whenever 1t was necessary.
In the account of his experiments DIR. Doty
describes twenty-five separate tests, in each
of which three or more varieties of germs
were used Some of the experiments were
about one thousand cubic feet of air space
Others were In an air-tight steel box COM
tanning about 115 cubic feet of air space.
In the series of experiments made with the
steel chamber the disinfeeting solution In
amounts ranging from eight to ten ounces
was exposed for different periods of time.
Into wooden blanket. cultures of different
germs were rubbed, and in fifteen tests In
which quantities as well as the periods Of
time were varied only one culture Of the
germs showed any signs Of growth subse
duent to the exposure to the solution. This
was the diphtheria germ.
Dr. Doty then tried the tests in vacuum,
as that offered less resistnce to the pene-
tration Of the gas. For twelve hours he ex-
posed a quart of the solution. He used the
germs of the Indian plague, OF diphtheria
and Of anthrax. Some were exposed on
linen some were wrapped in blanket, and
others wrapped in newspaper These lived
under the exposure TO the gas, While others
inside an envelope between a single sheet
of paper, and inside a towel, were killed by
the gas in nearly every case.
A greater degree OF success was met in
subsequent experiments. in which Ii was
learned that the gas was given off more
satisfactorily by the use OF solution OF

WILL cUMBACk's LECTURE
Fills IL Place in Y. NJ. G. AS Sunday
Afternoon Service

Will Cumback lectured yesterday after
noon to large audience at the Y. M. c. A
Hall. He urged the necessity for broader
and more cheerful views of life, emphasize
ing the fact that too many men are in
life and death at the same time. 1.-The won
der of philosophers has BEEN" he said
that there is SO much life and so few find
it. While we live we should live for all
there is in life. Death is the antipodes of
life. Why die and live all thy life? Let
us expel death until his time comes" Mr..
Cumback questioned whether religion is not
based to too great a degree on future hap
piness to the exclusion of happiness here.
He wondered whether people had not had
their attention called too much to future
blessings and whether, as result, much of
present joy and delight had not been over
looked
Let not the glories of this life be over
Swallowed by promises for the future Let
us have a more cheerful and broader view
of mortal life If the laws of our fathers
were better understood heaven would come
to us here. Life is a positive experience.
Death is but negative. The experience of
centuries has brought US to the knowl-
cry out, Why are we so poWerleSs to obtain
life and resist deathY Why do we not
take nold on the minute! why DO we Gle
in life? Solomon said: Doth not wisdom
cry and understanding put forth her voice,
crying, Who findeth me shall find lfe?' "
Mr.. Cumback insisted that one great
drawback TO the progress of reformation
is in the dislike men have to look within
and return an indictment against them
selves and demand a trial for their own
shortcomings Men are prone to wall out
that they are not responsible, that their
folly is due to fatal taintS over which they
have no control. They are perfectly will
ing to attempt the salvation of their broth
erS, to point out to others the errors of
their ways, but with persistency ignore the
beams in their own eyes while keeping d
steady gaze on the notes in their brothers
eyes. 'Self-culture and reformation" he
said, ARE contagious"

NEW YORK, Nov 2S.--Mr. Mann, of the
Herald Square Theater, and Mr. Woodruff,
of the Manhattan, are hot on the trail of
some vandai or vandals who have been
cutting great gashes in the plush seat COW
erings in both places of amusement. This
daring bit of vandalism has been done re-
peatedly of late, while the crowds were
leaving the theaters after the evening per-
Torrance Yet so cunning is the offender
that, although the arrangements of both
theaters have been on the watch ever since
a week ago Friday night, they have been
unable, as yet, to catch anyone at il. The
gashed plush seats were first noticed last
Friday night. Five seats close together in
the front row in the Herald Square Theater
were spoiled. The gashes were made along
the seats. In the Manhattan Theater the
seats had been slashed up the back.
Mr.. Mann thought little OF his first dis
covery, but when. couple of nights later
he noticed a bunch of eighteen seats in
row II spoiled in exactly the same manner
ne determined TO set watch on the place.
Men and boys were stationed all over the
theater, but the defacing process continued.
Neither manager can conceive of any rea-
son why any one should wish to deface the
Sc is. They believe it is done either by a
crazy man or by some one with a grudge
against the theaters in question. In despair
the managers have finally appealed to the
police, and expect to catch the rascal by
placing detectives here and there among
the audience. ~"

Renewed Activity I'm Work of SOcie

The attendance at st. Johns Church was
much larger than usual yesterday morning,
and Father Gavisk held the interest closely
with one of his practical sermons. He usu-
ally breaches every third Sunday, alternat-
ing with Father Achatz and Father O'Brien,
but the latter is now i'll. Father Gavisk is
manifesting special interest in the church
societies, and devoted considerable time
yesterday to urging activity along this line
of work. He spoke in general way of the
Importance of the church societies as a
part of the machinery of the church. He
made special mention of the good work of
the Children of Mary, the Young Ladies'
of St. Vincent de Paul. The last-named is
organized for the purpose of taking care of
the poor of the parish, and the father urged
the men of the congregation to attend the
meeting of the society in the library in the
afternoon, Yesterday afternoon the meet
Father Gavisk made a strong address upon
the necessity Of charitable work in the par

VETERANS IN DANGER.

1.-THE old soldier, when he is bachelor
or widower, is running into grave danger

Treasurer Bigler at the subtreasury to-day.
He was speaking of the recent reforms
adopted in paying pensions to the surviving
defenders of the Nation during the some
what late unpleasantneSs, whereby checks
are sent to the veterans, instead of them
crowding into the Pension Office once every
three months, thereby creating no end of
trouble and annoyance for the agent and
his assistants.
gentler sex that the United States govern
nent is bound to pay a pension 10 the WIDOW
of a soldier. Now, man need not to have
been married before he donned the blue and
shouldered a musket for his countryS cause
and the protection of his home. He has the
right to marry any time, whether he be
twenty-five or seventy-five, provided always
that he has no such responsibility as wife
living.
sOne can see therefore, where the danger
to the old soldier lies. He ought to have
some protection from the wiles of those
who will seek to marry him against his
stubborn will. No retreat will be sacred
from the adventurous maid who seeks q
husband, or the widow who desires to have
her marital relations renewed, with the
what dim and distant future. Let him Sc
cure for himself such seclusion as he may
desire. he will be found out by the per-
sistency women apply when looking for
what they want.
II know of certain cases where women
have courted aged and infirm men whose
only source of getting money for a liveli-
hood comes through the Pension Agency
solely for the purpose of securing for her
self his pension when death. which appears
near takes him TO the grave. This has been
SO fully demonstrated by the figures OBJ
tanned at the War Department that it
needs little comment, for, If am not mis-
taken. there are still about half dozen
widows of pensioners whose husbands
fought in the war of the revolution.
'sITnder the present laws this thing Is like
ly to go ON indefinitely. No one knows
how many widows the government Will
have to support through this arrangement.
Some. of course, will be worthy cases; the
most OF them WAL be of this class, perhaps,
but il is a notorious fact that some men
of ninety have married girls of eighteen and
nineteen years. The girls, perhaps, are not
TO blame for this, but those who have an
eye for the future have seen IL, and very
frequently have urged such unions. Now,
If this were generally known among the

who draws anywhere from $24 TO $12 each

own family, upon those that they love dear

let them be not only solicitous, but honest

MIR. Roots,s soap signs.

Francis 7. Roots who represented Wayne
and Fayette in the last Legislature, was at
the Denisen House yesterday having just
returned from New York. His journey East
was occasioned by little item he noticed
in the Journal to the effect that the Levers,
the greatest soap manufacturers of Great
Britain, were going to establish factory in
the United States to avoid the payment of
tariff duties and that the head of the con-
Germ was coming to America to arrange
the matter. Mr. Roots says he had already
sold this concern $4,000 worth of the nov
city signs manufactured by his company
at ConnerSville, and while in New York
closed contract for $4,000 more.
Some of Mr.. Roots's friends have sug-
gested that he become a candidate for the
Republican nomination for secretary of
state, and he is seriously considering MAX
ing the race.
