Austrian Emperor's Army Order Is
Being Explained Away.
BUDAPEST, Sept. ia semi Off
cial communication published tonight
says that the construction placed in
Hungary on the army order issued by
Emperor Francis Joseph on Sept. II,
In which the emperor emphatically de-
clared he would never consent to the
demands of the Hungarian party, who
insist on the use of their. own language
by officers in giving commands to the
Hungarian section of the forces, does
not correctly interpret the intention of
the emperor and has produced the
most painful impression in the highest
quarters.
The supreme commander of the
army, it is declared, desired only to
make it clear that he would not per-
nit, in the interest of the monarchy
and the Most vital interest of Hungary
herself, disruption of the common
army. 1t is pointed out that the Or
der, which is not constitutional doc
ument, is not prejudicial to the changes
which the Liberals believe necessary
and desirable in the interest of equal
jty of the halves of the monarchy. The
communication adds that the solution
of the question of the proposed changes
Is now under consideration in authori-
tative circles.

How We Catch Colds,

From the Boston Herald.
The London Hospital. medical maya
zine, maintains that colds are caught, the
colds that have nasal catarrh for their
chief symptom, in the same way that other
infectious diseases are caught-by the lodg-
ment of a germ. The character of the germ
is not specified. This is no new discovery
or theory. Knowing persons have long been
careful about exposing themselves to in
they catch it. The old notion that cold
is result Of exposure to draught or to cold
air or of getting the feet wet has been
abandoned, although it Is true that one may
get a chill in that way which will afford
some of the symptoms and sensations of the
nasal catarrh caused by a noxiouS germ.
1t is safer to avoid close contact and all I'M
necessary contact with a person who has
this cold. A horse that has been wintered
out often catches cold upon being brought
into the stable in the spring Experiments
with disinfectants have shown that it is
not the warmth Of the stable that induces
the cold. Arctic voyagers are commonly
free of colds until their return to a commu-
nifty where they prevail. In the small
rocky island of st. Kilda, one of the west.
ern Hebrides. colds unknown except
when it is visited by some vessel. and it is
between the different kinds of colds brought
by different ships. There is much similar
evidence relating to the subject and the
Hospital declares that some source of In
lection must be present before it Is posi-
BILE to catch cold" What appears to tsa
needed is a specific germicide which may
be used either for prevention or cure.

A big city like New York has all sorts OF

it's inhabitants the most curious sort OF
denizen that big city could have-a her
NIT.
Unlike its village characters, its Dew
erys and Little Judge Duffeys'' and 'Or G.
inal Cohens." who are known and number
ed. New York never hears of its hermits
until death sends them to their account 1t
lost one such yesterday when widow of
eighty-sx passed away in a squal.d little
cottage in upper I'd avenue leaving a for
tune that may approximate half million
dollars. Few knew her. or ever even saw
her, except the old man who used to col
lect her rents and run her errands, and
who singularly enough. was found dying
of apopleXy at about the same tine that
she was discovered dead.
What was the story behind that quarter

ANCIENT SNUFF MILL.
Old Building That Furnished Sneezes
for Colonial Gentry.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Two ancient snuff mills on Crum creek,
near Leiperville, Pa, have long caused
conjecture as to how it happened that the
man of many industries should introduce
the manufacture of snuff in this vicinity at
that early date, says correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Inquirer. Although snun
pinching and snuff dipping were common
indulgences in those ancient days. IL was
unusual to find mills for its manufacture SO
far north at that time.
Thc fact that Thomas Leiper. who came
to America from Scotland in 1894. and when
he was a boy of nineteen landed in Virginia,
the land of tobacco and became interested
in the tobacco business before he came to
Philadelphia, explains the existence of these
two old snuff mills near the middle of the
eighteenth century
Soon after he settled in Philadelphia Lei
per established a tobacco warehouse at
North Water street In IVA Thomas
Leiper became a snuff manufacturer on an
extensive scale. and. having located at PA
Market street, where he became famous
dealer in snuff and tobacco-those comfort
ing essentials to the colonial gentry-he be-
gan to increase his purchases along Crum
creek and erect his famous mills, even be-
fore his interest In stone quarries and his
extensive inventions In the Crum Creek
valley
Both of these ancient snuff mills are
roomy two-story buildings with sloping
roof. capable Of being changed into COM
Portable dwelling houses after the decline
of the snuff industry. And while one of the
buildings served as a roomy homestead for
nearly half a century, the other has slowly
fallen into ruin since its period of manu-
featuring usefulness, and at last both tho
ancient buildings are crumbling.
