When time came Saturday at the receiy-
ing hospital for Miss Posts evening meal
the actress was released from the strait
jacket in which it had been found necessa-
ry to place her that she might eat. She
appeared quite tractable until an attendant
opened the door of her cell and handed
Matron Brown tray laden with eatabies
and dishes When the attendant withdrew

which sent the tray and contents flying out
of Matrcn Browns hands and all over the

Mr Winchester had declared that IL
would be the first session of an open court
for the consideration of moral and eco
nomic questions. A genS-al invitation was
given to be present and take part in the
debate. and when the appointed hour ar
rived the attendance was large enough to
fttingly inaugurate the plan. although the
discussion of the subject was not complet-
ed and will be continued at the same hour
next Sunday.
.'What / want to do is to secularize the
church" said Rev. Mr.. Winchester yester-
day. LET every fellow believe as he sees
fit. but try to do something is our motto"
I'VE want 10 arrange to have this church
open seven days in the week. Free read
ing will be provided, games, such as check
ers, dominos, ETC. may be INDUCED in. and
there will be frequent social gatherings
not TO make money or for the support OF
the church. but for the good ard pleasure
of all who enter cur free and open doors.
1t is a waste OF money to have thousands
Of dollars invested in brick and mortar
free of taxation, and open once or twice
week TO promulgate creed that neither
the preacher nor congregation believes in.
Mr. Winchester has recently returned
from North Adams, Mass, where he has
been receiving treatment in a sanitariuIn.
In the future he proposes to have DIS

has been pastor of the present church for
ever twenty-one years, and is an ardent
prohibitionist. the church being an out

GERMS OF GRIP KILLED.
Experiments Showing That These
Deadly Microbes Can Be Ex-
terminated.

Willard H. Morse. NJ. D., f. S. S.. Of
Westfeld, n. j.. we1l-known and prom
inent consulting chemist and therapeutist,
has recently issued an important article
upon the treatment of grip. He took some
of the germs or microbes of grip, put them
upon glass slide under the microscope.
and killed them absolutely by drop of
whisky. Such a demonstration of cure
would be sufficient for an ordinary observ
er, but it was not enough for DR.. Morse.
He says we want also three things. First,
the preventive of disease, second, the sus-
tanning of the powers of the body, and
third, rendering the system unfertile to
germs or bacilli. Therefore, he says, to
successfully kill the germs of grip and
render the body able to resist them, 1t
all depends on the whisky"
This is putting the truth in nutshell.
But the eminent doctor goes still further
and says:
Ordinary whisky is either useless or
dangerous, or both in the treatment of
grip"
''Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky is of the
largest value in the treatment.
Prof. Morse draws this conclusion Who'll
iy by experiment and facts proven under
the microscope. Like all scientists, he
comes TO his conclusion only after testing
and proving and does not attempt to go
further.

WILL ABANDON CUBA.
1t IL Said the President Will Begln
to Withdraw Troops After
the Census Is Taken

Washington. Aug. 2s.-President Me-
Kinley, it is said, has signed proclama-
ton which is to be promulgated in Cuba
in day or two. The proclamation is to
the effect that the census ordered for
Cuba is to be the beginning Of the
movement looking toward the estab-
lishment of an independent government
for that island.
When the census, the proclamation
says, has been completed, arrange
mentswill be made by the United States
government for the holding of local
elections in the various provinces
throughout the island, with the view of
establishing civil governments thus
giving an opportunity to the Cubans to
demonstrate their ability to conduct,
in their own way, the affairs of the is
land.
AS fast as the local authorities per-
feet their scheme of government the
United States troops will be with
drawn. The proclamation, it is said.
will be printed in all the papers in Cuba.
Its reported object is to contradict the
stories circulated in the island that the
United States government does not in
tend to carry out the will of congress
and give independence to the Cubans.
