While some antitoxins have been
obtained with comparative ease, ex-
periments with typhoid germs have
proven very unsatisfactory. In 1854
Koch discovered the bacilli of ty-
phoid. They are rod-like and thick
with the ends rounded, and some
| times Joined in ilaments. They pos
sess little hair-like projections called
fagella and move very rapidly. They
are found in water, milk and meats
and gain entrance into the system by
various methods. Many experiments
have been made to secure an antitox-
in from bouillon, but to no great pur-
pose. 1t has been nearly impossible
to obtain the Juice between the
cells" of typhoid bacteria without de-
stroying the chemical action OF
germs themselves. No really salts
factory results had been obtained
until, recently, DR.. Allan McFayden,
of the Jeaner institute of preventive
medicine, one of the leading bac-
teriologists of Europe, after much
research, has discovered a method OF
manufacturing %antitoxin for typhoid
which, it is generally believed, will
soon be universally adopted. The
microscopical cells of the typhoid
bacilli are so small and pliable or
elastic that no mechanical agent
could destroy them. Freezing does
not injure them.
1t occurred to DR.. McFayden to
freeze the cells by means of liquid
air until very brittle, then to crush
thousands of them together in a NOR
tar. This first and most difficult
step has proved a great success. The
mass low dead, so far as its power of
communicating disease is concerned,
is allowed to become warm again,
and is still chemically alive as to
its qualities from which antitoxin
may be prepared. Repeated injec-
tions into animals have prodrt.ed a
serum, which, it is believed, will
prove ~eficacious. 1t is too 500 after
it's discovery for a large number of
experiments to have demonstrated
obtained are very promising. At
present about all one can do for a
typhoid patient is the administration
of baths, nourishment and stimu-
lants. If the new process be proven
to produce antitoxin, the disease will
soon lose it's terrors.
Upon the death of his grandson
from cholera infantum Rockefeller
donated S2O0,0 900 to be used toward
finding a cure for that disease. Two
students discovered and isolated Q
germ, and DIR. Simon Flexner manu-
factured therefrom an antitoxin
which counteracts it. 1t will come
into use as soon as the exact mount
for a dose shall be determined. His
success has been the means of ele-
waiting Dr.. Flexner to the position of
director in the SIS, o0o, 900 Rookie

GERMS OF DISEASES.

This is essentially the age of an

bite. New discoveries are constantly
being made, both of the specific
germs causing certain diseases and
methods of utilizing them for their
own destruction. 1t is well known
that if a person were shut up in a
room for an extended length of time
where no fresh air was allowed
enter death would ensue be-
cause the air in the room, breathed
over and over, would become charged
with poisons given out by the body,
and there would soon be no fresh air
to feed upon. In the case of a dis
ease germ much the same condition
prevails. 1t must have fresh material
to feed upon, as the juices it throws
off are a certain poison to itself.
Hence, if to the blood of a person
containing germs of a disease, a suffi-
cient quantity of the effete material
furnished by the germ itself be

Thomas from seeing Pulsus. jointly owned

race of the day in such emphatic style as
to cause many to say that he would be hard

pounds. he having lost maiden allowance
of five pounds by his victory yesterday.

LORD DERBY LAME.
Great Trotter Has Bad Ankle and $40,
600 Race is Off,

Announcement was made yesterday by
Alfred Reeves. secretary of the Empire
City Trotting Clue, New York. that the
$4,000 match race between Lord Derby,
2.O5A, and Major Del Mar. 2.O5h. arranged
last March as a Fourth of July attraction
at the Empire track had been abandoned.
Lord Derby has gone lame in his work at
Hartford, and his owner. E. E. Smathers.
has paid forfeit to A. p. Mcdonald, the
hacker of Major Del Mar, so it Is said. This
action on the part of so shrewd a turfman
as Mr.. Smathers will doubtless cause much
surprise in the horse world.
Advices from Hartford state that Lord
Derby's ailment is in the left hind ankle
1t is not believed to be serious. If the
horse RECEIVERS as quickly as his trainer,
George Spear, expects he will. there may
be race between him and Major Del Mar
at the grand circuit trotting meeting to be
held in August at the Empire track.
The $4,000 match having failed as a
Fourth of July attraction, there will be no
professional racing at the Empire track on
that day, but the amateur reinsmen of the
New York Driving Club will give a special
meeting which is expected to be unusually

CALVARY HIT THE BALL.
Surprised the Expert Players on the
Eourth's Team

Not deferred by the threatening weather.
another immense gathering turned out yes
terday afternoon to see the teams from
Calvary and Fourth Presbyterian churches
meet in the Church Base Ball League.
Every possible view point was occupied.
the crowd thronging into the outfeld be-
hind the screens and ropes. and wherever
there was loopho!e to see the game, prov
ing beyond doubt, If there ever was one,
that the brand Of base ball put up by the
league teams Is popular. The spectators
showed their appreciation and interest by
their usual hearty applause as several fine
plays and hard drives were made. Presl-
dent Wolhaupter, Pitcher Louis Dudley and
big, good-natured Langley took advantage
of the good humor of the crowd, and for
the first time during the league series
passed around the hat The result was
highly gratifying to those who have ia
vored this move, a silver shower of dimes,
quarters and several dollar bills rewarding
the efforts of the president and his asso-
ciates. Langley's broad grin and jollying
appeals to cough up, ladies and gentlemen,
we need the money" ETC., were irresistible
However, the majority were awaiting the
opportunity and responded readily.
AS for the game itself, the strengthened
Calvary team proved too strong for the
Blues and broke it's tie with the mutes by
downing the occupants of third place by
the same score the game of the day be-
fore-11 to 5.
For those who delight in hard hitting the
contest was treat, four of the Black Legs
soaking the sphere for extra bases, while
Magoffin of the Blues nearly tore the cover
off the ball. His second home run was the
longest hit made on the grounds this sea-
son. The ball sailed over center field and
continued on its mad course until 1t had
crossed 18th street.
Green and Warman played star games
for the Blues, many Of their chances being
on hot ones that looked good. Bishop, Cal
vary's new catcher was "all there" and
handled Harings swift shoots in splendid
style. He was also very fast on the bases.
Sheckells was not in good form, and Cum
ningham relieved him in the fifth, but too
late to save the game. Umpire Barr was
compelled to call the game in the ninth on
account of darkness, Calvary having scored

Little Hostility to the Games of the

One pleasant feature of the games of the
Church Base Ball League Is the interest
taken by the residents in the immediate
neighborhood The petition for permission
to use the grounds at 18th and Columbia
road was willingly and gladly signed by
all of the residents on Kenesaw street and
all of those on Columbia road with the ex-

games the ownership Of two Of the vacant

RACING AT sHEEPsHEAD.
Hamburg Belle Captured Rosebuds
Stake After Hard Struggle,

Many times in the history of racing have
reports read that such and such a horse
walked In" Not often has the present
generation seen 1t so literally displayed as
when Waterboy '1oped" home in the second
race at Sheepshead Bay yesterday. He had
two very ordinary opponents to beat in
Fire Eater and Orloff. but he did 1t in such
ridiculously hollow style that the spectators
gasped in amazement.
Hamburg Belle won the Rosebuds a stake
for two year-old FLIES. in which she was
conceding fifteen pounds to all of her COM
petitOrs except Ocean Tide. yet Mr.. Paget's
FLY did not win with the same electric
speed that she displayed at the Gravesend
meeting, and, moreover, sho went back in
the betting. many then expecting to see
either Memorian or Dusky beat her. Her
most formidable competition came from
Tepee and Ocean Tide. the latter losing
second place by head to Mr.. Httchcock'a
FLY. to which. however. she was concedins
fifteen pounds. The stake was worth ~ 3Y6
to the winner. Dusky was slow to get into
her stride and ran very creditable race.
