Jrng of this country. The question Is asked whether, if we fxe to depend on foreign hips because they are cheaper, foreign countries should have been depended on for the new navy and an Inferior line secured, and thus retard the development of establishments which are able to propose to the Iixltlsh Admiralty for the contracts. It la said to be settled that the United Btates can build as good ships as any country, and build them cheaper than any country save England. Except for the law of 1732. thi3 county could not have dreamed of competing with England for the building of her own shlp3. There is said to be less reason now for assaulting our navigation laws than at any time since the war, particularly since the field of profitable emplomfnt is now greatly reduced. The first cost of the ship is aald not to be the controlling consideration, but its profitable employment. So long as foreigners protect themselves, the carrying trade cannot be taken away by the expedient of free ships. It would be folly to abandon building Iron ships when the work has Just commenced. That tho wages of American seamen are 3 per cent, higher than those paid abroad Is said to explain why so many foreigners ship with us. It 13 not so desirable to have the cheapest ships as the best ships. The extension of free registry to vessels engaged in coastwise trade is held to be the natural sequence of the proposed system. In conclusion. It is noted that no appeal has come from shipping interests to Congres3 for the change. A3IERICAX AV031EX PROTEST.

WEDDING AND SUICIDE TRAGIC EVENT FOLLOWING A HIGHLIFE 31 An RI AGE IX DOSTOX. Fickle 3Ils Wheelwright Played Sad Havoc with u. Yonng Minister Heart and Then Accepted a. Briton. BOSTON, June 11. A startling revelation has Just come to light to-night, which involves two of Boston's wealthiest families and in which a marriage and suicide are the principal features. Last Thursday afternoon Miss Laura Wheelwright, daughter of John W. Wheelwright, of the firm of "Wheelwright, Eldrldge & Co., commission merchants, was wedded to George Herbert Windier, of Long Litton Hill, Surrey, England, in King's Chapel, of this city, by Rev. George Francis Teabody, of Harvard. Prior to leaving her home the bride re ceived a letter from Benjamin F. Cox, thir ty years old, in which he said: "I cannot boar to live through your wedding dav." The bride did not pay much attention to the matter and the wedding ceremony took place. Later In the day the friends of Cox M I I .1 1 A.

The friends of the deceased did not want it said that he had committed suicide, so they gave it out that his death was from asphyxiation. The deceased was a graduate from Harvard, class of 87, and was a prominnet member in the Boston Athletic Association, Puritan, Country and Lastern yacht clubs. 3IOXUMEXT TO KEATS. Initiative In the Matter Was Begun In American. Augusta Chronicle. The American people will soon realize an undertaking which will reflect great honor upon them. For seventy-two wars the author of "Endymion" and "The Eve of St. Agnes" has been unhonored with a monument. All the history of literature. aoes not afford a more pathetic life and death than that of Keats. Born in the lowest walks of life, he acquired, through his own exertions, the cultivation which developed the wonderful faculties latent wnhin him. The graceful numbers which flowed so spontaneously from his feeling neart were emoeuishea with information won under trying difficulties. And when. wounded by the unreeling thrusts of unappreciation, his delicate nature finally Buccumbed, this was his epitaph: "Here lies a young English poet who, in the bitterness of his heart at the mallg- " nant power of his enemies, requested that these lines should be written over him: Here lies one whose name was writ in water.' " He might have said more truthfully, writ with the blood of his own heart. In a Oulet snot outside the walls of Rome he lleeps his long sleep, far from the Beollans who murdered him. with no name. no date, nothing but the pathetic lines jbove. written upon his modest headboard. But, while fatally delayed, his destiny was pot to be a name writ in water. He Is jovea ana nonorea wnerever tne English tongue Is spoken. It should bo a proud toast on the part of Americans that they took the Initiative in this movement, and It will go far to redeem them from the brand of ingratitude which they have placed upon themselves too often.

DEATH OP EDWARD Kt HX RAFFLES THE COROXER AT SHEIdlYVILLE, Evidence that Cnpt. Dentmin Was Murdered Kokonio Unemployed Driven to Theft. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBYVILLE, Ind.t June lb-Edward Kuhn, a prosperous young farmer, aged twenty-seven, died at his home, near Meltzerville, this morning, under suspicious circumstances. He was taken violently ill yesterday about noon with symptoms of etrychina poisoning. About a year ago the family was poisoned with strychlna, which had been placed In the groceries while all were away from home. This time, however, Kuhn himself was the only one who was afflicted, and it Is thought by some that the drug had teen placed In the water Jug he carried to the field. Others think he committed suicide, although no cause can be found. Several persons are under sus picion ana coroner Uruce Is investigating. MORE MYSTERIOUS. Cnpt. Ben man Believed to Have Been Slardered and Robbed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., June 10. The death of Capt. E. C. Beaman, the Morion conductor, whose body was found beside the tracks, three miles north of this city, yesterday morning, becomes more mysterious the more the facts come out. The suicide idea Is losing ground. On Friday night Mr. Beaman, at 6 o'clock, took oat an accident policy in the Travelers' Company for $3,000, but when his papers were over hauled it was discovered that there were a number of these policies, showing that it had been his custom to take out policies whenever he traveled on the cars, since the expiration of his employes' policy. which he carried while in active service. There are some circumstances that bear cut the murder theory of the officers. After the train passed the Wabash river con ductor Byers noticed Beaman get up and go out of the ladies car as if to go in the smoking car In advance. It is now known he never reached the smoking car. immediately alter Beaman a tall man, with a light overcoat, stepped out of the ladles' coach almost at the same time. This man was not again seen on the train ny the employes, though the absence of Beaman was not known. It Is the theory of the officers that this man followed the Captain from Chicago; that when the old conductor stepped out on the platform this fellow knocked him from the platform. which he could easily do. Then he came Into Lafayette and retraced his steps to the point where Beaman was thrown off the train and robbed him and threw the body on the tracks. Beaman was laying on his face, at right angles with the track. Both legs were across the rails, both hav ing been cut off bv the wheels, and cne of them carried a distance of perhaps one hundred feet. The left arm was under the body. Th. hat wa-on his head. The strange part of this latter circumstance Is that while there are two or three cuts and holes In the head of the dead man there are no corresponding holes In his hat. Railway men contend that It Is out of the question for a man to Intentionally or accidentally fall from a rapidly-moving passenger train and have both legs fall across the track at the knees. The natural thing would be to fall away from the cars. He was a man . who sometimes regaled his friends with stories of his ample bank roll, and the flash of his diamond stud and scarf pin may have tempted the cupidity of some evil-minded person. GRACIE'S LITTLE SURPRISE. She Married the Mnn of Her Choice During the "World's Fair. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. VALPARAISO, Ind., June 10. In answer to the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Rlfenburg to a- reception for their daughter about sixty couples were present at the home of Col. W. II. Rlfenburg, one of the most prominent citizens of Hobart, Friday night. When the guests had assembled the announcement was made that their daugh ter Grace, In whose honor the reception was given, had been the wife of Prof. Joe Conroy, of this city, since July 31, 1833. While visiting the world's fair, on July 31, a party of four, Including the happy couple, decided to visit Kenosha, Wis., over the lake. While there the party met a minister who was a former schoolmate of the groom. The conversation ended in a banter, and the proposition was made to perform the ceremony in a hair serious way, which was accepted, and the marriage ceremony performed under the shade of a tree in the park. The secret was well kept, the parents of the couple being none the wiser until last Wednesday. The groom for sev eral years has been the assistant principal of the Hobart school, and Miss Rlfenburg one or the society belies or the town. FIRED A 31 1 LITI AM A V. Terre Hnnte Ilrlckmnkers Dlnhonornbly Discharge a Union Man. Terre Haute Express. The Brotherhood of Brlckmakers held a lively session at the courthouse last night. The meeting was largely attended and abounded with interesting features. A res olution extending sympathy for the family of William Barr, the murdered engineer, and bitterly condemning the cowardly man ner in which he was killed was read and adopted by a unanimous vote of the mem bers. The lodge also voted . a dishonorable discharge from the order to James Baird. This action was 'taken for the reason that Baird is a member of Company B and was forced to go with the militia when the troops were called to suppress the lawlessness of the striking miners in Sullivan and Daviess counties. The meeting also con demned the action of Governor Matthews in calling out the troops. Hope to Knock Out Cooper. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COLUMBUS. Ind., June 10. This city is filling up with delegates to the congressional convention to be held here Tuesday. There is a fight on and all day long Judge Caning's headquarters in the Belvidere Hotel have been visited by antiCooper men. The first delegates to arrive were from Owen county, and they are being cared for and entertained by the anti-Cooper men. Congressman Cooper is on the ground and taking an active part in arranging preliminaries. The anti-Cooo er men have taken quarters at the Belvidere Hotel, just across the street from convention hall, while the Cooper forces will have' rooms at the St. Denis Hotel, from which place the reception commUtee will show them the city and suburbs. Cooper Is confident of success, and his opponents are confident that they can defeat him. It will require eighty-six vctet to do this, and this they claim they will have when they agree as to who shall make the race. The anti-Cooper men were In caucus until a late hour to-night, but no agreement will be reached until all the delegates are present. Her Mind W'nn Unbalanced. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

The rain of last night was the heaviest this county has had for twenty-five years, and as a consequence the entire Walnut valley is entirely covered with water and considerable damage to crops and property will result. The Walnut river commenced rising at 3 o'clock this morning, and by 7 had risen twenty feet, and was out of its banks. It was a mile and a half wide In this city. Several families were rescued In boats from Riverside, a suburban village. It Is thought that no lives are lost. The Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific have suffered considerably, having several bridges and considerable track washed out. A train came within two miles of here on the Missouri Pacific this evening, and the passengers were then brought here in boats. The electric-light, gas and water works are all under water. It is raining again to-night. CATS IX INDIA. The Credit of Tnmlnjr These Animal la Ascribed to Egypt. New York Telegram. A writer, in the London Standard thus refers to the doubtful origin of cats: "It is as certain as such things can be that the whole credit of taming this most hopeless of animals belongs to Egypt. In the first place no reference to It has yet been discovered in Assyria. Prof. Max Muiler assures the Rev. W. Houghton, in answer to a query, that the cat became known in India at a time comparatively recent. There are plenty of allusions in Greek literature to an animal which caught mice, for this habit it was sacrificed to Apollo Smintheus, the perplexing 'Mouse Apollo,' of whom Mr. Andrew Ing has discoursed so learnedly and so pleasantly. "I3ut Professor Itolleston has proved beyond further dispute that this was the white-breasted marten. One single fact is enough to show that it was not a cat we find incidental reference to this abominable smell. It might be supposed that martens rank among animals once domesticated, but now abandoned to their native vildncss, but Prof. Rolltton cites Jime. Jeannette Powers's statement that in the Lake district of England they are often tame 1 perhaps we should use the past tense now. Doubtless the CJ reeks were not unacquainted with cats, but as foreign curiosities only. The evidence is negative, but complete: no 'novelist,' nor comedy writer, nor compiler of anecdotes alludes to them, though Aristophanes mentions the marten 'gale.' It is the same case at Rome. Cicero names the cat only once, and then as the Egyptian pet: Ovid once, in describing metamorphosis. In the latter time of Pliny, however, the word 'fells' occurs pretty frequently. Rut since he advises that the water in which a 'fells' has been boiled should "be srrinkled around to drive mice away, it seems likely that the marten is "still the creature signified. Hut in Italy, also, the domestic cat was known so far as that goes ages before. We see it portrayed with a mouse in. its Jaws on tho wall of an Etruscan tomb, as old, perhaps, as the foundation of Rome. "It seems strange that the general employment of a creature so useful should have made way so slowly; but It must be remembered that the 'gale performed Its duty. Northern mythology represents F rev J a, goddess of Love and Fortune, in a chariot drawn by two cats, but Prof. Eolleston's demonstrations suggest a doubt whether the animals are properly so clashed. Mr. Hans llildebrand, Royal Antiquary of Sweden, has' displayed with an infiiuity which we admire, thoutjti very few can judge Its value that all the Innumerable forms of Scandinavian ornament which to the unlearned represent snakes and dragons were really designed for Hons couchant.' If that be so Freyja's cats may very well have been sparrows, or fnw nr Rrtonts, or anything."

FEAST OF THE ROSES

QUAIXT DOETIC CEHEMOXIES AT THE MAMIEIM CHURCH. One Hundred nnd Twentieth Annlversay of Daron Stieg:nl' Gift to Lancaster, Pa. LANCASTER. Pa,. June 10. The "Feast of Roses," one of the most beautiful of the ceremonies observed In this region of quaint religious sects, was celebrated today In the church in Manheim, a pretty agricultural village of this county. One hundred and twenty years ago, when Lancaster county was more nearly akin to a wilderness than the garden spot which now makes It famous in agricultural Pennsylvania, the struggling religious workers in Manheim began a movement toward erecting a permanent place of worship. The ground for the church was donated by Baron Stlegel, a large land owner In the vicinity. The gift was not made outright, but was coupled with a poetic sentiment expressed in the deed that the consideration of the transfer was an annual rental to consist of one red rose. Ever since that time the red rose has been paid, and gradually rent day has developed into a festival In rose time. The blossoms are now in the full perfection of their bloom, and to-day the venerable church was transformed Into a bower of gorgeous beauty. All morning the residents of the surrounding country side came in wagons and on foot, with their contributions of blossoms. The ceremonies consisted of a literal compliance with the requirements of .the terms of the original deed. The oration was delivered by Attorney-general Hensel, of Pennsylvania. , IX THE GLACIAL TIME. A Period "When "Western Pennsylvania "Was Covered by an Ocean. Pittsburg Dispatch. Comparatively few of the many persons that live on or travel over the valley terraces of western Pennsylvania or Ohio grasp the fact that an ocean of waters once rested or surged almost all over this region. Granite bowlders or "hardheads" from the far north lie on the high hill tops northward of the Ohio river, and, while it is evident that the submergence necessary for these "droppings," covered the southward side of the Ohio valley as well, yet these peculiar bowlders are there absent Ice fields or ice constructions that formed on the ground are the only carriers of such material, and these Immense ice bodies, whatever their thickness, were threefourths submerged, and must have floated at a still much higher elevation than where these rocks rested. The Ohio river channel had evidently been eroded prior to this extensive inundation, and when the ice came from the north, laden with this granite and other material, the stronger current having the Ohio channel as its basis, deflected the ice fields and so obliqued them that they scattered their detritus over the hills northwestward of the river mentioned. East of the Beaver river and the Ohio Just before it strikes Rochester there are three prominent knobs that stand up above the general hill surface and whose heads probably peered above the general waste of waters that then stood at least 1,300 feet above the present tide level. These hill peaks are Big knob, in New Sewickley township, In Beaver county, 1,450 feet; a knob In McCandless township. 1,37a feet. and another in Pine township. 1,333 feet above the present tidewater. The last two mentioned townships are In Allegheny county. But It is surprising' when we consider this 1,300 feet of higher altitude of water than Is now reached by the tides and apply this increase to the towns and valleys of such districts as were affected. Johnstown would be under water one hundred feet. On Chartiers creek the water at. Washing ton railroad station stood at 250 feet. This Is considerably higher than the statue of the Father of His Country that adorns the cupola of the courthouse of the countv mentioned. Grafton was submerged three nunarea reet. ine water ascended Cheat river to Rowlesburg: up the Youghloghenv to Confluence; up the Loyalhanna to the middle of its gap; up the Allegheny to the line of New York, leaving Oil City under water three hundred feet and Warren one hundred feet. Up Oil creek valley the water stood above Titusville 120 feet, and the level found its terminus at the town of Centerville, In Crawford county. Franklin, at the conflu ence or .trench creek with the Allecrhenv river.was' submerged nearly three hundred feet and the crest of the Butler oil belt was only a little above this glacial level, while the town of Butler, at the present time noted for being "dry," had a site then wet by 300 feet. In the northwestern part of the county is Harrisvllle. which point stood" niiy ieet out or water. At this time the reelon between the town of Beaver on the Ohio and Erie on the lake or the same name was a broad strait and the main branches of the Slippery Rock and many other tributaries were bays. On the present railroad summit northwest of Conneaut lake the water stood 1C0 feet deep; Meadville station was submerged 130 ana tne surrounding plain, with .Pymatuning swamp was a part of the great North ern sea. Thus it is that all of the now populous and thriving towns of western Pennsylvania had their sites Inundated be neath waters hundreds of feet deep and pretty much all of Ohio was subjected to a similar visitation. Now, there is just so much water cn the earth, no less and no more. It then becomes evident that, when this vast area had this excess of water, another area elsewhere must have had a corresponding lack, ine position cannot be refuted, and it ronows tnen, when tnere was this greater altitude of water in the Northern hemi sphere the Southern hemisphere was Just that much short, as we now see the situations reversed, with the earth's northern region comparatively dry and the great body ot waters encircling the southern pole. The problem of how these changing al titudes In ocean levels were wrought is one of physics, and really does not come with in the purview of geology. With the physicist, then, it is most unsatisfactorily difficult to reconcile this rise and recession of oceans within the lines of the earth's ordinary diurnal action, without a changing center of gravity and without a necessary shifting of the polar points. Tnere is irrefutable evidence that submerg ence and emergence have followed suc cessively not once only, but time and again. There is evidence that cannot be ignored that the Atlantic seaboard has been de pressed 1.000 feet below the present level. and we may Infer that, the higher plateaus and mountains excepted, pretty much all the present dry land of the earth has been washed with the waves or rolling seas. COXFIDEXCE OFSEXATOItS SometimeN Uetruyed by Washington Xewmpnper Correspondent. Joe Howard, in New York Recorder. Washington correspondents are a peculiar class. Very young men are rarely sent to the capital. The most discreet, the most presentable, the better endowed men of experience, of professional training and of wide horizoned acquaintance are ordinarily selected by wideawake editors to represent metropolitan gazettes at that important point. A well-established Washington correspondent has access at all suitable times, and under all circumstances proper, to the highest, the most influential individuals in Washington. The President, the secretaries, the high officials of every name feel the utmost confidence in the honor and the discretion of these men. They talk with them freely, understanding, without the formality of expression, that they are not talking for publication. Understanding also that if. for any reason. the correspondent does Intend to publish what is 6aid, the speaker shall be so noti fied, and nothing whatever of the interview shall ever see the light without explicit understanding on the part of the giver of the information to that effect. So well understood is this that the great metropol itan newspapers of the land would dis charge, without a moment's notice, any correspondent who should be so disloyal, so forgetful of duty, so dishonorable, and. Indeed, so impolite and short-sighted as to violate this well-established rule. Some years ago a very industrious, a very Intelligent and not particularly loyal newspaper man, frequently met in John Cham berlain's charming resort in Washington, a distinguished Senator trom one of the great States of the union. Conversations were frequently held by the two as to measures. Individuals and matters of Importance, without the faint est idea on the part of the official that what he said was in any sense to be given to the public. One morning the community here, and subsequently the nation, were amazed to read In the widely-circulated columns of an Influential Journal, a fullpaged Interview with this distinguished Senator. He chanced to be In the city at the time, and the discovery spoiled his breakfast. Aa he read and read his amazement became Indignation, his indig nation wrath, and his wrath determina tion for revenge. Calling a toy he hastily penned an unrestricted denial of the inter view. Ine ideas, tne very words seemed hi, vet he knew that, constant to his pur pose of many years, he had not granted an interview, fo that perplexity became a factor In the problem. The free lance who had sold the interview to the great Journal

was speedily brought to book, when he gave the very simple explanation that every word he had recorded had been uttered by the Senator to whom It wj. attributed.

but that the story In the whole was a mosalcized grouping of frequent little talks, none of which were intended for publication, but all of which made an in teresting Interview, and as such he sold It The unprofessional character of the act will at once be apparent to every reader, as It was to the editor, who gave orders that nothing from that gentleman's pen should ever again find hospitality in the columns of his journal.

W e stayed at native inns ana hotels, except in large cities, where we usually took lodgings. We went second cabin in steamships and second and third class on railroads. Our luggage consisted simply of a camera and two knapsacks. Our knowledge of foreign languages was confined to a limited command of German, which stood us In good stead In Austria, Italy and Switzerland. Had we known Italian and French our expenses would have been less. Our living expenses for the whole time, not including the days on the ocean, averaged 75 cents to each of us. Railroad and steamer fares averaged 97 cents each. Thus, $1.72 was the whole actual cost per diem. Careful and detailed accounts of the ex penses on our trip were made and preserved. These figures, showing railroad, steamer and living expenses, are actual. not estimates. The railroad and steamship expenses from New York through England and the continent and return were xiti.3:: each. The living expenses. Including ail dally incidentals, for the two of us per week were as follows: Scotland and Edlnburg $13.73 English lakes 15.30 Cathedral towns and London 13.50 London : 12.08 London. Holland and Belgium 12.54 Germany 11.75 Germany Berlin 9.n Germany 11.36 Austria and .Italy li.yi Italy Rome 10.51 Italy and Switzerland...: lo.ss Switzerland 9.37 Paris 10.63 Paris 8.91 Paris and London 7.9S London 6.91 London and England ., 7.1S Total $186.69 It Is to be noticed that the cheapest week was In London, the cost of living there being less than 50 cents a day. As a rule, the living expenses in the large cities were considerably less than elsewhere. We spent more than half the time In the great capitals six weeks in London, three In Paris, two in Berlin and one in Rome. It was our plan to secure lodging's where we remained a week or more. In London we had a pleas ant room in Russell square, only a few minutes from the British Museum, Holborn and the city. Our rent was 8 shillings a week, or 1 cents a day each. On Holborn we found a restaurant where a sub stantial roast beef dinner could be had for from 6 pence up. Very often we took our breakfast in our room. It consisted of cof fee, rolls and butter, cold meat. Jam, etc. This was made possible by a small alcohol stove and supply of provisions. In Berlin we had a large and very comfortable front room, containing two beds, a lounge, arm chairs, grate,, piano, etc., which cost us 15 marks for the two weeks, or 13 cents a day each. In Paris we paid even less for a room at a hotel. We were nearly always fortunate In having a definite place in mind before arriving in a city. This came to us by diligence and perseverance in convers ing with fellow-travelers. We always made it a rule to arrive early in a town so that we could secure rooms to advantage. We asked questions without stint, and prevented ourselves from being swindled by making definite bargains at the beginning. HORN CRIMINALS. Vicious Traits That Can He Traced to Prenatal Influences. New York Mail and Express. Efforts to secure the release of Jesse Pomeroy, "the boy fiend," have been made three times within twenty years. Another one is to be made this week by several well-meaning but wholly sentimental women in Boston, who have reached the hys terical conclusion that It is "a crying shame to keep that young man buried in a dungeon away from the glorious sun light and the free air or heaven, which even the birds are permitted to breathe." That these hyperbolic dames will not suc ceed in their undertaking is pretty well understood, and It Is to be hoped that they will not. Who knows but Jesse, in a fit of gratitude, might not slice off one of their noses as a sort of sentimental keepsake? He has never shown any signs of a change of heart, and his keepers say that it is simply a lack of opportunity that prevents him from exercising his unconquerable love for torturing his fellow-creatures. Pon eroy's case is one of the most interesting in the history or criminology, it is a strong and convincing argument in favor of those philosophers who claim that crim inals are Lorn and not made; that hereditary and prenatal influences shape the career of every child born into the world aa surely as the watering of the roots of a white rosebush with bullock's blood produces a red flower. Pomeroy's- mother, they say, used to watch her husband, a butcher, kill sheep, and appeared to be fascinated with the sight. This feeling she transmitted io her offspring, and in him it found expression in the torture of chil dren. The story has been told a dozen times. Corroborative support of the the ory is given in the career of Florence Bansmuller, the woman pickiocket. general swindler, confidence woman in fact, anything and everything in the line of rascality where it i3 possible to get money dishonestly rather than honestly. Her father and mother were respectable, hard-working people. They had four or five children. All of them turned out well .except Florence. Before her birth her mother saw a skillful pickpocket rob three men In succession. He did it so quickly and so deftly that the woman watched him with breathless interest. When she came to herself and gave the alarm she thought, as she afterward expressed it, that she was awakening from a dream or trance. The incident made such an impression on her mind that she brooded over It, and continually speculated as to what effect a certain movement on the part of the victim when detection seemed imminent would have had on the ultimate result of the pickpocket's attempt, and without having ever before In her life thought of such a thing she tried to imagine how she would act under similar circumstances. A full statement embodying these facts was made by Mrs. Bansmuller a week previous to her death. She said that notwithstanding all the disgrace that had teen brought upon her by her, wayward daughter she had borne it In silence rather than make a statement which she believed the world would ridicule and disbelieve. In fact, as she wrote on her deathbed, she blamed herself for having influenced her child, and that was another reason why she held her peace. Florence began to steal as soon as she was able to walk and grasp objects, and by the time she was nine years old she was as adroit as one of Fagin's pupils. Pleadings, threats, punishment all had the same effect. Sne promised reformation with tears, and apparently meant what she said, but the moment temptation presented itself she yielaed, and would steal anything, from a pin to a pocketbook. This remarkable living example of psychic Influence, conveyed through the parent. Is still a thief; is still repentant alter the commission of a crime, and in all probability will so continue to alternate in emotion until she dies. Xo Strikes In Mexico. New York Mail and Express. "Do you know," said a Mexican capitalist now in this city, "that my country has been affected less than any other by the wave of financial depression which has swept over the world in the last two or three years? It is the simple truth that Mexico has been practically unaffected. We have no strikes, and if there are any labor troubles whatever the strong arm of the government interposes at once to maintain law and order and protect employers and employed in the right to make contracts to suit themselves without Intervention from outsiders, whether organized or unorganized. Such things a are now going on In Colorado and in the American coal districts generally are out of the question. Moreover, contrary to the general Impression, we have stable governments. State and national. Revolutions are a thing of the past In Mexico. A jrood deal of American capital has found its way across the border, and Is safely and profitably invested. Why. in my town of Monterey, four or five millions, much of ltAmerican money, have been Invested within the last three or four ytars in smelters and factories.

THE SMALLPOX IIACILIAS. A Scientific Investigator Flnd tu Germ nud rropti:nte It. Washington Special to the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. The bacteriologists at the Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons exchanged some surprising experiences. Dr. Harold C. Ernst, of Boston, however, contributed the most wonderful of all tha stories of germs and cultures. Dr. Ernst told how the late Dr. S. C. Martin entered his laboratory to make a study of the germs of smallpox. Dr. Martin's father was the man who introduced the manufacture of cow pox into this country. He maintained this Industry for many years and then turned it over to his ort. The latter continued the production of virus for vaccination purposes, Lut desiring to learn more about the disease for which he was man u fact urimr the preventive he came to Dr. Krnst's laboratory and entered upon a series of experiments. This worK he continued until his fatal ill ness. On 'his deathbed, just previous to a surgical operation, he committed to Dr. Ernst an account of his discoveries. This story Dr. Ernst told to the bacteriologists. Accustomed as they were to have their credulity taxed by the revelations la their peculiar field of research, these gentlemen could hardly believe In the results of Dr. Martin's work. Dr. Martin began his investigation by collecting from smallpox patients, a large number and variety of bacterid- He bred from these bacteria. Or, in the language of bacteriology, he got cultures. With these cultures he Inoculated calves, and the calves produced cow pox. Prom this cow pox he took virus ami vaccinated children. The matter "took" with all the vigor of the best virus. The operation was informed until Dr. Martin was sure he had found the bacteria which causes smallpox. He described it to Dr. Ernst as "a short, tine bacillus with rounded ends." Obtaining the bacteria from people with smallpox, Dr. Martin reproduced them through no fewer than fourteen generations of culture. He dipped points in the tube containing the fourteenth culture and gave them to Dr. Williams. Tne latter vaccinated with, these points and jrot l-r-fect vaccination results in one or two casts. Dr. Martin himself did not carry his experiments far enough to star,llsh this from his own observation. He tril ten cases of vaccination direct from culture tubes, but none of them "took." Dut he inoculated many calves direct from his culture tubes and produced cow r- In f;lcl 1)r- Ernst said, much of the virus sent from the Martin, establishment for two years wis produced upon the calves by inoculation from the culture tubes. 1 of ore he died Dr. Martin was sure h had found the bacillus of smallpox. He felt that It only remained to be shown how thi germ could be produced by culture so as to vaccinate without the intermediate production of cow pox. He had .iroiagated tne germ through generation alter generation, but something more was necessary, he felt, to make It available for practical vaccinatlon without going througn the calf.
