MlcRoBIc ORIGIN OF DISEASE.
A Theory which IL In Danger Of BeiA
Carried Too Far.

A Theory which Is In Danger Of Being
Carried Too Far.
The microbic origin of infectious dis
eases was one of the greatest discover
les in medical history. II has largely
revolutionized medical science.
There was further advance when il
was proved that the harm done by the
microbes was not direct, bat due to a
violent poison they produced, some
what analogous to the poisons normal
ly thrownoff by the cells of our tissues;
and these are innocuous so long as they
are duly carried out of the system by
the eliminating organs.
It was at first thought that the dis
covery would cause a revolution in med
ical practice, and enable physicians to
cure patients with medicines which
would destroy the parasitic microbes.
What may be done in this direction is
still among the problems Of the future.
The chief advantages of the discov-
cry are that it emphasizes the supreme
importance of general sanitation, and
that it may lead to exteding the princi-
pie of vaccination to most infectious
diseases. But according to DIR. Troues-
sart, of Paris-we quote from the Bos-
ton Medical and Surgical Journal-we
are in danger of carrying the microbs
pathogeny too far, and of overlooking
the part that belongs to the organism.
He afirms that it will be impossible
to explain all pathology by microbes,
and emphasizes the TACT that the func-
tions of the living cells themselves may
be perverted or destroyed by other
agents than micro-organisms. When
the functions of cells are perverted, the
excuses of secreted or excreted matter
become real poisons, similar in their eff
fects to those produced by microbes.
The fact is the cells of the tissues
have an organization and properties
similar to thooe of the microbe, and
when their 4 IONS ar diseased be-
come veritablc parasites, which the or
ganism hastens to eliminate by the
well-known process of Inflammation.
All poisons, whatever their origin,
must be eliminated by the kidneys, the
intestine or the skin. The fact that
the cells and microbes are so similar in
constitution and properties indicates
that it is unsafe to administer remedies
that would be effective against the mi
crobes.-Youth's Companion.

Evidence Aesln.s the Murderer.

TORONTO, ONT, November 9.-The
startling feature Of the inquest last
evening on the body OF Lucy Denniug,
the alleged victim of Irwin NJ. Andrews,
was the testimony of Mrs. Helen Lewis,
a sister Of the dead girl. She stated
that when Andrews discovered that
Lucy was going 10 die he suggested
that she be allowed Co remain at his
Shaw street infrmary, and if she died
he would bury the body; the friends
could then advertise her as missing, as
was frequently done. The evidence
was very strong against the alleged

TERRA Alta, w. VA, November o.
Joseph Morgan, farmer, living near
Kuobley, Mineral county, had an en-
counter with deer, day or two ago,
which almost cost him his life. With
gun and dog he left home for the
mountains in search OF game. Presently
he heard his dog utter terrible yelp
some distance away in the woods, as
though it had encountered something.
He was greatly surprised on arriving at
the spot to find his dog in deadly com
bat with a large Infatuated buck deer.
Raising his rife he fired, but the bullet
went wide of its mark, and before he
could reload his gun the deer had sue
ceeded in goring his faithful dog with
his tremendous antlers. Leaving the
dying dog, without warning be made a
charge for Morgan, who succeeded in
stepping aside, and as he did so he dealt
the deer a blow with his gun, breaking
the stock, but without ia any way dis
abling the deer Having nothing left
but the barrel of the gun, he resolved to
use it to the best advantage. Like a
flash the deer Whirled aud made sec
ond charge and succeeded in Knocking
Morgan to the ground, and was in the
act Of bouncing upon him when Morgan
managed to gain his feet, and deal
ing his would-Se destroyer heavy blow
on top OF the mead with the barrel Of his
gun, he succeeded in knocking the buck
10 the ground. In a twinkle he dealt it
another, which succeeded in killing it.
The deer is one Of the finest killed in
that section for wears.

PHLADELumA, PA, November g.
Three shipwrecked seamen from the
abandonDd Spanish bark, Juan j. Muir
ga, arrived Ia port last evening. on toe
schooner Lippitt, from Turks lSlsnd'
The rescued mariners are Antonio Cri-
min, LloziDeriS, and Perro MaglOleS, a
boy, who were picked upin mid ocean,
entirely nude after undergoing suffer-
ings that almost made them crazy.
They had seen seven OF, their comrades
perish. The remaining two were taken
OF their vessel by the steamer Lampa-
saS and landed at Galveston, October
70. The Murga was caught In q
terrible northeast hurricane on October
@. The crew took the rigging where
they firmly dashed themselves.
Tire provisions were washed over
board with the water casks,
leaving nothing by which the men could
Quench their thirst or satisfy their hun
ger. The cargo Swelled and burst their
decks atunder. Tea Of the crew then
TOOK 20 the long-boat, while two OF the
crew remained on the bark in prefer
euce 10 going 10 the overcrowded boat,
aud were thereby saved. The boat Ia
which the men embarked had barely
got away from the wrecked vessel when
she was capsized. Seven OF the men
struggled for q short time in the raging
sea and then sank from sight, while
the other three managed to get rid OF
their heavy clothes and swan for
small boat which was drifting close by.
After three days of suffering they were
finally rescued by the Lippitt.
Their suffering while adritt from
thirst and hunger is indeScribable. Be-
ing entirely nude, with tho exception
of part of a shirt which one OF them
wore, the suns rays almost baked them
and their skin peeled of in layers.

Condition OF the Iron Trade.

There is an improved condition in the

conforms To their belief The hesi-
fancy about concluding pending uego-
tjaJi0us for large amounts of iron, which
we chr0uicled after the election of 1892,
was a result of a fear that values, which
had advanced - cents In the case OF
raw iron, would recede. To-day, as re-
ports from a number Of sources indicate,
there is feeling that buyers who have
been predicting a slight change for the
better In the eveut OF emphatic MAORI

enter the market for larger purchases
than they have been mGkIng the past

Ohio has again gone Republican. Gov.
Mckinley is reelected over Mr.. Neal by
an Increased plurality.
The two candidates were both popular.
But the Democratic party has suffered on
account OF the panic Inflicted upon the
country by Republican legislation.
The only law Democratic Congress has
enacted is one that repeats Republican
statute which Wns the cause of all our
financial woes. And yet the people, after
fashion as Old as American politics, have
visited the sins of the last administration
upon the party now iu power.

there is q reaction i'm favor of high protec-
