How to Catch Pneumonia.

DR.. Thomas Darlington, the Health
Commissioner Of New York, in a lee
ture the other evening before the New
York Academy of Medicine, spoke Of
the danger of catching pneumonia,
which he. describes as decreasing less
rapidly than other infectious diseases.
DR.. Darlington said that the germ Of
disease, known as the pneumococcus
was present in nearly everybody's
throat in winter time. But. he ex-
planned, the germ would not take
hold" SO long as the owner Of the
throat remained in good condition
generally.
1.-The blood naturally resists bac-
terra and destroys Them" said DR..
Darlington. But If person works
hard in an overheated office, goes
without proper exercise, does not eat
his luncheon, eats too hurriedly, takes
two or three cocktails or drink Of
whisky instead Of luncheon. goes home
in the cold or improperly clad, dresses
hurriedly and goes out to dinner or
to a saloon-the everyday routine Of
not only many Of our business men
but also Of the working classes-the
body resistance Is lost to great ex-
tent and bacteria can overcome It,"

will be as incredible as if she said

church last Monday evening at the call
of the new musical director of the
church, G. r. de P. Vontom, for the
organization of the Holy Rosary Choral
union. With those who had previously
signified their intention of Joining the
union and those signers who expressed
a desire. to join Monday evening, to-
gether with the members Of the old
choir, the new choral union promises to
have fully $50 members. Meeting every
Monday and Thursday evening, in addi-

is given in Further Recollections of

was Dublin barrister and the other
local man, Sir Valentine Blake. Of
Menlo Castle, who was what was
know as Sunday boy"-in other
words, owing to financial embarrass-
ments. he was unable to appear
abroad except upon the Sunday, and
had to spend the other six days Of
the week in close secluslon in his own
dwelling. A member Of Parliament
could not be arrested for debt, which.
among other reasons, made it exceed
ingly desirable that Sir Valentine
should become member for Galway
town. A local orator in supporting
him did not try to conceal this motive;
passionately, leave Sir Valentine TO
pine in his seclusion at Men)o? Or

Bijou Theatre.

There are few actors upon the stage
who have met with the success that
has been the fortune of young Joseph
Sankey's short career in Hal Reds
latest melodrama entitled "A Runaway
Boy" which commences an engagement
of enc week at the Bijou Sunday af-
ternoon, with the usual Wednesday ana
Saturday matinees. This play was
written to order for the young star
and his part, that Of Harry Reynolds,
is one which admits of a wide scope
for his acting abilities. "a Runaway
Boy" is in four acts and five scenes
and a most elaborate production has
been made by the management and
clever acting organization will be seen
in young Santley': support. The story
of "a Runaway Boy" is an interesting
one from start to finish, telling as it
does of the adventures of Harry Rey-
nolds Joseph Santley), who has been
left fortune by his father, but who
is under the guardianship Of an old
uncle until he attains seventeen years
of age.
