ALLIGATORS AND SNAKES.
Extinction of the Animals Threatened
by Demand for Hides.

From the New York Evening Post
A new fashion in a modern city may
mean the defamation or even extinction Of
an entire species of the lower animals The
craze for alligator skins during the past
twelve years came very nearly making that
hideous reptile as dead as the dodo. When

within ten miles Of pool or bayou was out
after 'gater' from dawn to dusky eve.
They killed so many that the market was
flooded after a time and then the price be-
gan to fall. It has gone down steadily, and
the latest advices from the Louisiana ba-
yOus and the Florida swamps give fifty
cents for the raw hide of sauran of more
than ten feet in length. and only twenty
five for a chicken ''gater" This hardly
pays for their killing, and the supply is
running down in consequence. The ailiga-
tor has now chance for his life and in
many districts is increasing In numbers
perceptibly.
On the other hand. the snake family Is
experiencing great hardship. \ dealer in
fine snake skins said: There s steady
demand for the more beautiful kinds Which
we are never quite able to fill. Some varie-
ties are so popular that they bring dicu-

ENGINEERS EXCLUDE NEGROES.
National Association Votes Not to
Grant Them Fellowship.

special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Boston yesterday says: Whether negro
engineers may become members of the Ma
tional Associa ton of Stationary Engineers
or not was decided at yesterday afternoons
session, after one of the liveliest debates
ever known in the history Of the associa-
ton.
The question was decided almost unani-
mously against the negro, but not until the
delegates from the south had clearly de-
fined his status in their territory and not
until after the delegates from the north
especially those from Massachusetts, had
expressed themselves in a vehement man
ner.
This was the first business to come up in
the afternoon. Mr.. Grant of New Orleans
started the ball rolling when he wished to
have the word white" placed in front of
the word "engineers' In one Of the articles
Of the constitution.
Mr.. Grant in a speech gave reasons why
the negro should not be admitted into the
association He said that the business men
in the south look upon the engineers as
ISOLATION of standing, and should
the negro be allowed the social equality
which he does not deserve the association
would be ruined in the south and the
southern branches would drop out. This
is the white mans country; Africa is where
the negro belongs he said.
These remarks pleased the convention
for Mr.. Grant was loudly appauded. Mr.
Gutenberg of Wisconsin upheld the negro
saying the men of the north fought for his
freedom, and now they refuse to give him
an equal share in the worlds favors. He
said that II he voted to shut out the negro
he would be ashamed to look into the face
OF Grand Army soldier.
Mr.. Rabbit of Worcester declared he knew
OF several cOlored engineers who were
worthy Of all respect that could be shown
| them, and that he would stand for the col
ored man at all times
BY this time the proceedings were grow
Ing warm, and the excitement became in
tense when Mr. Howard of Massachusetts
worked the delegates up to such a pitch
that he was Missed for at least full min
ute, and cries of Put him out!' were
heard all over the convention floor
The speaker, after exalting the negro
said:
why, there are men in this room whom
1 would rather discard than the negro'
Mr.. Howard was called to order by the
president. who with some trouble finally
quieted the excited members. Then there
were loud calls for the question and when
President Jacques called for rising vote
| 1t was almost unanimous.
Only the few delegates who had snoken
| against the amendment did not vote. WThen
| the decision against the negro was an
nounced there was loud cheering.

Gated in the Masonic Fraternity Temple AS
ISOLATION taX-fiXing scandal, which has
taken up the time Of a special grand jury
an week, and which county officials be-
lieve will result in unearthing a conspiracy
to mulct the county out of hundreds of
thousands of dollars of taxes annually The

G. Walsh gave testimony before the grand
jury to the effect that the Temple Associa-
ton wished to issue several hundred thou
sand dollars worth of new bonds to i'm

cause the building had been sold once be-
fore for taxes the trust companies would
not float the bonus unless the property
was free from liens. 1t was alleged that
brides were offered to county employees to
make the forged entry, and that Luke
Wheeler was the go-between. Wheeler at
present Is missing. Captain Williams was
arrested last Saturday, and gave bonds for
S., 900 for his appearance. The grand jury
in connection with the Masonic Temple case
has investigated number of alleged forged
notes put out by Wheeler, purporting to

said he received the notes for taking care
of property interests before the state board
OF equalization when that body made tax
assessments.

DEATH OF DIR. VIRCHOW
WoRLD-FAMoUs MEDICAL DIS
CoVERER EXPIRES IN BERLIN.
He Was a Physician, Hygienist, An
thropologist, Arch@ologist, Teacher,
Author and Politician.

BERLIN, September 6-The magistrates
decided today to accord the remains of
Professor Virchow, the famous scientist,
who died here yesterday, a public funeral
The professor was an honorary citizen of
Berlin. The funeral procession will start
from the town hall at IL am, September o.
The expenses of the funeral will be borne
by the municipality.
Prof. Rudolf Virchow, the famous scien-
fist, died in Berlin yesterday.
Rudolf Virchow, great as a pathologist,
the famous doctrine-of cellular pathol-
ogy'-that cancer tumors and other I'M
natural formations are perverted modifica
tions of natural tissues and not extraneous
growths, was born in the village of Schiev-
elheim, Pomerania, in 1921, where his father
was a merchant
After finishing a course at gymnasium
he began the study of medicine in the Uni
versity of Berlin, where, with the exception
of his sojOurn in Wuerzburg, he had ever
since remained. The limited fortune CT his
family induced him to secure free instruc-
ton upon condition of serving the state Il
few years after graduation.
In 1S43 Virchow became an assistant ply
sician in the Charlie, the public hospital of
Berlin. There his remarkable talents soon
manifested themselves, and in 1916 he sue
ceeded DIR. Froriep, famous anatomist,
chief of the institution.

Chose His Work at Early Age.

Chose His Work at Early Age.
Although only twenty-four years old Vir-
chow had already outlined the path of SCI
entific investigation which he was to fol-
low. He chose pathological anatomy as his
speciality. In 1915, with Benno Reichhardt,
he founded Archives for Pathological Anat-
omy and Physiology and Clinical Medicine,
which is still of the most successful
and widely quoted journals in the world.
In the same year he published his criticism
of the Observation-Disclosures 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 a new medi-
cal school.
In 1S47 he became professor in the Uni
versity Of Berlin. Two years later he was
sent by the government to study the causes
of the epidemic of fever in the province Of
Sesia.
The fearless young savant did not hest
tate to attribute the ravages of the disease
to the maladministration of the province or
to lay 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 oppo-
sitiOn to the government during 1S4S and
1S49 cost him his place al the university.
Threatened with exile from Berlin, he
gladly accepted the call as professor Of
Virchow married.
He remained for seven years in Wuerz-
burg. during which he began his most ceie-
brated work. Cellular Pathology" pub
lished in 1853, which has made his name
immortal in the annals of scieice and medi-
cine. There he also began 1.-The Handbook
of Special Pathology and Therapeutics,
which helped to insure his renONn. He in
sttuted his annual Reports Of Advances
in Medicine Throughout the World"
In 1857 he published his first work on
anthropology. 1t was investigations Upon
the Development of the Uranium" He
founded. too. the Society of Anrhropology
and long acted its president.
His successes were endless. His studies
in anthropology led him to the study of
archaeology. He became the friend and
defender of schlemann.
Opponent of Bismarck.
Professor Virchow entered parliament In
pect, with the liberals. Bismarck had no
opponent whom he so feared throughout his
career as Virchow. Year after year he
championed the right of the House to con-
troll 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 n duel.
But the duel. owing to the mediation Of
friends, was never fought.
Ever since Professor Virchow had been
a member of the Berlin administration, and
since 1881 member Of the reichstag He
was not a brilliant speaker, although It
was he who introduced the term .kultur-
kampf," meaning the battle for culture, In
his dicussion with Bismarck and the pope.

THE AMERICAN FAILING.

Hurumbio Ito, formerly premier of Japan, was impressed by a number of things when he made his-trip through the United States
 The success of the Americans, he thought. was due to every man be- lieving that he and his possessions were the best and largest in the world.
 No matter where he visited the oiti- Zens tried to convince him that their city contained either the tallest build ings or the biggest sewer, the greatest stores dr the largest mills, the most extensive breweries or the windmills of greatest power. One city had the most famous preacher in the world; another the sweetest toned pipe organ. Several claimed the prettiest women.
 One day the premier arrived at town where he was desirous of visiting the grave of a famous American. From observations made while driving through the streets the diplomat con cluded that he had at last reached a city which had nothing to boast of.

ovERwoRKED OFFICERS.

The question now seems to be, how can some relief be afforded the commis- stoned officers, who are working night and day and each one of whom is really doing tho work of two men? This question will have to be solved by con- gress in the coming session. if the eff ciency of the naval service is to be maintained. IL is said at the navy de- pertinent that numerous resignations and applications for retirement are due to the fact that it is utterly impossible for the department to grant officers duty ashore after the expiration of their terms at sea. We know of a case of a prominent young officer in thenavy who had not been granted any leave for three years. He wrote to the. navy department and applied for three months leave of absence. explaining thct he lived in an inland state and de- sired to visit his family. The applica- tiOn was refused. The officer immedi- ately obtained a few days leave fror1 his commanding officer, went to Wash ington, and in person, submitted his resignation to the secretary of the navy. He was, however. finally pre- vailed upon to withdraw his resigna tion but was given his three months leave. Army and Navy Journal.

RUSSIAN STATESMAN.

The news of the resignation of M. Pobiedonostseff, the procurator gen eral of the holy synod of Russia, comes by way of German paper, and it may need confirmation direct from St. Pet ersburg. This very powerful official is now 75 years old, but he could continue in office while longer if his health is not impaired. M. Pobiedonostseff has long been distinguished as the most reactionary of the czar's ministers, and the most determined foe of representa- tive institutions in the empire. His de- parture from public life, whenever it comes, will be an event of importance in view of his intensely conservative character and intellectual supremacy in the councils of the czar. There is a chance that his successor will have more liberal ideas, or be a man less disposed to resist liberalizing tenden- CieS.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR GROUP.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR GROUP. From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe)
 This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neighborhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in case of croup, as revolver is to be lost in case of burglars. There used to be an old fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu, but some modern mothers say that ChamberIain's Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to throw up the phlegm' quicker, and gives re- lief in a shorter time. Give this rem edy as soon as the croupy cough ap- pears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Elvey & Hulett. druggists.
