Bacteria I'm Straw Hats.
From the Birmingham Mai

The bacteriologist's latest discovery is
that the straw hat Is a sort of playground
for germs and bacilli. Those who have had
the privilege of seeing lovely woman fasten
on her hat recall the fact that sometimes
she holds her hat pins between her pretty
lips. This characteristic has been noticed
by the bacteriologist. The pins, after be-
ing thrust through the straw, are covered
with the minute bacilli, and when placed
between the lips they find a congenial
region in which to develop their activities.
Thrice happy in their dalliance on the lips
of beauty, the tiny organisms multiply
rapidly, and, passing through the mouth,
enter the system, and. it is feared, bring
aoout that debilitated state which blanches
the cheek and robs the eyes of their lus-
ter. .
his new terror also concerns man. With
bacilli on the lips Of women there is the
danger of them being soon conveyed to
the lips of man.
manufacturer OF Cheapside, Luton,
says that microbe, germ or bacillus can
survive the terribly searching ordeal which
the white straw plat has to undergo in a
series of baths of peroxide of hydrogen
and peroxide of sodium, then through
strong and dense vapors of burning sulphur
and sometimes finishing with a further
bath of hyposulphate of soda and oxaEc
acid.

Philadelphia to learn the trade of a chem
ist, and for five years he worked at his
task without thought of any other occu-
patton. Then he became the victim of an
attack of stage fever Of that virulent kind
that Is to be relieved only by going on the
stage. Joseph Alfred Smith, then youth
playing boy parts at the Walnut Street
Thsater, used to pass his home every night
on the way to the theater, and this added
to his enthusiasm for the stage. He made
the acquaintance of the young actor, con-
fided his ambitions to him and lost no OF
portunity to associate with the members
of the profession.
Finally he got the opportunity to make
his first appearance on the stage, and in
the company OF SO famous an actor as
Junius Brutus Booth He played Richmond
and showed that his ambitions were found
ed on ability, SO that the star advised him
to continue his studies, whicn had been
begun under the direction of Lenluel White
who taught Edwin Forrest. For two years
he studied without appearing in public, and
when he acted again it was IN the COM
pany of Edwin Forrest. From that time he
remained on the stage and his progress to
the top was steady. For ten years he act
ed in various stock companies throughout
the country, and first in 1S47 came to this
city and at the Chatham Theater played
Richard III, as well as a number of Shakes
pearean characters in his repertoire He
played a second engagement there soon
afterward, and from that time his rank
was fixed.
roi nine year nc went 10 Ill the prlnc1-
pal cities, playing with the stock companies

he went to England. He acted first at
Drury Lane and afterward in the principal
English cities. On his return he produced
for the first time . version OF Faust"
! which he had made himself and played
Mephistopheles in i until 1876. He retired
from the stage and settled In Philadelphia
nearly twenty-five years ago. He taught

HOUSE OF DETENTION.
Query as to Commitments of Males
Above Seventeen Years Old.

Above seventeen Years Old.
Maj Richard Sylvester, the superintend-
ent of police, has forwarded to the District
Commissioners a communication from John
Gallaher, acting sergeant and superintend-
ent of the house of detention in which he
calls attention to the fact that one Arthur
Malone, white boy, resident of Chicago,
was arrested by an officer of the sixth pre-
cinct September 21 and was sent to the Po-
lice Court, charged with vagrancy. From
the Police Court he was sent to the house
of detention by Judge Kimball. He gave
his age as seventeen years and remained
there for several days. Sergeant Gallaher
said the case was an unusual bne and he
deemed it his duty to call it to the notice of
the major and superintendent.
In forwarding the papers to the Commits
sionerS, Maj. Sylvester made the following
Endorsement:
Under the law for the creation and main
tenance Of the house of detention males are
confined therein of sixteen years and under
There is another law relative to the board
of children's guardians which leaves it to
the discretion of the court to what dis
position shall be made of males seventeen
years of age other than sending them to the
Jail or workhouse. This boy was over sew
enteen years of age, and l would be pleased
to be advised as to whether the house of
detention should pc made the temporary
abode of boys over seventeen years of age
for an extended time, as in this instance.
"If this institution is to take the place OF
a station house, without the disagreeable
features that attach thereto, for the con-
finement of boys sixteen years of age and
under, and of females in the discretion OF
the Commissioners, as the law reads, II
seems to me 1t is fulfilling the intention OF
those who established it; but if males over
the age prescribed, bordering full
fedged manhood, are to be maintained here
an unlimited length of time 1t occurs to me
that it is somewhat Of departure from the
correct principle"

A RESIDENCE FOR THE PRESIDENT
The White House Should BE Devoted
to Official Uses.

The White House Should BE Devoted
to Official Uses.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
President Roosevelt has a family larger
than that of any other man who ever In
stalled his family within the relatively
contracted quarters of the White House.
1t is we'll known that the capacity of that
historic structure in the matter Of bed
rooms Is far from being excessive and it's
latest inmate is likely to experience some
embarrassment in providing for his house
hold with a due regard to the claims Of
that large hospitality which 1t is proper
that the incumbent of the presidential office
should be in a position to extend.
This Is combination of circumstances
which may have the result of bringing
about the execution of reform in this
connection whose desirability has long oeen
recognized, but whose realization, as often
happens in such cases, has been persistent
ly postponed. There Is no difference of in
structed and impartial opinion as to the
inaGequacy of the residential accommoda-
tion with which the chief magistrate of
this great republic Is now provided. The
White House has long ceased to correspond
with the dignity and Importance Of the
presidential office. 1t was all right when
this nation was small and poor and fee
BILE. 1t is not all right now that the United
States has grown to be one of the richest
and most populous among the nations Of
the world
1t is not proposed and it Is not de-
sirable that the historic mansion should
suffer a transformation into something new
and strange. 1t Is an interesting and prec-
ious monument of the past, which should
be preserved for future generations in all
its integrity. But it ought to be reserved
exclusively for official uses. 1t should
cease to be a residence. A new house for
the President ought to be erected within
| the extensive grounds in it's immediate
vicinity to the end that he may be enabled
to live as becomes his position and that he
! may be assured the privacy which is es-
sential to the home and of which under
| existing conditions he is to a considerable
| extent deprived. 1t is known that this Is
a subject upon which President Roosevelt
| entertains some positive opinions. 1t Is
| not unlikely that the building of new and
modern White House will be one of the
features of his term

womea. rate. at Hotels.
From the Chicago Record Herald.

At the old-fashionssSd sd inns and restaurants
in Sweden it il. customary to charge less for
they do not eafyas ndch This amuses peo-
pie, but it Is not soaabsurd as the practice
of charging half rates for children in our
own country. Everybody who has had any
thing to do with healthy, boys or girls
knows that they usually eat twice as much
as the average grown person, and yet at
many hotels they are taken at half price.
At some hotels In Sweden man ani wife
are charged as one and one-half persons If
they occupy the same room. A husband
and wife may travel as one and one-half
persons by railway, and also by the pest
routes, furnishing their own carriaees On
local trains on most of the railroads there
Is no first-alass accommodation--only sec
ond and third-class. This is said to be a
political measure adopted by the dema-
gogues in parliament to emphasize the the
ory of equality among the people. On all
through trains, however, there is-at least
one first-class carriage. The railway svs-
tenn of Sweden covers nearly 5000 miles.
About half the roads are owned by the
government, the remainder by private cor
porations. The cars are comfortable and
well kept, and upon cne of the roads there
Is dining car.

Mr. George L. Ready. who has been en-
