MARVELLOUS CAREER OF
 LATE RUDOLPH VIRCHOW
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 Rudolf Virchow, great as pathologist, companion of Helmholtz and originator of the famous doctrine-of "cellular path ology'-that cancer, tuners and other unnatural formations are perverted mod ifications of natural tissues and not ex- traneous growths, was born in the vil- lage of Schievelheim, Pomerania, in 1921, where his father was a merchant.
 After finishing a course at a gymna- sium he began the study of medicine in the University of Berlin. where. with the exception of his sojourn in Wuerzburg, he had ever since remained. The limited fortune of his family induced him to se- cure free instruction upon condition of serving the state few years after grad uation.
 In 1s43 Virchow became an assistant physician In the Charite, the public hos pital of Berlin There his remarkable talents soon manifested themselves and in 1s46 he succeeded Dr. Froriep, fa- nous anatomist, as chief of the institu- tion.
 1 Although only 24 years old Virchow had already outlined the path of scienti- | fic investigation which he was to follow He chose pathological anatomy and Phy- siology and Clinical Medicine. which is still one of the most successful and wide iy quoted journals in the world In the same year he published his criticism of the pathological-anato views of Dr. Rokitansky. a noted Viennese, at the time the mighty pillar of the medical profession. The essay made him famous and the founder. in a certain sense, of new medical school.
 In 1S47 he became a professor in the University of Berlin. Two years later he was sent by the government to study the causes of the epidemic of fever in the 1 province of Silesia. His report was mas l terful
 i He did not confine himself to the med- | ical aspects of his mission. Prussia at that time had no constitution; the revo- lution of 1s4S had not yet brought the blessings of liberty. But the fearless young savant did not hesitate to att tribute the ravages of the disease to the maladministration of the disease to the many sins of omission at the door of the King of Prussia.
 The journey introduced him to politics and laid the foundation for the brilliant parliamentary career in which he cham pioned the cause of the people. His opps- sition to the government during 1s4S and 1S49 cost him his place at the university, but it gave him his wife. Threatened with exile from Berlin, he gladly accepted the call as professor of anatomy at Wurz- burg. In the same year Virchow mar ried.
 He remained for seven years in Wurz- burg during which he began his most | celbrated work. Cellular Pathology" published in 1858. which has made his name immortal in the annals of science | and medicine. There he also began 'The Handbook of Special Pathology and | Therapeutics" which helped to insure | his renown. He instituted his Annual Reports of Advances in Medicine Throughout the World. A-- When the government decided to found
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-09-09

the Pathological institute in 1856 Virchow had become so famous that the Raumer ministry determined to put him at it's head. He was recalled to Berlin, which seven years before he had been compelled to leave. The triumph was fattering.
 In 1857 he published his first work on anthropology. It was Investigations Up- on the Development of the Cranium." He founded, too, the Society of Anthropology and long acted as it's president. In prose- cutting his investigations he travelled over the greater part of the world and measured thousands and thousands of heads. He established the measurements for comparative anthropology and col lected race data such as no other man ever did. Professor Virchow induced the governments of Europe to present statis- tical reports regarding the color of the hair and eyes of their school children.
 His successes were endless. His studies in anthropology led him to the study of archaeology. He became the friend and defender of Schliemann. The discoveries at Troy are due almost as much to his Knowledge and encouragement as to the great explorer himself. At Schliemann's death Erust Curtius pronounced Virchow the only living man able to complete his undertakings. His work was vast and varied.
 Professor Virchow entered parliament in 1859 and cast his lot, as was natural to expect, with the liberals. Bismarck had no opponent whom he so feared throughout his career as yirchow. Year after year he championed/ the right of the house to control the budget None held the privileges of the representatives of the people so dear. So bitter, indeed, became the differences between himself and the famous chancellor that they ended in a challenge to a duel. But this duel, owing to the mediation of friends was never fought.
 Ever since Professor virchow had been member of the Berlin administration. and since 1881 member of the reichstag. He was not a brilliant speaker although 1t was he who introduced the term 'Kul- turkampf" meaning the battle of culture, in his discussion with Bismarck and the pope.
 He had supervised the work of erecting many hospitals and organized the first
 
 sian war. Among other things, he showed the drawbacks to Brown-Sequards fa- nous "elixir of life" His lectures and tributes to Thomas Huxley. when he vis- ited England in 1898. endeared him to the English-speaking people.
 Almost every year up to 1890 some great work appeared from his prolific pen. His "Swellings," Theory of Trichinae," Goethe as a Naturalist" collection of Popular Scientific Lectures" and Con- corning the National Development and Significance of the National Sciences have all been epoch-making. As distin- guished critic said, it is difficult to say whether virchow is greatest as physi- elan, anthropologist, archaeologist hy- gienist politician, organized, teacher. au- thor or editor.
 Last October Professor Virchows S0th birthday was observed by medical men throughout the world. In Berlin there was series of fetes.

A FINE "scRAPPER."

Washington Correspondence in Brooklyn
 Eagle.
 In referring to the work performed by who was killed in the accident at Lenox, Chief Wilkie said today: Craig had had little experience in important cases re- quiring individual work, but before he was transferred to Washington he had been used a good deal in affairs where our men were ligely to encounter serious difficulty. His magnificent physique, skill as boxer and courage made him in- valuable in a case where there was a probability of a hand-to-hand battle. Craig was in Chicago and Plttsourg for l three or four years, and was frequently assigned to running down counterfeit CTS. Whenever our men spotted a gang and q i raid was to be made for the purpose of making a capture, Craig was always sent for. With him In the party the rest of the secret service men felt sure that no matter how fierce the fighting might be, their side would come out victorious. Craig could easily handle a couple of men in a general melee.'
 The deceased secret service man re- lieved George Foster after the assassina- tion of President Mckinley. It will be remembered that Foster and a man named Ireland were the guard of Pres- 1 dent Mckinley at the time of his assas- sinaton in Buffalo. Ireland was later dropped from the service and Foster was transferred from duty at the White House to desk work at the secret service headquarters, in the treasury depart ment. None of the officials claimed that Foster could have prevented the shoot ing of the President. but it was thought best to change his work and put a more active man in his place. Craig was quiet almost to the point of being surly, but he was faithful and thoroughly efficient officer,

 Alabama is perh~ps holding it's own as the fourth milling state in the south, but there is no good reason why any one of the sixty-six counties in this state should be without a cotton mill. As matter of fact, the fifty. eight mills of the state are located in about thirty counties, leaving over half of the counties spindleless.
 If every county in Alabama would make an effort to build a mill on the cooperative plan, as the Talladega people did, or else would take steps to procure the help of outside capital. the number of mills in this state could readily be doubled, and instead of spinning one-sixth of the home crop we could spin one-third of it, thus giv- ing employment to thousands that now lack it and aiding powerfully in the prosperity of the state. There Is no reason why the two Carolinas and Georgia should so largely outdo us in this respect. If the TalIadega spirit could be extended to each county. they would not long have the lead they hold at present. They have more Tal- ladegas than we have.

Col Henry B. Foster of Tuscaloosa was in Birmingham yesterday en route to Blount Springs. where he goes hoping to recuperate his failing health.
 Colonel Foster is one of the most popu- lar men, socially and politically, in Tus- caloosa. His rundown physical condl- ton is largely due to his activity in the recent state campaign, and how well he managed the campaign in his home eoun- ty for Governor Jelks is best told by the count of the ballots.

SINGS DR.. HIRST'S FAVORlTE
His Choir Remembers Request Made Long
Before Death.
SERMON IS OMITTED OUT OF RESPECT
First Methodist Congregation Prefers
TO Listen TO Music and to Rev.
swans TO De-
parted Pastor.

There was no preaching at the First
Methodist church Sunday morning, the on
cial board deeming It a more fitting trib-
ute to the late pastor, DR.. A. G. Hirst,
10 nit the sermon. The choir rendered
an appropriate musical service, however,
and Rev. J. w. Swan, formerly of Wy
more. spoke a few words commemorative
OF the life and works Of the deceased. He
will act as. supply in the First Methodist
pulpit during the summer months.
"a hero has fallen" said Rev. MT.
Swan. HE has gone from his labor to
his reward. While the church here Sc
verely feels the loss, that is merely the
selfish side. since the doctor has gone to
claim his rewards for a life filled with
noble works, to be crowned by the King
Of Kings. His labors are done, but his
works remain to live among you"
A singularly appropriate number in the
musical program was the choral invoca-
ton. "oh, Lamb Of God" from the COM
munion service, arranged by Thomas J..
Kelly. The last time this was sung in
the church previous to Sunday morning
DR.. Hirst requested that it be sung at
his funeral, and It happened that 1t was
never sung again until finally rendered
in compliance with the pastors request.
Another notable number was the pro-
cessional hymn, "Oh, Paradise!" sung by
the vested choir while marching from the
tower room down the aisle to the loft.
other numbers were the anthem, mo
Shadows Yonder," as a tenor solo by Mr..
MeCreary; the anthem, Crossing the
Bar and the funeral march as an organ

Not even excepting the Fourth Of July
did the attendance exceed that of yester-
day at Krug park. Especially in the even
ing was the crush great, and with all the
extra cars available it taxed the street
railway company heavily to meet the emer-
gency. Prof. s. M. Heller, the aeronaut,
made a balloon ascension and parachute
leap. After the aeronaut cut loose Is when
the fun of the sight of a runaway balloon
commenced. The attendant forgot to at
tach a top weight for the overturning and
emptying Of the balloon, and as a result
the big airshfp continued on its course to
the north and at a late hour last night
no word had been heard Of II.
Two concerts by Huster's band were
among the enjoyable features. Enthusias-
tic applause rewarded many numbers, to
which response with encores were made.

MORALITY NOT L OF RELIGION.
Rev. Herring Tells Congregation of
other Essentials.

Rev. Herring Tells Congregation of
other Essential.
"Sinc Christianity lays great stress upon
morality and is. pre-eminently the ethical
religion it is, perhaps. not remarkable that
some think morality is the whole Of Chris
tianity, yet such is not the case" said
Rev. II. c.. Herring in his Sunday morning
sermon at First Congregational church.
1T is important" he said, ito realize
that being a Christian involves leading both
a moral and a religious life. This morning
let me accent the religious life. It is the
soul looking upward into the unseen and
fixing its affection there. 1t is not Of the
world Of sense, but or the world of spirit;
II has to do with the Invisible rather than
the visible. This makes possible all man.
ner Of perverslons, but Christianity comes
to teach us how we may make intelligent
and comprehensive our relation to that
invisible world.
christianity first gives US faith in two
great essentials-God and the human soul.
Except he be literally driven down by ap.
petite, | do not believe than any man who
believes he has a soul is going to ship
wreck himself, and faith in the possession
Of a soul must be parallel with faith in the
existence Of God.
The religious life demands Of us certain
expression. You put force nywhere and
1t makes itself felt. Man is never so sub
lime as when worshiping God and il we
be really religious we will be able to say
SO. II we have no religion to speak Of, per-
haps we indeed have no religion to speak
OF. You are going s~quarely in the face
of Jesus teaching and Jesus example il
you concede that you are never called on
to say anything about the theme Of the
spirit.
This religious life calls also for a dis
cipline. 1t will never come easily. q am
talking now OF reverence and devotion.)
We must put ourselves in school, as it
were. Force yourself to pray and the God
you believe in will bless your prayer
whether your heart be dry or full of
emotion"
