CATARRH and
CONSUMPTION.
Their Cause and How, Contracted.

Their Cause and How, Contracted.
Catarrh and consumption are germ
diseases in every sense of the word,
local in nature and not hereditary or
blood diseases. The germs of both
diseases may be taken in the stom-
ach. or injected into the blood without
endangering a persons health in the
least. But let these germs become dry
and inhaled in the air we breathe,
then If there is any irritated or sore
spots, such as are caused by coughs
and colds. on the membrane lining the
air passage. these germs attach them
selves to these spots, receive nourish-
ment from them and multiply with
astonishing rapidly.
The old theory that germs of these
diseases are carried by the blood to
the different parts of the body has long
since been exploded. The germs them
selves remain in the head and lungs
and 1t is the product of their digestion
"a poison called toxine) that finds its
way into the circulation, causing
coughs, emaciation, fever and weak
ness, these being symptoms of and
not the disease itself.
Up to the present time there is only
one permanent cure for these diseases
known, and according to Government
statistics this treatment has reduced
the death rate from catarrh and con-
sumption IS per cent. yearly since it's
discovery. Such authority as this can
not be disputed and no person affected
with these diseases has any right or
excuse to jeopardize their lives by using
other remedies.

RAISED MUCH MONEY.
Virginia MethOdists Make Good FL
nanciaI Showing.


Newport News, Va, Nov. 19.-To-
days features in the Virginia Metho-
dist Episcopal conference were the re-
port of the Board of Education and the
election of Rev. j. P. Garland as sixth
and last clerical delegate to~the gen.
eral conference.
Rev. ]. C. Hank presented to the
conference as an applicant for admis-
sion on trial, the name of Rev. B. c.
Beahm, an ordained elder in the Bap-
ttst Church. Mr.. Beahm was admitted.
Rev. E. T. Dadmun reported for the
Epworth League, 1889 chapters and
120,2S6 members.
The next biennial convention will be
held in Danville.
The most interesting feature of the
morning session was the report of the
Board OF Education, DIR. A. C. Smith,
chairman. DR.. Smith stated the can
vass for the Twentieth Century Fund
closed with this conference, that
SSS.000 in cash and. subscriptions
had been received in all, $37, 900 during
the first years canvass, $39, 900 during
the second year, and $4,000 during the
third. and he hoped that even though
the canvass was formally closed, the
amount would yet be raised to 500, O0O
In referring to the last years work DR..
Smith stated that the $4,000 was the
result of the efforts of DR.. w. G. Starr
who was alone in the field, having been
associated with another in the previous
year, when the larger sum was raised.

Washington. Nov. 19.-The trial of
Mrs. Lola Ida BONNIE on indictment
for the murder of the young census
clerk, James S. Ayres, Jr., in the lat
ter's room at Kenmore Hotel in this
city last May, began to-day before
Justice Anderson in Criminal Court No
|. The case was set for 10 o'clock, but
it was several minutes afterwards be-
fore either the judge or the prisoner
appeared in the courtroom. At the
first session the courtroom, even
though of limited capacity. was by no
means crowded. Mr.. BONNIE and Mrs.
Meacham, husband and sister of the
accused. were. early occupants of the
seats reserved for Mrs. Bonine's
especial friends, as were the five attor-
neys engaged for the defense. At 1910
o'clock Mrs. Bonine appeared in rhe
courtroom, accompanied by the veteran
guard. james w. Springman. She
walked so quietly that her entrance
was scarcely noted, and took seat
beside her husband just back of her
counsel and in front Of her sister. She
smiled as she greeted her sister and
the latter placed her arms gently
around her as she sank into her seat.
After the preliminaries of calling the
names of witnesses and of jurors were
disposed of Mrs. BONNIE was asked to
stand and plead to the indictment. She
listened calmly to the reading of the
document and when 1t was concluded,
pleaded mot guilty" in low but dis
tinct tones.
After a brief statement of the case
by Judge Anderson the examination Of
Jurors was begun and when the court,
at 1850 adjourned for the day, the PAN
Ell was exhausted. There were twenty
six members of the panel. and of these
fourteen were excused, leaving twelve
in the box. OF the fourteen jurors who
were excused three were relieved by
the court on account of i'll health, sew
en- upon challenges by the defense, and
| four upon challenges by the district at
| torney. All of the governments chal-
| lerges We're made because of state
ments on the part of the witnesses that
they had conscientious scruples against
capital punishment. Most of the chal-
lenges on bahalf of the prisoner were
on account of statements by the ju-
rors that they had formed opinions in
the case. In four or five instances
they stated that their views could not
be changed by new testimony.
Mrs. BONNIE was apparently as calm
as any OF the spectators during the
proceedings. She spoke frequently with
her husband and sister and only once
or twice with her attorneys. During
part Of the day her two boys, respec-
lively 10 and Is years of age, were in
the courtroom. After adjournment she
took dinner with her friends in the
prisoners room in the courthouse, be-
ing closely attended all the time by
her guard. She was then returned to
Jail. The trial will be resumed to-mor-
row.

Union of the Two Branches.
Pittsburg, Nov. 1.-THE annual
meeting of the General Missionary
Committee of the Methodist Episcopal
Church adjourned finally this evening
to meet in Albany, N. Y, next year.
The delegates have been diligent dur
ing the sessions, and much valuable
work was accomplished About fifty
members were present at to-day's
meeting.
DR.. Goucher's appeal for $4,000 for
the purpose of joining with the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, in es-
tablishing publishing house at Shang-
hal, was granted. The appeal was
thoroughly discussed before passing
Bishop Fowler opposed the PROPOSE
ton. He said union would bring ever
lasting trouble. and contended that
among 400,00O.000 Chinese there was
room for competition.
Gen. Rushing. a veteran Of the Civil
War, aroused the committee by his Wig
orous talk.
II want to see this union with the
South" he said. IT fought the South
for four years, but I quit at Appom-
mattox and ] want to see the two
churches get together and make one

BRITAlNS SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Children of Poor in DANGER.

Children of Poor in Danger.
New York. Nov. 1s.-Prof. Foulkner
Stuart of the British governments de-
partment of education is in the city to-
day from Canada. He arrived in Can
ada about month ago from England
to inspect thoroughly that country's
public school system. From here he
will go to Atlanta, Charleston, New
Orleans and a few OF the principal
other Southern cities, after which he
will return home.
Prof. Stuart said to-day:
The people of Canada enjoy excel
lent public school facilities. but a
great many of the instructors, male
and female, found to be highly in
competent. Time. however, will no
doubt greatly improve this deficiency.
Prof. Stuart said the school board
system of educating the poor in Great
Britain is in danger of being abol-
ished by the present government.
After many pretenses," he said, "the
government has admitted that it's one
desire in matters educational Is to de-
stroy this system, which is the only
opportunity open to the children of the
poor of gaining a free education. Why
the school boards should pass away
has not been sufficiently explained.
They have served a most useful pur-
pose in the cause of education in large
towns. They have not proved SO sue
cessful in rural districts, however, and
this is partly because they have been
opposed by the parson and the

The speaker spoke of reciprocity

twentieth century Monroe doctrine. and
denned their principle to be that trade

OF duty, or at low rate, unless that
country take something from US free
OF duty or at low rate.
What we need in this country to-
day., said the senator, lis non-partisan
patriotism and craftsmanship, more de-
voted to the building UP of our common
country than to party success. Great
national issues, involving the glory of
our republic and its triumphant sue
cess, as a free constitutional govern
ment should not be dwarfed into Sec
tional and partisan questions. Let us
stand shoulder to shoulder. good Amer
leans, no matter what our politices or
what our section
In conclusion Senator McLaurin said
"All signs indicate that our modern
civilization is approaching one of those
momentous crises that occur Deriodi-
cally in the history of the human race.

are at work. 1t seems as if all proph-
eey pointed to America as the final
battle-ground between error and truth,
and it may be that we are near that
field of Armmageddon dimly seen by
poet and painter, where the brute ma
ture of man and his immortal soul
join in the great battle, which the Good
Book tells us shall precede the dawn
of that era of peace on earth and good
will toward men,"
The Question of the Trusts.
Gov.-elect Albert B. Cummins of
Iowa.. followed Senator McLaurin. Mr..
Cummins said there is a feeling in this
country that industrial combinations
are tending to drift toward, monopolies.
Not word could be said, he declared
monopoly was quite different thing
from industrial combinations. He said
there are two forces to regulate prices
--one competition and the other regula-
ton by law.
II know" said Mr.. Cummins, that
the people of this country will not
stand for industrial monopoly any
more than they would for monarchi-
cal form of government. If we wish
to preserve the manhood of our citi-
zcnship the time will come when it will
be necessary to nationalize the ques-
tons which are now agitating the pub
lie mind in this particular domain"
The last speaker of the evening was
the Rev. DIR. Donald S. Mckay, who
responded to the toast 1.-The Higher
Ideal of Civic Righteousness"
