Predispose0 to Pneumonia.

DR.. Bcnsel, of the New York Health
Board, says: "'The greatest predisposing
factor to pneumonia Is alcohol. 1t lowers
the vitality and makes resistance to the
disease weaker. The patient becames more
susceptible to the germ or bug, whichever
you prefer to call it. The more whisky
that goes into the body the more heat Is
Eliminated frem the body. When taken it
produces an artlncial heat, which in turn
produces an increase of elimination, and
It is this elimination which is the cause
of physical debility"

Prentis bore some sort of a grudge, a
man Of uncouth exterior but of no mean
legislative ability at a time when ap-

reposed upon the wall OF one of the legts-

details his eyes rested upon the Latin

At the time of the visit of Grand Duke
Alexis to America the civil war had not
| long been over and the memory of the
| friendly action of Russia toward the Uni

| ception accorded to the young prince was
of the very warmest. He journeyed across
the continent to Colorado and back again,
| stopping, where fancy pleased him and
| hunting buffalo. He celebrated his TWEEN
| ty-second birthday in this country. He
was a young man of affable manners and
made friends quickly with the people
whom he met in Topeka and elsewhere.
Major Anderson. who is one of the few
persons now in Topeka. who participated
/ in that reception, recalls with keen pleas
ure the details of the reception and the
preparation for it. The town was young
and raw and the very frontier but it
| managed to handle the reception in a be-
| fitting style which indicated that the re-
/ ception of royalty was not an unfamiliar

ton of the world, calls to mind the fact
that the grand duke once toured the
United States and made many friends in
this country when the feeling toward
Russia was considerably more friendly
than It is now.
Topeka people are especially interest
ed in the recollections Of the brief visit
which he paid to this city, on his return
from a buffalo hunting expedition and a
visit paid to Denver. How the town
stood with his retinue in a Topeka art
gallery for his photograph, and of how
he was dined at the Fifth avenue hotel
at dinner where there were 10 differ
ent dishes upon what was ingloriousiy
termed the bill of fare in the news
papers the next day. That was on
January %, 1872, more than thirty-two
years ago. From here Alexis went to
St. Louis and thence to New Orleans.
Major T. ]. Anderson was grand mar
shall of the day and wore a sash over
one shoulder and rode in the carriage
with the scion of nobility. The legis-
lature was in session and it took day
off to do the right thing by the grand
duke, who visited it. Father T. P.
Baker, SO far as can now be remember
ed was responsible for the issuance of
the invitation which brought the duke
here. When the press dispatches an
nounced that the grand duke had ac-
cepted an invitation to visit Jefferson
City, Mo, Father" Baker, who was
editor of the Topeka Commonwealth,
proposed that an invitation should be
extended by Topeka and it was sent out

After the party had been received at
the hotel in the best style which the
town could afford or muster, it pleased
the fancy of his imperial highness to
go and have his picture taken. At
least he acceded TO the idea when it
was proposed. and the whole party re-
paired to the photograph gallery near
Sixth and Quincy over which presided
]. Lee knight. Accounts differ as to
the number of pictures that were
taken there The whole party of Wis
itors were taken in one group. His
highness permitted himself to be pho
tographed in a group with some of the
Topeka dignitaries, and had one pic
ture taken by himself. A fourth pic
ture was taken of the American MEM
bers of the imperial touring party.

picture. and that the only results of
