mucou, membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves Of the stomach, thus caus-
Ing the glands to secrete mucin instead OF
the juices Of natural digestion. This .

rra,ebt and yellow Fever.

.Ereipht Of itself does not carry the
faction of yellow fever" are the words
credited to DIR. Wyman, which no man
of ordinary sense would despite, but as
the %stegomyia, which is said to be the
transmiter of yellow fever, may (does)
come in ears or in vessels with the
freight, it becomes necessary for the
enforcement Of every safeguard as well
as the thorough fumigation of the
freight and the stegomyia with the
freight or in the freight cara with the
freight. 1t is also conceded that there
is no instance of where yellow fever has
been traced~to freight, but who will dis
pute the assertion that the yellow fever
has been traced to the mosquito trans
ported with the freight which has moi
been fnmigated. The f%umigation, al
we understand it, is to kill the trans.
mitter Of the fever-the stegomyia-and
not the freight, and "this is 10 joke."-

Lawson Coroborated.

The investigation of the management
of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany is coroborating the descriptions
given by Thos. w. Lawson OF the
double dealing and rascalities of fren-
MED finance. On the 10Th instant, the
special legislative committee of the
New York Legislature had on the wit
ness stand George w. Perkins, member
Of the firm of j. P. Morgan & Co., also
first vice president of the New York
Life Insurance Company.
Asked about al entry of $48,702 in a
ledger marked ordered paid by the
president" Perkins admitted that 1t
was a contribution to the National Re-
publican campaign paid to Cornelius N.
Bliss to defeat Alton b. Parker. Per-
kins also admitted that contributions
were likewise made to defeat Bryan in
1895 and 1900.
1t was drawn from him that he had
acted at once in a large mOneyed trans
action for the New York Life and j. p.
