A MILLIONAIRE.

In another column will be found
the correction over his own sigma
ture of a report that Rev. E. e.
Hendrick had come into possession
Of a fortune Of SIS, 100000 and
had pledged 81 900, 600 to the Cum
berland University. Brother Hen
drick is holding a meeting at the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church
in Lebanon, and some enthusiastic
but misguided friend and newspa-
per correspondent from that place
proceeded to pay his respects in
this sensational style. Brother
Hendrick is, doubtless, little known
among men of wealth, but he is,
Notwithstanding, q millionaire
that great big, jolly, good-natured
fellow, with the heart and soul of
giant and nature as unselfish as
the motive which prompted the
suggestion of great gift to the
university; the man of God in
spired with the magic Of love and
sympathy, gifted as teacher Of
the doctrines of the lowly Naza
rine-that man is rich. We be-
Iieve he has credit on the balance
sheet of time and eternity that
would even tempt the Rockefel
lers, Morgans, or Vanderbilts,
and we are sure that none of them
are possessed Of more of the sun
shine Of life and wholesome good
humor-a benefactor of mankind
and a prophet Of his race.
We listened to Brother Hendrick
when be first preached in Union
City and remember how he inn
pressed us then and our remark
that be was the man for the place.
He may never have the paltry mil
lions Of treasury notes; if be should
we guarantee the university would
hear from him in a good, large
round sum. But if all the men
were as strong and earnest in their
support Of the church and its
institutions as he, the university
would't need the million dollar
endowment.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The task in which Congress
must first engage when it ensembles
two weeks hence, is the formation
of its committees. In the Senate
these will be charged only in SO
far as may be made necessary by
the retirement of perhaps dozen
senator's and the admittance Of
their successors; in the House, the
alterations may be radical. The
Senate can 60 ahead with its bust
ness and adjust its committees at
its leisure; the House can do moth
ing until its committees have been
appointed by the Speaker. An
example of this last was seen a
few years ago, when the House
remained in session pretty much
all summer waiting for the Senate
to act on a certain measure and
yet was powerless to do any bust
ness because of Speaker Reeds re-
fusal to appoint any committees
except the one or two needed for
his purpose. Hence the Senate
always gets down to work quicker
than the House, only to be passed
before the end Of the session, ow-
ing to the latter'smore expeditions
methods.

TO WASHINGTON.

Hon. Rice A. Pierce leaves in a
few days for Washington City to
be present at meeting of Demo-
cratic members to select a candi-
date for leader Of the minority in
the Fifty Eighth Congress. There
is little apprehension of serious
opposition to the reelection Of the
Hon. JAS. d. Richardson, of Ten
nessee, but he has requested his
friends to be on hand in case Of
emergency, and Mr.. Pierce is one
Of his wafmest supporters. With
his return to Congress Mr.. Pierce
leaves his fences for the campaign
next year 10 first rate shape. That
he will succeed himself in another
election seems now q foregone con-
clusion. The old war horse OF
many hard-fought and successive
battles enters the field again en-
trenched with a still more formid-
able record Of long and yalient
service and the strength Of his
home support. A member Of the
Committee on Appropriations, one
Of the very best assignments IN
the House or Senate, and rank
achieved through assiduous effort
andability, coupled with brilliant
speech in opposition to the Porto
Rican tariff, in which he drew
the attention Of both sides Of the
entire House and packed galleries,
his prestige is increased in Con-
gress and at home in his own dis
trict. AS the writer knows, this
speech was the gossip of both
Democrats and Republicans in
Washington at the time it was de-
livered, the remark being made to
Us BY several Republicans that

1t is probable that the commit
tees of both House and Senate will
show little change from those Of
last year except where due to re-
firing members. The Speaker can
change the personnel Of these in
the House but usually prefers not
to do so when be can avoid it.
Few chairmanships are vacant
this year, those Of Banking and
Currency. Elections No. 2 and

in the Committee on Rules, which
practically directs the work Of the
House, caused by the transfer Of
Mr.. Bailey Of Texas to the Senate.
Four vacancies occur on Public
Buildings and on Rivers and Har-
bors, both Of which committees
are in great demand through the
facilities enjoyed by their mem
bers in providing for the interests

SPREAD YELLOW PEST

Returning Delegates to Pan American
Medical Congress at Havana Say tho
Quarantine system Was Pronounced
Absurd.

The United States system of yellow
fever quarantine Is an absurdity, ac-
cording to the verdict of the Pan
American Medical congress, which met
last week in Havana, Cuba. Yellow fe.
yer, the congress agreed, Is not conta-
gious by inhalation, and on this ac-
count no amount of disinfection can
prevent its spread. "Kill mosquitoes
brief, was the conclusion the congress
reached.
Taking up experiments made some
time ago by the United States yellow fe-
yer commission, the assemblage of doc
tors representing several countries de-
clded that the mosquito is responsible
for epidemics of this malady. These
experiments were conducted upon ten
men Of different nationality, who were
listed us non-immunes.
After being exposed to the fever In
the many accepted ways without con-
tracing 1t, the men were placed In n
room filled with mosquitoes which We're
inoculated with yellow fever germs. All
Of the men were bitten and nine out of
the ten came down with the fever in
periods varying from two days and
nine hours to five days.
The congress was attended by seven
physicians from Illinois. Those who
went from Chicago were DR.. II. p.
Newman, DIR. George II. Simmons, DIR.
d. Wyllls Andrews, DIR. Henry II. BY
ford and DIR. l.. II. Montgomery. DR..
Montgomery returned yesterday.
Speaking Of the yellow fever question
he said:
''rhe congress practically agreed that
yellow fever quarantine is not only use
less, but that 1t is an absurdity. The
only way the disease can be kept from
spreading is by eXterminating the culex
fasciata branch of the mosquito family.
As that seems to be an impossbility.
there appears to be no solution of this
perplexing problem"
The next session of the congress will
be held in Buenos Ayres, three years
hence.
