Mr.. Gladstone, says the Springfield

will meet DR.. Dollinger, the famous
Old Catholic, and they will talk theo-

This shows what different ideas Deo-

them might be sized up as follows:

The Dangers of Kissing.

The custom of kissing has been con-
demned by the wise and frowned uDon
by the religious, but has managed to
thrive despite it all, and is still loves
great artillery and best ally. Whv
tactile sensations from a limited labiaI
surface have been found so very agree
able, and why they should have CON
trlbuted so much to the poetry and
pairing off of the human race. are
questions quite worthy of full discus
sion. Kissing, we are told, began with
the birds and reaches its most perfect
evolution in man. 1t thas long history.

a permanent feature in human society

motlng wedding engagements and fur

But an enemy to the kiss has appear
ed IN Washington, in the person of DR..
Samuel S. Adams, who devotes seven
columns of the journal of the American
Medical Association to exposing the
" dangers of kissing" EVERYTHING has
Its dark side. The dark side of kiss
ing, as viewed by DR.. Adams. is both
moral and physical Among women
and between children and adults it has
degenerated into an insincere, unmean-
ing and commonplace salutation, when
1t should be reserved only as an index
OF atfectionate feeling.
But the weight of the Doctors argu-
ment is expended in showing the pos
sible evils which come from the pro
miscuous kissing of babies and children
by adults. tuberculosis, diptheria. in
fictitious fevers-all are possible on
actual results of kissing. A veritable
instance is cited, in which the drum of
the ear was ruptured by kiss applied
to the circular appendage A kiss of
such suction force reminds one of Bene-
diets, which had "such a clamorous
smack that, at the parting. all the
church did echo" Although we NAV
not realize as he does the widespread
and endemic character of the kissing
habit in Washington, we can only trust
1t will prove sefe place for the Inter

The new method of execution bv
electricity, proposed for the State of
New York, is described as follows +:
The condemned person would be placed
in an ordinary chair, with his head
resting againstits back. A wire would
be run from the electric light works to
the prison, and entering an insulated
substance, such as glass or rubber.
would constitute positive pole. The

plate, would form connection with
the pole, and arrangements being COM

The SpOuting Geyser.

CINNIBAR, Monday, September 1st.-
Last Friday and Saturday visitors to
the park who happened to be in the
vicinity of Fire Hole basin witnessed a
rare spectacle. The Excelsior geyser
situated in Hell's Half Acre. which has
been in state of quiescence for over
four years, suddenly broke out about 3
o'clock Friday afternoon and contin-
ued to play for over twenty-four hours.
The witnesses prOnOnce it the grandest
and most awe-inspiring display thev
ever beheld. The spOutings were heard
several miles distant, while the earth
in the immediate vicinity was violently
shaken as if by an earthquake. The
noise of the escaping steam and tie in
ternal rumbling was deafening. An i'm
mense body of water, accompanied bv
steam, was projected to an altitude of
about 800 feet, and the Fire Hole river
which is only few rods distant, soon
became a torrent of boiling water. The
display was kept up gradually decreas-
ing force until late Saturday, when the
Excelsior went back to its normal
state. As it is an exceedingly crratic
geyser 1t may remain inactive for wears

How the knights Have Grown.

FROM AN ASSEMBLY OF TEN MEN TO OVER
HALF A MILLION.
From the Philadelphia Press.
So great has been the rush upon the execu-
tive board, which has its headquarters in this
city at the southwest corner of Fifth and Lo-
Gust streets, for new charters during the past
few months that it has been found impossible
to properly continue the work of organizing
A motto OF the knights is 'Agitate, Organize
ana Educate, and the difficulty in properly
scnooilng applicants in the rules of the
order led, early in the present month to
local assemblies for forty days. An exception
was made IN the case of the street car drivers
and conductors of this city week ago, because
tnat was regarded as a case Of extreme neces-
SHY, out no other new assemblies will be taken
in until the forty days Limitation has expired
CHARTERS were received at the general head
quarters, and they have been pouring in at
Such rate during the past few weeks that
when the time prescribed in the order of sus-
pension lapscs there will be an impetus given
To the organization such as it has not already
known.
III Philadelphia there are three district as.
senDicS- n district assembly bears much the
same relation to the general assembly that a
state 90, 10 the government at Washington.
1t is subordinate to the general body and
matters are frequently taken to the higher
1uStncnt Zach district assembly is imposed
OF a number of local assemblies which COM
prise some special craft, or number, as the
case may be. In cases where number of
trades are included ii is known as "a mixed"
assembly, as III the case of BRISTOL Pa where
the assembly includes iaborers, tradesmen and
mechanics, representing half a dozen ditteren
industrial branches.
