CALAMITY SENATORS AT WORK. The New York banks and the capi talists connected with them are loan ing $50,000,000 today in London which under ordinary circumstances would bo loaned in New York and this coun try. Bays the Philadelphia Press. The reason, and the only reason, why this sum is loaned abroad instead of at home i because the men who loan it know that the English parliament will not change the value of a proud sterling and no one wants to in Eng land or out of parliament. In this country these bankers know that a largo number of congressman and 6, 000,000 vot rs want to change the value of a dollar. lhi senate n no confide ing a resolution teporte fr m t e sei.ate finance committee pi 0 osing to reduce the value of the United Stages bonds one-half by p iying them in silver. This repudiation of half the righteous obli gation of a government bond has votes in the senate west and south. This halts property. No man will investor ought to in vest in regions where the value of bis investment will be halved if the voters in that region have their wav. The revival of trade is stopped point blank by proof and evidence of this view, and until this issue is settled nothing is safe or can be safe.

Another indication of the prosper ous business condition of the country in 1897 is shown by an examination of the railroad statistics for that year. The small number of railroad bank ruptcies of last year and the very remarkable progress made in the restoration of companies already in that position to a solvent basis, through reorganization, shows con clusively the improved condition of that branch of business. The bank ruptcy of eighteen companies with only 1,537 miles of road and an ag gregate capital of $92,800,000 in 1897 is in marked contrast with thirty-four roads in 1896 embracing 5,441 miles of main track and capital amounting to $275,597,100, and is but an incident as compared to 1893, when seventy-four roads were involved, rpres nting 29, 000 miles and the immense capital of $1,718,000,000. The fellows who are spoiling for a war with Spain and would like to an nex Cuba, but fight similar proposi tions looking toward the annexing of Hawaii, are delighted with the latest act of the government in sending battle ships to Havanu.i. Now if the Spanish Djns are anything but brag gaids, they will figh.', and the merry war will be on. Jf f.am me not ie?ent the insu.t to Lier dignity and allows Uncie Sam to have things his own way at Havanna, then, of course, no war will follow, and the fellows thirsting for gore, even at iong ranee, will be doomed to disappointment. Comptroller Dawes has been warmly commended by the press of the country over his order requiring bank examiners to refuse to do special services and receive special fees from the bank that they will be called upon in due course of business to examine and report upon. Bradstreet's says: "The conclusion at which the comp troller arrived is a sound one; there should be cn the part of the govern ment officials no suspicion of divided duty." A 3lOi:E sli..ue!u astf if time cou i t v. li b" d -v isi d if du ihttt of Cong! ifSu.eiJ wiio insist upuu deb t ing on the floor of the house the ques tion. Has prosperity come? remarks the Omaha Bee. If congress will do business a good example will be set for all the people,and even chronic po litical agitators may after a while be induced to go to work. Senator Mason is believed to fa vor the executive session style of de bate when the opposite side or the question is represented by a hotel clerk who has made a study of the manly art. THOSE burglars who looted Gray Gables and turned Grover's picture to the wall were probably determined to administer a rebuke to Wall street. A SOLID FRONT. The republican members of the house show a remarkably solid front on the Cuban question. Bays the Fre- mount Tribune. It has been said there was much dissatisfaction there on account of the alleged dilatory and pacific attitude of the president. Dut when the democrats and populists tried to force the country into war by hasty action the republicans stood like a stone wall to uphold the policy of the man iu the white house. Tbey have come to see that he ia acting with great foresight and diplomacy and that ho is moving quietly but Drmly in the direction of brioglng about wtiat every citizen wishes to see in Cuba the liberation of that un happy island from the tyranny of Spain. The president has congress behind him. In good time, freedom from the Cuban bights, will unfurl her banner to the air. What the president wishes to do is to bring this about without war. We are now paying 141 millions a year for pensions. It is a gre'tt deal easier to get into war than to get out. Wait. Some of these days something will happen at the White house that will settle Cuban destiny on the side of liberty. A GIVE AWAY. The debate in the house on the source of the general prosperity of the country seems to have been sprung by t lie popcmts, says the State Journal, und if it was, it is a very shortsighted move a political blunder. Tney are guiltv of constructive treason to the head of their party, Mr. Bryan, who wiser in his generation, refutes to be led into any such a give-away discus sion. He simply stands up and deaies that there is any prosperity. On the con trary he is prepared to prove,he says, that we are "wuss olf" than we ever were in the history of the country,and that there is no prosperity on this or any other continent outside of Mexico. And he has just come from Mexico to testify on his own affidavy. The Woman's club at Elgin, Ills., is certainly composed of an energetic lot of women. They have recently compU ted and fitted up a hospital in i. i to.vn ci.r-ti ng $30,100, and not a f ; ' - it--:: in-' i t. MiCO h . r z . ou e , .- of u fortunate ueiy hb s, and i nus to make women's clubs a sort of (amity comfort in every well regulated town. We very much doubt if another club in the whole country can show so proud a monument ol industry and intelligence as is shown by the lady members of the Elgin club. The gold reserve in the national t esi-ury is over $163,0(10,000 and no tx nds have been so.d either by the i.' i-i i v.- ta iff administration to ecp i' u( Tht- pop 'crai ic orators we e c -rtain t.'iat bonus wou.d have to be sold as soon as the election was over, and cow that thir prediction has proven false, the real value of popocratic opinion may be noted. The American war ship Maine rides peacefully in the harbor of Havanna, while the Spanish Dons at Madrid fume and swear in useless rage. The Spaniards are good on a biuff, but Uncle Sam having called them, they must bhow their hand, which appears to be quite empty. INFORMATION AND OPINIONS. The duties of Dr. McKinnon, as Bur lington physician at this point, have become so irksome that he has been forced to secure an assistant for the purpose of compiling the reports, says the Havelock correspondent in the Lincoln News. Wendell Foster is at tending to the reports and comes down from his home in Lincoln every even ing for that purpose. The total num ber of shop accidents which come un der the company's surgeon's care is now averaging fully fifty a month. The Burlington has inaugurated a through chair-car service cetween Chicago and Deadwood, S. D. The car comes into Lincoln on train No. 3 It is h'-re switched onto No. 41. Pas- -enurer boarding the train at Chicago for the Black Hill are thus enabled to make the entire trip, 1,142 miles, without change of cars. Secretary Gago is a business man and not an orator, but he gave the "weeping philosopher" as he denomi nates our Mr. Bryan, several severe jolts in his address to the traders' league in Philadelphia, night before last. Like Mr. Hanna, the secretary is demonstrating that a thinking man can talk some, if he has to, even if his life has been spent far from the platform. Ex. President Stilwell, of the Pitts burg & Gulf road, has invented an oyter car by which the bivalve may be conveyed from its native heath to our several stomachs while in as lively a, :-t ate as when he rears his family iu the dark blue waters of the gulf, say the Om ha Trade Exhibit. The car is water tight, and with each oyster is scooped up a few barrels of sea water, so that the oyster labors under the impression that he is still at home, even after the death knell of the butcher's trade mark is fastened upon him. It is said that under this arrangement tfrjpyster is as fresh when caught from the car as when taken from the briny deep. The new invention will be received with un concealed joy by the lovers of this particular diet, as the oyster is never so heartily relished after he has laid in state at the market place for weeks at a time, or been swished about in tin cans for an indefinite period. Jackson, Mich., claims the distinc tion of having as a resident the oldest pensioner of the war of the rebellion. The maa is Cornelius Do Vancey, who was born in County Donegal, Ireland, in February, 1796, and 1b consequently almost 102 years of ago. Mr. De Vancey came to America fifty yearB ago and resided in Philadelphia until some two years ago. Ho enlisted in the Sixth Pennsylvania cavalry Sep tember 5, 1861, on the strength of a physician's certificate showing his age to be forty-five, nis wife a few mon ths later secured his discharge by pro-! ducing evidence that his ago was sixty-three and not forty-five. He was not satisfied, however, and on September o, 1862, enlisted in the Thirteenth Pennsylvania cavalry and served in the Army of the Tennessee. lie participated in a number oi tne most prominent engagements and was twice wounded. He was honorably discharged on February 15, 1864. In an attempt to escape f om a burn ing building at Spokane, Wash., Mon day, Mrs. H. G. Davies of Nebraska City received injuries from which the died. Eight other lives were lost in the fire. A party of men and boys charivai ied a fellow by the name of Gilmore at Glen, Neo., the night after his wed ding. The fun which the party was enjoying at his expense did not tet very well, so he took down his trusty bhot gun and emptied the contents into the party, killing Jams Miller. The coroner's jury found Gnmoie guilty of firing the shot with felonious intent. As a result of the young swain's wrath, the honeymoon will be cut very short. For some time there has been rumors in San Francisco that ex Mayor Sutro's mind was failing and that a guardian would soon ""ha veto be appointed for him. He sees no one, and a nurse is with him con stantly. Tne doctors have warned his relatives that he must have absolute rest or he will die. Mr. Sutro's pi-od-erty interests aro very large, and un less he improves soon some legal manager of his estate will have to be appointed. His estate is valued at $2,000,000. The Fulton b oodhounds have done so Miuch vo"d rful work in the way of t hc ing crimina.s to their .air ttiai their fame is wid -sp ead, and the au thorities of Lincoln are talking of buying bloodhounds as a permanent adjunct to the police force, says the Beatrice Express. Before doing any thing rash they should emembi r that dogs like the Fulton hounds are not picked up every day, and even where dogs of a fine breeding are se cured, it is not always possible to se cure a man who can train them prop ei ly. The training of the Fulton dogs has taken no end of care and toil, and it will be a long time before Nebraska sees their equals. It is said that ex-Governor James E. Campbell of Ohio, who was in the naval service during the war and was for a time disabled through the ex plosion of a shell, applied for a pen sion, which for some reason was de layed, and when it was finally allowed he hod so far recovered that he de clined to receive it, although the sum accumulated was large, on the ground that he had recovered his health and and was not entitled to it. 1 he amount of business transacted in this country for the first twenty days in January, as reported by R. G. Dun's agency of New York, was greater by over 10 per cent than it was for the same time of the year in 1892, and 38 per cent gre iter than in the corresponding period of last year. Ex-Governor Morrill of Kansas once said that his ambition was to create in Kansas the largest orchard in the world and have it as a monument to his memory. That hope is about to be realized, as he has turned his farm over to a man with the stipulation that 65,000 fruit trees, mostly apples, are to be planted there. When" a girl has pinned a flower on r man's coat she always tilts her chin up and looks at it sideways. Neligh claims to have the present cattie king of the state in the person of C. J. Anderson who has purchased 25,000 head of cattle. His present in vestment in stock represents the sum of $175,000. The following touching reference is made by Walt Mason, of his brother, editor of the Beatrice Democrat,which indicates a cordial under standing be tween them: 'G. P. Marvin has se cured a permanent and remuner ative situation at Fishback's chicken house, and will report for duty as soon as released from the postoffice. His work will be to pull the feathers from cnickeus, during the daytime, and he will probably spend his nights gathering chickens on his own ccount. We are are in deed gld that he will have usful and honorable employment which will enable him to amass a competence for his old age." Courting a girl, says an exchange, is like starting a newspaper. It starts out weekly, then becomes a tri weekly, then emerges into a daily, and if it has any enterprise, comes out with an extra edition about once a year. n. M. Bushnell'9 confirmation in the senate as postmaster at Lincoln comes on very slowly another week's delay having occurred on account of Allen claiming protests were on file that ought to be examined. Bush will be postmaster in the gentle springtime, acyway, in spite of ob jections. ' DANGER IN A SHAKE. k LEARNED DISQUISITION ON DIS EASE TRANSFER. Microbes of Every Kind Find Lodfmcnt In the Skin Contact Even of the Clean ly Hay Spread Contagion Serioua Re sult From Hand Clasping-. Is it possible for one man to commu nicate disease to another by the shaking of hands? If this question bo true, should the custom be abandoned or should it be modified under medical instruction bo as to minimize the danger? . The existence of micro-organisms inimical to life and health has been es tablished beyond dispute. Dr. Breiter founds his thesis, recently printed in The Medical Record, on this hypothe sis. But his leading point, insisted up on with much force, is the danger which is hidden in the apparently harmless and sometimes pleasing custom of shak ing hands. He says: "That the surface of the human body is a very hotbed for the propagation of a great variety of micro-organisms Fuerbinger, Mittman, Bizzozero, Ma giora and Welch have elucidated most conclusively. It is certainly beyond the shadow of a doubt that in the presence of a predisposing factor and sometimes even without that the microbio diseases are ushered into existence by their indi vidual prototypes, this being essentially brought about by contact in some way of the two contingent forces. Modern surgery is founded on this principle. The carefulness with which we prepare our hands and surgical instruments be fore and after a surgical operation well exemplifies the importance of a famil iarity with its dangers in every sense. "We recognize that many of our mi crobio diseases, especially of the exan thematic type, eliminate their toxic ele ment very largely through the medium of the 6kin, which undergoes extensive exfoliation, disseminating the poison far and wide. Isolation is resorted to and enforced most rigorously, thereby check ing the spread of the disease, and then disinfectants lavishly used cause the de struction of the offending armies. In the era of scientifio prophylaxis conse quent upon the introduction of the mi croscope, bacteriology and antiseptics we find a steady decline of epidemics either developing in the outer world or in our hospital wards. Yet accidental inoculations of tuberculosis, smallpox and vaccinia, as well as more horrible diseases, still exist and are but demon strations of either an unavoidable cause or a faulty observance of established data." Dr. Breiter gives a thorough discus sion as to what may be the result of con tact of the hands. He declares that with men who are of cleanly habits, but who have acquired disease and such as they would wish to hide from their fellow men, the specifio bacillus of this disease has been found in filth collected from the hand. He has found tuberole bacilli in the dirt taken from the hand of the man suffering from tuberculosis, the Klebs-Loeffler microbe among cases of suspected diphtheria and had no doubt that the specific germs of every microbic disease may and would be found in mil lions on the surfaces of the hands if proper experimentation were made. He proceeds as follows : "Many victims of scarlet fever, both in the early and desquamative stages, especially the latter, are walking the 6treets of every large city ready to in graft upon the moist hand of any chance acquaintance the prolific virus of the disease. The same may be said of per sons with pulmonary tuberculosis, whose hands and handkerchiefs, through constant wiping of the mouth, are foul and saturated with the bacteria laden expectoration of the disease. Tubercu losis of the hand, the lesion large or small in area, often painless and un recognized as such for a long while and perhaps untreated, is by no means an infrequent occurrence. Scabies, we know, has a marked predilection for the hand. Need I mention others? Now whether these conditions are the result of hand to hand contact or not does not matter. The conditions themselves are dangerous elements, and it is the con sideration of such factors in the causa tion of disease that we are studying. "Of course the mucous membrane serves as a better pabulum for the inva sion and development of micro organ isms, but the skin is not absolutely neg ative in that respect, and if it were it would make little difference, as the two, skin and mucous membrane, are very often in close apposition with each other. We know that the hand has car ried bacteria to the mouth, disseminat ing contagion in that way. Typhoid fe ver, Asiatic cholera, diphtheria and oth er diseases are known to have been pro duced that way. Why search through medical libraries for similar and per haps more conclusive evidence? The Bubject has passed the stage of novelty. So while we professional people are by reason of our profession forced to invite and then to battle for we have antisep tics with these enemies, there is no reason why we should unnecessarily and under the cloak of custom invite them and then leave them to do their harm. "Some may look upon this subject with derision. Nevertheless the truth is this: No matter how small the percent age of evil consequences arising from this universal handshaking, the total number, in view of its extensiveness, must necessarily be great. The subject is deserving of serious consideration. Conscientious physicians and surgeons will accord it." Freddy's Fear. They pass a plate of cakes to Freddy at dessert. He puts out his hand, hesi tates, then draws it back and begins to weep. " What are you crying for?" asks his mother. "Because you are going to scold me when I choose the biggest one." Fi garo. Persons intending to go to the Klon dike gold fields should take note of the condition of things on the trans portation routes between San Fran cisco or Seattle and Alaskan ports. All the steamers are crowded, all their passenger space is engaged for months ahead and there is great dan ger that the gold seekers will be left at the railroad termini simply be cause there is no room for them on vessels. They should make certain that they will have transportation all the way before they make the first start. ONCE THEY WERE MEDIUMS. Now They Expiate Their Sins by Tcxmlng Italls of Itlne Fire. Close by the Northwestern tracks at Leavitt street is the homo of the "jug gling sisters. " They were twin presti digitators in their days of life, so runs the tradition, and now they toss balls of blue fire about as the juggler does eggs, cannon balls and the like. Their pet amusement is to stand ou their heads and toss the balls as if they were standing afoot. The force of gravity seems to be reversed for their benefit, for they "toss" the balls of fire down, and the little flames "full" up. All this , ia set down just as James MacCourtney, the oldest settler in the neighborhood, tens it. lie saiu tne otner aay: "Them broad windys over there on the north side of the old building is the place where the Bisters comes to show theirselves. The year of the World's fair I counted up their performances, an they come every 56 days. The reason fer that is somethin I could never guess, but some smart young chap here fig gered out that it was always in the dark of the moon. I've noticed since that there never was no moonlight when they got up there in the windys. "What's the cause of their hauntin the old place? Why, eir, the story's so old there can't no truth nor lie be made out on it. There's no man in these dig gin's longer'n I be, an I ken the story only by hearsay, so to speak. I heerd it from my granddaddy, an he said he heeyl it when he was a young man comin here. That mus' 'a' ben in the thirties. Onnyways he sed that the two sisters was persdiditaters. It seems like they give a performance in the house, which was new then in course, an the pair of them agreed ter be locked up in a box thet was to be sealed an fastened, an then they was to get out without break in the seals. Well, they was locked up, but they couldn't get out, an purty soon they foun theirselves so short of breath they couldn't holler loud enough to be heerd. In course they was in a room away from the other people, so's the common folk couldn't 6ee how the trick was turned. When they couldn't holler, they tried rappin, an the others only thought they was a-workin out of the box an so didn't pay attention. After an hour or bo the other peoples got nerv ous an went in an opened the box, an there was the two sisters, cold dead. They buried 'em together in the box in the yard back of the house, an that's why they juggles the fire balls upside down like." Chicago Chronicle. MAKING ARTIFICIAL ICE. How the Plants Are Constructed and Op erated In Philadelphia. Artificial cold or ice may be most readily produced by the evaporation of a more or less volatile liquid. In the first machines constructed this liquid was water. One-tenth of the amount of water used was converted into ice, but as it was necessary to maintain a vac uum in the apparatus its perfect work ing was a difficult problem. A more readily volatile liquid, therefore, had to be substituted, such as liquefied sul phurous acid and liquefied ammonia. Being gaseous at ordinary temperatures, they are very suitable substances for this purpose. The ammonia ice machine is the one in most general use in fact, it finds exclusive application in this city. This liquefied ammonia is allowed to expand in coils of pipes which are placed in tanks filled with brine. The temperatuie of the brine is thus reduced to a point below the freezing point of water that is, to 14-18 degrees F. In this refrigerated brine are placed galvanized iron tanks having the shape of the large cakes of ice which one is accustomed to see in the wagons that pass through our city streets. After a period of 48-50 hours this can of water is converted into solid ice. The can is hoisted out of the brine, warmed with hot water, which allows the cake to slip out upon a shoot that runs into the storage rooms. The gaseous ammonia in the pipes can be used over and over again, a large compression engine being a part of the plant, which reduces the expense of the process. From this de scription it should be plain that there can be no taint of ammonia to give a taste to the ice. The plants usually employ distilled or artesian water, so that the ice is of the best quality. Whatever impurities the water contains are collected in the white streak found in the center of each cake. The pure water separates from the impure and freezes first. Even ten years ago the demand for ice was sup plied from natural Bources, the har vests from our own Pennsylvania riv ers, which were stored every winter in great houses on the shores of the streams, being supplemented by shipments throughout the summer from Maine. There are now in Philadelphia 16 ice making plants, some of which yield over 100 tons per day each, and the arti ficial product for several years has been a serious competitor of the natural arti cle.

Over and over again have Afrikander Englishmen stopped me when speaking of Zulus, Basutos, Mata bele and so on as negroes.

A Boston newspaper complains that the famous Bunker Hill monument, which when first erected was the tallest creation of man in this country, has now become quite insignificant in height. It is 220 feet high, or 327 feet shorter than city hall tower in Phila delphia. Greater Glasgow, with a population of 853,000, has only 494 medical men, or one doctor to 1,726 of the population.
