EDITORIAL COMMENT

A Wilmington paper has made a
disgusting attempt to prejudice the citi-
zens OF that city against an editoi OF
another paper because he did not hap
pen to be born in Wilmington. This
is. about the most Iabid editorial that
paper has contained in many a day. It
supports Addicks. and has nothing to
say about its political boss not being
born I'm our State. OF course. not The
editor who gavet offense because nc is
not a native Wilmingtonian is fighting
Addicks and fighting him hard. That
Is where the shoe pinches-Smyrna

The Sampson-schley controversy is
apparently one OF those things that
viii not down or stay down. Accord
ing to dispatches from Washington the
subject is TO be reviewed before the
next Congress. The American public
we believe would be content to let the
Santiago episode take its chances In

NO RELIEF In SIGHT
FOR SCORCHTNG WEST

st. Louis, July 25.-St. Louis was
the record-breakig city yesterday,
1071a degrees being recorded as the
maximum temperature. Throughout
the day people dropped on the side
walks in all parts Of the city and
horses in the streets fell to the pave
ment. unable to move. The city's IA
cilities for handling the heat cases
proved inadequate, and the health de-

Washington. July 25.-Scattered
thunderstorms in the northern tier Of
states in the central west yesterday
gave some relief in that locality from
the intense heat. Their effect, however.
will be temporary, and warm weather
is again predicted for Friday. In the
great corn belt ,he intense heat still
continues, and there seems to be no
immediate prospect Of a general rain,
though the fact that showers are be-
coming more general than for some
days is encouraging.

BISHOP COLEMAN
DEPENDS Y. NJ. C. A.
DOWie and MrS. Eddy Having
Their Day, Like ALL
ImpOStOrS

Bishop Coleman comes far from
agreeing with the Rev. Russell H. Con-
well, of Philadelphia, who has been de-
livering a series of lectures at Winona
Park Indianapolis, who startled the
ministers in his audience yesterday by
his reference to the want of consecra-
ton on the part of church mem bers and
what good they miss because Of it. lie
pointed to the Chautauqua work. the
Young Mems Christian Association and
the hospitals as flaming ADVERTISE
ments OF the inefficiency OF the
church" and dwelt at length upon their
work as being such as the church
should do. He referred to the work
of Dowie and Mrs. Eddy in terms CT
praise and recognized its genuineness.
Though he did not express an opinion
on their methods, he declared that
they are doing a work OF healing the
sick and meeting the wants of the
distress that the church should be do
ing. and said that the church as an
institution is doing only one-third OF
its duty to-day
In conversation with a reporter for
the Evening Journal this morning,
Bishop Coleman said:
ne career OF the persons named is
but repetition of what has been going
on ever since the advent of Christ.
There is absolutely nothing new as to
either one of these persons. They will
have their day. as other impostors
have had theirs.
"The only wonder is that, with all
the accumulated knowledge and ex-
perience at their command, any sensi-
bic and intelligent people can for a mo-
ment be led away by such blind lead
srs Of the blind. In the meanwhile, it
behooves the church and all her mem
bers so to meaintain the principles and
practice Of their Divine Head. as to
make it more and more impossible for
the world to mistake anything else for
the truth, as it is in Jesus, and to resort
to any self-created centres Of wisdom
and miracles"

Picnic Days

Under the spreading chestnut tree
The well-flled baskets stand;
Containing chicken, pies and things
The work of Bridget's hand,
And way off in the distance there's
A blaring country band.
Dick battles with humble bee,
And Bob with youthful zest,
Fails from the lofty chestnut tree,
And papa and the rest
Proceed to eat the lunch upon
A yellow-jacket's nest!
The gentle rainstorm rolls around,
And when the day is late
They homoward wend their weary
ways
And turn inside the gate,
And lie in bed and wonder just
How many ants they ate.
From the Indianapolis sun.

TUBERCULOSIS

For centuries one of the most dread
ed diseases of the human race, and one
that has been responsible for a great
percentage Of the death rate OF every
people, has been consumption. 1t has
baffled theskillofph physicians, and science
has INDUCED in numerous guesses,
but definite knowledge has been slow
in coming
DR.. Robrt Koch, the great German
physician, whose discoveries have al
ready laid the race under obligation,
has just read a paper before the Inter
national Tuberculosis Congress, which
is probably destined to disprove some
faIaoics, and to confne diagnosis and
treatment within proper bounds.
lie claims that 70 is impossible for
human beings to take the disease from
cattle through dairy products; that the
bacilli are very different, and that
while he has provedthat the bovine dis
ease cannot be transmitted to man,
the counter proposition is probably
true, that the bacilli OF the human dis
ease cannot innoculate cattle. These
conclusions are not given as a guess
but as the result of scientific investiga-
ton, and this knowledge will be a re-
lief 10 thousands who have been living
in the fear of innoculation from the
products OF the dairy.
Dr Koch, also states as his opinion
that tuberculosis cannot be inherited
but only a predisposition, and that il
probably results from contagion
He thinks the disease is transmitted
only through the sputum Of these az
iiicted with the disease. He believes
that in time It may be stamped cu., anC
the race freed from one Of its dreat
enemies.
If these ideas should prove to be cor
rect. the work Of physicians and health
authorities will be greatly simpiihed. 1
Is another illustration of the tendency
of modern medical practice Formerl,
the physician worked upon the thcor.
that he had little TO do with the sprea'
Of disease, his duties being confined Z

it had been contracted But the mod
crn practitioner must be a scientist
whose efforts are employed to proven

Reading, Pa, July 25.-The Phila-
delphia and Reading men on strike,
blacksmiths, boilermakers, machinists
and others, had big parade last night
which was followed by a meeting in
the Opera House. It was announced
that every man was solid to continue
the strike. The railway officials claim
that the shops are not as badly crippled
as the strikers allege.
The maohinists who remained on
duty since last week have decided not
to strike for the present BY direc-
tion of Vice President Voorhees, no
tioes have been posted in the shops
where there is a strike. that the men
can ascertain their rate of pay by
applying to the foremen. Ten hours,

and quarter time allowed for overtime,

POLICE WILL NOT GUARD
STEEL COMPANY'S MILLS

McKcesport, Pa. July 25.-Mayor
Robert ]. Black last evening made an
announcement for the benefit of the
United States Steel Corporation, the
strikers in the city and the public gen
orally He says he will not permit the
police of McKeesport to guard the
mills Of the steel company; he will not
permit the importation of laborers to
operate the mills if, in his opinion, It
will cause strife, and will not permit
the use of deputy sheriffs or other

he is satisfied that the police of Nc

\ McKeesport (Pa) councilman has
resigned, giving as his reason that no
Christian could hold the position and
save his soul. There was no difficulty,
however. in eleoting another Christian
in his stead who declares that his
duties are so in keeping with his relig-
ion that he will be a candidate for an
ether term. II men insist upon being
cOuncilmen and Christians at the same
time there will be trouble. No one is
expected to fiji two positions, to serve
two masters, or to perform antagonis-
tic duties at the same time. The coun-
Gilman who retired was right; he could
be a Christian or a councilman, but he
found he couldn't be both at once. He
might have resigned his church connec-
ton instead, and resumed his sacred
relations at the expiration Of his coun-
cilmanic term, but, perhaps his course
was best ... u.

TREES AND RAIN

John p. Brown, secretary Of the In
ternational Society Of Arboriculture,
says;
From my investigation OF climatic
conditions in the West and South, |
have no hesitation in saying that the
prevailing drought in the corn and
wheat belts is directly due to the
wholesale clearing away Of the forests.
] have noticed that the districts affect
ed were in nearly all cases those which
have been practically denuded OF trees
In the South. where the woOdman's
axe has worked less havoc, the crops
are in 6rst-class condition.
The idea expressed in the above
statement while not novel. yet brings
forcibly to the attention OF the Ameri-
can people the necessity for the preser-
vation OF our forests. IL to denude the
land of trees in order that there may
be an increased acreage Of farm lands,
results in terrible droughts which
make the raising OF crops precarious.
then the time has come for the exercise
Of a little wisdom. In many sections
there has been a wanton waste Of tim
Der In great areas, the finest trees
have been used for lumber, and the
forest then set on fire and immense
tracts denuded
In our own State there has been q
woeful lack Of intelligence in the mat
ter of forestry. When opportunity or
necessity requires the forests are clear
ed and oftentlmes there is left many
acres OF idle and unproductive land. On
almost every farm there arc spaces
where trees might be planted without
any detriment to agriculture, and in
our towns there ought be trees on every
property.
A suggestion was made several
years since that the State road, from
end to end, be set with trees thus MAX
ing the drive more attractive. And II
the matter were carried into general ac-
ceptance. there is little doubt that q
marked change in climate would re-
suit There is no reason why every
county road and lane should not be
similarly treated. We are informed by
the authority above quoted that the
supply of suitable timber for railroad
ties is far less than the probable de
mand. The use of metals for this work
has not proved a success, and the price
is increasing every year. White oak
for this purpose has been practically
abandoned for the reason that that
timber is not to be had. The b. & o.
is using yellow pine, Notwithstanding
that the resin0us qualities of that tim
ber make it subject to destruction by
FIRE Some of the roads are planting
trees along their routes to supply ties
IL is becoming apparent that there
must be greater efforts. not only to
protect our timber. but to increase its
extent Il will pay for the care, as
prices are gradually rising. And, be-
sides. it has been demonstrated that
climatic conditions depend upon
proper treatment OF the matter II

there were immense quantities o
