GERMLESS SCHOOLGIRLS.
Precautions Taken I'm Salt Lake City
Against Spread of Disease
Among Children,

A new ordinance has been adopted
in Salt Lake City with the idea of
preventing the disseminating of scar
Leftover and diphtheria germs among
school children, says recent report
from that city.
Both diseases have recently been
epidemic among the children in the
city and the board of health decided
that the germs travelled in the school
books and other things carried by
the pupils. The result has been the
passage of an ordinance which is
probably more stringent than any
other of the kind ever adopted by
any municipality.
1t provides that none of the school
books shall be covered with any ma
terial other than paper. In all schools
in which there is free distribution
of books such books, after having
once been used, must be recovered
and thoroughly disinfected by the
board of health.
A student once having received a
book shall keep 1t as long as that
book is necessary for his studies.
1t is unlawful for the schools to
collect pencils, sponges or other ar
ticles used by the students for the
purpose of redistributing them to
other students.
A violation of any provision of the
ordinance is punishable by fine of
$25.

A LOVERS CRIME.
10 Marry Him and Conn
mits Suicide.

Marshall, Mo-, July 2l.-George
Wiley shot and killed Miss Doyie
Flynn, step-daughter of Richard
Dearking, a Chicago & Alton rail-
road employee, at the latter's home
here at midnight Saturday night, and
then committed suicide. The woman
had refused to marry him. Wiley
had intercepted Miss Flynn on her
way home from a religious meeting,
and walked with her to her home.
Mrs. Dearkng had called to her to
come into the house, and as she
was passing through the door Wiley
shot Miss Flynn from behind. She
died with a few minutes without
making statement. Later Wiley's
body was found in the street in front
of the Dearking home. He had shot
himself between the eyes, and APP
parently died instantly.

Barring OF FEET AT WORSHIP.
A Custom That Is ReIigiousIy OBJ
served Among the Frequent
ers of the Mosques.

The India Hindus and Mussulmans
alike wear both sandals and shoes
(slippers), and the latter boots also.
The sandal (the word is Persian) was
evidently the original covering for the
feet over all southern and eastern Asia,
while the shoe was probably intro
duced into India by the Persians, At
ghans and Mo(n)gols, together with the
"tip-titled" (Hittite and Etruscan)
boot, says the Athanaeum. Both are
usually made in India of leather, but
never of pigskin, and while the shoes
are always colored red or yellow the
boots are generally brightly parti-
colored, both among the upper classes
being also richly embroidered in gold
and silver and variegated silk thread
and with bangles. bugles and seed
pearls, after the manner of the an
Gent Persian boots represented on
Greek vases. But of however rare and
costly elaboration the invariable rule
is to remove them after entering a
private house, just when stepping onto
the mat or carpet on which the visitor
takes his seat. They must be cast off
the right boot or shoe first-before
the worshiper, enters a temple or
mosque, and it is still regarded as an
absolute proclamation to attempt to
enter either fully shod. But the do
mestic habit arose out of its obvious
propriety, and the religious ritual of
THE shoes of the faithful" now and
forcenturies past observed throughout
Islam, can be demonstrated to have

rectly derived from, the universal So

BATTLE ON LAND AND SEA.
The Colombian and Insurgent Armies
and Nayies Fight All Day
Near Panama.

Panama, July PA naval battle
was fought Saturday between the in
surgent gunboats Padilla and Darien
and the government gunboats Chu-.
quito and Calpet. A battle on land
is in progress at Aqua Dulce, and an
insurgent victory means an attack.
on Panama The sea fight began at
ten o'clock and continued until two
o'clock in the afternoon. At that
hour the Darien was seen in tow OF
the PadiIla, and was believed to have
been badly damaged. The fight took
place between the islands of Flamon-
co and Ottique. 1t was witnessed by
the United States special service
steamer Ranger.
The sound Of the long-continued
canuonading threw the people OF
this city into a panic. An insurgent
attack is dreaded, and the troops
have been sent 10 the intrenchments.
The government gunboat Boyaca
hastily completed repairs and put to
sea late in the afternoon. The in
surgent gunboats have disappeared,
and their course was followed by
the Ranger, for some reason not un-
derstood here. 1t is believed that
the government gunboats have re-
sumed the attack on the insurgent
vessels.
At Aqua Dulce the governments
troops attacked the insurgent army.

BACTERIA IN DIGESTION.
Scientific Experiments with Chick
ems show Their Presence Ii
Necessary to Nutrition.

The results of experiments with
chickens to determine the effect of in.
testinal bacteria upon the process Of
digestion are reported by Prof. Schot-
telius in a recent number of the Ar
chiv fur Hygiene, and reproduced by
the Stats Zeitung, says the Literary
Digest. Chickens were kept in cages
from which all bacteria were carefully
excluded and were supplied with food
equally free from bacteria. They ate
ravenously and almost continually and
evidently digested their food well, yet
not only did they not fatten, but they
steadily decreased in weight and
strength.
Another series of experiments gave
direct and positive proof that the pres
ence of intestinal bacteria is necessary
to nutrition. Chickens which had been
Matched and raised in a sterilized en-
vironment, receiving only germ-free
food, thrived for a week, and then
began to decline in weight and
strength. Then they were divided into
two groups, one of which was fed on
sterilized food, the other on food con-
tanning bacteria. All of the first
group died in few days, the others
improved rapidly and soon were in
distinguishable from chickens that had
run free in the poultry yard. Nine.
Metchnikoff has obtained analogous re-
suits with tadpoles which, fed for a
time with germ-free food. attained an
average weight of 25 milligrams and
an average length of 1875 millimeters,
while other tadpoles, fed for the same
period on ordinary food, had an av-
erage wessht of142 milligrams and an
average length of 26.5 millimeters.

London, July 2t.-John w. Mackay,
OF San Francisco, president of the
Postal Telegraph company, who had
been suffering from heat prostration
since Tuesday last, died at his resi-

half past six o'clock Sunday evening.
Mr.. Mackay's condition had inn
proved, but TIE patient had bad
night and Sunday morning consul
tation was held by three physicians
Mr.. Mackay grew worse as the day
progressed. He was unconscious
most of the time, and died very
peacefully. The immediate cause of
his death was heart failure. The
right lung was found to be con-
gested and the symptoms indicated
pneumonia. Mrs. Mackay, her
mother and Countess Telfener were
present when Mr. Mackay died, and
Princess Galatro Colonna arrived
from Paris half hour after her
stepfather's death.

San Francisco, July 21.-The news
of the death of John w. Mackay in
London caused quite shock here,
notwithstanding the public were in
measure prepared for it by the
previous announcement of his ILL
ness. Mr.. Mackay was the last sur
viving member of the four bonanza
kings, Flood, o'Brien and Fair, the
other three having long since died
For the past IS years Mr.. Mackay
had not been actively identified with
the life of this city, but had passed
most of his time in the east, making
annual visits to the coast to look
after his property interests in this
state and Nevada. On the occasion
of his last visit to this city, early
this summer, Mr.. Mackay completed
arrangements for landing place
for the new Pacific cable, a project
that he was much interested in
During visit in 1892, Mr. Mackay
was shot and slightly wounded by

grievance against him dating from
the stock broking days of the Com
stock. IA
Worked with Pick and shovel.
Mr.. Mackay came to California In
1851 via Panama. He at once en-
tered a mine, working with pick and
shovel in the placers of the Ameri-
can river and at Downieville. In
1889 he went to Virginia City, New,
and began mining on the Comstock
with varying success. His first real
start towards success was made
when he became superintendent of
the Kentucky mine in Gold Hill. In
1868 Mackay formed partnership
with Flood, O'Brien and Fair. In
1871 this famous mining quartette
purchased the site of the Bonanza
territory north of the Ophir mine.
