PULLMAN CLUB CARS FOR
THE WASHINGTON AND
SOUTHWESTERN LIMITED
VIA SOUTHERN RAILWAY.

The distinctive feature of the
Washington and Southwestern YES
tibuled Limited of the Southern
Railway in service between New
York and New Orleans is the high
class of patronage. The travellers
around the world invariably state
that they consider this famous,
train one of the most delightful
and luxurious they have seen. A
new feature has been added in the
way of a Club Car for the gentle
men in which they can assemble
and enjoy the delight of a good
cigar and a social chat. The plea
sure of the ladies has also been
provided for by placing an obser-
walton car on the train for their
especial occupancy. This train is
now composed exclusively of yes
tibuled Pullman cars with the ex-
ception of the dining car service
which is under the exclusive man
agement of the Southern Railway,
the standard of which is superior
to any similar service afforded
anywhere in the world.

NO Third TERM BOOM.
President Mckinley Announces His
Positive Opposition.
'gEal,D DECLINE DENOMINATION

Pie Declares That Talk Of a Third
Term Would React on The National
Policies the Administration ls En-
deaVoring to Promote.
Washington, June 12.-President Nc
Kinley yesterday put an effectual qui-
etus on the third term talk which has
gained some currency in the newspa-
pers through interviews with certain
well known Republicans favoring the
denomination of the president for
third term. Shortly before yesterdays
cabinet meeting adjourned Secretary
Cortelyou gave to the press a signed
statement by the president intended
for the American people announcing
that he was not a candidate for third
term and would not accept renomi-
nation if one were rendered.
A decision to issue such statement
was reached Monday night, when the
president read to the members of the
cabinet his proposed statement, at the
same time personally pledging each to
secrecy until public announcement was
made. The cabinet, on hearing the
reasons the president advanced. coin
cided with the view of their chief that
the present was an opportule time for
its PRONUNCIATION. The phraseOlogy OF
the announcement was considered fur
Their by the cabinet yesterday and af
ter a change or two from Monday
nights draft Secretary Cor.elyou was
directed to make it public.
The presidents intimate persona
and political friends later expressed
themselves as not surprised at the de
cisiOn announced, but quite general!
conceded that they had not expected
such an announcement at this time
thinking that the president would no
so quickly take heed of the third tern
gossip. They said, however, that the!
believed the president had shown hi
quick and excellent political judgmen
by crushing the third term movemen
in it's very birth.
The presidents statement follows:

to battle the quickest Of parliamentary re-
porters. Bulwer Lytton, again, could re-
cite an admirable essay; but his delivery

accompanied his speech were as grotesque
as those Of an old-fashioned post boy.

Death Turks in q Sneexe.

Il
DR.. Herman Koeniger. German of high
scientific attainments, has for some time
been trying to find out what becomes Of the
germs that are released when . person
speaks, coughs and sneezes, and from the
conclusions at which he has arrived Henri
De ParvilIe, French scientist, feels JUS
titled in claiming that person may by
simply sneezing commit homicide.
"Dr Koeniger," he says, has clearly
proved that q person who speaks, coughs
and sneezes In a room In which there is no
appreciable current of air disseminates
germs to distance Of more than seven me-
ters. and that these germs are carried In
all directions and even to height of more
than two meters. AS few persons talk alike,
the germs disseminated by speech vary
greatly, some Of them remaining In suspen-
sion for an hour and others only for a
quarter of an hour. the latter being espe-
cially the case when there Is even a slight
current of air.
ION the other hand, germs are very
quickly disseminating by coughing and
sneeZing, and the smaller the microbes are
the further they are likely to spread.
Among such tiny microbes are those of in
huenza and the plague, whereas among the
larger ones are those of tuberculosis and
diphtheria. Evidently, therefore, the dam
ger is greatest whenever there is the great
cts number Of microbes within a persons
mouth.
I'm view Of DR.. Koenigers discovery 1t
will be well for every one to keep as far
away as possible from persons who cough
and sneeze. Physicians advise persons suf-
fering from colds to gargle and keep their
mouths cleansed. but Is that sufficient and
are any such precautions q guaranty
against diphtheria? In any case a person
should always cover his mouth with his
hand or his handkerchief before he coughs
or sneezes. Sneezing seems an innocent
act, but DR.. Koeniger's experiments show
that 1t could very easily be used as a weap-
on with which to commit homicide"
