ORMALIN ON “THAD TRL New Blood Poison Treatment 1s . Again Used on Woman at St. | « t { Vincent’s Hospital, as Yet * Without Apparent Result. TWO OTHERS CURED BY IT. Present Case Unusually Serious and Death Would Not Necessarily Mean that Method Is Not Effec- y Sve, Say Physicians. The case of the young woman in 8t. Vinoent's Hospital, who is the third ” patient to receive Dr. Charles C. Bar- yow's formalin remedy for blood-poison- tng, had not developed so eatisfactorily to-day as the physicians had expected. ‘The entire medical fraternity are in- ‘terested in the development of this case, @ successful cure meaning a signal vic- tery for formalin as a remedy of sep- tloeaemia. The doctors at St. Vincent's to-day stated that the young woman had improved slightly since the second injection of formalin yesterday at 1.30. Her temperature had dropped at 10.90 this morning to 100.3 and her pulse fegistered 108. ‘Won't Know Until To-morrow. “We will not Rnow anything definite @bout the patient until a blood culture 4 made to-morrow noon,” said Dr. 8. F. Donovan, house physician at St. Vincent's, to-day. ‘Then) we will know ‘whether the formalin has acted succesé- fully upon the blood polson germs. “The fact that the patient does not @how any marked improvement this morning does not necessarily mean that the formalin is not effective, Her fail ure to rally this morning is probably @ue to her general condition.” The first two cases to be treated by the new method, one at Bellevue, and Dr, William Francis Honan's patient at Hahnemann Hospital, were suffering from blood-poisoning following child- birth, Present Case Now Serious. ‘he St. Vincent patient was suffering from pneumonia when brought to the hospital, septicaemia in her case having @, different origin. Her condition was more serious than that of the other two patients, and if she responds to the formalin treatment it will mean a de- elded step toward establishing formalin Qs a destroyer of bacteria. Speaking further of the third case, Dr. 8. F. Donovan said: “When she was brought here, her femperature became so high that we thought we detected symptoms of blood poisoning. We made a microscopical examination of her blood and found the bacillus septococcus, confirming our suspicions, “As ashe did not rally to ordinary Temedies, a consultation resulted In the determination to try formalin, ‘Dr. Barrows, whose case with the egress had been so successful, offered to give the first injection. physicians administered the sevond.

M, The first was administered Friduy night.

Something is always happening in this town. Now it is the Comte Robert de Montesquiou-Fezensac, of France, who has a personality along- side of which that of Oscar Wilde wes the personality of a prize-fighter. He is here to tell women with money what he knows about literature, Like Mary MacLane, the Comte is a genius, He admits it himself. To make the assertion indisputable he has brovght two barbers with him. One barber 1s charged with the care of his frizzled hair, the other with the care of his mustache. You should see the mustache of the Comte! Parbleu! but if your eye- PEORERDERES REEDS IELHOHMODSOHHOHO HRN OT DDE ESETMSHSHGS sight is not good you cannot see it at all. Doubtless it requires great ef- fort on the part of the barber to keep the mustache on the face of the Comte. $l WEARS BUNCH OF ORCHIDS IN HIS TIE. Besides the two barbers, the Comte brought a private secretary, M. Gabrielle Yturri, who looks like his name, and thirty trunks, They are quartered at the Holland House. The Comte and his private secretary being geniuses, are not trgmmelled by the conventional in dreas. ‘The Comte has introduced a new fad already. In his morning costume he wears a small bouquet of orchids In his necktie. In the afternoon he wears a barbaric pin of gold. The newspapers knew days ago that the Comte was coming to New York. Did not his press agent. a charming young woman, visit Park Row and leave at each office a sweet little book with a white cover containing the life of Comte de Montesquiou? She certainly did! e “In writing 2 short account of Comte Robert de Montesduiou,” gays the press igenl, “one 4s at a loss to know where to begin. It is no less difficult His personality is infinitely more interesting than that of the average’man of letters, for there je ecarcely an incident connected with his family or his past that has not been born of some romantic sur- rounding. As a type he stands alone.” M. Hellcu, the famous Parls etcher of portraits of women, who has just returned to France, said iit an interview yesterday that he feared thut the York at arm's length. But M. Helleu is sure that his countryman will be Honized by the women, AS A TYPE HE CERTAINLY STANDS ALONE. List to the press agent again. She describes as follow “His works breathe an atmosphere of melancholy and mystery whith renders them absolutely enchanting. Hie taste is accurate, his powers of description vivid and his imaginings are full of intense form and color.” There is the Comte as he appears to his press agent—and to himself, it will be observed that in all truth he certainly stands alone as a type. But his poetic nature does not allow him to overlook the financial side of life. Although he is said to be one of the wealthiest literary men in France—his press agent says that besides his town house In Parié he owns five palaces | in the country—he is going to get paid for shedding sweetness and light in New York, le ig/hot a lecturer. He gives “conferences.” His managers have usted sevén of these “conferences” to be held at Sherry’s, Admission to each ‘conference’ is fixed at $5, but no one may buy a ticket to a single “conference.” Certainly not! It is necessary that those wishing to hear the Comte There is no dis- It will cost $35, and nothing refunded at the door, With the Comte it Is a case of all coming in and nothing going out while he is in this barbarous place, Maes laa EEMS FATED TO BE ROASTED, SOMEHOW.

In the sketch of the life of the Comte we are told that he is a lineal descendant of the swashbuckling, man-killing d’Artagnan, who was seldom seen without a sword in his hand. Perhaps that is the reason the Comte always carries a cute Httle cane. There is a curious study of heredi- tary influence in this, for assuredly thes is a great difference between d’Artagnan the soldier and Comte Robert de Montesquiou the poet, who is willing to “confer” on advanced literature for a fee of admission, BRAVE COMTE FOND OF BATS AND BABOONS. An Evening World reporter who called at the Holland House to-day to see the Comte was received by M. Yturri, who wore a pale blue silk dressing gown in two parts and an immense muffler, which was indeserib- able. J Every clair in the room was covered with rich animal skin rugs and fur overcoats, The air was hot and perfumed. M. Yturri expla{ned that the Comte was indisposed. He was out late last night, * . explained M. Yturri, “ah—h, it ees immense. The coif- feur, he is now reducing the head.” M. Yturri showed the reporter several books written by the Comte. ‘They are exquisitely bound. One of the books, a collection of poems, is a tures of buts. The Comte is a great admirer of bats. On a table in the apartment was a picture of the Comte, drawn by him. self, It represented him attired in a prodigious dressing gown bound at the waist by a girdle of disks, each as large as a dinner plate. In his arms he held a baboon of surpassing ugliness. The Comte did not bring the Yaboon with him and M. Yturri says that he feels the separation very much, weird plece of work. On the covers and on every page are engraved (al WON'T REMOVE AQUEDUCT MEN. ~~ Association that His Com- missioners Are Efficient and Thoroughly Satisfactory. CONTRACTS WILL BE MET.

He says it is not true, Stories come from Paris about strange fetishes the Comte does homage to. He was painted by Baldini in the act of worshipping a jade cane, This cane is one of the most treasured possessions of the Comte. He did not bring it with him to the United States, fearing that the duty might be too heavy. He runs to canes, though, having a large collection in his trunka, An interesting exhibit brought from Paris by the Comte is a repro- duction of a portrait of himself, done by Whistler.

Baird, the Philadelphia millionaire, who, with his family, is temporarily residing at No. %2 West End avenue. ‘The threatening letters are a result of the work of the asnessors of the Tax Department, who in thelr diligent search for taxable folks lit upon Mr. Baird. They made an Investigation, found that he was several times a millionaire, much of whose wealth was in personal property. Without further research the assessors set down the vatue of this at $2,500,000, and {t so appeared in the list published in the newspapers. Here was a new target for cranks and Mr. Baird has been reaping the result of this pub- lictty ever since. Some of the letters rebuke the re- ciplent for “holding out heretofore the just taxes due the city, and others range {n tone from this, through tnter- mediate stages, to downright demands for mon “Pay ‘the gang’ 950,000 or we will kill you by slow poison,” says one letter.
