WILL POSSIBLY'S’UPERS‘EDE SERUM.- Is Based Upon the' Presence '0! a Class of Ferments Known as Enzymes Produced by Dis- ease Bacteria. \VASHINGTON, June 29.—Dr. Oscar Loew, one of the expert vegetable pathol- ogists of the agricultural department, has developed to what he believes is a point of practical use a new treatment for germ diseases which promises to super- sede the serum treatment now in use in diphtheria, "fevers and many other dis- "eases. Dr. Loew’s work has been carried on for several years in collaboration with Dr. R. Emmerich. The experiments have been conducted in the laboratories of Munich and this country. The results never have been published in full, but have been such as to warrant introducing the treatment into actual hospital prac- tice. The treatment is similar in some re- spects to the serum treatment, but de- gends on a different principle, the basic .lea being the presence of a class of fer- ments known as enzymes, which are pro- duced by the same bacteria that produce, the disease. It is because of the produc- tion, or rather overproduction, of a cer- tain enzyme that a disease such as ty- phoid will “run its course” and then die out of the system. The bacteria in this case, it is stated, are simply killed out by the ferment they produce. The gbjcct of the new treatment is to produce a pure enzyme which. introduced into the human system, will kill the dis This diders from the principle of inocu-‘ lation for smallpox and other diseases, where the Object is to give the patient a mild type of the disease to render him immune to the more virulent type. Dr. Loew and [his colleague, Dr. Em- merich, have studied and cultivated the enzymes of various diseases and, it is claimed, have found that the enzymes of certain bacteria will kill not only their parent germs, but also the germs of chol~ era, typhoid fever, antharax, diphtheria. black plague, staphlococci and probably gonococci. An é'iizyme that will be fatal to tuberculosis is being sought, though the bacillus of tuberculosis seems to be incapable of producing an enzyme that :is fatal to itself. . This is also true of the black plague, .and for this reason the serum 'of black plague was applied without success in the cases recently'devcloped in one of the laboratories in Vienna. ' $216113: enzyme are very unstable products an for this reason quickly deteriorate, but Dr. Loew believes he has found a method of preserving them in shape for use. The further development Of this ‘form of treatment is awaited with inter- est by scientists. ' Another Good Showing by Colnnrbin.

Thir- ty—two miles of the stretch was a beat to windward. with such a. stifi breeze blowing that neither yacht cared to carry a working topsail, and it was in this kind of work that Columbia gained such a long lead, averaging more than a quarter of a minute faster each .mile than the Defender.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 29.—Thc deputies have the situation in hand at Cardiff and .Blossburg, where the race riot occurred Tuesday, although the ne- gro miners refuse to work and continue to carry arms. Sheriff O’Brien says he has no right to disarm them, and, with few exceptions, they are prepared for any sort of trouble. An additional force of men has been placed on duty for fear of an outbreak during the night. A coroner’s jury held an inquest over the remains Of Ellis and Adam Samuels yesterday. The physicians” sworn testi- mony was to the effect that both negroes were” shot in the back. Ellis’ body was piereed by 25 buckshot, and- Samuels was killed with a rifle. The postmaster at Blossburg testified that shortly before the killing he heard Ellis talking to a crowd of his comrades in regard to a speech made to them by would disarm they would be given protec- tion. Ellis told them this was all a lie, and he declared he would not return to work until his Winchester had been emp- tied. The jury eame to a verdict that the negroes met death at the hands of an un- known mob or unknown parties. It is said among the negroesthat the white men who did the shooting were secreted on the railroad track near the dirt road. A physician testified that the shooting was done at close range. The coroner, just in from Blossburg, says it is impos- sible to get at the guilty parties. He says that both sides are sullen, and he predicts further trouble. 2 The mines have almost closed down for want of. laborers. BASEBALL SCORES. Results of Yesterday‘s Games In the National League.

It Takes 110.000 Pounds Every Du: to Keep Them Clean, Healthy _ and Presentuble. Every year Chicago uses up about 41,000,000 pounds Of soap. This is for all purposes, but does not include the various soap powders and other com- pounds which are sometimes used in its place. Each day, then, it takes in round numbers 110,000 pounds of soap to keep the city even as clean as it is. Estimating the population at 2,000,000, CHICAGO’S DAILY SOAP BAR. (Six Times as Large as the Late Lamented ' Jumbo.) these figures allOw 20 pounds of soap for all purposes to each inhabitant each year.

If all the soap used in a day in Chicago was brought together it would make a, bar 16 times as big as the late lamented Jumbo. —....~——..’.——————.- Mnslcul Well In Texas.
