PHILIPPI, W. Va, Oct, 2s.-on We'd
nesday last, at Blklns, Senator Elkins
and Representative Dayton, OF this
congressional district, held consulta-
ton for the purpose of determining
upon and settling the unsettled presi-
Dental postmasterships in the district;
The cases that remained undecided
were gone over carefully and conclu-
slons were reached as follows:
For the office at Charles-Town, JEFF
ferson county, L. d. Getzendanner VIII
be recommended; for Piedmont, j. F.
Harrison; for Martinsburg, Alex. Clo-
han. whose selection has heretofore
been announced; for Fairmont, A. How
ard Fleming; for MorBantown, Dr. J'
p, Fitch; for Davis, s. w. Thompson.
The following presidential postmas-
ters in the Second district nave already
been announced and the appointments
made:
Shepherdstown, W. A. Chapllne; Har-
per's Ferry, j. r. Grove; Grafton
James w. Holt; Elkins, j. A. Posten;
Mannlngton, ]. D. Huey. There are two
remaining presidential Offices in the dis
trict (Keyser and Romney), which VIII
be decided later on.
In regard to the Fairmont office, the
selection was more difficult to arrive al
than in any Of the others owing to the
even strength OF the good men who were
applicants. Senator Elkins and MT
Dayton carefully considered the claims
Of all. Editor Powell. because OF MS
long and well known party service, w.
Il. Arnett, chairman Of the Republican
county committee. whose sterling char
acter and hard work for the party in
Marion county are SO well known, and
Major Howard Fleming, all seemed to
be about as equally well endorsed ana
as equally strong as any three men
could be, and about the only thing that
turned the scale in Fleming's favor was
an exceptionally strong letter from the
venerable Governor Pierpont in his
favor. It Is stated on good authority
that II seemed to the senator and Mr..
DAYTON impossible to turn down the last
reouegt of n political character that the
aged father OF West Virginia will prob
ably ever make. 1t also appears that
Mr.. Fleming presented a paper signed
by forty Flemlngs, all Republican
voters in and about Fafrmont, where
the Fleming family is large and iniiu-
entail.
At the EllSlns conference 1t was de-
cided that when the Berkeley Springs
office becomes a presidential oihce al an
early day w. II. somers will be recon-
mended for appointment.

TO CURE CONSUMPTION.
Formula ofDr. HIrshfoldsr's Preparation
No Secret About II.


SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 2e.-omciaI
notice has been received by the Bel
Gian consul, Leon Guaslain. that
the minister of foreign at-
fairs had transmitted documents
concerning DR.. Joseph o. Hirsch-
felder's consumptive cure to the Royal
academy OF medicine OF Belgium and
that the academy had commissioned
DR.. Van Lair, one OF Its tltular MEM
bers, to make ON examination.
The formula for making oxytubercu-
line, which It is claimed makes con-
sumption eurable. Is briefly stated as
follows: Veal Is soaked In water and Its
juice is then boiled and filtered. Glycer-
Inc, peptone and salt are put in the IL
quld which Is made slightly alkaline
with carbonate of soda.
In this liquid the germs Of tubercu-
iosls are grown. When they are fully
developed the liquid with the germs Is
boiled and filtered. The resultant IL
quld is tubercullne.
This tuberoullne Is the basis of DR..
Hlrschfelder's preparation. Peroxyde OF
hydrogen Is added 20 It and the mixture
is heated for one hundred and thirty
eight hours, az the end OF which time Il
Is oxytubercullnc This Is clarified by
a caustlc soda solution and portion
OF boraxao acid Is put in to keep II from
decomposing.

CHICAGO. Oct. 20. - Chief of Police
Ripley to-day issued an order DIS
charging from the force 434 policemen.
and appointed in their place a like NUM-
ber of members of the Star League"
Democratic policemen. who had been
discharged under the previous Repubh-
can administration. Il Is the biggest So
called general order issued since ex-
Chief Badenoch (Republican) issued his
famous order No. 10, In May, 1895, dis
charging 5s7 men.
Chief Kipley's order drops from the
police rolls and retires on pensions three
desk sergeants, one detective sergeant
and twenty patrolmen. Eight desk ser
geants and 1893 patrolmen were dis
charged outright.
Chief Ripley says the changes are
made in order TO put the entire depart
ment under civil service rules. The men
discharged, he says, owed their appotnt-
ments to political influence. All the
newly appointed officers passed the civil
service examinations. One notable fea-
ture of the order Is that the four detec-
tives who did the most conspicuous work
ON the Luetgert case are discharged.
They are Detective Sergeant Walter
Dean, who, It IS alleged, found the gold
rings in the famous middle vat OF the
sausage factory. and Detectives George
Lang, John Cederburg and G. L. Gribe-
now AN OF these men worked on the
case under the personal supervision Of
Inspector Schaack Republican,. One OF
the patrolmen removed Is Nicholas
Michaels, a brother-in-law of Inspector
Setback.
The order has caused much excitement
in polltlcal circles.
