CITY'S FUNDS
GETTING "SH?"
Council Has Difficulty In Pay

ing Last Night.
With the "Current Expense Fund"
depleted and the warrants on the
general fund undesirable, the city
council Is having troubles of its
own satisfying creditors. Last

his work on the pontoons and ferry-
slip for the city in a general fund
warrant, saying that when he bid on
the work it was with the under-
Istanding that he should be paid in
cash. Finally it was decided to is
sue him a warrant on the Current
Expense fund which he will be able
to cash soon after January 1, when
the liquor licenses and other in
comes replenish that fund. What
the council will do towards satisfy
ing employes for their salaries for
this month has not been determined
yet.

Physicians Can't Find a Cause
For Snake Like Perform
ance of W. W. Cake.
TRENTON, N. J., Nov. IS. As a
result of the announcement that
William U. Cake, a local man, was
shedding his skin like a snake, sev
eral prominent specialists from vari
ous parts of the country came to
Trenton and made a thorough ex
amination of the patient, but the
symptoms puzzled them ns much as
they have the local physicians.
For the twenty-eighth time in the
fifty-three years of his life Cake, who
1b a linoleum printer, is now shed
ding his skin. The skin is going
from him exactly like a snake, th
only difference being that a reptile
sheds its cultlcle periodically, while
Cake is likely to shed his skin at any
time. Specialists from New York
who examined the patient believe
that the skin he sheds frequently
would save the lives, of many pa
tients where It Is necessary to graft
cuticle in cases of severe burns, cuts
and the like. For this purpose It
Is now likely that Cake will be re
moved to Bellevue hospital, New
York City, where several patients
are facing death because of the un
willingness of persons to have their
skin grafted into that of the suffer
ers. Cake has several children, but
none of them Is afflicted by the dis
ease. The doctors say that the dis
ease Is not contagious.
Local physicians have made nu
merous attempts to cure Cake, but
their efforts 'have been of no avail.
The physicians here and elsewhere
agree only to the name of the dls
ease, which they term "Dermltosls
Exfollatlna."
Such a case Is only once recorded
In medicine and surgery. Although
the doctors agree upon the technical
term the cause and treatment of the
disease are puzzles. They realize
that In typhoid fever tho skin peels,
but cannot understand how a high
fever would take tho skin from the
patient In so many Instances.
When Ca"ko was a child his moth
er, ho declares, told him his skin
used In the same way. The symp
toms are first a chill, followed by
severe pains In the stomach and
later by an extremely high fever.
Whlthln two weeks of an attack
every particle of skin on Cake's body
comes off. During this time he suf
fers intensely, particularly from an
itching sensation.
Although Cake lived for nine
years without shedding his skin tho
attack usually comes on every two
or three years. At one time he shed
his skin three times In fourteon
weeks. This was duo to tho use of
medicine, prescribed for him by a
physician for his stomach condition.
The specialists believe that his
skin is of such a tender nature that
it would peel with the slightest Irri
tation, and they declare that a man
with hiB tendency of weakness In the
cuticle would save hundreds of Uvea
where It wus necessary to savo hu
man beings by tho grafting skin pro
cess, which has so lately becomo an
important part in medical science,
building tho St. Paul's extension to
tho Pacific and Issue bonds against
this new lino and Its equipment.
According to tho company's ofllclals
the now lino will bo opened and run
ning to Puget Sound for business
