HOLDS SUPREME SWAY.
PROF. KOCH THE LION OF THE
HOUR IN THE FATHERLAND.
Intense Interest Taken in His Discovery
at Home and Abroad-French Physi-
clans Alone Are Skeptical.

BERLIN, Nov. 15.-[Coprighted QS90)
by the New York Associated Press. ]
Prof. Koch holds supreme sway over
public interest. The publication OF his
statement at home and abroad has in
tensifed the excitement, and messages
are pouring in from all parts of Europe
and America. Many medical men, in
Guiding English and American physi-
clans, have been studying the process
under the aids of Prof. Koch. Interest
ing reports of progress of treatment in
many cases continue to be made. To
meet the pressure, another hospital is
about to be established.
The secret of the composition of the
lymph has been communicated to Koch 8
intimate colleagues; also to Prof. Weig-
art of Frankfort, DIR. Rast of the Hamburg
hospital, and Prof. Nothnagel, OF the
Vienna university. Nothnagel, in ad-
dressing his students on the matter,
said the discovery has far wider scope
than Jenner's discovery of vaccination,
and is perhaps the grandest feat in the
history of medical science.
Prof. Billroth holds that Koch's
method places it beyond doubt that a
remedy will be found before long for
cancer. The only criticisms on Koch's
discovery come from French medical
men, some of whom advise incredulity
until the nature of the remedy is fully
known, and scientific proof given of its
effectiveness.

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 15.-John Dillon,
M. P, was asked, tonight, if he thought
it true that Parnell had resigned the
leadership of the Irish party. He said
the author of the report was the Dublin
Express, the organ of the landlords and
all the opponents of the Irish parlia-

port as absurd.

lives 20 years; a wolf, 20; fox, IA to 16;
lions are long lived, the one known by

conquered Porus, king of India, he took
a great elephant, which had fought very
valiantly for the king, and named him
Ajax, dedicating him to the sun, and let
him go with this inscription: "Alexan-

to the sum-" The elephant was found
with this inscription $50 years after.
Pigs have been known to live to the

horse has been known to live to the age
of 60, but average from 25 to 80; camels
sometimes live to the age of 100; stays

Candy That Didn't Go Down.

George Harmon, manager OF Central
Music hall, is very fond of candy. Heis
seldom without box of bon bons on his
desk. George has many callers and they
all help themselves to his candy, so he
finds he does not get many sweetmeats
himself in the long run. Hepaysfor the
candy all the same, and this calling bust
ness has worried him for some time. The
other day he unbosomed himself to his
friend and neighbor, Mr.. Boles, of whom
he buys his candy, and he told him his
made up box of very inviting looking
bon bons from common bar soap. These
George put on his desk. The first man
to call was Will Shafer, of the Audi
forum hotel. He picked up bon bon,
said GOOD morning." spat it out, and
then Harmon said: "Good morning!
Have you used soapY Will said he had,
but he would never do it again. Joe
Oliver, of the Peoples, was the next Wis
itor. He took piece of the alleged candy
and then turned pale and went out.
But the victim Harmon was waiting
for his hated rival, Adonis George Fair,
of the Haymarket. Finally Fair dropped
in. "Ah. me boy, these look lovely" he
said as he bit into an alkaline bonbon.
For moment his face paled, and then,
rather than look like sucker, he bravely
downed the rest of the soapy candy.
He did not care to award Harmon the
laugh on him, and he made his bluff
stronger by calmly chewing q second one
of the bogus creams. This was too
much, however, and as he talked with
Harmon the soap began to get in its
deadly work, and Fair began to froth at
the mouth. He hastily rushed toward
West Side car, and was SO mad that he
thought the man was getting personal
who handed him handful announcing

Union" that evening. Now Harmon can

A Lesson in Manners,

That the manners of our fathers is not
ours is well enough understood, and the
phrase "of the old school" has come to
be used rather as reproach to the de-
generate present generation. An old
lady who belonged to the times when
courtesy was perhaps more general, as it
certainly was more elaborate, than it is
now, administered rather neatly rebuke
to lad who did not come up to her ideas.
She had known the boys father when
he was in Harvard, as now was the son,
and as the latter could hardly remember
his parents, who died in his infancy, he
was always eager to learn all he could
about them.
The youth was invited to call upon the
old lady, who is now beyond the term set
by the Psalmist for mans life, at coun-
try place one day last summer, and had
an interview with her upon the wide
veranda, where she was sitting when he
arrived. He lifted his hat, and then, re-
placing it upon his head, went ON talk
ing with the old dame, who regarded
him with looks of disapproval.
"Do look like my father" the young
man asked at length.
II cannot tell" the old lady replied,
dryly. II never saw him with his hat
on when he talked with youths

John Bulls ShreWdness,

England is gold standard country, and
has been since 1916. In 1873 4 her fnan-

in their retail trade which is TIE business of
about all of the working class. This silver
money, then, is for the working class ex-
clusively. Just stick pin here, till we

ing people are provided with silver coin
which is used in all small business transac-
tions. The money monopolists, the great
banking establishments use only gold in
adjusting their balances. This silver for
the use OF the common people is bought in
the United States principally at so to SO
per cent below par of their silver coin. The
same game is played in every European
nation and in the United States. Silver
bullion is declared by law not to be a money
metal like gold and is sold as merchandise
bought by the governments, as much of il
as needed coined into money which is passed
over to those who must use small amounts
OF money in their business-the working
people-and the balance sen. to Asiatic
nations where it is placed in the minis on n
par with gold. The large money dealers of
Europe and the United States have been
making 80 TO SO per cent profit on our silver
by this game, and also using it as lever to
put down the price OF our produce.

this money puzzle you will find it very
simple but very effective game. Each of
the countries above named have two classes
of money, gold and silver. The gold is
international money, that is, it is of the
same value in all Of those countries, whether
in coin or bullion. Each country has its
supply of silver money also, and the silver
coins OF each country are worth as much as
gold In their several countries, but will moi
pass in the other countries on Il par with
gold. AS Soon as an American dollar gets
into England, France or Germany il is
called bullion and is sold at price fixed
in London. The gold ring or money mo-
nopoly have an understanding among them
that Their money, gold, shall have uniform

governments to fix this arrangement by
law, while the common, laboring or "indus-

not fail to evince that an enormous
amount of foreign capital is invested
in this country. 1t is equally evil

of that capital finds its way into cir

To confirm this it is only necessary
to pursue the English finar cial

in which large territories have not
been acquired by foreign money and
in the interest of another country.
In Nevada alone an English syndi-
cate owns 65,569 acres of land, and
intends purchasing 1000 acres more
in the coming year. None of the

Not only is this so, but the country
is so much the smaller by every acre
sold to English capitalists, since
such land is not used to further
American prosperity. We are fast
returning to that state Of servitude
to Great Britain which characterized
us before the war of the Revolution.
We bid fair to be, in the future, q

politics in English channels. The
wealth of the United States ia far in
excess of that of England. We have
yet to see the highest development
of our agricultural and mineral re-
sources, while our manufacturing
possibilities are as yet in their in
fancy. With an abundance of wealth
an ingenious, progressive and in
ventive people, and natural advan-
tsges surprising those of any
country IN the world, why should
we suffer the enrichment of England
at our expense? Addison says:
