WASHINGTON LETTER.

The greatest anxiety prevails
among thinking men in the admin
istration, including the leaders of
Congress. regarding the forthcom-
ing decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States in the case of
the American Tobacco Company
If the decision of the lower court is
sustained it will mean the appoint
ment of a receiver for the tobacco
trust. The directors of that great
corporation will be discharged from
further responsibility and a receiver
will assume charge of its affairs,
not for the purpose of administer
ing them in the interest of stock
holders, but for the purpose of wind
ing up the affairs of the company of
disposing of it's assests, presumably
to the highest bidder and of casting
adrift on the financial sea the in
tegral parts of that great aggrega-
tion of concerns. This will inevita-
bly, result in fearful loss to those
who own the securities of the or
ganization. Moreover, the afftrma-
tion by the court of the last resort
of the principle involved will leave
the administration no alternative
but Immediately to institute suits
against practically every concern
which has been constructed on sim
liar lines. One does not need to
be a pessimist to see a condition
bordering on industrial chaos as a
result of the disintegration of the
chief corporations of the country.
But if they are found to exist in
violation of the law they must come
down and it is President Taft's be-
lief, that it is far better to see some
chaotic conditions for a short time
than to allow the illegal corpora
tions to obtain a grasp upon the
country which might never be shak-
en- off.

INTERESTING CHURCH STATS
TICS

Last weeks issue of the Christian
Advocate contains some interesting
statitics concerning the membership
of the leading Christian denomina-
tions in this country. The compila-
tion was made by Rev. DR.. Carroll
and is regarded as nearly correct as
il is possible to make II. DR.. Car
roll shows that the number of con-
gregations in the United States was
greater by 4,726 at the emu of 1909
than at its beginning and that there
were 4,026 more ministers ana 791,-
600 more communicates. The aggre-
gate value of church property of all
kinds at the close of the year was
$1,257,575,S67.
The increase in the value of Ro-
man Catholic property was $174,-
SIS, ,441-or more than 147 per cent.
The increase in the value of Metho-
dist church property (the largest
shown by any Protestant body was
S97,31O,S17. The Roman Catholics
still hold first place as to numbers,
with 12,372,069 communicates.
Next come the Methodist with 6,477,-
224 and after them the Baptists with
5,5tO,59O. other religious bodies
follow, in this order: Lutherans o.
1904, Presbyterians 1,84S,O46.
Episcopalians 921,713, Reformed
442, 500, Latter-Day Saints 4OO,65O,
United Brethren 304,656, Jews 49,
900, Dunkards 122,S47, Friends
(Quakers) 119,601, and Adventists
81, sol.
The number of religious bodies
large and small-in the United States
when 1910 began was about 174. A
number of small bodies appear for
the first time in DR.. Carroll's tables;
among them are the Jehovah Luth-
eran Synod, the Reformed Methodist
Union Episcopal church, three
churches of the Living God, nine
Faith Associations, etc. Several lit
tie cOmmunistic bodies and Meth
odist body describing itself as Evan
gelst Missionary disappear from the
Carroll tables. All this goes to prove
that this is a pretty good old world,
after all.
The common notion that there are
! twice as many women as men i'll the
churches is an error, it appears. For
| the Roman Catholics the percen-
tages are women 5O.7 and men 49.3.
For the Protestant bodies they are

COMMON oUININE As A PERFECT
ANAsSTHETIC.

Kansas City, Feb. 1t.--Out of the
fever-infected tungles of the back
woods of Arkansas has come a medi-
cal discovery that may revolutionize
surgical practice. An anaesthetic
which the faculty of the University of
Kansas Medical colleges declares is
superior to any other in medical
knowledge; one which throws stow
aine into the class OF short-lived SEN
sations, and which they insist will
eliminate cocaine from use as local
anaesthetic, is the gift to the world
of DR. Henry Thibault of Scott.
Ark.
This new anaesthetic is quinine-
common Quinine--w which has been
used for years as an internal medi-
cine, but was never known until rc-
Gently as a pain killer
The most startling claims are
made for the new agent. The effect
of quiliue when injected locally lasts
for days. so that il tonsils are re-
moved, o. bones are cut from the
nose. there is no after pain for many
days. Cocaine loses its power short
ly after the operation. Quinine is
absolutely safe. as quarts Of il may
be used without poisonous effect.
Cocaine has q toxic effect, save in
small doses. Quinine hardens the
tissues into which it is introduced,
preventing hemorrhages after opera
tions. Cocaine does nov DO this.
The absolute vindication OF these
claims has just been announced by
DR.. Arthur 3. Hert2ler, assistant pro-
fessor OF surgery in the University OF
Kansas Medical College, at Rosedale
Dr. Fred r. Rogers, of the College
Dspensary, and Dr. Roger d. Brew
ster, special investigator.
The results made public by these
doctors are the fruits of SIX months

writes us as follows: I'VE read your

we coincide with you, for Limburger
will not only drive away ants but it
will drive a hog out of lanyard; it
will drive a spike in a brick; it will
drive a tramp away from a meal of
victuals; it will drive mule through
a barbed wire fence; it will drive a
herd of cattle over a precipice; it
will drive a negro away from

A TRIP ON THE ERIE BY THEA.
TRICAL COMPANY.

The manager of a theatrical COM
pany, who routed his stars over the
Erie at time when other lines were
deporting late trains by reason OF
snow and cold weather, has written
of the service:
Il feel eager to say few words
of praise in relation to the railroad
movement and journey of my thea
trical company on Sunday from Gin
cinnati to New York. One of the
most delightful parts in connection
with the journey was the agreeable
surprise on the part of most of the
members of the company of the ar
rival of the train at Jersey City on
time. When the notice of departure
was placed on the call that the
movement to New York would be
made via the Erie Railroad, a dark
cloud seemed to lower on the little
stage world of the unpleasant an
ticipation of long and tedious jour
ney and hours late on arrival at des-
tination. All this has been disillus-
ionized and it is safe to say that all
el by the Erie railroad are now the
Erie's most loyal supporters.
II would like to add a word of
praise for everyone connected with
the Erie Railroad for their exceed
ing kindness and courtesy in their
endeavors to make the journey
pleasant and comfortable-con
tors, porters and dining car employ
ees were more than eager to antici-
pate the wish of everyone in the
party.
II shall always look back to this
railroad journey with the most de-
remembrances, and wish to
renew my thanks to all"

REMANDEO TO
CIVIL COURTS
CASE WHEREIN RAILROAD CON-
PANY DAMAGED ARMY SUP
PLIES COULD NOT BE SETTLED
BY THE COMPTROLLER.

Two years ago, or in March, 1908,
while a car of material for the post at
Barrancas was being unloaded at the
end of Commandments wharf, a train
Of cars crashed into the: car contain
ing the army supplies and did con-
siderable damage. Among the sup
plies were a number of searchlights,
and these were damaged, it was
figured, to over s1,100. The charge
was made that the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad company had not ex-
ercised diligence and proper care in
handling the cars, and put the charge
up to them. The case has been re-
manded to the civil courts tor adjust
ment by the comptroller, and the de-
cision as rendered by that official is
as follows, reported in the last issue
OF the Army and Navy Journal:
IN the case of the appeal Of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad
against a deduction of s1,115.93 by the
auditor Of the war department, the
comptroller holds that there is so
much conflicting testimony that it is
matter for the civil courts, and not
for the comptroller, to pass upon. This
is the case in which Capt. c. w. Davis,
