IN THE HOUSE
A Territorial Divorce Law Passed and Postal
Matters Considered

| A Territorial Divorce Law Passed and Postal
Matters Considered
WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The house to-
day witnessed the perennial attempt to cut
off the appropriation for special mail facil-
tiles between Boston, via New York and
Washington, to Atlanta and New Orleans.
This appropriation has been carried in the
postoffice bill since 1888. This year it
amounted to $780, 900 and coupled with it
were appropriations for special facilities
| between Kansas City and Newton, Kas.,
and Chicago and Council Bluffs. Iowa.
The latter items, however, went down be-
! fore points of order.
! An attempt was made to rule out the
but Mr.. Payne of New York overruled the
point. The motion to strike out was de-
feated, SO to 116. The postoffice bill was
not disposed of. During the morning hour
bill was passed making years ''con-
tinuous residence in territory pre-
requisite to obtaining divorce in such
territory. The bill was aimed at Oklahoma
territory, where but ninety days residence
is required.
Soon after assembling the house went
into committee of the whole on the post
Office appropriation bill.
Cromwell (Republican Of Ohio) read a
| letter from the assistant postmastef-geu.
eral stating that the appropriation OF
$4,000 Was inadequate for the purpose
| of transporting mails on electric and cable
cars on roads not exceeding twenty miles
in length.
Mr.. Picker Republican of South Da.
kota) inquired why in the face of such a
statement from the department a requisite
sum had not been provided.
Mr.. Loud, chairman of the postoffice
committee, replied that the latter had not
been laid before the committee.
'Why," asked Mr.. Fickler, twas this I'M
digested bill brought before the house ?'
1t had been rumoret, he stated, that there
had been wide difference of opinion in
, the committee. 1t had been said that the
| chairman bore down on the committee on
many occasions and carried his point.
Mr.. Loud replied that this was utterly
| false.
M. Ogden, Democrat, Louisiana, en-.
tered q protest against Mr. Pickler's state.
ments. The provision relating to the
methods of transporting mail by street cars
and providing for free transportation of
letter carriers on the street cars were
stricken out as new legislation. When the
provision appropriating $4,000 for
| special mail facilities on trunk lines from
Boston, New York and Washington to At
lanta and New Orleans was reached, Chair
man Loud, who opposed this and the two
other mail subsidies in the bill, from Chi
cage to Council Bluffs and from Kansas
City 10 Ne"toi,has., put WHO was out-Voteu
IN the committee, raised point of order
against these provisions.
Mr.. Crisp termed this action of the chair
man OF the committee "a complete novel;
ty." He called attention to the TACT that
the bill of last year contained the provision
for the special mail facilities from New
York to New Orleans.
| Mr.. Bingham, Republican, Pennsyl-
wanna, and MIR. Settle. Republican, North
| Carolina, also vigorously opposed the point
of order. This item has always precipi.
tated opposi ion.

One of the Most Prominent and Es-
Unable German Citizens Passed
Away at His Home in Pleasant
Valley---A Brief Sketch of His Ca
reer.

John Pfarr died yesterday at his
home in Pleasant Valley, after brler
illness. In his death the public loses
an enterprising, public spirited citizen,
a representative Of that class OF Ger
man-Americans who are loyal to the
land of their adoption, and who, by their
strict integrity and thrift, have helped
TO build up the city. Although he has
lived a retired life for number OF
years. he was widely known and was
generally esteemed for his many admir-
able qualities.
John Pfarr was born March "a, 1924,
and was therefore in the seventy-thlrd
year of his age at the time OF his death.
He has two sisters still living, both OF
whom are older than him, one being 80
years Of age Mr.. Pfarr was born at
Flaunschien by Mannheim, Germany.
When but sixteen he came to America,
going to Cincinnati, where he remained
until 1S47, when he removed to Wheel
ing. He has lived here continuously
ever since. His first wife was sister
of the late Geo. w. Franzheim. In
1S49 he married Katherine Hook. He
is the father of seven children living,
and four dead Those living are Mrs.
John Friedel, Mrs. F. c. H. Schwert-
feger, and Mrs. John Klett, OF Wheel
ing; Mrs. VIM. Wirth, of Cinconnati
Mrs. Maxwell, of Toledo; and a son and
daughter who live ut home.
For many years Mr.. Pfarr was in the
carriage manufacturing business. In
1870 he was a partner in the Arbeiter
Freund. German evening paper. In
1872 he withdrew from active business
and lived a retired life until the time
of his death. He was member of the
German Pioneers. and a consistent
member of St Johns German Protest
ant Church. His funeral will take place

It is more than likely that the plant
of the West Virginia Glass Company,
in Martins Ferry, which has been idle
since June of last year, will again be
placed in operation after the summer
stop. 1t will be remembered that the
plant was sold some time ago, and was
bought in for $4,000, which is consid-
cred very low price. The purchase
ers secured a new charter organized a
company with capital stock Of $780,
900 and will turn the plant into the new
company for what it cost.
The Board of Directors held a meet
ing yesterday afternoon, in the office OF
their plans for again placing the con-
Germ in operation. The owners of the
plant will subscribe an additional $20,-
600. and the citizens OF Martins Ferry
will be asked TO subscribe $4,000. The
company fels that the citizens, business
men especially, should be interested in
the matter, and they announce that
they mean businss, and will certainly
start the factory if the amount named
is subscribed. 1t is not likely that
much difficulty will be experienced in
this matter.
The Directors also elected Mr.. W. B.
McGregor, OF Huntington, as general
manager. Mr.. McGregor has had con-
siderable experience in the glass bust
ness. He is at present receiver for the
Huntington Glass Company, and IS
winding up the affairs OF that concern.
He was also at one time manager of the
Fairmont Glass Company's plant.
1t is the intention to start the West
Virginia factory after the sumner shut
down, provided the necessary amount Of
stock is subscribed in Martins Ferry
Mr.. McGregor says the plant is one Of
the finest in the country, and that 1t
can be run profitably. He expects to
employ about $50 hands, and the week
ly pay roll will amount to about $4,000.

Fighting Fire with Fire.

One of the great achievements of the
future is to be the utilization Of an
tagonistic bacilli in stamping out dis.
eases of various grades. 1t is thought
that there will in time be discovered
germs that will act as spiders do upon
flies and cats upon mice. They will
simply grapple with and destroy them
In number of instances accidental in
oculation Of patients suffering from
malignant disease with the germ OF
some other equally serious malady has
resulted in the restoration of the pa.
tient to health. Just how this is done,
just why 1t is, no one seems able to un-
derstand, but facts justify this conclu-
sion. In one case the patient was con-
sidered hopelessly i'll with an incur.
able disease. A careless physician
brought from another patient the
bacilli of an equally serious ailment
with which the sufferer was shortly at.
tackled. After number of weeks OF
extreme exhaustion and suffering, to
the astonishment Of everybody who
knew the circumstances, the man be.
gan to mend and ultimately recovered
bearing no evidence of either disease,
which seemed to have spent their force
on each other and left the system al
most clean. IT will be an interesting
day for medical science when doctors
can bring out an srmy of erysipelas ol
other hRcilli to fight the germs o.
equally pal'gnant diseases.-N. Y
