A MICROBE-PROOF HOUSE.
A Noted Scientist Puts Up One OF the
oldest Structures ON Ecor.t,

From the San Francisco C,hronicIa
One of the oldest domiciles on earth ia
that recently erected at Yokohama by
DIR. w. Van der Heyden, the noted bac-
teriologlst of Utrecht and Japan. The
doctors house is dust-proof, air-proof,
microbe-proof building of glass. 1t stands
on the open, unshaded grounds of the
Hospital of Yokohama. The house is for
ty-four feet long, twenty-three feet wide
and seventeen inches high Large panes
of glass, one-half inch thick and about
Tour inches apart, are set In iron frames
so as to form the sides of a cellular build
ing block OF these blocks the walls are
constructed. There are no window sashes
the air escape beng through several small
openings around the upper part of the
second-story, but through which no air
from the outside is admitted. The air
supply is obtained from a considerable dis
lance, forced through a pipe and care
fully filtered through cotton wool to
cleanse II of bacteria. To insure further
sterilization the air Is driven against a
glycerne-coated plate of glass, which cap
lures all the microbes the wool spares
The few microbes brought into the house
in the clothes of visitors soon die in the
warm sunlight with which the house is
flooded. The space between the glasses
of the building blocks is filed with a solu-
ton of salts, which absorbs the heat of
the sun, so that the rooms of this house
arc much cooler than those protected by
the thlckest shades. In the evening the
interior is heated by the salts and radat.
Ing the heat they haev absorbed during
the day. SO effective is the system OF
regulating the temperature that a few
hours Of sunlight, even in freezing wealth
er. will render the house habitabe. 1t is
only when several cloudy days follow IN
NE,sk at.
Then 1t is supplied by pumping in hot
air. DR.. Van der Heyden thinks he has
solved the problem of acomplete germicide
on a big scale.

TRADE AT TOWNSVILLE
A Furniture Dealer Reports His Bus
mess Much Improved.

mess Much Improved.
Thomasville, Ga, Jan. 4.-There are
many signs of more prosperous conditions
prevailing in this section. A
furniture dealer recently said to
the Morning News correspondent
that he had had very heavy trade
in furniture with farmers this fall and
winter; in fact, had sold several times as
much furniture to this class of people as
he had ever sold in any one season hith-
erto. The furniture purchased, too, was
often of good quality, This buying was
done by both whites and blacks, and the
dealer thought that others in the trade
had had a similar experience.
There might, however, be an explana-
ton in part at least for this activity in
the furniture line The love of elegance
and comfort is spreading to all classes
and many people are not willing now to
rest satisfied with what, some years ago,
answered their wants fully.

COURT MEETS AT CHARLESTON.
Most of the Cases to Come Up of a
Trivial Nature.

Charleston, S. c.. Jan. 4.-The January
term of the United States district court
convened this morning, Judge Brawley
presiding. The term will be a short one,
as there are not very many cases on the
docket, and with one exception the cases
are all of trivial nature.
The Towles case continued from pre-
vious term. will be the only case of any
Importance before the court. He is up
on twenty-five charges of pension frauds,
and the hearing will probably occupy sew
eral days The date of his trial has not
yet been fixed.
When the court convened no time was
lost in organizing the grand and petit
juries. Julian Porcher was made fore
man of the grand jury.

The whisky Drinking Business.

One of the biggest producers OF whisky
in Kentucky says: after having lived
eighty-one years ] have learned that one
drink Of whisky Is enough, two are toe
many and three are not half enough. ]
have also learned that drinking whisky Is
a business by itself. 1t Is moreover, a
jealous business that doesn't want you
to do anything else. You must attend
strictly to that when you are at st, and
let all other business go. And. sir. it is
a business that doesn't pay on the con-
trary, 1t Is losing business all the time,

AT THE THEATER.
Holmes and WOIfOrd Company Opens
to Booming Business.

to Booming Business.
The popular-price play and cinematra-
graph have taken the town. The theater
was crowded to the doors last night when
the curtain went up for the first time.
The house had been sold out four hours
before the doors opened, and the stand
ing room only sign greeted even the first
corners.
The performance was The Smugglers
and opened the five days engagement of
the Holmes & Wolford Company. The
play was well rendered and we'll staged
The company carries a large amount of
special scenery and promises that each
performance shall be appropriately
staged
The players are uniformly pleasing in
their parts. Mr.. Holmes, MIR. Warren,
Mr.. Fame and Misses Holmes and Talbot
made friends of the audience at once.
The cinematragraph performs the same
functions as does the cinematoscope
which was seen here last week. With the
present company, however, pictures are
shown during each wait. The pictures
are very fine, indeed though 1t is possible
that those seen last week were a bit cler-
er and moved with more smoothness
The play tonight will be the Brand of
Cain. The pictures-a different lst-will
be shown.

The Sousa concerts Saturday afternoon
and night are exciting much interest in
musical circles. They will be the first
that Sousas band has ever given in sa-
vannah. Its fame, however. is sufficient
to fill the theater with music-loving audi
ences Sousa's newest successes in tho
march realm are the stirring numbers
from his brilliant El Captain and King
Cotton, composed In honor of the Atlanta
exposition, and dedicated to the new south.
King Cotton is one of Sousa's most charac-
teristic compositions, and contains that
magnetism and verility found in no mar
tial music as it exists in Sousas. 1t is the
moving life OF Sousa's marches that
makes them famous There Is no such
march music as Sousa writes and his band
plays.

Reform does not necessarily
mean economy; such at least is the
construction put upon it by the
dom inant party in the state legis-
lature. In the question of legisla-
tive printing the contract was given
to populist paper though two
other bidders were lower in price
and the saving to the state would
have been nearly IS per cent. Of
the entire cost. There has been
nothing thus far in the action OF
the present state administration to
indicate that retrenchment and
economy will be the rigid law prac-
ticed. This was promised all
through the campaign which led
up to the election and the admins
tration should begin to practice
what it preached.

spirit of the law is violated every
day. The democrats are voting
tor a populist. but have not and
apparently never will vote for the
populist presented by the party
caucus. The only populist likely
10 be elected is the one whose cleo
ton would secure vacancy in a
state Office, and such vacancy filled
by democrat would take away
the last vestige of power or repre-
sentation the populists have on the
state boards of p lblic affairs. And
this is not all, the perso mel of the
legislative com mittees justifies the
assertion that no populist party
measure will ever pass this session.
1t is evident that things are reach
ing high tension stage among the
allied forces, and when the lines
are broken, as they will be when
the senatorial question is settled,
there will be open rupture and the
combination will be resolved into
its separate elements. Fusion has
received its deathblow at the hands
of its friends.

One.third of the legislative ses-
sion has already passed and not a
single measure has passed excep,
an appropriation bill to pay the
members and attaches, and a join,
resolution supplying them with
stamps, session laws and copies oil
the constitution and revised
statutes. The session has cost
over $ro,ooo and the party of re,
trenchment and reform has nothing
to show the taxpayers. Hundreds
of bills have been introduced, only
about half-a-dozen have received
enough consideration to have them
ordered printed These have not
been distributed and the voters at
large know little or nothing of the
merits or dement's of the proposed
measures. The situation at Boise
seems to be this Nothing will be
done till the senatorial question is
settled. Legislation must wait,
and the taxpayers burdens remain
w.ile the party Of economy, re-
trenchment and reform elects a
senator. The poor taxpayer has
received no relief and the soulless
corporations still continue bu siness
unscathed. Great, indeed, is the re-
form that redeemed Idaho.

The Springfield Republican, s.:

The Springfield Republican, a
republican organ of high standing
illustrates an effective lesson by
the comparison of the senators
chosen in the West and the South
with those chosen by the great
commercial states of the East.
Senator Lodge, it will be remem-
bered, has instituted some invid-
ious comparisons and this very re-
spectacle paper in his own vir-
tuous East defends the weaker
commonwealth. The methods OF
selecting the senators from these
commercial centers loudly call 70,
reform. 1t should not be ionge,
the cry of what is the matter with
Kansas" alone, but the query
might we'll be extended to many
other and more central senatorial
districts. In the West, however
there is biennial exhibition that
appeals to honest people for a
CHI ,nge to direct vote tor this i'm.
portant official. Just now Idaho,
Oregon and perhaps Washington
are the scenes of costly side shows
that overshadow the main circus.
The peoples money is being
squandered for party advantages.
This reform is to come and come
soon. 1t will, however, start from
the West like the blessed chinook
wind and purge the corrupt Eas,
on its course across the continent

legislature to prohibit deficiency
judgments in foreclosure cases.
This Of course would apply only to
future cont acts. AS rule bust
ness men should be permitted to
make whatever deals that best suit
their judgment and convenience.
But as bankruptcy proceedings are
justified we justify this form of re-
lief. With money lenders the
personal security is not considered.
The property pledged is the only
consideration that irfluences the
average loan agent. The capital
loaned IN this country upon realty
is generally from outside specula-
tors who select the class of the Sc
curlty to be exacted. The bust
ness integrity Of the individual is
not estimated in the deal. 1t is
not probable that any class of secu.
rity would be OF less value in this
state than in any other state with
this law in force. A study of the
money question and the rules o
banks will inform any man tha
the character or class of the holder.

Nez Perez county has new ele-
ment of population acquired with
in one year that demand and de-
serve, all the benefits Of good laws,
we'll administered. The new set
tiers upon the reservation are a
thrifty and every way worthy class
Of people, but they are poor people.
They come here because this valley
and these lands and our people
have offered them substantial adj
vautages at this time Of general
financial distress. They are peo-
pie who have had practical lessons
ia economy in the near past. This
lesson insures business success to a
large community in a very few
years. The experience of the past
will make these people cautious Of
debts. The example of mortgaged
homes and ruin is ever present.
There are bright prospects before
these people. The free homestead
law will make them independent
for this rich land will reward their
honest labor. The county, how
ever, will be burdened by the legal
requirements of these good citizens
while this district Is in the course
development. The finances Of the
county should be managed to bring
the full burden. not upon the small
owners of taxable land aud the
large holders Of personal property
at this time. There should be
some equitable means devised to
make the burden lighter till this
large element Of good people are
to bear q just portion Of the public
expenses. This could be done by
the issue of bonds to mature after
the reservation lands become tax
able and the people out there be-
come wealthy.
