MORE FUMIGATION.
The Latest Fad About Consumption
to be Experimental on Here.

City Physician Mitchell says that
there is an alarming increase in the
cases of consumption or tuberculosis in
Topeka. He figures that one-seventh Of
the deaths in Topeka are from con-
sumption and when it is considered that
deaths from at least Is different causes
are occurring continually it will be seen
that the proportion is alarming.
During the past month there were 30
deaths and seven of them from con-
sumption. The rest were divided
among Is different diseases. The month
before there were 46 deaths and seven
We're due to consumption.
City Physician Mitchell said in speak
ing Of the increase in tuberculosis: 4
consider the progress made by this dis
ease in Topeka somewhat alarming L
attribute it in a great measure to care
lessneSS. People never seem to under
stand that consumption is infectious. It
is germ disease and people can and do
contract it from others. Too much care
cannot be exercised in nursing a patient
with consumption and I think that
many cases would be avoided if pro-
per care was exercised.
I order the house where person
dies of consumption fumigated but
many times do not hear of the death
until it is too late. It is only recently
that the system of fumigating of houses
where a patient has died of consump-
ton was commenced in Topeka and I
am sorry that we cannot follow it more
closely"
Most of the Topeka doctors say that
though consumption may be infectious.
it is only so in the most remote degree.
Thousands of cases are known in which
period of years fails to show any in

MAY PARDON CHAPMAN.
But the Broker Fears Communism
VIII Send Him to Jail

New York, May 5.-It-is said here that
E. r. Chapman, the broker convicted
of contempt in refusing to testify before
the senate committee in the sugar trust
scandal. viii be pardoned by President
Mckinley. s~ss
Mr.. Chapman was fined 800 and sen
fenced to so days imprisonment-the
lowest penalty that could be imposed
by the court.
Friends of the broker assert that as
SuranceS have been received from
Washington that the president VIII in
terfere in his behalf, and Mr.. Chap
man himself is so impressed with this
view of the matter that he has made no
plans for going to 'Rrison.
The disposition of Broker Chapman is
of considerable Importance, as if the
president should take no action in his
case the probabilities are that H. 0.
Havemeyer and J. E. Searles of the su-
gar trust and Broker A: L. Seymour
will have to go to jail with Chapman.
Mr.. Chapman when interviewed, said:
Il have heard the report that the
president intended to interfere. and
while hope the stories are true, am
not so Sanguine as many of my friends.
To my mind politics will be an i'm
portant factor in deciding what may
be done. In the west there is a strong
POpuliStic feeling and where that senti-
ment prevails am regarded as a rep
resentative of the sugar trust, and there
fore deserving of punishment AS
matter of fact, the firm OF which L am
a lnGHlOGE HAS never OSe@AL d. C@AlCAA9AN
ly in sugar as in other securities. But
rightly or wrongly, many people in the
west consider me a wicked man who
ought to be. punished.
1.-The decision in my case raises a Sc
rious question Under it privileged com
munication are placed at the disposal
of congress, and if the possessor of the
information does not divulge it jail is
his portion. Nor is it confined to brOk-
ers. Newspaper men are just as liable.
am much afraid that serious times
are coming for this country for the
spirit of communism is steadily growing.
I hope for the best, but really 1 am not
so hopeful as I might be-"

COTTAGES FOR THE AGED.
Denver Ladies' Relief to Adopt a
Modern Plan.

Denver May 5.-The Ladies' Relief
society will this afternoon be worth
$4,000 in cash, the result of the sale of
ten lots at the corner of Eighth and
Logan avenues to John F. Campion.
On the ground the society owns is a
three story and basement building, IN
der whose roof are IA old ladies and %
to 80 children. AS soon as the society
has selected a suitable site farther from
the center of the city, it will construct
number of cottages which will be
used for homes of old, homeless and in
digent couples. The present building
will then be torn down. Under the
new plan of the society it will no longer
care for the children, and those at pres
ent under its charge will be distributed
among the various orphanages and
nurseries in the county. The latter in
situations are far more numerous than
institutions where respectable old folks
can ind a resting place in their de-
Ginning years.
It Will not be a house for tramps, the
trustees say, but for those who have
the Endorsement of a church, a society
or whose families have scattered and
they have small means with which to
help pay part of their expenses.

NOTED PASTOR RESIGNS.
Congregation Objects to a Proposed
Series of Sermons on ''The Devil
in PHILADELPHIA
Philadelphia, May 5.-Rev. Rfchal

Philadelphia, May 5-Rev. Richard
Harcourt, D. D, pastor of the Park
Avenue Methodist Episcopal church,
has become dissatisfied with his rela-
tons at the church and at a meeting
of the quarterly conference he an
nounced his intention of asking the pre-
siding elder for a change of pastoral
relations at the end of the conference
year. DIR. Harcourt's request will be
made because of objections recently en-
tered to a series of sermons he had an
nounced that he would preach. He is
now in the second year of his passionate
at the church.
DR.. Harcourt was originally in the
service of the Protestant Episcopal
church, and has been in the ministry
for twenty-five years. He formerly
was in charge of the largest Methodist
church in San Francisco, and, later,
was pastor for five years of Grace
church in Baltimore. At the Park
Avenue church he was the successor of
the venerable DR.. Chapman, and, at the
recent conference in Bethlehem, his
services had apparently been so salts
factory that he was again appointed
to the pastorate at the unanimous re-
quest of the congregation. Since then
all the trouble has arisen. The proposed
sermons were to have been delivered
under the general head of THE Devil

Usually this club is in camp by the

LIONS IN HIS HOUSE.
A California Farmer Finds a Family
of the Animals Under His
StairwaV,

San Francisco. May 5.-The cellar of
a house inhabite by human beings IS
a strange place for wild beasts to make
their home, yet this has happened lar
back in the hills, near SunOl, Alameda
county, where Antonio Nunez, a
farmer lives with his family ANTONIO
is a thrifty and industrious man and
has prospered. Two weeks ago ne
moved from his old home into another
house that had not yet been occupied
For several days after Antonio ana
his family moved into their new nome,
they heard strange sounds coming ap-
parently from the cellar. As Antonio
was busy with his farm work and those
al the house were engaged in setting
things to right, no effort was made to
ascertain the cause of the sounds. But
when day after day passed ana the
noise from the cellar did not cease,
Nunez determined to make an invest1-
cation. Though courageous Antonio is
discreet and he called in few friends
to his assistance. Armed with shot
guns thew made their way into the Gel
lar. They had hardly reached the side
of the stone walled place when from
the space beneath the stairway bound
ed a splendid specimen of California
liOneSS. Before a shot could be hred
the animal escaped through the open
door A second later and the lion, a
big ugly beast made jump for the
stairway. But this time Antonio was
ready and killed the animal at the first
fire.
While his friends stood guard at the
doorway Antonio made search I'M
derneath the stairway and found four
cubs. They were as comfortable as kit
tens having an old coat and a quilt for
a bed Nunez took the biting and
scratching cubs up stairs and for the
rest of the day and far into the night
waited for the Honess to return, but the
brute did not come back. Nunez is go
ing to try and raise the cubs. The dead
lion measured six feet from tip to tip.

CIVIL SERVICE IN OHIO.
A Proposition to Incorporate the idea
in the Republican State Platform.

Cleveland, May Sit is very likely
that if present plans are carried out,
the state convention of the Republican
party will have another problem to
solve besides that of indorsing Sena-
tor Hanna. 1t will be question of pro-
viding for civil service reform in all
state departments, and the placing of
all employees below the heads of depart
ments, with few exceptions, such as
private secretaries and assistants, I'M
der an intelligent merit system.
1t has been said that a great many of
the disaDpointed federal office seekers,
who were turned down because of the
nationaI civil service law are intend
ing 70 take up the fight which was
introduced into the annual convention
of fine ohio Republican league, and
