Tho Germ OF Death.

The germs of cholera, diphtherin,
consumption-of nearly all the dis.
eases, in q word-have been identifel
and photographed. Measures have
been taken to exterminate them or 10
;nullify their pernicious activity in the
human system. Now we have the bacil-
'lus of death itself. A Brooklyn physt-
Icinn, after close microscopic research,
has discovered in corpuscles of human
blood the germ whose life is death
the death of mankind. The physician
who has made this startling discovery is
G. Fish Clark, of Brooklyn. DIR. Clark
is now studying the germs habits, with
the view TO devising means that will
destroy it, or at least keep it at bay
DIR. Clark is confident of success. II,
believes that he can kill the death germ
or ut nll events can so check it's ravage,
that life may be greatly prolonged. II,
does not gu so far as to say that lon
Revity equal to that which prevailed in
the days of Methuselah will be attained
but he Is confident that he has a clew to
,the secret Of the remarkable ages
which he believes men in remote ger-
trations attained. DIR. Clark is grad
nate of medical college OF Philadel-
'phia, and he has been in practice in
Brooklyn for number of years. In
addition to his regular routine profess
.hional work he has long devoted much
time to microscopic research and to
the study Of the germ theory of dis
ease. 1t was in the course of studies of
this kind, consisting of microscopical
examinations of human blood corpus
cles, that he made the discovery of what
l,e believes 10 be the veritable germ of
death-the "mortis bacillus" as he
has named it.

The proverbial inability of the hu-
man creature to profit by observation
and experience is illustrated anew in
far-off Alaska. Thousands of men
Joined the rush to those northern gold
fields last spring, and before the sum-
mer ended found themselves in most
distressing circumstances. So great
was the throng of resourceless pros
pectors that the Alaska Commercial
company deemed it prudent to give a
large number Of them free Transports
tion to the states rather than attempt
to protect throughout the winter the
company's stores in Alaska from the
depredations of men made desperate

CHICAGO. July ITO say that the
8oies boomers are merely angry at the
action OF seven members of the Iowa
delegation in the convention today is
drawing it very mild The seven who
had their votes recorded FOR Hill today
were disciplined tonight by the remain
ing members of the delegation 1t is said
that four of the seven are gold men. the
other three bling straight for is to /. Some
OF the men who voted for Hin acknowl-
edged that II was mistake, and are
very sorry that the break was made. The
scouts and Sklrmishers who came in
from the various delegations since the
convention adjourned report that the ac-
ton of the seven men was a stab under
the fifth rib for Boies. They say that in
soras delegations they heard it asserted
that the break in Iowa was disastrous
10 Boies, and that 1T is all up with
Uncle Horace" Notwithstanding the
fact that the entire twenty-six votes
were cast with the silver majority, the
Iowa men feel that the
EFFECT IS VERY DISASTROUS
and say that hereafter. with silver
chairman. a poll of the delegation will
not be allowed. Some of the Boies
workers state that they haA been met
at other headquarters with the remark:
How do you expect TO win, when your
own state is not solid for your candi-
date?"
1t is said by the Boies men that the ac-
ton of the Iowa delegates who insisted
upon poll of the delegation and voted
against a silver chairman was viola
ton of an agreement and that they might
as well have voted directly against
Boies.
Your own men are not for him. said
one OF the leaders from the Kansas dele
CATION when visited by a scout in the
interest of Boies, and how do you ex-
pect us TO be for him or support a man
who loses seven out Of twenty-six votes
m his state"
The .Boies men are particularly angry
because Iowa was the first state that
made a kick and insisted that the dele
cation should be polled. The
MANAGERS OF THE BoIES BOOM
do not believe that the effect will be as
bad as the skirmishers report, because
ii is known that four delegates are gold
men and that il was a personal compli-
nent TO Senator Hill that brought over
three others. They say that during the
day they have made gains in various
parts of the country and that there are
still many friendly delegates who will
vote for Governor Boies as soon as their
favorite sons or first choice candidates
are out Of the way.
1t was stated that the vote in conven-
ton today indicated that
BLAND COULD Non g NOMINATED
unless the two-thirds rule was abrogated,
and the belief was expressed that Baies
was the only man that could secure
enough delegates outside of the SILVER
delegation to nominate.
It was also said that Iowa would not
vote TO abrogate the two-thirds rule, and
II was claimed that number of these
states will also be against changing this
although they are very strong for silver.

CHICAGO, July THE last feature
of decoration to be put up within the
convention hall was the picture of the
Democratic president. 1t was due to
some question as to the exact propri-
ETY. of using a picture of living man,
it being urged by some that statues
and portraits of living personages
should not be put up in public places
As Mr. Cleveland is the only living
Democratic president. the question ap-
piled more particularly to the heroic
representation of him. 1t was finally
decided to put up the pictures of both
living and dead, but the work was not
completed until few hours before the
convention opened 1t relieved the de-
corators of LONG SUSPENSE.
