INFLUENZA RACES IN ST. LOUIS,
Fifteen Thousand Persons, it is Said,
Suffer From the Disease.

ST. Louis, March s.-Fifteen thou
sand st. Lonisans, it is estimated, are
suffering from influenza. The epidemic
made Its appearance here three weeks
ago. The number Of cases has in
creased with alarming rapidity, until
practically every physician in the city
has at least one victim among his pa
tIents. Every hospital has its quota
of sufferers, but at the city hospital is
the largest number, about 60 altogeth-
or among 700 patients.

counted for and certified to by the

In addition TO this, the regular fixed
charges and benevolent collections OF
the church, amounting to more than
$50, BOO 600 per annum, showed an ad-
vance rather than 4 decrease. This
means that in the last four years this
one denomination Of evangelical
Christians has, without aid from the
State, under the influence only Of per-
sonal interest and persuasive argu-
mentS, expended above 500, 100000
for its faith.
The primary work of Methodism
was 10 revive and spread spiritual re-
llgiun. For several decades its ener-
gles were devoted chiefly to this end.
Awakened religion, however, created
a strong desire for education among
the common people, hence the extra
ordinary progress made by the church
in this department of civilization.
Homes for the aged, hospitals, orphan
asylums, naturally came later. Tenn

been strenuously insisted upon, as

Mr.. HunIey's Position.

Editor Of The Times Dispatch:
sir-In The Times Dispatch of the 9th
instant am reported as being opposed
to cutting off the introduction OF new ne,g
time, My position Is the very reverse Of
this. Two months ago I offered In the
House q resolution to prevent the intro
duction Of any new bills other than those
relating to revision of the laws.
i was not opposed4to that part OF the
resolution offered In the House by Mr..
Carter on Monday, which cuts Off new
bills but l was opposed to that part
which provides that committees shall not
report after the 18th. I see no reason
why committees may not be permitted to
report their work ns long as the session
continues If not acted on now, their
reports will be of value to the Revision
Committee during the recess and may be
considered in the fall.
1 withdrew my motion to reconsider
because the resolution had been communi-
Gated to the Senate, and I thought per-
haps it would be amended by that body.
i will thank you to correct the error
