Beaumetz who has been favorably impressed
with tho reports made in these cases, has tested
the method practically and greatly benefited, il
not cured outright, seven patients. Into his
sulphurous chamber fresh air Is admitted from
time to time, the patients being more merci-
fully dealt with than in the original expert
menting room.
This method of treatment is said to have
been suggested by the experience of soldier
in the last stages of consumption. He was
employed in disinfecting barracks and obliged
10 pass nine hours day in a sulphurous atmos-
phere. Although his condition bad been pro-
nounced hopeless by hospital authorities, he
completely regained his health in sixty-dve
days. The sulphur burned for the purpose oil
destroying the germs of contagious disease in
the infected barracks had similar cffoct upon
the tubercle bacilli of his own lungs. This IS
the practical explanation which the scientific
followers of DR.. Koch offer of the success oil
this singular method of treating phthisis.

leans the shock Of surprise is all the more
intense because of his recent utterances about
this country. Mr.. Arnold was only sixty-six
years old. That he might have lived much
longer is easily probable, had he exercised
ordinary prudence. For man who inherited
weakness of the heart to engage in such violent
exercise as leaping over fence at MIR. Arnolds
age shows that rare intellectual power Is not
always associated with common discretion.
Mr.. Arnolds place in literature is fixed and his
fame is secure whatever fluctuations of opinion
tho future may disclose. His poems have
charm all their own, although not of the "popu-
lar' order, but it is as a critic Of keen insight
and mastery style that he is best and will be
longest known.

D1sJvFECTING CoNsUMPTITES.

A new method of treating pulmonary con-
sumption is described by "The Medical Rccord'
from French sources sulphuretted hydrogen
was one of the alleged curative agents in the
Bergeon treatment by gaseous enemata The
French experimenters have discarded that
method as one of doubtful utility but they seem
determined to fill their patients lungs with
sulphur in some form. Their new system of
curing consumption is based upon sulphuric
acid in medicated inhalations. sulphur slightly
moistencd with alcohol is burned in brazier, a
little benzoin or powdered opium being some
times added to make the fumes less disagree
able The patient is required to stand twice a
day in this suphurous chamber and inhale the
medicated atmosphere until his lungs are sat
urated with sulphuric acid. The treatment is
said TO have been markedly successful in as
many as thirty cases, sweats and fever disap-
pearine, the lungs clearing up and tho appetite

ONLY A RUY PEDLER.

It is almost pity that it wasn't millionaire
or other leading citizen that was killed by the
electric light wire on Sunday morning. If it
had been, the community would have been
startled, and its indignation might have brought
the wires under ground But IL was only
poor boy pedler-a little fellow fifteen years
DID, Rumanian, a stranger in this great city,
selling collar buttons and pocket combs from
modest tray TO help support his mother and
eight brothers and sisters. A wire had been
swinging for months from pole near which
the boy took his stand he happened to touch
it, gave ga sort of quack," the policeman said,
and was dead. There is Power in whose
eyes this boys life was as sacred as that of any
man, however distinguished, and it should be
in the eyes of the law.
1t is, indeed, monstrous thing that death
traps like this should exist in this city. This is
not the first death that has occurred from the
electric light wires and there is no telling when
or where the series will end at the present rate
of progress of the Subway Commission in get
ting the wires underground. Unfortunately
for the public, the responsibility for the delay
is not so clear as it might be. Mayor Hewitt is
principally TO blame, according to his colleagues
in the Commission according to the Mayor, the
fault rests with them. 1t is not easy for the
public to decide, but they cannot be blind to the
fact that the salaried members of the Commits
sion continue to draw large compensation for
very light dutics-even when they are per-
formed-while the work goes on at very slow
pace. The fact that the salaries will continue
so long as the work does may cause the Com
missioners to view the situation with COM
placency which the public can hardly be ex-
pected to share A part of the responsibility
undoubtedly lies with the corporations which
have resisted and delayed the effort to carry out
| this measure of protection
| Public opinion will not tolerate much further
delay. The wires now embody so many men
aces to life and property that the man who him
ders putting them underground should fee
that he is taking a heavy responsibility upon
himself. The unsightlness of the wires and
the trouble caused by severe storms are Of lit

CEMENT AND DEMoCRATIC METHODS


The action Of The Dark Lantern committee
in the matter of cement illustrates its igno-
rance. At first it proposed to take Oft the duty
entirely. Then, without any conceivable rea-
son except that it became known that great
many of the voters employed in cement making
in Ulster County are Democrats, the same COM
mittce voted to put cement back into the dutia-
bic list, but at only half the present rate OF
duty. The letter of the Lawrence Cement Co,
elsewhere published, states the facts which rem
der such a reduction possibly fatal to the indus
try here and certainly harmful to the workers.
AS matters now stand, there appears to be a
fair margin for the defence of the home indus
try against foreign competition. With freights
at 40 cents barrel, and Portland cement at its
present price, the duty could he reduced or re-
moved without affecting the homo manufact-
ure because that industry is one of the many
in which home competition has reduced the
price to American consumers far below the
ordinary price Of the corresponding foreign
products. The average price Of all cement i'm
ported last year was S1.O3 per barrel in for
cign markets, and with freight SLAB in New
York exclusive of the duty, which averaged
20 6 cents per barrel, while the best Rosendale
cement is quoted at S1.20. But the freights
vary widely; in fact, instead Of 40 cents per
barrel, the freight has been only cents, and at
this very time steamers going to Europe are
bidding for grain al n quarter of cent per
bushel, which would be equal to only 2-3
cents per barrel of cement. AT such rates as
these the foreign producers would have an OPP
portunity to empty their entire surplus into this
market at figures which would enable them to
break down the home production. Then they
could fix prices to suit themselves. AS it
stands, the consumer here gets cheaper cement
than he could get from Europe if there were
no duty. so that the retention Of the duty ac-
,ually costs him not penny. But it serves to
defend the industry against those violent fiuc-
tuations in rates and prices which would de-
stroy it, and would leave homo consumers at
The mercy of foreigners.
This illustrates the objection to great num-
her of the changes now proposed. The COM
m;ttee has ignorantly imagined that duties
could safely be removed or lowered If they had
no effect whatever upon present prices IN this
country. But The instant answer is, what
conceivable reason is there for removing a
duty which costs nobody cent" Messrs.
Mills e. Co. cannot explain, because they can
not confess the motive which prompts the
AGENTS Of foreign importers who constantly be-
sicgo the committee. 10 American manu-
facturers and workingmen its doors are closed,

DALY,s THEATRE-ROSINA vOKEs.

A numerous and kindly audience filled Days Tho
afro last night, and cordially welcomed Miss Rosina
vokes and her comedy company in Game of Cards.
In the first piece Mr.. Felix Morris, comedian who
long since gained thoughtful admiration In this COM
muny for extraordinary truth to nature and peculiar
felicity in the execution OF his sketches Of character,
impersonated proud, sensitive petulant decreplt old

men over game Of cards. which threatens to separate
a couple Of young lovers, but which Is adrotly COM
promised By q udlcous administration Of chloroform,
deudng the old noble into the idea that be has merely
been dreaming. Great fidelity to the pecuartes Of
ncplent senty, together with unconscious humor In
the denotement of pride and sensbillty constituted
the charm of the acting of Mr. Felix Morris. He was
loudly applauded and had the unqualified sympathy OF

as Lady Grafton In "The Circus RIDER and as

W1yTED-GEYERAL MAHoNE'

In his now famous secret circular against Blaine,
General Malone charged that certain letter from
Virginia which had appeared in TnE tribune,
and which he affected to regard as aimed at him
self with deadly intent, was really written In THIS
city, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, at Mr.. Blaines
instigation, and by II. G. Parsons, Of Virginia.
To this THE TRIBUNE responded that the letter
was not written at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, nor
in this city, but in Virginia. as it purported to be,
and not by H. @. Parsons at all, but by gentle
man whose name we have in our conidentiol
records, and not at Mr.. Blaine's instigation But
General Malone is of the opinion that q lie well
stuck 20 is as good as the truth, and in a recent
answer to Captain John s. Wise, he says, speaking
of the secret circular:
No rational human being can read that letter with.
out being fully convinced that II It's allegations Of
fact be true, It points out tho only manly course, the
only seli-respecting course for Virginia Republicans
to pursue, and undertake to prove before any
even including that which charges the authorship Of
a certain letter which appeared in IHK NEw-IoRk
TRIBUNE to tho inspiration OF Presidential aspirant'
and to the pen OF one Of his henchmcn
To this Mr.. Parsons made prompt and adequate
response as follows:

interesting fact that The Buffalo Courier re-
cords itself as unreservedly opposed to the elgi-

election. Mr.. Cleveland made the same record

his earnest convictions on this vital point into
