DR.. oNEILL's DISCOVERY.

The highest death record ever made
by any epidemic disease in this cou!.-
try was that Of 1878, when yellllx fever
in its most viruient form ravaged the
entire southwest from Louisiana 70
Ohio, destroying nearly 5000 lives.
Consumption destroys more than 1922
eco American lives in each occurring
year. Thus consumption kills about
seven times as many psCple every
year as yellow fever ever killed in any
year This startling fact lends pecul-
lar interest to every scientific effort
either 20 prevent the spread of this
dread disease, which is now definiteiv
recognized as infectious a. to find
means for its cure. Especially inter
esting, because especially hopeful, are
th- experiments now making by the
Franklin institute of Phila5slDhia,
with 9 new treatment discovered by
of this city Briefly. the
agents used in this process are light,
electricity and ozone, applied directly
and powerfully to tbs patient for the
purpose of destroying the disease
germs and repairing waste In other
words. the doctors produce artifcially
ana in inteneer forms precisely those
conditions which in nature have been
found remed-ial-those that are sou
in the Adirondacks and other
sanatcElums for consupmtives.
Fer fear of quackery the
matter has been carefully kept
from public knowledge until it cou. d
be scientifically investigated. Results
thus far attained by investigation
seem clearly to justify the hope at
least that science is presently to be
armed anew against the most danger

Franco. she was accorded by the late
Empress Elizabeth the entree at the
court of Vienna, and likewise the or
der of the so-called Star Cross, one of
tbs strict requirements of which is an
ancestry free from plebeian strain for
eight generations on both the fathers
and the mothers side. The only othec
exceptions to this rule which were ever
made by the late empress were in be-
half of her niece. Countess George
Larisch, who was the daughter of her
maJesty's brother Prince Louis Of Ba-
varia. and of his actress wife, while the
ether case was that of the wife of the
minister of foreign affairs and of the
imperial household Count Golou-
chcWski the countess. beingby birth the
Princess Murat and the granddaughter
Of a Miss Frazer of Philadelphia. The
founder Of the house of Murat, as every
one knows. was the stable lad who
lived to become king of Naples, and
brother-in-laW of the first Napoleon.
Countess Larisch has since been de-
priVed both of the order of the Star
Cross and banished from the court of
Vienna in consequence of the ignClble
role which she played in the scandal
that eliminated in the death of Crown
Prince Rudolph of Austria at Meyer
ling.
On the whole the imperial house of
Austria has been very kind and friend

late count of Meran, for instance, was
overwhelmed with honors. He was
the issue of that romantic union be-
tween Archduke John of Austria and
Anna Plochel, daughter of the post
master of Brandhofen, in the Tyrol.

INDUSTRIAL WARFARE.

The invasion of Great Britain and
British possessions by American iron
and steel manufacturers and bridge
and locomotive builders is of hardly
less significance than would be the
landing Of troops under the guns of our
warships. The wars of modern days,
indeed, are without exception CONNER
cial wars. The conquest of territory
today means only the conquest of
trade And if the campaign can be
won by the arts of peace, so much the
better. both for victors and for the
vanquished.
We began to send steel rails abroad
last year, in competition with the prod
uct Of British rolling mills, to Austria
liza. to India, and more recently even to
Glasgow Locomotive works in this
country have taken the trade of Rus
STA out of British hands, and nctw the

ordering from American makers. The
very latest is the award by the Egyp-
tiaH government of the contract for the

concern over British competitors.
This last incident has aroused much
acrimonious comment on the other |
side. If the khedive is under the con-
troll of his British adviser, why did not |
the contract go to England? The an
swer is frankly given, that the Ameri-
cans not only bid lower but agreed to
build the bridge in less than half the
time that the Englishmen wanted.
This seems to be an unquestioned ,
victory. It marks notable success in
the Industrial warfare

A CONVENIENT ISSUE.

Whenever the democrats of the
south wish to recover from a political
blow, they raise the issue of danger
from the blacks. 1t is said that the
North Carolina race riot has settled the
future of the republican and populist
combination in that state, and that at
the next election the democrats will
elect all officials, with the certainty of
defeating Senator Butler for reelection
in 1901. The latter event may be some
distance ahead, but it is noteworthy
that the correspondents of outside
papers assert that there can be no
doubt of the senator's loss of influence
in the state even at the present time.
His machine has been completely
smashed. The latest instance of the
use of the race issue is in Baltimore
politics. The democrats there have
adopted the cry against negro domino
tion, and it is admitted by Mayor Nal
ster's friends that they have scored
heavily against the republicans. The
latter hope to win, however, since there
is a large independent vote in the city.
But the democrats count on securing
the support of this element through
the race question. If the Baltimore
republicans can offset this spirit, they
will finally put Maryland with northern
states, where it has been placed poiiti-
cally by some for the last four years.

The decision of the -vard-Prince-
ton debate does not necessarily settle
in the, negative the question whether
"a formal alliance between the United
States and Great Britain. for the pro-
lection and advancement of the.r com
mon interests, is advisable" but the
debate itself was an encouraging sign
of the times. 1t showed that the you-h
of the country are not a, engrossed
with athletic sports, but take N in
telligent interest in those public az
fairs which they will be called upon
in a few years more, to help admin

THE MADDBNING OYSTER COCK
TAILS.

prohibition paper has got itself
into libel suits by describing the ter
rifle goings-on 1T dinner in a town
ii This state. The scenes of drunken
ness and disorder were due to oyster
cocktails and lemon ice This is said
to be actually the case: That the be-
ing in charge of that paper supposed
an oyster cocktail to be something to
drink, instead OF oysters immersed in
ketchup, pepper. vinegar aud horse
radish, and that one could not take an
oyster cocktail without making
beast Of himself in a public place. The
lemon ice had been named on the
menu, as joke, board of trade
punch and again this singularly en-
doWed person had conceived that
nobody could partake of it without
failing under the table. Hence the
emissaries Of the paper described a
scene that never occurred, and the
offended participants have sued it.

1t is to the credit OF the school trus-
tees OF Petersburg, Ind, that they de-
cline to sanction an attempt to trans
plant certain race prejudices from the
soil of the south to that of Indiana
where such prejudices are without
good ground for existence The young
gentlemen composing the graduating

who have refused to sit upon the plat
form with Miss Bertha Carter. coll

in their decision. For it may be
