Baltimore is growing over prospec-
tive discrimination against the Monu-
mental city in the matter of placing
subsidized steamship lines Only two
mail routes at most will go out of Balti-
more, says a newspaper of that city,
while eight have been named to start
from Newport News. The latter is a
little port on the northern shore of the
James river, few miles within its
mouth, which acquired some strategical
celebrity during the war. Its proximity
TO the sea may be valid reason for
giving 1t the preference over Baltimore,
just as the comparatively small town of
Milford Haven may be chosen in lieu of
Liverpool for the British terminus Of
a prospective five-days transatlantic
route. But the Baltimore paper sees
"no real reason for assigning so many
valuable mail routes to one point,
unless it is assumed that some
firm or firms have as good as promised
Mr.. Wanamaker that they will build
ships, and thus secure immediate and
tangible results to the postal subsidy
scheme" and assuming that Mr.. G. p.
Huntingdon is the capitalist Of the
second part, argues that "the inevitable
conclusion is that the government has
virtually sold out the ocean-carrying
business to few capitalists view
OF the case which is not pleasant to CON
template. 1t simply proves that the
boosted advantages of reciprocity and
mail subsidies are to be turned to the en-
richment of few millionaires." Well,
this is simply in line with the Republi.
can policy on the tariff; the men who
fry out the 'fat" come in for the "nro-
lection" while the poor man foots the
bill.

MISS wAnDEx IoYED AIax
1t is Supposed Tie Murdered Her Because
of .JeaIousy.

HANOVER, N. H., July 2S.--The Almy
case has been placed in the hands Of the
Pinkerton detectives, and determined
effort will be made TO capture Christie
Warden's murderer. Inspector o. M.
Hanscom, who SO cleyerly inveigled DR..
Graves into dangerous admissions in the
Barnaby case, has assumed charge.
The first reliable result of this charge
is the positive statement that Almy had
attempted to assault the girl he after
ward killed. This is proved by the
autopsy. The second reliable piece of
information vouchsafed is that Miss
Warden and Almy were on more cont
dental terms than had been supposed.
Among the effects of the dead girl
was found bundleof letters exchanged
between the two. From the contents Of
the epistles it is apparent that at one
time Christie did care a good deal for
the murderer. 1t is probable that the
state will agree to guarantee reward
of $4,000 or $4,000 in addition TO the
$1,000 already offered. The true Almy
still walks unmolested, or rests at the
bottom of the Connecticut river.

"The death of Jerry Hutchinson, of
Nebraska" says the Philadelphia Ledger,
"brings up strange story of the way
that state got admitted to the Union
against the wishes of majority Of those
who voted on the adoption of the state
constitution. The enabling act for the
admission of Nebraska was passed by
Congress in 1864, and in 1866 the con
stitution of the state, prepared by the
territorial legislature, was certified as
approved by the people by a vote of
s.a39 against 1888, majority of an
even hundred. Thereupon, in 1867,
Nebraska was admitted to the Union as
state. Jerry Hutchinson was an cleo
ion officer at Rock Bluffs in 1865, and
innocentiy took the ballot box home
with him when he went TO dinner on
the day Of election. 1t was subsequently
found that if the vote of Rock Bluffs
should be counted the constitution
would be defeated, but if thrown out it
would be adopted by the majority as
above given. Able lawyers thereupon
began proceedings that resulted in
throwing out the votes from Rock Bluffs
because Hutchinson had taken the bal
lot box to his home, and the result was
the admission Of the state to this great
and glorious Union"

Professor Koch, whose lymph cure
for incipient consumption attracted so
much attention few months ago, is re-
ported to have resigned the dignities
with which the German government had
profusely endowed him, and his resig-
nation is interpreted as remuneration of
honors which he does not feel that he
has fairly earned. If this be correct it
does honor to Professor Koch's con
scientiousness, since these dignities
came to him unsolicited and il was never
announced by him that his lymph
would accomplish all that his friends
and admirers claimed for It, So that, if
II has failed as remedial agent, Koch
himself is not at fault, for he protested
all the way through against making
claims that had not been verified by
conclusive test. And, if he has
not succeeded in discovering at
least prophylactic against tubeI-
culosis, Professor Koch has done
the world great service by directing the
attention of the medical world to this
important branch of pathology with an
.earnestness and determination that there
is good reason to hope will yet lead to
great results. One of the foremost ex-
perimenters in this field, DR.. Lannelogue.
distinguished French surgeon, has re-
Gently communicated to the Academy
Of Medicine, new method of inocula-
-
ton with chloride of zinc which prom
ises TO be useful in at least arresting the
progress of some forms of tuberculosis.
IL is not stated how this incubation is
accomplished, but it is presumed that it
must be made through the veins, and
that the substance, used gradually,
reaches the ulcers in the lungs
through the blood. DIR. Lannalogue
does not claim the discovery of a
new curative agent, since experiments
with some form of zinc have been made
before, but he says that his "method of
application is quiet new, with an infal-
lible antiseptic cure, destroying, or
'ather paralyzing the action of the ba-
,illus and reducing its effects to null
ity." Simultaneously, DR.. Godfrey
Hambleton, an English physician, pro-
fesses to have discovered method by
which consumption can be prevented,
and even cured, in cases where the dis
ease has not made too much progress.
While these and other claims may prove
delusive, they go to show that men who
stand high in medical science are labor
ing strenuously to find remedy for
this fearful scourge, and to Professor
Koch will be largely due the credit for
blazing the way if their investigations
should result successfully in the end.

The disease of .ycllows,n which threat
ems TO decrease the splendid crop Of East
ern Shore peaches now ripening, has
afflicted the crops of Delaware for several
years, and, to the utter dismay of the
scientists at the United States agricultural
department, nothing can be done to pre-
vent its ravages. Until now they have not
even succeeded i'll proving the method of
spreading the contagion. For this pnr-
pose, great clods of infected (?) Delaware
earth have been transported to Wisconsin
to be packed around the peach trees grow
ing there. The results will he watched
with interest, for, when specific cause is
found, a sure remedy is not far Distant

The American's interrogation point

test, even should the disease be thereby
transmitted to Wisconsin trees, would
not be conclusive. We have seen a
peach tree, a Seeding that had never
been budded by the way, isolated in
city yard, growing in ground that had
been pasture land for at least quarter
century, and had probably not been cul-
tiyated for double that PERIOD not an
infected tree within squares and pos
sibly not within mile; we have seen
tree under these conditions killed by
ycllows. Where did the infection come
from and how was it communicated in
this case?
