HAS PARTIALLY: RECOVERED a Se ee Joseph G. ‘Tyscowsk}, Who Was Overcome by £ Theory Advancéa That Gas From a x 8 Stove Filled is Room While He Lay. 4sleep. —t2L_ BF Joseph G. Tyssowski,, aged about twenty years, the son of,Joseph Tyssowski, the well-known iavyer, resifiirg at 1303 Colum- bia road, who was ‘overcome by gas at iis father’s house Monday night, has partially Fecovered conscioushess. He is now thought to be out of danger, should no unfavorable ecmpiication arise. He has lucid intervals, but has net sufficiently recovered to be able to understand what was the cause of his iiness. Young Tyssowski had a narrow escape from death by asphyxiation. When he Was discovered by his father Tuesday morning in an unconscious state, on the bed in his room it was thought- there was little chance for his recovery. The prompt response of his physician and heroic work, Mr. Tyssowsk! thinks, saved his son’s life. The young man occupied the third-story front room of the residence. He was ac- customed to read and study late at night. Saturday his parents went to spend two or three days at the home of thelr daugh- ter, on Park street between 18th and 19th streets, the latter having gone to New York with her husband, Mr. Joseph H. Cranferd. They left their son in the house. Servant Gives the Alarm. Tuesday morning Mr. Tyssowski was reading a paper at the Cranford house about 8:30 o'clock, when the cook em- ployed at his home ran up the front steps and rang the bell, appearing to be much agitated. : “I believe somethirg is wrong with Mr. Joe,” she said. “I've called him to break- fast two or three times, and he hasn’t come down yi I smelt gas escaping in the house, too. Mr. Tyssowski hurriedly left the Cran- ford house to go to his cwn. When nearly at his residence he passed Mr. Sanner, who owns the row of houses, and asked him to accompany him. Mr, Tyssowski rushed up the steps, followed by Mr. Sanner, to his son's room. Gas was noticed, and this served to increase the fgther’s anxiety. The door of the room was not locked. Mr. Tyssowski pushed it open, the gas es- caping as he did so. On the bed, as far back as he could get against the head- board, with his head bent back and breath- ing heavily, was the young man, partially undressed. Doors and windows were thrown open, and Dr. Fry was sent for. He responded in twenty minutes. An injection of nitro- glycerine was given the patient to restore his heart's action, and other restoratives applied. Young Tyssowski remained in an uncon- scious condition until nearly noon yester- His talk is still incoherent, and his mind is by no means clear. The Father's Belief. The father of the patient says he thinks the escaping gas came from a gas stove the sleeping room. Another room adjoin- ing this was used as a study, but the two burners in this were faund intact. ‘The gas stove has perforated grates, from which the gas comes, and Mr. Tyssow ski is of the opinion that the gas had bjen turned low, as it may Nave been too wecm in the room. The young man had evider:'ly been reading, as a law ‘book was found by the side of the bed! He evidently had -.ot intended to retire for the night, being piet- ly dressed. He had probably turned dcby the gas and reclined on the bed to r¢ He may have fallen’asleep, and during She night one or two or more of the gas jis in the stove had ceased to burn, permit- ting the gas to escalpe. Mr. Tyssowski stated-that the gas gas not particularly, styong in the room, Sut from the length of time it had been breih- ed by his son it must have accumulated in jurge quantity in, his, system.

Inheri from his father, Capt. David Fitz Gerald ot the British army, a taste for military sub- jects, he naturally became a specialist: in the line of research best calculated to: fit him for the pesition he creditably filled for nearly twenty years. Mr. Fitz Gerald’ was born in St. Johns: Wood, London, June 8, 1844. His first rov- «rnmental experience’ in Washington was with Architect Clark: at the Capitol. In 1879 he was appointed librarian of the War Department. He found time to write the memoirs of Gen. H. J. Hunt and Col. J M.

Reingr's saloon, Pratt street and Central avehue. It was in payment of an election bet made with August Upioff, 217 South Central Ave- nue, who had agreed to pay Mr. Ernest $1 in the event of Mr. Williams being eletted mayor, Mr. Ernest to pley for one hour if Mr. Malster was elected. Mr. Ernest stood to his. obligation man- ‘fully, and, mounted upon a plattorm, with his fiddle decorated with the national col- ors, he sawed away on the strings without faltering. A crowd of persons witnessea his performance, and xtracted a great deal of fun from the pengity he had Bars of the “Star Spanged Banner, ‘he Watch on the Ri ‘Old Folks’ At Home” and other f: tunes, with va- riations, were played.. At the same time Mr. Ernest was able to drink five glasses of veer by holding the glass to his mouth with his left hand,,w! his right hand kept steadily at his; ws of manipulating the bow. After ‘it was all over_Mr. Ernest was feasted by the spéctators. He declared that he could -have played for another hour without becoming tired. ——— $e Health Value, of a Hobby.

Direct- cry of the American Republics, which has just been issued by Director Smith of the bureau of American republics, was today placed in President McKinley's hands by a committee from the bureau, consisting of Secretary Sherman, president ex-officio; Senor Romero, the Mexican minisier, and Senor Garcia Meron, the Argentine minis- ter. Secretary Sherman, directory, said: Secretary Shorman’s Remarks, “Mr. President: Representing the execu- tive committee of the bureau of American repubtics, I hand you the first volume of the Commercial Directory of the American Republics, a work of such vast practical importance to the cemmerce of our coun- try as to be well worthy that we should come in a body to present it to you. “Upon looking through its pages, you will quickly discern its far-reaching value as a factor in disseminating generally informa- tion respecting the natural resources, the peculiar commercial activities, the varying cccupations of their industries and the latent capabilities of the countries of the western hemisphere. Such a work, it is be- Heved, has never before been collated and published. “With the fullest confidence that this handsome volume, with its wealth of data so often sought for unavailingly by busi- ness men, will meet with your hearty ap- proval, I have the honor of tendering this specially bound copy for your examination, with Director Smith's letter of transmit- tal.” The President made a suitable response, complimenting the officers of the bureau on the creditable character of their work. Mr. Jos. P. Smith, director of the bureau, has written a letter to the President, ex- planatory of the condition and purposes ot the bureau, in the course of which he says: Director Smith’s Letter. t is not for me to discuss the great questions and policies of your administra- tion, but finding myself at the head of an international bureau, and the only one ever created by a congress of the American re- publics, I confess to great interest in them. Four greai achievements, it has seemed to me, your administration can properly un- dertake and successfully accomplish in its relations with the republics of Central and South America, viz.: “1. The great extension of our trade with them by reciprocal agreements, by the ap- pointment of special trade commissioners to visit them and present the advantages this country above all others offers to them, and by the study by our merchants ana manufacturers of the data contained in the Commercial Directory as to their industries and commerce, the transportation facilities, tariff and customs regulations, trade usages, patents and copyrights, commercial licenses, laws relating to foreigners and their naturalization, passport regulations, currency and banking, and weights ana measures. i The building of the Nicaraguan canal, on terms that will secure American con- trol, with the safeguard of neutrality time of war, insuring its unobstructed use to the commerce of the world. . ‘The completion ef the American In- tercontinental railway, so that at the daw: of another century it will be as easy, com- paratively, to take a through car from Washington to Buenos Ayres or Rio de Janeiro as it is today to ride without change fron Washington to the City of Mexico.

Green, an Ohio politician of some rote, not long ago was appointed to a fair- ly good place in one of the departments in Washington. At home Green is a criminal lawyer, and is known by his success in influencing the feelings of the jury. He weeps natural tears at the right time, rends his hair, and does other things which successful lawyers do. His department po- sition pays $2,540 a year. Green told his Ohio friends that he earned as much at home from his practice. They thought he cought to have had something better. “Or course, I ought,” said Green, “and I hope to get something better, but let me tell you this, the $2,500 I get now comes a good deal easier than the $2,500 I earned at heme. I tell you, this thing of shedding tears and tearing your hair before a jury is no easy business. It will wear any man out. If I had to keep at it much longer it would surely break down my constitution, You don’t know what it means to me to get that $2,500 without tears. Between $2,500 with tears as a practicing member of the bar and $2,500 without tears in the employ of the government, I choose the latter every time.” ———-+e- Peanut Butter, From the West Coast Trad. A new use for peanuts is developing as the peanut butter industry becomes better understood. This product of the peanut answers in the place of ordinary butter for table use and is said to be excellent for shortening purposes, and for gravies, sauces, ete. In point of purity it is super- ior to the best dairy butter. It is well designed for the use of vegetarians who strenuously object to anything animal. There is already a considerable demand for this butter substitute, and it is very pro‘- able there will be an enlarged market for the nuts. At present the product of the United States is about 500,000 bags an- rually, and that of the world is 600,000,000 pounds. Frenchman naturalized abroad does not cease to be French if he ts still subject to military service in the active army, un- less his naturalization was obtained with the consent of the French government. It has always been uncertain whether the law applied to those who had failed to discharge their military obligations be- fcre the law was pzssed or simply to those who had committed that effense after the law was enacted; ror has it been clear as to what is meant by the ‘active army.’ The period of service there is only for three years, but from this army every Frenchman passes first into the reserve for seven years and ther. into the terri- torial army. It was not known whether the law applied to the first three years or to the whole time during which mill- tary services were due, both in the ac- tive army and the reserve. These points have now, by rulings of the French govern- t, been thus explained: the law has a retroactive effect; it applies to those who have avoided mili tary service and acquired other nationality before as well as after the law was en- acted. The words ‘active army’ mean both the active and the reserve of the ac- tive army, and the expression ‘if he is still subject to military service’ applies to the date on which the naturalization was ob- tained. “Thus, a Frenchman naturalized abroad without the consent of his government, if, at the date cf his naturalization, he is still subject to military service in the active army or reserve, is amenable to the tary laws. If he does not respond to notice calling kim to service he is charged with ‘insoumission’ (non-comph- ance with the military law), and if found within the jurisdiction of France, what- ever his age may be, and no matter how long he has lived abroad, even if he left France when a baby, or was born abroad, if his father was French at the time, he is arrested as an ‘Insoumis’ and enrolled in the active army, the reserve, or the ter- ritorial army, according to his age. “After a Frenchman has been transferred to the territorial army he does not need the consent. of his government to be natur- alized abroad; and when naturalized in the United States under such conditions an application through the embassy in Paris secures recognition of his American citizenship. Naturalization papers must accompany such an application. Applica- tions for change of citizenship during the age when active military service is due j are practically never granted; but consent is usually given to those who, having passed the age of service in the active army and reserve, can only be called for service in the territorial army, although their naturalization may have taken place while still belonging to the active army. Applications of this sort should be made Cirect to the minister of justice by the in- terested parties, acompanied by a fee of 6@ francs ($130.27) and a detailed state- ment. When granted the name of the ap- plicant is erased from the military lists. It is the rule of the embassy to decline mak- ing applications of this kind in behalf of those who are already in possession of their full American papers of naturaliza- tion: but it does not refuse its good offices to those who desire to secure the consent of their gevernment before having been naturalized.” —_—_-2.______ A Poor Tourist Season.
