The question of circulating disease by germs has been so widely discussed in this Nineteenth century by both physi cians and sanitarians, and the theory so generally accepted, that it seems strange that the danger from infection arising from the custom of administering the sacrament of communion by one gen eral cup hasnot yet been considered by the profession at large. While feeling the greatest reverence for a custom made sacred by time and usage, is it not the duty of each of us to do our part toward diminishing the prevalence of disease? One church in the United States has, after much careful thought and deliber ation, rejected the practice of serving communion wine from one general drinking vessel, and substituted individ ual cups for this service. This was in a Methodist church in Cleveland, where a few Sundays ago the innovation was made. Did the present custom of dispensing wine to persons from one general cup prevail anywhere but in a church, sani tarians would have condemned the prac tice as dangerous long ago, but the fear of being thought sacriligious has kept j tnem from expressing their opinion Under no other circumstances could anybody be induced to make use of a drinking utensil that had been touched . by a dozen, a score, a hundred, perhaps, other lips. The drinking cups of public places are in reality more cleanly than the communion goblet, for each new comer at least rinses out the vessel be fore touching it to his mouth. No one, diseased or not, is denied par ticipation in the sacrament of com munion. The cup that is held so rever ently has perhaps but a moment before been contaminated bya fellow communi cant just recovering from malignant sore throat or some incipient disease far more infectious. And in th,e carved decorations which usually ornament the edge of the communion cup, no better breeding place for bacteria can be found. Are we the less Christians because we desire to obey the ordinary laws of hygiene? Is any of the sacredness of the sacra ment taken from it by the introduction of as many cups as there are communi cants? "Drink ye all of this." Where does the theologian find his authority for the manner of administering? Not in any words of the Scriptures. There is no reference to one cup from which all should partake. Whatever teaches clean liness, whatever tends to purify the body, advances the cause of Christianity. It is surely "the spirit that giveth life" and not the form. Not many months ago Judge Arnold, of Philadelphia, decided that the kissing of a dirty and therefore germ breeding Bible was not necessary to the taking of an oath. He claimed that it savored of the days of idolatry, and that we, as a people wise in our generation, should abolish a custom so fraught with dan ger; that the laying on of one's hand was just as binding as touching the book with one's lips and far more conducive to the public health. Surely the sanction of administering the wine of communion, as it now pre vails, comes from ignorance and super stition rather than from willful blind ness to its evident dangers, and it is to be hoped in the next few years that priest and congregation, sacrificing the wish of a few to the good of many, and recognizing the necessity of scrupulous care and cleanliness in preventing dis ease, will substitute individual cups for the administration of communion wine, and do away with the present plan of using one utensil without cleansing it as it passes from lips to lips. New York Advertiser. Boscoe Conkling'! Son-in-law. Did you read in the news columns that W. G. Oakman.was elected president of the Richmond Terminal road the other day? Well, he was. I'll tell yon a story about him. He is the son-in-law of Ros coe Conkling. At the time of his mar riage to Bessie Conkling her father op-' posed the mating, and so accustomed was Mr. Conkling to have his own way about what concerned him that he never forgave his daughter until he came to die for thwarting his wishes. The ob jection Conkling had to the match was simply because of the obscurity of Oak man, who at the time was a humble superintendent of a minor division of the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern railway, and probably did not show up on the pay roU for more than twenty five dollars a week. Oakman was always a popular young man and was thought by his friends to have some future. Mr. Conkling did not think so. On the occasion of the wedding Horatio Seymour, uncle of the bride, threw open the doors of his house in Utica and gave the young woman an opportunity of making a social stir which her father's purse would not have permitted, though he had been willing to the match. Mr. Conkling never spoke to his daughter after until he was on his deathbed in the Hoffman House. He sent for her, and the supposition has al ways been that there was a reconcilia tion. Interview in Chicago Tribune. England a Vampire. It is many years ago since Baron Lie big wrote: England is robbing all other countries of the condition of their fertility. Al ready, in her eagerness for bones, she has turned up the battlefields of Leipsic, of Waterloo and of the Crimea; already from the catacombs of Sicily she has carried away the skeletons of several successive generations. Annually she removes from the shores of other coun tries to her own the manurial equivalent of 3,500,000 men, whom she takes from us the means of supporting, and squanders down her sewers to the sea. Like a vampire, she hangs upon the neck of Europe nay, of the entire world, and sucks the heart blood from nations with out a thought of justice toward, without a shadow of lasting advantage to, her self. The Delay ol the Law. The rule of mob law in this country seems to be extending. The fact that so many person! are lynched is the most powerful indictment that could be drawn ud against the modes of criminal pro cedure prevalent everywhere. There cannot be any question of the fact that the machinery of the law, as it is ad ministered in the United States, is cum brous and slow, and provides more safe guards than terrors for the criminals. A skillful criminal lawyer, if his cli ent possesses any influence or standing whatever, can "wear ont" any ordinary case, even of murder. The law fills his hand with trump cards. He can find plenty of technicalities, a flaw in the in dictment, or some other legal quibble, and he can ask for new trials and ap peals and postpone until the important witnesses are dead or have left the coun try and the public have forgotten the case. Louisville Courier-Journal. Falacio Captures Crespo's Son. New York, April 29. Cable advices from Veneznela state that President Palacio cap tured Crespo's son, declares he would exe cute him as soon as his father comes within a league of Caracas and sent word to Mrs. Crespo that he would torture the young man unless she revealed her husband's plans.

Household Assembled at Break fast Have the Building Scattered, About Their Heads, but All Escape with Slight Bruises Valuable Or chards Blown Away. Longview, Texas, April 21. A cy clone .of fearful velocity struck near Gladwater, twelve miles west of here.ou the Texas Pacific railway, and demol ished everything in its path. Fortunately, however, the country over which it swept is sparsely settled, and the loss of life is small, although forest trees were blowu down by thousands. The most damage was to a lumber shed at Gladwater, which took down the telegraphic pole along with it. .Next the Tog house of Dick Spencer, colored; James Bell's house and outbuildings. William Daniel's dwelling and out houses. J. M. Munger's dwelling, a strong, six room house, was first blown four feet west and the corner jammed into the earth. The whole structure was carried fifty yards and let down on sev eral uee mvee. avi a uaua remains in its place, while most of them wer ecom- pletelv splintered. ; In this house several people were as sembled at breakfast, all of whom stayed in the building during the ordeal, and not one was killed outright. J. M. Munger had his collar loue broken and received slight bruises. His wife, who had a 6-months-old infant in her arms, had her ankle broken and was otherwise bruised. A girl of 14 received an ugly i wound on the left leg. -The baby was badly hurt by being squeezed by f nr j nitnre. All the outhouses and extensive and valuable orchards were blown away. The storm passed Philip Munger's, 300 yards off, only destroying outhouses and fences. Next it took Mr. Munroe Purque's bouse from its foundation, but injured none of the family. It struck six miles north at West Mountains, killed an old negro wotnan, uame unknown. and blew down several houses, doing much other damage. YOUTHFUL MURDERER HANGS. He Sang a Song Which He Had Written for the Occasion. Cheyenne, Wy., April 23. Charles Miller, the boy murderer, was hanged yestet d ly. He showed no anxiety about his future, and died like a dJine novel hero. He sang a song on the scaffold which he had himself composed. In September, 1890. Charles Miller, then 15 years old, shot and killed Waldo Emerson and Ross T. Fishbangh in a box car on the Union Pacific railroad, forty miles east of Cheyenne. Emerson and Fishbangh were respectable young men of St. Joseph, Mo., who had set out to reach Denver by free rides. The evi dence clearly showed that lotb youths were murdered in cold blood for the money which they had in their posses sion. Miller was their companion, and disappeared after the murder. He was located in a small town in Kansas and arrested. He was taken to the scene of the murders and finally confessed his crime. He has twice escaped from jaiL Death of Inventor Cowles. Cleveland, O., April 23. Eugene H. Cowles died at El Paso, Tex., of hem orrhage of the lungs. Together with his brother. A. H. Cowles, he invented the process of making aluminium by means of electrical heat. He also in vented the overhead trolley system of propelling street cars by electricity. Mr. Cowles was best known to the reading public by his long standing disagree ment with his wife, his abduction of his 10-year-old daughter Florence, and his capture in Montreal, when he was shot in the neck by C. C. Hale, his brother-in-law. Mrs. Cowles secured a divorce a year later, and Cowles im mediately married Miss LueneschlasV, to whom he had paid attention -for some time before. Hale was never prosecuted for shooting Cowles, it being evident that he acted in self defense. Deeming' Trial Postponed. Melbourne, April 22.

He was the inventor of the deflective armor now used on war ships of all nations. Tho Books Boys Read. The truth is that it is not the boys who read "bad books" who swell the roll of youthful criminality, it is the boys who do not read anything. Let any one look over the police court of a busy morning and he will see that the Btyle of youth gathered there have not fallen into evil ways through their depraved literary tendencies. They were not brought there by books, but more probably by j ignorance of books, combined with a genuine hatred of books of all kinds. I There is not a more perfect picture of j innocence in the world than a boy buried ! in his favorite book, oblivious to all earthly sights and sounds, scarcely j breathing as he follows the fortunes of the heroes and heroines of the story. Kansas City Star. Several Butlers. Ward McAllisters daughter was vis iting not long ago in Philadelphia, and at a luncheon given in her honor re marked in an affable tone to a bright girl on her right, "Ah, have you anyone here who fills the somewhat important place in society that papa does in New York?" "Oh, yes, Beveral," sweetly re plied the girl addressed, "but they're all colored men." Chicago Tribune. DEATH OF WILLIAM ASTOR. The Balk of Bin Millions Go to His Son, John Jacob.

H Brussels, April 29. There has been an other duel as a sequel of the Fox-Borrowe meeting between Mr. Harry Vane Milbank and a Frenchman whose name has not yet been divulged. The cause of the affair was a remark made by the Frenchman regard ing the character of the Fox-Borrowe meet ing. The Frenchman was wounded in the hip. The wound is of a very dangerous character. The weapons used were the regulation dueling pistols, and the duel was fought at a dLstance of twelve paces. The woundtd man was taken aboard a steam yacht lying off Ostend, and is being carefully attended by friends who were awaiting the result of the meeting.

Two New York newspapers publish long cable accounts of a duel alleged to have been fought between Edward Modoc Fox and Hallett Alsop Bor rowe. The encounter is said to have taken place among some sand dunes, on the Bel gian coast, a' few miles from Ostend. Neither of the men were hit at the first fire, but the second bullets were more ef fective, for Fox's .is said to have whistled past his antagonist's ear. Borrowe's bullet passed through Fox's coat, but did not touch hi body or his "top" hat. Prom Porter to Politician. Away back in the forties there was a large wholesale hat concern located on Vesey street. New York. They had an Irish porter who was both smart and ambitious. In those days the buyers used to come to New York, and not the drummers go on the road as they do now. This porter went to his employers and asked them to allow him to take a case of samples and call on the buyers at the up town hotels and see if he could not demonstrate that he was fit for something better than "sweeping out." They allowed him to try. He made a successful salesman. Finally one of the firm died and the young Irishman asked to be admitted to the firm. He was taken in. It happened that this hat house had as all jobbing houses had in those days a western attorney who looked after their western accounts. His name was Abraham Lincoln, of Springfield, Ills. In 1860 he was elected president of the United States. On his way to Washington lie was the guest for a day or so in New York of his cli ent the Irish porter, salesman, partner in the hat business. Result? Mr. Presi dent Lincoln took a great fancy to his Celtic client and asked , him to go on to Washington and see hini inaugurated and to spend a few days with him. Thomas Murphy accepted, and he and Mr. Lincoln became fast friends. When caps were wanted for the troops Thomas Murphy's firm had the con tract. Some years afterward it hap pend that Mr. Murphy's house had an attorney in New York city and his name was Chester A. Arthur. Col lector Thomas Murphy the same Tom when asked to resign the office of col lector of the port of New York was allowed to nominate his successor, and he named his friend, C. A. Arthur. Then it happened that the same Chet Arthur jbecame president of the United States- That is briefly the reason Mr. Thomas Murphy was always so much at home at the White House. Balti more News. One of Cardinal Manning's Stories. Cardinal Manning used to tell a humor ous story of his early experiences as a temperance advocate. He was return- mg one night from some meeting when he met an Irish laboring man, decidedly the worse for liquor. Dr. Manning stopped him. "You're an Irishman," said the doctor. "Indeed, 1 am, your reverence," was the answer. "And a Catholic?" added the provost. "Sure, what else would 1 be?" an swered the inebriate. "Then why don't you take the pledge, and keep from disgracing your religion?" asked Dr. Manning. "1 only take a drop now and then, and Fm not so far gone," answered the Irish man again. Then the future cardinal explained that he was a priest, and he had taken the pledge. The man crossed himself. "Ah, then," said he, "1 never thought I'd see such a bad day, to meet a priest that had fallen so low as to have to take the pledge; God help your reverence," said the Irishman, and walked sadly if uncertainly away. "1 suppose God did help me, or I wouldn't be a teetotaler still," was the cardinal's comment when he told the story. London Tit Bit GENERAL SOUTHERN NEWS. I Ankiston, Ala., April 19.

To Visit the One Hundred and Fifty. With the Rev. Father Huntington as escort the east side workers propose to return the "slumming" calls of fashion able society. Why not? It is a simple matter of etiquette. All winter long the leaders of the One Hundred and Fifty have at all hours of the day and night been dropping into the mansions on Roosevelt, Ludlow, Essex and other streets. They have been received with the utmost hospitality, and if reports be true the "growler" has been "rushed" on more than one occasion for their en tertainment Not a door has been slammed in the faces of the fashionable slummers from Fifth and Madison avenues, and the least Mr. McAllister's patrons can do is to accept the return calls with stately courtesy. It is understood that the high priest of fashion is shocked at the proposition, but we can really see no reason whv he should be. and we do not credit the report. The first call should be on Mr. McAllister. He can arrange for the presentations that are to follow. New York Recorder. Shs Is 103 Tears Old. New York, April 29.

New Yobk, April 29. Another of the dreaded flat fires converted the west wing of the Cayuga apartment house, 111 West Thirty-third street, into a skeleton of ma sonry. Although the alarm was half an hour be fore noon, two women lost their lives? while three others were very badly burned. The dead were Mrs. William Alexander, thirty-two, wife of a porter in a warehouse at 132 Reade street. Miss Elizabeth Jones, twenty-five, sister of Mrs. Alexander. The Ideal Woman. The ideal woman will be far more free, in the right sense of freedom, than women are now. Love will q free, but freedom will mean a deliverance from inner bondage, rather than from outer social restraint. Very much of the talk at present about slavery and bondage means merely that the person js liiu dered from unlimited passion or waste of aff action. The only love that is - oi th our while is that which beautifies, and purifies and helps. When you will v.se the word love in that sense it cannot be too free. The coming woman, I do m oubt .will have great purpose to help; and let me ;i there is no power ever Euad strong will sure you that manifested in this world like that of a clean hearted wholesome woman. She will not pros titute her body in marriage, nor out ofc it, and marriage will not mean power to any one over the body and soul of another. Bondage that destroys is sub servience to forms and pretenses and fashions. Over half of woman's time and mind is given to matters of dress and social rivalry. Out of this we shall rise and are slowly rising. There ill be a transition era of unstable views of individual duty and social duty; but the finality will be that honorable character and beauty of spirit will win the day. Marv E. Spencer in St. Louis Globe- Democrat. Why Hot Let Well Euough Alone. A woman missionary in a talk before a woman's club the other afternoon sought aid to .bring civilization to some South African peoples, among whom she had been. She described them as gentle, trustful folk, honest, affectionate and moral, not wanting in fact in the simple elements of character. To her earnest appeal for their rescue from heathenism and savagery a witty woman -present re plied with perhaps as much of philosophy as wit: "Why should we take these people out of such Arcadian simplicity?

Christian Science Mothers Send Children Out to Snrvad Contagion. With how much violence that vagary known by an assortment of names such as "Faith Cure," "Mind Cure" and "Christian Science' for despite the fine distinctions which the followers of these fads make among themselves there is no question that in the end all these things come to about the same thing, despite whatever dissimilarity of title has broken out in Chicago I have no espe cial knowledge, but a phase of the mat ter which has recently presented itself to Boston is likely to cause a good dpal of trouble and not a little hardness be fore all is said. There has been some wonder expressed at the spread among the children of the city who are i lost carefully guarded from contagions dis eases of such ailments as ecarletjver, chicken pox, whooping cough and the like. It is now evident that the chief i - tor in the distribution of these troubles has been the children of the Christian Sci ence theorists. There are a number of instances known in which persons whoso children have been afflicted with ; tagious diseases luve Jr i thenvgo r.i:n. strictedly among their usual r "because of course there is no real dis ease and there can be no such tiling as contagion. The children imagine they are sick, but it wld be foolis encourage that fancy ih them by si,. . them off from others." On this T : itiful basis of logic is based the plan Hlowing the children to spread cou n unrestricted. . fine scene was enacted in an , coming into town from the sab ic la. week. A woman who is of s standing and whose husband is a m, wealth started to come into town, e little daughter had a Blight case of i carV lauiia, mo mot tier, t course, insisting that there was really :flrniing the matter except that the child's imagination was somewhat astray; and wishing to keep the patient under her influence Mrs. Blank took her along into the car bound for town. Unluckily for tho Christian Scientist, when she got into the car she found there a physician who lives close by her and who was aware of the state of the case. There were children ill tho car, and when the mother and daughter appeared ho sprang up and called to the conductor to stop. "Mrs. Blank," he said, "you cannot . bring that child into this car. She has tho scarlatina and should not bo out. You shall not expose the other children here if yon do not choose to take proper care of your own child." The sensation may be imagined." Mrs. Blank at first refused to leave the car and the other mothers began inconti nently to hurry their offspring ont at the most remote door, but the physician' stood Ids ground. "I am very sorry, His. Blank," he said, "but I cannot let this thing go on. I shall be forced to call a policeman if you persist, and I beg that you will nut force me to do that." She attempted to explain that tho child really had nothing the matter with her beyond the distortion of her fancy, but he still insisted that the child's dis ordered fancy should lie taken home and put to bed. The conductor joined in roughly, declaring that the car could not wait forever, and that if the doctor did not call a policeman he wutild. Ir the end Mrs. Blank had to return home, where she was soon visited by a health officer, who put her in quarantine. Sbi probably looks upon herself as a martyr in the cause of truth, but there is a gen eral feeling against her which would possibly make her anything but com fortable were it made manifest to her. Fortunately, the type of all these dis eases for the last two years has been light here, a fact for which the Christian Scientists take all the credit to them selves. Parents whose children have had to lose their schools for tho winter through the willfulness of these cranks, however, are not inclined to accept this theory as a sufficient compensation for the damage done. Boston Cor. Chicago Tribune. Awed a Whole Troop. Through Passenger Conductor Bur!:", of the Pittsburg and Western, tan some very, very fresh theatrical peop a j lesson not long ago. They were en route from Alleghany to New Castle, an twelve male members of the troop . .v"! iu the smoking car and acted not i o dj as if they owned it, but the ( htire I ro.. i and a good slice of the earth. 1 h y douoled up several seats and proceeil I . to indulge in a boisterous game of " poker. Assistant Superintendent Y, li liains chanced to be on tho train, and iu ' passing through the car noticed their i conduct and remonstrated. They paid I little attention to him except to abuse him, and applied a vile name to him af ter he had passed out. Somebody re ported this to Conductor Burke, who tips the beam at 220 and whose muscles are hard as iron. He went back to where the barn stormers were bidding high revelry, and walking up to the crowd, broke out: "You fellows called Superintendent Williams a dirty name when lie was not in hearing. Now I am here and I want you to understand you can't call me that and that I won't permit such con duct on this train. I am running it, and I intend to run it, and 1 will allow no interference from such a gang as you. Why, I can whip the whole crowd of you one by one. If you don't believe it I will sidetrack tho train and any one of you can step off and I will show you. Why, there isn't a man among you. I want you to understand this noise has got to be stopped, and you will have to behave as gentlemen." Not one of the ranters dared bit a hand against the sandy conductor ;ir ho towered above them and adminjatered the tongue lashing, and from that ou they were quiet and not another-card was turned until they arrived at New Castle Junction.
