old Vesuvius Wakes Up.

Old Vesuvius has begun grumbling
again and splitting out fire and ashes.
For more than eighteen months the
grim old volcano kept quiet, and the
people of Naples, Italy, who are al
ways more, or less afraid of its erup!
tions, began to think that it had gone
out. But it was only taking a nap;
now it has walked up, and down its
sides two streams of boiling lava are
flowing, and some of the settlers on
the mountain may yet have to flee for
their lives. A fussy old volcano isn't
a pleasant thing to live neighbor to, it

Necessity fOr Individual Communion
Cups.


A special committee Of Boston
church has rendered it's report on the
desiiahility of individual communion
cups for church sacramento service.
The report sets forth that whereas
FORMERLY the church was in many re-
spects q large family, wherein the life
and actions of each We're known to the
others, we now-outside our own cir
Gle of Cquaintances-know but little
regarding the actual life of those
around us. As a result, we are ignor-
ant Of the physical condition of those
who are sitting Immediately at cur
side or before us, and the question,
whether we wish to use the same
drinking cup as they do, is one of very
serious Importance, both from a SAM
tary as well as from an aesthetic point
of view" While it is admitted that
the danger of Introducing m1cro-organ-
ismS into the system through the
mouth by means of the communion
cup is small, its actual existence is in
sisted upon. 1t is pointed out that the
acute contagious diseases, measles,
scarlet fever, etc, are for the most
part ulSpdSeS VI anu CiI
but little risk Local diseases of the
mouth, transmittable by micro-organ-
isms, have to be reckoned with. Con-
sumption could be transmitted to an
abraded surface, and so furnish an en-
trance for contagion Recent inyesti-
cations show that persons suffering
from mild sore throats may have pres
ent micro-organisms which are capa-
BILE Of producing the malignant forms
of diphtEeria. Not only this, but per-
sons who have recently recovered from
this disease and arc feeling compara-
lively we'll may for weeks carry micro
organisms which are capable of setting
ND the Severest forms of diphtherla.
Furthermore, persons with virulent Ut
cerations in their mouths, resulting
from serious diseases of the blood,
have been known to go to the commu'
Mon table, and the possibilities thus
opened out are not little alarming.
The committee states that individual
communion cups are now in use in
over sixty places of worship, and III
the cause Of health and cleanliness,
and in view Of the facts presented, it
recommends their adoption by it's own

est court on this precise question rem
derS it quite doubtful whether the evils
of trusts and monopolies can be ade-
quately treated through federal action
unless they seek directly and purposely
to include in their objects transporta-
ton or intercourse between states or
between the United States and foreign
countries.
1t does not follow, however, that
this is the limit of the remedy that
may be applied. Even though it may
be found that federal authorities not
broad enough to fully reach the case,
there can be no doubt of the power of
the several states to act effectively in
the premises, and there should be no
reason to doubt their willingness to jul
diciously exercise such power.
He then concludes as follows: "When
our differences are forgotten and our
contests Of political opinion are no
longer remembered, nothing in the ret
respect of our public service will be as
fortunate and comforting as the recol-
lection of official duty well performed
and a memory of a constant devotion
to the interests of our confding fellow
countrymen.'

SILVER TIDE TO BE sTEMMED.
Sixteen to One Delegates to Be
Flooded With Appeals.

Washington, June .-Administratio ton
democrats here are cooperating with
w c. Whitney in New York in his effort
to stem what is termed the silver tide,
and to change the apparent silver com
plexion of the Chicago convention into
one for gold. The first practical move
in that direction made here has been to
secure a list of all the delega tes-e1ect to
the Chicago convention. More than two
thirds of these have been chosen. All
the delegates chosen who are either in
structed for silver or are believed to in
cline to silver, will a once be communi-
Gated with personally. These delegates
for weeks past, have been receiving
"sound money" literature from the New
York and Boston reform clubs, but they
will now, 1t is asserted, be solicited by
letter. Efforts will also be made to ascer-
tain their standing in their communities
and what influence, il any, of a local or
national nature can be brought to bear
on them to change their views on the
money question.
To this end prominent bankers and mer-
chants in the communities in which the
delegates reside will be written to for
infoTma ton, and when in hand, this in
formation, with any political pressure
can be brought from their fellow demo-
Gratis, locally or nationally, will be util-
lied in the direction of the well known
views of the administration.

day under the direction of DR.. j. G.. Grif-
fifth of Kansas City, a member Of the Unit
ed States Association of Military Surgeons
and chairman Of the committee on testing
new guns, assisted by a dozen assistants
The object of the test was to find out the
relative effects Of the Krag-Jorgensen gun
from humane point of view, as compared
with other army rifles. This test has de-
monstrated to the minds of those who
participated, that the Krag-JOrgensen gun
cannot be called humane gun. At dis
tances up to 1000 yards the explosive
quality of the Krag-Jorgensen bullets, and
consequently the cruelty Of It's use, Is ter
rife.
The explosive quality is most marked in
lung tissues being terribly torn and the
by a bullet they are much mutilated.
Blood vessels are cut, not torn hence the
