HOW TO AVOID PNEUMONIA.
Approach al (ho Saaaaa Wbaa
Diaaaaa ia Prevalent
Chirixo THbunr.
A sudden und startling in
crease both in this city and New
York of deaths from pncuinouia,
and the appropriation in the
latter city of $10,000 for the
study of the disease, draws at
tention to the approach of the
season when pnenuionia is most
prevalent. For the week end
ing the 17th instant the number
of deaths iu Chicago from "the
uew captain of the men of deal h"
was 80 per cent, greater than for
the corresponding week a year
ago.
Pncuittonia is the despair of
the medical profession. While1
the death rate from many other
diseases has been reduced, that
of pneumonia has steadily in
creased. While iu i860 pneu
monia claimed four ont of every
10,000 Chicagoans and consump
tion twenty-five in 1900 twenty
lives were lust to pneumonia
for every fifteen to consumption.
Not only is there no specific
for pneumonia, but many peo
yi^ me iu *11 cxicui III in?
incipient stages of the disease
without knowing it. This is
due to the fact that the bacteri
um of pneumonia exists so
commonly in the saliva of muny
healthy persons that it is con
sidered "almost a normal in
habitant of the upper part of the
digestive tract."
During the six months of the
coming winter more than 2,1!*)
persons in this city will Income
victims of pucuinouia. Nobody
will he immune from the sntn
nrons of the death captain. It
will be served upon the strong
as well as upon the weak.
Hut there are certain rules of
livinif which will reduce one's
liability to the disease. From
the bulletins of the health de
partment and from other authori
tative sources the following
rules may be set down for ob
servance :
Do not overheat the house.
Most people habitually dwell in
apartments the temperature of
which is from 3 to 10 degrees
loo high.
Wear light underwear and
heavy overcoats rather than
heavy underwear and light over
coats.
Avoid mingling with crowds
when extremely tired or when
food has not bccu taken for a
longer interval than usual.
Avoid becoming chilled when
over-tfred.
Admit into all rooms where
you live and work plenty of sun
light and fresh air.
Keep warm when indoors,
even if it is necessary to bnild
fires in seasons when it is un
usual to do so. Avoid indoor
chill and dampness as much as
possible. For this reason be
careful to remove tire chill be
fore moving into apartments
freshly papered or calcitnitied.
Be careful during variable
we ttber. Where there is con*
tinual cold or constant warmth
the disease is little known.
ir yon nave an annex <>i rue
grippe be unusually caret'll
about your diet and about ex
posing yourself to tlie weather.
Neglected cold* develop into
pneumonia with startling
, rapidity.
Take plenty of exercise in the
sunlight and Ireab air. A*
good nursing Is practically the
only cur* lor pneumonia, an
good living is practically the
only preventive.

LIEUTENANT PRITCHAID DEAD.
Klllad Hla Cmridi Than Him*
•ell—A Sn of Jtdg* Pritch
ard.
A dispatch from the Philip
pines Monday tells of the awful
fate of a sou of Judge Pritchard.
In a fit of insanity, says the dis
patch. under date of the 17th,
Second Lieutenant William D
Pritchard, of the Thirteenth
Cavalry, killed Second Lieuten
ant Fred L. Deen. of the same
cavalry, and then committed su
icide. The double tragedy oc
curred at Catup Stolxcnlmrg.
Pritchard is a native of North
Carolina and was appointed
from that state. He was 26
years of age. Deeu was 27 and
a native of Texas.
Deeu was shot through the
head and immedietely young
t-ritchard suicided. He was in
sane at the time of the act.
Lieutenant Pritchard was a son
ThiIim O D.I s-L_J t
Marshall. N. C.% former U. S'.
Senator from that State. Ac
cording to all records young
Pritchard was a good soldier
and had a splendid reputation
as an officer. Deen’s home is
at Athens.
Lieutenant Pritchard was born
in Madison county, 26 years ago,
and was Judge Prichard's eldest
sou by his first wife. He had
hosts of friends in Asheville, and
all over North Carolina, and the
news of the tragedy will conic as
a great shock to them.
Judge Pritchard is almost pros
trated by the new* of the double
tragedy. He has not been feel
ing well lor the post few days
apd the shock was a severe tax
on his constitution.
Asheville, Oct. 18.—No furth
er particular* have been re
ceived concerning the tragedy
yesterday morning at Camp
Stotseuburg, in the Philippines,
when Lieutenant Wm. D. Pritch
ard shot and killed Lieutenant
Decn and then committed
suicide, save that the young
officers had been the closest of
friends eyer since they became
identified with the Thirteenth
Cavalry, and that at the time of
killing Lieutenant Pritchard waa
hopelessly insane. Judge
Pritchard has been in communi
cation with the War Department
since the news of :be tragedy
was received and reports of yes
terday are confirmed that the
act was simply that of an iu
sane person. Judge Pritchard
has requested that the remains
of bis son be shipped to Ashe
ville aud the body will be placed
aboard a transport and bmught
here. It will require four weeks
to make the trip trom Manila to
San Francisco and then several
da vs mofe to reach this city
overland. It has not yet been
decided whether the young
lieutenant will be laid to rest in
Riverside Cemetery in this city
or in Arlington.
Many members of local bar
visited Judge Pritchard yester
day afternoon and last night to
extend to him their deepest
»ympathy in his deep bereave
ment.

The decorations were as
beautiful as they were simple.
The~putp»7 rostrum and recess
beyoud was a solid mass of
greru. The rostrmn and floor
were covered by evergreens,
while from floor to ceiling
beantifnl ferns were banked in
profusion, after the likness of a
ateep knoll in some romantic
s|>ot decorated by the fingers of
natnre herself.
" Healrs and Flowers" was
sweetly sung by Mrs. H. It.
Moore while the throng was
gathering. At the sound of the
wedding march rendeied with
spirit by Miss Carrie Morris,
Messrs. Mott Brown and
James . Holland entered the
right aisle and Messrs. Lunreute
Miller and Roe Mclarughen the
left. When they had taken po
sitions, the bride with her maid

they spoke the vows which made

The lack of interest in politi
cal matters on the part of the
general public this year is a
matter of comment. Usually a
presidential election year, above
all others, brings out the people
and arouses llieir enthusiasm to
a high pitch, but Ibis year
upathy is the word all along the
line. In speaking of the mailer
to-day, an observant gentlemeu
said:
" I a,ni not at all distressed over
the failure of the people to be
come excited over politics this
year. That shows that they
have something else on tin ir
minds, and it is a good sign.
It is not necessary for people to
go wild over politics iu order to
'save the country,’ and when
the country is in such condition
that tile people arc too busy to
atteud all the political meetings
it is safe to say that things are
in pietty pood shape. I am
interested in politics, as all
good citizens should be, but I
have learned that political
activity should not I* a pre
dominating characteristic of n
plain citizen.”
Passing af Tha Negro leasts
boat.
K«tw*b Po»i. i:»«s
New Orleans, Oct. 12.—The
passing of Lhe negro as a "rons
tatrout," marking an epoch iu
steamboating on the Mississippi,
was witnessed by a Urge crowd
of people, who today saw sixty
white men, sent here from wes
tern and rtbrtbern cities, go to
work at the steamboat lauding
in place of the colored men.
For years the steamboat men
have suffered from the strikes of
negro "rouaters,” who have been
in the habit of waiting until a
steamboat was loaded and ready
to leave, and then refusing to
ship nnlcsa their wages were
raised.
The steamboat interests re
cently decided to try the exper
iment of doing away with negro
labor and hiring white men. and
the first contingent went to work
today. A crowd of negroes ap
peared in the levee, but no at
tempt to molest the strangers
was made. Precautions have
been taken to tend police to the
river front in case of violencg.
