The New Cure for Diphtheria.
The results of the experiments of the
New York Health Department with the
anti- toxine method of treating diph-
theria are most encouraging. There
are few infectious diseases, especially
‘ among children, that battle medical
treatment more stubbornly after a cer-
tain stage, than this scourge, and if
this remedy proves to be what is prom-
ised for it by its distinguished author,
Dr. Koch of Berlin, it will be one of
the most important medical discoveries
of recent times. Out of about 250
cases treated by the local Health Board
by the anti-toxine method 100 per cent.
recovered where inoculation took place
on the first day and 97 and 87 per cent.
respectively where it occurred on the
second and third days. One of the
signal features of this new treatment is
said to be its totally harmless charac-
ter. No ma ‘ter what the condition of
the patient, if the remedy does not ac-
complish a cure it at least leaves no in-
jurious effects behind.

The Women Must Wait.
The Constitutional Convention of the
State of New York, by a vote of 07 to
58, has agreed to an adverse report up-
on the proposition looking to the sub-
mission to the people of an amend-
ment extending the suffrage to women.
This may not end the agitation on
the subject, but it ends any present
hope of success.
The fight for woman suffrage in New
York has been made with extraordi-
nary energy, and while its friends got
no further than to propose a popular
vote as to whether a woman suffrage
amendment should be submitted to the
people at a future time, even this con-
cession has been deliberately votede
down. The result Was anticipated and
it is not necessary to discuss the rea-
sons for it.
It must be obvious, whatever any
one’s theoretical ideas on the subject
may be, thit the present is not a favor-
able time for an extension of the suf-
frage in any of our states. The great-
est- dangers now recognized by all are
such as result from the very large pro-
portion of ignorant voters in nearly
every American community, and those
who have the security of the state at
heart may well he.- i. ate to enlarge the
body of ignorant voters, even though
some addition to the number of intelli-
gent voters might be made at the same
time.
The educated Women who claim'that
they would make a better use of the
franchise than the mass of uneducated
men are undoubtedly right. It is be-
fore the large preponderance of unedu-
cated women that the New York con-
vent-ion has made pause. Woman suf-
' frage may come in the future, but it
will be only when those already pos-
sessed of the suffrage are convinced
that its extension will promote the well-
being of the state, and that time evi-
dently has not yet arrived.
At present the country is suffering
from too much voting.
Should be Cowhided.
An impecuuious English adventurer
named Robert Peel, whom it would be
charitable to designate as a snob, is
now in New York claiming the hand of
a Miss Sanford, of Bridgeport, and pa-
ilding her letters in bar rooms and
other congenial places of resort. He
seems to believe that his chief claim to
social recognition in this country is in
his boast that he was for some time the
favorite of Mrs. Langtry and was able
to detach her from Mr. Gebhard.
Miss Sanford, like many other silly
school girls, when abroad was charmed
by the grandson of a notable English
character and was weak enough to cor-
respond with him and possibly to give
him an engagement of marriage. As
soon as her friends discovered that she
had as an intimate acquaintance the
spendthrift son of an impoverished
father, who could not pay his wash-
woman unless he borrowed or beat
someone out of the money, they brought
the young lady home. He has followed
her to this country and is parading him-
self in the saloons and other public
places of New York, and tells the story
of his engagement to the young lady
and her'willingness to marry him if
her friends permitted.
"There is only one way to treat such
antinsolent adventurer who parades a
lady’s correspondence and boasts that
he w1_ll not surrender the letters unless
it be in the presence of herself and her
friends, and that is for some friend of
Miss Sanford in particular, and decent
ladies in general, to take him by the
scuff of the neck and administer to
him a good horsewhipping. That is
the only argument that' 13 likely to be
persuasive with the degenerate grand-
son of Robert Peel, once Premier of
England. Try the horse whip and end
the scandal.

,WAsmNGTON, Aug. 31.41%. A.’A11thony
of E. &. H. ’1‘. Anthony, manufacturers
of New York, and James R. Davies, rep-
resenting the drug and chemical trade of
New. York, were at the treasury depart-
ment today in the interest of a proper in-
terpretation and execution of section 61
of the new tariff act. exempting from in-
ternal revenue tax alcohol used in the
arts. Mr. Anthony in an interview with
Commissioner Miller recalled the fact that
alcohol and other are two of the principal
raw materials in the manufacture of col-
lodion, extensively used for photographic
purposes. Consequently paper coated with
collodion emulsion, though superior to
other kinds, cannot be made as cheaply as
other papers by reason of the tax of about
400 per cent now imposed above the cost
of manufacture. No other article of com-
merce, it is asserted, is taxed so heavily,
and therefore the claim is made that a
gross injustice is being done this branch
of trade. Mr. Davies con tended that this
unjust discrimination in tax against man-
ufactures of chemicals had worked infin-
ite harm to that trade, and both he and
Mr. Anthony suggested to the commis-
sioner that probably the best way to pre-
vent frauds bcing perpetrated by small
irresponsible druggists who would take
advantage of the law to put upon the
market vast quantities of so called medi-
cal preparations, which, in few, would be
nothing but adulterated low grade whis-
ky, would be to require all articles in
which free alcohol was used to be manu-
factured in bonded warehouses under gov-
ernment supervision. Commissioner Miller
explained that the department is now care-
fully investigating the question - as to
Whether efiactlve regulations can be pro-
parcd that will regulate the operation of
the law so as to prevent innumerable
frauds upon the government. The whole
question would likely be settled within
the next few days.
Secretary Carlisle has issued a circular
to all collectors of custmns calling atten-
tion to paragraph 605 of the new tariff
act, which admits salt- free of duty, but
provides that the coverings in which 1111-
ported shall pay the same rate of duty as
if imported separately, and, further, “that
if salt is imported from any country,
whether independent or a dependency,
which imposes a duty upon salt exported
from the United States, than there shall
be levied, paid and collected upon such
salt the rate of duty existing prior to the
passage-of this act.”
The secretary furnishes alist of such
countries which impose a duty on salt,
and therefore salt imported into the Unit-
ed States from these countries will pay
the duty of 8 cents per 100 pounds.

Flax Gr owing 1n Silesia and Runs-in.
Wasmxcrox, Aug. til—Frederick Opp,
United States consul at Breslau, Germa-
ny, has sent to the state department a
short report upon flax culture in Silesia.
The prices of flux have been good up to
this year, when it became known that
there were large harvests in Russia, and
this caused a falling off. He says that
hard labor necessarily enters largely into
flax growing, and only small farmers en-
gage in it. as the large farmers Who here-
tofore did a great deal in this line have
found more profit in sugar beets. In Rus—
sia labor is very cheap, and that country
is now becoming a. formidable rival of
Germany in the production of flax.

eMLARK TWAIN’S APOLOGY.‘
Urged, by His Wife He Proved to Mrs.
Stowe That He Had a. Collar.
by a Hartford man to a Washington Star
reporter the other night. It may not be
entirely new to every one, but even if it
isn’t, it is good enough to bear repeti—
tion.
One beautiful summer morning a few
years ago, Ma1k wandei ed out before
breakfast, unconventionally attired in a.
smoking jacket and slippers and un-
adorned with either collar or necktie. The
humorist is proverbially careless as to his
dress, and if it were not for his faithful
wife would be as likely as not to appear
in public' in this garb most of the time.
. A few doors from Mr. Clemens’ s house
lives'the aged authoress of “Uncle Tom’s
Cabin.” 011 this particular morning as
Mark strolled byl Mrs. Stowe’ s residence,
he espied the old lady seated upon the
veranda. He pushed open the gate, walk-
ed in and made a. very enjoyable quarter
of an hour’s call. Then he lounged back
to breakfast.
During the progress of the meal he
casually alluded to his call upon Mrs.
Stowe.
“You don’ t mean to say that you went
into Mrs. Stowe’ 8 house' in that condition,
do you?” ejaculated his despairing
wife.
1 “What condition?” asked Mark blank-
y.
“V‘v’liy, wit“ mut any collar or necktie.
What will Mrs. Stowe think of you?
You’ll have to go over and apologize to
her just as soon as you can make your-
self presentablc. ”
“All right, my dear,” said the crestfal—
lcn humorist, meekly, “but I don’t think
she noticed anything out of the way. She
didn’t speak of it.”
A few moments later, breakfast having
been finished. Mark disappeared in the di-
rection of the dressing room, and shortly
afterward despatched one of his children
upon some mysterious errand in which a.
small pa: cel played a part.
The child presently returned bearing a.
note, which Mark, after reading, carried
in triumph to his wife.
“It’s all right, my dear,” he said, refer-
ring to the note. “Mrs. Stowe said she is
always glad to see me, even without the
customary neckwear, and begs me not to
mention the circumstance.”
“W'hat have you done now?” queried
Mrs. Clemens in a tone of hopeless resig-
nation. '
“Why,” drawled out the humorist, “I
sent my collar and necktie over to Mrs.
Stowe, so that she would know that I
really owned them. You. may rest as-
sured now, my dear, that it’s all right.
She is satisfied, I am sure, that I do have
collars and neckties about the house
somewhere.”
Another Charge Against Tobacco.
Those annoying and unaccountable
lapses of memory experienced when one is
unable to recollect some well-known
words or the name of some perfectly fam-
iliar friend are attributed by a. French
physiologist to the excessive use of tobac-
co. This gentleman has observed that
aphasia and amnesia are at present al-
most unknown among the gentler sex.
0n the other hand, he has nearly invaria-
bly found these afflictions common in
men who are habitually heavy smokers,
while in cases where they are only of rare
occurrence he has frequently known the
extraordinary lapse to have been preced-
ed by an extra dose of the fragrant weed.
It is comforting, however, to be assured
by the same authority that a moderate
use of pipe or ciga1 is in no way harmful
to the memory. —-The Westminster Ga-
zette.
Remarkable English Thrift.
There is, a. story told of an English
~ squire who, on his way home one night,
dropped by accident down the window
sash a. shilling (which he held loosely in
his hand ready for a. certain toll-gate).
Arrived home, he gave his coachman in-
structions to recover the lost shilling, and
if he could not do this himself he must
call in the aid of the carpenter. The next
day, while sitting with his family at
luncheon, the shilling was brought in
from the stables. The country squire
made pleasant triumph of his thriftiness,
but his countenance fell some few weeks
later when the carpenter’s bill displayed
the detail: “For removing carriage win-
dow,etc., and getting out shilling dropped,
5 shillings.”
Sarah Orne chett Described.
Of. Miss Sarah Orne J ewett, whose Arn-
erican blood is mixed of French and En-
glish, Mrs. Spoil'ord says in “The Book-
Buyer”; “When you see her with her
lofty carriage, her dark eyes, her high-
bred and beautiful features, you remem-
ber the royal significance of her name in
Scripture, and you are half inclined to
wonder how it is that a princess of the old
regime is writing stories that are the ac-
curate transcript of the lives of peasants.
But when, if by rare fortune, you hear
her read from her own pages, with avoice
like a. soft south wind, and with a quaint
and lovely air that is all her own, then
you know that these stories of hers are
written from the heart that beats for
humbler, homelier people as if with the
same blood.”

Last August, just a year ago,
You wore red poppies in your hair
That night at Brown‘s; I called you fair,
And you were pleased I thought you so.
The music, throbbing soft and low,
Seemed filled with joy—or was it woe?
I could not tell, for you were there—
Yes, people change.

The wedding march pcals softly 510
