable regard in which the president of Mexico is held in Belgium. The significance of this act lies in the fact that King Lecpold is the brother of the late Empress Carlotta of Mexico and his bestowal of the order upon the president of the republic is an indica- tion that the Maximillian episode is now definitely closed.
