"a new argument has been advanced

IA new argument has been advanced
against card playing" said a promi-
nent physician, half jokingly, recently.
The warning used to be: .Don't play
cards. They are the emissaries CT the
devil That was the old p%uritanieal
point of view. The new warning is:
Don't play cards. They are dangerous
to the health This is the new warn
ing of the advanced bacteriolog.st. Per
haps both warnings are the vagaries of
alarmists. 1t is a fact, however, that
some physicians are really advancing
the theory that playing cards breed
germs. This seems to be based upon
the belief that germs may be commu-
nicated through the habit that a great,
many people have Of moistening the
fingers with the lips in order to more
readily deal the cards. OF course, this
seems to be very far fetched when you
consider the i%nnurnerable other ways in
which disease germs may be trans
.mitted; butt 1t is at least ingenious. and
The medical journals are taking 1t up"

FIVE MILLIONS FOR ST. LOUIS.

Exposition I3ia Passes tho House After
short cbate.
Washington. Teb. 20.-This was sus-
pension day in the house. The local
committee from st. Louis, which is
here pushing the st. Louis Exposition
bill, was in the gallery in anticipation
of action upon the bill. A delegation
from the w. @. 7. u. Interested in hay-
ing the bill amended so as to provide
for closing the exposition on Sunday
and to prohibit the sale of liquors on
the grounds was also in the gallery to
watch the fight.
Immediately after the reading OF the
journal, Mrs. 5Tawney of Minnesota,
chairman OF the special committee on.
the Louisiana purchase exposition,
moved passage under suspension of the
rules of the bill appropriating 5000, 900
for the exposition. Twenty minutes
debate was allowed upon a side. Mr.,
Tawney 3dilated upon the greatand over
shadowing Importance of the even,
which this proposed exposition was to
celebrate, calling attention to the fact
that of all the eXpositions held in the
country congress had authorized but
two-the centennial celebration at Phil
adelphia and the eXposition5at Chicago
to comnlerate the 400th anniyer-5
sary of thee discovery of Am
erica. Congress, he said, had only
provided for lis own exhibit at other
expositions. The magnitude of the.
event to be celebrated at s5St.@Louis
made 1t proper that congress- Should
authorize 1t.
Mr. Maddox. of Georgia, opposed the
bill. He said there were to be noSpub-
lie buildings authorized by this con
gress on account of the growth of eX-
p%enditures. The $1,000, 600 which con-
gress would give to private enterprise
by this bill, he said. would build fifty
necessary public buildings He was
anxious tofsee where Watch Dog Of
the Treasury" Cannon stood upon this
bill.
Mr.. Sims, OF Tennessee, who followed
Maddox, tainted Cannon with fighting
honest claims of a few hundred dollars
and then remaining uliiescent when
such a bill as the pending n was be-
fore the house.
Mr. Cannon said he had consistently
and persistently opposed such legIsla-
ton. He agreed that exposition a
ters had run wild. But this bill was
now upon n footing where 1t could not
be dfsregarded. He had oppose the
passage of the sundry civil bill at the
last session. 1t had been placed upon
the table by Senator CockrelI,t a demo-
crat, in the senate. He. had opposed IL
with voice and vote. but 1t had become;
a law. st. Louis had complied with Its
part of the contract and the govern
ment was Obliged to comply also. He
should therefore vote for the pending
bill.
The bill passed, ly1Sto Al. The result
was received with applause.
