"Humph." remarked the commission CT. as if laboring hard to keep down his rising indignation, "I wonder what those fellows want to make of us, q pack of lOafers? don't think bus fer set of men ever got together on T city board and I intend to tell the Talma iokers so when meet them. We don't work, eh. Well. that takes my time. I hear they are going to give us all a roast from the stage. Let them try it and they'll find out that more than one crowd can indulge in that kind of amusement"

incubation Against Cholera Caused
Death of BiIibid Prisoner.

Manila. Dec. 3.-An investigation
made at Bilibid. where ten prisoners
who had been inoculated with cholera
serum recently died. has disclosed
traces of plague germs in the dead
bodies. No formal report on the result
of the Investigation has been made and
the government has reached no conclu-
sion in the matter. 1t is asserted that
tubes containing plague germs and
others filled with cholera serum, which
are so much alike that it is almost i'm
possible to distinguish them apart, were
mixed in the laboratory by a visitor
who examined the plague germs, and
BY mistake placed them in rack with
the serum. tubes This is said to have
occurred during the temporary absence
Of DR.. r. P Strong of the bureau of
science, who has been conducting ex-
periments and incubation of persons
with cholera serum to test its efficacy.
The natives generally are in ignor-
ance of the situation, but the native
newspapers are indignant and bitter
1t is not believed that criminal charges
will be preferred, but It is possible that
DR.. Strong may resign.
