vance of hygiene alone mas created
rot only new personal responsib ILL
~, but new forms of philanthropy. So
cial justice is asserted not only as an
outcome of good feeling, but as an
imperious demand of strictly seien-
uhc analysis of conditions. Men look
at both evils and desired improvements
IN connection with their historic
causes, and endeayor to deal with the
realities instead of with superficial
symptoms. While we may say that in
some directions the advance of science
has weakened moral faith and dis
turbed moral effort, upon the whole
the credit side infinitely counterbal-
anceS these evils. Action that rested
on vague sentiment or on artificial
opinion or arbitrary authority, has
been made intelligent and reasonable;
the sense of mutual possibilities has
been widened beyond measure, while
the means and instruments with
which to realize our good intentions
have been multiplied and made secure.

ON A GRAVE CHARGE.
Marvin G. Spcrry accused of Passing
Worthless Checks.

A man giving his name as Marvin CT.
Sperry was placed under arrest on Pennsyl-
vania avenue this morning by Detectives
Royd and Helan, and taken to Inspector
Boardman's office. Two charges of false
pretenses We're preferred against him, and
in each case, it is alleged. worthless
check was passed. One check calling for
payment of so, was accepted at the cloth
ing store of Parker, Bridget & Co. and the
second was passed at H. II. Hemplcr's store.
The amount of the latter check was $50.
Both transactions, 1t IS said, took place
last November.
Similar charges are pending against Mrs.
NJ. II. Worreil, who is alleged to have
worked with Sperry. She was arrested in
Philadelphia yesterday on charge of shop
arrested today Sperry had a pawn ticket on
him for a pair of trousers. The police be-
lieVc that these trousers were sent here to

influential friends in Pennsylvania and is

of any Wrongdoing, and says when he is
acquitted he will enter suit against some
BODY for false arrest. He IS held for a

Only bargain advertising brings in busi-

PROPOSED MISSION BOAT.
One Now building for Use on the
Atlantic Coast.

Mr.. G. E Benn, originator of the plan 70
build mission boat to ply among the
AnglO-SaXOn sailors of the Atlantic coast,
teaching the Word of God and giving the
men an opportunity in religious way they
could not otherwise have is in Washing
ton in the interest of the project The ship
in question is now being constructed at
Jeffersonville, Ind 1t is to be a brigantine
yacht, 100 feet long with 30 feet beam and
a draught of u feet. 1t will be an excel
lent sea boat and constructed with view
of weathering any storm to be encountered
along the eastern coast.
When completed the yacht will have cost
$14 900. OF this amount 5000 is already
in hand. Mr.. Benn is now travelling for
the purpose of securing the funds neces-
sary for the completion of the building and
the equipment of the mission ship. The
plan has been indorsed by the clergy by
mariners and by many naval officials. Mr..
Benns visit to this city is to arouse inter-
est in the work cut out for the ship and to
secure further Endorsement by prominent
men in the navy
The idea of building a gospel or mission
ship first hit upon in Bay City, Mich.
Steps were taken at once to carry out the
inspiration, and Mr. Benn was placed in
charge. 1t is said there is vast need of
a dissemination of the Gospel among the
seafaring men and fishermen of the coast.
The mission ship will go from place to
place along the coast, meetings being held
on board. Everything conducive to COM
fort will be provided. The ship will be
known as the Alpha, and will be manned
by mission workers and members of the
clergy who have lived near or followed the
sea
The Alpha will be finished, 1t is expected,
by Christmas, and VIII at once make her
way to the sea for the Inauguration of the
work contemplated. During the busy
Cuban season she will make occasional
trips to Havana harbor and the larger sea-
port towns of the island. The interior fin
ish of the saloon will be that Of a chapel
The deck will also be used for the holding
of services. 1t will seat ! 900 persons Mr.,
Benn will remain in Washington for about
two weeks. =

This affection, when caused by a wound
has long been considered incurable and it
is only of late years that a few instances
of successful treatment have been recorded.
the most striking being those effected by
the Indian woorali poison and by enormous
doses of alcohol Two cases are reported in
which all the alarming symptoms We're
owed by violent perspration. The tirst
was that of young man of twenty-five.
who had the misfortune of having his hand
caught in the gearing of q thrashing ma
chine; part of the skin was carried of but
in the course of a fortnight everything
seemed progressing toward d speedy cure,
when one morning the patient awoke with
a strange rigidity in his jaws, violent pain
all over the sterrum, intermittent difficulty
of breathing and convuisive starts in the
lower limbs. A doctor being called in i'm
nedately proceeded 10 throw the patient
into violent perspration. For this purpose
nc had hoops put under the bed clothes IN
order to prevent their contact with the
body, and then got four deep pots filled
with quicklime, which he slightly molstened
with wafer.
To prevent the skin from being scorched
each pot was wrapped in linen and then
placed on each side OF the patient, orders
being given to the family to moisten the
quicklime from time to Tune and to change
1t when exhausted. The heat engendered
was so intense that on the first day the bed
clothes caught fire, which, however were
speedily eXunguished AS for the persplra-
ton, 1t was immoderate as to pass all
belief. On the fifth day all tetanic symp-
toms had disappeared. except a little stiff
ness In the jaws; the patient was in state
of complete prostration, which was, how
ever, removed by good nourshment and
feW days after all traces of the dangerous
arecuon had disappeared. The second case
was that of a day laborer, who, when the
doctor came, appeared in a dying state. He
al first denied having had any wound; but
upon examination an injury caused by a
hopnaN was discovered on one of his great
toes, circumstance the patient had forgot
ten The treatment was the same, and at
erded with the same result
