the first time in its history. The ID Bat

Albany county. IS encamped on the blufrs
overlooking the brick yards Of Sutton &

the striking italian brickmakers, 500 strong,
yesterday made an armed attack. which re-
suited In the wounding of three men. one
OF whom was seriously hurt.
The soldiers are guarding the houses OF
the employers and every approach to the
scene Of the trouble. and the villagers last
night had the novel experience OF being
halted In the streets and required to ac-
count for themselves at the point OF the
bayonet.
The night was uneventful, bat trouble
was looked for today. when It was the In
tention to serve number of warrants upon
men charged with participation In yester-
days shooting.

two or three days at least The strikers

village are fearful of acts OF reprisal. After

MONS DEPART
DISPoSING OF BUSINESS HOLD
INGS IN UTAH.

SALT LAKE. May 17.-The Mormon
Church Is going out Of business according
to q local morning paper. Its principal
holding in Salt Lake. the Utah Light and
Railway Company, Is to be taken over by
q $25000,00O corporation composed Of En-
glish and American capitalists. The new
company will also acquire the Ogden street
railway. and build an electric line from
Juab county. Utah, to Oneida county. Idaho.
It will be known as the Inter Mountain
Consolidated Railroad Company and will be
incorporated both In Utah and Idaho
The board Of directors win include H. H.
Vreeland, New York city, Baron dOfssel.
Paris; Sir Thomas jackson. London; Will
liam G. Rathbone, Manchester England:
Alexander Mckenzie. Ottawa Canada;
Henry Dupont. Paris; Beresford Hope, Lon
them Gov. John c. Cutler. The enterprise
will be financed through the Inter Noun
tain Trust Company, Incorporated In Utah
and Idaho a few days ago.
simultaneously the announcement is made
that the Salt Lake and Los Angeles rail-
road. another church property has been
sold to q local syndicate for $500 600. This
road is thirteen miles In length and runs
from the city to the lake. President Jo-
seph F. Smith Of the Mormon church is
quoted as Saying that the divorce Of re-
ligion from business is made on account
Of the fact that the Mormons whom the
Chufeu Sought 10 pfotect years ago are no
longer in need Of the protection OF the
church In business affairs.
The church entered business to assist con-
verts and strangers belonging to the
church, but as they are now on a firm
footing the church withdraws from Dusi-
ness entirely.
II this policy Is completely carried out
the sale OF the traction interests will pe
followed by the sale Of stocks in banxs,
sugar factories, the great z. c. NJ /. de-
partment store and many smaller enter
prises. It will be nothing less than q coal-
mercial revolution which will profoundly
affect the political and social life of the
state.

A couNrERB1Asr FOR TOBACCO.
Formaldehyle is the Active Agent az
q Germtcide.
From the Lancet.


1t has often been confidently stated that
TOBACCO smoke Is powerful germicide. but
50 lar TINS property has not been assigned
TO any one particular constituent of the
smoke. The composition OF tobacco smoke
Is OF course complex. but everybody knows
that tarry oils are a principal constituent.
ana certainly many oils are powerfully
anttseptic. Nicotine, again, is a strong dis
inrectant' but the quantity of this poison
In tobacco smoke Is minute, IL indeed II IN
present at all. At least, In number Of
chemical analyses of tobacco smoke mada
at different times 1t was difficult to declare
with absolute certainty that nicotine NO =
an important constituent.
The oily matter which accumulates in a
tobacco pipe Is decidedly poisonous. but It
does not contain any appreciabIe quantity
Of nicotine. the chief constituent being the
very poisonous oil pyrfdine. Tobacco smoke
contains decided quantity Of the very
poisonous gas carbon monoxide, which has
been used for preserving purposes and
which therefore must possess germicidal
properties.
Some simple experiments which we have
recently made would seem to confirm the
stituents accounting for the germicidai
properties Of tobacco smoke Is the powerfui
antiseptic forrnaldehyde. The amount
present Is more than just appreciabIe. for
IL water through which few pufYs Of
smoke have been passed II tested for for
maldehyde the result is strikingly positive.
The quantity OF formaldehyde In Tobacco
smoke would appear to depend on the quail
ity and kind Of tobacco smoked Thus the
cigar appears to yield more formalde-
hyde than the pipe and the pipe more than
the cigarette. Possibly the peculiarly irri-
tating property of the smoke Issuing from
the glowing end of cigarette or cirar or
from the bowl of q pipe Is due to formal
dehyde.
1t has more than once been stated that
tobacco sm0kers enjoy an Immunity from
certain diseases and the frequent presence
Of a powerful antiseptie In the mouth.
nasal passages. and sometimes the lungs
(as In the case OF those who foolishly inhalA
tobacco smoke) would to some extent jus-
tffy the statement. When It - considered
that in the nose q vast number Of microbes
are hourly deposited 1t Is conceivable that
these may be effectively destroyed by the
frequent passage OF tobacco smoke through
that organ. In the same way the orkan-
isms exposed to tobacco smoke In the
mouth would succumb. Formaldehyde =
one of the most powerful dislnfectarts we
possess. one part In 1000e parts Of water
serving to destroy III microbes, while such
dilute solution has practically no poison
GUS action on the human organism.

Col. McGraw's experience on his

grace with many Democrats, since
he did not even advise with the
member of the congressional COM
mittee. to whom the Democrats en-
trusted the congressional part. he
wanted to see the wire-pullers and
he did. But others saw him, too.
good authority has it, and their see
ing him gave him no comfort. It
is passing strange that the Colonel
should not be content to let the
Democrats of this district attend to
their own affairs. But then he is
trying to set up his props for the
United States.senatorship speedway,
which will not materialize this year,
as the Colonel ought to know by this
time.
