LEMON JUICE IS TOO WEAK.
Not Quite Strong Enough to Destroy
 Typhoid Fever Germs.

New York January 3.-Dr. w. H. Park, bacteriologist of the department of health, has made several experiments to deter mine the value of lemon juice In destroy ing typhoid baccilli, regarding which so much has been published recently. Sev- eral microscopical examinations of cul- lures of typhoid baccilli, subjected to the action of the lemon juice. showed that, although the acid killed the microbe or ganisms, 1t required too much acid and too much time for their chemical action to take place to render lemon juice as an agent practicable.
 Dr. Parks negative opinion In regard to the efficacy of the acid as typhoid prophylactc was corroborated, for after the baccilli had been acted upon by 5 per cent solution of the acid for thirty minutes, 1t was found that all of them had not been destroyed.
 Dr. Park, when questioned regarding the experiments, said: My suspicious were confirmed by the tests. It Is far safer to boil the water or filter 1t properly than to trust to lemon juice to destroy any typhoid baccilli that may be in it.. Of course the statement that the acid would destroy any typhoid germs that might be contained in oysters by sprink- ling lemon on the outside is ridiculous"

 Evidence Regarding Frlars.

Rome, January 2.-The vatican Is in re- ceipt of the first long report on the situa- ton in the Philippines from Monsignor Guidi, apostolic delegate in the islands The delegate expresses the hope that as he and the governor are both animated by desire to maintain the pacifcation and secure the prosperity of the islands, they will succeed in reaching an under standing satisfactory to Rome, Washing ton and the Philippine people.
 Monsignor Guidi gives a summary of the evidence he has collected with regard To the selling of the friar lands, the set tlement of rentals. damages due the church. the conveyance or titles and the administration of charitable and educa- tional trusts. He thin.s the question of the withdrawal of the friars will be solved through the reorganization of the church. The apostolic delegate says the schism in the Roman Catholic church in the Philippines will be put down, although the separatist movement Is believed to be encouraged by the peoples dislike for Irlars and their desire to have a Filipino church not connected with the ancient regime.

HONOLULU HAS CELEBRATION
Paper Ribbon Containing Record of First Experimental Work Between San Francisco and Honolulu
 Cut Up and Distributed.

San Francisco, January 2.-San Fransico and the Honolulu Islands are now con- nected with cable. The first words passed under the ocean few moments after II o'clock last night. The wire worked per- fectly.
 The Silvertown, just before splicing the ends, some thirty miles off shore from Honolulu telegraphed both ways for the land stations to wait until 11:4O o'clock. San Francisco time, before trying the cable. That time was desired to insure the perfect hardening of the gutta percha in the price after the joint should be low cred overheard from the ship in about 2500 feet of water.
 Operators sat anxiously and eagerly about the instruments in King street at Honolulu and In the cable office of Mar lxet street in San Francisco waiting for the time limit to expire. San Francisco was watching for Honolulu to signal first.
 A few moments after Il o'clock. before the time limit was up, signal went from thls end to Honolulu. The first little re- sponse from Honolulu came from San Francisco exactly at :O3 o'clock IL was exactly S:41 o'clock in Honolulu, the time difference being hours and 22 minutes and few seconds
 The paper ribbon containing the record of the first experimental work between San Francisco and Honolulu was cut into little sections of few phrases each and divided among the score of speca- tors who were assembled about the in- strument when San Francisco and Hono- lulu first spoke to each other under the Pacific ocean.

 MT. Olney is an old-time democrat. and would be the strongest man the party could put up. So long as prosperity con- tinues the democrats will have to fight hard to win President but if times be- ginto get worse and the people should conclude to change administrations, as they will be sure to do when that time comes, we want man as President who would be appropriate to guiding the coun- try through turbulous days"
