A SMART LAWYERS MISTAKE.
MuIctcd His Partners in n Deal but
They Afterwards Got
Even.

A well known Maine attorney is especially
noted for his keenness in looking out for
the best end of every bargaln-and for his
ability in getting hold of that end. 1t has
made him unpopular IN some clrcles-has
that trait of his!
On one deal not long ago he was in with
couple of friends-men OF wealth and stand
ing, says the Lewiston (Me) journal. Busi-
ness was good the first year. There was a
generous division of profits. But the lawyer
wasn't satisfied with what was coming to
him, share and share alike with the others.
After receiving his proper whack as part.
ner, he exacted $500 more for council fees"
He said that as a lawyer he was worth that
much more to the deal. This was a new way
of looking at the matter, but the bill was re-
signedly allowed by the friends.
They were pretty good business men, un-
derstand. In little while they saw that the,
venture wasn't panning out very we'll So
the shrewd men of affairs quietly unloadeGy
without saying anything to their partner.
Then little later came the crash.
The lawyer hurried around to hold conso-
lation meeting with the other two.
Gracious isn't this too bad" moaned he.
81 lost soand-so. How much did you fellows
drop. You must have been hit pretty
hard"
You're wrong, old boy" came the cheer
full duet. eve never lost a dollar; no, we
never lost a cent. Ira la.
"What-t-t!"
Never lost a dollar We saw it coming
two months ago. Had a tip. Unloaded All
out!
well then, why in the name of all that's
square and above board, didn't you tell
me?"
"Well we could have, had you allowed us
$500 counsel fees when you took yours See?"

A systematic attack is being made
on the Philadelphia soup houses, on
the ground of their pauperizing influ-
ences. The attack, says an exchange
of that city, comes from within, and is
led by the board of women managers
of one of the houses, who believe that
they have established their accusation
by the result OF a house-to-house can
vass. This canvass showed that of 24S
families assisted by one soup society,
only II, by the most liberal construc-
ton of conditions, could be regarded
as needing the aid. This soup house
system is the oldest charity in Phila
delphia having been in existence near
ly century. The first society was or
ganized in 1903. Others followed at
various intervals, until now there are
il houses in the city, where soup is dis
pensed to about 10000 persons each
winter. About 100000 quarts of soup
and more than 100000 loaves of bread
are given away each season, at a cost
to the charitably inclined of more than
$4,000.

In fashionable church, in Fifth
avenue, New York, marriages are per
formed free, if desired, and an an
nouncement is made TO that effect. "If
a clerk comes here to be married" i" says
the pastor, and insists on having an
organ wedding march, it means S25;
if he wants the choir. it means more;
if he wants flowers. ribbons and spe-
cial ushers, it means a great deal more.
But if he comes here and says: i want
TO get married. and dispenses with all
these things. it costs him nothing"

In the abundant talk about bacteria,
during these later years, there is cause

In the abundant talk about bacteria,
during these later years, there is cause
for alarm to those
in whom "a little
GERMS knowledge is a dam
erous thing" If the air is swarmng
with bacilli, say they, where is safety?
How shall the human organism protect
itself? At first, says Youths Compan-
ion, the wind of science swept US into
mad generalization. Germs were
everywhere, and all germs were harm
full; therefore, the more food, clothing
and coins were sterilized, the better for
us. Then, when it was discovered that
not only the food we eat, the air we
breath, but the surface and cavities OF
our bodies, swarmed with bacteria,
while we might be enjoying robust
health, it was decided that only certain
forms of germ growth were harmful.
These were labeled with great care
and ingenuity, until it seemed as II
every disease was at last provided
with it's specific cause; and as soon as
that was done, farther advance in
science made us aware that even a spe-
cific disease-germ has no power except
under favorable conditions, where the
body is disposed to that disease. Fer
dinand Hueppe, the German professor
of hygiene, has recently declared that
the causes of ILLNESS can no longer be
regarded as if they were as simple as
problem in botany. No germ, however
deadly, can be the sole cause of dis
ease, nor can it produce poisonous ef-
fects in more than one body in four,
even though it enter them. The con-
ditions prevailing in the cells and fluids
of given body may change the deadly
germs of tuberculosis or cholera to
harmless products. "When no sus-
ceptibility to disease exists, we may
harbor the bacillus with impunity."
Therefore, while no care should be
omitted to bring about the best sani-
tary conditions, we need not give way
to hysterical horror over germs. By
keeping the body in a condition of good
general health we are doing all in our
power to thwart the criminal class of
bacilli and to give the policeman germ
chance.

SUNLIGHT AT NIGHT.
Says About AcetyIene Gas-Lots
of Light-Little Expense.

From the Xenia (O.) Daily Gazette, April 13.
Mr.. l.. NJ. Garfield, well known in this
city as the superintendent of the Miami
Powder Works, was recently inter
viewed by q Gazette representative, re-
garding his personal experience with
the new illuminant, known to the COM
mercial world as Acetylene Gas. Mr..
Garfield said:
II installed a ten light acetylene
generator in the cellar OF my residence,
426 North Galloway street, about two
years ago, and / have used it for illu-
minating my home every night since.
l have certainly given it thorough
test during that length of time, and
know its advantages. While the ma
chine is supposed to develop sufficient
gas for but ten lights, 1 have often
used as many as fifteen lights at once
with perfect success. The light it gives
is brilliant and white, and the nearest
approach to sunlight of anything Yet
produced for artificial lighting"
what about the expense, Mr.. Gar"
feld?"
Il have paid about four dollars q
bide which is used in the generator to
make the gas, and use something less
than seven hundred pounds a year.
Approximately the total cost per year
has been about twenty-seven dollars,
as the carbide is the only expense. 1t
is the perfection of light at little cost
and trifing labor, free from odor or
anything Objectionable. / have moth
ing but praise for the generator and
the light it develops, and l am not
speaking theoretically, but from my
actual experience in my own resi-
dence."
In this connection, the 1899 report to
the Governor of the State, of Mr.. A. w.
Stiles, secretary of the Girls Indus
trial Home, at Rathbone, o., regarding
the Acetylene Gas plant in use in that
institution, will be of interest to our
readers.
Mr.. Stiles says: "Our Acetylene Gas
plant has given very gratifying results
during the past year, the light from it
being a very steady, white light, with
out smoke, by far superior and more
satisfactory than that furnished by
the old system used here. We now havd
about 600 burners, which can be in.
creased, with but a very small outlay,
| to five times that number. We have
had no trouble in getting all the car
bide we need. Including all expenses
| incurred in remodeling and changing
the (gas) plant to the present system,
our lights have not cost us nearly SO
much for the year as did the system
abandoned in July, 1898. There is no
more danger in using it than there is
in the use of any gas. We think it is
the best light known, and requires but
little skill in its manufacture"
The popularity of this new illuminant
is attestcd by the fact that in the few
years since its development into COM
mercial possibility, over fifty thousand
buildings have been successfully light
ed by it, and the annual ratio of in
crease is becoming greater yearly.
| 1t is the ideal light for dwellings.
stores, churches and every class of
building where artificial light is need
| ed, and it is little wonder that the own
ers of indifferently lighted buildings
are looking earnestly into the subject
of lighting by Acetylene Gas.

terms of surrender proposed by Mr..

their party in order to prevent a pub

Mr.. Drynn's Strength.

Mr.. Bryan's friends declare he is
100 per cent. stronger in New York
this year than he was in 1896. II
this claim is correct, the ratio of in
crease would enable the democratic
candidate to carry two counties in
that state in November next. 1t will
be recalled that Mr.. Bryan carried but
one New York county in 1896.

the company has several local agents
