MEN OF THE MOMENT

harin, who has died in Mos
COW and left over $1,000
600, was noted for his eccentric
methods. When summoned to at
tend Gar Alexander III. in his last
illness, DR.. Zaharin required the
same preparation for his visit to
the palace as to any Of his patients
homes. That is to say, all dogs had
to be kept out of the way, all clocks
stopped, and every door thrown
wide open. He left his furs in the
hall, his overcoat in the next room,
his gOlOshes in the third, and con-
tinuing, arrived at the bedside in
ordinary indoor costume. He sat
down after walking every few
yards, and every eight steps in 60
ing upstairs. From the patients
relatives, and every one else in the
house, he required absolute silence
until he spoke to them, when his
questions had to be answered by
eyes" or "No," and nothing more.
I IANG-TUN-YEN, lately ap-
II pointed president of the Board
Of Foreign Affairs, is a graduate
of Yale, and is therefore especially
qualified to act favorably on all
matters between the United States
and China. His excellency rose
from the position Of Interpreter to
that of customs taotai at Tientsin;
then to vice-president of the board
Of which he is now the head.
THE Earl of Granard, who be-
l. came the husband of Miss
Beatrice Mills this week, holds the
important and well-paid post OF
master of the horse partly to the
scarcity Of peers of high rank on
the Liberal side, and partly to the
ability which he showed in the con-
duct Of some bills in the House of
Lords when he was lord-in-waiting.
The post is far from sinecure, for
he acts as minister assisting the
pOstmaster-general, and p heuten-
ant to Lord Crewe in the work of
managing government bills in the
House Of Lords. He is far from
wealthy for peer, but the earldom
had a narrow escape of being rich
ly endowed.
Lord Granard represented King
Edward at the christening of the
Prince Of the Asturias, and was
IN consequence, given the grand
cross Of the Order of Charles III.

Of TirnovO, a good looking four

rebaptized according to the Greek
rites. On this account, his first

Their Hands at Law.

Large Delegation Present and

AN EXCITING MEETING

With threats to take the matter to
the courts the 200 residents from the
southwest portion Of the city who came
to the council chamber to protest
against the remaining of their streets
filed out of the city hall late last night
with murmurs of further trouble and
disappointment-defe but not an
initiated.
Unless the matter is threshed out
differently by the high courts a large
number of the streets of this city
will be changed as soon as the
ordinance is published in the State
journal. the official city paper
When the ordinance is published
and goes into effect it means the end
perhaps-of one of the longest and
hardest fought propositions that ever
came up before an organization of To-
peka aldermen and it will be a relief
to the councilmen themselves as well
as the city as a whole. This street
naming trouble has been up before the
council for a number OF months and it
has passed through any number of
special committees, has been reconsid-
cred and referred until at the present
time 1t Is the fruits OF a labor of MANY
hours spent by councilmen and citizens
alike.
Last night was the first council meet
ing after the passing of the ordinance
This is the only time that it Is possi-
bic for a reconsideration Of the ordi-
nance and on account of the stand
pat spirit of the aldermen who fought
so strongly for the passing of the ordi-
nance at the last council meeting 1t
The Topeka state journal., 1909-02-17

was thought that the matter would
never come UP for reconsideration. It
is a rule of the council proceedings that
a reconsideration can be made through
the request of one OF the aldermen who
voted for the ordinance at the meeting
before but an alderman who voted
against the ordinance is not allowed to
bring the matter up again. Thus last
night it was thought that in spite of
the 200 residents who filed the council
cham Der there would be no one to bring
the matter up for reconsideration and
the matter would be dropped then and
there.
But contrary to all expectations. the
matter was brought up and on account
of the number of eouncilmen absent
the motion to have a new vote was
killed and the ordinance changing the
names of streets in this city witnessed
its final passage
The fight was full of blood curdling
speeches and pathetic ballads touched
here and there with humor of the
rarest sort Councilman Stanley for
the councilmen opened the battle as
soon as the regular council business
had been transacted He pleaded for
the people, saying they should have
chance. Then Alderman Kutz arose
and revived his old time oratorv which
always concerns his constituency
and the ''pee-pul," and he condemned
the -councilmen for their actions. When
the floor was open to the multitude
time, Mr.. E B. Cowgirl. one of the lead
ers Of the anti-street naming move
ment, arose from his chair and told of
the organization of the people in the
southwest part of the city who are
kicking on the action of the council
1t seems that these people have organ
lied and they stated last night that If
the council refused to grant their re-
quest there would be more than trou-
BILE. They have hired professional Ia
Dor to assist them in their demands.
MFR. Evans Lengthy Plea.
Mr.. Cowgirl introduced C. ]. Evans,
a lawyer Of this city, and for an hour
and a half he gave the councilmen
lecture on civil government He told
them how congress was elected, how
the legislature was chosen and the
power of each When he had talked OF
these high things he suddenly froze the
temperature and with a thud he drop
ped the councilmen down to the very
lowest of legislative organizations and
while he held them there he dictated TO
them concerning their lack of power
and their uselesSnesS concerning
municipal matters The councilmen
who knew better allowed a grin to steal
over their faces and those who did not
were awed by the elaborate descriptions

will have to pay the bill with his own
hard earned cash or else take the mat
ter to court and run great risk.
A communication from the Reliable
Furniture company doing business at
'116 East Eighth street, read to the
council last night complained on the
manner in which the Edison Electric
Light company was inserting its ca
bles down in front Of the place OF
business. C J. King, the owner of the
establishment, said that the cables
strung by the Edison company inter-
ferred with the loading and unloading
of his furniture and business materials
and he had been granted the full use
of the sidewalk and curbing by the
ers told the council that il was impos-
sible for the Edison company to keep
uD their poles in any other way and
it was absolutely necessary that they
The council referred the matter to the
judiciary committee.
The secretary OF the Topeka Ken
mel club. I. J. Heron. sent a COM
munication to the council last night
asking that the immense dog tax filed
against all of the dogs raised by the
high class fanciers in this city be cut
down TO a certain rate-a fiat rate
and the meter system of taxing dogs
be cut down Tor tneir peneut- me
dog sfanciers in Topeka, who represent
some Of the most prominent men in
the city are very anxious to raise the
standard of the breeds in Topeka and
in order to do this they must have
the support of the city-by a cut in
rates. At the present time the rates on
good high class pedigreed dogs is as
high as those which are inflicted on
the stray tramp dog or the most
worthless OF mixed breeds The Ken
mel club claims that the city should be
improved by a better breed and an ac-
tfon OF the council will help this mat
ter along
The fiat rate on dogs for the benefit
of the pedigrees sounds like a good
plan and the council winked favoraOly
at It last night. II was referred to the
license committee.
The Topeka state journal., 1909-02-17

and install the only cut off in the cell
| lar near the meter. An extra cut off
out by the curb line will have to be
inserted This will make it possible
for the fremen or the owner of the
building to shut off the gas as soon as
fire is discovered in the building
1t has been practically decided that
the cause of the big Parkhurst-Davis
fire was the big supply of gas which
poured continually into the burning
building. There have been number
of fires lately caused by gas and the
presence OF gas in the building adds
to the danger of the fire and the diff
ficulty of fighting the fire. Very few
people think of running down cellar
to shut off the gas and many times it
is impossible to get to the cut off be-
fore the fire cuts off the entrance. It
is wonder to the city council that
such a point should have been left out
of the contract with the gas people as
the old artificial gas was always pro-
vfded with q cut off valve on the out
side. J. J. Lannan was tn author OF
this resolution and also another which
provided for the installing of a key or
wrench at every fire station in the city
in order that the firemen would be
provided with the proper means to cut
off the gas. 1t made it the duty of
the fire marshal to see that every sta
ton was thus provided and the key
should be carried on every call Both
resolutions were adopted and they will

before a final passage in the council.
The gas key will not cost the city very
much as most of the stations are pro-
vided with the wrenches at the pres
ent time.
J. c.. Bluemenstack who applied to
the council not long ago for six dol
lar remittance has been turned down.
He claims to have spent S6 to raise his
water service at 1922 Madison street,
on account of the grading done by the
city at this point and thinking that it
was the fault of the city he sent the
bill TO the council. But the protectors
of the royal funds were not as easily

to the council that the bill should not

the city say that the alley is worthless

When it is vacated it becomes the

was left to the streets and walks COM

TILE TYPHOID Fly.

Tho war on the housefy is being
taken up in earnest in many sections Of
the country.
DR.. Howard, the government entomo-
logist, proposes a new name for tho
dangerous little disease carrier; he now
calls it the typhoid fly. Il
He thinks that people have alto
gether too long considered the house
fly as a harmless creature, or, at the
most, simply nuisance. While sci
entltc researches have shown that it
is most dangerous creature from the
standpoint of disease, and while popular
opinion is rapidly being educated to
the same point, the retention of the
name house fly Is considered inadvis-
able, as perpetuating in some degree the
old ideas. Strictly speaking, the term
typhoid fly is open to some objection,
as conveying tho erroneous idea that
this fly is solely responsible for the
spread OF typhoid, but considering that
the creature is dangerous from every
point of view, and that it is an i'm
portant element in the spread of ty-s
phoid, it seems advisable to give 1t a.
name which is almost wholly justified
and which conveys in itself the idea OF
serious disease. Another repulsive name
that might be given to it is manure
fly but recent researches have shown
that it is not confined to manure as 81
breeding place, although perhaps the
great majority OF these flies are born
| in horse manure. For the end in view,
typhoid fly is considered the best
| name.
Flies carry the typhoid bacllI in two
ways: They swarm over refuse matter
in pits and then visit the food prepared
for eating; or, they may cat and carry
the germs in their bodies. and then
| deposit them, wherever they go.
In the year 1898 every regiment in the
United States service developed typhoid
fever. and the disease became epidemic
in every camp, nearly all the cases APP
pearing within six weeks of the setting
up OF the encampments; and a commits
sion was appointed to investigate the
| reasons for the epidemic.
The commission was soon forced by
the facts to give up the miasmatic theo-
ry and other popular ways of account
ing for the spread of the disease; and
the conclusion was reached that the fe-
yer is disseminated by the transfer
ence of infected matter from one in
dividuaa TO the alimentary canals of
others, and that man infected witt,
typhoid fever may scatter the infection
in every iatrine or regiment before the
disease is recognized in himself. In
fected water was not an important
factor in the spread OF typhoid In the
national encampments of 1895. but about

encampments in the United States dur

would seem to ba an open question:
he says, whether on the whole the re-
viyal work OF 1877 WAS much OF a sue;
cess in Increasing the numbers OF the
members of these churches permanent
~, and whether they would not all have
been better Off If the Moody meetings
had not been held. An examination of
the statistics of the Congr,egatio
church of Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut points to q similar condition fol-.
lowing the greater revival of 1853. Ten
or twelve years after the Great Awak-5

his chltrcl, in Northampton In a SIM
gle year Jonathan Edwards lamanted
that he had not received a single mem
Der in four. years. These facts tend to
show q social law Of reaction with
grave results
This may be true, and yet it would
be difficult to oyerestimate the work of
such men as Moody. C. II. Sturgeon,
on. the older "revivalistss = Moody eXer-
9csed wonderful influence upon the
churches themselves. His was essen
tally work for peace and co-opera-
ton, for tolerance and brotherly love,
and it is not too much to say that in
his revivals he united hearts and hands
that but for his efforts would have been
far apart. Perhaps his influence in that
direction was more important than the
results obtained In membership.
