 RURAL POSTAL DELIVERY.
Congressman loud Asks for His District q Service Highly Praised by the
 DeDdrfne1f

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Congress- man Loud was at the Postoffice De- partment to-day to see about the es- tablishment of free rural delivery in his district It will be remembered that the annual report of First Assist ant Postmaster General Heath said that of all places in the United States for free rural delivery Santa Clara County was ideal, and especially the town of Campbell. in Santa Clara County, as a distributing center.
 Loud is making earnest endeavors to secure free rural delivery for that section. It appears, however, that the Postoffice Committee of the House of Representatives, of which MT. Loud is chairman, has decided not to make as large an appropriation for free deliv- cry in the various cities and towns as was recommended by the Postoffice Department. It is the desire of Speaker Reed, Mr. Dingley, MT. Loud and other leaders of the House to be as economical as possible in govern ment expenditures until the Dingley tariff revenue met the expenditures For this reason, according to Post office officials, there must be a reduc- tion in the number of letter-carriers in the large cities, such as New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco. In New York, for instance, there have been six or seven deliveries of mail in the resident districts, and it is now pro- posed to have only four deliveries a day. This programme, if carried out, will necessitate a reduction of letter. carriers in all the big cities of the United States, including San Fran cisco. It is expected that the Letter Carriers Association and the Postal Union will make vigorous protest against such a reduction of the letter carriers force.
 Mir Loud hopes that it will not be necessary to reduce the force of let ter carriers at San Francisco, but at the same time insists that the towns that are by law entitled to free deliv- cry should be provided for. He does not believe that the big cities should mcnopolize the appropriation made by Congress for free delivery. He will insist that free delivery be established in the towns of his district and will especially urge that the town of Campbell be made a central distrib- uting point for free delivery in Santa Clara County.

WINRECKE'S COMET SEEN
 FROM LICK OBSERVATORY.
Professor Perrine Rediscoyers the Wdn- derer Of the Skies First Observed
 by Po1S in 1Sf9

SAN JOSE, Jan. 3.-The following message was received tonight from Lick Observatory:
 Winneckes periodic comet was re- discovered at the Lick Observatory by C. D. Perrine on January 2, 1898, at hours minutes 42 seconds. between Greenwich mean time. The comets posi- tion was right ascension 15 hours 19 minutes ? 61-100 seconds, past south declination 3 degrees 5S minutes 34 3-10 seconds. This position is two minutes of time east and about nine minutes of an arc south of it's predicted place. It is a very faint object even with the large telescope, and while it will in all prob ability grow considerably brighter, yet its position is such that it will not be close enough to the earth to be visible in small telescopes.
 This comet was first discovered in 1873 by Pons, but was not again seen until it was discovered as a new comet by Win necke, whose name it now bears. 1t has been observed on several subsequent re- turns, among the last in 1892. It will make its closest approach to the sun on March 20, 1898, at a distance of S2 900 miles

The Needlework Guild.

The officers and directors of the Salt
Lake branch of the NeedlewOrk Guild
are kindly reminded that the time is
approaching for the annual collection
of comfort for the benefit a those who
may be less fortunately situated than
ourselves The memory of the many
tired hearts, as well as the chilled
todieS that have been cheered and
warmed during the past six years
should stimulate us to renewed efforts.
There is also another incentive for 81
generous collection this year, in the
generally expressed wish that we may
hel9 some of our unfortunate friends
in Park City through the coming win
ter.
If each member of this branch can
bring one new member into the good
any one person, have 5000 garments
at our disposal, instead of the 1900 Of
last year.
While everyone has the privilege Of
contributing as generously as they may
wish. no one is asked to give more
than two new garments and q dime
once year. The results secured by
this small tax upon the individual con-
vince everyone who is sufficiently inter
ested to come to see them that the
plan is one of the simplest and most
effective in distributing lasting and
far-reaching comfort
The directors are urgently requested
to make great efforts in reminding
their old members and securing new
ones Immediately, so that donations
may be ready for collection by Oct. 20.

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-02-21

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
In your issue Of Feb notice headed
-Vivisection Bill" stating that the State
Board OF Health of Indiana protests against the
bill for the further prevention of cruelty to ami
mails in the District OF Columbia" Now this
bill is in no sense an 'anti-vivisection BILL.
Should it become law it would lsgaIizes not
prevent vivlsection. The bill permits. first, all
experiments performed while the animal is in
sensible to pain; second, all kinds Of surgical
operations for testing methods OF surgical
procedures; third, the testing Of new drugs or
medicines; and fourth, all kinds of innoculation
experiments archaeological investigations into
the causes of disease
TO seek for more liberty than il given in the
above bill is to desire unresrained license to be
cruel. If indeed the physical researchers be az
humane they claim. they should not make
such violent efforts to escape a legal inspection
Of their work. If there be nothing to hide let
them throw open their laboratories to the repre-
sentatives OF the United States government
Personally my one objection to this bill is that
it does not ask for the total prevention OF all
forms of yivisectton. Many of my brother physi-
clans In Europe and America agree with me in
stating that no benefits to the human race have
been the outcome of vivisectionsl experiments.
On the contrary, vivisection has been, and
will be. prejudicial to the healing srt--degrading
those who practice it; keeping them from the
study OF sanitation; and above all giving to the
world "remedies'' by which the inventors make
money ana incidentally destroy the lives of those
who are foolish enough to submit to their
'cures"
You speak of NJ. Haffkine's method of nnoc-
ulating against Asiatic cholera. He cultivates
the bacilli in houillon and ghee without the
OF any animals whatever. What may be the
merits Sof his innoculations 1 do not know, but
certainly ii people wish to have microbes injected
into themselves M. Haffkine's method is much
superior to that of NJ. Pasteur. M Haffkine
gives the microbes straight, while by the Pas
teurian method there is also the chance of COM
munlcattng disease from which the animal
suneriDs before artfcially diseased. From the
various Pasteur Institutes of Europe almost four
hundred OF those patients discharged as cured
have subsequently developed rabies and died from
that disease. AZ IN many of these the
animal whose bite had caused the treatmentl
was kept and pronounced in perfect health 1t IL

vented, by the NEGOTIATIONS
