Scrofula Sores.
4" My adopted boy, aged Il years, suffered
terribly from scrofula sores on his leg, which
spread till they at one time formed one great
sore from the calf OF his leg up to his thigh,
partially covered with seab, and diseharging
matter continually. The muscles became
contracted so that his leg was drawn up and he
could hardly walk We tried everything we
could hear Of, without success, until we be-
gan giving him Hoods Sarsaparilla. In just
a month, after he had taken two-thirds of
bottle, the sores entirely healed, his leg is per
fectly straight, and he
Can Walk as Well as Ever.
Hoods sarsaparlla is the best medicine I
ever saw for scrofulous humor. 1t has Done
its work more than satisfactorily" WILLIAM

PREVENTING THE EPIpEM1Cs.

Once more the State Board of Health
arouses the public to the constant danger
from the pollution of the streams of West
ern Pennsylvania. Yet so busy is the age,
so intent are people upon the most
immediate trifles to the exclusion of vital
things, that this same Board which has
done splendid sentinel service, warning
against epi0cmicS and reaching out for the
roots OF those diseases which affect CON-
munities, could only get beggarly $1,000
for the prosecution of Its work from the
last Legislature. This, too, when the
same Legislature was scattering hundreds
of thousands upon institutions and func-
tions OF narrower scope.
1t is because the State Board of Health,
with scarcely any means, has within few
years done signal service in moving against
just such sources of dangers as the defle-
ment of the streams, that attention may
now opportunely be directed to the proper
scope OF such Board. The Board of
Michigan reports diminution of 10000
deaths in the annual mortality lists of that
State, since it began its effective work for
the prevention of contagious epidemics.
Texas appropriates 100000 per year to its
Board; Michigan, We believe, $4,000, and
New York, S35, 900.
An ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure. The special influence which de-
feated proper provision for the Pennsyl-
vania Board of Health at the last session
of the Legislature was that of the slaughter
houses, which feared that their use of the
streams would be interfered with. This
was senseless opposition, as the Board had
already pointed out to the slaughter houses
how their offal could be chemically de-
stroyed. But the opposition was effective
all the same. The next time the question
comes up the public will take deeper in
terest in il. The Board is well organized
for efficiency. 1t is a sign Of the broad
spirit of its members that, though four of
them are physicians of the allopathic
school, they did not hesitate this week to
elect as President DR. James II. McClel-
land, of this city, who is one of the most
prominen5 of homeopaths. WheE its
work comes before the Legislature here
after the public will know enough to prod
up the Solons to more appreciative mood.
1t is better to pay for the prevention of
epidemics than to have to open personal
accounts with doctors, druggists, under
takers and cemetery companies.

tured the five young Nassamonian explor-
ers;' that "even so long as forty centuries
ago they were known as pigmies;" that
:'on every map since Hekataeus' time, 500
years B. c., they have been located in the
region of the Mountains of the Noon"
that they have roamed "from the Niger
banks" to the place where he found them,
and that they "are known as Bushmen in
Cape Colony, as Watwa in the basin of the
Lulungo, as Aka in Monbuttu, as Balia

Lunae Montes."
Here are no less than five distinct recog-
nitions in less than a page of reading mat
ter of the knowledge of the dwarfs by
others than Stanley, being % a mention
of the ancient explorers who encountered
them; (2) reference to their presence in
the literature of antiquity; (3) credit to
ancient and modern maps for locating
them about where they were found; az
a statement of their having been previously
known to exist on the banks Of the Niger;
and 90 giving the names by which they
are known in six localities, two of which
are outside the field of Stanley's explora-
tions.
1t is hard to see how anyone who has
read this paragraph:can come to the con-
clusion promulgated by Justice Daily and
the Ledger. If it 5is the practice Of the
Justice to conden6 people on 'fmpres-
sions" so unfounded as this one, we pity
those who have to defend themselves
against accusations in his court.

DISCUSSING THE LYMPH.

Great inte rest is aroused by the report
of Dr. Painter upon Koch'S lTmpt. pub
lished in Yesterdays DISPATCH Along
with othe: recent statements, it goes to
show that ths lymph has fallen far short
ot the original prospectus. But it is well
to remember that the original prospec-
tuS owed most of its glowing anticipa-
tiJns and promises to the hope and imagi-
nation OF the followers O. DR.. Koch, rather
than to his own utteranceS, which were
extremely conservative.
The suggestion is made, and it seems
plausible and likely to commend itself TO
the thoughtful, that the trouble with the
lymph 50 far may pertain to the manner
OF its administration rather more than to
any radical fault in the principle. 1t is an
animal poison introduced to counteract a
similar poison II the human system The

NO CO-EDUCATI0N AT YALE.
Women May Pass the Examinations, but
They Can't Enter College.

Women May Pass the Examinations, but
They Can't Enter College.
NEW HAVEN, July 1O-The announcement
that the only certificate granted by Yale for
a century to a woman for admission to that
institution has just been issued to Miss
Irene Colt, daughter of General J. B. Colt, of
Norwich, needs some explanation. 1t is true
that Miss Colt. who is very bright young
lady, successfully passed the ordeal of the
Yale examination papers. She passed at
the Yale examination held at Norwich,
nevertheless she cannot enter Yale.
There is no law to prevent young lady's
paying the Yale examination fee and testing
her ability to cope with the examination
papers. Yale, however, has not thrown
down the bars which exclude the sex from
her classic shades, except as regards her art
school, where the classes have for years been
almost exclusively women.
On inquiry from various of the college pro-
fessors tonight it is learned that the Yale cor
poration's position on this subject remains
Unchanged. President Dwight sailed on the
Britannia for Europe this week, but other
eminent Yale men express the belief that
Yale's policy in this respect will not be
altered for years.
1t is thought not improbable, Eowerer, that
the Harvard University annex plan may
find favor eventually; Cornell, Ann Arbor,
the co-educational order. Mereovet Miss
Colt is not the only woman to successfully
pass an examination Tor 1ale. In 1886 great
sensation was created from the fact of the
admission of Miss Alicia r. Jordan to the
Yale Law Department.
Yale's faculty found itself powerless to
prevent it, as on inspection of the rules it
was found that any person who had been
admitted to the bar was entitled to enter
the department. Miss Jordan had been so
admitted, so she came in, and she graduated
successfully and was awarded a diploma
with the other victors in her class.
Yale changed the bylaws without delay
when the flaw was discovered, and Miss
Jordan is the only woman who ever grad
uated from Yale outside of the Art School
Department..

CONDEMNATION BY IMPRESSIONS.

A new source of complaint has been dis
covered against Stanley Africanus. Chief
Justice DAILY, in letter read before the
New York Historical Society, practically
accuses Stanley of representing in his
work that he is the original discoverer of
the dwarfs of Central Africa. That he
might not do Stanley injustice, the Ju-
dicial critic inquired of others the i'm
preston produced by reading Stanley's
book. The verdict thus obtained is that
Stanley $50 far Sights his predecessors as
to leave the impression that in this respect
nobody went before him. Therefore

omit the mention of Du Chaillu's and

His Wedding Tour,

Some years ago, while looking at the clock
at Strasburg, said Mr.. Depew in his Balti-
more lecture, 1 noticed large party of
American tourists making the rounds of
that celebrated ancient city. was told by
one Of them that, while most of the visitors
hugely enjoyed the trip, there was, by way
of contrast, one among them whom nothing
wonderful in nature and art could touch.
The landscape had no charms for him; the
Alps did not impress him; the beauties of
Paris and Vienna did not evoke his ecstacies.
Nothing that he saw had the slightest effect
of drawing out the least expression of admi-
ration. Weeks and weeks passed. and the
rest of the party were dumfounded at his
lack of appreciation of the sights which met
them on all sides.
Finally it was decided to send a committee
of four-two gentlemen and two Iadies-to
his ROOM and inquire what it was prevented
his enjoyment OF the trip.
"Old man." said one of the committee
"tell us what is the matter. If anyone in the
party has displeased you we will dismiss
him, if any wrong has been done you we
shall see that it is remedied but do tell us
what the trouble is, for we are trying hard
to please you"
s'Well," said the unappreciative tourist "I
do not care to say anything about my
trouble wanted to keep it to myself, but
as YOU have asked me may as well out with
it. The matter is just this: This is my we'd
ding trip-the first wedding trip L ever
made-and I'm so blamed poor that did
not have money enough to take my wife
with mel"

AN IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT.

Mr.. John W. Bookwalter, who first
came to public notice some years ago as
an unsuccessful Democratic candidate for
Governor, is now attracting attention by
an enterprise which if successful will give
him fame as effecting philanthropic rev.
olution. Mr.. Brookwater's aim is to
change the social condition of the agricul-
tural class; and he gives very good reasons
for the step he is taking.
1t is beyond question that leading, if
not the chief cause, of the drift of farming
population to the towns and cities is the
isolation and loneliness of the average
farm house, and the desire of those who
seek to escape from that life for social
contact with larger number of their fel-
lows. Mr.. Brookwalter proposes to
remedy this by grouping together the
dwellings of farmers, not necessarily on
their farms, so that farmers of given dis
trict, say of from one to four square miles,
shall live within quarter of mile
with each other. The groups can hardly
be called villages; but they will be large
enough to constitute a social center. If
this effected no more than increased social
intercourse it would be an advance over
the present condition. But it would also
afforda center for the interchange of ideas,
and would eventually lead up to the union
of these centers in combined action, such
as the purchase of farming machinery be-
yond the means of individuals 1t would
carry out and extend the work for which
Oranges and Alliances are really valuable
that of bringing farmers together, inter-
changing ideas, and uniting them in action
for their common interest.
Mr.. Bookwalter is giving practical
trial to his idea on lands he owns in Ne
braska, where he builds houses in settle
ments of this sort, and lets or sells them to
farmers on easy terms, providing them
with town halls and circulating libraries,
and thus enhancing materially the attrac-
tions of country life. Doubtless he ex-
poets pecuniary return in the improve
ment and sale of his lands; but the social
experiment will have value far greater
than any money-making feature of the pro-
ject.

Other Stories.
A Gainesville, Tex, special to the st. Louis
Globe Democrat records a charming little
romance. Eight years ago Hattie A. Stats
and Frank A. Lynch attended school in Pull
aski county, Ill. The girl was II and the boy
16 years of age. One afternoon he accom-
panied her part of the way home from school
and told her of his plans. His purpose was
to go to Pittsburg, where he would enter some
iron establishment and prepare himself for
the battle of life as mechanic. He had no
taste for farming. Some day he would return
to the neighborhood and claim her as his
bridei the girlish love was not changed. One
year later the parents Of Hattie died and she
was placed in an orphan asylum, where she
remained for several years. She finally
secured employment as help in private
family in Springfield. A few weeks ago she
came to Gainesville from Illinois to accept
employment in a private family. Three days
after her arrival she received letter, for
warded from Springfield, post-marked Bir-
mingham, Ala. 1t was from Frank. In
quiries among former friends and acquaint-
ances in old Pulaski secured him her address
in Springfield. He was now man able to
provide, and, if she SO desired it, he would
come to redeem the parting promise He
had gone from Pittsburg to Birmingham
few years ago.
Hatties answer reminded Frank that eight
years had interviewed since they parted. 1t
was long time and vast changes in per-
sonal appearance took place between boy
hood and manhood. and girlhood and
womanhood. Before she could answer his
question and accept his offer of 1888 he must
see heras she is. Her removal from Spring
field to Gainesville, and the circumstances
under which it was made, was quickly told.
Yours as ever" preceded the signature,
which was followed by the inevitable post
script. 1t was confined to the sentence:

THE COMMITTEE AND THE BENCH.

The Republican County Committee will
to-day decide whether to follow the Dem
ocratic example and indorse Governor Pat
tiSon's appointments to the new Bench in
:his county, or run a straight-out party
ticket. The local leaders, though they
do not like the Governor as an official any
too much, seem disposed to concede that
the upsetting of his ticket would be task
Of so many complications and so doubtful
of result that it is evident from their out
givingS some Of them are very much indis-
posed 10 undertake it.
The ultimate issue very likely lies out
side OF the committee, and seems to rest
much more with the appointees them
selves. Standing two Republicans and one
Democrat, being unchallenged as to fit
ness. and having the Democratic indorse-
ment, as We. as whatever force there is in
tae sentiment that party lines
should not be too tightly drawn
upon the Judiciary, it is evident
that, if they hold together, uncommonly
strong partisan nominations would be re-
qui-ed TO make a show against them.
Should they so into a convention CON-
pCti1C with new material, or pull apart,
some of them might get lost in the shuttle.
Pulling together, the strict partisans
would have an exceedingly doubtful en-
tcrp-ise in trying to dislodge them.
Il is mainly to these considerations that
the Governors ticket, as g whole, is indebted
fer the iEdiSposition of some of the most
prominent Of the local Republican partisans
to oppose it. In new departure Judge
hcnn cGy would under any circumstances
be fsr Trom an easy man to beat. Should
the Republican Judges stand with him
tic chances of ousting any would be yet
more slim and uninvitiGg.
Nevertheless the situation for partisan
workers is a delicate one. If the commit
tee iRdoTse the appointments it will ap-
pareGtiy be yielding possibility of getting
one more Judgc-and it goes hard with
partisan organizations to concede anything
10 the other side-cven the slimmest
chance
