The Germ Theory and Small Pox

The value of Darbys Prophylatic Fluid
in destroying and eounteracting the effect
of contagious diseases can scarcely be esti-
mated, as small pox and the like are caused
by certain germs gaining a place in the
human body. The Fluid successfully COM
bats and destroys the germs before they
fully develop, thereby divesting them of
all power to harm. Thoroughly disinfect
your houses and every place with the

CAPITAL NOTES.

The Senate and House committee on
the Chilli Peruvian Diplomatic scandal will
both get to work Monday. Kasson on
the part of the House Committee, and
Window on the part of the Senate, assert
that the inquiry will be thorough and fear
less Blaine will be examined, and his
friends appear entirely confident that moth
ing can come out damaging to him. 1t is
pretty certain that he has very large mass
of correspondence in relation to South
American affairs, which he will produce.
One of his ardent friends in the House to
day says there was a dynamite under
Blaine's hands, with which he would as
tonish the country, but which would net
iniure the ex-Secretary. The House Com
mittee will hold its first meeting for taking
testimony next.
Representative Whittehorn says he has
showers of letters congratulating him up
on his speech in favor of distinctive
American foreign policy, and applauding
the return to the ancient Democratic doc
trine as indicated In the famous Ostend
manifesto He denies that his speech is
an endorsement of Blaine, but declares
that the ex-Secretary has the sympathy of
all Democrats who love the tradition of
the party upon the subject OF our attitude
to other republics in the New world
Senator Call will probably deliver a speech
at an early day taking similar position.
Shermans proposition looking to a re-
striction of the coinage of silver, will be
earnestly opposed by Beck and other silver
men on. the committee as they regard it as
reopening of the fight against silver. The
committee will also consider, if there is
time to morrow, Senator Becks bin to pre-
vent over certification of checks by
National banks.
Senator Vest is not hopeful of any action
by the committee upon his bill to prohibit
the issuance of currency by National banks
after July 7th next. Many democratic
members of both Houses are opposed to
making such issue with the immense bank
ing interests of the country.
A special to the Northeastern Press says
the bill to make Denver port of delivery
passed the Senate to-day. Having already
passed the House and having the in
dorsement of the Treasury Department,
the approval of the President is only need
ed to become law.
The House Committee on Public Lands
to-day reported bill to return the military
reservation of Forth .Abercrombie, Mime

isted against Arthur O'Connor, Home
Rule, member of House for Queens
county. He inquired with what offense
he was charged. T. III. Healy. member
for Wexford burough, who. believed thai
a similar warrant existed against himself,
seconded O'Connor's motion. Phillip
Calm QlibsraD. member for Louth, en-
deavered to exact a pledge from the Gov
ernment not to cause the arrest of members
visiting their constituents. Gladstone re
fused to grant such immunity. or give any
further information O'Connor finally
withdrew his motion, saying he knew that
the warrant contained an utterly unfounded
charge of reasonable practices. He defled
the government to try him in England.
McCLEAN's EXAMINATION.
At the examination of MacLean two let
ters written by the prisoner were read. In
| the first, which was written before the
shooting he said he was compelled to COM
nit crime against the bloated aristocracy
because of insufficiency of relief offered
him. In the second letter, written after
his arrest, he said the only object was to
cause public alarm and get his pecuniary
grievances redressed, as he did not mean
to hurt the Queen, but only fired at her
carriage. The police evidence at the ex-
animation, which the prisoner tried to
shake by cross-examination, went to prove
that he fired straight at the carriage and
not at the wheels as he alleged.
THE PARTICULARS OF THE SHOOTING.
An eye witness to the shooting states
that MacLean was observed fumbling in
his pocket when the Queen was being
helped into the carriage, but the presence
of the crowd prevented him from using his
arm until the carriage was in motion. The
same cause made his aim very wide. The
bullet found in the station yard weighs
about a third of an ounce. 1t has been
compared with the others found on Mac
Lean, and corresponds with them exactly.
Before the revolver was seized, the prison
er he'd brought another loaded chamber OPP
posite the hammer.
