A large number of ladies evinced
their usual curiosity, and even pene
trsted the storage cellars below in
their desire to see and learn the mys-

cared for. Mr.. Coleman, as usual,
was equal to the emergen-

10 Man From Animals,
The third of the Cartwright lectures for
1888, under the direction of the alumni Of
the College of Physicians and Surgeons,
was given at Association hall last night by
DR.. W. I. Beliield, OF Chicago. The special
topic was "The Bacillus OF Tuberculosis

DR.. Beliield said that the main strong
hold Of those who assert that disease Is
propagated by bacteria is the well.dem-
onstrated fact that the disease known
as anthrax Is so propagated. This
disease has been epidemic in Ger
many, Russia, and France, and spasmod-
ically in the United States. In Russia, from
1867 to 1870, there persisted by il $1,000

in factory, who were working upon par.
ticular kind of horsehair, were attacked
with the disease, while other workmen In
the same factory escaped. This showed
that the fungi had made the incidental ex.

Dr.. Beifield cited the observations made
OF the spread of tuberculous diseases among

the theory ofthe spread Of consumption by
bacteria, citing cases where the disease had
probably been communicated by inhalation

held meeting at the City hall last evening
for the purpose OF taking steps to induce

furnishing them with good fire.engine in
place OF the old one, which has long since
seen its best days. The chief of the
fire department, in his report to the city
council Tuesday night, called attention to
the condition of the engine, but no action
was taken on it. The members of Engine
company No. have always willingly and
promptly responded to alarms OF fire, and
have on numerous occasions done most eff.
fective service, but with an engine worn out
and full OF leaks, they are unable to do
good duty any longer, They passed the
