The New York banks and the capi
talists connected with them are loan

under ordinary circumstances would

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.

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

Hawaii, are delighted with the latest

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

THOSE burglars who looted Gray

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

that 65,000 fruit trees, mostly apples,
are to be planted there.

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,

DANGER IN A SHAKE.
k LEARNED DISQUISITION ON DIS

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."

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. Manufacturer.
