Periods of Deliriu,n More Frequent and a
Tendency to Stupor.
WASHINGTON, March g. CONGRESSMAN
Springer is worse to-day. There is recur-
renee of the violent form of erysipelas
which had once almost disappeared. To-
night the left side of his face is badly
swollen and the eye nearly closed The
periods of delirium are also moro fteuuent
and there is a slight tendency to stupor. a
new nhase in his condition, but one which
physicians declare is not particularly
alarming.
The attending physicians held consul
tation late tonight. At it's conclusion Dr..
Vincent, of Springfield, Ill, Sprinper's
family physician, made the following
statement: There is no occasion for imme.
dlate alarm. MIR. Springer is worse to- day.
but that does not necessarily mean n fatal
result must ensue. change might be ex-
pected in the run of this disease. Through
but change took place for the worse in the

While he slept considerable last night It
was broken, restless sleep. There ia to-
day increased development of ervsipilas
attended by delirium and coma. The ap-
gravatlon of erysipilas while, of course, a
matter of gravity, is not necessarily alarm
ing. 1t only shows there is not sufficient
vitality to resist disease. 1t shows low
vitality and lack Of physical yigor.
The delirium, Of course, is induced by
the disturbed condition of the nerve CEN
ters. Coma or stupor frequently makes its
appearance after he has been talking in an
almless way about the business of the house
or tariff bills After he drops off into this
state, however, it is easy TO arouse him
again, when he will talk quite intelligently

he lnpses into that condition again. He ia
Il very sick man-there is no doubt of that:
but it is not imminentlv dangerous, in nv
opinion. Even should tho disease termi-
natc fatally, he would probably pass into a
comatose state and remain in that con.
dltlon for possibly day or two before
death ensued.

WINE FROM THE HOLY CITY

On Its Way to Chicago for Use by the
jews During the Passover Feast
CHICAGO. March CAN invoice of nine
barrels of wine and brandy from Jerusalem
was received at the custom house yesterday
and consigned to several liquor houses in
this city. The liquors are for use during
the Jewish celebration of the feast of the
passover next month, and a great deal of cor
emony is elformed upon tt cir arrival. The
grapes from which the wine was made were
grown in Palestine, and after the liquors
were sent to Jerusalem they were blessed by
Jewish rabbis there and seals put upon the
barrels to insute them from contact with
anything unclean. The liquors will be re-
ceived several weeks hence at the apprnis-
er's warehouse. Upon tho arrival OF the
assemble and witness the work OF
the appraisers in ascertaining the
duties, to SEQ that no uncenn hands
touch the sacred wines. Even when ~ govern
ment gnuger measures the wines to ascer-
tain their proof the rabbi holds the gaurinc
rod as it is put into the liquor to prevent
unholv contamination. The rabbis will
also have oopy of the seals put upon the
barrels in Jerusalem, aud should the seals
fail to correspond the liquors will DO re-
jected. No Jew who pletends to be ut all
orthodox will drink any other liquors dur
ing tho feast but those received from the
holy land. the cost of the liquors is yerv
great the duties alone averaging about S5
per gallon.

Leaders of the house are anxious to &C.

tariff is entered upon. For this reason

In the senate the pure food bill is the
pending order. Mr.. Call has given notice
of his intention to address the senate to-
morrow on the subject of railroad interfer-
ence in the Florida elections, and MI.
Dolph wishes to deliver speech Friday on
Senator stanford's bill to provide for a

debate on the reciprocity resolutions which
are now on the table may begin some day

the fact that Chill is on the eve of rolit-

their designations, and without doubt there

will combat their foes to the bitter end
It is the opinion through Chilli that the
final solution of the question will be the
total separation of church and state. The

The story goes that after getting into the
