Seeking the Old Age Germ.

An Italian bacterioogist has to some
extent startled his professional brethren
With proposition which be defends
With warmth aud skill. It is to the
effect that old age is due TO specific
bacillus. and that that bacillus may be
discovered and its evil Offices counter
acted In simple terms. the ltalian
asserts sba; perpetual manhood, i: not
perpetual youth, is reasonable end to
be aimed at by scientists He shows
aud his professional brethren agree with
hi,n-5hat the tissue changes of ad-
vauc4d life may be traced indirectly to
germs. In the body there are pro-
duced ptornaines, or polsons. ADD these
poisoDs set up various degenerative
processes in the vital orgaus-the
liver, the kidneys, the blood. etc.
The ptomaines are generated BY baclli.
The professor thinks that science should
be able to run through the series Of
causes and effects until the specific
germ of old age is found ard dealt

along Evans's arm and came out back
of the shoulder; that Tillman was
shot in the chin and had his pistol
hand disabled that each fired four
shots that George Evans was in the
same building in another office, and
when the shooting began, hurried
into Simpkins' Office, but no further
shooting took place that Tillman
stood at the door for some time
after he left the office, declaring
that Evans had tried to shoot him
in the back that Tillman was out
on the streets yesterday; and that
both men had been placed under
arrest by the town marshal.
Another story is to the effect
that Evans first shot went through
Tillman's s cheek, coming out at his
chin; that Capt. Tillman turned and
fred, the bullet entering Evans
arm that the two next shots were
fired simultaneously, Tillman's bullet
piercing Evans left breast, ranging
around the body and lodging under
the left shoulder blade, while Evans
ball entered Tillman's right hand and
ranged up the arm that OF the third
fire Tillmans bullet entered Mr.
Evans hat at the band, aud had not
Evans lodged, the shot would have
been fatal that the ball from Evans
pistol passed through Tillman's
trousers that Mr.. n. G Evans
fired a shot or two harmlessly as he
came upon the scene, the bullets
finding resting places in the wall ;
that Capt Tilman was at his law
office all day Yesterday; that Mr..
Evans was in bed last evening and
physicians were probing for the ball
in his shoulder.

talking, it seems, Capt Tillman, so
one story goes, remarked that the
thing would have been settled sooner,
but Evans had insulted him year
ago and had acted the d-n scoundrel
all the way through. This story then
goes that Mr.. Evans, who was behind
TiIlman, fired, the ball entering the
cheek and coming out at the chin.
Other stories say that Tillman
brought in the reference of the old
difference, when Mr.. Simpkins said
that was not the matter to be settled.
Evans said that if Tillman felt he had
been insulted, he was ready to give
him satisfaction at any time, but that
this was another matter and he had
come there to settle it. According
to these accounts Tillman then whip
ped out his pistol and with the
remark that if Evans was ready to
give satisfaction, the time and place
was immaterial, and they might as
we'll settle it, fired a shot, the ball
going through Evans hat.
Another story is to the effect chat
when Tillman made his remark about
the scoundrel, Evans gave it the
"d-n lie," and thereupon the shoot
ing began.
1t is hard to tell much about The
shooting itself Some say each man
shot four times, and some say three.
Some say Evans fired the first shot
and some say the contrary
The first story was to the effect
that Tillman fired first; that Tillman
was going out of the Office when
Evans fired his last shot, hitting him
in the chin, and Tillman turned and
fired his last shot, hitting Evans in
the shoulder.
Another story goes that Tillman
says Evans shot him from the rear
when he was not expecting it ;
that TiIlman's first shot went through

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
venezuela's Boundry Dispute Brings
Up the Historic American Policy
Again.

venezuela's Boundry Dispute Brings
Up the Historic American Policy
Again.
The Joint resolution adopted by
the house last Wednesday recon-
mending England aud Venezuela to
submit their boundary dispute to
arbitration is step in the right
direction.
For nearly two generations this
controversy has been dragging along.
The English, relying upon their
superior strength, have continued
to push their outposts into the ter
ritory OF Venezuela until they are
now in fair way to command the
whole Orinoco valley, embracing
perhaps the richest area in South
America. The republic thus despoil-
ed has frequently urged arbitration,
but England has always replied that
there was nothing to arbitrate.
Under the circumstances it is the
duty OF our government TO stand by
Venezuela in her reasonable demand
for q peaceful settlement OF the
pOluts Ill lSSuS. we tuuSt citucI w
this or abandon the Monroe doc
trine. The action OF the house
would indicate that we are not
ready to give up a policy which has
been heartily Endorsed by our own
people and by all Spsnish-American
countries. To yield this historic
doctrine at this late day would place
the republics OF Mexico, Central
America, aud South America at the
mercy of the great powers OF Europe
il they should ever decide to extend
their monarchical institutions in thi'
hemisphere. Naturally the adoption
OF such course on our part would
have the effect OF turning all the
southern republics against us, anC
they would not look with favor upor
those closer trade relations which
we hope will result from our grea
International exposition, and which
we believe will be mutually profit
able.
1t is to be hoped that our govern
ment will firmly insist upon the ar
bitration demanded by Venezuela
We cannot afford to hold alooi
abandon the Monroe policy, anC
leave our natural allies to be- OPP
pressed and plundered by stronge
nations OF Europe. We must stant

OF the world.-Atlanta Constitution.

Milk.

The business OF the country is
settling into its former groove. Our
gentlemanly driver has returned
from his vacation, the cows in the
pasture switch flies instead OF bull
lets with their tails and the cream is
richer in consequence. We believe
we have satisfied every one OF our
customers who have taken milk from
us and we are in position to sup
ply q great many more. The people
who from choice or necessity visited
Waialae during the past two weeks
have had an opportunity to see just
what sort OF diet our stock feeds
upon, and no longer wonder at the
richness OF the milk from our dairy.
Our facilities for delivery are the
best. With the exception OF a day
or two early in the late unpleasant
ness our drivers have always been
on time at our customers residences.
We take this opportunity to thank
those who have been patient with us
and to solicit a continuance OF their
patronage. We will be pleased to
fill all orders telephoned to US and
guarantee all milk to be pure and
free from adulteration.

The Original Chinese.

Before the discovery OF iron, and
not less than 5000 years ago, the
territory OF what is now China,
Corea, and Japan was occupied by .
brown race, either Malayan or Malay
negroid in character. This is point
ed out by tradition, by ethnology,
anthropology, and archaeology. The
brown people bore the same relation
to eastern Asia as did the Iberians
aud Lapps to prehistoric Europe.
While OF low grade intellectually,
they had mastered nearly all the
primitive arts. They had domesti-
Gated the buffalo, dog, cat, monkey,
and the barDyard fowls. 1t may be
questioned II they had tanned the
horse or COW. They lived in huts,
titled the soil, and understood pot
terry. As a race they were split up
into innumerable clans aud tribes.
They were perpetually warning
among hemselves, using. as arms
weapons made from wood ard stone.
They worshiped fetiches and devils,
practiced polygamy and polyandry,
offered human sacrifices to their
idols, and were altogether pretty re.
spectacle savages.-Overland Monthly
