BE THOROUGH.

In Gustav Jaeger's book ON
Health Culture the following from
Prof. Naegeli is quoted
If germs derived from cholera,
dysentery, and typhus cases find
their way into cesspools they will
only retain their specific nature for
a short time; thereafter they either
die or lose their infectious proper
ties. On the other hand, the con-
sequence of insufficient distinction
j. e.. Of disinfection short Of the
degree of concentration shat kills
is that morbifc fungi will continue
to terminate and ferment, while al
the same time, and for that very
reason, they will preserve thelr
specific nature of infection. Such
inadequate disinfection, therefore,
is tantamount to preserving the
germs, whose infectious quality is
revived when they, through IN
sufficient dis'nfectiou, emerge into
the upper air, and make their way
into the human body.

A SYSTEM of shorthand specially
applicable to the Maori language is
said to have been invented by a
schoolmaster of Canterbury, New
Zealand. 1t is learned that the
system has already been success
fully taught to numbers of Maori
children in various native schools,
the youngsters taking it up with
keen interest and avidity. The
Maori language lends itself very
readily to shorthand, as there are
only about fourteen letters in the
alphabet.

Augusta, April 16.-Tne dedication Of the
new Masonic temple in this city will take
place with formal exercises Thursday eve
ming next. Grand Master Horace II. Bur-
banKe of Saco will preside and deliver an
address. Invitations have been issued to the
masters of the various lodges in the state
and to members of the lodges in Kennebec
county. A grand banquet will follow the
ceremonies.
. The Masonic temple was completed last
month. at a cost of 10000. and is one of
the prettiest buildings in the city. The
structure is owned wholly by Masons, built
by Masonic money and on Masonic land, and
is considered the most beautiful temple this
side of Boston. The temple is elegantly fur
nished with all the modern convenienoes, a
part of the building being occupied by the
Ahanki tMasonic, club, the president of
which is Hon. Herbert M. Heath of Au-
gusta. The club has four rooms, a reception,
billiard and smoking and reading room.
Nearly all of the leading business and pro-
fessional men of this city and vicinity are
members. Thursday will be a memorable
night for the Masonic bodies of Augusta, as
we'll as for the visiting members. 4

THERE WERE OTHERS.
The Two Girls Not the Only Victims of
Durant.

San Francisco, April 16.-George r. King,
the organist of the church where the two
girls were murdered, made a statement to
Chief of Police Crowley yesterday, which
tends to fix one crime, at least, the murder
of Miss Lamont, upon Durant.
King says that on April 3, the day Miss
Lamont missed, he went into the
church about p. N. to practice on tie
organ.
81 saw Durant there much to my sur
prise he continued. "He came down from
the organ loft in highly excited and over
heated condition. asked him what was
the matter and he replied: Il was overcome
by gas up there in the loft He was very
weak and pale and asked ne to give him d
glass of bromo seltzer. knew be was fixing
up some electrical contrivances about the
church and thought nothing strange about
his going up in the left"
This is direct evidence of most startling
nature. Miss Lamont, it will be remem-
bered. left the High school about 8 p. m. On
the day she was last seen, April 3. she was
seen with Durant. The theory now is that
Durant had just completed his fendsh task
when seen by Organist King.
Sarch is being made for the body of Mrs.
Forsythe. wife of the pressman with the
Schmidt Table company. on the supposition
that she was murdered by tho same hand
that slew the two girls. The principal
reason for this theory is that she was 81
member of Emanuel church and frequently
attended there. She WIS known to have
been in the company of a man who attended
the church. and from this and few other
circumstances it was thought that she had
eoped. 1t is now thought that Durant was
the man and that he killed her also.
There are reasons for thinking that Dl-
rant also murdered Eugene Ware, a young
drug clerk, who was murdered a few months
ago. Those who saw the scientific bulohey
displayed in both cases, coupled as it was
with horrible savagery, Immediately con-

whom are alleged to be the proprietors of
the establishments and two women.
The Berlin people are anxious to make it
plain that Ievasseur has lived in Gorham,
and not in Berlin, and in explaining this
fact to visitors, they go so far as to lay
stress upon the fact that the place where
the crime was committed is in Gorham. II
is not probable, however, that Levasseur
