sketch of His Life.

Charles X. Strong, general manager of
the Chicago Newspaper Union and its
branches, died at his home in Chicago
early Wednesday morning, paralysis of
the heart being the immediate cause Of
death, although his illness dates from the
time of the annual meeting of the Ty-
pothetae at Philadelphia in September.
While In attendance there he contracted
n severe cold. This aggravated compli-
cation of heart and bronchial troubles
from which he had long suffered, and on
Nov. he was obliged to take to his room.
There were no particularly alarming
symptoms, not even on the day and even
ing of his death; in fact, his jovial spirits
had given the anxious ones hope of final
recovery At midnight, however, Mrs.
Strong was awakened by unusual rest
lessness on the part of her husband, and
before the physician could be summoned

WHO GETS THE VOTES
CONTEST MAY BE IN THE NEW
STATES.
Utah, Arizona and New Mexico, with Their
Six Senators. May Determine the Political
Complexion OF the Upper House-Politi-
cal Classification of Governors.
Point Overlooked.


According to a Washington correspon-
dent point that has been overlooked in
computing the political complexion of the
next Senate is the admission of Utah
with two United States Senators. The
act of the last session of Congress admit
ting Utah provides that in March, 1895,
the constitutional convention shall be
held. On the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November of that year the
constitution is to be submitted to the peo-
pie, and if ratified and found by the
President to be in accordance with the
act he will issue proclamation admitting
it as State. The act also provides that
a representative of the LIVth Congress
shall be elected at the same time the vote
is taken upon the constitution, also that
State officers and legislature shall be
chosen, and that if the constitution is
ratified the legislature shall Immediately
meet and elect two United States Sena-
tors.
Asthereis about n month from the time
the election is held until the LIVth Con-
gress meets, there will be ample time to
have all the formalities complied with and
Utah proclaimed a State in time for its
Senators and Representatives to partici-
pate in the organization of the next Con-
Senators, and. as the new Senate now
stands, the politics of the Utah Senator's
would cut an important figure.
Another probability which arises is the
admission of both New Mexico and Ari-
zona, which may be accomplished in
time, so that four more Senators would
participate in the organization of the neXt
Senate. Bills have already passed the
House for the admission of both these
Territories. The Senate Committee on
Territories has reported them favorably
to the Senate and they are now on the
calendar. Senator's of both parties have
been urging their passage, and it is more
than likely that neither party would OPP
pose them, because of the effect it would
have upon the elections, as the people are
anxious for their admission and would re-
sent opposition by any party to that end.
1t is, therefore, quite likely that the
battle for the control of the Senate will
yet be fought out in Utah. New Mexico,
and Arizona next year. The admission
of these new States would make total
of ninety-four Senators, and any party
to control would need forty-eight for q
majority. With the Vice President the
Democrats could control the Senate with
forty-seven Senators.

Story of His Life.
Charles e. Strong was born in Union
City, Mich, March 2S, 1S41. His pa
rents were among the early pioneers Of
that State, having located there in 1885.
In 1850 they removed to Milwaukee,
Wis, where, at the age of fourteen years,
their eldest son. Charles E., was appren-
ticed to s. NJ. Booth, then publisher of
the Daily Free Democrat, to learn the
printers trade, with whom he remained
for four years. Afterward Mr.. Strong
was engaged in the different newspaper
and job printing Offices in Milwaukee
until the year 1860. when he entered the
Office of the Evening Wisconsin as COM
positor, and two years later was made
foreman of that establishment, which
position he held until October. 1870 when
he was sent to Chicago by his employers
to establish and put in operation the
Chicago Newspaper Union, which has
become, under his management and di-
rection, the largest auxiliary printing
house in the world. He had probably done
more to advance the ready-print news
paper system than any other nan in the
country, and was the pioneer in practical
work pertaining to that business, his
first experience in making up what is
termed patent inside" forms dating
back to the spring of 1864. Probably no
man in Chicago had n larger or more
agreeable acquaintanceship or was held
in greater esteem among the country pub
fishers of the West than Charles E.
Strong.

NEW DIPHTHERIA TREATMENT
Serum Greatly Reduces the Death Rate,
but Is Very Costly

but Is Very Costly
Among the reports coming to the State
Department upon the new serum treat
ment for diphtheria is one from Consul
General Charles DeKay at Berlin, ex-
hibiting the efficacy of the new treatment
by comparison. He says that the estab-
lishment at Schering, near the Jungfern
Heide, has forty horses under treatment
for the production of serum, yet the de-
mand has been so great that the hospitals
ran out of it in September. This has n
singular effect on the death rate, which
in children under four, the most difficult
age, had sunk to IL per cent. before the
exhaustion of the store of serum; it rose
during October to 60 per cent.
The serum is costly, because estab-
lishments for its production are few; it
takes long while to prepare and must
be had comparatively fresh. 1t takes at
least nine months and sometimes year
to get the animals-all under three years
old-into condition. One animal does not
furnish much blood at time-say two
quarts. 1t must be carefully fed between
dates of tapping, and as in time the
strength of its blood as n means of cure
gives out, il is necessary to go over again
the process of cultivating the bacillus.
Absolute certainty is not ascribed to the
cure, and cases in which other diseases
are present should not be considered a
fair test of its virtues.

leadership, it must aim to secure legal

there are now no signs of such extrava-

choice material used and the absolute

friedrich and stone, and the floors are of
