EDISON'S REMEDY.
How The Great Inventor Would
Destroy Yellow Fever Germs.

How The Great Inventor Would
Destroy Yellow Fever Germs.
Mr.. Thomas A. Edison thinks he has dis.
covered remedy for the destruction of yell
low fever germs His experiences have been
with familiar and cheap substances ir use as
disinfectants. "MY experiments, says Mr..
Edison in recent conversation with New
York Herald man. shave been purely senti-
mental, and from the results obtained I
feel confident that ! have at last found q
means of stamping out the fever germs. /
am convinced that the fever germs must be
either Of two things-animal organization or
fungus growth. It Is not due to gases or
the whole of district would be affected ut
once"
MI. Edison then explains the virtues Of
gasolene and rhingolene in the destruction Of
germs by the production Of cold. and pro
ceeds:
"Gasolene has the peculiar property also of
displacing the water in all organic matter,
causing it to perish. But as gasolene is easily
absorbed by wet ground and would probably
fail in measure to do its work, I have dis
covered that caustic soda will answer the pur-
pose In these instances Microbes being or
ganic must contain certain fatty acid, and
caustic acid will saponify anything contain.
ing fatty acid. So, in the wet places, would
literally sprinkle caustic soda, which could
be done at a very small cost with the aid of q
street sprinkler The houses and dry places
could. be protected with gasolene.
"Our experiments with microbes have been
encouragingly successful, and not having any
Of the yellow fever germs to work upon we
can only draw our conclusions by analogy"

RESTRICTING CHINAMBN.
The Bill Excluding Them from
This Country Becomes a Law.
The President Sends a Message to
Congress Relative to the Bill.

The President has sent to Congress his ap-
proval Of the Chinese Exclusion bill, accom-
panied by reasons therefor in special mes
sage, and the suggestion that joint resoiu-
tion be passed allowing the admission OF such
Cinnamon as are now on their way to this
The bill, which was introduced in the
House by Congressman Scott, forbids the
admission Of Chinese into this country,
whether for business or for the purpose OF
travel. It revokes all permits heretofore
granted by which Chinese labore-s on VISIT
to their native land are allowed to return:
The bill was passed both in the House ana
Senate by substantial majoritles, ouS nnai
action was long delayed by the Senate
owing to some doubt as to whether
China had rejected the treaty by which
some Of the benefits OF the treaty were
secured. .
In his message to Congress the President
says: 1.-THE experiment Of blending the social
habits and mutual race idiosyncracies OF the
Chinese laboring classes with those OF tne
great body Of the people Of the United States
has been proved by the experience OF twenty
years, and ever since the Burlingame treaty
of 1868, to be in every sense unwlse, lmpolltlc
and injurious to both nations"
After tracing the history Of negotiations
with China, the President continues,
"The admitted and paramount right and
duty Of every government to exclude from
its borders all elements of foreign population
which for any reason retard its prosperity or
are detrimental to the moral and physical
health of its people, must be regarded as
recognized canon OF international law and
intercourse.
"China herself has not dissented from this
doctrine but has. by the expressions to which
| have referred, led US confidently to rely
upon such action on her part in cooperation
with US as would enforce the exclusion OF
Chinese laborers from our country.
"This cooperation has not, however, been
accorded us. Thus from the unexpected and
Disappointing refusal of the Chinese Govern,
men5 to confirm the acts Of its authorized
agent. and to carry into effect an inter,
national agreement, the main feature OF
which was voluntarily presented by that
government for our acceptance, and which
had been the subject Of long and careful de-
liberation, an emergency has arisen. In
which the government Of the United States
is called upon to act in self-defenc by the e1-
ercise Of its legislative power"
The President concludes by recommending
an appropriation Of 6,6l9. IS, to be turned
over to the Chinese minister at Washington
as an indemnity to his government for losses
and injuries inflicted on citizens OF China In
unsettled parts Of this country.

THE PROUD LADY GONR.

Away from the noise and clatter,
The din Of the busy street,
Is a cabaret, shaded and silent,
Where at evening we often meet
She Is a proud, rich lady, N5
Beautiful, wealthy and grand,
And society's legions marshal
At the wave Of her jeweled hand
Yet far from the glamor and glitter, Z
From revel and rout and ball,
She seeks her old companion.
When the evening shadows fall
Tread in her eyes Of azure
A welcome tender and strong,
And her greeting to me is the music
or sweet, old fashioned song.
She sits where the fading sunshine
Falls on her pure, sweet face, W
About her, draped and twiuing,
An aura Of shimmering taca -,
We chat over old excursions - q
By woodland and stream and shores;
We clink our glasses, the wine flies; 4
"Come, waiter, and bring US more.
] open my eyes, the waiter
Is before mo, bottle in hand, -
But alasl the rich, proud lady s
Has gone to the shadowy land.
For although I weave about her
This web of an ancient time,
The lady long since has banished
Her minstrel and his rhyme.
