paper which provoked the most discus

Springfield, on Our Milk supply DR..
Munson showed by eminent authorities
that tuberculosis in animals and man
was the same. and that tuberculosis
was easily communicated to man by

1t was the consensus of opinion that
LAWS should be passed prohibiting sell
ling OF milk except by those able TO
jshow that their cows had been regu-

/ found free from tuberculosis. It was
! also stated that the milk should not be

who has Just returned from the States
after purchasing most OF the supplies
for the new system. The engines.
boilers and generators are now at Seat

WILL TAKE PASSENGERS.
Foreigt Ships Can Leave Them
Here En- Route.

There has been considerable discus
sion as to whether vessels of foreign
lines would be allowed to bring passen-
gers from the United States to Hawaii
under the new regime as formerly. Ac-
cording to the Interpretation of the new
laws generally accepted, a passenger
trade between ports of the United
States such as San Francisco and Ho-
nolulu cannot be maintained by vessels
under foreign flags.
Now II is understood that the Treas
ury department has ruled that the
ships of the Pacific Mail Company, the
Togo Kisen Kaisha and the Occidental
and Oriental Company can leave pas
sengers here to be taken on by follow
ing vessels of the same lines. This vii
not be interfering with the coastine
business as the tickets held by the sucI
passengers will be '1ay-over' ticket
and will be bought from the United
States to foreign port or vice versa.

Bitten By q M occasin.

Professor Percy Selous, of the faculty
Of the Greenville (Mich) high school,
met with death in a fearful form
short time ago. Professor Selous, who
was reputed to be the son of an Eng
lish nobleman, had a fancy for the or
der ophidia, and a large number of
deadly serpents were among his collec-
ton. One day he took from its cage
pet Florida water moccasin to exhibit
to friend, and in replacing the reptile
in it's cage the wire door pinched and
held it's tail. Without an instant's
hesitation the professor opened the cage
to release his pet, when it struck him,
burying its fangs in one of his fingers
The water moccasin is known as one of
the most deadly of snakes. no antidote
for its poison having yet been discover
ed. The professor thought there was a
chance that the bite of the cobra might
counterfeit it, and with the alternative
of more speedy death he went to an
other cage and taking out a squirming
cobra endeavored to induce the REPTILE
to bite him. The cobra was sIapped
and pinched but refused to rouse itself
more than to hiss indolently. The SER
pent was held close to the open mouth
or the agonized man that its poison
might the more quickly take effect in
the mucous membranes of the mouth
and lips. but the most heroic trea tnent
could not induce ii to strike. Professor
Selous lived several days in the most
dreadful agony. He was perfectly con-
scious to the last. The bitten finger
underwent singular change, gradually
shortening until it was nearly absorbed
in the hand, while the arm swelled to
the size of a stove-pipe. the skin break
ing open from the pressure. The skin
became rough and corrugated, like that
of a serpent. aand, beginning at the
wrist, an image of the snake extended
up the arm, the head resting between
the shoulder-biades. Dozens of reputa-
bic business men of Greenville will tes-
tify to the truth of this. The arm and
the entire body turned black before his
death. When the end came a raid was
made on the snakes in the house. and
all that could be located were killed.
but 1t is quite certain that many escap,
ed the general slaughter, as the profess
sor was in the habit of burying many
of them in the cellar during the winter.
and as these slumbering snakes have
yet to awaken, ii is almost needless to
say the premises are carefully avoided.
Professor Selous's remains were taken
to England for burial

suffrage. His independent report ia
vors a house to be composed of 374
members. Mr.. Hopkins in the major

uncommon. Massachusetts,, for in

ty-three in the third, had but nine I'M
der the ninth. 1t has the sanction and
approval of sixty years of national ex-
istence.
The plan is to divide the constitu-
tional population by 357, the proposed
membership. The quotient 2Os, S6S, is
the ratio Of representatives to popula-
ton. This ratio applied to the popu-
lation Of each state will yield in the
aggregate a number somewhat less
than 357, the number determined upon
as the membership Of the house. The
difference is made up by assigning to
the states having the largest majority
fractions additional representatives un.
til a sufficient number have been as
signed to bring the total up to 357. A
membership of more than 357, the re-
port says. would make the house I'M
wieldy.
The report of the minority is signed
by Messrs. Burleigh, Russell, Heatwole,
Crumpacker, Griffith and Wilson and
proposes as a substitute for the Hop
kins measure, a bill fixing the total
number Of representatives at 1856 in
stead of 357, as in the Hopkins bill.
