HEALS BAD FORM OF INSANITY
Cure Found For Supposed lneurabIs
 Dementia Praeeox.

Baltimore. Dec. aO.-A cure for one Of the most pitiable forms Of insanity hitherto considered as so per cent i'm curable has been found in the sur geOn's knife by Dr. V. NJ Owensby physician in chief at Bay View Insane asylum. This form of insanity is known as dementia praecox. It at tacks persons generally between fif- teen and thirty years and destroys as 1t proceeds the faculty of moral resist ance. making the victim little more than beast.
 Dr. OwenSby concluded that the dis ease originated through a lack Of SC cretion in the thyroid gland near the windpipe. He reasoned that instead Of the disease arising from a lack Of SC creiiOn there was a likelihood of over secretion. dse to diseased blood vessels in tIse gland. and deci,Ied Co operate on the worS: care in the aSylEm.

THE KISSING GERM.
It Is Treaeherous Reality According
 to These Experiments.


 We come to the danger of the mus rache in the kiss, as recently demon strated by scientific experiments of the highest order, followed by conclusive results. Of these the most important have been made by a noted French professor whose studies of all ques- tions relating to the now thoroughly established germ theory" have won for him great fame.
 He enlisted the services of two men, one shaven, one bearded, and walked with them through several streets of Paris, the Louvre and several stores. finally fetching them in crowded tram car 10 his laboratory. There, waiting with subdued expectancy, was young woman who-probably the first experience of the kind in the his tory of her sex-had been hired to be kissed. When the professor had made certain, by the use of antiseptic prep arations, that no germs fingered upon the lips of the maiden. the shaven young man applied his lips to hers in the customary manner. The professor then passed sterilized brush over the young lady's lips. dipped 1t into q test tube containing q sterile solution of agar-agar and quickly sealed the top.
 The girls lips, and face even, having been thoroughly sterilized a second time, the bearded man followed the example of his shaven companion, and the sterilized brush and the test tube were again called into play in the same manner During each of the operations the young woman held her breath in order that no accidental germ might be drawn upon her lips from the atmos- phere.
 After four days the tubes were Open- ed. The first. taken from the shaven man. was speckled with dots. each of which was a colony of yeast germs. such as cause mold, but are practically harmless. The second. from the mus tached man. literally swarmed with malignant microbes. The long. thin tu- bercIe bacillus was the first found. fol- lowed by dIphtheria and pGtrefactive germs. minute bits of food. a hair from a spiders leg and goodness knows what all. so great 6 variety in any case that nobody had the hardi- hood to reveal the results of the exper- iment to the young lady.-GeOrge liar vey in North American Review.

 According to the police. the girl has been in frequent communication for q month with George Wilson or Will Hams. the negro under arrest at Phila. delphia and received a letter from him Tuesday. the day before he was ar rested.

 Washington. Dec. 20.-The surprise of the committee appointments made by Speaker Cannon was the assign ment of Representative William B.
 icKiniey of Illinois. manager of the Cannon boom. to the chairmanship of the committee on coinage. weights and measures. Eight Republican vacancies made it possible for Mir. Cannon to re- organize this committee, and Mir. Me Kinley. who has never served on it before, was given the chairmanship. The committee rooms which go with the assignment are among the best in the capitol building. Incidentally the speaker overlooked Representative Wood of New Jersey. KnOwland of California and Lowering of Massachu- setts in making this appointment, but they were taken care of in other ways.
 Some of the New York members drew noteworthy assignments. Repre- sentatives Calder and Fairchild have berths on the merchant marine and fisheries committee. Representative Fornes on insular affairs. Representa- tive Francis Burton Harrison on for cign affairs, Representative McMillan on coinage. weights and measures and the District of Columbia. Representa- tive Durey on banking and currency and Representative Malby on iudicia- ".

went immediately into the Democratic cloakrcom at the rear of the chamber and while removing the, stains of the combat made the following statement of the trouble.
 Williams Makes Statement. , "The disagreement arose over com mittee assignment. Mir. De Armond called me to book for recommending his colleague, MT. Booher, to no more prominent committee than that on coinage, weights and measures. re- piled that I had been given to under stand by him that Mir Booher would be well satisfied with that, assign ment Ft3r Y
 "Mr. De Armond answered to the effect that could have gained such an idea only by the operation of my im- agination or by deliberate wish to misunderstood. I suggested to. him that the floor of the house was no place for quarrel or scene and asked him to desist. His answer was that he had never had any such under standing with me about Mir. Booher as had declared, and he added that my subsequent action was the result ei- ther of error or untruthfulness.
 A "Matter of Veraeity."
 q again suggested that the house was no place to settle personal differ ences of opinion. He retorted that it was not matter of opinion, but of veracity, and said that he did not be- lieye had merely made mistake. I then struck him, and we exchanged blows. It is most regrettable that the floor should be selected for so unpleas- ant an affair"
 MT. De Armond remained i'll the house for some little time after the en- counter and then left the chamber, but he subsequently, returned and then made a statement of the circumstances leading up to the affair from his point of view

 The encounter was witnessed by more than hundred members of the house and by as many more persons in the galleries, among them score of women.

 They were engaged in very earnest talk. but their voices were low. and they attracted no especial attention. Suddenly both men sprang to their feet and began striking each other.
