An Interview From the Pleasant Sub
urb of Mckee's Rocks.
A LADY'S NOTABLE EXPERIENCE.

In the little borough Of McKee's Rocks,
one Of our pleasantest suburbs, and directly
opposite CHARTERS station, on the Pittsourg
and Lake Erie, is three-story brick house
the residence of Mrs. Annie Smith. IL
was there that the writer found that lady,
and during the course of the interview Mrs.
Smith said:
81 always had more or less cold in Febru-
ary and March, but at such times almost
everybody would complain Of cold in the
head, and I paid little attention to my own.
In later years. however, 1 caught cold more
easily than ever, and my head began to give
me a great deal of trouble. There would be
a dull, heavy feeling in my forehead-not
exactly pain, but distressing feeling that
it is difficult to describe. My nose would
be stopped up, first on one side and then on
the other would have a raw, uncomfort-
able feeling in the threat, and would al
ways be hawking and raising and trying to
clear it. Continual snufing and blowing
and sneezing made me ieel miserable and
dislike to be in any ones presence.
after time the trouble seemed to ex-
tend to the lower part oil my throat and my

DISTRESSINGLY TAME.


ly Anything Doing In stocks - The
Sugar Trust Loses ITS Grip-A
Dull Close af Lowest Prices.
NEW YORK, July 6-In railroad stocks there
was nothing doing to-day outside of the Grang-
ers. Lake Shore, New England and Reading.
The market opened very tame, but there was
an improved feeling In the room, and first
prices were again generally from u to u per
cent higher than last evenings figures, with
Lake Shore leading in the advance. There was
q great disinclinatlon to operate, however,
pending further developments in the railroad
situation. and even the traders were dong little
in the market.
The brokers for the larger bears, however,
continued to sell freely, and the result was
weak and declining market from the opening
though the movements lacked vim. and except
in one or two stocks, small fractions marked
the extent of the fluctuations during the ses-
sion. There was some speculation as to the
position of the Chicago party upon the market,
but the -eneral opinion was that 1t had been
lately changed.

In botn the extreme fuctuatlon was per cent,
but they received lightly from the lowest price
and closed with fractional loss Atchison.
New England and Reading were also promi-
nent for animation, but their movements were
entirely insignificant. Among the trusts sugar
opened up fractionally higher and afterward
advanced slightly, but later lost all of the i'm
provemsnt and something In addition.
There was marked strength, however, in dis
tillers' trust, and 1t rose to 43H. The rest Of
the market was absolutely devoid of feature,
and 1t finally closed dull and heavy to weak, at
about the lowest prices Of the session. There
were no important changes, except the advance

Railroad bonds were stagnant to-day. and

DisIufection by Steam.

The recent researches Of Esmarch seem to
indicate that the destruction of bacteris by
steam does not depend so much on the temper.
ature as upon the degree of saturstion OF the
steam. II there is much air with it. the power
of destroying organic Rerms is very much d.
minished. In the course of some experiments
on the spores of the anthrax bacillus it was
found that while super-heated steam which
was not in q condition of saturation at q tenn
perature Of lz0o oentigrade was unable to
destroy the spores in half an hour, saturated
steam at 1902 destroyed them in from hve to
ten minutes. This information will have to be
