ducine an anti-toXin from his poison.
 The microbes wanted were taken from the blood of dog that hal been infected with the disease on it's way home from Africa. Cultures were then made in the usual manner. Various animals were inoculated with the para sites, and attempts were made to pro- duce serum, such as is obtained Tor snake bite, diptheria and tetanus, that would protect animals that had not been attacked and cure those which had. But the system which works so admirably with few of the best known bacterial maladies does not seem to be efficacious with that which results from the bite of the tsetse fly. Several variations of the standard methods were tried without success. Bile from diseased animals was inject ed, for instance. So were preparations containing the parasites of kindred maladies. Dieting was also resorted to. but yielded no palliative effects.
 The inquiry of the committee was carried on in such a comprehensive manner as to include a comparison with the tsetse infection of somewhat similar phenomena noticed am-ng rats in India and elsewhere. Koch is said to have attributed plague prevalent among Indian rats to the tsetse para site. The Royal society committee does not consider the point established; but the identity of the African malady with one observed in Algeria is more probable.
 One part of the investigation cou- ducted by the committee related to the kinds of animals that are subject to the pest under discussion. To obtain il formation on this point, cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, rats, guinea pigs and even hedgehogs were inoculated. They proved susceptible to the disease. At first it was suspected that the guinea pig was immune; but while it responds more slowly than some other animals u the poison, it succumbs eventually. No recovery occurred after the para sites had once got into the creature s blood. Not only does the horse die in consequence of a tsetse fly bite, but a hybrid of the zebra and ass does too. No hope of finding a substitute for the nobler animal that would be proof against the disease was afforded by this test. Here, however, are two or three comforting laetA. although they have little practical bearing on the problem presented. It seems proved that the disease cannot be communicated by eating the flesh of an animal which has died from it, unless some lesion exists in the mouth or food passages; in other words, the poison ust be injected into the blood. The virus rather quickly ceases to be infective Blood drawn from living diseased animal loses this in three or four days at most but ma terial taken from a dead animal seems to be powerless after about twenty four hours.
 The failure of the committee to find any cure for the tsetse will be a source of great disappointment to all who are interested in south central Africa and its industries.

AN INTERESTING RECITAL.
The Opening of the Church of the Re.
 deemer Organ.

The Opening of the Church of the Re-
 deemer Organ.
 The new Woodberry organ at the Church of the Redeemer was formally "opened" last evening by recital given by Ernest Douglass. Mrs. Thompson and Riley Phillips sang and the whole affair was planned and directed by many years the organist and musical director of the church. MT. Shepard has been in poor health lately and did not feel that he ought to undergo the strain of a concert recital, and MT. Douglass was invited to perform the office that would ordinarily have fallen to MT. Shepard. The audience was very large and much enthusiasm was shown, although it was not manifested in the form of applause. This observation of church propriety also prevented encores and the programme was listened to in the most decorous manner.
 The organ, which was built under MT. Shepards supervision by Jesse Wood bury & Co. of Boston, is one of the best in the city, and although it is not quite as expensive as one or two others, it is so well placed acoustically that it is as effective an instrument as there is in town. The quality is excellent and the unusual number of eight-foot stops give a depth and balance of tone that is es- peciaIly good. The entire action is elec- tro-pneumatic. The current is supplied

AN UNTAMABLE MICROBE.

Royal Society Experts Wrestle With
 Him in Vain-Efforts to Make an
 Anti-Toxin to Cure an African Dis
 ease That Afflicts Animals When
 Bitten by the Tsetse Fly
 A pest that fatally affiicts animals. but not man, and has thus far been confined to central and southern Afri- ca, is the subject of a report to the Royal society, in England, by a com mittee appointed to investigate the matter. The disease in question is the result of bite by fly scarcely larger than the common house fly and though it's progress is somewhat slower than that of the poison from snake bite, the effect is equally deadly to OK, horse or dog. A sting like that of q mosquito leads to symptoms resembling those of a cold, and the animal grows steadily worse until 1t dies perhaps week or ten days after the tiny wound was inflicted.
 The importance of a malady of this sort was so apparent that the Royal society appointed commiette two years ago to study it's nature, and to ascertain, if possible, whether any cure could be found. A good deal of inter esting information is presented in the report; but as yet, in spite of some original and thorough experiments, no remedy has been found for the disease. The most that science can recommend at present is continuance of the pro- tective measures resorted to by the na- tives, which consist of plastering ani- mals over, before they are taken into an infected district, with manure and other filthy substances
 The tsetse fly sucks blood as does the mosquito, and communicates it's poison unintentionally, no doubt just as mosquitoes are supposed to convey malarial poison into the veins of their victims. The mischief making agent ill both instances appears to be living organism; microbe, characteristic in the one case of malarial fever and in the other of the strange and fatal t5etse disease. The existence of the latter parasite was discovered by Su1- geon Major Bruce several years ago. after careful study of the scourse. The fly is so abundant and pernlcious ly active in some regions that they cannot be inhabited by horses and cat tie. It is a curious fact. tholikh, that man appears to be entirely unaffected by it's bite.
 The great advances made within the last few years in bacteriology natural ly suggested to the Royal society in- vestigators a line of experiment from which, at the outset, 1t was reasonable to expect much The first step was to obtain specimens of the microbe; the next was to look into his habits and re- Iationships, and the third was to see what could be done in the way of pro-

Early Morning Fire.

Shortly after two O'Clock this morn
ing pistol shot aroused people in the
east end from sleep. This shot WAS
followed By others. and then the cry of
fire was raised. The cry was epeated
down the street, and pretty soen the
locomotives began to scream, and the
fire bell rang furiously. People who
saw the bright glare i'm agined that the
fire was dangerous one.
The Gre cOnsumed q barn in the rear
of GIG Msgoffin avenue, belonging to
Mr.. Kelley. It made q big blaze
while it lasted, but when the depart
ment arrive d it was soon extinguished.
The adjoining residence had already
b-gun to scorch, and in q few minu'es
more the f-e would have worked far
greater damage. The origin of the fire
is unknown.
To one who heard and saw all that
went on from the time the first blaze
was discovered. the primitive method
of turning in fire alarms in this town
appeared most ridiculous. not to say
dangerous.

District Court.

The case of E. W. Randolph, charR
ed with theft from the person, Was
tried this morning and the jury was
out few minutes when 1t returned .
verdict against the defendant and
gave him two years in the peniten-
tiary. Randolph was caught rialpR
the pockets of a drunken man in the
rear of the Klondyke sa oon. He
secured the sum of twenty cents for
which sum he will serve the two
years.
The jury in the case OF the state
against Santiago Av:llar, who WAS be-
ing trie in two cases for burglary, re-
turned q verdict against the defendant
and assessed the punishment at five
years in each case. There are still
four more cases to come up against
him. but it is thought that these vii
be dismissed.
1t will be remembered that Avillar
was the Mexican who was SO good At
making keys, having learned the trade
while serving former term in the
state prison. 1t was this same Avillsr
who came to Ell Paso as coon as be was
released from the penitentiary and rob-
bed the store of Tanner and Pennybak-
er, and the stab'e of u. T. W bite.
The case called nsxt was against
Hilario Esparza, the woman who was
receiving and concealing the sto'en
property which Santiago Avillar
would bring to her.
