DOCTORs DON'T AGREE.

Has the search for typhoid germ
killer been successful? A year or so
ago a London. England, physician
named Furgeson announced that lem
on juice was a sure destroyer of the
germ, and Chicagoans by the thou
sands refused to drink the water to be
had in that city unless it contained
little lemon duice. They carried lem
ons in their pockets so to be always
ready with an antidote for the germs
whenever they were thirsty. They
may be taking lemon juice in their
drinking water yet. but the chances are
they have forgotten all about the
lemon remedy.
Philadelphia and Washington are all
stirred up just now by the announce
ment that copper is death to typhoid
germs, and that a little copper sui
phate will clean the germs out of a
big reservoir. The announcement was
made by DIR. George II. Moore of the
Department of Agriculture at Wash
inston.
But there are doctors in that city
who question whether the remedy
wouldn't be worse than the germs. DR..
Woodward the health officer OF Wash
ington, has refused to permit boats,
dragging bags Of blue vitrol at their
sterns, to be rowed over the reservoirs
of that city. He says the copper that
would be let loose in the water would
endanger the health of all the people
of the city. It is suspected that
Washington water. which is taken from
the Potomac, contains typhoid germs
from Mount Savage, Md, where there
is an epidemic of typhoid fever.
DR.. Moore won't say what he thinks
of DR.. Woodward's obstinacy in the
matter, but he is still certain that ty-
phoid fever that is caused by pol
luted drinking water can be checked
in any place by the scientific use Of
copper.
Just now doctors disagree in regard
TO this remedy for typhoid fever
germs, but Dr. Moore has a chance to
make a name for himself that will live
as long as the world exists by demon
strating beyond a doubt, that copper
will rid polluted water Of typhoid fever
germs. He should set about establish
ing the correctness Of his assertion in
the matter without delay.

BEAUTY AN IMPEDINENT.
From the Philadelphia RECORD

rum the IHlduelpnld Record.
THE fatal gift of beauty is an ex-
preston that used to be a great fav-
orite with the writer's of cheap 5c-
ton said a professor in one of the
business colleges. "As a matter on
fact, 1t contains more truth than fic-
ton. Every year we turn out a lot
of young girls who are equipped TO
take positions as stenographers. tvpe-
writer's and bookkeepers and | have
frequently noted that the pretty ones
those who possess the aforesaid fatal
gift of beauty have a hard struggle
to get positions. Take two girls one
pretty and attractive, and the other
plain and homely, and in applying for
a position, although they may be pos
sessed of equal ability, the homeIv
girl stands the better chance of get
ting the job. Lots of professional ana
business men are afraid Of pretty girls
and lots of them have jealous wives
For his own peace of mind the man
with jealous wife will choose tbe
ugliest girl he can find, so long as she
can do his work. That's why / saw
that the fatal gift of beauty has some
foundation in fact"

THE AMERICAN COTTON COMPANY.

Il hE AMEhAAA0 AOAlOA LOht ~ .
If the sole business of the American
Cotton Company had been the manu-
facture and sale Of its machines the
chances are it wouldn't have met with
financial disaster, but would have sue
ceeded in revolutionizing the method
of baling cotton. There is no doubt that
the round bale in important partic-
ulars, is superior to the square bale.
The American Cotton Company, how
ever, refused to sell its machines. 1t
seemed to have the idea that it had
something so good that before many
years it would be handling the entire
cotton crop of the country, that all
cotton would be put up in round pack
a ges and that it would get toll on each
package.
Cotton growers are conservative. 1t
is hard to induce them to get out of
old ruts, especially when it costs them
something to get out. But the chief
reason probably why the round bale
failed to become popular with them
was the apprehension that the aim of
the owners of the round bale patents
was to get control of the cotton crop.
Their apprehension was due, of course.
to the refusal of the American Cotton
Company to sell its machines. They
saw that if the company had the gin
ming and baling of all the cotton it
would be in position to charge what
ever royalty it pleased for its ma
chimes and to fix an arbitrary price
for ginning and baling cotton as soon
as all the old style gins and COM
presses were dismantled, as it were.
And it is not improbable that the
company included in its plans the buy
ing of cotton If it had been a sue
cess it could have obtained all the
money it wanted for its operations.
and, eventually might have reached
position in which it could have largely
influenced the price of cotton for it's
own benefit.
Just how much the railroads had to
do with the company's failure it is
impossible to say. The railroads now
own about all of the congresses, and
naturally they didn't want to have this
property, which yields them a very
considerable revenue, destroyed. 1t
is hardly probable that they took any
direct steps against the company, but
there is no doubt they strove to make
the square bale more acceptable by in
sisting upon a uniform bale and bet
ter wrapping.
At one time it looked as if the round
bale would supersede the square bale,
but it looks now as if the square bale
had resained it's hold on the cotton
growers and the cotton trade, and
would remain the cotton bale of COM
merce for a good many years.

WANTS PARKER's RYE CROP.
From the New York Times.

Il AtllA the NEW OTk Times.
Esopus, Sept. Mrs. N. p. O'Neil
came here to-day from her home in
Maryland to buy up Judge Parker's
rye crop. Rosemount grows annually
about fifty bushels of the cereal, which
has never yet been put to very profit
able use Mrs. O'Nei, plans to ship
the rye crop to her nome, thrash II
there. and bottle the kernels, 100 to
the bottle.
She would tie ribbons about the neclSs
of the bottles, label one side Parker
rye" and the other side part of the
Judges harvest and sell them to
souvenir hunters and enthusiastic
Democrats. With the proceeds she
purposes to complete the education of
two sons.
At Rosemount to-day she said sho
must have the nominees rye crop at
any cost, and pleaded so long and so
forcefully that it was partly promised
her at market prices One of her argu-
ments was that the souvenir bottles
would greatly stimulate the Judges
canvass in the state which she said
had weakness for rye in any form or
fashion.

Bile Theodore Roosevelt has practically
dissolved the Bureau of American Re-
publics by his lawless interference with
the effort of the Republic of Colombia
to restore the Union of its states. So

the lady, looking up with an arch

A sTRIKING COMPARISON.

In his speech to Democratic editors
on Thursday Judge Parker confined
himself almost entirely to a COMPARE
son of Democratic administrations
with Republican administrations since
the Republican party came into exis-
tence. No one who knows the political
history of the country can fail to real
ize how advantageous such a COM
parison is to the Democratic party.
The Democratic administrations were
Mr.. Clevelands administrations, and
throughout each Of them the effort
to administer the laws faithfully and
economically was earnest and contin-
uous. There were no charges of reck-
less extravaganza or corruption.
Said Judge Parker; 1.-The COMPARE
son will show that under Democratic
control the administrative purity of
the fathers was observed in the con-
duct of the government, that no one
of the departments was permeated,
as of late, with corruption rivaling the
days of the star route frauds; that
a successful effort was made to
check the growth of expenditures, that
it resulted in each instance in cutting
down the expenses within the control
of the Executive Department of the
government below that of preceding
administrations The comparison will
also show that each succeeding Re-
publican administration after 1868 in
creased expenses. and in some in
stances so greatly as to indicate reck-
less extravaganza and waste of the
peoples money"
All the world knows how President
ample economy in the expenditure of
the peoples money, and fidelity to the
interests of the people and welfare of
the country.
If Judge Parker should be elected
President his administration, by its ad-
herence to economy and faithfulness
in protecting the public interests,
would afford another comparison with
Republican administrations to which
the Democratic party could point with
pride.
When the Republican party is criti-
cised for its reckless expenditures and
waste of the public money as indi-
Gated by its billion dollar appropria-
tons at a single session of Congress.
its leaders answer by saying that this
is billion dollar country.
1t is doubtful if the White House ex-
penditures during Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration were much more than half
what they are under Mr.. Roosevelt's.
1t is certain that he didn't want stables
built at vast expense for his horses
and government vessels fitted up as
yachts for his pleasure. Under the
Democratic administrations there We're
no star route or postal frauds.
