WORK ON TUBERCULOSIS.
Report of Surgeon Boyd-Consamption
Cure as Certain as That for Smallpox.

Washington, July 2.-Surgeon J. G..
Boyd of the navy, one of the United
States delegates to the recent tubercu-
losis congress in Berlin, has returned
to Washington and is preparing re-
port for the department on the work OF
the congress. DR.. Boyd thinks the re-
suits of the congress will be important.
The chief question now interesting the
profession is the preparation of an eff
fective serum to combat the disease.
The most promising work in this con-
nection is that of DR.. Behring, one Of
the most prominent Of the European
specialists. The results obtained by
DR.. Behring have attracted the atten-
ton of the medical world, and are be-
ing pushed as rapidly as is consistent
with careful scientific WORK. The pro-
fession sees no reason why the deVel-
opment of tuberculosis serum should
not revolutionize the mortality rate in
consumption as much as has the devel-
opment of the antitOXin of diptheria.
The development of consumption sani-
tariums in Europe is another matter
that has attracted much interest among
the profession on this side of the At
Iantic. 1t is now assured that the dis
ease in it's earlier stages can be
checked. With the building UP of the
patients general condition he is less Ii
able to a recurrence of the disease after
leaving the institution, even if the lung
tissue already destroyed cannot be re-
placed. Even in advanced stages the

THRIVING ROSE IN CEMETERY.

The best white rose for cemetery
planting is Madame Planter. 1t is
a variety of somewhat slender growth,
and on this account is sometimes
termed half-climber. But it requires
no tre1lis, being much more graceful
when allowed to train itself than when
given support of any kind. It throws
up a great number of stalks, on which
great quantities of milk-white double
flowers are borne in clusters during
June and July.-Ladies' Home Jour

JULIA'S EXTRAVAGANZA.

The largest theatrical advertising
of the season was that of Julia Arthur
during her recent enga cement in Bos-
ton. Every available billboard had
immense pictures with simple an
nouncement, "Julia Arthur, Boston
Theater, next week" Most of the pa
pers got page advertisements while

page. Over half the space used in
the Globe appeared blank.-National

able appearance. Excellent music was
furnished by Professor Christensen ana
his band.
The play was Santiago" a new pro-
duction, founded on incidents and tacts
in the late war in Cuba and the IAN Oh
Santiago. The play was presented IN a
manner that reflected much credlt upon
the management of the Brigham CITY
Dramatic company, both as to the scene
ry, stage setting. costuming and acting.
The scenery was suitable and appropriate
to the locality in which the scenes are
laid. The leading characters were aply
sustained. The Spanish general was per-
sonated by Mr.. c. Christensen, and IN
makeup and acting he almost led the
audience TO imagine that he had been
taken prisoner and brought over specially
TO perform this part. Mr.. John Baird as
an Irish corporal caused much amuSe-
ment by his clever acting MI. FRANK

Phoebe Madison and Olive Gidney, as
nurses of the Red Cross society. acted

while Mrs. Kotter's acting in the role OF
a Bankers daughter eVinced talent of a
high order. Messrs. r. H. Jones and Vic
! tor Madison as officers in the American
army were frequently applauded.
The play was repeated last night t, to- ;,
out a hitch. This performance was given
for the benefit OF the poor of Brigham
City. The members of the dramatic, com
pany gave their services free, as did also
the musicians. The management Of the
opera house also gave the use of the
building without charge. The net pro-
eeeds OF the performance last night were
$50. which will be distributed to the
worthy poor.
President Lorenzo Snow and his son,

count Of his mission to Germany, and
also delivered an address in the German
language for the benefit of the Germans
who were persent.

Upper creek, The ice-yacht was simply
gathering Roadway for a long swoop
upon them.
And this seemed to be Franklyn's in
tentiOn. for the Ice Wrath soon came
about and aimed her nose directly at
the enemy. She bowled along, close
hauled. with a cloud of ice particles
dancing in her wake. Nearer and
nearer she drew to that narrower strip
of safe ice The chasTn at the mouth
of the creek was SKINNED over with
thin and treacherOus ice. Hi COnley
stood within easy rifle range of the
edge OF the safe ice. There was little
danger of his missing a shot this time.
And then q great shout went up from
the waiting men. The flying yacht
came about as though on a pivot She
scared up like a sea gull, balanced in
her Starboard runners, while the main
sail dipped gracefully. and then she
shot away directly for that narrow
strip of black ice with the wind ex-
actly astern,
FRANKLIN leaned over to port with
a steady hand on the tiller and a sud-
den light in his eyes. 1t was des-
perate chance, but in it's very daring
there was success.
Conley's rifle cracked vainly. The
! Ice Wrath seemed to outspeed bullets
for the moment. Like an arrow from
the DOW she SnOt down to the chaSm.
The black ice strained and cracked.
FRANKLIN could feel it bend beneath
their weight. And then. as the broken
ice cracked all about them. the yacht
leaped the chasm and sped out upon
the frozen river beyond!
Looking back the navigator saw their
pursuerS tumble hurriedIy into the
sleigh; but they We're fairly out-dis-
tanced. In a few minutes the Ice
Wrath rounded the last bend in the
stream and safely made the pulp mill
landing. Franklin had to almost carry
Rose to the railway station; but once
seated in the cars she recovered from
her fright. The train rolled out Of the
town before the sweating horses OF
their pursuerS reached the landing.
1t was several years before Franklin
ventured into the region again. Hi

state prison. Abe Bannock met Frank
