THE ANTlToxlNE DISCUSSION.
Professor Drasche's Criticism Unfavorabl.
to the New Diphtheria Remedy.

Professor Drasche's Criticism Unfavorable
to the New Diphtheria Remedy.
The physicians of two or three Euro.
pean capitals are beginning to find seri-
Gus drawbacks to the use of the new
remedy for diphtheria. The subject was
carefully discussed at the Medical soci-
ETY. in Vienna this week. Professor
Drasche's criticism was ~unfavorable to
the new method, owing to the effects
which he had observed in 80 cases. He
found that injections of Behring's anti
toxine serum affected the kidneys seri-
ously. This observation was corroborated
by other doctors. They said that in the
presence of this fact it could no longer
be believed that the injection had no in.
furious effects. 1t could not be a matter
of Indifference that a patient who was
recovering from a dangerous illness
should be subjected. through this REM
edy, to a further serious malady.
Up to the present time, for observa.
tons have been much too short to per-
NIT a final decision as to the value of
the treatment, it is clear that it's appli.
cation should be limited. With regard
to the statistics which were supposed to
prove its success Professor Drasche said
that in diphtheria, bare figures were no
evidence. London Letter.

just what the national republican
league met for in this off year except to
go through the perfunctory duty Of
choosing a officers, is hardly apparent.
While the people would like to have
heard some expression on the silver
question, the only national issue being
discussed at this time, the league was
automatically silent on its views. This
was wise. The league was not a body OF
representatives OF the people chosen on
the issues of the day. 1t was rather
what might be called the machine ele.
ment OF che party whose views If ex.
pressed would be cast in the traditional
mould OF the party or made with a view
to covering more than one possible con.
contingency. Better, hence, no expree
sion at all. 1t was a great gathering il
numbers, did nothing and peaceabl,
went home. When it next meets ate,
Ine national republican convention il
will have q purpose and a good one-tt

A FLORISTS FAKE.
Tha Story of the "Blanket Of Flowersr %
Mrs. Astor's Grave An Invention.

Mrs. Astors Grave IN Invention.
Many women have visited Trinity
cemetery, One Hundred and Fifty fifth
street and Amsterdam avenue, in the
past few days to see the marvellous
''blanket Of flowers" which was said to
''cover the casket'' of Mrs. William
Waldorf Astor, and which was to be
renewed every morning for a year" by
Mr.. Astor's order. Mrs. Aston was bur-
led on Jan. 0, not in q vault, but in q
grave, in the northwestern corner Of
the Astor plot. On the day of the funeral
the mound of earth was covered with
pine boughs. The evergreens have not
been removed. and except at one corner.
which has been uncovered by inquisitive
visitors, the grass is covered with snow.
The laborers in the cemetery have swept
o path through the burial plot. and
about the grave a path has been trodden
by men and women.
The cemetery employees have grown
very tired Of having their word doubted
by women who inquire the way to the
Aston vault and the blanket of flowers
on the coffin. No flowers at all have
been placed on the grave, and they can
see for themselves that none can be put
on the casket. So the women insist that
the coffin is not in the grave, but in the
vault Of John Jacob Astor, and they ask
to have the vault opened, SO that they
can see this wonderful covering. AL
though the man explains to them how
impossible and useless it would be to
comply with their requests, they de-
part unsatisfied and doubling his word.
The old gatekeeper. who has been
employed about the cemetery 22 years,
has to Deal the brunt Of their inquiries
and disappointments. He said that the
other evening, just as he was closing the
gates, two women begged for admit
lance, saying that they had come all the
way from East New York to see the
flowers and would not go home unsatis-
fed. Some come from other states, and
two came from what seemed to him the
antipodes-Staten Island.
All this annoyance and disappoint-
ment is due to Joseph Fleischman, a
florist, of Broadway. On the morning
of the funeral he told the reporters that
he had the contract to supply fresh flow.
ers every day for q year for the grave.
For this he was to receive 800 a day,
he said, and in all he would receive
$40, 900 from MI. Astor. On the day
after the funeral Nh. Fleischman sent
to the newspaper offices a typewriter
story Of the alleged contract given tc
him by Mr.. Astor. He was, he said. te
furnish 4. 900 fresh lilies Of the valley
and 4, 200 violets each day. He repeat
cd the statement yesterday to a reporte,
of The Sun, and then, being confronted
with the facts, admitted that he had in
vented the whole story.
Superintendent Otto Meurer of the
cemetery and his brother Albert. who i.
sexton of Trinity church chapel and haf
charge of the funeral, say that no such
order for flowers was given by Mr.. AS
tor to anybody.-New York Sun.

4 Qncction Making Much Noise,

A discussion is raging In Erie over a
question p~ropounded by a schoolteacher
to her class, If a tree located in q for
est should fall and no one should see it,
would it make a noise?" The question
has created much discussion among the
pupils to whom it was presented, and it
has spread into older and wider circles.
The debate turns upon the theory that
sound exists only in the ear. and that
there can be no sound where there is nc

tract: 81 nave no hesitation in

most marvellous in the case of my
wife. While / was pastor of the
Baptist church at Rives Junction
she was brought down with Pneu-
monia succeeding La Grippe. Ter
rible paroxysms of coughing would
last hours with little interruption

NOTICE.


From the City Insurance office
of San Antonio, Texas, to our
customers: In order that there may
be no misunderstanding we wish
to say to our friends that we have
requested two of the companies
doing business through our local
office to seek ANOTHER representa-
tive. The companies alluded to
are the "Lion" and the "Scottish
Union.n
We took this step because of a
demand made on us by said COM
panies, which we could not con-
scientiously carry out.
We do not dispute the right of
these companies to manage their
own business. But we do as
sert that OURS is the privilege to
decline to take part in any trans
action which is contrary to our
ideas of fairness and justice.
We still have and will continue
to have ample facilities for hand
ling, in accordance with proper
rates and rules, all business intrus-
ted to our care.
We solicit continuance of the
peoples confidence and patronage,
believing that there are enough
companies left in the world who
will permit us to serve them and
the public alike with equal good
faith, and with the same quota of
fairmindedness toward both. Sim
cerely, S. ID. SCUDDER.
