was at his best, and his parishioners
congratulated each other at the doors

the actor and actress heartily, in
troduced them to several pillars of the

they had afforded him the previous day,
and came to the point by saying that his
folks in Connecticut had sent him big

Mr.. Irving made little informal speech
in reply, and accepted the invitation in
behalf of Miss Terry and himself. The
party then paired off-Mr. Beecher tax

Discovery of the Cholera Germ.
From the London Telegraph

It appears from the text of DR.. Koch's
report to the German government on his
Investigations at Alexandra that the
cholera bacteria were fully revealed by
the microscope. In the blood, the liver,
the lungs, the spleen, the kidneys, and
other organs usually affected in germ
diseases, no trace of these living organ
isms was found. On the other hand, in
the intestines whole colonies were dis:
covered in every stage of destructive
and fatal activity. Details of this char.
acter are given, amounting, it may be
sain in general, to the conclusion that
the severity of the cases was in proper
ton to the abundance of these germs.
Dr.. Koch does not, however, consider it
conclusively established, strongly as the
evidence points in that direction, that
the bacteria are the cause Of the cholera.
They may, he observes, be the result Of
it; or. rather, the infective matter which
generates the disease may bring about
conditions which favor the development
81 these organisms in the. body. At the
same time the body of evidence regard
ing this class Of contagious and cpl
demic disorders leaves little doubt that
the germs and the cholera go together.
Dr.. Koch finds that the nearest resem-
blance II previously identified bacteria
70 that Of cholera is the thread like ba-
#cillus found in connection with CHAMBERS
in horses. In order to settle the ques-
tion whether these microscopic entozoa
are causes or effects of cholera DR..
Koch and his clloeagues tried to com
zse&- r
