BOOTHS STILL DIVIDED.
No Union Of Salvation Army and Vol
unteers Probable.

ETOSdElS.
General Darlington Booth of the Vol
unteers of America was asked by the
New York sun whether the arrival of
his father. General William Booth. sig
nitied that there waS plan to ANAL
gamate the Volunteers with the Sal
vation Army. He said:
First, l have had no intimation
whatever of my father, William Booth,
coming to this country, having merely
seen the announcement in the newSpa-
pers. My last long letter to my IA
Their. which was one of sympathy at
the time of the death of his daughter,
Emma, was answered by secretary
in the briefcst and most distant man
uer. From this silence Mrs. Burlington
Booth and | have been left to infer
that the attitude of the Booth family
toward us is precisely the same as it
was when for reasons we left the Sal
walton Army and took our stand elev-
Ell years ago.
1--WE were then Informed that unless
we came back to the Salvation Army
in submission to their dictates we
Slipiit bc IObhttl upon It's anu
rencgades. They never write us, nor
do they ever take the slightest interest
in our personal affairs.
Second. there is no more likelihood
of the Volunteers of America under
our presidency matchmaking with the
Salvation Army than there is of the
Methodist church joining that move
ment because Herbert Booth who has
ceased to be Il Salvationist, is now an
evangelist in that body. We differ
from the Salvation Army in govern.
ment, policy and principle. and the
majority of our people have never
served in that organization and would
| not wish to be confused or officially
identified with it.
at is very painful to Mrs. Balling
| ton Booth and myself that this sub
iect should be constantly brought up
We speak with great reluctance con
corning It, Indeed, we would MOI
| speak at all We're it not that we owe
a duty to many comrades and friends
all over the country"
Mrs. Darlington Booth said that sht
concurred in every word her husband
! had said

Almost sightless and semiparalyzed,
Professor George Poe, living the life
of n recluse OH Il backwoods farm in
Norfolk county, Va, claims to have
solved the problem of raising the dead
by means of his "respirator," rs he
calls the machine which he has invent
ed for the purpose. Tests of it have
already been made in the presence of
Norfolk and Portsmouth city physi-
clans, asphyXiated or smothered dogs
and rabbits being the subjects, says
the New York World In each case
the animal. after being pronounced
dead 10y the physicians, WAS brought
back to life by Professor Pco's device
and soon afterward WAS frolicl,ng
around in the full joy of life.
The inventor claims that the machine
will resuscitate PERSONS killed by as
phyXiatiOn. poison or drowning; pre-
vent death by IN inacsthctic while Il

drunken men sober in few minutes,
revive men clcctrocuted or hanged. the
latter only i'll eases where TIE neck
has not been broken. and prevent
freezing to death even in the arctic,
The professors model i simply that
of the human heart. The problem IL
the case of persons drowned. SutIo-
Gated or dead through anaesthctics
was to remove the fluid or the poison.
Gus gases from the stomach or lungs
and at the same time pump life giving
oxygen in. So Professor Poe began eX-
perimcnts on what he calls double
larynN tubes and two tubes TO connect
the nostriIs. one FOR inlet and the other
for outlet. Study ing the action Of the
heart, he saw that it was that OF 4
double cylinder, or, rather. two cylin-
ders. right ana left vcatricles and
right and left auricles. With the as
sistancc of young Ostrandcr he built Il
working model in line with the con
structiou of the heart. q simple ma
chine with two cylinders, each having
an Inlet and an outlet valve. The
plungcrs of each cylinder are made to
work simultaneously.

Enaineer Invents a Switch.

A. NJ. Jones, former engineer of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. who is
now living near Cumberland, Md, has
invented temporary crOss-over appli-
ance to be used by railroads. BY the
new method Mr.. Jones said that q tenn
porary switch can be arranged to be
used by trains within an hour, while
by the present process it takes about a
day to install a switch. The new ar
rangement is devised for use in the
case of accident or for other causes,
when it becomes necessary for trains
to be temporarily transferred from one
track to another quickly. The new
device is clamped to the rails and
gradually rises, passing over the rails
1t crosses.
