When t mere bid 1 had often heart It said that the eating of onions and lemons was a protection against costagtons dLlseaaes, and whoa atx>ut eighteen year* of age I bad an opportunity ao test them for myself. I had spent the winter In the city of New Orleans, where, tn the spring, yellow fever of a virulent type made Its appearance, ! causing an urgent demand for nurses, ■ and, basing faith In what I had heard of the protective power of onions and lemons, I concluded to hike what my friends called a ghastly risk and made application at the Common Street hospital for a position as nurse, was aco*pted and entered at once upon a line of duty. In commencing which I began the use of raw onions and lemon*. al ternatlng weekly with lemons, always taking them just before going to bed. I took no other remedy, although medicine was provided every morning for all attaches. At the expiration of the tenth week I was no longer need-d and left in as vigorous health as when I entered the hospital. On taking my departure I was re- I minded by the head physician that bls medicine had probably preserved my health. Nevertheless a number of : nurses and attaches bad died of the fever, despite his vaunted medical ability. Before leaving the institution I ae- | quainted the doctor with the fact that I had not used bis medicine, but bad relied solely upon my onion-lemon treatment, when he said it was a wonder that it had not killed me and If it ! had that I had deserved it. On another occasion I had a similar experience with smallpox cases In a . northern city, finding the onion and ! lemon a perfect protection to myself and many of my associates.—Medical Talk.

A NEW YORK RIOT — Reserves of Three Police Precincts Were Called Into Requisition. West Sixty-Second Street Negro Quarter the Scene of Sunday Night Turbulence. — Attempt to Arrest Leader of Gang of Negroes Leads to a Sharp Fight. Now York. July 13. —A riot which required the reserves of three police , precincts to suppress broke out Sun day night in the negro quarter in West Sixty-second street. The trouble was precipitated by the attempt of Policeman Connor to arrest William Johnson. the leader of a gang of negroes who were making a disturbance in the street. The policeman secured his prisoner I after a sharp fight and was dragging | him to the station house, when he was , assailed by a mob and volleys of bricks and stones were hurled at him from . the roofs of adjoining tenements.

The reserves cleared the streets and chased j the rioters over the roofs, making several arrests, and finally restored order. BIG STRIKE THREATENED Chicago Freight Handlers May Ga Out in a Body. Chicago. July 13.—The indications are that another conflict is imminent between the freight handlers’ organ ! ization in Chicago and the railroads, such as was experienced here last summer when the union was defeated | and all but disrupted. The difficulty , this time is not over a question of wages, but is brought about by a con troversy between the teamsters' un ion and the Kellogg Switchboard and ' Supply company, where the employes went on strike two months ago lie-1 cause the fli ;n refused to discharge ; ten non union employes. The Kellogg plant has been tied up ever since the ! strike because of the refusal of the union teamsters to deliver or take away goods from the factory while the | strike was on. Two days ago efforts were made to perform the work with non-union teamsters under police pro--11 lection. Riots between policemen and the strikers followed the attempt, but. the company succeeded in delivering ; the goods. When the goods were un-; loaded on the railroad platform, how-1 ever, the freight handlers, acting under orders of their president, refused to handle the freight and were discharged. A compact was then formed between the union teamsters and other union* Involved in the Kellogg strike, and President Curren of the freight handlers' union, whereby the | latter agreed to call a general strike of the freight handlers employed on the railroad* In Chicago if any further attempts were made to deliver goods to the railroads with non-union teamsters. Preparation* are being made by the Kellogg company to deliver to the railroads with non-union teamster* seven carloads of freight. President Curren of the freight handlers says that If the Kellogg people persist on i such a course, he will order a general strike of freight handlers In thi* city. The railroad managers state that they I are prepared for a strike. Decoyed to Her Death. St. Joseph. Mo.. July 13.—Mrs John Mackey t* dead from pistol wounds re- i cetved Sunday at 209 Main street.
