The New Chicago Religion.

We learn from Chicago that the new
Chicago religion is nearly ready for the
market. One of the doctors engaged
in compounding it says it is made of
the choice elements of Mosaism, Chris
tianity, Buddhism, ethical culturism,
Mohammedanism, Renanism, Confu-
cianism and other beliefs, both ancient
and modern. Assurance of its solidity
is given by its compounders, among
whom are a Universalist, Populite,
two liberal rabbis, Unitarian, Hin
doc and an agnostic. The extracts have
been made with care, SO that it shall be
suitable to every mind in, all parts of
the world. 1t has not yet been mar
keted, ON account of the difficulty of
getting a good name for it, descrip-
tive name that shall convey some idea
of its elementary principles, and that
shall be attractive TO mankind. Why
not end the trouble and struggle at once
and give the new religion a boom by
calling it Chicagoism?-New York Sun.

A WONDERFUL GERM DESTROYER.
Recent Investigations Which Have Opened
New Field In Medicine.

Recent Investigations Which Have Opened
New Field In Medicine.
About 10 years ago a medical scien-
fist advanced the theory that, in its nor
NAL condition, blood contained an ele-
ment that instantly killed many forms
Of bacteria. In this healthy state blood
has been injected into the veins of dis
eased persons for this purpose and has
begun the work of destruction. The re-
suits had not been satisfactory, as the
amount of blood required was so great
as TO make continued experiments un-
wise.
Recent Investigations have confirmed
the original idea, and a series of exper-
iments of late conducted at the Univer-
sity of Michigan reveal most interest
ing possibilities. The destroying prin-
ciple has been separated from the blood,
and with it germs of cholera and an
thrax have been killed. This element,
to which the name of neuclin has been
given, is colorless and transparent. The
vital essence of it seems tenacious of
life, as high degrees of heat, even to
the boiling point, do not seem to dimin-
ish its activity. If this discovery does
all that it promises, it marks an incal-
culable advance in medical science. In
jeCted into the veins of persons suffer-
ing from many forms of germ poison
ing, it Immediately begins its benefi-
cent task of ridding the system of the
enemy. Thus a new field in medicine
is opened, the ultimate results of which
even the most comprehensive mind can
scarcely estimate.-New York Ledger.

Not a Devoted Husband.

Our strangest mistakes are due to Of
fetal red tape. A story was told in a
London district court last week of a
man who was unable to support his in
valid wife at home. He secured for her
admission TO an infrmary seven years
ago and paid shillings weekly main
tenance till few weeks ago, when he
learned that the woman died a few
days after entering the infrmary, and
be had been a widower seven years.
Instead of finishing his conjugal neg
iect by losing seven years contribu-
tions, the magistrate ordered the au-
thorities to repay the full sum.

Cremation In PennsYlyania.

The cremation of Sir Samuel Baker,
the African explorer, calls attention to
the fact that many prominent Philadel-
phians have been cremated, and others
have provided by will for that disposi-
ton of their remains. All the Pennsyl-
vania furnaces for burning up bodies are
kept quite busy. This disposition of re-
mains usually implies the absence Of
Christian burial, as few evangelical min
listers will officiate at a cremation. It
has been decided that a member Of .
lodge who is cremated cannot have Ma
sonic funeral in this state.-Philadelph

THE LION PATH.
/ dare not,

/ dare not
Look-the road is very dark
The trees stir softly, and the bushes shake;
The long grass rustles, and the darkness moves
ere-there-beyond-
There's something crept across the road just
now!
And you would have me go?
Go there-through that live darkness hideous
With stir of crouching forms that wait TO kill
All, look! See there-and there-and there
again
Great yellow CLASSY eyes close to the ground!
LookI Now the clouds are lighter, can see
The long, slow lashing Of the sinewy tails
And the set quiver of strong jaws that wait
Go there? Not /! Who dares TO go who sees
So perfectly the lions in the path?
Comes one who dares
Afraid at first yet bound
On such high errands as no fear could stay.
Forth goes he, with the lions in his path.
And then
He dared death OF agony
Outnumbered battle with the king of beasts;
Long struggle in the horror of the night;
Dared and went forth to meet-O ye who fearl
Finding an empty road and nothing there
wide, bare common road. with homely fields
And fences and the dusty roadside trees
Some splitting kittens maybe in the grass.

BRECK LOOKS BAD.
BUT Is STILL A GAME OLD SINNER.
Visits the House and Shakes Hands
With His Colleagues.

WASHINGTON, April l6.-Repre-
sentative Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky, appeared on the floor of the
House of Representatives to day,
for the first time since the famous
Notwithstanding trial began in
court. He reached the capitol
shortly before the session opened,
and went first to the Appro-
priations Committee rooms where
he exchanged greetings with
the members of the committee
There was no allusion to the liti-
cation, and merely the usual ex-
preston as to good health. Then
he passed through the lobby to
Speaker Crisp's private office,
where Representative Henderson,
of North Carolina, was consulting
with the Speaker as to the resolu-
tions of respect to Senator Vance.
There were brief exchanges of good
wishes, again careful avoidance of
personal affairs. Breckenridge
passed into the private lobby Of the
House, when he encountered many
members. They shook his hand,
in passing. There was nothing,
however, in way of demonstration,
or unusual crowding about him
Breckenridge went on the floor just
as the chaplain was concluding his
prayer, and stood with bowed
head up to the closing word. Then
he walked across the front area,
grasping hands here and there, and
then proceeded up the aisle to his
seat. The members were busy
with their work, and many failed
to notice him.
Three or four we'll known men in
the neighborhood of his seat leaned
over and shook his hand. He wore
a smile, but was evidently miser-
able, and i'll at ease, under the or
deal. His face was tlorid and
seemed to be more than usually
| flushed. There was little about
him of composure and nom
chalance so characteristic of
his earlier congressional days.
Before he had been in his
seated two minutes, he stiffened
nervously, and arose and left the
chamber. The House soon after
took a recess. Col. Breckenridge
said he would at once resume his
congressional work. He is chair
man of the Appropriations sub.
committee on Deficiencies.

Hard Trouble for the Army
Refusing to Sell Them Food.

Refusing to Sell Them Food.
COTTON Cal, April l6.-The second Los
Angeles regiment of unemployed are
meeting with anything but encourage
ment in San Bernardino. At first the
fire department was called out and
the commanders were drenched
with cold water, and driven from
freight train they had captured.
Then the army was placed under guard,
by fifty deputy sheriffs, armed with shot
guns, and the leaders placed in the county
Jail. Then boycott was declared on the
army. The command raised fund OF
81 and purchased bread but the baker
who sold 1t. was waited on by the Com
mittee of Safety, and made to promise
that he would sell no more supplies to the
army or its leaders. The merchants here
have refused to sell to the army, and
many citizens have agreed not to give any
food or supplies. The sheriff and
deputies promise to prevent the men from
selling a train, and declare that they must
walk out. 1t appears TO be a case OF
freeze out. Last night about two hum
bred COmmonwealerS marched in body
to the First Baptist church, where Rev.
Medhurst took up small collection, and
preached sermon expressing sympathy
forthe wanderers. Later the Committee OF
Safety waited on Medhurt to demonstrate
that the men were not peaceful citizens,
but an organized band of lawbreakers.
The preacher promised to give them no
more assistance. The CommOnweal de-
clare they will remain here until the lead
ers are released. Trouble is feared,
