The Epidemic In the Arkansas Penitentiary
No Comma Baciila Yet Found.

The Epidemic In the Arkansas Penitentiary
No Comma Baciila Yet Found.
LITTLE Rock. Ark. Jan. 4.-The death of
another convict at the penitentiary In this
city at o'clock this morning and the dying
condition of one more have again
alarmed the community. DR.. Geddings.
of the United States hospital serv-
ice, arrived at 3 o'clock this morn
ing. He went at once unannOunced
to the convicts and began inv stigating.
Later he was joined by the State and city
boards of health. and a cholera bacterIo-
logica. examination Is now under way. 1t
will require two days to complete it. DE-.
Geddings gives IL as his opinion. from what
he has already seen and heard. that a vIru-
lent form of disease resembling cholera has
broken ont. He ordered the penitentlary
authorities not TO allow a convict tn leave
the building. A drove of hogs were driven
from the penitentiary last week to a place
of safety In the country, and it
is feared there will be an outbreak
in their wake as soon as warm weather
sets In. A young woman living In the
vicinity of the peni1entlary was taken i'll
ut 3 o'clock and died in two hours. Several
OF the cOnvicts have died as quickly. DR..
Geddings said that the disease could he
kept In IFS present confines provided the
authorities kept the prisoners in the walls.
Dr.. Geddings noticed tho existence of the
dump in the penitentiary. and from his
conversation il W as inferred that he thought
it a dangerous nuisance. For instance, if
the disease is pronounced cholera. it would
be possible for convicts to carry infected
dirt on their feet. DR.. Geddings ex pressed
surprise that the cOnvicts from within the
walls were allowed to work OH the streets
under the circumstances DE-. Geddings
stated tonight that the result of his exam
NATION for comma baccilli up to tonight
are negatives; in other words. he has discOv-
cred no indications of cholera whatever.
There have been about sixty cases and SIX
teen deaths. all in the U~eDltentiary.

More whisky than Is Needed.

LOUISVILLE, Jan. At. NJ. Gilmore. n
prominent whisky man and representative
of an Eastern whisky journal. SAID that
the whisky production for the year prom
ises To exceed by far ali previous produc-
tions. The indications are" said be.
that this district alone Will produce 3d.
than the entire State produced last year.
Nearly every distillery in this district is
either doubling or trebiing its capacity.
The estimated product for the State for the
present season Is so. COO. 90 gallons. The
estimated consumption of Kentucky
whisky is about 20. 900. 900 gallons. and. un-
less increased. there Will be n big overpro-
duetiOn. It is caused by the sharp adj
vance IN spirits. Principally. which is slim
ulating the production of the cheap.
quick-ageing brands of whisky And then
the feeling that the tax on liquor will be
advanced soon is having some influence.

ologist of Starting Medical College.
was asked to make al investigation. aud
his partial report disclosed the fact that
old paper money is as full of bacteria as
eggs are said to be of meat. DR.. Graham
writes that be made an examination OF
eight bills. A One-dOllar bill of the series
of 1878 showed three kinds of bacteria: one
OF the series of 1886 two kinds; two two
dollar bills of the same series. one each
and another dollar bill. series of 1886. two
kinds. The bills were all muoh worn md
very dirty. The culture made of the notes
showed that on each of them there were q
number of bacteria colonies which might
some day, under some circumstances, de-
yelop energy enough to attack the human
system. The English medical authority,
the London Lancet. says: Two notes
were found containing nineteen thousand
germs of various kinds. Cultures were
made in broth, and these were injected
into rats and guinea pigs. most OF which
died within twenty-four hours"
Mr.. O~utbwaite.~ speaking of his intentions
IN the matter, says: "As the introduction
of cholera here next summer is TO be feared.

genuine American characteristics. So far
as the money side of the question is con
cerned, it would be cheaper in the long run
to build and own legation houses in the

The time has come when Americans
should recognize the fact that their country
has become one of the great nations of the
world. 1t is a country which cannot afford
to take back seat and be content with
secondary rank anywhere on the face of the
earth. Our diplomatic and consular sys-

fifth part as much as that of France or Ger

the expenditures of either of those govern

secure results tangible and practical, and
