The So-CaIled Yellow Fever bill

The SO.CaDled Yellow Fever Hill
About once each week, or oftener, we read In
the Congressional Record the debates on the bill
OF Senator Harris ito prevent the Introduction
OF contagious or infectious diseases into the
United States" and an examination OF yester-
days discussion on the subject In the Senate
leads us to think that the proposed legislation
In this direction is unnecessarily complicated,
and the appropriation asked for $500, 0oO) too
large by more than one half.
Why should a board of seven men, meeting
from time to time, sometimes at one place and
sometimes at another, be charged with execu-
tive duties now by law devolving upon bureau
In the Treasury Department.? AS the bureau
referred to originated the idea Of a national
quarantine, and has with credit done all the
pioneer work, we fail to see the ece3sity for q
transfer of that part Of its duties to newly
created body. Existing law on the subject is
quite sufhcient, provided Congress supplies the
necessary means for its proper execution, and
we are told that about one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars would be amply Sufficient for
that purpose. Has any one yet told, or can any
one inform us, what that half million In
the Harris bill Is for? How is IL to be USE?
That IL would be improper to disturb or sup
plant state and municipal guarantees at New
York and other places where their efficiency Is
acknowledged, seems obvious and all that re-
mains to be done Is to enable certain southern
ports to protect themselves in similar man
ner. This is just what the present law contem-
plates, and while we believe that the national
board Of health should frame all rules and reg
ulations for the enforcement of such quaran-
tines as may be provided for out of the
Treasury Of the United States, and for the
guidance Of such state and municipal quaran-
tine authorities as may desire to adopt them,
We do not favor the plan to change the char
acter OF that board, which by its constituting
act was created an advisory body only, espe-
cially after seeing its naiden effort at getting
an appropriation.

The tenement-house bill, aiming to remedy
the evils of the tenement system under which
so many thousands OF New Workers drag
through Life, has been passed by the New York
assembly. The thorough inspection of tene-
ment houses is provided for. Much interest has
been manifested In the measures Of relief pro-
posed for this evil and with the means thus
provided by the state 1t is thought that at least
q partial cure can be effected

The fact that the House republicans can by
refusing to vote, leave that body at any time
without quorum. Is rather aggravating to
those democratic members who have bills which
they are impatient to pass. 1t Is unlikely that
any measure upon which the parties can divide
to the manifest advantage Of either will be
passed. Appropriation bills with riders, or
other bills to be vetoed, and measures which can
command support from both parties are the
only ones that seem to stand much chance of
success. As the feeling seems to be against
general legislation except upon few matters
Of the first importance, the present prospects
are that the session Will not last much longer.
There win be some big races at the Pimlico
course tomorrow. The Senate win doubtless
ind 1t necessary to adjourn over In order to
enable the members to transact business with
the executive Departments, going to them by
the way OF Baltimore) as on Wednesday.
William Lloyd Garrison Is lying at the point
of death In New York, and as he is now IS years
old his recovery is not probable. His public
career virtually ended with the abolition of
slavery through the civil war, but his active
mind has found occupation since in dealing
through the press with topics OF aphilanthropic
character, generally connected with the col
ored race. Mr.. Garrison was born In Newbury-
SidoS., LII lco4 NC lcdTucQ primers
trade, and at the age OF 16 his articles contrib
uted anonymously to the Newburyport Herald,
the paper upon which he was setting type, began
to attract attention. He contributed to other
papers, and In 1929 joined Benjamin Lundy, an
advocate Of the gradual abolition Of slavery
In publishing In Baltimore the Genius of
Unirersdl Emancipation. The aggressive at
titude assumed by Mr.. Garrison In behalf of
immediate emancipation soon got him into hot
water, and heated denunciation OF the domes-
tic trafnc In slaves then carried on In Baltimore
as infamous domestic piracy" caused his con-
v1ction in 1890 for "a gross and malicious libel"
Being unable to pay the costs and penalties of
the suit, he was thrown into JAIL from which he
was released after an Imprisonment of 40 days,
by the payment OF the fine and costs by Arthur
Tappan, a merchant Of New York. It Is stated
that Mr.. Tappan in this action anticipated by
few days the purpose Of Henry Clay, whose aid
had been invoked In the matter in behalf of
''the liberty OF the press" Afterwards Mr..
Garrison entered upon the project of
starting an anti-slavery journal In Wash.
1ngton, but finally concluded to estab-
Hsh 1t In Boston, and In 1881 issued the
LdbeTator, and from that time until 1865 kept I'D
his war upon slavery, frequently at the peril OF
his life, from the animosities created by the red
hot style Of his denunctations OF his opponents
notwithstanding his stormy career he dies in
peace with all mankind and at good old age

Thrown Into the Fire.

A special despatch from Raleigh, N.
c., says:
A horrible crime has Just come to
light in this county. Mrs. Louisa
Pierce, who lives about eight miles
frem here, became the mother of twins
on the 30th of last month. The woman
who was with her was sent out of the
heuse for some purpose. She was gone
tive or three minutes, and when she
came back the twins which she had
seen lying upon the floor, where they
were born alive and crying, were in the
FIRE and struggling with their little
bands and feet. Mrs. Pierce told the
woman to tell her husband when he
returned that she had buried the ba-
@ies. These are the facts as given by
the woman who was with Mrs. Pierce.
A warrant was Immediately issued,
charging Mrs. Pierce with murder and
ordering her arrest. The officers are
expected every hour with her. The
preliminary examination will be had to-
morrow. There seems to be no motive
except a desire to get rid of the chill
dren. Her husband is very respecta-
BILE citizen.

Moro confederate Moauments.

This mornings Baltimore "Sun :"
says, the movement in that oity to raise
funds to put monument over the
Maryland dead of the Confederate army
Inferred in the Marylandaot in Stone
wall Cemetery, Winchester, Va, took
definite shape last night at a meeting
of the ''Society of the Army and Navy
of the Confederate Statesin Maryland" :"
held in Raine's Hall. 1t is proposed
to raise the necessary amount to erect
the monument by giving two perfor-
manccs of Pinaf're at the Academy Gf
Music, for which native amateur and
professional talent has been secured,
and the special feature of which will
be grand orchestra of between 40 and
so performers. 1t is also proposed to
have the services of e volunteer cot.-
pany from the Fifth Regiment to take
part in the opera: receiving Sir Joseph
on the deck of the ship with military
display, as was done when the piece
first came out across the water. 1t is
proposed also to add geo or more voices
to the chOruses. A number of meEa-
bers of the Baltimore amateur Pinafor e
troupe will take part in the perform
ance, William Penn Lewis, Jr., taking
the part of Sir Joseph. Gems. johnson,
Wade Hampton, and ethers will be in
vited to attend from Washington.

New Ham ns hires New SenRt tor.

Hon. Henry W. Blair, who has re
e.,ived the Republican caucus nomina-
ton for the United States Senator from
New Hampshire to succeed Hon. b.
Wadleigh, was born at Compton, in
that State, December s, 1894. He was
admitted to the bar in 1859, and was
appointed prosecuting attorney for
Grafton county in 1860. During the
war he served as lieutenant colonel of
the Fifteenth New Hampshire Volun
teers. He was member of the State
House of Representatives in 1865, and
of the Senate in 1867 S. He was elected
to the Forty-fourth Congress as Repub-
lcan. He declined reelection. In
his canvass for Senator, Mr.. Blair had
the assistance of Mr.. W. Il. Chandler,
who was on bad terms with Mr.. Wad-
leigh.

Crops in Eastern Pennsylvania

The Germantown Photograph" says:
The grass and grain crops have now all
the rain they actually need, though the
former will stand and thrive on as much
more for the coming two weeks. Here
abouts the wheat and rye are as good
as they have been for years, and the
grass is coming forward rapidly-the
clover even, of which there has been
more than usual cultivated this season,
is still growing, the heads being fresh
and fragrant. The corn has never
come up more regularly or looked bet
ter, and notwithstanding we never saw
more blackbirds everywhere helping
themselves to no end of insects, we saw
no evidence of their depredations. And
as to the potatoes, who has ever seen
them come up more regularly or OF
larger growth in the first half OF June?
The breadth of land planted, too, is
more extensive than usual. Should no
unseen misfortune interpose, We predict,
in Eastern Pennsylvania at least, sea
son of plenty to the people and Of profit
to the cultiv&tors.

Lille Duer's Story.

In the Duer trial yesterday the State
called several witnesses, WHO corrobo-
rated previous testimony about the
shooting aud the threats made by the
accused. Clara Field, a mutual friend
of the two girls, was recalled, but made
no change in her previous statement.
Mrs. Bennett Mason testified that she
was at Mrs. H.arn's house every day
during his daughters illness.
Never saw but one teaspoonful Of
chloral given Miss Ella Hearn; thai was
during the second week of her illness.
Witness then repeated the story Of tAe
shooting as told her by Miss Ella, ,charg-
ing that the shooting WAS intentional, :,
and that the prisoner intended to kill
her, almost in the same words as mar
rated by previous witnesses.
The prisoner took the stand in her
own behalf. She detailed all that pass
ed between them en- the day ef the
shooting, and described with positive
ness the positions of herself and Miss
Hearn when the weapon was discharg-
ed. In the recital of what occurred i'm
mediately after shooting she broke down
and wept; but soon recovered compo-
sure, and her denial that she had ever
shot at Miss Learn at any time was
without equisocation.
During the entire time Miss Duer
was on the stand the interest was in
tense. The State did not cross-exam-
inc her. She is young woman of far
more than ordinary intelligence and OF
rather prepossessing appearance. Her
organism is delicata and there are in.
dications that she is not of robust
health.

Rishon Recker,s Sermon.

Bishop Becker, Of Wilmington, Del,
lectured in the Church of the Immacu-
late Conception, in Elkton, on Thurs
day evening, to an interested and at
tentive audience. The subject of the
lecture was "Satan in Society" The
Bishop began his lecture by saying that
we know very little Of God except what
is told us by the writers ofthe Bible,
but that every effect was the result Of
an adequate cause and that the exis-
tence of the Almighty might be in
ferred from His works, and that the
same was true Of Satan. His existence
in society might be inferred from the
bad condition of it. lie then referred
to the first assault of the adversary
upon our first parents in Eden aud
said that Satan in effect called God a
liar when he tempted Eve, and that
man, who was immortal before, became
mortal when he cat of the forbidden
fruit.
He then spake Of the experience Of
Job and argued from it that Satan was
not myth that existed in the imagina-
tion of men, but was real and tangi-
ble being. Following his subject
through the downward course OF time
he spoke of our Saviour's temptation in
the wilderness and denounced this at
tempt of Satan as the impersonation Of
all audacity, and that Satan when he
promised him all the glorirs and splen-
dors ofthe world if he would fail down
and worship him, lied; that he lied in
the same manner to his followers now.
Speaking of more modern times, he took
occasion to denounce and rebuke the
venality and licentiousness of the press,
the pulpit and the bar, and urged the
duty of a reformation upon his hearers
with much force and some eloquence.
The lecture was listened to with great
attention and could not fail to benefit
those who heard it.

HOwAPAPER II MADE.

"Pray, how IL paper made?"
The question Is easy to ask,
But to answer 1t fully, my dear,
Were rather difficult task;
And yet In n banterinx way,
As the whip poor-w sings in the glade,
III venture bit ofa lay
To tell how q paper is made.
An editor sits at his desk,
And ponders tho things that appear
To be claiming the thoughts Of the world
Things solemn, and comic, and queer
And when he has hit on scheme
He Judges It we'll to parade.
He whites, and he writes, and he writes,
And that Is how a paper Is made.
An editor sits at his desk,
Ana puzzles his brain to make out
sTelegrAphic " 80 squabbled and mixed,
1t Is hard to tell what It's about.
Excha nges are lying around,
While waiting dispatches delayed,
He clips, and he clips, and he clips,
And that's how paper Is made.
An editor out In the town,
In search of the things that are new
The things that people have done.
The things they're intending to do
Goes peering and prying about,
For items OF many grade;
He tramps, and he tramPs, and he tramps,
And that's how paper is made.
And all that those workers prepare,
Ufevery conceivable stripe,
Is sent to the printer, and he
PrOceedeth to stick 1t in type.
His lines. all respecting his will.
In slOw-moving columns parade
He sticks, and he sticks, aud he sticks,
And that's how q paper is made.
In short, when the typo is all set,
And errors cleared up more or less,
II is "locked in form, us they say,
And hurried away to the press.
The pressman arranges his sheets,
His ink gives the requisite shade,
Then he prints, and he prints, and he print
And that's how a paper is made.

Stricken With Paralysis.

The Sentinel" says: "On Thursday
afternoon as Mrs. WIN. Virden was re-
turning home from Dover, she was seiz !
ed with paralytic stroke, and fell from
the carriage when about two miles from
this town. She was found lying help
less in the road, and the Eorse feeding
a short distance off. She was removed
to the residence of Mr.. Emrey Marvel,
and DR.. Salisbury was summoned, who
had her removed to her home near
Hazlettville. All of her left side was
paralyzed."
