Silently it moved along tho headstones a* H searching for something. The dogs co - ered and whined and refused to attack tin white object, and in fear and trembling the party retreated. The next day boys in the brush nearly stumbled over a big white Bear, which, it is presumed, escaped from a circus in a vfreck on the Central branch.

As passed th bill Rives outright to the Columbian Ex position $3,500,0(11) on condition that th doors ha closed on Bundays. Th 'pledges made to the friends of the Fai were kept in every instance. At noon Friday the House resumed in committee of the whole, the eonsld eration of the bill. Mr. Cummings, o New York, opened the opposition with i bitter speech against a proposition whicl ho characterised as one which was in tended to loot the Treasury. Tlr World’s Fair proposition had so inixe. Itself up with the Goveinment that 1 was difficult to.tell which was th World’s Fair and which was the Gov ernment Tho remnants of former Cpn grosses had covered the floor so that 1 could hardly be told whether the pres ent Congress or the heel-tap6of forme Congresses ran the House, it was i matter of pride with him that he ha< filibustered against this looting appro priation. v Mr. Fellows of (New York eloquently supported the bill. The work, he said was a Governmental one. The Idea o the fair had been born in Congress; 1 had Its inception here. From tne star to the finish it was a Governmenta work. The debate continued until 1 o’clock Mueh of it was entirely foreign to th< question pending ami referred to tht Commissioner of Tensions. Precisely at 1 o’clock the Chairman of the com mittee of the whole stated that undei the order of the House the eommlttei must rise. Having arisen, the Durborow bill was reported to the House. The pending amendment < and the only one) was a substitute offered by Mr De Armond, of Missouri, for the first section of the bill. It provides that 11 the World’s Columbian Exposition shall deposit at a mint of the United States a sufficient quantity of silver bullion i1 shall be coined and delivered to the exposition in half dollar coins in amount not exceeding $5,000,000. The substitute was rejected; yeas, 76; nays, 139. The roll was then called for the vote on the final passage of the Durtorow bill and the result was—yeas, 114; nays, 75. A second call was ordered and the bill was paseed“by a vote of 131 to 83. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table after a futile effort to filibuster was made by Mr. Bailey of Texas. This passes the bill finally in the House. ft': NEW CURE FOR PNEUMONIA Blood of a Convalescent Injected Into th< Sufferer's System. A novel operation was performed at the Philadelphia hospital by Visiting Physician W. E. Hughes in the presence of the resident staff and nurses, and the result has been so favorable that it Is now the opinion of the medical men interestecl ;that a new and im> mediate cure for pneumonia has beet discovered. - The operation consisted in a patien who was recovering from the dieeasi being bled, and his blood being infusei into the arm of the sufferer. The patien on whom the operation was performec was a white man who had been bro’ugh' In by the district surgeons The convalescent from whom blood was ex tracted was a colored man. An incision was made In the white man’s upper arm, and one of the veins was Isolated for about half an incti. After it had been bound and the natura flow of blood stopped, a slit was made it it and a glass tube with a wide apertun was inserted. Then about a pnt o blood, extracted from the arm of th< colored man. was poured in. Gravity carried it into the veins, and soon th< blood was coursing through the nwn’i body. In order that the body shoulc not be supercharged with bloo J a similn. amount was extracted previous to ths operation. This was black and un healthy-looking, while the blood infusec was of a bright-red color. After the operation the man's temperature rose, and symptoms similar t< those that were noticed after the Kool lymph injections followed. In a fen hours, however, a change for the bettei set in, and the next, morning the man’t temperature was normal, and apparently he is a well man. According to the theory acted upon the system of a convalescent is full o: the pneumonia bacteria antidote, an< when the blood charged with this is infused into a sufferer it works a cun immediately. FIGHT FOR LIFE. A PoHcenian'. Slruxgle with a Mai Who Tried to KIU Hi» Wife and Step daughter. Charles Daley, a baker 27 years old who lived with his family at 433 Twelftl street, Detroit, is locked up at the pollci station in that city on a charge of at tempting to murder his wife and th< latter’s Mrs. Daley luckily and almost miraculously escaped witl her life, but the stepdaughter lies very low at Harper hospital. The shootln; attracted the attention of Patrojmai Snooks, a neighbor of ihe Daleys As soon as Daley saw him hi started to run, Snooks followed The officer was slowly gaining oi hls man, when the latter whlrlei around and sent a bullet in close prox imity to Snooks' head. The next in stant the men met and clinched. It wai a fight for life.

The committee appointed by C. 1 Sovery, assignee of the defunct Banl of El Beno, O. T., has just made a par tial statement of the condition of tin bank’s books and the financial standin; of the president of the concern, S. W Sawyer. The deposits of the bank as far as the committee ha progressed, are shown to be a lit tie over $7,000, but such vehemen protests were made by the citizens, tha the expert accountants have refused t act further as examiners. Sawyer fig ured hls assets on the books at $20,000 but this amount represents city prop erty, which is nearly all contested ante really of no value at all. The partte statements of the committee have in tenslfled the feeling against Sawyer and one of the miMltpromineut attorney iin the city said that unless Sawyer o hls wife made a speedy settlement wit hls depositors He prosecute I for larceny. 3

THE NEW PARLIAMENT. Bom« of the More Noted Facee to B« t Seen Therein. ' The new Parliament mot in London Thursday afternoon. The session was altogether formal. Speaker Peol wai , re-elocted and Gladstone and Balfour ■ were loudly cheered. i Guy Fawkes and hls gunpowder plot were not forgotten and there was the usual search for possible evidence that any one might design the blowing up ot 3 her Majesty's Parliament. The result I ot tho quest was ae usual satisfactory, no lurking anarchist or dynamiter being i found. One of the Tories wickedly rej marked that it was useless to look for 1 dynamiters in the cellar, as now they • had seats in the house, with a fair t chance ot getting into the cabinet. f Michael Davltt secured the seat formeri ly occupied by Parnell. This selection was not looked upon with favor, even by , some of Davitt’s Nationalist colleagues, ■ and tho Conservatives talk etrongly of I questioning Davitt’s right to the scat on i the ground of his record as a convict b Davitt’s cnee is said to be without prece- ■ dent in the house, it being claimed by t those opposed to his admission that hie i crime was not political in the props: I sense of the term and that hls presence e in Parliament will establish a demoral- • izing precedi nt.

many reform measures, perhaps inoluding home rule for Ireland. The most interesting character in the new Parliament is John Bums, the Labor “M. P." Ho first gained celebrity as a leader during the great “ship' strike when he took up the cause of the striking dock men and gained a decisive victory for them, and later during the Trafalgar riots. He has been a metnbei of the London County Council, and has pushed through a great many labor reforms. In this Parliament he is ranked on the side of the Liberals, although he and his associates will act independently on any measure In which the labor interests are involved. There are 67C members in the new Parliament. Joseph Chamberlain, who married a daughter of ex-Secretary of War Endicott, represents Birmingham, and is the leader of the Liberal-Unionists. CALLED COL. ORR A LIAR. An Exciting Incident Which Came Near Precipitating a Riot. An exciting incident which nearly resulted in a riot occurred at the State campaign meeting at Union, 8. C. Colonel Orr, the conservative candidate for Lieutenant Governor, in his speech reiterated the statement heretofore made on the stump and in the newspapers that Governor Tillman had flaunted hie profanity in public. The Governor in reply said that Orr or any other man who made such an assertion lied. Col. Orr, who is a giant in physique, rushed upon the Governor, ana catching him by the arm wheeled him around and asked him if he desired a personal difficulty. Tillman said he did not. Orr shook his finger in the < Governor's face and told him he could not intimate that he (Orr) was not truthful without having it thrown in his (Tillman’s) teeth. He told him further that he (Tillman) had boasted of being “God Almighty's gentleman.” The Governor said so he had, and Orr replied: “He did not do himself credit when he made you." Orr again caught hold of the Governor and asked if he intimated that he was a liar. The Governor said that if Orr did not originate the statement, his remarks did not apply to him. By this time the crowd had become a raging mob. Men pulled off their coats, climbed upon the stand, cursed, and gathered around the two men, and for several minutes a bloody riot seemed imminent. Col. Orr for the third time caught hold of Tillman and told him if he wanted a fight he could get it. The Governor said he did not, and Col. Orr went back io his seat, remarking that Tillman must let him alone. Quiet was then restored. CROWDS OF SIR KNICHTS. Templars Arriving in Denver by the Hun. dreds—Gen Gobln’ There. A Denver, Col., dispatch says: There never was such a crowd seen at the' Union Depot in this city as blocked the gateway and platforms Thursday morning.

' ' ?> J ' MARS IS A MYSTERY? ASTRONOMERS HAVE YET PROVED NOTHING. Prof. Edward 8. Holden Tells of the Chnraeter of Uie Work Helng Dona at the Link Observatory—Other Observations Being Made. Fiery Mnr» in Review. Lick Observatory has replied to many Inquiries received during the present opposition of Mars, by telegraph and by tetter, said Prof. Holden tho other day. These inquiries indicate widespread Interest, but in very many cases, at least, they appear to be based on misapprehension of the kind of work which is now being done on the planet here and elsewhere. The case is not as if astronomers were pushing out on an unknown ocean expecting to find an unknown continent. In such a case the more announcement of discovery would be all that was needed and expected. The actual circumstances aie Very different. It is as if come one had undertaken to make a now survey of tho State of Arkansas. For example, he would begin by measuring the base lines and by getting stakes and by observing angles and distances. At the end of weeks and months ho would have hls note-books tilled with figures, and after a long season of calculation he would be able to issue a now and accurate map of the region, more accurate, that is, than any preceding one. This is precisely tho immediate object of the observations of Mars which are now being made, The circumstances are very favorable in that the planet is unusually near to us. They are rather unfavorable in that the planet Is very far south and therefore low down in the sky and subject to atmospheric disturbances. Future oppositions, in which the planet will be seen at greater altitude, will be more favoraole, even if the planet be then considerably more distant. The Immediate object of our work is to make the map in question, and we already have enough material to be sure that we can considerably improve existing maps, although some of them are very fine, especially that made by Prof. Schiaparelli, for example. Os course, the ultimate object of all observations is to determine every possible physical peculiarity of the object to be investigated. If It is a planet, we wish to know how nearly it resembles the earth and whether it is fit to be inhabited by beings like ourselves. With respect to Mars It has been proposed by certain very enthusiastic astronomers to determine the question, Is the planet actually inhabited? and this is a more difficult as well as important question than the mere inquiry as to whether it is fit to be so inhabited. In my opinion the time has not yet come to even speculate on the larger question, and my reason for saying this is that I think it very doubtful if all observations yet made, numerous as they are, are at all sufficient to enable us to pronounce even the lesser inquiry. There is very little doubt that by and by science will be able to interpret all or nearly all of the phenomena now seen and to nrrlve at certainties. Just now it must be confessed that only a few things are certainly known with respect to our nearest planetary neighbors. I may say that I observe! the planet at the opposition of 1875 ail'd at every opposition since that time, and that my colleagues at Mount Hamilton and myself have faithfully followed tho planet at the oppositions ot 1888, 1890, and 1892. In fact, we are now giving nearly all tfie time of the great telescor e to this Work. The Li<± telescope has a magnifying power of 2,00), which Would bring Mars and its moons within an apparent distance of 17,500 miles from the earth at the time of the nearest approach. But Mars hangs at a declination of 22 degrees, and the greyest magnifying power that can be brought to bear upon him will not bo over 700, it is thought. That means that Mars can be brought apparently within 50,000 miles of the earth, and will appear through the telescope as if it were an object 50,000 miles away viewed by the naked eye. WORK FOR TEMPERANCE. Total Abstinence Union Holding an Interesting Hosston at Indianapolis. Indianapolis special: About 1,000 prominent Catholics from all parts of the country are attending the meeting of the National Catholic Total Abstinence Union. To-day’s proceedings began with high mass at St. John’s. Among the leaders in Ihe Catholic temperance movement who are present at the convention is Father Doyle of New York, who is well known throughout tho United States as the leading missionary worker of the Paulus order of New York City. It is likely that he will be selected to superintend the total abstinence literary bureau, as he 18 considered one ot the most energetic workers in that branch. Father Hatiagan, of Philadelphia, Is another delegate. He has the honor ol being the president ot four temperance societies and is noted for his earnest efforts in building up total abstinence unions throughout Pennsylvania. Tho most striking delegate In appearance is Father Garland, of Ohio, whose white, wavy hair and finely cut features give him a distinguished appearance. John O’Brien, the millionaire Catholic of St. Paul, is also present. He was chairman of the St Paul committee that made tho handsome - contribution recently of $25,000 toward the endowment of the Father Mathew chair in the University at Washington. One of the interesting addresses was by Father Elliott, of New York, who advocated total abstinence in all the Catholic churches, To-night a mass-meeting attended by several thousand Catholics was held in Masonic Halt Sclentlflo Drops.

July’s Volume Was Fifteen Per Cent. Above Last Year. .R. G. Dun A Co.’s weekly review of trade says: In every respect save cne the business outlook distinctly improves. The heavy sales of American stocks by foreign holders continue and draw large amounts of gold from the country, indicating foreign distrust of American finances. It is within the mark to say that the volume ol trade in July, as indicated by clearing-house exchanges, is fully lu per cent, larger than last year and greater than in any previous year, in spite of the decline of 5 per cent, in prices since a year ago. Imports are enormous, exceeding last year’s over 19 per cent, the last month, which is proof of great, activity in domestic manufactures and consumption. Speculation has made higher prices for breadstuffs, half a cent for wheat in spite of receipts at the West exceeding 1,000,000 bushels a day, with pxports of 800,000 bushels in three days. Corn has been advanced nearly 5 cents in small sales, and oats 2j cents, Western reports favoring shorter estimates. Cotton has declined t on sales of 596,000 bales for the week, crop reports being more favorable. Coffee Is i stronger and oil g lower. Business failures occurring throughout the country during the last seven days number 184, as compared with a total of 193 last week. The corresponding week of last year tho figures were 231. BROKE CHRISTIE’S BANK. A Stranger In Kanawa City Makra a Gambling Concern Clone Itn Doorn. The Christie Grain and Commission Company, which does a gambling business in fictitious mining stocks at Kansas City, Mo., closed its doors Wednesday afternoon because one of its customers, a stranger, gave every indication of intention and ability to break the bank. The Christie company is a branch of a Chicago concern run by a man named Valentine. The scheme is what is known as the “clock" scheme. Tuesday a stranger showed up at Christie’s place and began to play the game. Ho won SHOO. Wednesday he began to play again and won just as rapidly, and the house, after paying him several hundred dollars, closed down still owing him S6OO. He is supposed to be one of a gang of sharpers who “got onto” the combination in some manner and who have been working all the branches of the Chicago concern. Christie says he will reopen for business shortly. On th. Diamond. Following is a showing of the standing of each of the teams of the different association* NATIONAL LXAOUt* W. L. Vo.l W. L.

Edword S. Holden, in charge of observations at Mount Hamilton, has telegraphed as follows: “There is absolutely nothing to be said about our Mars observations night to night, or about our observations of the whole year, even, until after the work has been gone over with care and a map made of our results, which will take until Octo-* ber next at least. - All or nearly all of the present excitement over Mars is merely exaggeration and sham excitement, utterly useless to the people in general as It Is harmful to time science."
