An Admirable Lecture by Rev. MIR.
Squires Last Evening at the Church
of the Messiah.
An appreciative audience listened to an
able and eloquent lecture on ''Xerxes' In
vasion of Greece" with description of
the battles of Marathon and Thermopyl@,
delivered by Rev. L. II. Squires last eve
ming in the vestry of the Church of the
Messiah. The speaker gave clear and ex-
ceedingly interesting account of the two
famous battles which have immortalized
Greece, and which were fraught with such
prodigious effects upon the progress of the
worlds civilization. The immense army
of Xerxes, which it would seem would
have overwhelmed Greece and the wonder
full valor and power of the Greeks and
their immortal defense of their native land
and the vast results upon the world, were
thrillingly depicted by the speaker and
aroused the deepest interest and enthu-
siasm of the audience. 1t was an admira-
BILE historical lecture and one which will
be long remembered. Preceding the lee
ture Miss Lille White rendered fine vo-
cal selection, accompanying herself at the
piano. Miss Carlene Curtis charmingly
gave recitation. She is q daughter of
Superintendent Curtis of the public
schools.

A Servant Girl Asphyxiated In Her
Room-She Probably Turned On
the Gas by Mistake-A Stranger In
the City.
A young woman, Theresa Schmeiser by
name, employed as domestic in the fam
lily of J. Sugenheimer, the Church street
merchant, was found dead in bed about
$50 O'Clock yesterday morning in her
room at Mr.. Sugenheimer's residence, No.
8 Fair street. Her death was due to
asphyxiation.
She retired about $50 o'clock Tuesday
evening in her usual good health and
spirits, and it is probable that her death
was due to her own carelsssness in turning
off the gas. It is thought that she proba-
bly, turned it fully off and then uncon-
sciously turned it part way on again.
As soon as the body was discovered
word was at once sent to DR.. Vishno, but
it was three-quarters Of an hour before
the physician responded The girl had,
however, undoubtedly been dead four or
Eve hours at the time when discovered.
Medical ETaminer White was notified and
gave permission for the removal Of the
body to the undertaking establishment of

and was q native of Bremen, Germany.
She had been in this country only since

THE LYMPH PATIENTS.


Two More Operations Made Yester-
day.
Two of the lymph patients submitted
cheerfully yesterday afternoon to another
incubation from DR.. Foster. The one ex-
empt was Mr.. Johnson, who is being treated
for lupus and needs to be inoculated only
at intervals of something like week or
ten days. In reply to the same old ques-
ton asked DIR. Foster has the usual reply,
all doing well and the experiments SO far
entirely satisfactory. The new supply of
tho lymph was needed and will make a
thorough experiment in each case possible.
DIR. Clemens, the elder, of Bridgeport,
sailed this week for Berlin to procure a
stock of DR.. Koch's lymph for the cure of
tubercnlous diseases. Dr. Clemens was a
olassmate at college of the physician who
is just now attracting world attention
as the discoverer of the remedy.
