A German horticultural journal SAYS
that one OF tho iatesf inventions in mcdi-
cine is the use of cold greenhouses in

ing yellow fever. This disease, il states,
can be- conquered If one removes to those
elevated regions in which oaks will grow.
This fact recently inspired celebrated
Cuban physician with the idea of reduc-
ing the temperature of sick rooms by
artificial means, and wonderful cures
resulted. Now it is proposed that, in
districts liable to the epidemic, each town
shall erect great glass house in which
plants of cold and temperate regions may
be grown, the temperature being artific-
tally cooled instead of heated, as in our
greenhouses, and that they shall he de-

BRITisH justice Is one OF the most

OF the latest cases which have at
tracted attention Is that of man ia

unlucky man was hauled before a

THE country will watch with a
great deal of interest the fight which
the citizens of Baltimore are now
waging to secure lower telephone
rates. If they prevail the effort to
reduce tolls to a more equitable basis
will spread to other parts OF the coun-
try. Another two years at the latest
will see great change in this re-
spect, for when the patents expire
and competition is free there will be
not only better service, with new in
ventions that are brought out, but
also cheaper service.

He has lived for some years in Paris,

is he a newcomer in literature. Seven
years ago the Patnams published a
volume Of which he was designer, ed
itor and part author, "The Woman
Question in Europe" large and com
prehensive work exhibiting the status
OF woman in all relations in all Euro

were written by eminent women be-
longing to the countries which they
represented. Mrs. Stanton has a

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 9.-The following
advices are from the City of Mexico: A
duel was fought at Piedad, near here,
Thursday morning between Coils. Fran
cisco Nevoa and Manuel Blanco.
The duel was brought about bv
dispute, the two colonies
using language to each other of the harshest
nature Nevoa had for his seconds Gen.
Flores and Col. Rodrigo Valdes, and Blanco
was supported by Deputies Francisco
Romero. a celebrated duelist, and
Antonio Tovar, author of the
duellpg code of Mexico. The
arms chosen were swords, and
according to report, It was to have been a
duel to the death. The assaults after the
signal for the attack was given, were ten.
In these ten assaults Blanco was wounded
in the right arm, again in the throat, and
was laid out by thrust in the liver, he
only giving up after being SO weak that
he could not stand, when the
seconds ordered the duel to come to q
close. Nevoa had several scratches, none.
however, worth mentioning. In view Of
the fact that President Diaz forbade duel
ing IN the army by a special decree some
months ago it is probable that the combat
ants will be placed under arrest and pun
