Kissing the Telephone.

From the New York Globe.
It is the fashion just now among the laity
and not a few medical men to affect a GER
tain supercilious irony toward the bacteri-
ologist. His science has run away with his
common sense, they will tell you; he is be-
come a monomaniac on the germ question;
he means well, but you mustn't take him
too seriously The findings of the modern
scientific hygienist are pushed aside with
this gentle ridicule and the skeptic goes on
his way undisturbed by any FOOL notions
as to what he calls bugs.
He pooh-poohs pasteurized milk laughs at
boiled or distilled drinking water goes out
of his way to let the barber know that he
doesn't want any sterilization in his,
wipes his mouth on the bar towel. uses the
common hafrbrush In the wash room. and
would no doubt clean his teeth with the
public toothbrush If there was one. He Is,
in short, a confirmed skeptic as to the dan
ger from germs and amount of proof
can change his opinions. He lives along.
frequently to a good old age, such is the
painstaking motherhood Of Nature. who,
while she does not suffer fools gladly. does
take care of them with wonderful patience.
IT, however. it so chance that when he is
somewhat run down. or In other way rem
dered more susceptible to bacterial attack.
then his creed remains mistaken, although
his typhoid (for instance) be traced directly
to the milkman's family OF an infected well.
and he dies as he has lived. a microbic
skeptic. 1t is quite as hopeless to argue
with this type of mind as with the germ
phobist at the other extreme whose imagin-
alton makes his life fantastic nightmare
of hairbreadth escapes from bands of ma
rauding acilli.
1t is an open question as to which Of these
end men is the greater sufferer from his
mental obsession. The comment the
telephone mouthpiece in the current Issue of
the Medical Record Is eminently true, but 1t
is of no interest to either of the above
groups. There are, however a gradually
a., efv,np ,tar NJ vuh i'm
pressed by such warnings as that in the
Record take a wholesome, sane view Of the
germ question. and are willing to adopt
such common sense precautions as those
urged in using public telephones

Game Fowls on Boston Lawns.

From the Boston Record.
Dealers in pet stock say that suburban
residents of Boston are adopting as the
latest fad the raising Of game chickens.
The stately carriage and brilliant plumage
of these belligerent fowl make them valu-
able for decorative purposes on the lawn
to people who would, however. never dream
of putting their combative qualities to the
test The dealers are prophesying that be-
fore long the old-time fancy of keeping
ganecocks chained with silver chains on
the lawns OF fashionable country houses
will be revived.

Creditors Seek Information.

Among the first to seek information was
the keeper of a boarding house on West
Fayette street. where Lindner had been
living since his arrival in Baltimore. 1t
was charged that Lindner was in debt for
board and, in addition. secured several
sums Of cash.
From another person he is said to have
secured $50 by telling the following story:
II have decided to bring my family to Bal
timore to reside. My furniture is already
at the depot and I have rented house.
Unfortunately the furniture has arrived,
and do not get my check from the govern
ment until the 22d. am greatly worried,
because have been notified that the rail-
road company is charging demurrage on
the car. It would be a great favor to me
II you could let me have that amount until
get my check. and will give you note
for the sum-"
The obliging friend handed him over $50.
To a number of other victims he told
the same story. with the exception that in
several Of the cases he produced checks on
q Washington trust company, which were
drawn to his order, and asked his victims
to cash or indorse them, which they oblig-
inp1y did

BLOOMFIELD AND POWNALL CLASH
AFTER YESTERDAYS HEARING.
ART EXHIBIT
DREW MANY.
Mr.. MOta's Talk on Art Was
Highly Interesting and Great
Iy Enjoyed.

Hundreds of people thronged the
high school auditorium last night 10
view the pictures in the Horace X.
Turner exhibit of copies of famous
pictures. There are about two hun
dred pictures hung on the walls All
on a partition erected in the center
of the auditorium.
The pictures represent nearly all
of the famous schools and epochs OF
art. Some are in color. but most of
them are in half-tone, including
photographers and carbons and a few
pictures OF examples of famous
sculpture. Among the pictures which
attracted most attention were THE
Bugler" and landscape, the origin
ais OF both of which were painted by
a former resident of this city, George
lnness.
There is also an exhibit of some OF
the best drawing work done by pupils
Of the school under the instruction OF
Miss Hilda Newhoff
Mr.. Mora's Lecture.
F. Luis Mora, formerly of this city,
an artist of note, spoke interestingly
of the progress of art and architec-
ture in this country and said that
travelling, or ambulant, exhibitions,
such as that of the Turner's, are doing
much to educate the American peopla
to a better understanding of art.
Mural decoration, TO adorn the walls
of the handsome buildings in this
country, is advancing encouragingly.
Mr.. Mora said. He congratulated
the school upon the excellent work in
its exhibit and promised TO come
down some daV if he can get the time
and make some sketches for the
school.
The High School Glee Club, of
about twenty-five voices, sang sever
al songs. Tonight a chorus from the
lower rooms will sing.
Colonial Tea.
A colonial tea and cocoa room, in
one of the classrooms. with Miss
Rose Mccormick, of the faculty. in
charge, and with several of the high
school girls. all in colonial costume
and wearing powdered wigs, serving,
is an attractive feature.
The exhibit continues this after
noon, tonight and tomorrow after
non and night. Catalogues of the
pictures are on sale.
The money realized will be used TO
buy pictures for the schools. but the
best result of the exhibit will be the
instilling of a better knowledge and
appreciation of art into the minds of
all who are fortunate enough TO
attend.
