swedenbogian Exhibit Proposed.

st. Louis. Mo, Dec. 11.-One of the
most novel exhibits at the approach
ing Exposition is proposed by the
Swedenborgian societies o. America.
The various societies OF this denom-
ination propose to have reproduced
the original dwelling house of Ema-
nuel Swedenborg. the founder of the
sect, which is still standing and pre-
served in Stockholm. It is planned
to erect the building upon a proper
site within the Exposition grounds,
to be used for the display of manu-
scripts, original volumes, and OBJ
jects of interest to the church mem
bers and general public, and also for
the free distribution of New church
literature, as well as a meeting point
for visitors interested in the new
church movement who are expected
to attend the fair in large numbers.

Europe Honors Or. Koch.

Berlin, Dec. 11.-Professor Koch,
the eminent physician and scientist
was the recipient of many honors
today on the occasion of his sixtieth
birthday. Congratulatory addresses
were received from scientific bodies
in many parts of the world. Another
gift was a marble bust. his own
likeness, presented by friends and
admirers in Great Britain and Ger
many.
Professor Koch is recognized as
the worlds leading authority in tu-
~berculosis, the bubonic plague and
all diseases of a like nature. For
nearly forty years, ever since he
gained his degree of M. D.. he has
been studying germs, and about 1880
he succeeded in identifying the germ
of cattle diseases and of consump-
ton. His remarkable discoveries led
to his being placed at the head of
the German Cholera Commission
which visited Egypt and India, and
while on this investigation he dis
covered the coma bacillus of cholera
receiving a reward of 100. 900 marks
from the government. Further re-
searches in bacteriology established
his reputation as the leader in this
branch of medicine. and led to his
appointment as professor of hygiene
at the University of Berlin.

Present Condition Of Statehood.

Present Condition Of Statehood.
The New Mexican. which keeps
about as well posted on conditions
at Washington as any other territor-
ial paper, has the followig to say in
regard to the present status of the
statehood question:
Delegate Rodey has for the past
three weeks spent his time almost
wholly in keeping appointments for
personal calls upon enemies of state
hood in congress, has had many in
teresting talks. and has removed a
great deal Of prejudice that existed
in the minds of the enemies of state
hood.
among others. he has had long
conferences with Speaker Cannon,
Congressman Payne, Republican
floor leader, Congressman Dalzell.
Hepburn, Grosvenor. and many 9th
ers; and on the senate side. with
Senators Hale. of Maine. Lodge of
Massachusetts, Beveridge of Indiana,
Kean and Dryden Of New Jersey,
Bard of California. and many others.
"Of course he has had many inter-
views with the friends of statehood
as well: the delegates from all the
territories have conferred. and all
have had consultations with sena-
tors Quay, .Elkins, Foraker, Calm
ger. McCumber. Burton and other
friends OF statehood. They have each
also had interviews with the Presi-
dent.
In q short time something may
happen In the statehood line. It will
surprise the people here when they
know the amount Of prejudice that
has been removed by these confer
ences and by information gained
since the last session OF congress.
Many Of the reports that have recent

hood question is insbetter shape than
i has ever been since the beginning

HINT FOR THE voCALIsTs.
They should Go Out on a Farm and
Try to Drive Oxen.

-Four or Ave years ago." said n
northern Michigan farmer, who was
talking to a Detroiter the other week,
"a Chicago man happened to be in my
ncighborhood on business. IL somehow
came out that he had a son who had
Just lost bis voice. and, meeting the
father | said to him:
III It's true that your son has lost
his voice you might send him up here
for a few weeks
What for?' said he.
To find his voice. says I.
How can he do it?'
I'll set him to driving oxen
Il told him ! had known OF lost
voices being restored that way, and af-
ter thinking II over. he said he'd send
the son along. The young feller arrlv-
ed the next week, and his was bad
case. lie couldn't speak 20 be heard

Then | set him to haul some timber
out OF the woods, and I went into hid

chain. He put on the CAD, but It was
no use What them oxen was used to
was yells and whoops and cusswords,
and they meant to have 'em or stand
right there.
That chap put on the cad and jump
ed up and down and threw stones and
clubs, but the oxen Just looked at him
and chewed their cuds. He worked at
'em for full hour, gettin' madder and
madder all the time, and there were
tears In his eyes and he was jumpin'
on his hat, when he suddenly busted
out wearin'.
His voice came TO him all of a sud
den, and the way he did 20 on was aw-
ful to hear. He called them critters
hundred bad names, and he cussed 'em
from horns to hoofs, and even folks
goin' by on the road stopped to listen.
The oxen were too surprised to
move for ten minutes. but all mt once
they heaved ahead and went of on the
run with stick of timber sixteen feet
long. II was n sudden and complete

He wanted to stay for week or
two longer. TO be sure that he had act
