DIR. KOCH no AMERICANS.
Telling Minister Phelps That Invaltds
Here Should Stay at Home.

A Berlin dispatch says that Professor
Koch, on visit to Mr.. William Walter
Phelps, the American Minister at the Lsga-
tion, passed through the ante-roon, which
was full Of eager American doctors who
were waiting to see the Minister in the hope
of procuring his good offices in securing for
them interviews with the world-renowned
bacteriologist. A long conversation took
place between the Professor and Mr.. Phelps,
who is worried by doctors and invalids from
America, who are determined to get from
headquarters information regarding the new
remedy.
In the course Of the conversation Professor
Koch said that his decision to give thelymph
henceforth only to hospitals was due to re.
ports of fatal results that had followed its
use in private practice. He carefully added,
however, that be was not personally aognizant
of any death resulting from its effects, but
said he was convinced that the lymph was
too dangerous, except when used under a
constant watch by physicians. A patient,
he added, ought to be seen at least every two
hours. Such care could be found only III
hospitals.
Professor Koch still personally attends to
the production of the lymph, but he wants
to discontinue this labor in favor of the Gov
ernment. He thinks that ultimately its
manufacture should be confined to the Gov.
ernment. To make the lymph. he says, re-
quires both science and conscience. He de-
c.ares that it is useless for American doctors
to come to Berlin The lymph will be as
signed to American hospitals that are prop.
erly vouched for Americans who ara i'll
should stay at home. Berlin is already too
full Of patients. DR.. Koch begged Mr..
Phelps to send nobody to him, as he is too
busy to see any one personally. He con-
tinues to be greatly pleased with the results
of his discovery when properly applied. he
declares that he does not want to make
money. He wants the Government to manu-
facture the lymph, and thus release him, so
that he may continue to study.
Minister Phelps has sent vial Of the
lymph to one Of the leading medical iusti-
tutes in the United States.

TEMPERANCE:
rHR DRuNKARD's DAUGHTER.

The circumstances. which induced the
writing Of the following most touching and
thrilling lines are as follows: A young lady
of New York was in the habit Of writing to
the Philadelphia Ledger, on the subject OF
zsmperance. Her writing was so full OF
pathos, and evinced such deep emotion of
soul, that friend Of hers accused her OF
being q maniac on the subject OF temper
ance, whereupon she wrote the following
lines:
Go feel what have felt,
Go bear what have borne
Sink meath the blow father dealt
And the cold worlds proud scorn:
Then suffer on from year to year
The sole relief the scorchipg tear.
Go kneel as 1 have knelt,
Implore, beseech and pray
Strive the besotted heart to melt,
The downward course to stay;
Be dashed with bitter curse aside,
Your prayers burlesqued, your tears deded.
Go weep as have wept
Ger loved fathers fall
See every promised blessing swept
Youths sweetness turned to gall.
Lifes fading flowers strewed all the way
That brought me up to woman's day.
Go see what nave seen,
Behold the strong man bow,
With gnashing teeth, lips bathed in blood,
And cold and livid brow;
Go catch his whitening glance. and see
Ttere mirrored, his souls misery.
Go to thy mothers side,
And her crushed bosom cheer.
Thine own deep anguish hide;
Wipe from her cheek the bitter tear.
Mark her worn face and withered brow,
The gray that streaks her dark hair now,
With falling frame and trembling limb,
. And trace the ruin back to him
Whose plighted faith, in early youth,
Promis'd eternal love and truth,
But who forsworn, hath yielded up
That promise to the cursed cup,
And let her down, through love and light,
And all that made her prospects bright;
And chain'd her there ,mid want and strife,
That lowly thing, drunkards wife,
And stamp'd on childhood's brow so milo.
That withering blight, the drunkard's chids
Go hear, and feel, and see, and know,
All that my soul hath felt and known;
Then look upon the wine cups glow,

Wrecked by q Snowdrift.

A wreck occurred on the Valley Branch OF
the Baltimore and Ohio road about two
miles north OF Harrisburg, Va. The south
bound train, drawn BY three engines,
ran into a snowdrift and was thrown
from the track. Two engines were thrown
from the track and demolished, while the
third was thrown across the track. Six
persons, all railroad employees, were injured.
The passengers escaped with slig ght shaking
up. The names Of the injured men
are: W. W. Kronk, conductor, badly injured;
jenkins and Young, engineers, badly scaldea,
and Donovan, engineer, scalded and mp
broken. 1t is thought that none OF the IN.
juries will prove fatal. The track was torn
up badly, and the loss to the ora railroaa c"m'
pany will probably reach $50, QUO.
