Bailington Booth Ordained by Bishop

Chicago, Sept. lo.-Ballington Booth,
commander OF the American Volunteers,
was on Monday ordained presbyt ter
of ell Evangelical churches in the pres
ence of ministers of the Presbyterian,
Methodist, Congregational and Re-
formed Episcopal churches.
The officiating minister was Bishop
Fallows, of St. Paurs church, where
the ceremony was performed. All the
staff officers under Commander Booth
will also be ordained members of a
Protestant church, among them Col.
Fielding. of Chicago; Col. Woolly, of
Buffalo, and Maj. Blackhurst, of San
Francisco. The fact that the leader
of the new salvation army was to be
ordained was kept secret until Mon
day, and the announcement was a sur
prise to his friends and the Volunteers.
The ordination means a radical de-
parture from the fundamental Saliva
ton Army law as laid down by the
commanders father, and a close af-
filiation with the church organizations
Commander Booth addressed the Prot
estant ministers of Chicago at the
First Methodist church in the MORN
ing, explaining that it was the aim of
the volunteers to become an auxiliary
of the church. reaching those whom the
shurch did not. The ministers were
won over to his support by the fervent
appeal for recognition and aid.
AT a meeting of the Volunteers and
their friends Monday night in the Peo-
pies Institute theater Commander
Booth announced that Col. Fielding had
been promoted to be brigadier general
in command of the northwestern forces.

MAINE VOTES.
The State Election Results in n Victory
for the Republicans.

Portland. Me-, Sept. l5.-The cam
paign which eliminated Monday in
the election of Powers (rep.) for gov
ernor has oeen the most active known
for years upon both sides. 1t has been
a speaking campaign almost enthely,
and the entire state has been well COW
cred. There We're five candidates for
the Office of governor. who is the only
state officer chosen by the people, all
others being chosen by the IegisIa-
ture. The name of one of these, Will
liam Henry Clifford, of Portland, the
nominee of the '.sound money" demo-
Gratis, was not upon the official ballot,
and those voting for him were obliged
TO write his name upon their ballots.
The other candidates we're Hon. Level
lyn Powers, of houlton, republican:
Hon. Melvin p. Frank, of Portland,
Democrat; Ammi S. Laid, of Calais,
prohibitionist, and Luther c. Bateman,
of Auburn, populist. Congressman,
county officers, state senators and rep
resentatives to the legislature were
also elected.
The average estimate of the repub-
iOi WIS ~0fo'Vs
as compared with about $4,000 in 1894
and l2,500 in 1892. but the vote through
out the state was larger than antici-
pated and the majority of Powers, the
republican, is larger than the most en-
thusiastic republican dared predict. the
latest returns indicating that il will
reach nearly $4,000. In nearly every
county, the county officers are repub-
lican by much larger pluralities than
ever before known. and in some coun-
ties no candidates were put in the field
by the democrats.
Mr. Reeds plurality will reach 10, 900,
the largest he has ever received, and his
friends are so elated that they rendered
him serenade. The returns show q ma
jority of about 10000 for Mr., Dinghy
for congressman from the Second dis
trict, over 10000 for Mr.. Milliken in the
Third district, and practically the same
for Mr.. Boutelle in the Fourth district.
In the state legislature the democrats
will apparently have less than dozen
OF the representatives in the house, and
not one in the senate.

Who f. TO Get It7

The free coinage programme, as set
forth in Mr.. Bryan's platform and pub
lie utterances, is that any owner of sill
yer bullion shall be permitted to take 10
a government mint all his silver bullion,
have it coined into silver dollars free OF
charge to him, and have it returned to
him in currency. In each of these dol
lars are to be put 412Is grains of silver,
now worth in the market so cents.
Now, what is there in that programme
that contemplates giving the people
more money? Suppose, take an ex-
IRENE case, that on the morning this
free coinage programme went into
effect the owners of silver bullion cart
ed to the government minis enough
bullion to make 10000, 0O0,0 900 silver dol
lars. Suppose the minis were able to
coin this bullion into dollars imme-
diately and that before shutdown the
men who had transported their bullion

10000 900 900 silver dollars Suppose,
furthermore, that these silver dollars
in the possession of the men who bah
owned the bullion were 50-eent dollars.

any other kind of dollars, how many of
them would belong to the people who
had not originally possessed silver bull

DisINFEcTloN OF THE SKIN.
Soap aud Water Does Not Remove AR
the Impurities.

the I'm PGrAthce. 0
The New York Heralds Europeans
edition leports some interesting experi-i
ments of If. Lauenstein, a Hamburg
physician, upon the disinfectior of tho
skin.
1t is generally supposed that little
soap ami water viii remove all impuri-
lies from the skin. But these expert
! ments of NJ. Lauenstein prove that 1t is
ly no means easy 10 disinfect it, even
"by minute washings and the most Sc
we're antiseptic applications"
In 147 operations he first removed a
small piece of epidermis; % OF these
cases lad merely been washed with
water. whereas the remaining ia had
had the operative field dis.nfected with
ether, alcohol and solutions of sub
innate of chlorine. The little pieces OF
skin taken from the latter and tested by
the usual methods of culture were
found to be exempt from germs In 40
cases only.
The practical conclusion 10 be drawn
from these experiments IS that disinfec-
ton of the skin is difficult TO realize,
that a quantity of baths must be given
and that too many precautions cannot-
lie taken and no detail is superfluous.
As regards hospital practice NJ. Lauen-
STEMS experiments show that IL is far
preferable not to operate on patients as
soon as they are admitted, but only
when they have been subjected to re-
peated snd thorough cleansing and dis
infection. For greater security it is adj
vised to have series Of washings with
soap and of frietions with alcohol. ether
corbolic acid and sublimate, the portion.
% the boly TO be treated being protect-
I'D during each seance By fresh anti
septic dressings the only security
