sion in this city, was a remarkable address
at the forenoon session to-day by Dr. ]. 3.
Murphy, of Chicago, who, although still a
young man, is recognized as one of the
greatest living surgeons. DIR. Murphy's pa
per was entirely on the subject of the lungs,
but with special reference to the discovery
by him of a cure for consumption, or tuber-
culosis of the lungs. The discovery was
made public to-day for the first time and its
announcement aroused great enthusiasm
among the assembled physicians. DR.. Muir
phys new treatment is based upon the fact
that the sore spots in the lungs have nat
ural tendency to heal the healing process
being retarded or prevented by the constant
expansion of the tissues in brea thing. The
treatment consists in the introduction of
pure nitrogen into the lung cavity through
hypodermic needle The action of the nj
trogen congresses the lungs and gives them
entire rest. After a few weeks the nitrogen
is withdrawn and air admitted the lung
expanding to its usual dimensions

Kindergarten commencement.

The commencement exercises of the In

Training School were held yesterday after
noon at Plymouth Church. The board of
managers Of the free kindergartens occu-
pied seats near the front, and the audto-
rum was we'll filled with friends of the
school. Mrs. Pearl Wilkinson directed the
music, which included songs by the school
chorus. Rev. T. j. Villers made the invo--
cation. and Rev. Burris A. Jenkins delivered
the annual address. Mr.. Burris likened the
kindergarten work to religious teaching.
Many people call kindergarten work play.
All play tends to development, and all work
tends to the same thing. The care of little
ones, he said is religious work. To teach
kindergarten without the Master is like
teaching religion without Christ. One dam
ger which he said he thought threatened
the public schools was the holding back of
the Christian development. Both in the
public schools, the colleges and the kinder
gartens religious teaching is the one thing
needful. He congratulated the class on
having a future so full of opportunities. for
good. After the singing of Our Flag by
the, school, Rev. n; A; Hyde conferred the
diplomas and certificates and the benedic-
