magnifed and their portraits have been
widely circulated. 1t is safe to say that
more has been written about the danger to
human life and comfort from germs dur
ing the last few years than about any 9TH

The transition, therefore, from two
headed snakes to deadly microbes may be
readily understood. When the diseased
brain commences to conjure up horrible
images, it naturally gives preference to
could be more horrible than swarm of
microbes, each one as large as one of its

MEXICAN MATTERS.

C,ity of Mexico, March 23.-The apos-
tolic delegate Averardi, arrived tonight
and was received by the high church dig,,
nitaries. He says his mission Is one OF
good will and pacification. He is entirely
acquainted with the existing dissentions
In the church. He has high regard for
President Daz and is ready to do all in
his power to bring about good feeling
between the church and state.
Preparations are making for the ab0li-
ton of all interstate and intermuniclpal
duties in July and taxes apportioned sci
entifically. The reform is of the greatest
importance and far reaching and Will do
away with immemorial customs and
greatly facilitate international trade.
Finance minister la Y Limantour has
given much attention to perfecting de-
tails for carrying out this reform which Will
be one of the greatest effected under Pres
ident Diaz's administration. Interstate
duties have been one of the greatest OBJ
sto clos to progress in this country and n
solution of the problem has been one de-
handing high degree of financial talent
The government Is studying carefully
the question of port works Mt each END
of the Tehuantepec railway. a road
without good ports can not attain any
high degree of usefulness and some ad-
yiscrs of the government are urging de-
lay to see if the United States intends to
construct the Nicaragua ship canal. The
probability is that Mexico will go ahead
in building ports, for the railway Is Oh
immense Importance to this country.

vetoed by the president and passed over
the veto by the house. The senate modi-
fled the bill to meet the objections raised
by the executive. The bill was passed.
Bills were passed to authorize the
Arkansas Harbor Railway Terminal com
pany to construct a bridge across the
Corpus Christi channel; to amend the act
of March 2, 1893, relating to the promo
ton of safety of employees and travellers
on railroads.
The house then proceeded to the CON
sideration of District of Columbia bust
ness, after which Mr. Henderson Qep.)
of Iowa, chairman of the judiciary com
mittee, called up the Curtis bill abolish
ing the death penalty in certain cases and
murder to bring in verdicts qualified
without the death penalty"
II have no objection to the enactment
of the bill into n law little later on"
said Mr.. Cockrell DEM of Texas, "but
L would like first to get rid of cut thrOats
and robbers wrom the government is pro-
tecting in the Indian Territory"
Mr.. Culberson Dem;) of Texas gave
the bill his support. He said with refer
which 70 were pending, that the district
attorney believed convictions could be
more easily secured If qualified verdicts
were allowed, as few of the murders were
deliberate, premeditated killings.
He criticised the bill. however, because
it made treason punishable only with life
Imprisonment. Although there were
few cases of treason. the crime, in his
opinion, should head the list.
Mr.. Grosvenor (Rep.) Of Ohio opposed
the bill not because IL curtailed the death
penalty, but because he did not believe
that juries should fix penalties. He was
not willing 20 yield his judgment on this
subject to the judiciary committee or
the department Of justice. While the
present attorney general was very dis
tinguished lawyer, he (Grosvenor) did
not believe he had tried criminal case
in his life.
During the progress of the debate, the
disagreement of the senate to the confer
ence report on the Cuban resolutions was
announced, but no action was taken by
the house today.
Mr.. Gillette Rep) of Massachusetts
and Mr.. Hepburn Rep) Of Iowa opposed
the Curtis bill, while Mr.. Ray Rep.) of
New York endorsed it.
Mr.. Little Dem) of Arkansas proposed
an amendment providing that in other
criminal cases the jury should fix the pen
atty not exceeding the maximum fixed by
law. The amendment was defeated, 10
to 90.
Mr.. Gillette offered an amendment,
which was agreed to. GS to II, making
treason punishable by death.

NEW uM-IAM HORROR

Many victims of delrium tremens have
come to suffer from brand new horror.
The time honored visions of snakes, rats
and similar visitors have been more or
less replaced by the poisonous microbes
and bacteria of various kinds which sci.
ence has recently discovered and SO thor
oughly advertised.
The Authorizations of these unfortunates
are borrowed from the most familiar mon.
sters of the time. An ancient Roman,
for instance, after too many of his feasts,
was haunted with visions of the mytho-
logical monsters in which he so firmly be
lieved. AS far as deep research can re-
veal, however, snakes have always been
the particular tormentors of the saloon
supporters.
Science, by discovering an entirely new
terror, has supplied the victim of delirium
tremens with a striking novelty in the way
of Authorizations. Several New York po-
licemen have recently had to deal with
cases of this sort. The visions which
haunted these poor fellows were suggested
by the rather terrifying descriptions of
disease germs with which newspapers
have been crowded of late. The public
has become very highly educated concern
ing the nature of all such germs.
Bacteria of all sorts have come to be
very familiar acquaintances. The doctors
have entertained the public with hair,
raising stories of the dangers from such
germs, which Turk in everything we eat

but they are never enforced. 1t is thought
