The belief in the injurious effects of
he odor OF the underground railroad is
a relic from the period when certain
forms of illness were supposed to be
directly connected with evil smellp
With the exception OF the i'll effects
which certain gaseous Compounds OF
sulphur and carbon produce, there
seems TO be scarcely any ground for re
lating disease and evil odor. Constant
exposure to any smell, be it bad or
good, is likely to produce nervous irri-
tation and exhaustion. On the great
rose farms Of Southern France. for ex-
ample, the stranger wandering among
the fragrant fields soon feels the same
heavy headache which a persistently
Objectionable odor like that of a soep
factory is likely to produce. A lower.
ing Of energy from any type of odor
may put the individual into condition
to invite disease, but it is likely to be
the direct cause of contagion. In the
case OF the New York subway, the odor
came chiefly from the smell OF the trap
rock employed in the stone ballast of
the road bed, mingled with lsorlcatine
OIL and gear grease, and combined with
occasional slight infusions of huma,,
odor. Disagreeable as it might be when
long inhaled, there ia no reason TO be.
lieve it dangerous.

SEVERAL months ago q crank sort of
an old man came into an office and
stopped his paper because something In
il did not just suit his fancy. We have
frequently met him on the street since
that time and it is amusing to note ths
look of surprise on the old fellows face
that we are still in existence regardless
of the fact that he stopped his paper.
Some day-and it won't be long either
that old gentleman will turn up his
toes. His heart will be stilled forever.
Neighbors and friends will follow his
lIfeless clay to the silent city and lay
shcm to rest among the howera. An
obituary will be published telling what
kind father. q good neighbor and be-
loved citizen he Was-which the record
ing angel will overlook for charity 3
sake, and in a very short time he will
be forgotten. AS he lies out there in

the pleasant slumber of death, he will
never know that the last kind word
spoken of him was by the editor of that
paper which in life he 30 spitefuIly

was ''mysteriously done 10 death in

about It. The House OF Representative
passed this bill over Democratic oppo-

Secretary Wilson's Birthday.

Washington, Aug. 15.-James
Wilson, who has become known
among his friends as the secretary
perpetual" of the department of ag-
riculture, will tomorrow celebrate
his 73d birthday. Despite his age,
the venerable cabinet representative
of the great agricultural interests
of the nation is still as active. mem
tally and physically, as when he
first assumed the portfolio on March
5, 1897. There is little doubt that,
liz Taft is elected, he will continue
at the head of the department of ag-
riculture until such time as he vol
unfairly expresses desire to retire,
or until death overtakes him.
Secretary Wilson is a Scotchman,
having been born in Ayrshire, August
16, 1885. He came to the United
States at the age of IL, and after
three years in Connecticut removed
to Iowa, which state he has since
called home. After engaging in
farming for some years, he entered
politics, and after serving in the
Iowa legislature and as state rail-
road commissioner, was elected to
congress. For six years he was a
professor in Iowa Agricultural Col
1ege.
He was appointed secretary of ag-
riculture by President Mckinley and
continued in his cabinet until the
presidents. assassination. He has
since served in the Cabinet of Pres
ident Roosevelt.
