THEATRICALS.

The Paterson News says of "The
Wheel of Fortune" which will be seen at
the Avenue all next week: An electrical
storm of sensation, an avalanche of meri-
torious fun would be an appropriate head
line to precede 1.-THE Wheel of Fortune"
which is filling weeks engagement at
the Eden. Originality has been the one
aim in constructing this highly interest
ing play, which from the rise of the cur
tain to the end of the last act holds the
spectator spellbound. Novelties that re-
quired months and months of hard study
are introduced with a rapidity that is
amazing to behold. Every act requires
setting of special scenery, painted true
to nature, making it perfect dream of
wonderland. Bright songs, novel dances
and refined specialties are cleverly inter-
woven in each act and rendered by
company of well-known artists, assuring
the audience of night of solid amuse-
ment.
"Gloriana" is the title of the play to
be presensed by the Meffert Stock Com
pany next week. This play has never
before been presented outside of high
priced theqters, and the theater-going
public will doubtless appreciate the eff
forts of Col. Meffert to enable it to wit
ness first-class productions at popular
prices. "Gloriana" has been pronounced
by the critics of the country one of the
best comedies of the day--a continued
round of laughter in three acts. The
eompany will present an excellent pro-
duction, and the Russian and English
costumes secured n Phiiadelpk, are an,
assurance that the play WIN os we

SAVE THE NAVY.

The proposed increase of our
standing army to Ioo, 900 men is
meeting with opposition in the
House of Representatives as we'll as
from the business and working men
of the country. The vast sums of
money that will necessarily be ex-
pended in the maintenance of a
large army, if the bill becomes a
law, would be used to much greater
advantage if applied to the con-
struction of war vessels and coast
defenses. While the country dep
recates war, to follow the course
suggested would find us prepared
for it, and would in the meantime
furnish employment for a large
number of American workingmen,
who would be rendering the gov
eminent an equivalent for the mon
ey taken from the people. We
can raise large army at any time,
but not so with the navy. There
fore we agree with Mr.. Hay, of
Virginia, who concluded his re-
marks on the measure as follows:
"Our situation is such with ref
erence to other countries that
large standing army never has been,
is not now, nor ever will be ne
cessity. Our battles of the future,
if there are to be any, which God
forbid, must be fought upon the
high seas; we must look to our navy
to bring us victories. l would not
disparage for one moment the bril-
liant achievements of our soldiers

Stupid base running was again the cause
of the loss of game by the Senators yes
terday. The Reds were the victors, and
the affair occurred on the stamping
grounds OF Ewing's Braves. The dumb
work of the Senators on the base lines
has become a serious matter. and an in
vestigating commission with Manager Ir-
win as chairman, judge advocate general,
and prosecuting witness, is not unlikely.
1t is to be hoped that the offenders will be
made to suffer something more than
coat OF whitewash. Several contests OF
late have been lost by stupid coaching and
base running, and improvement in this re-
gard is absolutely essential to success on
the diamond.
Yesterday the Washington aggregation
outbatted and outfielded Ewing's men, but
five of the Senators were thrown out at
the plate and those who arrived in safety
were not numerous enough to outnumber
the Reds who completed the circuit. Phil
lips was knocked completely out of the
box, and Breitenstein was also hard press
ed brilliant fielding and throwing on the
part of the home team cutting off the Sem
ators who were bound for the home plate.
The victory yesterday enabled the Reds to
once more go ahead of the New Yorks.

Severe storms Play Havoc In the

Hudson Valley.
New York. June 29.-Terrific thunder
storms, in some places the most destruc-
tive ever known, prevailed in the Hudson
Valley yesterday. Following along the
lower section Of the valley and sweeping
to east and west, the storm did great dam

many places, breaking windows, stripping
trees. and almost running the fruit and
other crops. Little damage was done IN

Two excursion parties, numbering more
than fifty persons. left Haverstraw in the
afternoon for points on the river They
had not returned at night. and much ap-
prehension was felt for their safety. They
were seen near Stony Point lighthouse Just
before two storms met and broke.
The storm played havoc with New York
soldiers returning from the State camp IN

DR.. Oscar Loew, the expert vegetable
pathologist Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture. after a series Of experiments. covering
tenn of treatment for germ diseases. which
promises to take the place of the present
methods OF combating such maladies as
typhoid fever, diphtheria. cholera, anthrax,
and the black plague. The experiments
have been carried to such q point that DR..
Loew now believes that the treatment can
be tried in hospital practice.
The new treatment is a modification of
the present serum method, but is based
on somewhat different principle. The
idea which DR.. Loew has in mind is to cul-
tivate animalisms called engines which
are produced by the same bacteria that
cause the disease. 1t is the generation Of
the engine in large numbers which causes
any germ disease to exhaust itself In the
system. In cases where these animaiisms
are not produced, the results are neces-
sarily fatal. The principle is very simple
as it employs the engine Of germ which
produces a disease to kill its parent, re-
su1ting in a restoration to health.
DIR. Loew believes that he has discover
ed a means by which he can produce a
pure engine which, introduced into the
system, will kill any disease Of germ
character without injuring the person af-
fected. The proposed method differs from
the one in use at the present time mas
much as the present treatment aims to
give the patient a mild form Of particu-
lar disease. rendering him immune from
the more virulent type. According to the
new system, the disease is fought from
the time the engines are introduced into
the system while, in the old way, poison
is introduced which. before the patient can
recover. it is said. will act with more or
less harmful effects. Should some means
other than vaccination be discovered for
rendering a person immune from small
pox, 1t will be eagerly accepted by ma
jOrity OF the medical fraternity, it Is claim
ed, for there are those among professional
men who are much opposed to vaccina-
ton. The numerous cases Of blood-poi-
soning resulting in instances in death. has
placed the more progressive scientific men
in opposition to many of the present sys-
TEN Of inocculation.
DR.. Loew and his colleague. Dr. R. En-
merich, have, after careful cultivation of
the engines Of various diseases, come to
the conclusion that the engine of one dis
ease will kill not only their parent animal
ism but will also kill the bacteria of other
diseases. The engines are exceedingly
delicate and quickly lose their power. but
Loew expresses the belief that he has dis
covered a method by (which he can pre-
serve them for use.
The investigators have cultivated the
germs Of tuberculosis in the endeavor to
find the engine of that particular form Of
bacteria, but announce as result OF their
reseaches that the bacteria does not form
an engine and consequently cannot be
reached by the new treatment. Should the
discovery prove as valuable as is now an
ticipated, there can be no doubt as TO its
immense benefit TO mankind and it would
save thousands Of lives every year.
