Consumption Is Not
Hereditary
A Common Error Refuted

The fact that consumption is fire.
quently seen to run in families gives
rise to the general idea that 1t is neredi-
tary, but This Is erroneous. Weak lungs
can be hereditary and where they exist
consumption is likely to follow, Cohsump-
lion is produced by germ which all per-
sors frequently inhale, especially i'll
cities where dust is flying at all times.
1t is in weak lungs that the germ find
a lodsinS place, soon multiples and
starts its work of destroying the mucous
membrane. a bad cold or cough creates
an inhamed condition of these membranes
of the pulmonary organs and affords the
germ an opportunity of taking hold;
whereas the healthy lung will quickly
throw it off A prominent physician from
the Philadelphia Clinic, who conducted
the successful experiments with pine for
treating pulmonary troubles and who for
several years maintained camp in tho
neart Of the big pine forests of Maine,

and developing the respiratory organs
and bronchial tubes there is no equa, 10

he uses is known to the medical pro-
fession as Concentrated" oil of pine and
is to be found at every good prescrip-

FIRE IN CAPITOL.
State Building Has Narrow Escape
From Destruction.

Montgomery, February 6.-(Special)-
The old Alabama capitol came near being
destroyed by fire this morning, and it Is
surprise to all who have looked into
the matter that 1t did not catch in the
night As 1t was, only a hole in the
floor of the adjutant general was burned
and some damage done to papers in the
office of the superintendent of education
just below it.
The fire was discovered by one of the
porters early this morning in the office
of the adjutant general, the heat having
made the paper crack and the plaster
fall. The porter ran up and opened the
military office, but could not get in for
the smoke.
The department had in the meantime
been called, and when 1t arrived got a
line of hose into the room. In a few
moments 1t was seen that the floor had
been burned through, and when the
flames were extinguished there was a big
hole in the floor. It was soon put out,
but considerable hurt was done the Of
flee of the educational department by the
water and the dirt.
1t Is supposed that some fire was left
in the office of General Bibb Graves over
night and that Goals fell down on the
floor and smouldered all night 1t is a
source Of wonder therefore that the floor
was not burned through in the night.
The actual loss will be light.

ADJUSTMENTS.
sousa,s "The Free Lance,

THE Free Lance" the newest comic
opera OF John Philip Sousa, the march
king, was presented at the Jefferson
theatre last night by a capable company.
The attendance was not the best, and
those who missed the attraction failed to
see something that was really worth see
ing and hearing.
The music of 1.-THE Free Lance" diff
fers greatly from that of lei CAPTAIN,
and It does not contain so much of the
Sousa atmosphere as the earlier success.
But the catchy airs are there, as is the
Fstirring military march music.
More than one of the tunes will last

/ There is an abundance of comedy which

role is undertaken by Joseph Cawthorn,
and he is at his best throughout. Three
other comedians assist him, each In a

Albert Hart as the Duke Of Graftiana,
has a figure that naturally creates a
laugh and a voice that aids in keeping
the laugh going, and George Schiller de-

his effects.
Miss Nellie Bergen, the princess, has a
well trained voice, and she is given full
opportunity to display her vocal talents
in the Three Love Stories" and ''The

rendered with especially pleasing effect.
Miss jeanette Lokrie has the comedy

MEETING OF THE cREcHE.

The annual meeting of the Creche was
held at the home of Mrs. ]. T. Nixon yes
terday morning and the officers for the
ensuing year were elected. Mrs. Alex
ander Troy London was again elected
president, having so competently filled
this office in the past.
Miss Kate Rogan will be the vice presi-
dent, Mrs Earle Perkins treasurer and
Miss Elizabeth Hutton secretary.
The report of the Creche for the year
1866 was thoroughly gratifying. They
have now in their charge thirty-eight
tots. They furnish these children with
everything that they have in the way OF
clothing and food, and give them their
education.
Besides caring for these children there
is Creche dormitory over which there
is an especial matron.
The demands on the members increases
each year with the advancement OF prices
ON the materials used in every line, and
also as the children advance in years 1t
necessarily takes more to sustain them,
and so new members are needed in the
Creche.
The Creche is composed of a body of
| women that know not the meaning OF
the word fail They have always met
their obligations to the Mercy home
beautifully, and it is the wish of the
members that those feeling interested In
the organization will identify themselves
with the work and become active MEM
bers of the club.
In the future the meetings of the Creche
will take place at II o'clock on the first
Monday of each month.

the previous one. and all who are attend
ing the classes are certainly very enthu-

learning to prepare.
On every car one rides, at every party
and everywhere one goes they are asking.
Are you going to the cooking lessons ?"
And If the individual y not it does not
take the one who is very long to tell what
is being missed by not attending. "Oh,
Mrs. Armstrong makes the best things"
is typical cooking school expression.
