She was accompanied by j. l.. Price, who
represented the other party to the wager,

LA GRIPPE MICROBES.
A ChiClS0 Physician Finds Them In The
Atmosphere.

CHICAGO, March 27.-Dr W. G. Gentry of
this city has secured in a novel way what
he thinks is undoubtedly a microbe of la
grippe. The doctor has been studying this
peculiar influenza since its appearance over
year ago. He found that thirty-four
years ago and again sixteen years ago la
grippe was epidemic among human beings,
and that seventeen years it attacked horses,
causing the well-remembered ''epizootic"
epidemic.
DR.. Gentry was inclined to believe that
the earth at intervals passed through a
stretch of space impregnated with what
astronomers call-"star dust" Several davs
ago it occurred to him that he might trap
some of the dust or microbes. Carefully
polishing a blank microscope-slide he took
1t out of doors and passed it through the air.
Placing the slide under his microscope he
counted seven heretofore unidentified mi
crobes in the instrument. He had the slide
mounted, and then obtaining some microbes
from a patient afflicted with la grippe,
found them identical in every respect with
those he caught in the air.
The microbes as described by DIR. Gentry
are generally of r0u nd form, varying occa-
sionaly in outline. but always distinctly
marked by series of lines surrounding
them. Radlating from these lines are 9th
ers which resemble fine, irregular hairs.

CONVERTED TO CATHOLICISM.
George LathrOp, the Author, and His Wife
Change Their Greed.

BosToN, March 27.-The Pilot to-day an
nounces that George Parsons Lathrop, the
author, and his wife, VINO is daughter of
Nathaniel Hawthorne, have become Catho-
lies. They were received into the Catholic
Church on March 18th by Rev. Alfred
Young OF the Pauist Fathers, whose church
is on West Fifty-ninth street, New York,
and were confirmed by Archbishop Corrigan
on March 21st.
In letter to James Jeffrey Roch, the ed
itor of the Pilot, Mr.. Lathrop says: 'No
one ever suggested our becoming Catholics
or tried to persuade US, although a number
of our friends were Catholics. The attempt
to inform ourselves about Catholicism was
conducted with the same impartiaity, the
same candor and receptivsness that we
should use toward any other subject upon
which we honestly desired to form just
conclusion. Notwithstanding that educa-
tion had surrounded us with prejudice our
mind was convinced by clear and compre-
hensive reasoning. While the reasoning of
other religious organizations continually
shifts and wavers, leaving their adherents
to fall into ratiOnalism and agnostic enial,
the reasoning of the Catholic Church led
directly into sublime and inspiring faith.
I" This union of solid reasoning and lumi-
nous faith we could not discover elsewhere.
served that expositions of doctrine were
presented by the Catholic Church in posi-
tive manner with confident appeal to the
intellect, and the replies to attacks made by
adversaries impressed us as remarkably
calm, thorough and free from malice or abuse
aud imbued with a profound spirituality,
strongly contrasting with the prevailing
tone OF those who resist her claims.
' The church revealed itself to us as
broadly liberal and gentle toward all man
kind, thus worthly iustifying, in our esti-
nation, those titles of Catholic and of
mother church, by which she has always
been known. Moreover, the present active
and incessant spirituality of the church
does not stop short with this life or end in
that pagan acceptance of death as an I'M
passabe barrier which we meet with in
Protest tant denominations. 1t links together
religious souls of all periods whether now on
earth or in the world beyond by a COM
munion which is constant and transcends

a Curl Gus Blunder That Escaped Detection for

Boston. March 27.-The Governor makes
public announcement, in the shape of an
official proclamation" which makes out
that the people of Massachusetts have been
laboring under a curious mistake for fully
century. Perched up in the air in the Doric
hall of the State House, where it has looked
pIacidly down on the pride and intellect of
the Bay State, is a marble bust which has
ever been regarded, and is so named in the
guide and school text books, to be
a bust of John Adams, made during
his lifetime. Two years ago some
local antiquarian denied that the bust was
Adams, claiming 1t was that of Washing
ton. He was sharply taken to task, and
such a heated controversy was started that
Governor Ames FASTENED 10 appoint COM
mittee OF investigation. 1t took long time
to trace down the statue, and two years
elapsed during which the commission was
almost forgotten. but they bobbed up this
afternoon with voluminous and interest
ing report of their work. proving conclu-
sively that the bust was that of Washing
ton, and for all these years Massachusetts
has been wOrsbipiIg at n false shfine.
The statue is mentioned in numerous school
and official documents, and 1t will cost some
thousand dollars to correct the error.

but the assassin succeeded in escaping in
the darkness. Some people who witnessed
the shooting declare that the assassin was
accompanied by three other men. The
greatest excitement prevails. The police
surmise that it was intended to assassinate
Premier Stambouloff, and that Salabaschiff
was mistaken for MN in the darkness.
The personnel of the Government of Bul-
garia are: Prince Ferdinand of Sake
Coburg, who was born February &C. 1861,
and elected ruler July Z, 1887; NJ. Stam-
boulnff. Premier and Minister Of the lutte
rior; Salabaschiff, Minister of Finance and
Public Works; DR.. G. Stransky, Minister
of Foreign Affairs; Colonel M0utkOwroff,
Minister of War; NJ. Turtcheff, Minister of
Justice, and NJ. Jivkoff, Minister of Public
instruction. In February, 1890, conspiracy
was discovered in Sofia which had for its
object the seizure of the person of Prince
Ferdinand and the several Ministers and
the assassination Of Stambouloff and Colonel
Moutkowroff. At the head and front Of the
conspiracy was Major Paniza and former
officer OF the Russian army named kalap-
kow. The leaders were arrested, and in
July following Major PanitZa was con-
demned and shot
1t was Premier Stambouloff who pushed
Ferdinand 10 the dangerous extreme of sign
of which Ferdinand was compelled to fly
from Sofa TO Vienna. Stambouloff then re-
vived the Turkish law that all persons con-
demned 10 death be hanged to the telegraph
poles in order to serve as examples to the
people. 1t seems this law was so Effective
that at the end Of few weeks order was re-
established, but every telegraph pole in the
country had been used. 1t has never been
decided whether too many prisoners had
been hanged or whether there were not
enough poles. There are those who regret
that PanitZa missed his aim and that this
bloody Austrian regime has not been over
thrown. StanbOuloff has been Premier of
Bulgaria for several years. His tyranny is
worse than death. There is no justice,
as the magistrates are bought and sold, and
there is no liberty, as, for the slightest pre-
text, even without motive, the citizens can
be thrown Into prison. Should Ferdinand
be oveTthrown by sedition. Austria will in
terfere TO replace him on the throne, and
Chen Russia will declare war. Should he
be able to suppress an insurrection by
bloodshed Russia will interpose in the name
of Slayonic fraternity, and then Austria will
declare war. The end of Ferdinand's reign
will place the Bulgarian question in a new
light-the great struggl that will decide
whether the Orie mt will be Teutonic or
SlaVonlc.

NORFOLK Va.), March 27.-The Nor
wegGn bark Dictator, from Pensacola, Fla,
for England, with lumber and carrying a
crew Of fifteen and the captains young wife
and three-year-old boy, came ashore in a
strong easterly gale this morning two miles
north of the Virginia Beach Hotel The
weather was so thick that the vessel was
not seenIuntil O'Clock, and then she was in
the breakers quarter of a mile from shore.
The crews from the two life-saying stations
were promptly on hand, but could not use
the boats because of the tremendous surf.
They tried repeatedly to fire the life line
over the ship, but the guns could not deliver
the lines so far.
The ship finally succeeded In getting a
line ashore, tied TO barrel, which the surf
carried in. A breeches-buoy was quickly
rigged and sent out, but unfortunately the
sailors seemed ignorant of its use, and the
work was delayed until the life-savers wrote
instructions and sent them to the ship in a
bottle over the lifeline. The crew then pro-
ceeded to carry out the directions. The first
man was delivered ashore in eight minutes,
and seven others were rescued before sun
set, four coming in a life-boat, which was
capsized in the surf. They were rescued
with great difficulty In half-dead condi-
tion. The beach WAS lined with people from
country houses and the hotel, and to the
spectators the anxiety and suspense was
awful
AT nightfall there were still nine persons
on board. including the captain, his wife
and little child. The captain urged his wife
all day to take the buoy ami 90 ashore, but
she steadfastly refused to leave her husband
and child, as only one could be brought at a
time.
Soon after dark the bark went to pieces
in tremendous sea, and the captains wife
and six sailors were lost. just before the
ship broke up the captain jumped into the
sea with his son strapped to his back and
reached the shore alive, but the boy was
lost, making a total of eight lives.
The list of the saved is: Captain J, H.
Jorgenson, Second Mate Anderson and
seven sailors. The captain reports he was
trying to make Hampton Roads, having
been disabled by a hurricane since the 10Th
inst. For four DAYS the sun had not been
seen and the weather was so thick last night
that they struck the breakers before they
could see the coast.

Salisbury Endeavoring to Bring About Con-

federation With Canada.
OTTAWA, March 2T.-lt is learned from
reliable quarters that as partial solution
of the Newfoundland question, Lor Sails
bury is using every effort to bring about
confederation Of that colony with the Do
minon. A member of the Cabinet said to-
night that he believed Newfoundland,
would be great acquisition TO the Dominion
and the Government would gladly welcome
any reasonable proposition by which a union
might be attained. The main obstacle in
the way Of a federation would be
the determined opposition many leading
merchants Of Newfoundland would offer, as
it would destroy the monopoly they now
enjoy in trade. Spe aking OF the proposed
commercial treaty recently negotiated be-
tween the United States and Newlound-
land, he said nothing more disastrous
could befall the commercial welfare Of the
Dominion than the ratification OF such
a treaty independent of Canada. 1t was for
this reason that Sir John interfered and
used his influence with Lord Salisbury in
defeating the scheme of the New
foundlanders. The ratification of this treaty
with Newfoundland, he believed, would
have precluded the possibility OF the Do
mini0n carrying on successful negotiations
al Washington, as by it the United States
would have secured maUyof the concessions
they now want from Canada, without hav-
ing to make corresponding sacrifices. This,
he said, applied more particularly to the
fisheries.

Stanley arrived here yesterday to begin his

elaborate preparation in the way of numer-
Gus dates had been made. He was at the
hotel, but such was the GOODNESS and even
hostility that was shown him by the people
that he expressed surprise. and Major Pond,
his manager, in wonder was debating
whether or not to hold the proposed lecture
tonight when the mystery of the dislike
was solved by the receipt of telegram from
Austin from the advance agent, George Nc
Kearn, saying: "Do not lecture. l have
Cancelled all Texas dates. Mr.. Stanley will
be insulted if he appears in public in this
State"
Being wired for reason the answer came
back: STANLEY deserted from the Con-

When questioned Mr.. Stanley acknowl-
edged that at the outbreak of the war he
was semi-of1icially connected with the Con-
federate Government, but went North as he
saw the cause was hopeless.
The Southern people have never forgiven
his abandonment of their sacred cause, and
this explains the ill-feelirg expressed toward
him.
