THE scare that has often been ex-
cited on account OF the danger OF
flies carrying the germs OF infectious
diseases has been somewhat allayed
by the experiments OF Dr. n. Sim
monds OF Hamburg who at post
mortem examinations OF cholera
victims captured flies found in the
room where the examinations were
being held. In these flies numerous
comma bacilli could be demonstrated.
When the autopsies were concluded
and the room washed, the cholera
bacilli could not be found. An at
tempt was made to find how long the
cholera germs were retained b. the
insects, and it was found that they
disappeared in one hour and a half.

l am in the FURNISHED judgment hall
of the last day. A great white throne
is lifted, but the judge has not yet
taken it. While we are waiting for
his arrival l hear immortal spirits in
conversation. IVY hat are YOU waiting
here FORE" says soul that went up
from Madagascar TO soul that as
cended from America The latter
says: ~ came from America, where
forty years heard the gospel preached,
and Bible read, and from the prayer
that learned in infancy at my moth
er's knee until my last hour had
gospel advantage, but, for some
reason, / did not move the Christian
choice, and am here waiting for the
Judge to give me new trial and an
other chance" STRANGE" SAYS the
other; 81 had but one gospel call in
Madagascar, and | accepted it, and
do not need another chance.
"Wby are you here?' says one who
on earth had feeblest intellect to one
II 10 in
tongue, and scepters of influence. The
latter responds "Oh, l knew more
than my fellows. ! mastered libraries
and had learned titles from colleges
and my name was a synonym for elo-
quence and power. And yet | neg
lected my soul, and | am here waiting
for new trial" Strange, says the
one of the feeble earthly capacity; 81
knew but little of worldly knowledge,
but / knew Christ, and made him my
partner, and l have no need of another
chance"
Now the ground trembles with the
approaching chariot The great fold
ing doors of the hall swing open
STAND back" cry the celestial ushers.
"Stand back, and let The judge of
quick and dead pass through" He
takes the throne, and looking over
the throng of nations, he says: Come
to judgment, the last Judgment, the
only Judgment BY one flash from
the throne all the history of each one
flames forth to the vision of himself
and all others "Divide!" says the
Judge to the assembly. Divide"
echo the walls. "Divide!" cry the
guards angelic.
And now the immortals separate,
rushing this way and that, and after
awhile there is great aisle between
them, and a great vacuum widening and
widening, and the judge, turning to
the throng on one side, says: "He
that is righteous, let him be righteous
STILL and he that is holy, let him be
holy STILL" and then, turning toward
the throng on the opposite side, he
says: "IIe that is unjust, let him be
unjust still, and he that is filthy, let
him be filthy STILL" and then, lifting
one hand toward each group, he de-
clares: "If the tree fall toward the
south or toward the north, in the
! place where the tree falleth. there it
shall be-" And then l hear something
jar with great sound. 1t is the clos.
ing of the Book of Judgment. The
Judge ascends the stairs behind the
throne. The hall of the last assize is
/ cleared and adjourned forever.

THEY MOURNED DAISY'S DEATH
She WINS Only n Dog, but Was Given
n Christian burial.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Garner, who re-
side at Benson avenue and De Bruyn's
lane, Bath Beach, were up to n short
time ago the possessors of n black and
tan dog, named Daisy, for years old.
The Gamers moved to another house
on Eighteenth avenue. Here Daisy be-
came ill, and, despite tender nursing
and the attendance of physician, the
animal died.
It's owners were much affected. and
moved back to their former residence,
because, Mrs. Garner said, she could
not live in the house where her pet had
died. Then the dog must be properly
inferred. A casket was obtained from
q local undertaken, the remains of
Daisy were wrapped in q shroud of red
flannel, with the head only showing
deposited in the casket and buried with
due solemnity in the garden alongside
the cottage.-New York World.

The report, which is forwarded by Lieut. Com. Berry, commanding the warship, states that the membership of
 THE DETROIT DIVISION Is drawn from among the best educated and most intelligent classes of the com munity; the men were of good phys. ique and bearing; they readily com prehended the duties assigned to them on shipboard, and the zeal they dis played was highly commendable.

Many others are skilled in marine pursuits. They can man ship except in the en- zine room.
 THEIR TARGET PRACTICE with the small arms and great guns was very creditable. The board which inspected the men aboard the Michigan consider that the Detroit division would be of great valne to the United States on the lakes from the efficiency as an armed force and their
 KNOWLEDGE OF MARINE AFFAIRS in those waters. In it's opinion a trained body of this class of men of such spirit as they display must of necessity be a valuable adjunct to the United States navy in time of war.

The cause for this action on .ha mart of the authorities was said to he the discovery of pleuropneumonia in American cattle.

 ..Concerning the 6erman prohibit ,;on.s continued Mir. Morton, 'I will say that the American packing in- terests that control the dressed meat output-beef, pork and mutt top-oucht to form corporation and put afloat squadron of refrigera- tor ships, if necessary, and send noth- ing to Europe but our dressed meat, ali of which bears the inspection stamp of the government. Then there could be no charge that the meat was diseased, and there would be more profit in the work for the packers l found people in England who said they preferred to have the meat shipped in on the hoof so that the poor could get the offal. as they call it. IL would be vastly better for these people if, through reduction of freight, they were enabled to buy good dressed meat instead of the offal of live animals. The advantages of ship ping only dressed meat are manifest. We would thereby retain the offal here, which is useful in enriching the soil. The packer would also secure more compact bulk, and enhanced value to his product in its entirety, and reduced cost of transportation. three items that would enable him to sell his product at a lower rate.
 T expect to be able to show in my next annual report the number of live animals we have shipped to Europe, and our proportion of all the live anil mals imported into Great Britain. The fact of the matter is that we have in- creased our trade in that direction enormously and have supplanted many of the large dealers in Great Britain"
 Mir. Morton said that he learned a number of things from the agricul- tural department of Great Britain that suggested lines of inquiry that may be taken up in this country. He spoke pleasantly of the dinner at which MT. Wilson made his famous speech, and said only the English part of it was cabled to America, while the Ameri- can part was expunged. Mir. Morton declared that it was an American speech.

 ST. LOUIS, Oct. BOA negro rushed into the bar-room of the Garden thea ter at Fourteenth and Chestnut streets at 4:25 a. m. and told the bartender and Thomas Bryson that the place was on fire. Bryson ran upstairs and began to awaken the inmates. A panic en- sued. Women jumped from the win dows of the burning building, and men crowded their way down the stairway. Joseph II. Shaw, a waiter, aged 19 years, who was sleeping in the rear of the building. was suffocated and his body was burned to a crisp. Instead of following the others who were sleeping in the rooms, he tried to find the stair way, and was overcome by the smoke. The fremen when they arrived stum- bled over his body, thinking that it was piece of wood, and it was only after the fire had been almost extin- guished that it was learned that one life had been lost.
 The proprietor, II. Lundberg, and his aged mother and half dozen attaches of the place were in the building when the fire broke out. Walter Wise aad wife, William Stewart and wife and Billy Porter were compeled to jump from the second-story window to save their lives.
 An old trunk containing Ss, ,46s in cur rency was carried from the burning building just in time to save it. It be- lonped to Arabella Lundberg.
