TYPHI'S ASTITOXIS. Result of Kxperisnenta Made by Profs. Pfelpper and Knllee. WASHINGTON'. Nov. 30. Commercial Agent Sawter reports to the State Department from Glichau. Germany, on recent experiments by Professors Pfelpper and Kallee with "typhus anatoxin." If the liopes of tho professors arc realized medlvit c!flnft txlll irlt'A a mnt vain a hi a accession through their discoveries. "The experimenters believe that typhus germs, like cholera germ, may be traced back to the existence In the blood of antityphoid substances. Tho typhoid bacillus is known to exist largely In well and spring water, and tho fact that they are frequently the direct causes of infection Is recognized by bacteriologist. Conseq!ently the experiments, the report sets forth, tend to trace the existence of th?se germs, and by locating them, preserving numberless lives. It 'Is shown that between the ages of twenty and twenty-five persons are most prone to the development of the typhus germs. It is believed that the "typhus antitoxin can easily and quickly be inoculated, proving of great benefit, especially in time of epidemic.

Tracy weighed 142 and Ryan balanced tre scale at 143. It was one of the cleverest fights ever seen here, both men doing good work in fair, open fighting, with notable absence of clinches. While Tracy did nearly all the leading, Ryan proved to be a splendid defensive fighter, countering well with lefts on the body. Tracy repeatedly rushed Ryan into the ropes. The latter seemed unable to avoid Tracy's vicious left jabs in the face, but countered well. Ryan's shiftiness was the feature of the fight. He avoided many hard left swings by clever ducking. The first three rounds were occupied in sparring for an opening, with a few leads from Tracy for the wind. In tho fourth Tracy rushed matters and landed three lefts on tho face and a left on the wind, while Ryan countered with his left on the ribs and chest. Tracy continued his left Jabs in the fourth and brought blood from Ryan's cheek. Ryan reached the wind twice .with left swings. Tracy rushed Ryan to tho ropes and landed a hot right over the heart, which caused Ryan to slip down under tho ropes. Tracy helped his opponent to his feet amid the cheers of tho audience. In the eighth Tracy led Ryan on with telnts and landed a hard left on the body. Ryan countering with left on head and body. In the tenth and last round the lighting was fast. Tracy acting as pacemaker, landed left Jabs on face and left swings on body. Ryan camo back with a right over the heart and a left on the body.

Hanley took his punishment well and stood up to It like a man during the entire twenty rounds, getting in an occasional upper cut or a light lead on the face. McPartland played the aggressor from start to finish, but Hanley was successful in avoiding a knockout McPartland was given the decision at the end of the twentieth "en points."

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30. Martin Julian stated this evening that ho had Just telegraphed an acceptance of Dan Stuart's offer for a finish fight between Corbett and Fitzslmmons for a H3.000 purse. He has sent a similar telegram to Corbett. Julian says his reasons for accepting this offer in preference to offers for a larger purse is that Fitzslmmons desires to fight to a finish. Stuart offers to place the entire purse in responsible hands and to name the timo and place when the articles ere signed. If the match is not brought off at the time and place specified each of tho principals, according to Julian, is to receive half of this purse. Julian believes the tight will be brought off at Juarez.

Their respective managers have been trying to select a referee, but Lynch, acting for Sharkey, does not wish a choice to be made until the last moment. If no one is selected by Wednesday noon the National Athletic Club will name an official. Each pugilist seems confident of the decision. The betting is generally from 3 to 1 to 4 to 1 in favor cf Fitzslmmons. Martin Julian, the latter's manager, says he is betting 4 to 1 that Sharkey will be knocked out in four rounds. Roosevelt May Act ns Umpire. BOSTON, Nov. CO. Police Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, was. asked to-night If he would be In favor of permitting tho Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight to be pulled off in New York and he refused to answer further than to state that he must hear all the arguments pro and con before he would make any decision.

FAILURE OF TWO BANKS

MISSOURI NATIONAL, OF KANSAS CITY, MO., FORCED TO CLOSE. Caused by Heavy "Withdrawals and Dissensions Anions: Directors Suspension at Tyler, Te. KANSAS CITY. Mo., Nov. SO.-The Missouri National Bank closed its doors thl3 morning, owing "to heavy withdrawals of one of its principal depositors. The bank was clasped as one of the strongest in the Southwest. Shortly after 11 o'clock the following notice was placed on the door: "By order of the directors, th!3 bank has been closed and is in the hands of the controller." This action was precipitated by the withdrawal of JoO.OOO in one lump by Helm, the wealthy local, brewer, whose action was quickly followed by others. The last statement issued by the bank showed deposits of $1,561.C09 and cash exchanges amounting to &4G,0C0. Its officials are D. V. Rleger, president, and D. R. Cowllngton, cashier. In the panic of July, 1S93, the Missouri National went under, but It soon reopened. The bank had been open to-day for Just an hour, when the controller took charge of its affairs. The officers were thoroughly disconcerted by the action and too excited to make a statement. The same surprise was evinced everywhere, other banks believing the Missouri National to have regained its prestige md to bo in a flourishing condition. No fears were expressed by oher leading bankers that failure would spread. Absolutely no figures on the asset3 or liabilities are obtainable. Two causes are assign3d for the suspension. One Is slow collections. Tho other reason, and tho prime reason, was that there have been dissensions among the directors. Thcso were of such character that they finally led to a clashing with the government, and it was thought best to close the doors of the bank .and have things straightened out. The latter statement was confirmed by President RIeger this afternoon. "I have little to say." ho said to a reporter, "except that there Is no doubt whatever that the depositors will get wery dollar they have deposited here, and If the business is judiciously handled tho stockholders shculd get a very fair return." H. A. Forman, of St. Louis, national bank examiner for Missouri, is in charge of the bank. I can give no information," he said, "beyond what is found In the notice of suspension and what is contained in the bank's last financial statement." The bank opened for business at the usual hour this morning and numerous persons made deposits before the closing notice had been posted. These deposits, according to Cashier Cowlington, will be paid back, probably in a few days. The bank had between 2.2U0 and 2.U00 depositors, most of them for small amounts. And there are probably 120 stockholders cf the concern.' That the failure cannot involve, even indirectly, any member of the Kansas City Clearing-house Association is the consensus of opinion among all the clearing-house members. At no time, it is claimed, has the cash reserve been held in all banks at such high percentage on demand deposits. From the twenty-four-hour reports on currency made by the different cashiers of the various banks it would appear that since the election, as the direct result of the uneasiness felt in regard to monetary legislation, most of the local banks called in loans and hoarded up cash in their vaults untli from 43 to 65 per cent, of all deposits were held In cash in vaults. A dispatch from Washington rays the Missouri National Bank, of Kansas City, has a capital of $2GO,000, and at the date of its last report had' a surplus and profits amounting to $23.W0: deposits. $1.131.0u0; dim to other banks. $2:4.oOu. Bank Examiner Forman has been placed in charge. The failure of tho First National Bank, of Tyler. Tex., was also reported. This bank had a capital of $200,000; surplus and profits. $G2.0X): due to other banks, W.WA; deposits. 5231.000; borrowed money, $221,000. Bank Examiner McDonald has betn placed in charge. . Texas Dank Closed. TYLER. Tex., Nov.. SO. The Fir3t National Bank suspended this morning. The following notlco was posted on tho door: "Owing to continued withdrawal of deposits and our inability to realize on assets, the directors deem it to the best interests of all to suspend payment. All depositors will be paid in full." The bank had a. capital stock of $200,000 and $10,000 surplus according to the last sworn statement. It is tho opinion of the'officers that the bank will be speedily reorganized. Ileeelver for n. Traction Company. PIIILADKLP1IIA, Nov. 30.

Chicago physicians had a consultation last night regarding the illness of Moriz Rosenthal, the pianist, and pronounced it tj-phold fever, as yet in a mild form. The physicians found no immediate danger In his condition, should no more complications arise. The big plant of the Sanford (Me.) Manufacturing Company resumed operations Monday, after a long shut-don. About eight hundred people, or two-thlrd3 of the full force, are at work, and the others will be employed as scon as the general business outlook warrants. It Is reported that Prince Krnest of Wln-disch-Graetz, a lieutenant in the regular artillery of Austria, with a physician named Meade, has been attacked and robbed by brigands at Vizgavona. in the interior of Corsica, where he was traveling for hl3 health. The prince had with him much money and many valuables. The Children of the Rich. Marlon Crawford. In the Century. Then there were children, conspicuous among theiri tho vulgar little children of the not long rich, repulslveb disagreeable to the world In general, but pathetic in the eyes of thinking men and women. They are the sprouting shoots of the gold-tree, beings predestined never to enjoy, because they will be always able to buy what strong men fight for, and will never learn to enjoy what Is really to be had only for money; and the measure of value will not be In their hands and heads, but in bankbooks, out of which their manners have been bought with mingled affection and vanity. Surely, if anything is more Intolerable than a vulger woman, it is a vulgar child. The poor little thing is produced by all nations and races, from the AngloSaxon to the Slav. Its father was happy in the struggle that ended in success. When It grows old its own children will perhaps bo happy In the sort of. refined exlstenco which wealth can . bring ; in the

third generation. But the child of the man

grown suddenly rich is a living . misfor tune between two happinesses neither a worker nor an enjoyer; having neither the satisfaction of tho one nor the pleasures of tho other; hated by Its inferiors in fortune, and a source of amusement to Its ethic and esthetic betters.

Nov. 30.-The two-storv framo house of Samuel Henderson, colored. who resides about three miles from town, was burned this morning at 1 o'clock. Five of his children, two of whom were grown, perished in the flames. They were all sleeping and before they could escape from the flre received burns of such a serious nature that they died shortly af terward. The structuro was the property of I. L. Howell, and the . cause of the burning is supposed to be of Incendiary origin. Foul play is suspected and an investigation may develop a diabolical crime. Steamer and Two Men Darned.

TUB HENS' CAnOESAL. Remarkable Ornithological and Le&al Complication. London Mail. A story of shocking depravity on the part of poultry has just been told in the Sheriff s Court at Oban. John Turner Laggan claimed 50 damapes, restricted to 12. against a local distillery companj for injury done to his htns 'by the said comnanv havln? alinw in toxicating mrterial to flow Into the Laggan barn." This material, it was said, caused drunkenness -tmongst the pursuer's poultry, and consequently rendered them of little, if any, value to him. Mr. Laggan stated that for some years past he had been making a. considerable income from keeping poultry, but since the starting of the distillery he had made little or nothing. His hens and ducks would not eat. They were, he might say, almost always more or less under tho influence of drink, except on Sundays, when the distillery was not working. On Sundays their condition was pitiable in the extreme. Mondays were their worst days, for then the hens drank execessively, fell into the burn frequently, and lately he had to keep a boy to loole after them on Monday mornings. They took no food unless they first had a walk to Laggan burn. Their conduct on shore was generally reprehensible, and the ducks were no better than the hens. It took the poultry some time to discover the burn. He thought It was a hen he had bought at Fort William that made the discovery llrst, and that she had led the rest astray. Superintendent Moss was then asked by "Mr. Scott to p!ace on the bench a large cage of wicker-work containing the Fort Willlam hen referred to. Mr. Scott (to Mr. Laggan): This is the Fort William hen? It is. Is it sober? It is not. Anyone could notice that this was correct, for the bird sat on the bottom of the cage and put its long neck through the bars, looked sideways at the ceiling, crooning to itself in what was termed a "maudlin style." Finally she seemed to address some forcible remarks to his lordship, who ordered her to be taken away, Was this hen at the distillery burn this morning? Anyone could see that. (Laughter.) How are the other hens to-day? "Worse than this one. Was this the only one you could take to court? Yes. Why? The rest were too drunk. So that on the whole the Fort William hen is not the worst? That is so. How do you account for that? She can stand it better. Cross-examined: What do the hens do when they return frm the burn? Sleep. Anvthing else? ATlcr a sleep they generally tight. , In the end Sheriff Mactavish de lured that the case being a pcrallar one, he should have to postpone his: decision. Outside the court the Fort William hen was the object of much interest. A thoughtful individual .r?se:U?d to it fully half a. glass of whisky, which ?t tooK greedilv.

Washington Post. WThenever a discussion as to the failure of some unfortunate to make a decent living is In progress, there is usually heard the remark: "I would rather take a pick (or shovel) on my shoulder and go out to work." There Is a lofty and independent flavor about this sentiment that causes it to bo received with approval. Without stopping to consider whether or not such a proceeding is practicable, the audience absorbs tho idea as something eminently correct and worthy of admiration. Ono thing in this connection Is overlooked, and that is that neither the p?rson who formulates tho scheme nor the persons who have heard it uttered have ever tried the thing itself. A pick is not an article of scientific appearance, but Fhould any inexperienced individual undertake the manipulation of one. he will make a number of discoveries. Five minutes of swinging a pick will make a pair of twentypound dumbbells appear Insignificant, and the handling of thern child's play. Aside from tho actual inability of one unaccustomed to handling the instrument to do any serious amount of work with it, there are the after effects, sore hands, stiff joints, disabled muscles, and an unconquerable desire the next day to refrain from exertion. The shovel is worse than the pick. In the first burst of enthusiasm it can be operated somewhat longer, perhaps, without panting and getting short-winded, but tho next day there is the same feeling of foriornness, the same disabled hands, tho same stiff joints, the Bame rigid muscles, and in addition a back whlcn cannot be made to assume the perpendicular without great etfort and some pain. The theory of going out to work with pick or shovel is beautiful and high-sounding, but the practical application is another atialr altogether. Eesid.es, there is an additional item in the matter which has eluded the observation of the shovel or pick bearer. Work, even for experienced hands, is not always to be found. There are hundreds, probably thousands, of men, expert in the use of the shovel or pick, seeking work unavaillngly. What chance would one who knows nothing about such work have to display his Ignorance and incapacity? A manly and proper independence is a fire thing, but the shovel business should not be entered into lightly. It should be approached with caution and examined with intelligence. Only strong and abie-bod'.ed men should prank with the pick or shovel. Unless you arc fit for hard work, shy at these Implements. Picking and shoveling are honorable and necessary avocations, but as a mean3 of demonstrating independence, unless accompanied by phvslcal ability, they should be avoided. Make duo study of the proposition, weigh the chances of success, and having fully mastered the situation unless you are strong and healthy don't try it. Let It alone. Probable Doable Murder. BOSTON.

TESTING DLOOD If Oil GERMS. Interesting: Experiments at a Ileoltl Department Laboratory. New York Press. Drops of blood dried on the slide of r. microscope are belnj? received dally at th laboratory of the health department ii Kast Sixteenth street. The blood U Iron the finger tips of persons supposed to havv typhoid fever. Tho purpose is to put ti practical use a recent medical discover which has already taken rank with th great discoveries of the science of medicine It has b.?en only a few weeks since Pfeiffer and Widal, German physicians, discovered that the blood of persona suffering from typhoid fever, when mixed with recent cultures of the bacill of typhoil fever, has tho power of arresting the motion of those rod-like organisms and causing them to gather together into little clumps When the blood of a person not suHerinH from typhoid fever, no matter if he be suffering from some other disease, be dropped into a culture of typhoid bacilli their motion is not arrested. They go right on wriggling as if nothing had happened. Nor Is tho motion of the bacilli of other diseases arrested wherOhe blood of a typhoid fever paient is dropped among them. Thus is furnished a mean of determining wtihout doubt whether or not a perBon has typhoid fever. The importance of this can be realized only when it is considered that in the early stages of typhoid fever the physician is often at a loss to diagnose It positively. Mild cases of typhoid fever are likely to be mistaken for somo other form of fever, and the treatment may go on under a wrong discovery. The only question about the discovery is at how early a stage ol the dlseo-se the blood will give the reaction. The board cf health has issued a1 circular to physicians asking them to avail themselves of the discovery and at the same time assist in determining how early in the course of the disease tho test can be relied upon. The circular asks physicians to send in drops of the blood of their patients at the moment they suspect typhoid fever. Full details are asked for and all the data bre kept at the laboratory. So we soon shall know something more of th discoveryA reporter was present yesterday when a test was made. The patient was a young woman whose home is uptown. Her physician had diagnosed the case as one of typhoid fever, but he was not sure. He cleansed the tip of one of the patlent'H fingers. Then with a clean needle he pricked the skin until drops of blood oozed out. A drop was allowed to fall on each end of the sUde of a microscope. The slide was set in a protected place until the blood had dried, for Widal and another medical authority, Johnston, have discovered that dried blood Is as good for the test as fresh blood. The slide was then taken to the laboratory, where a bespectacled man of science, who had spent most of his life chasing bacteria, received it. He took it to his microscope and brought out a test tube in which was a fresh culture of the bacillus of tj-phold fever. He took a drop of the culture and put it on the middle of the slide, between the dried drops of blood. He looked into the microscope and saw tho little rods which are the cause of all the trouble In typhoid fever wriggling around as if hunting an empty stomach. Then he dropped some distilled water on one of the drops of blood to-moisten it, and when It was moistened he dropped aor-. of the blood into the drop of tho culture. The little wriggling creatures knew something was wrong the instant the blood touched them. They stopped wriggling, and whenever one touched nnother bacillus ho clung to him for dear life. From pairs they grew Into trios and from trios into quartets and quintets. At last all motion was gone, and the rods were stuck together in little clumps. "Typhoid fever, sure," said the bespectacled scientist. The result of the test was mailed to the physician in the case, and to-day he will go on with the treatment for typhoid fever. The discovery already ha3 been of great valuo to one of the suburbs of this city. A peculiar form of fever brcke out there a little while ago. Some doctors said it was typhoid fever, some said it was malarial fever, some said it was some other kind of fever. The local Board of Health declared it was not typhoid fever. They said that they had their town in a lirst-class sanitary condition, and that therefore there could be no typhoid fever. But tho doctors who had said it was ty phoid fever were not going to have their reputations blasted by any one-horse Board of Health. So they got somo slides for the microscope, and went anound pricking the tips of the fingers of tne sufferers. The samples of blood were sent to the laboratory on Kast Sixteenth street and there tested. Tho .bacilli in every instance were put to sleep. Now tho Board of Health of the town in question Is reforming the water department. They say the trcuole must be there. A curious thing about the discovery is that the blood of a person who has had typhoid fever and recovered will give the peculiar reaction. Instances are known of the reaction being obtained with the blood of a person who had had typhcld fever three years before the time of the expe.1mont. The tests made up to date at the laboratory leave no doubt that tho reaction will always be obtained from the blood of a typhoid-fever patient who has been ailing for three weeks. How much earlier In the progress of the disease the reaction can be obtained remains to Lo determined. THE NAUTICAL. TELEMETER. Nctt 3Iarlne Instrument Find a Ship's Position Quickly and Accurately. Boston Transcript. A new maripe Instrument which Is attracting a good deal of attention among nautical people Is the Lowry-iiowyer telemeter, or distance finder, an instrument J which, as the name implies, la used for nnaing tne positions ana uisiance 01 a vessel from any fixed object, or from a point of latitude or longitude. This could, of course, be done before the Invention of this Instrument by sights from the fixed object, or by navigation from the point of latitude and longitude, but the telemeter doos botn of these things almost instantly, doe them by optical demonstration instead of calculation, and does them with Tar greater accuracy than can be obtained by either method. The telemeter is an Invention of two United States naval oillcers, Lieuts. Oswin B. Lowry and J. M. Bowj-cr, and while it is new In a certain sense, it is old in another, as it was Invented by them as long ago as 1SS7, when they were on a cruiso in the Sea of Japan. Their invention was. however, in a very crude form, and they did not do much with It until a short time ago. when the Lowry Manufacturing Company was formed, and la now making the instruments in this city, having brought them to a state of perfection. They are now in use on the ships of the North Atlantic Bquad.-on, of the revenue marine, of the French, American, International. Portland and many other Large lines of steamers, as well as on numerous merchant vessels, and have been found indispensable by them. The prlnclplo of the Instrument is that It shows by optical demonstration the movement cf the ship, and its relation to an7 point or object. It will demonstrate la an Instant any problem In triangulation, which is the bals of every kind of navigation. Llko almost all valuable inventions it is so simple that one wonders why It was not Invented long before It was. It consists of a base of about two feet long, on which aro placed two small disks, one sliding la

On each of the disks is an arm eighteen Inches long, which can be moved In any direction parallel .h the plane of the base. The arm e bides .of the groove aro divided in .nes, and with them of course a t: .e of any desired shape may be formed .. ,ih all its sides fo divided. The disks on which the arms are pivoted are divided up into points and quarter points of tho corrnass, and also Into degress. At tho point on which each arm is attached to tho disk, and on the end of each arm is a delicate sight, and when these two are brought to bear on an object Its bearing from the ship is Indicated by tho point on which the arm rests on the disk. In getting a ship's position from an object on the shore u sight is first taken from tho fixed disk, and the arm is then fastened in position with a clamp on the top of the disk. A short distance three) miles for Instance Is then logged off, and tho movable disk is slid along the groove, which has been laid In the same direction as tho ship's course, for three inches, an inch to a mile being the scale ordinarily used, although for other problems any seal can be used by simply multiplying or dividing. Another sight Is then tanen over the arm on the sliding-disk, and this arm and disk are clamped, and the whole problem is before the navigator. The two arms will, of course, crcs each other, and the point of intersection represents the object. The distance marked off by the intersection on the iirst arm represents the distance of the vessel ffcen the object ;it th time of the first sight, the distance marked on the second arm represents the distance of the vessel from the object at the time of the second sight, and 'the distance marked or. the edge of the groove represents the distance sailed by the vessel. The whole thing is done simply by two sights ajid tho All tMnlniv A ..- n . . cm m 1 f fitdfillti A A 1.1 onstrated to tho eye without the possibility of an error, always brought in by the necessity of figuring and measuring witti dividers. An even more Important use of the. instrument is in determining where a vessel will pass on a given courFe In relation to eny object. Suppose a. captain in running up toward a pointand wishes to know how far off shore he will pass if he holds his course. He sights with the arm on th fixed disk on some prominent object on the end of the point, and then finds his distance from the point on this sight to be nine miles by the method already described. He then sets tho arm on the movable disk at right angles to the groove, and slides the disk along until the second arm intersects the first at the nine-Inch mark. The distance marked off on the second arm will then be exactly the distance which his vessel will pass off Fhore. This calculation is of great importance, ns It enables a captain to know to a tenth of a mile whero he is going long before he gets there. Tho possibility cf placing a vessel's position exactly might be of great Importance in international complications. Take a case which happened last winter to one of tho Boston Fruit Company's steamers, which, whllo coming around the ctit of Cuba on her way from Jamaica, was held up by a Spanish gunboat. If the captain had had a telemeter on board he could have determined whether or not he was tnUle of the three-mile limit between the time that the vrunboat signaled him to stop r.nd the time when sho llred the first gun, and could have gone ahead with a perfectly clear knowledge of his rights. These instruments would also be of gn-at value to the American fishermen to determine whether or not thev were within the threemilo limit, and miirttt save them many arrest.", by the Canadian government. The way in which dead reckoning is worked out by the telemeter Is slightly different from the manner of determining distance by sights, although It is on exactly the same principle. The base of the instrument instead of beinj placed on a lino with tho course of the vessel is placed east and west, and the arm on the fixed disk Is placed on a line with her course. The arm on the movable disk is then clamped at right angles to the groove, and slid along until it intersect the other arm at the distance run by the vessel In a day. The point at which the first arm is pivoted then represents the position of th vessel at the sight of the day before, find the point of Intersection of the two arms is her present position by dead reckoning. The distance marked off on the groove Is the easting or westing which the ves.v?l has made, and the distance marked on the second -arm la the northing or southing which she has made. Iu working out a problem of this kind the scale of an Inch to a mile cannot, be used, as the instrument is not large enough to record a full day's run. Put if tho vessel ha run TjiO miles threo inches are marked off, and the result are multiplied by 100. Nonpnrttsnn XV. C. T. V. WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. The Nations! Nonpartisan W. C. T.
