A great many good things were said
at the municipal reform convention at
Cleveland last week. Not many Of
them were entirely new, but there Is
encouragement in the fact that the
men who said them found 1t worth
while to come together for that avow-

be summed up in the remark Of Mayor
Kennedy OF Pittsburg, that "the root

sent to the Chicago Tribune, from Cincin-
natl, an advertisement offering to sell SIPS

ticent the matter, hoping thereby to
capture Morrison's accomplices.
CHICAGO, April &c. o. Jones, a former
newspaper artist, was arrested last night
by the United States secret service on a
charge of counterfeiting two-cent stamps.
He confessed to-day to Captain Porter that
he and the man Morrison are and the
same. Joness friends say he has been in
Canada for the past month, and returned
yesterday. The secret service men tracked
him to Cincinnati, where he wrote to a
Chicago newspaper that his stamps were

A SCIENTISTS THEORY.
ExhaIed Breath of Sick People Does

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The National

day, elected the following new members:
DR.. William H. WEIGH. of Johns Hopkins
University; DR.. William l.. Elkin, of Yale
University, the noted astronomer: Prof
Charles Sprague Sargent, of Harvard Uni
versity, the famous arborculturist, and
Prof. Charles Whitman. of Chicago Uni
versity. Professor Whitman was formerly
connected with the Troy Polytechnic Insti-
tute, and is a celebrated paleontologist
The academy selected Philadelphia as the
place for the fall meeting and fixed the
date at October %. At that meeting the
new president, Prof Wolcott Gibbs, win be
indicted into Office and Professor Marsh's
term of Office will terminate. Three foreign
associates were chosen-Prof. Rudolph
Lueckhart, of the University of Leipsic;
Prof. Julius Won Sachs, of Wurzburg, and
Prof. Sophus Lie, the famous Norwegian
astronomer.
The Barnard gold medal was awarded

A paper by John S. Billings. on the COM
est and evoked considerable discussion. DIR.
Billings reached the conclusion that in the
exhaled breath no conditions of disease ex-
list and no poisonous bacteria are con-
tanned. The paper maintained that the
breath even of a consumptive is not dam
gerous. 1t is only when the subject coughs
or sneezes that the exhalation bears the
germs of disease. 1t is never. in the air it
self that such disease spreads, but in the
dust from sputa. The whole theory of the
paper was subversive of accepted ideas of
ventilation. DR.. Billings even went so far
as to say that aside from the matter of
inhaling poisonous organic matter, breath
ing the pure. air of the mountains secures
no special immunity from disease over
breathing the air of the slums. Neither
produces disease. Professor Remsen of
Johns Hopkins. said this paper would upset
all accepted notions on the subject. Prof.
Bowditch. of Harvard, said he agreed with
the general line of results brought out by
DIR. Billings, but thought the skin was a
great source of disease conditions.

FIRE AT PHILADELPHIA.

North Front street, and in the course OF
an hour over a dozen other buildings had
been wholly or partially destroyed. The

and the house of j. Meany. Some of these

from their stations on the Delaware river,
the fire was not allowed to spread on that
side TO any extent.
Shortly after o'clock fireman Magee was
hurt about the head by the falling of the
back wall of the cracker company's build
ing. He was standing in a room of the
Drydopple place when the wall FELL and
was injured by falling bricks. He was re-
moved in an ambulance, but it is thought
that his injuries are not serious.
Owing to the lateness of the hour, no
exac. figures as to loss and insurance could
be obtained, but a conservative estimate
places the loss thus far at 100000. At
245 a. m. fire is still raging, but is thought
to be under control.

OPPOSED TO RITUALIsM.
Organization of Episcopal Laymen to
Fight Certain Church Practices.

ST. LOUIS. April 1S.-The Protestant
Episcopal Church Association is the name
of the society of Episcopalian laymen
which has been formed to oppose ritualism.
It's president is Capt. Isaac NJ. Mason and
it's secretary M. p. Nelson. The other Off
GERS and members are prominent in bust
ness and professional circles. The society
is organized to maintain the nonsacerdotal
character of the clergy, to oppose every
thing that is an approach to Roman Cathol-
the bending of the knee before the altar,
etc. Lighted candles on the altar and other
practices of the rituasts have the special
enmity of the society. The maintenance
of what is in harmony with and the Grad
ication of what is contrary to the twenty
nine articles is a leading specification in the
statement of objections.

Bicycllng Up a Hill.

1dIpST Iouiis TeOpie
In the first place, for general riding It
is safe to say that one should never Try
to keep the same speed in going up hill
that he has been setting himself on level
road. Yet this is the natural tendency of
all riders. The bicycle should be allowed
to slow down, and the pressure on each
pedal should be made the moment that IL
turns beyond the highest point OF its arc.
The push should be strong for. the mo-
ment, and should then be withdrawn be-
fore the pedal has turned so far down that
the pressure on 1t is partially wasted In
other words, the principle is the same as
in rowing. where the stroke should be
made most powerful at the moment when
the oar is at right angles with the body.
and therefore in the position where the
oarsman's strength counts for the most.
If the bicycle is allowed to run slowly. and
this pressure is alternately made on one
pedal and then on the other, you will find
it moves along slowly, to be sure, but
steadily, and that you are at the top of the
hill before you realize 1t, and without hav-
ing even quickened your pulse to any great
extent. A very steep hill may, Of course,
be made somewhat easier by taking it .di-
agonally across from one side to the other
if the road is wide and smooth enough
that is, by zigzagging up the hill.
