this invention with the microscope at

SMALL POX MOB
NexiCanS at Laredo Resist Removal
 of Patients to inc PsSf House.

Laredo, Texas, March 9.-The work of removing the smallpox patients to
 the pest house under the direction of
 State Health Officer Blunt was begun this morning. After ten had been re-
 rooved the officers encountered on East Matamoras street a mob of Mex jeans who menaced them in such manner that the chief of police was teiephoned for. Marshal Joe Barthe
 low and Assftant Marshal Nye Adar hurried to the scene and when they attempted to arrest the leaders of the disturbance they were assaulted with stones and fired on. Nye Adar was knocked down and severely beaten about the head before he could be res cued. One of the rioters was shot, but aided by his friends, managed to es- cape. About twenty shots were fired, dozen arrests made and the mob dis persed.
 The health officers then resumed tLeir work, but were soon met by an ether mob of 500 CT 600 Mexicaps, many of them armed. As they could not contend with this force the health officers desisted, and Dr. Biunt opened telegraphio communication With Gov ernor Savers. As z result he was in to call on the United States military authorities at Fort McIn- tosh in the name of the governor for such assistance as was necessary, and later he was informed that the war department had telegrapned authority to use the troops. The Mexicans are much excited and expressed contempt for negro United States soldiers.

Four Men Arrested on d Charge of
 Attempting 10 Extort $25O,OOO.

Chicago, March 19-Jacob Erb, an attorney; Frank Reppette, chief house detective of the Auditorium hotel; F. T. F1eeney, a ticket collector employed by the Alley Elevated railroad, and Frank 'Schoenfe1d, a young attorney employed in Erb's cffice, have been ar rested on a charge of conspiracy to levy blackmaiI. The arrests are Te- suit of the suit for separate maintc- nance brought last fall by the wife of F. H. Cooper of the Siegel-Cooper com pany. Judge Ball granted a decree and $G,OO0 a year to Mrs. Cooper Later Mir Cooper was notified that a suit for absolute divorce would be brought and he Die epared to meet his wife's alIega- ticns with counter charges. Mori1z Rosenthal, who is MT. CoCpers attor- ney, said this morning:
 We intend to prosecute these men 10 the end. Because MT Cooper is a prominent man and has money these reorle plotted to eXtort quarter of a million dollars from him on thelr promise to suppress testimony anu to lLsh up infamous cha: ges which they pl letended to have proof Of. They de manded $25O, ,O00 and an absolute di- vcrce for Mrs. Cooper MT Cooper re fused to deal with them and they then threatened to have him arrested o1s charge of having committed a felony"
 When MT. Cooper refused to give up the money demanded, it is alleged that the men reduced their terms to $50,000, which was met with a like refusal. The accused men were held in prelim mary bonds of $2,00O each and bail was furnished. Erb, who is alleged to be the chief conspirator, was formerly a judge of the district court of Little Rock, AK.

DOCTORS INDICTED
Arrest of Health Officers 0f
 New OrIednS.
President. Of inc Siaie Board and President of inc City Board Charged With Murder in ConneC- lion With Yellow fever.

New Orleans, March 19.-A decided sensation was created in New Orleans today when it became known that Dr. Edmund Souchon, president of the state board of health, and Dr. Quit man Kohnke, president of the city board of sanitation, had been arrested on charges of manslaughter. The cha1 ges came in the nature of q true bill found by the grand jury of the parish Of East Feliciana, in session at Clinton, La The two physicians were taken into custody, and left at 4 o'clock for Clinton, to answer the charges brought against them.
 The action against the health off ciaIs is the outgrowth of the yellow fever visitation of last year, and the claim is that in failing to report cases of fever known by them to exist, the officials were guilty of manslaughter. The immediate cause of arrest, how ever, has developed from charges made by Dr. McKowen, a New Orleans phy- sician.
 Some two months ago Dr. McKowen. in a long article in the Baton Rouge Advocate, denounced in unbridled terms the conduct cf the city and state health officers in connection with the yellow fever outbreak last summer. The charges were taken up by other country papers, and at length grew so annoying that a fortnight ago Dr. Quitman Kohnke, ex-city councilman and president of the city health board, brought action for slander against Dr. McKowen, the trial of which case has not yet come up. The indictment brought today against Dr. Kohnke and his colleague of the state board is considered as an answer to the slander suit, and it is claimed that the fore man of the grand jury bringing in the true bill is a relative of Dr. McKowen, although it is impossible at this time to verify the report.
 In the opinion of prominent New Or leans lawyers the court overstepped its power in indicting the state officials and they cannot possibly be given more than the annoyance of a day in court. Dr. McKowen, the man who started the trouble, is one of the most original characters in Louisiana He was in the confederate army, and at the close of the war expatriated aim self, taking up his abode in the Isle of Capri, where he remained for many years, indulging his hobby Of collect ing antique arms, Of which he acquired inc finest private collection in the V orld

WILL KEEP A STORE

New York, March 19.-Calvary Epis- copal church in East Twenty-irst street is about to establish store for tho sale of ginghams, checks, fannels and other dry goods in common use. The purpose is to keep in stock and sell such goods as are in constant demand at reasonable prices. It has been the custom of Calvary parish in it's work among the poor to permit parishioners to purchase, at cost price, certain ar ticles from it's stock of cloth provided for the charity work of the various or ganizations. The demand increased to such an extent that the plan of keep irg a larger supply on hand was sug- gested, and this led to the scheme of establishing permanent store. Sales will be made on the installment plan and no worthy person will be refused credit. A reasonable price will be charged, in crdec that the work may be self supporting, but prices will be far below those asked in ordinary stores which do business on the in stallment plan.
 Tn the opinion of the Rev. Dr. Parks, the rector of the parish, the store will be a successful experiment. Such a shop was opened in his former parish- S~ Peters, Philadelphia-severa years ago. Dr. Parks says that the original capital which was furnished from the rector's funds, was returned and that the shop yielded every year small in terest upon the investment. The busi- ness will be conducted under the su- pervisiOn of Miss Anthony, an experi enced worker in Calvary parish.
 Little doubt is expressed that the in stallment store, like the wood yard, lodging house, restaurant and tea di- van. all depar tments of Calvary East Side work, will be a financial success. These" says the prospectus Of the enterprise, ''are meant 10 be charities, and are charities, and are also sourees U revenue We incline to insist upon the reality of this combination be- cause we continually meet those whC deny the charity because of the gain | Such should consider that without the l gain the east side work would cease i to be righteous and charitable.

POPE AND AN1fRlCANlSM
PreSbYferIan Minister Says Ameri-
 cans Won Negative Victory.

New Brunswick N. J., March 19.-
 The Rev Archibald A Murphy pastor
 of tho Second Presbyterian church Of
 this city, preached on "Americanism
 According tC Leo XIII" this even~ ing. He began by telling of the Paulist Fathers.
 There is no question:" said the preacher, that they have done a great work in holding an immense audience of young women twice each day for a week; an audience of married women the same way the next week; an audi ence Of married men the third week, and an audience of unmarried men the fourth week. The dcc srines of sin and salvation were preached in a most un- compromising manner, and heaven and nell were set before the people without mincing matters.
 The order was founded by Father Hecker, who died in 1888. An account of his fife was written and a garbled translation was made abroad IL is this translation that has awakened the controversy on the other side of the Atlantic Some of the attacks on tho Paulists have been of a most scur- rilous nature. I hold, after careful consideration of the subject, that the letter of the pope to Cardinal Gih- hons is a negative victory for the American party in the Roman Catholic Chu1 ch. It is very mild letter. So far as I can see, as an outsider unfa- miiiar with such a complicated orgaui- zation as the Roman Catholic church, the Paulist Fathers are allowed by tue pope to go on with their work. Their enemies will not be allowed t0 Yers ecute them. If the experiment. is a success it will be followed up Amer icanism is up to the times. Protestants ought to rejoice in it and encourage it as much as they can.
 Now, I am not pleading for the Roman Catholic church. I knew that church is quite able to take care Of herself. And it is not courtesy for ne to interfere for this is really a family natter. Still, the new movement makes me hope that in the great future ] there will be a coming together of all | of Gods children from all parts of the | world We are near enough at the | are fraternizing all the time.

BRIGHAM ON FARMS
He Says Farm Investments Paid Better 70 Years Ago Than Today.

Washington, March 19.-The indus
 trial commission which has been giv- ing hearings on farm conditions, had Assistant Secretary Brigham of the az ricultural department before it yester- day. MT Brigham said that he had
 been connected with the grange move
 ment nearly twenty years, and as
 master of the national grange for nine years had travelled over the coun- try considerably. The number of men employed on farms was about the same, he said, as fifty years ago. The tendency, however, was toward shorter hours and lighter work, and in general the condition and wages of the farin hands had improved. This was large ly due to the use of machinery and improved methods, and not organiza
 tion of labor. The system of crop sharing, he said, was increasing and would, he thought, largely supriart that of hiring men for wages.
 MT. Brigham favored the teaching Of the elementary principles of agricul- tu1e in the public schools, as arousing the interest of the boys in that branch would tend to keep them on the farm and away from the cities The money invested in farms, farm implements and stock in the United States repre- scented, he said, about S1,500,0Q0, coo. farm investments paid higher rates of interest forty years ago than today. Some reasons for the decrease were the appreciation of land values and higher wages for labor The net profits of farming, taking an average for the whole country, he thought would not exceed more than or per cent. Farmers, he said, paid too great pro- portion of the taxes, one reason being that their property could not be con cealed from the assessors as can some other classes of property.

General Wheaton Cleared Out inc Land in Front of His Brigade for aDiSfanCe of Eleven Miles YeSfer. daY-FiIipinO Soldiers Influenced by Americans Kind Treatment of Prisoners and Wounded.

Manila, March 19.-Some of the rebels recently expelled from Cavfte and the small towns in the vicinity of Pasig combined forces last night and attacked a company of Washington volunteers at a detached point at Taguig, about mile and half south east of Pasig. General Wheaton i'm mediately reinforced the Americans with two companies each of the Wash ingtcn and Oregon regiments The post had held the enemy in check and the fire of the reinforcing companies repulsed them, driving them across to an island formed by an estuary. They were thus in front of the TWenty-sec- ond regulars.
 On the discovery that they were entrapped. the rebels fought desperate ly, aided materially by the jungle and darkness, but they were completely routed with heavy loss, after two hours fighting. The Americans lost two killed and twenty wounded. among the latter Lieutenant Frank Jones.
 General Wheaton determined to pun ish the natives and at daybreak today his brigade started in the following order: Sixth artillery holding the extreme right, the Oregon volunteers holding the center, the Washington regiment keeping to the edge of the lake, and the Twenty-second regulars occupying the right of the line. which swept the whole country along the lake, in southeasterIy direction, to- ward General OFSshine's position.
 The line thus extending over two miles of country, rough and covered with thick jungle, advanced eleven miles. The enemy fled, the last of them being seen about half past three this afternoon. At scarcely any time did the Americans get within 1.2OO yards of them.
 The troops are returning to Pasig tonight, exhausted by their hard worI, under the hot sun. The Oregon regi- ment had one man killed and four wounded, and the Twenty-seccnd reg ulars one wounded According to off, cial report no fewer than 200 Fili- 1inos were killed.
 General Otis says the American army and gunboats now command the ake. He estimates that property of he insurgents valued at $5OO,OO0 has been destroyed, while quantities Of ice and sugar and 400 tons of coal, which is valuable here. have been cap- ured.
