WASHINGTON, Aug. s. Quay's
resignation was forecast, although
an effort was made to induce him to
reconsider the matter. But the res
ignation of Treasurer Dudley,
"Blocks of Five Dudley" was sur
prise to every body and leads to mys-
terious comments about the singu-
larity OF two such men, strong back
ers OF each other, both resigning
from important party work at the
same moment just as it becomes
necessary for the party leaders to
determine among themselves wheth-
er Or not the President shall be NOM
mated. The committee IS just as
much anti Harrison without as with
Quay and Dudley, however. But it
may be intended later to modify the
programme and these designations
may have hearing on the question.
Undoubtedly Quay resigned, not ba
cause the committee desired him to,
for they did not, but simply because
his personal and political characters
have become so much smirched as to
endanger the party's success if he
had remained at the helm. Clark
son, his successor, is probably just
as unscrupulops in PARTY methods,
with more personal honesty.

sometime ago for two millions. is be-
hind the prison bars. Judge Gober
says Ryan is in contempt of the court.

possession to the amount of 1920, zoo,
which must be handed over 10 his

Success With koeh'S Cure

A special from Berlin says: DIR.
Thamm. of Dusseldorf, has issued a
report which has caused much pleas
ure among the believers in Professor
Koch's system of incubation rs q
cure for tuberculosis. DR.. Thamn
says that he has managed, by the
Koch system, to bring about a com
plete cure in 40 per cent Of the cases
of tuberculosis which he has treated
and that satisfact. ry results haye
accrued in 45 per cent of the ether
cases which he has treated by the
same system. Naturally the follow
ers Of Professor Koch are elated over
this report, which, it is supposed
will do much to strengthen the cour
age of the waverers.

A Bit of Calculation.

In the reports from the signal office
one often sees mention made of an
inch of rain. Few people can form q
definite idea of what is involed in the
expression, IAN inch ofrain." ltmay
aid such to follow this curious calcu-
lation: Az acre is equal to 6,2I2, ,64O
square inches; an inch deep of water
on this area will be as many rs cubic
inches Of water, which, at 227 to the
gallon, in $4,000 gallons. This i'm
mense quantity of water will weigh
100000 pounds, or 100 tons. One
hundredth of an inch (O01) alone is
equal to one ton of water to theacre
