fecting Apparatus.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Augusta, July s7.-The quarterly meet
ing of the State Board of Health was
held at the office of ths board at the
State House, at 10 O'Clock this forenoon
There were present Drs. A. R.G. Smith
of Whitefeld, @. M. Woodcock of Ban
gor, Prof. &c. Robinson of Brunswick,
IL. @. Jordan apd DR.. Charles u. Smith
Of Portland, and che secretary, DR.. A. G..
Young oflAugusta. The morning session
was occupied by listening to reports
from the secretary of his work In various
parts Of the state.
During the afternoon, Prof. Robinson
gave practical dem onstration Of lamp
which he has invented for practical dis
Infection.
The apparatus consists of a Cylinder
Into which wood alcohol is continuously
fed from tank similar to that of Ger
man students lamp. In the top of the
cylinder Is fitted diaphraghm Of copper
gauze consisting Of two layers, between
which Is layer of especial active ma
terial. Upon the application of gentle
heat fthe gauze the alcohol below be-
gins to vaporize and change into fornic
aldehyde, a gas having the gemioidaI
properties Of sulphurous acid gas. such
as is generated by burning sulphur, but
in a greater degree. The vaporization
progresses, as long as alcohol is supplied.
Prof. Robinson detailed experiments
which had been made at the Bowdoin
laboratories upon pure cultures of dis
ease germs and upon infected bedding
and clothing. by which the germs were
quickly killed. Subsequent cultures
made from infected articles were found
after exposure Of the fabrics to the
fumes from the lamp to have been abso
lutely sterilized.
Sanitarians have for some time been
tying to find method of utilizing
fomio aldshyde as a practical disinfeo-
tant on account of its cheaper, and this
lamp seems to offer ready solution of
the problem. About pint Of the alcohol.

of the Situation.
New York, july 2s.-Mark Hanna said
today he would probably be here week.
His objeot was to establish headquarters.
Incidentally he let out the fact that he
was hree tor the purpose of patching up
the differences between the two factions
of the Republioansparty.
When asked where the Republican
headquarters would be, he said: "Gen.
Osbourne has satisfied himself that the
rooms in the Metropolitan Insurance
Company's building on Madison avenue,
would be the proper place wherein to
hold the meetings of the Organization in
this city.
In short talk with report ter, Mr..
Hanna said: ~ am not infallibie. II
any one attending the regular Republi-
can convention thinks he knows more
than do about the political situation
and is willing to advance opinions and
can convince me Of the error of my ways,
or Ii he thinks his arguments are strong
enough to enroll me In the fold of the
silverites, I am perfectly willing to be
convinced" !"

GAY HALIFAX.
The CarnivaIsIs Witnessed by Great
Crowd,

Halifax, N. S., July 2S.-The weather
was grand this afternoon for the opening
events of the carnival regatta. A pretty
stiff wind made the water somewhat
rough at the beginning, but it moderated
almost to calm before the last race.
The single scull contest, the big event
was concluded about 73O. There were
seven starters. Gaudaur, Hanlon,
Bubear Durnan, Rogers, Casey and
Loveitt. The prizes were $500, $3.50 and
300. 1t was pretty race and sternly
fought near the end for second place, but
was easy victory for the favorite, Jake
Gaudaur, who pushed his she'll in front
at the start and rowed quite leisurely
over the three mile course and finished
ahead apparently without the least dis
comfort, by more than eight Lengths.
The other men did not row very hard
on the first half of the course, reserving
themselves until after the turn. On the
way down Loveitt fouled buoy and was
upset, being picked up by row boat.
On the way home, Baubear, who was be-
hind Hanlon and Rogers, and knew he
he'd no show, rowed away from the
course. At the turn Casey was out Of the
lace. Durnan was second; Rogers third i;
Hanlon fourth. Gaudeuar's time was
20.25. Hanlon pulled the fastest stroke
of all the competitors, reaching "a at one
time.
- The four cared contest between the
Wanderers Of Halifax, d crew from ST.
John and one from Dartmouth, expected
to bs exciting, proved procession. the
Wanderers winning with ease, and the
ST. John men coming In far behind the
Dartmouth crew.
The race in the Labrador whalers, be-
tween a crew from cable steamer Nc
Kay Bennett and Young Ed ward crew of
Halifax, was won easily by the former,
but the prize was awarded to the Young
Edwards, because the Mckay Bennett
men went the wrong way in getting
around the turnging point.
The race in the men-0f-war gigs be-
tween three crews from the British war
ships In port was won by boat from the
Tartar.
An enormous crowd witnessed the races.

l1ut at Barbados they concluded to re-
main on the vessel until she got back to
Portland and we loaded at Turks Island,
vhither we went in ballast, for this port.
After we had been out about day
rom Turks island, one of the sailors
lamed John Anderson, began to suffer
intense pain from his hand. which
swelled up until it was terrible sight.
Anderson was 80 SICK that he could hard
y stand up, but Mate Jenkins compelled
him to do his regular work about the
vessel, and to stand his two hours trick
at the wheel, the same as the Others. An
other man named Ouloff, was also very
sick, land for a while we thought he was
going to die. Terrible sores appeared on
his legs and his limbs were so badly
swollen that he could hardly stand But
Jenkins made him take his trick at the
wheel, and do other work, although the
poor fellow was suffering agonies nll the
time.
$500 WAITING,
"The mate seemed to take f1endish
delight In abusing these two men.
Only two days out of Portland, Jenkins

with heavy shoe, and this was done out
of pure ugliness and nothing else. On
our arrival here the men who had been
a bused entered complaint and today
the United States deputy narshals
visited the vessel several times in search
of Jenkins, but could not find him. He
has $500 in money awaiting him at the
shipping commissioners office, but he
has not been near them to get his pay.
and he has not been seen on board the
vessel since Monday"
1t was impossible to locate 4 other
members of the Elias crew last night,
but the sailor who was the PRESSES in
formant, says all of the other men on the
vessel will corroborate his story and will
testify to the above facts and many more

THE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY

of it's suppression for beverage purposes, if
peace and prosperity and the blessings
of God are to rest upon and abide with
our people, i do not underestimate the
fact that there are other questions over
which the public mind Is seriously agi-
tated, and which are being pressed for
speedy settlement There is the question
of a stable and at the same time an elias
tic Currency, equal to the demands of
business for every section of the country,
and yet every dollar of which should be
of equal value and the whole based on o
standard equal to the best In the world
The United States cannot afford without
dishOnor to have money bearing its
stamp inferior to that of any country on

The question Of the maintenance of the
credit of the government, on which its
honor is based and for which every one
worthy of the name of an American oiti-
zen is or should be profoundly jealous, Ia
one of vast Importance.
Again a proper adjustment Of the tariff,
SO that labor can have its just protection
without at the same time giving undue
protection to the manufacturing interests
