YpHo1D AND ITS NEW CURE

From the New York Journal.
 Word comes from Philadelphia that a new cure for typhoid fever has been dis covered by one of the Quaker City's emi- nent physicians, pr. John Aude It con sists of arsenic and neuclein, both noted for their germicidsl properties, but not heretofore used in combination. The claim made for the new remedy Is that it dnvig- orates the brain and nerves, and restores the antiseptic quality of the blood.
 The alterative power of arsenic has long been recognized as it's chief characteristic. Nucledn is one of the many agents used in serum therapy, and Is a complex proteid body containing a large amount of phos- phorus It is abstracted from various sources, from yeast. from hens eggs, and from animal organs rich in cells. The new cure seems based on rational principles, and is the result of careful experiment and study.
 New Workers as well as Philadelphlans will naturally hail 1t with delight, and watch eagerly for the results of this dis covery. Ten moro cases of typhoid have recently been reported to the board Of health in Newark, making one hundred and five cases in all, the largest number that city has ever known. The source of the epidemic has been traced. It is the same as that which caused the outbreak in Paterson, the use of polluted wa ter from the Passaic rdver. There are seven hundred and fifty cases of typhoid fever now under treatment in Philadelphia in the city hospl- tals, and every institution there has been obliged to turn away patients The medi- cal fraternity Is aroused, and the Medical Journal suggests suits against the c.ty for damages from typhoid fever due to the failure of a pure water supply.
 4l,. at. .,1 science wherever preventable disease ex- ists, may be one solution of a most seri- ouS problem. In the meantime, infected milk and butter from localities where tho fever prevails may bring the germs into the most cleanly and well-ordered homes. In the articles mentioned, the typhoid bac- illus retains It's vitality for surprisingly long period, and is capable of doing great damage remote from the region of its ori- gin.

ALABAMA POLITICS

From the Washington Post.
 MT. R. Moore, of Mobile, Ala, who Is guest of the Shoreham, in speaking of matters in his section to a Post reporter. said:
 We will have a constitutional conven- ton in August that will very probably adopt some plan of restricting the fran chise similar to the method in vogue in Mississippi Louisiana and South Carolina When a large section of the ignorant vote is debarred from the polls in our state, as 1t has been done in the other states through constitutional amendments, it will be a matter of general rejoicing, for henee- forth there will be no question of the per- manent political ascendancy of the super for race.
 "There Is already some talk of guberna- torial candidates, although the state elec- ton doesn't come off until 1900. Among the most prominent of the men spoken of Is Gen. Charles M. Shelley, who has thous- ands of friends in every part of Alabama, and who would make an ideal governor. He is one of the most sagacious campaign CTS in the country, and whenever the party has been in difficulty it has called on him. His freinds declare that his splendid sery- ices in aid of the democracy entitle him to any gift in the power of his people to bestow.'

RICHARD OLNEY's PROSPECTS

From the Washington Times.
 The suggestion of Richard Olney, Of Massachusetts, as a presidential possibility is received with favor in certain quarters. MT Olney possesses many elements Of strength but the fact that he bolted the regular democratic ticket in 1896, would probably prevent his being seriously con sidered by the democratic national conven- ton next year. One thing can be set down for certain, and that is that Mr. Olney would never consent to accept the nomi- nation of an independent party. If J. Sterling Morton's new party, which he is trying to organize, tender the presidential nomination to Richard Olney, it is safe to say that the honor will be declined with thanks MT. Olney is a red-hot expansion isr. but his record as a corporation law yer would render his running on an anti trust platform somewhat ridiculous. It is not believed that MT. Olney is seriously perturbed over the mention of his name in connection with the presidency. His income from his private practice is said to be greater than that of the president of the United States. Es

Advancinu on Malolos.

Through jungles and swamps and across numerous streams or arms of the bay, the indomitable American soldiers have driven the Filipinos upon their capital, Malolos. They have driven them from en- trenchments often at the point of the bay risen in importance, and surgeons can no longer say that bayonet wound is un- known.
 When Malolos falls. as it doubtless will very soon, 1t Is believed that the F'ilipinos will not afterwards present an army, but that they will break up into guerilla squads, and endeavor to fight the Ameri- cans, as they did the Spanish. This is, however, problematical. They have had an excellent dose of American fighting. and they may conclude they haze had quite enough of 1t.
 The capture of the Filipino capital is not to be doubted. The vigor and dash of the American troops cannot be stayed even by entrenchments and the works about Nalo- IDS uo not propaply uiIier rom tno WorHS already encountered. General Otis diff ficult task Is wellngh accomplished-per- haps Is at this writing fully accomplished.
 The railroad extends from Malolos in a northwesterly direction. leaving the bay, and penetrating to the interior of the is- land. A retreat along the railroad would probably mean farther advance by Gen. eral otis., but retreat away from the railroad line might stay the progress of the Americans, for they may not possess the means of maintaining supplies far from c railroad or water base. Resistance on the part of the Filipinos Is of course fool ish. especially resistance before they have

TOOK HIS CUSTOM ELSEWHERE

From the London Spare Moments.
 The other day a chemist was awakened about 1 o'clock in the morning by someone clamoring at his shop door. Opening his bedroom window, he saw small boy, who was gesticulating wildly.
 "What's the matter?" inquired the chem ist.
 "I want a penn'orth O camphorated chlo- roform for t toothake," howled the lad.
 The chemist was not overjoyed when he found how small the order was for which he had been so rudely awakened from his slumber; but, taking pity on the sufferer, he dressed himself and went downstairs to supply the much-desired relief. While measuring the drug he could not help in- dulging in a growl at the lad.
 Its like your impotence" he observed "to wake me up at this time of the night for a paltry pennyworth of chloroform.'
 "Oh is it?" said the boy, resentfully. 'Then I'll take my custom somewhere else You can keep your chloroform. l won't have it now, for your cheek"
 And he didn't He went off quite indig- nantly, nursing his jaw, to wake up some other chemist.

THE SEXTON

By Park Benjamin. Nigh to grave that was newly made Leaned sexton old on his earth-worn
 spade. His task was done, and he paused to wait The funeral train through the open gate. A relic of bygone days was he, And his locks were as white as a foamy
 sea,
 And these words came forth from his lips
 so thin: 'I gather them in, gather them in. Many are with me, and yet still I'm alone, I'm king of the dead, and make my throne On monument slab of marble cold And my scepter of rule Is the spade hold I've builded the houses that lie around In every nook of this burial ground. But come they stranger, or come they kin. gather them In, gather them in.

 Mankind are my subjects, all, all, all Let them oiter in pleasure or toilfully spin, I gather them In, gather them in. ''I gather them in and their final rest Is here. down here in the earth's dari

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

 It's certainty that Lady Godiva wore her stockings.
 Anyway a woman doesn't look any worse in rany-day skirts than man does in nghtgown.
 The average woman kisses her husband goodbye in the morning with the same en- thusiasm she runs washrag over her young hopeful's face.
 When a woman brushes her hair in petti- coats and without waist on she put on her prettest pose, just as if she expected somebody to walk in on her.
 If a woman's new hat looks like it is on hindsde foremost, tipped over the left ear and dragging flowers in her eyes, you nave got to say it is becoming just the same or she will cry,

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
Strong Platform and Strong Nominees.

Out of the turmoil precipitated by the office holders opposed to a convention came wise action. The voclferous minority were determined to rule or ruin, but strong, cool, clear-headed men stood up manfuliy against them, meeting skill with skill. and succeeding in the end in placing the party on solid ground. The wisdom of the con vention is beyond praise. It did the right thing in the right way.
 The democracy of Alabama are solemnly pledged by vote of two to one to the holding of constitutional convention. 1t is solemnly pledged to submission of the instrument framed by the convention to the people for acceptance or the reverse There are other pledges in the democratic platform, all of which are good, but the two named cover the entire ground It Is the duty of every democrat to hereafter work and vote for the holding of a const- tutional convention, and it is the duty of every democrat in the convention to vote for the submission of their completed work tO luo ptOplc or llc party lstS SpOhtu, and 1t has spoken authoritatively in con- vention of representatives from every county and a man who does not accept the decision of the party, thus delivered, ds not a democrat.
 The pledges of the convention are alto gether sufficient. They should remove every doubt that has been expressed. Not only are the thirty y-three nominees of the con- vention in honor bound to sustain to the uttermost the pledges of the convention, but all other nominees of the party must There need not be lingering doubt as to that. The action of the convention will be strictly in accordance with the action of the party for it is to be made up of hon- crats that no clique can control in opposi- tion to a democratic platform.
 The republicans are organizing against the holding of constitutional convention, an- it is not certain that all popuists will favor the holding of convention. It be- comes therefore the plain duty of every democrat who desires to see the suffrage reformed, white rule well and securely es- abolished, and ballot box corruption and demoralization abolished, to line up solidly in favor of the making of new constitu- ton to be ratified before becoming opera tive, by the people. The lines are now drawn, and the duty of all democrats is now plain and unmistakable Every demo- crat should publish and republish the demo- cratic platform. It is without flaw. It meets every demand of public sentiment. Post it up and post alongside 1t list of the nominees of the party for delegates to the proposed convention. The two consu- ute a platform that will sweep the state.

Reunion of Confederate Veterans.

The Confederate Veterans and also the sons of those veterans will hold a reunion at Charleston beginning May 10. and last ing to the close of May 13. There cannot be many more reunions of the veterans them selves, and 1t is pleasure to know that the sons of the veterans are organized, and will keep alive the fame of the heroes, living or dead. One hundred and fifteen camps of the sons of veterans have been organized and fully fifty more are in course of or ganization. The sole object of the new or ganization is to do honor to the men who wore the gray, and to administer charity to their widows and orphans.
 The reunion at Charleston promises to be a memorable event. Wednesday, May 10 is Charlestons memorial day, and the veter- ans and Sons of Veterans have been as- signed prominent places in the parade and ceremonies. Charleston has an auditorium building, and it is believed that all can be comfortably seated. Entertainments have been planned for every night of the re- union, and, socially speaking, all will be made welcome. All the forts in the harbor are to be thrown open to the visitors, and steamers will ply between them and the city, thus giving every visitor opportunities to visit these historical places.
 When it is remembered that the purpose of these reunions is not in any way to fos- ter or create any feeling of bitterness re- garding the outcome of the war, but is simply and solely for the perpetuation of the history of that war, for the preserva- ton of personal records of the men who wore the gray, and for charty's sake, all will promote them and all who convenient ly can will attend them. The people of Charleston propose to make the coming re- union one that will be long remembered.

THE ENQUIP1NG BOARD.
Four Witnesses Testified Concerning
 Army Beef Yesterday.

Washington March S0.-There were two original witnesses before the army beef inquiry court today, and two former wit nesses were recalled. Lieutenant Camp fer who was commissary of subsistence at Lakeland, Fla, and Major Creighton Webb who was on General Lawton's staff in Cuba, testified for the first time. Col onel Woodruff, of the commissary depart ment, and MT. Moorehouse, the Tampa agent for Armour & Co.,, who superintend- ed the supply of fresh beef to the troops at Lakeland, were those recalled.
 Major Webbs testimony dealt almost en- tlrely with the canned roast beef which he denounced as useless as an article of food Lieutenant Gampfer met a representative of Armour's, whom he took to be Mir. Moorehouse, who had told him that chemi- calls were used to preserve the beef. This Mr. Moorehouse, when recalled, denied.
