PROF. KOCHS SEARCH FOR BACILlI,
ConsumptIves Now Undergoing
Treatment In a Berlin Hospital.
The Treatment (which II Is Hoped
Will Cure Consumption.
Stanley and His Men Telling Their
Stories of Trouble.

BERLIN, October 31.-Prof. Koch refuses
to say more on the the subject Of his discov-
cry Of the cure for consumption than has
been published in the National Zsitung. No
further particulars are obtanable In addi-
tion to those already cabled. except that me-
tallic salts are used in the preparation Of the
lymph. The lymph, having killed the bacil-
las, acts as a medium to re-sstablish the pa
TENTS health by its inherent healing powers,
and also fortifies him against the further In
vasiODs Of the bacillus.
The lymph is obtained by a long and ex
tremely difficult process, at great cost, and
tne cure will therefore be available only
for the wealthy unless furnished by the
governments OF the different coun-
tries for the general benefit Of humanity.
1t Is expected that long standing cases OF
consu nptI0n cannot be cured By the in
vention, as in such cases other parasites be-
sides the tuberculosis bacillus eat their way
into the lung, while Prof. koch'S lymph only
kills the bacillus proper. But IL kills IL i'm
mediately and stops the process Of e0nsump-
tiOn.
Prof. Koch refuses 10 answer any ques-
tiOn> as they interfere with the progress Of
his experiments. He says: Absolute quiet
Is peremptery for me. l am working, and
the whole world cannot be bothered by the
interests Of the individual"
The doctors who have seen its working
declare that the new invention Is superior to
the discovery of chlorofOrm.
Prof. Koch Is making experiments at the
present time In Prof. Senator's wards Of the
Charity Hospital In this city on eight slight
cases of consumption. The patients have
signed papers declaring that they will under
go the treatment of their own Tree will with
out holding Prof. Koch responsible IL the re-
suits should unfortunately prove fatal The
Professor has one assistant, who Is bound by
oath not to breathe to any one the slightest
Information OF anything he sees or hears.
From reliable source a reporter learns
that the great difference between the lymph
used to fight small pox and that used in the
battle against consumption Is that Prof
Koch inoculates only persons who are al
ready stricken with phthisls. This fact
proves 1t is not preventative, as the small
pox lymph Is.
The celebrated Prof. Leyden Is the only
person In Koch's confidence, and he has the
very greatest hope of the discovery. He said:
PROF. Koch would have remained silent If
his success were not assured"
Prof. Koch will announce his invention by
means OF an illustrated lecture, which will
be delivered before the Medical Society some
time within the next six weeks. The state
ment that the lymph contains metallic sub
stynces has been corroborated.

Spiking Logs and Endanserlng Life
to Spite a Mill Owner.
The Berlin Falls Dynamiters Likely
to Find Themselves in jail.
A Days Record of Crime IN our
own State.

BIDDEFoRE, October 31.-For some time
past, some malicious person has been spik-
ing the logs intended for the Deering mill so
that when the saws came in contact with the
metal they are destroyed. Much damage
has been done in this way. Yesterday one
of the Saco Lumber Company's gang saws
was knocked out by contact with spiked
log 1t occasionally happens that the differ
ent lumber companies get a log by mistake
which does not belong to their drive and as
the mistake is not discovered until the log
is hauled up to saw they saw it up and pile
1t at one side so that the owner can get 1t.
1t happened yesterday that one of Deer
ing's logs got into the Lumber company's
mill and the gang was chewing it up merrily
when the saws struck spike and In an in
slant eleven of them were ruined.
Millmen have different opinions as to
where these logs are spiked. Some think
thatlt is done up river while others think
that the mischief Is done at the boOms. One
argument in favor of the latter is that every
spike yet struck has been bright and new
without sign of rust upon it.
1t is almost impossible to tell which logs
are spiked until the saws find it out, as the
spikes are set in deep enough so that the
wet wood closes over, leaving only a dent
which appears hardly any different from
the marks made by the "cant dogs" and
handspikes. Mill men say that serious
injury Is likely to result to the men running
the gang any time when the saws strike a
spike, although thus far the saws have re-
ceiVed all the damage.

TO AWAIT HIS DEATH,
A Leper Found In Chester, Pa,
Doomed to Isolation.

CHESTER, Penn. October 31.-A genuine
case of leprosy has been discovered here.
and the city is consequently very much ex-
cited. DIR. Frank j. Evans. one of the lead
ing physicians of the place. received a call
from Swede named John Andersen last
week, and not being able to diagnose the
case to his own satisfaction he sent the man
to the University Hospital, Philadelphia.
Provost DR.. VIM. Pepper and DIR. Judson
Deland examined the man ana called in DIR.
During, specialist on skin diseases, who
came to the conclusion that 1t was a case of
interstitial leprosy, which is mild form Of
the disease. After they had found out the
nature of the disease tho Philadelphia ply
scians sent the man back to Chester, stating
that they had no accommodations for leper
and advising the Chester board of health to
take care of him. This put the latter in a
quandary, and yesterday they made des-
perate effort to get him off their hands, but
without success. 1t was then decided TO
send him to the county almshouse at Lima,
Penn, when he will be confined in sepa-
rate building until death relieves him of the
l0athSOme disease.
Andersen came from Sweden about nine
years ago and was a sailor on an American
coastlng steamer until the time of the biz
zard in March, 1887, during which he was
subjected to great deal of exposure. This
decided him to leave the sea and he wan
dered about the country for time and final
ly settled in Chester.
He got work as laborer, but soon after
his arrival here went to doctor for the
treatment of what was then thought to be
psora, a skin disease, but in the light of later
events it might have been the first symptoms
of the dreaded leprosy. he returned to his
work, at which he continued until week
ago. when he went to the doctors and heard
his terrible doom.
The disease has shown itself by swelling
of the skin all over the body, but as the man
has robust constitution it may be many
years before he succumbs to the deadly
maladv,

ASTOR.
A Man Who s'Knows How TO Keep
HoteI," and what He Has TO say-A
Timely Suggestion for the Ladies.

The Astor House, New York. has been noted
for years as one of the standard hotels in America
indeed 1t was the pride of John Jacob Astor, who
personally superintended its erection. That
1t is conducted in the finest manner there can be
no doubt The chief steward, Mr.. Thomas L.
Allen, recently made the following outspoken
statement:
GAS chief steward of the Astor House, New
York, l have had used in our hotel 'Thepure' Bak-
ing Powder. 1t makes lighter, sweeter and more
palatable bread and cakes than anything have
ever tried, and it is superior to anything in the
market that know Of 1t can't be beaten"
Such a statement, and from such source,
shows beyond question the great value to all
housekeepers of "Thepure" Baking Powder,
which, although new powder has become so
popular. 1t is indispensable in a hotel where the
most delicate pastry and choicest dishes are pro-
duced does it not stand to reason that the same
results can be secured In the home by the use of
the same pure powder? Would 1t not be well to
try 1? The household cook. will fully appreciate
its greater value the first time she makes use of
it. The chefs of the prominent hotels all speak
in the highest terms o. it and use it in pre- erence
to any other Ladies' prominent in society have
endorsed its excellence with their names. If
you are in doubt as to which Is the best Baking
Powder, or If what you are using now does not
give entire satisfaction try "Thepure."

A FLAW IN THE MAINE.
One OF Her Steel Propeller Braces
Found To Re Defective.

New YORK, October 31.-What borders on
CONSERVATION reigns at the navy yard.
When, on Tuesday last, Chief Engineer
Melville, Naval Constructors Hichborn and
Mintonye and Passed Assistant Engineer
Perry made survey of the mammoth new
cruiser Maine they discovered fatal defect
that it will cost a large sum of money and
considerable time to remedy.
One of the steel braces-known as struts
which help to keep in position the ponderous
propeller was found to have flaw. 1t was,
of course, condemned, but its condemnation
will not, 1t Is thought, interfere with the
launching of the Maine on November IS, as
it is possible to put in new strut, though at
added expense, with the vessel in the dry
dock. The existence of the defect escaped
the vigilance of the experts who tested the
steel when it was cast at Thurlow, Pa. The
flaw is supposed to be due to the presence of
air, which made a cavity in the braces at
casting. 1t is not regarded as surprising
that it should have been declared sound by
the experts, as such defects are extremely
difficult of discovery,
