NEBRASKA FOR M'KINLEY.
A Former Maine Man So Writes, and Tells
His Reasons.

Mr. S. Fl. Burnham, formerly law
student of Hon. @. F. Libby, native
OF Norway, Me-, and now cashier of the
American Exchange National Bank of
Lincoln, Neb., writes from that oity
under date of October 81:
AS far as politics are concerned, II
looks to me as though Mckinley was 60
ing to be elected without any doubt;
and the prospect is good deal better
here in Nebraska. The Republican oom-
mittees tell me that without any doubt
the state will be carried for Mckinley.
And there are plenty who will bet money
on it at the present time. Several bets
were made today"

INCUBATION FOR SNAKE BITE.
DR.. Calmette Finds That Lethal Dose
Destroys the venom's Effect.

s. Many read ers.of Mr.. Hamlin Garlands
recent sto ~ of the Moki Indian Snake
Dance doubtless wondered how it is that
the Indians apparently suffer no incon-
venieEoe from the bites of rattlesnakes,
for unquestionably at times the perform
ers in the dauoe are bitten. The late
Captain John G. Boure, who was the
first intelligent white who witnessed the
Moki snake dance and kept the record
of 1t, thought that these Indian possessed
ant!dotes We had not yet discovered.
Today the real study of antitoxines has
commenced, and it is by DR.. A. Cal
mette, chief Of the Pasteur Institute, of
Lille, that the properties of antivenomous
serum have been exactly explained. DR..
Phisalie's experiments chow that ander
certain precautions man OF an animal
may suffer hardly any inconvenience
from the venom of viper. Remarkable
results have been obtained with the
venom of the cobra. When two MILL
Rrammes of the dried cobra poison in
solution were injected into rabbits
ear. the animal was dead after twelve
minutes.
But when rabbit was protected by
former extremely weak solutions of the
cobra poison, and then the same strong
infusion of the venom was injected into
it, the animal was not nconvenienced.
DIR. Calmette's Investigations begun
with the study of the nature and venom
of many different kind of snakes.
Whence does the snake collect its vonom
1t must take it from its own blood and
concentrate the poison in particular
gland. Of course there may be changes
in this poison differing from that found
in the original source-the blood of the
snake itself. We know that the pig and
the mongoose are not affected by snake
bites, and it is natural to suppose that in
their blood there is something which
makes them immune. Following the
Roux method, DIR. Calmette took horse
because this animal shows a natural
resistance to snake es.-Harper's

RELIGIOUS MANlas IN AMERICA.
Our Short History is Full of Examples of
Mental Epidemics.

Turning now to the American, who
somewhat resembles the Hebrew both
in business ability and Righteousness,
we find social suggestion working In
him on larger and rgrander scale.
The American is highly suggestible, and
the shors history of his national exist
enoe Is full of instructive cases of men,
tai epidemics. A few instances WILL
perhaps, suffice for our purpose.
At the beginning of the present CEN
fury mania of religious revival swept
over the continent of northern America,
and reached it's acme in the camp meet
ings Of the Kentucky REVEALS" The
first campmeeting in Kentucky was held
at Cabin Creek, and continued four days
and three days. The scene was awful
beyo nd description, the preaching, the
praying, the singing. the shouting. the
sobbing. the fits of commissions male of
the camp a pandomonium. Religious
suggestion soon affected the idle crowd
of spectators and acted with such viru-
lence that those who tried to escape were
either struck by commissions on the
way, or impelied to return by some I'M
known, irresistible power. The conta-
gion spread with great rapidity, and
spared neither age nor sex.
The oampmeeting of Indian Greek,
Harrison county was especially interest
ing and instructive for Its bringing
clearly to light the terrible power Of
suggestion. The meeting was at first
quiet and orderly. There was, of course,
a good deal of praying, singing and
shouting, but still nothing extraordinary
occurred. The suggestion, however did
not fail to como, aud this time it was
given by child. A boy Of 10 mounted
a log, and raising his voice began to
preach. In few moments he became
the center of the religious mob. "Thus.
o Sinners" he shouted. "shsll you drop
into hell, unless you forsake your sins
and turn to the Lordl' At that moment
some one fell to the ground in convul-
Sions, and soou the whole mob was
struggling, writhing and jerking. In
some camp meetings the religious mob
took to dancing, and at last 10 barking
like dogs. Men, women and children
assumed the posture of dogs, moving
on all fours, growing, swapping their
teeth and barking.-The Century.

FEMALE PRoWDENT SOCIETY.
The Annual Meeting and Election of nc
ers.


The annual meeting of the Female
Providsnt Society was held TT the City
building at 2. 80 O'Clock yesterday after
noon. There was good attendance OF
the members, and the reports showed
that good and telling work had been
done among the poor during the past
year.
Mrs. A. b. Cole, acting secretary, re-.
ported that the work of the past year of
this society has been marked BY the
same quiet, unobtrusiven ess that has
characterized its course through all the
long years of it's existence; SO quietly
has its work been done that but COM
paratiuely few people outside of its BEN
eficiaries and patrons know how far
reaching is its scope, even though it is
one OF the Oldest and best endowed of
Portland's man benevolent organiza-
tions.
In common with other societies of like
character, the year has brought to us in
creased demands, all of which, were
proper to do so, have been needed. In
some few cases applicants have been
sent empty away because 1T was found
that they were unworthy of our help. ssIn
this connection your secretary would say
that too much praise cannot be accorded
to the faithful visiting com mittee who,
often at the sacrifice of great personal
comfort, spare no time nor strength in
seeking toafind thestru ne condition. OF each
person coming to US for aid. While I'M
worthy applicants are refused any help,
no woman or child whose call is well
founded. is turned empty away. This has
been made possible through the generous
legacies with which the society has been
endowed and which has placed it upon
good financial basis.
During the year the $4,000 harrington
fund has been placed in our hands and
Its excellent dividends have materially
aided us in our increased demands. The
working force of the society has suffered
no loss-in the permanent withdrawal of
any of it's mem bers although we have
mourned the absence of two Of our Off
GERS who were from the. oity. Our meet
ings have been held at regular intervals
and have been marked by spirit of
most kindly feeling. It is pleasant to
plan and execute under such stimulating
conditions. A hard winter is before u.s.
May the greet Benefaotor inspire our
heartslwit the spirit of elf-saorifce.
