NOT DISCHARGED BECAUSE OF AGE.


President Truesdale of the Delaware, Lacka-
and Western Railroad Company was quoted
yesterday as saying In relation TO the rumOrs OF
disagreement between the road and its employees
Not IN the Lackawanna has been dis
charged on account of his age. Some OF the men
found unfit for service were old men. Perhaps in
cases 1t their age that made them unfit
for the strain OF railroad work, but man say
that he discharged because of his age. we
have age limit. Many after forty-fve are
at their best; many men at sixty-five are good
they were at thIrty-fve, and infinitely better
than lots of at twenty-five or thirty-fve, or
any other age men never any good. while
others get better and better they get older. As
far crpples concerned. 1t is policy to take
care OF them far 1 think it is the
policy Of railroads generally to look after the men
who become manned injured when in the per-
Torrance of their duty. An employe might work up
10 a pretty good place and In an accident become
crippled so that he was unfit TO hold il, but still
could hold a place Of less Importance. This would
be a misfortune to him, but we would try to make
the misfortune small possible. The report
that-six hundred Lackawanna employees mad been
discharged Is grossly exaggerated. Probably not
half that many have been discharged. Everything
is harmonious far as know, and we are having
no trouble over rate schedules"

CONSUMPTlVE CATS
Boston Doctor Institutes Suit
 Against Dealer in Pats.

Boston, March 1.-One of the most peculiar suits ever begun in this state has been instituted by Medical Exam iner Francis A. Harris of this city, against q dealer i2 birds and pets, whom he charges with having sold to his wife an Ang0ra kitten that was in 1lcted with consumption, thereby eX- posing his family to the danger of con- tagton. Dr. Harris says that his wife bought the. kitten some weeks ago. paying SC for it.
 When he first saw 1t he says it looked unwell, and in week died of some mysterious ailment. To satisfy himself as to the cause of death he per formed an autopsy and found that the cause of death was tuberculosis of the lungs of an acute type. He therefore decided to institute suit in the name of Lis wife for the return of the money Gaid for the animal, together with such damages as may be allowed for the trouble, etc, to which he has been subjected
 In reality, however, the affair is be- ing brought with 6 view of attracting the attention Of the public to the grave danger to which. Ec says, many people heedIessly expose themselves. Pets like Angora cats, he says, very often spread disease, and he has TO doubt that @ child or person not in good health who might have played with his wife's late pet would have con- tracted the disease.
 He considers the selling of an animal under the circumstances to be a very sees an explanation of mysterious cases of disease, where the friends of the stricken ones find themselves unable to tell where it was contracted

Instructions 10 That Effect Cab'ed fo Ofis and Dewey-MOnfereY in Dry Docks and Baltimore fO Fol- low Her There.

Washington, March 1.-To carry out the Presidents promise relative to the protection of German residents and property in tho Philippines, a cable dispatch has been sent to Admiral Dewey and one to General Otis in structing them on that point. The pub lished statement in certain newspapers that the German proposition included tho extension of the protection of the United States over German interests in the Samoan group, it is said at thestate department, is erroneous. The German ambassadors proposition touched only the Philippines. The treaty of Berlin imposes upon the three treaty powers which undertook the government of Samoa the duty of maintaining one or more warshiQs there at intervals and the protocols to the treaty show that TO matter what may be the nationality Of the vessel that happens to be on station, in the event of trouble, she was to protect the interests of all three treaty powers without discrimi- nation

ESCAPED MURDERERS
The SIayerS Of ". F. Allen Depart
 From SoIomonVille.

A telegram was received at this of fee from SolomonviIle last night say ing that Wright and Holiday, accused Of the murder Of M. F. Allen last spring, had broken jail. There was nothing surprising in the announce ment of an escape from the Solomon vile jail. The murder of Allen oc- cured in the eastern part of Graham county at Holidays house nearly a year ago. Allen had been stopping at his house for some time. His death was reported by Holiday, who said that just before nightfall three armed bandits rode up to the house where he, Wright and Allen were. The trio was covered with revolvers and demand was made upon Allen for money he was known to have. He refIsed to give it up and was shot, One of his murderers entered the house, broke open his trunk and got the money, while the other two stood guard over Wright and Holiday.
 The ridiculous story was supported by Wright, but was exploded by Hol- liday's little boy under close question ing at the inquest and the preliminary examination. Wright and Holiday were arrested.
 The murdered man was well known ill Phoenix. He lived here for a long time and used to make his headluar- tsrs at Getz's livery stable. He had a fatal weakness of unnecessarily dis playing his money. He did not have very much, but everybody who talked With him ten minutes not ony knew how much he had, but was given an opportunity of seeing it. So when he went to live with Holiday lie began courting exteTmination and his death, though violent, was, after all quite natural

BLAMES THE PRESS
K0RSoS CifY hany Priest
 Goes Affer inc Papers.
Says They are Responsible for Evil. Newspapers and Yellow Books Should Be Held for if All. So Inc FieSf Thinks.

Kansas City March 1.-Father Anthony Kuhls, pastor of St. Mary ys Catholic church, Kansas City, Kan, preached a sermon Sunday, in which he blamed the newspapers and yellow backed novels for almost all the evils existing on this earth today According to Father Kuhls the newspapers caused the war with Spain. He said that the best men of the country, including President Me hinley, were against the war with the Spaniards but that it was agitated by yellow newspapers until the people de- manded it.
 Father Kuhls said that the testi- mony given in the divorce courts is printed in the newspapers, which dote on such news. He said that such tes- timOny should Ee buried in the depths ol- the ocean instead of being given publicity in the daily newspapers.
 Father Kuhls said that the sensa- tiOnal stories in the daily papers, to- 8ether with the fiction to be found in the yellow backed novels, poisoned the minds of the young girls of the coun- try, and that such stuff was mainly responsible for their ruin in numerous cases.
 He compared the newspapers with the devil, who took Christ into the mountains and endeavored to tempt Him. He said the newspapers were even more impudent than Satan.
 Father KuhIs' main fault with the newspapers was in the fact that they criticize too much. He said the pa pers criticized eve-y enc from the president of tho United States down to a dog impounder. He said that ninety-nirc out of every 100 papers were doing the work Of Lucifer here on earth.
 The priest claimed that the papers were run by secret, o2th-bound or ganizaions. He said that the church is criticized. as well as the pope and his helpers, but that nothing dotri- mental to certain secret organizations ever gets intc. the newspapers.
 Much of Father KuhI's sermon was devoted to a discussion of bad books. He cited numerous instances where murders had been committed by young men whose minds had been filed with the contents Of sensational stories in yellow back literature
 Father Kuhls defended the '1azy monks" of the Philippines. He called them the lazy monks. He said this is what the newspapers had called them, besides slande~ing them other wise These same monks said Father Kuhls, gave their lives in an endeavor to enlightcn the savages of the Philippine islands. They did more to establish Christianity among the people of the islands than other people and many of them lost their lives in the end

READING DEwEY's MIND.
The New York Journal Trots Out the
 German Spectre Again.

New York, March LA Journal spe- ciaI from Washington says: Admiral Dewey's urgent request for the immedi- ate presence of the battleship Oregon at Manila for political reasons, is taken as an indication chat he is not entirely satisfied with the attitude of other foreign warships in that vicinity. It is not for an instant presumed that he would have any use for so for midable a vessel as the Oregon in Op- erations against the rebels, as her deep draft would prevent her near ap- preach to the shore and her big am- munition would be wasted for any ether target than an enemy's battle ship of any but her own type and class
 It is believed, therefore, that Admiral Dewey is suspicious of the Germans.
