REV. THOMAS DIXON of New York preached sermon on "TrilbY,' ' in which he said that the reading of the book would not hurt anybody of average intelligence, and books are not written for people of less than average intelligence. Charity is the music of the universe, and ''Trilby" throbs with charity. He said: "In sTrilby' great truth is given most graphic illustration. It is that the man or woman who allows a social difference 10 come be- tween him or her and prevent union in marriage, that all the laws of nature and of right prompt, is selling birthright for a mess of pottage, and for pretty mean mess at that. Ancthsr thing that srrilby' teaches is that all dual standards of morals are false, mischievous and barbaric. 'Tril- by's' sin was not the sin Of her heart, but tho result of her environment. Her mother was a barmaid. Her surroundings wSre evil. As baby sho inherited sin at
 mothers breast. It was fostered by
 breath she drew of the polluted at-
 pere in which she was raised.'

CRUELTY IN A HOME.
The Elmira Reformatory Horrors Ri
vailed in Ohio.

Columbus, o., Jan. Sensational
charges were last night filed with Gov
Mckinley against numoer of the OIL
GERS of the Boys Industrial Home, at
Lancaster, in which the most serious al
legations are made by a fellow officer,
who has become disguised with the meth
DDS in use there. Accompanying the
charges is a demand for an investiga-
tion at the hands of the gen.
eral assembly. In view of the
magnitude of the charges, it is quite
likely that the governor will forward the
charges with such recommendations to
both branches Of the legislature at an
early date.
The officer making the charges is G. w.
Crumley. Those involved in the crimina-
tions that are made are Assistant Super
intendent Robert W. Paddock, L. Day
nude, J. w. Steele and Boyd Swonger
Most of the document is devoted to the
recital of allegations against Paddock,
who from the specifications, appears to
have been guilty of most unseeming and
indecent conduct; brutality to his helpless
charges being an every day occurrence.

An epidemic of the grip is certain to be gen

Already many cases have been observed by
physicians in New York city, as well as in
other cities of the land. DR.. Cyrus Edison, of
the New York Board OF Health, says that the
disease will manifest its presence generally IN
the very near future, and that 1t is already

HOUSE ABsENrEEs.
No Returns Yet Upon Any of the War
rants Issued for Members.

Washington, Jan. Up to a late hour
tonight, so far as could be learned, there
had been no returns upon the warrants
issued for the arrestof absent members of
the House without leave, so that the pros
poets for the presence of a quorum at to-
morrows session have not materially
changed since yesterday.
Representative Brown, of Indiana,
reached Washington this afternoon and
will add one to the number of the demo-
cratic representatives who will vote in
favor of seconding the previous question
on the passage of the order for the con-
sideration of the Wilson bill.
Representative Pence, of Colorado, left
the city to-day for Indiana, his old home,
to attend the funeral of relative. But
his absence will have no effect on the
situation-he has not been voting on the
pending question. What is needed is the
presence of representatives, presumably
democrats, who will aid in making quo
rum on the vote to pass the order.
Officials of the House still assert con-
fidence that quorum will be present to-
morrow

de Janeiro, dated Jan. 4, via Montevideo,
Jan. z:
Admiral de Cana still holds out, stat
ing that he expects the Aquidaban and
Republica with reinforcements tomorrow
from the south, and is confident of ulti-
mate success, and received e12, 000 on
saturday from sympathizers in order to
pay his men,
The diplomats have refused to recog-
nize the belligerent status of the insur-
gents on the ground that the provisional
government hadd not sufficient standing.
THE MINISTER OF MARINE RESIGNS.
Admiral Cavalas, the minister of ma
rlne, resigned his Office on account of a
difference of opinion with President
Peixoto, and especially regarding the i'm
prlsonment and general treatment of
naval officers suspected of sympathy with
the insurgents. His successor, Admiral
Netto, is considered honest, though he
has no special Gnility
The past week has been uneventful.
There was some diminishing in the vi
cinity of Mocangue, and occasional firing
along the shore front of the city. The
forts at the mouth of the harbor, which
have been silent for the past week, fired
again to-day. The cruiser Tamandare
fires few shots daily at the batteries Of
Nictheroy, the latter replying.
STILL MOUNTING ARTILLERY.
1.-THE government continues mounting
artillery on the heights within the city
limits, and is awaiting the arrival of the
new warships before attacking de Cana.
THE cruisers Ell Cid (Nictheroy) and
Britannia (America) and Aurora are
still at Pernambuco, and the latter Is
without crew.
1.-The news from Desterro states that
there is some divergence of opinion among
the insurgent leaders on account of the
appointments Of the provisional govern
ment.
Several cases of yellow jack have oc-
CURED on board merchant vessels and
also in the city, and it is feared that a
continuance of the intense heat will
bring a severe epidemic later.
ION Wednesday morning the insur-
gents attacked EngenhO Island, opening
fire from the ships at midday. AT Z
O'Clock they landed 200 men, and for a
half hour there was sharp fighting. After
a slight check they captured Krupp field
piece and seventy FOUNDER Whltworth.

DO THE SICK EVER sNEEzE.
The Question That Has Been Long
Asked and Not Yet Answered.

From the Medical Record.
For somewhat over twelve months the
readers of medical literature have been
confronted in small caps with the conun-
drum: "Do the sick ever sneeze9" We
do not know why this inquiry has become
SO popular; no prize has been attached to
its proper answer; in fact, comments and
replies are not even solicited. But the
simple query has been travelling around
from Sheffield and London to Texas, Ore
gon, and Philadelphia, and it has not
beenanswered vet. There are some prob
lens which the human mind shrinks
from graphing, sometimes because they
are too deep, and too consuming, or,
again, because we dread the consequences
OF an awful certainty No medical man
has yet dared to come out squarely and
say in so many words that the sick do or
do not sneeze; and the world is curious
to know whether this is due to fear or in
competency; or is it that doctors simply
do not know
Perhaps, despite the fact that this
question-which was first thrown upon
the world by MIR. Jonathan Hutchinson,
the greatest living authority on a number
of things-we say despite the fact that
this question has been so continually
pressed home to students OF medical
science, it may not yet have made the
impression it ought There is q deal of
f1ippancy in the world, and some may
have said on reaching the inquiry Sup
posing the sick do sneeze, or do not, what
the dickens is the oddsl Well, we shall
still have cakes and ale, irrespective of
sternutation, but science exists for the
purpose of adding to the eternal verities
hence the question of sneezing must be
dealt with seriously and answered in ac-
cordance with the illumination furnished
by thorough and matured knowledge It
cannot be lightly thrust away by appeal
ing to points of economics.
We are aware that collective investiga-
tion is little out of fashion, but here is
an opportunity for fruitful work, and we
should like to have our readers lay aside
mental Incidence and address themselves
boldly to Mr.. Hutchinsons problem of
hyperkinetics: "Do the sick ever sneezel'
The eminent author himself has never
seen a sick man sneeze; on the other
hand, we venture to say that we have
never seen a man sneeze who thought he
was perfectly well. Between these wide
ranges of experience there lie rich fields,
fructifying study.

From London Gable in the New York Sun.
Queen Victoria's Oldest subject, Will
liam Hampson, is dying at Stafford, not of
old age but of the effects of an accident.
He is believed to be lib years old, and
until a week ago he used to get about as
well as many men Of half his age. Last
week Hampson started to join an Old
Folks Party. He fell from a street car
seriously iniuring his spine. The acct
dent ought to have killed the average old
man, and the fact that Hampson is still
alive proves him TO be the toughest of

KILLING OF THE BRITISH.
A Dispatch Showing the Movement Of
Col. Ellis Column.


London, Jan. THE government re-
ceived to-day, a dispatch which was de-
layed in transit, concerning the move
ments of Col. "A. B. Ellis column of West
Indians, prior to the attack of the French
force at Warina.
The column left Komendi on Dec 10, and
marched northeast. Col. Ellis found that
an area thirty-one miles wide had been
devastated by Sofas. On the 18th he
surprised a party of Sofas and put them
to fight. Lieut.. Gwynn, of the engi-
neer corps, and one West Indian were
wounded
The town of Sidou was captured on the
goth. Lieut.. Margesson and three West
Indians were wounded in the attack
The British force then marched over
the Kore mountain, and on the Dist cap
tured Warina Eight West Indians were
wounded The main body of Sofas was
then at Karayemma, and Col. Ellis in
tended to advance on the camp in few
days. ,t
-s.'5 LIEUT.. MIzoN's VIEWS.
London, Jan. 8, 3 a. m.-Several news
papers print to-day an interview with
Lieut. Nixon, the African explorer and
traveller, in the French service. He said
that he was not surprised when he heard
of the battle in Warina. The terri
tories of France and England were not
adequately defined in Northwest Africa,
and there was deep animosity between
the Bengalez sharpshooters and the West
Indian soldiers. The latter, Lieut.. Nixon
said, were robbers and plunderers. Lieut..
Mizoh could not believe that the fault at
Warina lay with the French.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
News says that excepting the news from
English sources nothing has been received
in Paris regarding the Warina battle.
