Whiske.s, Lips and Bacilii

An article on microbes i, the
Beard published in the Sanita:ian,
gives the cheerful information that
DR.. Schoull, of Tunis, pronounces
mems whiskers simply 'the happy
bunting grounds of bacilli. They
are, consequently, even more danger
Gus to the public health than womah s
lips, against which the scientists have
vainly warned mankind for some time
past. A guinea pig inocculated with
material obtained from boards and
mustaches became Immediately uncon-
scious and was restored to health only
by hypOdermic injections OF elixir from
woman's lips. 1t would appear from
this that the whisker microbe and the
feminine lip microbe, when brought
into contact. neutralize each other 5
harmful propensities. journal.
The APPEAL has always thought
that the alarm over the bacili scare
was unwarrant-d. Good scientific au-
thority now prouounces kissing harm
less and gives good scientific reasons
for the conclusion it reaches.
The Reno Journal, which sees some
thing to be alarmed at ia almost every
thing, would hardly endorse kissing
unless it had fully investigated the
matter and found it all right. When
SO conservative an authority as this
backs up proposition it can safely os
monkeyed with.

UNIVERSITY SHAKEN UP
Pref. Jackson Resigns and
There is Excitement
in Reno

The riverside town is cOnsidera bly,
shaken up over the resignation of Pref
Jackso the head of the Mining De-
partment. 1t is claimed by the Journ-
al that he was frozen out of the Uni
versity by DR.. Stubs and that the
Regents have shouldered the 1espons-
Utility.
According to the Journal Prof.
jackson is the favorite Professor of
he versity, and the students are
much incersed. After they learned of
his resignation they secured a band
and a banner with Jackson's name on
it and started to parade the town,
" hen the Professor, learning of their
Intention, went to the campus and pre-
vailed upon the students 80 forego their
demonstration in his honor.
1t is limited that other pl ofes ors will
resign and that general sinking up
OF the institution Will follow.
Those who side with tie Regents
say that the cause OF the rupture be-
tween the Professor ard the institu-
ton arose from the fact that he drew a
handsome salary and was away too
much starting cyanide plants III various
! parts OF the country, at Willow Glen,
/ Silver City ana at the Old Englisa
! Mil near Reno and that in addition &c
this be stared an assay office of his
| own IN Reno and made money out OF
this in addition to his salary as Pro
| fessor.
1t is claimed also that other profes
sors in the institution are agents fo
bicycles, shoe manufactures ana cloth
ing houses and that they spend a goot
deal Of time at these businesses.

the Regents and the journal oppose
it. At this distance from the scene o
hostilities the inside vi the trouble

FARM LAB0RERs ARE sCARoE.


Special Correspondence of Gazette and Journal.
Middletown, March 10. The farmers
of this section of New Castle county
mot here Tuesday afternoon, to discuss
the scarcity of farm labor.
Assertion was made that the scarcity
is caused by agents of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Co. hiring the laborers to
straighten the railroad tracks and i'm
prove other property of the company at
and near Middletown.
committee, composed of Merritt N.
Willetts and William r. Cochran. was
appointed TO call upon the railroad
officials and ask them 10 insist that the
agents hire city laborers only, and not
leave the farmers without help.
The agents of the railroad company
are offering higher wages than the
farmers pay: hence the scramble to
obtain employment on the railroad.
Owing to the near approach of spring
work, the farmers are becoming
alarmed.
