. "I _., .,.-. Absolutely-Endepcndeni. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1894. The Daily Gazette, established in 1890 TheWeekly Gazette in 1800. A-~MilliOn a Year. Much has been written and said about advertisers and advertising, but it is perhaps not generally known that, not only is the greatest amount of adver- tising done in America, but the largest advertisers are Americans. Several houses, both in Europe and America, expend upwards of half a million dollars per year in advertising; but the" two advertisers referred to, have actually expended during the past year over a million dollars wholly in advertising. This vast sum of money has not been squandered, but has been carefully, judiciously," scientifically ex- ' pended, and it has paid a profit 'of fifty cents, and more, for every dollar ex- pended. Here is certainly a valuable lesson for those who advertise or have adver- tising in contemplation. Diphtheria Bacilll. Dr. W. H. Park has been employed for a year in studying the bacteriology of diphtheria for the Board of Health of the city of New York. The physi- cians of the city were asked to send him specimens of diphtheria bacilli, and 5,000 cases have"been reported to him. His conclusions are somewhat start- ling in several respects: To begin with, he finds that only 58 per cent. of the cases submitted to him were unmis. takably cases of diphtheria. Fifteen per cent. were doubtful, while the re- maining 27 per cent. were not cases of diphtheria. One inference from these figures is that true diphtheria is more dangerous than has been supposed, since nearly one-third of the cases on which the percentage of deaths has been reckoned prove to be really. milder diseases. .. Another thing that will surprise many persons is the conclusion that many healthy persons'i‘jhave the germs of the disease in their throats. On this point he says~z~~-“Bacilli sometimes live and develop; for weeks in the throats of healthy 'persons without causing les- ions.” Ten per cent. of healthy throats were found to contain virulent germs, while “streptococci and other socci are to be found in the throats of a great majority of healthy persons.” It, was also found that virulent bacilli persist for some time after the patient is thor- oughly cured. In about half of 605 cases, examined for this purpose, the bacilli disappeared after three days, but many remained for a week or more and in two cases virulent. germs were found for nine weeks. In connection with this it is interesting to note the result of experiments on the life of bacilli. Dr. Park kept a bacillus alive in blood serum for seven months, and kept a Loefiier bacillus, (that found in true diphtheria, ) for five months. He cites a case in Which the bacillus in geletine survived eighteen months, on a child’s plaything hidden in a dark closet. . ' Dr. Park’s general conclusion is that all inflammations of the mucous mem- brane due to Loefiiier bacilli should be classed as true diphtheria, and that all such inflammations, the bacilli'of which present the morphological and cultural characteristics of this one, should be classed as diphtheria, unless inoculation shows the contrary. He thinks that 80 . per cent. of the cases called croup are really diphtheria. On the whole, con- sidering the persistence of the bacillus and the imperfection of the isolation of cases he thinks the only wonder is that so few contract the disease. He sees no hope Of the extermination of diph- theria under present conditions, but hopes much from the anti-toxins treat- ment in the way of decreasing the rate of mortality. 00. Views on the Tariff. The Herald is engaged in‘ the very interesting and educational work .of obtaining and publishing the opinions of leading public men upon the effect the new democratic tariff is likely to have upon the business interests of the country. Among many others, ‘the Herald gives these opinions Of Con. necticut’s senior Senator, Platt, as fol- lows :— ' Orville H. Platt took his seat in the Senate in 1879, having been elected to fill the vacang caused by the death of W. H. Barnu , democrat, who, in turn had been, chosen to take the place made vacant by the death of Orris S. Ferry, republican. Senator Platt is sixty- seven. years of age, and was bornin Washington, Conn. He was a member of the State Legislature during the war, and‘ served as Speaker of the Con- necticut House of Representatives. When asked about the tariff, Mr. Platt said :— “It is my belief that there can be no substantial prosperity for our country under the tariff bill passed at the pres- ent session. The general object and effect of the bill is to so reduce duties that a largely increased quantity of products consumed by our people will be purchased. from abroad. < :Import- ation of articles which can be produced here means enforced idleness of our workmen. If goods consumed in this country are made abroad, the labor their production here would require will not be employed. “It is true that in a fewinstances able the business .pf production uncon- .tinue in: this ccuntry without ‘rserious embarrassment. These instances, how- 3. ever; exist only whére it became neces- . sary in order to secure the votes Of democratic Senators who desired to protect their friends. There are other instances in which duties have not been so seriously diminished but that b1181- ness can struggle on under embarrass- ments, not paying, however, the wages which have heretofore been paid. To continue business in such cases it Will be absolutely necessary to reduce ex. penses to the lowest possible pomt in order to compete withxforeign manu- facturers. This means lower wages or stOppage. But there are many branch- es of industry which, in my judgment, will be destroyed, for the-reason_that they cannot be continued even With a reduction of wages which under any, circumstances could be accepted by workmen. 3 “The anticipation of such a,law as has been passed has crippled busrness and deprived our workmen of labor ; and nothing in the present law war- rants the hope that under it the pros- perity which attended the McKinley law can be restored. ' 3 “.There may be some temporary im- provement, but a few months will suf- fice to bring back business again to its present dead and unprofitable level, Protective duties in this country are absolutely necessary to enable pro- ‘ducers to pay wages which will enable workmen to live as American citizens should live. Except in a few instances, duties have been reduced below the protective point. The loss and distress must fall largely upon labor.” To the above opinions may be fitting- ly appended, in full, one of the early tariff speeches of Abraham Lincoln, as reprinted by the Chicago Record : “He said he did not pretend to know much about the tariff, but he knew enough to know that when an American paid an English manufacturer $20 for steel, that the American had the steel and the Englishman had the $20 ; _but when he paid that $20 to an American manufacturer, America had both the steel and the 820,-" ' ——-QQD~ Believed to be Murder. Coroner Doten has been summoned to Stamford to investigate the death of Phoebe Baltimore, colored, whose mangled body was found lying be- side the track near Sound Beach Sunday. There are suspicions that she was murdered and the body placed on the tracks. Gussie Hadden, with whom she went to the beach on Saturday, is held on suspicion and tells conflicting stories. Tom and Jack Tyrell, mem- bers of the railroad gang at work on the four-tracking, were arrested, and in Jack’s possession was found a revol- ver which belonged to the dead woman. On the clothing of the Baltimore woman were found cuts which the authorities believe could not have. been made by an engine, and the supposition is that some. jealous person killed her and then placed the body where it was found._ 0. Couldn’t Make at Dicker. An intoxicated individual boarded the Danbury train at South Norwalk Sunday evening and when the con- ductor came around, discovered that he had lost his ticket. .He was going to Cannon Station. To the amuse- ment of the passengers” he offered to give the conductor a quart bottleof whiskey in lieu of his fare. The con- ductor evidently was not dry and the passenger walked home from South Wilton, if he got thereiat all that night. ——Danbury News. A Fell From a Hammock. Samuel M. Versoy, the heaviest in- mate at the Odd Fellows’ home was Sunday afternoon, seriously injured in a fall from a hammock.

Mr. Edwin Comstock of New 'Ca- naan Four Corners, has demonstrated what patient labor and waiting and high cultivation will accomplish in peach growing. Monday he marketed here, seventy-five baskets of Crawfords which for enormous size, beauty and luscious flavor, have never been ex- celled in this market. - The Corn Beetle. Town Collector William H. Bradley. of Westport, says a black hug or beetle is destroying growing corn. He cites a field of six acres owned by him much injured by the pests. The bug alights on the silk, bores through the husk, decends and has it his own way so long as any kernels remain on the cob. There is no known way of intercepting the visitor. -———<+ Pleasure Beach.

' Among the most important cases to, be tried is that of John Saunders, the Hungarian who was charged with at-- templing to kill the late Deputy Sheriff Frank Pike-of Fairfield.‘ Saunders and several others were engaged in a fight and the sheriff tried to arrest them. Saunders resisted and attempted to kill the officer. The prisoner was over- powered, ‘ but the struggle proved fatal to the sheriff who dropped dead of heart failure. .

Judge Downs rushed the cases through as rapidly as possible, for the purpose of reaching the Norwalk seizure case set down for trial Monday. Several of the cases were continued. The court then took a few moments recess, after which the seizure case was taken up. Lawyers Levi Warner and .Hurlbutt of Norwalk appeared for the plaintiffs and Col. Frost of Norwalk for the owner and captain of the oyster- boat “Rambler” of Norwalk. Lawyer Geo. E. Hill of the firm of Perry, Per- ry &. Hill of Bridgeport was also pres- ent. Col..Frost asked for an adjourn. ment of the case until next Tuesday, as Judge Perry of Bridgeport, who was also to appear for the defendant, was in Maine on a vacation and would not be back until next Monday. The case was continued until that day. The seizure case against John Jarvis, owner of the “Lily,” also of Norwalk, which was set down for trial next Mon- day, was continued until next Wednes- day. The boats Were seized for al-‘ lcged illegal dredging of oysters under. a special act which permits deputy sheriffs to seize boat-s alleged to be so engaged, and if it is found in any city court that these allegations are true, to sell the boat seized—Advocate. .0. Bridgeport Business College. —In all “standard” business colleges the-lectures constitute a very promi- nent feature of the course. Mr. Turner ‘early recognized the importance of this and has always retained on the lee- ture corps many of the best speakers in the country. Among local speakers who have appeared from time. to time before the students were the late P. T. Barnum, and D. M. Read, also U. S. Treasurer D. N. Morgan, Rev. Beverly Warner, Rev. B. G. S. McNeille, Rev.‘ Sylvester Clark, the late Rev. Father Synott, Judge L. M. Slade, etc. It is the policy of all progressive business educations to bring prominent men be- fore their students. This is the only school in this vicinity that furnishes the students with advantages cf the sort. The value of the lectures as a factor in education wil be readily dis- cerned by anyone who will take notice how eagerly they grasp the ideas and catch the enthusiasm of an able lectur- er, when if they had the same material complied in a text book and given them to learn and recite toa teacher, they would find it a burdensome task. A limited number of tickets are given to the students who are at liberty to invite their friends to these lectures. On some occassions the general public are invited, and extracts of the speeches published in local papers. * Grand Lodge K. of P.

An unusual patent suit has been be- gun in the United StatesCourt in New York inwhich thn‘Adel Near, a dealer in foreign fans and curios at Bridgeport, is the defendant. Some time ago he purchased a number of fans which had been sold for non-pay- ment of duties at a custom-house seiz- ure auction in Bridgeport.
