EXPERIMENTING IN THE LYMPH
Pittsburg Doctors Buy Lots of 1t, but Are


Pittsburg Doctors Buy Lots of 1t, but Are
Cautious About Results.
Since the papers have thrown Koch's cure
over the rail it might be supposed that 1t
was abandoned, says Lucius Einholl,
traveller for large wholesale drug firm, in
the ST. Louis Glo5e-Democrat. 1t is really
gaining foothold among the medical pro-
fession only since the papers dropped it.
My firm is importing the lymph-importing
it in large quantities, and 1 am selling it
daily all over the country. I sell in guam
titles large in proportion to its value. You
must remember that an ordinary beer bottle
full of it is wortk about $4,000 You may
see it can not be used as beverage. To
tell the truth, almost every physician in
the country, who does anything in the way
of original research or experimentation, is
now quietly testing this lymph in his own
private practice.
1 have Just returned from Pittsburg,
where talked with 13 doctors who had
been trying it in the last three months on
from 1 to IS patients, the latter number oc-
curing in the practice of specialist in
pulmonary diseases. 1 cannot get from
them definite statements of their verdict as
to its value. The ludicrous uproar and
hubbub over its first appearance made them
extremely cautious in this particular. They
seem to think it worth carrying on extended
experiments with, since the firm which I
represent is sending out weekly something
over $40, 900 worth of the precious fluid. 1
have heard some very good reports of its
use, and should not be at all surprised if
next winter should witness renewal of the
the excitement over the remedy, but in
entirely different way. The very silence
that the best physicians maintain convinces
n,a of this

Jefferson Also The bear was ta1idermed

of Mr.. Jefferson on a still day.
Several present laughed at this. I
laughed with them, but it was like the hol-
low and simulated mirth of man who has
a bright little son of his own, but who is
compelled to laugh at the humorous re-
marks of another boy as given by his father.
THE CLICK OF THE KODAK.
Buzzard's Bay Is destined to be very
prosperous and well-known locality-possi-
bly, too much so to please those who have
gone there to make a quiet home. While
we sat on Mr.. Jefferson's porch several car
riages were driven in over the private drive,
came up timidly, turned so that the occu-
pants could get good view of the group, q
kodak lunch box clicked, then they drove
reluctantly away. AT such times it was
amusing to see Mr.. Booth and Mr.. Jefferson
apparently take it for granted that they
were the objects of the visitors curiosity.
1 allowed them to think so. They still
think so.

younger and more attractive than they had
been led to believe will always find in me

Mrs. Cleveland also looks more younger,
brighter and more charming than 1 had ex-
pected even to find her She still shows the
same elasticity of step and straightforward
glance of sincere and unstudied welcome
that made her the first lady in the land. In
closing, 1 may add that whatever Mrs.
Cleveland's age may be, she doesn't look it

The Late Rev. Owen Thomas,

In the death of the Rev. Owen Thomas D.
D., of Liverpool, the Calvinistic Methodist
denomination has lost its foremost preacher,
and in every quarter of the globe in which
the Welsh race is settled, the news of his
death will be received with profound regret.
The deceased divine was born at Holyhead,
in Anglesey, in 1872, of pious and humble
parents, and up to the age of early manhood
he worked as a stonemason. He began to
preach at the age of p, and his services were
soon in constant demand at preaching meet
ing5 and at the annual associations of his
denomination. For the last 4Oyears he stood
in the front rank of living preachers.
A well deserved tribute to the eloQuence
of the deceased was paid many years ago by
Charles Dickens. The novelist was on visit
to Bangor, North Wales, when DR.. Thomas
was preaching at the Calvinistic Methodist
Association held there. Without UNDER
standing u word of the sermon, Dickens saw
that the multitude of 5000 or 10000 persons
were spell-bound by the preachers words,
and he observed that he knew of but few
orators who could hold such a vast assembly
together. 7. X. ROBERTA.

walking. "HistW said Charles. sI will

out through the gathering twilight 1 saw
the head of the low, coarse brute droop and
fall from the log over which it had been

Then we all rushed forward to see him,
though hung back little, being only
guest, of course, and so little reticent,
also remembering, too, that one of my an
cestors who once went up to take the tenn
perature of wounded bear never came
home any more, though over 100 years have
now crept slowly by, Lorena- When we
got there we saw that the bear was dead.
We also saw string-a long. white string

The Coming General Election.

The recent speech of Mr.. Balfour, in which
he intimated that the next general election
would in all probability be fought in the
course of the next year, has reused both
political parties to action, and register"
and "organiZe" are the orders of the day.
In Wales, as in other portions of the King
dom, preparations for the coming fight are
being actively pushed on, and indications
are not wanting that the general election OF
1892 will prove to be one of the most notify
contested of modern times. The ConServa-
tives experience some difficulty in finding
candidates to contest Anglesey and North
and South Carnarvonshire against the sitting
members, Messrs L. Z. Lewis, j. Bryn-kob-
erts and William Rathbone. 1t is announced
that Mr.. Morgan Lloyd, q. c., who formerly
represented the Anglesey Boroughs as
Liberal, is disposed to champion the Union
ist cause in tnGt county.
In 1856 the sitting member (Olr. T. P. .Lewis)
obtained majority of 306 out of poll OK
7,l4S. The hercest fight of all will be that in
the CarnnrvOn bOroughS. where Sir John H.
PuleSton, the present member for Devon
port, seeks to oust Mr.. Lloyd George, who
was returned at bye-election a couple Of
years ago. Sir John PuleSton is not un-
known in the States, where he served on
Governor Curtin'S staff in the war; He was
also President for many years of the St.
Dayid's society at New York. a close con-
test is anticipated in the Denbigh boroughs
and also in East Denbighshire. In the latter
constituency Mr.. Osborne Morgan was re-
turued at the last election by q majority Of
26 only, out OF q poll, Of 7,046 his opponents
being Sir Watkin Wynn, 1.-The Prince in
Wales" So far as the Principality is con-
cerned the elections will probably be fought,
not on the Irish Home Rule question, but
that of the disestabhshment of the English
Church in Wales

others could get her they were welcome, and
he'd take his chances at her himself if he
happened to feel like it, and-but, devil
take it, he couldn't think of Marguerite so,
and he could not hoot down the impulse to
get her in time and save her.

have been had my coming" he shuddered
and glanced over the bank down to the
tumbling water.
Daisy shuddered, too Then, finding his
eyes upon her, fixed in glare of tenderness,
she fell into sudden embarrassment and
made faint move as if to 60, at which Kill
dare vocalized q single breath into sort OF
sob, wrung from the depths of his soul, and
catching her two hands, kissed them one
after the other.
"Don't be frightened. darling. Think !

into speaking more abruptly than should,

"What was it made you follow me?"

Poor Daisy, almost crying with distress,
here broke in tremulously: "Indeed, in
deed; don't understand you"
Kildare seemed to reflect a moment,
then he went on: Little one, have you
not lived long enough to learn that no one
can alone reach happiness?"
His artist soul was stirred at the uncon-
scious pathos of the girls innocent per-

rcoRREsPoNDENcE OF THE DIsPATCH.l
CARNARvoN, WALES, Aug. 12.-In the homo
rule bill, introduced into Parliamen by Mr..
Alfred Thomas, NJ. p, and backed by other
members of the advanced section of repre-
sentatives of Wales, definite form and SUBJ
stance has been given to the political aspira-
tions of the Cymry. In the first place the
bill provides for the appointments of a Secre-
tary Of State for Wales, to whom would be
transferred the jurisdiction of the Local
Government Board, the Commissioners Of
Woods and Forests and the Charity Com
missioners, and he would take over from
the Lord Chancellor the nomination OF
magistrates, to be selected from lists furn-
ished by the County and Borough Councils
A Welsh Education Department is also pro
posed, to put an end to the present system
of governing the schools OF Wales from Lon
don.
Probably the most important feature of
bill is the provision for a National Council.
This council would be specially concerned
in watching over the interests of the indus
trial population OF Wales, and among other
things it would have to inquire into the
management of Crown lands and minerals,
allotments, and the housing of the working
classes. The bill also authorizes the insti-
tution of q Welsh University, to which
would be affiliated the Colleges of Aberyst-
with, Bangor and Cardiff; the establishments
of Welsh National Museum, drawing the
nucleus Oh q collection from objects of in
terest relating to Wales which are ut pres
sent deposited in the British Museum; and
to deal with and pass all bills relating to
harbors, piers, railways, tramways and
cOgnate matters. By one section OF the press
the bill is described -as Every small
potatoes" but despite this it may safely be
said that it is by far the most comprehensive
Welsh bill ever brought into Parliament,
and its very introduction marks a new era
in the history of the Welsh national move
ment,

Charles Jefferson was the pioneer of Buz-

so good and his endurance so great. He
listened to an entire play of mine and then
walked two or three miles. He said he did
not mind to walk after hearing the play.
There is more humor about Mr.. Booth than
thought after seeing him as Hamlet. Ham
let he says, does not give him much chance
that way. I have offered to brighten mp
Hamlet for him on royalty and he is going
to think it over for few weeks. AS I
wrang his hand at parting he said he might
not do it the coming season and possibly
not the season after, so I will have plenty
of time to do it in satisfactory way.
BOOTH AND JEFFERSON AS HOSTS.
Mr.. Booth, have no doubt, is reserved
and quiet with strangers, and on short
acquaintance does not seek to be the life of
the party, but when he is among old friends
he is at his best, and his fine eyes often
twinkle in a way to make you forget the
Cordelia affair and the bad break made by
Hdnslet's mother.
Mr.. Jefferson is good host because he is
not host at all He does not restrain you
by taking you in charge constantly. His
air is that of one who gives you the key to
the premises and then says help yourself.
The etiquette of being q host cannot be
learned from books or bought with money.
Kindliness Of heart and unselfshness Of
purpose are the spinal column of hospital
ity. With them fried mush and mofasses
are toothsome, and without them magnif-

The Council of the University College at
Aberystwith is to be congratulated upon
its selection of principal. Probably no
worthier successor to Principal Edwards
could be found at the present time than Pro-
fessor T. F. Roberts, NJ A He has high
reputation as q scholar, and has had re.
markably successful career, both as student
and professor. A police constable's son, he
steadily worked his way from a village
school to the University College at Aberyst-
with and thence to Oxford. At the age OF
"a he was elected Professor of Greek at
Cardiff, and now, at the age of 81, he sue
ceeds to the principalship of the institution
in which a few years ago he won honors as q
student.
He is n member of the Baptist connexion,
and was a local preacher with that body as
the early age OF 10. During his stay at
Cardiff he frequently occupied the puIpits
of the different denominations in the neigh
borhOod. He is an ardent educationalist,
and has taken an active part in every move
ment Of recent years affecting the educa-
tional interests of the Principality. A
Welsh Nationalist of the latest school, the
national traditions which attach to Aberyst-
with are perfectly safe in his keeping.
Welshmen will continue to watch with in

and he may be assured of the best wishes
of his fellow countrymen in his new and re-

One of the Robbers Died Under the Knout
and Another Went to Siberia.
Philadelphia Press.l
Several attempts have been made to steal
the Russian crown from its repose in the
Kremlin at Moscow The latest was in the
reign of the Emperor Nicholas, about the
beginning of the Crimean war. A grand
mast er of the court named De Stackelberg
was said to be at the head of the conspiracy.
The actual robbers, two young men of good
families in Moscow, had obtained access to
the repository of the precious treasure,
when accidentally detected by sentinel.
They were captured and imprisoned
They confessed that De Stackelberg had
supplied them with information as to the
locality of the crown jewels, and how to OBJ
tain access to them, and that the intention
was to break up the crown, and dispose of
the gold In Europe, and the gems, so far as
possible, in Egypt and other Oriental coun-
tries, Grinevitch, tho one who had taken
the more active part in the attempted rob-
berry, died under the knout; Zakharjev
the other robber, was banished to farther
Siberia. De Stackelberg protested his inno-
cence, and there being no evidence against
him, other than the confession of the crimi
nails, he was dismissed from his post at
court, but not otherwise punished.

The Census in Wales.

The figures of the recent census In Wales
are not without interest to Welshmen in
other climes. Of the II Welsh counties no
fewer than show a decrease of population
as compared with that of 1881. In the other
three-Denbighshire, Carmarthenshire and
GlamorganShirC-there has been a consider
able increase, especially in the latter county,
which has now a population of 6S7,1G, as
against 51l, ,435 ten years ago. The popula-
ton of the whole of the II counties ut the
present time is ,5ls 933, against l362, 1913 in
ISL. The decrease in the nine counties is
partly accounted for by emigration to the
United States, Australia and other quarters
of the globe, and partly to the emigration OF
large numbers OF workmen to the Industrial
centers of England. The town of Cardiff,
with its contributary boroughs, has in.
creased in population from S5,S62 to ~, 1S3 IN
the ten years. 1t has now become the flrst
coal export port in the world, and its rf-
markable growth is one of the features ,f
the census results. One of the causes of tie
decreased population in counties such Rs
Carnarvon, Merioneth and Flint, which tre
rich in mineral resources, is to be found in
the shortsighted policy of the Crown and
private landlords in handicapping local en-
terprise by means of exorbitant royalties.
