The utter lack of enthusiasm evinced
in the proceedings was strongly outlined
to-day by the indifference of the popu-
lace to the bulletins of the proceedings of
the convention, which were posted at
various points. The "surging crowd. .
popularity supposed to c~ongregate on such
occasions, were simply not there. If a
dozen persons congregated around one,
that was the limit. One man in Broad

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought Of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard OF Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation OF undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous aud organic
action of the system, and that is oil
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. For sale by

DISEASE IN GARBAGE GATHERING

DISEASE IN GARBAGE GATHERING
In all of our hygienic concern and
progress it seems strange that, the
world over, there is such great careless
ness in the gathering and disposal OF
the refuse Of city houses. 1t is usually
stored or rather dumped about cellars
and back yards for q reckless week, in
which all the elements necessary to
fermentation and putrefaction have
ample time to ripen aud dry. Then it
is mixed and set out on the pavement
for the winds to carry to the mouths
and poses of all the inhabitants. II the
wind happens to be at all active, the
dumping into the wagons and carts
soon fills the city with the clouds OF
dust. Then for miles the loose jointed,
over-6lled wagons jostle over and scat
ter large part of the contents along
the streets, until at last, 10 dumping
(perhsps down long steep), the winc
has another opportunity of sending
abroad all but the heaviest and least
noxious portion Of the load. Every
city permits carpet. beating and rug
dusting, SO that all tuberculous or 9TH
er disease germs secure every possible
chance to find lodging place 10 hu-
man throats and clothes, and, il once
failing, they are beaten up and resown
necessarily until the seed no longer
falls upon barren ground Philadel-

RODE SKATES. NOT A GOAT.

Triil was commenced in the Court OF
Common Pleas in Baltimore on Thurs.
day of the suit for 5000 damages in
stitu ed by William II. Tausman, jr,
for injuries alleged to have been receiv-
ed by him while being initiated into the
Oriental degree OF the Junior Order
United American Mechanics, 10 Jack
sou Hall, GreenmouDt avenue aud Bid
die sire ct, January 20, 1898.
Mr.. Bsusman is 10 years old and lives
at 70l Potter aveoue. He had been
member of Mount Royal Council, Junior
o der Ulited American Mechanic,
about six months when he went with
twelve others to take the Oriental
degree.
Mr.. Bausman said the candidates
were mustered in all snteroom, where
they were told to take off all their
clothing. Some did this, but Mr.. Baus
man retained bis underclothing and
stockings. Roller skates were then put
on him and anot Ter candidate. They
were then blindtolded and together
were rushed around the hall, two men
having hold of each. There was col
ision between him and the other man
on skates. OGe of the other fellows
skates, he said, landed on his breast
over his heart, permanently iDjuting
nim.
The suit is against john A. Hitch
cock, Joseph K. Woley, George G Ash.
Ton, George Lynch, Charles w. HugR,
Ed ward Thompson, Jacob b. Hunt,
Charles L. Evans and George A.
Spence, who are alleged to be officers
and to have taken the most active part
in the proceedings. Mr.. Bausman sl
eges in bis suit that they assaulted him.
The defense is that Mr.. B4usman was
not assault ed and that he was not in-
jured as he claims.
Yesterday the suit cf II. Bausmsn
was taken from the jury by Judge
Wright. The Judge held that the evil
tence did not show who inflicted the
injuries alleged, and directed the jury
to render a verdict for the defendants,
but this was prevented by the attorneys
for Bausmsn not answering when his
came was called. A judgement of non
pros. was accordingly entered.
Oaly members of the Junior Order
may receive the Oriental degree, but
this degree is farcical and has nothing
to DO with the ritual OF the order and
Is not recognized by it.
John A. Hitchcock, one OF the de-
PENDANTS, says he is not an officer OF the
Oriental degree. George A. Spence,
another defendant, says he was 20,
present at the imitation complained of.
