New Serum Cures Typhoid.

New York. Dec. 19.-Rsmarkable
cures of typhoid fever patients are re
ported by Beth-Israel hospital. where
a serum imported from Italy and
Switzerland is being used. Although
the remedy has been in use more than
three months it has just been made
public. In that time thirty cases have
been treated at the hospital. which is
in the most crowded quarter of the
East Side. Not one of the patients
died. and in some instances improve
ment set in before the fever had run
more than half its regular course. The
improvement was invariably perms
nent. and many patients were dismissed
from the hospital from two to three
weeks before the usual time.
Physicians in charge OF the institu-
ton refuse to discuss the matter fully.
pending the preparation of detailed re-
port on each case for the use of the
medical profession. They admit the
successful use of the new serum. but
maintain that the treatment is still in
its experimental stage.

peace by melting riot at their meet
ing at the Grove which was broken up
in a fight last night.
To-day the Austrians employed at
the smelters appealed for protection in
their rights to continue at work un-
molested by threatening agitators. Only
the Greeks and Italians paid attention
to the infiammatory utterances of the
walking delegates and among this ele-
ment the agitators succeeded Tonight
in perfecting the organization OF a
union.
A canvass of the smeltermen to-day
proved that few are dissatisfied with
wages or hours. and those who are
have been listening to the talk or
walking delegates. Generally the men
desire to remain at work. Hereafter
guards will be placed at the gates OF
the smelters to keep out all persons
who have no business at the plants.
Meyers meeting tonight was held in
a vacant building that has been occu-
pied by a saloon. He was unable to Sc

a heavy object in the carriage. AS
sistance was offered. but 1t was refused
and Cardinal Gotti and Mgr. Marco
Gus object to the apartment of Pope
Plus. They were Immediately admitted
and remained for two hours.
Intense curiosity was aroused by this
act. as 1t was believed to have some re-
lation to the missing wealth. and the
widest rumors were circulated. II
soon became known. however. that the
bag contained 45.OOO.OO0 francs 49,

knees. and, pointing to the burden
said:
Your holiness. the late lamented
Leo. just before his death confided tc
me the money which, now lay at youl
feet. saying that II l succeeded him

place was to turn the money over tc
him after a period of four months had
elapsed. This now do in the presence

London. Dec. 19.--Sir Thomas Lip
ton announced his readiness to again
challenge for the Americas cup when

sented to him at a dinner last night.
The dinner was attended by members
of the House of Commons. the London
presentation committee. American en-
bassy attaches and by nearly hun
dred American residents and visitors
in London.
Consul General Evans presided and.
in presenting the service. said that it
was unprecedented for such an honor
to be paid foreigner by the people OF
the United States, but that Sir Thomas
Upton had won the golden opinions of
those from whom he tried to wrest the
Americas cup.
Sir Thomas Upton. replying. said he
was a proud man to be the recipient OF
such a splendid gift. adding: 'It will
be cherished by me as my most valued
treasure"
Referring in humorous vein to the
value OF the gift in raising the wind.
Sir Thomas said he never really had
any difficulty in so doing except al

The Reverend Ezekii I.oudmouth
had been the pastor of colored
church in Indianapolis but owing to
his inability to recognize the differ

had so eaectuaiiy "back-slidded" that
the sole remains OF his ministerial
life appeared In his costume and the
wnctious use of large and inappro-
PIRATE words.
The Reverend Ezekil spent most of
his waking hours in the various re-
sorts where the gentlemen of his
color most do congregate. taking such
gifts as the Fates might send in the
way OF refreshment. and volubly
thanking the "I-o'd'' for the drops and
crumbs which fell to his share.
Naturally the fare in both forms
being of an uncertain quality. the
tunes OF famine were in an inverse
ratio to the times of plenty and in
consequence the talk of feasts to come
occupied more hours than their con
sumption. On this particular occs

is manifestly able to maintain her pres
ent effort to repress the said secession.
"Thct the President OF the United
States has entered into treaty rela
lions with persons who claim to have
seceded from Colombia, with stipu-
Iation which is, in effect. declaration
of war with Columbia and is not with
in the limits of any power conferred
upon the President by act of Congress.
Iof the constitution or by the law OF

"That the President has no lawful
right or power, without the consent OF

that exist in Panama. to use the mill
tary and naval forces of the United
states to prevent Colombia from en-
forcing her claims to the proper exer-
else of her sovereignty and to execute
1 her laws in the department of Pana
ma"
The resolution of the Senate and
House of Representatives in 1899 is re
peated. The sense of this is that the
government of the United States looks
with serious concern and disapproval
on any connection of any European
government with the construction and
control of any ship canal across the
.isthmus.

Washington. Dec. 19.-Senator MOT
gan yesterday introduced resolution
declaring that the President has no
right to wage war against any foreish
power without the consent OF CON
gress. when such country is at peace
with the United States: that the pro
vision of the canal treaty between the
United States and Panama is. In ei-
feet, a declaration of war with Colon
bIa; that the Intervention of the Unit
ed States In preventing Colombia 10
suppress the secession of Panama Is
contrary to the Law of neutrality and
the law of nations.
The important features of the reso-
luton are:
That neither the President, nor the
President and the Senate as the treaty
making power of the United States,
has the lawful power to wage or de-
clare war against any foreign power
without the consent of Congress.
That a state of war exists between
Colombia and an organization in the
Colombian department of Panama that
claims to have accomplished the Sc
cession Of Panama from Colombia and
to have established its independence.

der date of December 18th says: The
local land office is occupied in taking
testimony in the contest by the Lily
Park Land and Cattle Association
against the entry of thirty-one claim
ants who are seeking to take the land

to the Lily Park Association covers
land other than that occupied by the
association. This is the fourth day
of the hearing and the only witness
so far called is w. II. Clark, county
surveyor of RIO Blanco county. The
Lily Park association is endeavoring
to prove by Mr.. Clark's testimony that

made are substantially correct. There
are over fifty other witnesses to ex-
anime and it is expected that the hear
ing will last several weeks.

One of the earnest members of the fed
Grafton in town is Mrs. Chester I. Long
of Medicine Lodge. Mrs. Long was one
of the organizers of the Monday After
noon club of her own town, and has been
in District Federation meetings where
she has taken an active part. Art and
music have been two things Mrs. Long
has given close attention to, but neither
of these is particularly to the fore in the
Monday Afternoon club. Rather this
clubs efforts have been along decidedly
practical lines. The club instituted the
tree-planting idea in the little southwest
town. and several thousand different
varieties have this spring been added to
the already growing thousands which
have been set out in years past through
the work of this club The club also
founded the towns public library. and its
work in a civic way. though quiet and
modest has been great. 1t is perhaps
meet that through her interest in tree
planting in her own town. Mrs. Long has
been made a member of the standing com
mittee on forestry of the General Fedora
tion-the national organization. Mrs.
