A New DisinfeUtant.


A grand success Is what DR.. Joseph
Holt, the President OF the Louisiana
Board of Health, pronounces the new dis
| injecting system which has lately been
established at the Mississippi quarantine
station. Those who have kept track OF
| the experiments with disinfecting ap-
paratus of one kind or another, and with
one disinfectiug agent and another at
that quarantine station, will, perhaps,
recall the fact that aEfew months ago it
was announced with great deal
OF rejoicing thatriat last the right
disinfecting agent and the machine
to use it properly had been discovered at
New Orleans, and that there was a gen.
eral feeling OF happiness in that commu-
nifty because Of the belief that the only
chance for the yellow fever to get into the
city had been destroyed. About the first
ship that was disinfected with the new
agent was from a South American port.
There were a good many passengers on
board, and they had great deal
of costly clothing. Their trunks were
opened and the new disinfectant literally
introduced into them. The result was
that great many very fine dresses were
ruined. The passengers folt that they
had been treated badly, and they raised
such racket that some of the new Louis
lana Board of Health and New Orleans
custom house officials were not right sure
that their official heads were not in dan
ger.
The new sulphur disinfectant was aban-
doned at once, and now another expert.
ment is to be tried. This last dlsinfectant
is squirted all over vessel and into state.
rooms and trunks until everything is dis
agreeably moist. 1t may be just the thing
to give quietus to yellow fever germs,
but who knows that it is? There have
been so many experiments with different
sorts OF disiDfecting agents, all of which
at the time they were employed were
alleged to be just the thing to
give the most ample protection
against yellow fever, that it is difficult to
put much confidence in any OF the disin-
tectsnts that sanitarians are constantly
pushing on the attention OF the public.
1t is much more likely that the disinfect-
ant now being experimental with at the
Mississippi quarantine station will be
abandoned inside of n year as utterly
worthless, than that 1t will ever be clearly
shown that 1t possesses any virtue. Until
more is known about the cause and nature
OF yellow fever, experimenting with yellow
fever disinfectante will be much like
striking at an enemy in the dark.

The Bulgarian Revolution.

The bloodless revolution in Bulgaria
may disturb the peace of Europe, or II
may result In nothing more than long
diplomatic correspondence. The dis
patches indicate that Germany and Aus
tria are satisfied, and, of course, Russia
is, because Prince Alexander's abdica-
ton was undoubtedly brought about by
Russian influences to accomplish objects
which Russia has long had in view.
Some of the English newspapers declare
that England is not greatly interested In
the matter, but this can hardly be so.
Prince Alexander was a sort OF vassal
of the Sultan, and If Turkey protests
against his abdication, and attempts to
make trouble about it, the Eastern ques-
ton will at once occupy the attention OF
European diplomatists, and when was it
that England was not profoundly inter-
ested in that question:
1t Will be some time, perhaps, before the
true story of the abdication is told, and
before the purpose of Russia is made
clear. In the meantime there will be
great deal OF talk of one sort and another
relative to the probabilities of war, the
most of which, doubtless, will have for
its object no other purpose than to in
fluence the prices of securities.
There appears to be considerable SYM
patty for Prince Alexander, and, per-
haps, he deserves it. He has made Bull
garia very good ruler, and, had he
yielded to Russian Influences, it is proba-
BILE that he would not have been dis
IT Il hou
ever, relative to what was best for Bull
garia with which the ruling class of the
Bulgarian people, it seems, do not SYM
pathize.
Prince Alexander is only about 90 years
of age. He was chosen as ruler of Bull
garia in April, 1879, by an assembly at
Tirnova. He is connected with the royal
families of both England and Russia.
His younger brother Henry only recently
married Princess Beatrice, the youngest
daughter of Queen Victoria. One of his
aunts was the wife of Alexander H., of
Russia.
When Bulgaria was made practically
Independent of the Sultan, Eastern Rou-
melia wanted to be annexed to that prn
cipality, but the powers which framed
the treaty of Berlin objected. In 1885,
however, Eastern Roumelia took the bit
in her mouth, as it were, and elected
Prince Alexander Governor. When he
undertook to occupy the province Servia
objected, for some reason or
other, and Prince Milan and
Prince Alexander fought several
unite impOrtant battles The result was
in favor of Prince Alexander, and he re-
turned to his capital with his reputation
as soldier and his popularity greatly in
creased. He did not insist upon occupy
ing Eastern Roumelia, however, but left
the question of annexation to arbitration.
Now that he has been depOsed it is a mat
ter of deep interest to know what Turkey
will do, and what the next movement Of
Russia will be.

Political Capital and Pension v etoe.


The extreme Republican papers are
trying to make political capital out of the
pension vetoes. 1t seems that the Presi-
dent, during the last session OF Congress,
vetoed 102 pension bills, which called for
$13,9S4 year.
The point which these partisan journals
make is that more than that sum was ap-
propriated for the care and repair OF the
conservatory and greenhouses of the eX-
ecutive mansion, and that while the
President was willing that any amount
of money should be expended, and even
wasted, for his comfort and pleasure he
objected to allowing the small sums
which Congress voted to dependent
widows and homeless orphans of ex-sol-
diers to keep them out of poor houses.
This sort of stuff may do for those who
do not care for the truth, and who are
ready to condemn the administration
upon tie smallest pretext or without any
pretext whatever, but it will only excite
the contempt of sensible people. The
point is not whether more or less money
was appropriated for the White House
conservatory than was necessary, but
whether or not the pension vetoes were
in accordance with Justice. 1t is not the
| right of the President to deal with the
| money in the Treasury as if it were a
charity fund. IL it were he could very
soon get rid of the surplus money about
which there has been so much talk, and
that, too, without wasting any Of 1t upon
these who are undeserving.
Unless there is some excellent reason
why an ex-soldier's widow or children
should be provided for at public expense
the President would fail in his duty to
the people if he were to approve bills
granting them pensions, and it seems
that no such reason existed with respect
to the bills which he vetoed. with the ex-
ception, perhaps, of one or two, concern
ing which he was misled by those who
furnished him information.
If the vetoes were not Just why was IL
that the Republican Senate did not at
once pass over the vetoes those of the
vetoed bills which originated in that
body? The reason is that it did not dare
TO attempt anything of that kind. The
facts which would have been brought out
| in debate would have shown that the bills
had been passed without inquiry as to
their merits, and would have increased
the popularity of the President.
There is no capital TO be made by the
Republicans out of the pension vetoes if
! they confne themselves to the Truth, and
if they attempt TO mislead the people
with respect to them they will hurt more
than help their cause. The truth Is Ger.
tain to become known.

White Hosiery Again Becoming Fash
ionRble.

From the Ne,o York Mail and Erpress,
"Oh, Pm so glad that white stockings arc
coming into fashion agan!" exclaimed lady
the other day, as she gazed at large box OF
newly-imported silken hosiery, all in delicate
shades OF white and cream. 1--WE been q
martyr ta black stockings for some two years
now, because one cannot be out Of fashion,
you know, even though IL would be an untold
blessing" After purchasing a half dozen
pairs, some pure white, others with black,
rcarlet or yellow clocks and dots, she left the
store with satisfied smile,
"What is there disagreeable about black
stockingsf" asked the reporter.
why, don't you know that the dye comes
OF, anu especially during warm weather? 1t
does not seem to make any difference whether
the hosiery ie of the finest silk or the warmest
cotton, the dye comes of on the skin, and
what 10 more dlsagreeabe is not easily re-
moved. A lady who was in here a half hour
ago told me that her little girls feet had not
been white for a whole year, and vet she
bought her several pairs OF black stockings"
Are white ones really fashionable now"
why, OF course. All English women have
discarded the black ones because the Princess
of Wales no longer appears in them, but
wears pure silk balbriggan OF snow W hlte
color. Her daughters folio " her load, and II
would be rather difficult 10 find a woman OF
fashion in London to-day wearing black
hosiery. Black stockings make the feet look
smaller, and do not soil so easily, aud for that
reason they have remained In favor a long
time. This warm weather, however, makes
many converts TO the lighter colors, and now
that they are the more fashionable IL will not
take long to turn the tide in their favor"
Some of the newest white hosiery are OF the
finest elk or Isle thread, with open work over
the inFtep. Others of the same material are
marked with dragon or snake in black, gold.

unique, these are not at all beautiful. Tiny

stockings, and others have simulated anklets
OF silk embroidery, with rubies or sapphires
fastened in them. The cream bal6rigRan
are among the cheaper kinds ana are consid-
cred far moro comfortable and heAlthful than
the Jet black ones. which have had a long
and successful reign, but must now abdicste
In favor OF snow white.

The DismantIed Engine.

From tho -VSlo YORK QUIZ
Side-tracked and silent
Stands the dismantled engine,
AS silent now as the hills and
The mountains whose echoes she wakened
As she whistled through the valleys;
When men, alert and clear-slghted,
Stood at her potent throttle.
Worn out, powerless, and useless,
And robbed of her FURNISHED brasses,
With dead-drawn fires she stands;
And everywhere the corrodlng rust.
Even where the well oled piston
Shot swiftly in and out. is rust.
The country school boy, books forgetting,
Dreams OF her standing there desolate,
Dismissed for the day from his studies
He climbs to her vacant cab and
Mimics the man who once drove her.
Think of her ancient splendor,
Laborng up the steep grades
And spinning along the levels,
Creeping across the bridges,
Rattling over the culverts,
Shrieking through the forests
And putting at the stations,
Whisting at the stations,
And resting in the round house;
Struggling through the snow storm
And damaged in the collision.
Now, like a dethroned monarch,
Powerless and helpless In exile,
Days of great glory departed,
She waits for her utter extinction.

Brignoii Too Fat to Climb.

HTOHb tH6 BOSTON UCOOe,
Here is q good time table story about our
old fat friend BrignoH The other night a
party of gentlemen at ease with themselves

town with their stomachs against table

taste. One of the number was, or is, the
went round he laughed as a memory crept
through him, and he said: There was a
funny thing happened one time IN Abbott's
Company, one of those things that are often
the laugh OF the green room without ever
getting out to be enjoyed by the public.
Romeo and Juliet was on. and Castle was
playing to AbbOtt's Juliet He had intro
duced bit of stage business which, being an
DO withont P" any ne trouble %li A IN the he
balcony scene Castle would climb
up the side of the scenes
to the balcony where the duet was sung. But
one night Castle was sick and Brignoli was
called upon to do Romeo, and of course the
balcony scene. Well, it would have killed
you to have seen the expression on Brignoll's
face when Castles method of reaching the
balcony was explained to him. Castle
weighed 100 pounds, ana Brignoli scaled up to
300. Think of it. The big tenor looked over
which it was suggested he should shin up so
nimbly with his 300 pounds. He stood with
his hands on his hips, 4 can sing and play the
part of Romeo he blurted finally, but you
may be very much certain that will not
climb up that scenery like monkey and
that's all there was of it. He brought down
tho stage folks but he took himself up to the
balcony in the style best adapted to 300
pounds OF aYoirdupols."

From the Neao York Times (Ind.)
There are men on both sides of the border
who are eager to embroil the two countries
in quarrel and on the alert for a preteXt.
They thought to make one out of the arrest OF
Cutting. They would be glad to see the two
countries at war, with view to the annexa-
ton of Mexican territory into which Ameri
can capital and enterprise have penetrated,
and in which they find inadequate protection.
NOW this is precisely what by all honorable
means the United States should avoid. 1t
does not want the additional territory, much
less the additional population. 1t should aim
at cultlvatlng friendly relations, promoting
commercial intercourse, asslmilatlng so far
as possible the laws of the two countries in
their relation to the mutual rights of their
citizens and at securing the protection OF
Americans in Mexico in their persons and
pronerty.

By the employment of new processes the
manufacture of steel has become 50 cheap
that it is rapidly taking the place of iron for
most OF the purposes for which iron has been
used. There are now seven Bessemer steel
plants in Pittsburg that make a grade OF steel
cheaper than iron. Yet in order to deprive
consumers of the benefits of cheap steel the
manufacturers organize to limit production
and insist that the old duty on steel shall be
maintained
