IT DESTROYS GERMS.
A New Use Said tn Have Been Found
for the Cathode Ray

A New Use Said t" Have Been Found
for the Cathode Ray.
Chicago, April 15.-Porfessor W. B.
Pratt and Hugh Wightman. the cleo
tro therapeutic and the bacterlologist,
of Bennett college, of this city. claim
to have practically proved within the
last week that epidemics will be i'm
possible in the future. They claim
that Asiatic cholera is to be no more
feared than other aches, and that Dip
liberia, CHAMBERS and typhoid must all
yield to the new remedy, the Roentgen
rays. The various germs were grown
in tubes in proper media. Magnetic
means of force from the Crookes tubes
were passed through them. The ap-
plication lasted two hours. Cholera
was the easiest destroyed and appears
to have been wiped out entirely. Dip
liberia has been treated very tenderly
and favorably, but after eight days has
failed to show the slightest signs of
life. There has been no activity in the
bacteria of the other diseases, and,
with certain notifications, the doctors
are now ready to announce that the
ray. properly applied, will destroy. any
form of infectious or contagious germ.
This is Endorsed by the college faculty,
and the entire electrical equipments,
the BEST in the West, will be turned
over this week for future proof of the
discovery, which is now maintained to
be fact.

THOUSANDS OF PAUPERS.

Penniless italian Immigrants Pouring
Into the Country.
New York, April 15.-The Herald
this morning says:
The steamer Bolivia, of the Anchor
line, arrived from Genoa and Naples
yesterday. She brought 1875 Italian
immigrants. Six hundred of them
were detained at Ellis island on the
ground that they are likely to become
charges. OF this number none had
more than dollar or so, while many
of them were practically penniless.
DR.. Senner said that only about 10 per
cent of those detained would be al
lowed to land.
The steamer Alesia, of the Fabre line,
also from Naples, reached the bar at 10
O'Clock last night with 1854 more on
board. The immigrant authorities are
appalled, at the great influx of Italian
paupers. More than $4,000 have al
ready arrived, and advices have been
received that ZOO more are about to
sail from Naples.

Much Ado Over Mysterious San Fran
cisco Founding.
San Francisco, April 16. - John
Swift, an 11-year old lad, found baby
boy not over two or three hours old, in
an old hand satchel in the empty Potter
lot on Twelfth street, near Mission
early this morning.
The boy saw the old valise, picked it
up, and found it was heavy. He gave
it toss or two in the air, catching it
in his hands as it came down. On
the second toss faint Cry came from
the valise and the boy opened it. He
was almost too frightened to scream at
what he saw. This was live, crying
infant, wrapped in dirty hand towel.
Swift laid the child carefully on the
ground, and then ran screaming down
the street. Passers.by saw the boy
running and heard him shouting "A
baby! babyP'
Policeman Connolly stopped the lad
and learned of the strange find. The
officer took the baby to the receiving
hospital.
DR.. We'll made an examination OF
the infant, and came to the conclusion
that the little fellow had been born
only few hours before he was found.
Whoever attended the mother was
evidently ignorant or careless. The
heel of one of the bab'ys feet was FROST
bitten. The baby, Notwithstanding his
uncermonious introduction to the
world, was lusty and rather pretty.
Later in the afternoon the child was
removed to the ST. Joseph's orphan

PACIFIC CABLE PLANS.
Consideration Still Going on
Before House Committee.
MEMBERS OPEN TO CONVICTION
They Could Be Happy With Either of
the Companies, Were 'TOther
Dear Charmer Away.

Washington, April 16.-The discus
sion over the Pacific Cable Company of
New Jersey and the Pacific Cable Com
pany of New York has brought out the
fact that both are making efforts to Sc
cure government Endorsement. 1t has
developed in the course of discussions
that Mr.. ]. P. Morgan is with Mr..
James Scrymser, the chief stakeholder
in the Pacific Cable Company of New
York. Mr.. Scrymser is president of
the cable company which operates the
cable to Cuba and the West Indies,
under an exclusive concession granted
by congress several years ago. Promi-
nent among the stockholders of the
other company are Colonel Spalding.
of Honolulu; Abram S. Hewitt, D.
Ogden Mills, Frederick Grant, Gen
eral Wagner Swayne, of New York,
and J. J. Hill, of St. Paul.
The Scrymser company expects to
make it's Hawaiian landing at Pearl
Island harbor, where the United States
has a naval station through an agree
ment with the Hawaiian government.
The personnel Of the two companies
insures their ability to carry out any
contract they may enter into with the
United States, and the committee,
members of it say, would be well satis-
fled with either, if the other was not
in the field. Considerable interest is
