A Chicago man is asking for a con-
cession to run line of dining and
parlor cars on the street railroads, the
same as Pullman cars on the steam
railroads. The cars are to be run al
ter theatres, regular supper being
provided while people are on the way
home, and to use for picnic parties, or
at any time when people are willing to
pay extra for seat. That is about
what the street railroads are coming
to. a rival of steam railroads. They
will have it down fine pretty soon with
a laundry on the street cars, so you
can take a special car, remove your
shirt and collar and have them washed
and ironed on the way down town.
Then will come Turkish baths, barber
shops. manicures. corn doctors, society
functions on the cars, and man won't
want to 20 to business at all. What
this country is liable to suffer from is
too much COMPOUNDED luxury. The
old street car, where you stand up on
the platform and make room for the
ladies to 90 in and stand up. is good
enough for the ordinary lobster

TO KEEP OUT BUBoNIc PLAGUE.
Philippines in Charge of the Marine
Hospital Service.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The war depart
ment is taking steps to prevent the intro
duction of the plague in the Philippines,
into consultation Surgeon General Wyman
of the Marine Hospital Service TO discuss
the establishment of a quarantine system
for the islands
1t was decided that the war department
should adopt towards the Philippines a
policy like that 1t pursued towards Cuba
in the matter of the protection of health,
namely, confide the maintenance of a
quarantine system to the Marine Hospital
Service.
Surgeon General Wyman has no con-
firmation of the report that three sus-
pected cases of bubonic plague have been
discovered within the walled city of Ma
Mia, but no attempt is made TO conceal
the gravity of the situation should the
report prove true. Still, il is said a few
sporadic cases need not necessarily result
in an epidemic in the islands.
Surgeon General Wyman says the dis.
ease no longer creates the dread II once
did because it has been demonstrated that
it can be handled by modern scientific
work 1t has been stamped out of Alex
andria, Egypt; Kobe, Japan, and Vienna
Austria. The methods of fighting It are
the same as those used against smallpox,

The greatest danger is due to its pos
sble introduction into new localt es
through ambulant or walking cases, which
defy the surveillance of the authorities.

cyanide of mercury. the poison which is
alleged to have caused the death of Mrs.
Adams. He had made it himself and the
process was easy. He took prusslan blue
and yellow oxide OF mercury boiled them
together, filtered the mass, and the pre-
cipitate contained cyanide OF mercury
Still other drugs would yield cyanide OF
mercury.
All Of the drugs required were what
is known as dry colors. Molineux, It
will be remembered, was superintendent

Gov. Taylor's attorneys are preparing
not only rebuttal evidence to offset Inc

attempting to show up counter-frauds of

The Senator says that among other things
it will be brought out that Taylor was
robbed of over 1900 votes in Kenton coun-
ty, Goebers home.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 3.-The reading of
Gov. McLaurin's message in the Legisla-

the section referring to the growth Of
Mormonism in Mississippi was reached.
The Governor denounced the Mormon sect
in scathing terms. and recommended the
adoption of laws that will prevent the
teachings of the doctrine in the state.
During the discussion of the subject he
said:
There is no threatened danger to the
state more baneful than the lecherous
teaching of The Mormon apostles of poly
gamy. IL is more dangerous because it Is
taught under the guise of the ministry of
the gospel. The Mormons disclaim the
open teachings of polygamy in the pulpit
but they teach it in the corner and the
minister's cloak gives potency to their
SDeech.'

ments which now prevent Gen. Methuen
from proceeding to Kimberley.
Col. Pitcher has only about forty miles
travel before he achieves this end, and, il
this understanding is correct, an attack by

relieve Kimberley may be expected any
