Disease In Paper Money

and unclean in the course OF use,
again directs attention to the urgency
Of employing the utmost precaution
against the Eruption Of the cholera
scourge next spring and summer.
The new measure is the result of a
careful investigation made by emf
nent psychologists Few people,
outside of those whose business it is
to handle great quantities of money,
realize the f1lthiness which paper cur
rency often acquires
Not only are bills slowed away in
greasy wallets and hidden in noisome
corners. but they are kept and
handled by all classes and conditions
of men. One Of the professional
men employed to conduct the inves-
tigation in question reports that
one dollar bill he examined contained
three kinds of bacteria, and that the
culture made OF the notes submitted
to him showed that there were
bacteria colonies on each one of
them capable of invading the human
system. A London journal, speaking
of kindred examinations in England,
declares that on two bank notes ex-
amined there $4,000 germs were
found.

vigilance in guarding against the ap-

VALETTA, MALTA, July 19.-The court
martial which is trying certain Of the
officers Of the warship Victoria, for losing
sittings, This morning, this being the third
day OF the trial.
The first witness called to-day was Rear
Admiral Markham, whose Gag was flying
on the Camperdown at the time she ran
into and sank the Victoria. His official
dispatches TO the admiralty, reporting the
fact and the details OF the disaster, were
read, and he stated that he had nothing to
add to these dispatches.
When Questioned as to the impression
made upon him when the signal of Vice
Admiral Tryon was hoisted on the Vic
toria, ordering that the distance between
| the two columns be six cable lengths,
/ Rear-Admiral Markham replied that when
the signal was read he said to the fag-lieu'
tenant: That is impossible since it is an
| impracticable manceuvre."
The rear admiral then repeated the story
| of the signals, as contained in his dis
| patches to the admiralty. He said that
| when be signalled to the Victoria that he
did not quite understand the signal, the
| Victoria answered that the Canperdowr
was delaying the manoeuvres. 1t occurred
to the witness that he was to put the helm
| of the Camperdown down and turn her II
points to the starboard, while the Victoris
would ease her helm and circle round on
| the outside of the division which was being
led by the Camperdown.

DIR. Dobbins to vacate It--He VIII Prob
ably Go to East Orange, n. j.


At q meeting OF the trustees of CRAZE
Church last Tuesday the Rev. John Y.
Doboins, D. D.. presented communities
ton requesting that be be released from
any additional service after next spring.
After listening to his statement of the rea-
son for bis request the trustees granted it,
but only In difference to his desire.
The officials hadn't, and In fact nobody
had, the slightest idea that the pastor con-
templated such step, and, consequently,
the presentation Of the paper occasioned
the greatest surprise. Dr.. Dobbins rela-
ton to the ofiiciary and the congregation
has been and is still entirely harmonious
and most delightful, and the trustees re-
luctantly granted the request.
A trustee stated yesterday that DR..
Dobbins' action was based purely on per-
sonal, on physical grounds, that his health
demands. q higher temperature.
Some time ago DR.. Dobbins was invited
to become pastor of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church at East Orange, N. ]. As yet
he has taken no action on the invitation,
but 1t 10 likely that he will accept 1t.
DR.. Dobbins was born in Philadelphia
and educated OF Pennington Seminary and
Dickinson College, graduating from the
latter institution in 1875. He was admitted
to the New Jersey Conference May 9th,
1876 AT the next session of the confer
olict ue WAS dshiBneu 10 phsboIhbe III
Camden, and served three churches In
that city. From 1880 to 1888 be was pastor
OF church in Covington. KY, and in 1889
he was transferred back to the New Jersey
Conference and stationed at State Street
Church, Trenton, where he remained three
years, During the three following years
he was stationed at Tabernacle Church,
Camden, and subsequently he was sent
back TO State Street Church, Trenton
where he remained three years more, after
which ne came to Grace Church. He re
ceived the degree of doctor Of divinity
from Dickinson College in 1889.
His pastorate at Grace will be reckonec
as one of the most successful in the history
oil the church. In addition to the qualities
of an earnest, eloquent preacher, he hal
manifested the zeal and fervor of the old
time Methodist pastors in visiting hi
people, and in personal efforts TO promot,
their spiritual well-being. In this. par
ticular his pastorate will be a marked on,
in the history of the church. The reviva
| spirit has been manifest In all his services
and large increase of the Membership
and congregation has resulted.
