What Advertising Does.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Throw a stone into a stream and the dis
turbance of the water will not cease until
the concentric circles which roll on from
the point of the stones immersion be stop
ped by the farthest shore. Advertising stirs
the tide of business as resistlessly as the
stone moves the surface of the water.
Even if it miss the particular object of it's
aim, like poorly directed missile thrown
into stream, the advertisers thought will
run out through the great current of pub
licity with results as certain as the motion
caused by a pebble tossed into a brook.

AguinaldO and the Assembly.
From the Havana Advertiser.

Aguinaldo in the Philippines, just as the

lowers in the wrong. The United States,
through no fault of her own, has become
responsible Tor good government in the is
lands wrested from Spain, and is equally
bound to suppress disturbers of public or
der. whether these pose as patriots or ban
dts. Foreign investments must be pro-
tected and life made as secure in the in
terror districts as it is in the seaports and
towns.

Judge Wetermans court tonight at the
c.ose Of the evidence IN the case of Eliza
beth Ann IDgersoh and John C. Collins
charged with kidnapping Gerald Lapiner,
was marked by pathetic scene II was
the action of the sister Of Mrs. Ingersoi

mercy on the aged woman and his refusal
to listen to her pleadings.
Mrs. H. /. Buchard of Amboy, ILL.,. had
taken the stand in her sisters defense 10

responsible for the deed. After court had
adjourned and the room was well cleared
or spectators, Mrs. Buchard forced her
way TO Mr.. Lapiner.

she cried bowling down before him In
suppiication. Don't send her to states
prison; no. don't. She is old and poor
Have pity, as you hope for mercy your
self"
Those present looked on in silence at the
agony OF the tone Ia which the plea was
made. Mr.. Lapiner brushed past her and
with his wife and child left the room,
while look of despair settled on the
aged face of the sunplicant.
John Collins, co-defendant with Mrs In
gersoll, was on the stand during the day
He said he knew nothing of the stealing
of the child. Mrs. Ingersoll told him she
had found the boy. and, after vainly seek
ing his parents, had brought him with
her. That was all he knew of the case.
The defense introduced testimony to show
that Mrs. Ingersoll is insane and not re-
sponsible for what she did when she kid

Washington and Is preparing a report for

Dr. Boyd thinks the results OF the con-

ton now interesting the profession Is the
preparation of an effective serum to COM
bat the disease The most promising work
IN this connection Is that of Dr. Behring,
one OF the most prominent Of the Euro
pean specialists. The results obtained by
DR. Behring have attracted the attention
Of the medical world. and are being pushed
as rapidly as is consistent with careful SCI
cntfc work.
The profession sees no reason why the
development of a tuberculosis serum
should not revolutionize the mortality rate

velopment OF anti-toxin In diphthera.
