The tuberculosis congress at Paris dis
cussed obligatory cremation of bodies of
consumptives with rather startling re-
- salts. It was asserted that earthworms
bring to the surface bacilli, which; in
dry weather spread the infection as dust.
This fact was proved by placing earth
worms on the graves of victims of ron
sumption. The worms became tubercu-
;lar and communicated the disease! to
animals It was suggested that this was
'why certain health resorts in Southern
Europe are centers of tubercular con;
jtagion.
Y In France and Italy there is an fpi-

! The preliminary report of the opera

, the last fiscal year shows total collec
tions of $1 CI, 002,000, an increase of $7,
145.000. j The treasury department has sent out

For the first time sinco the passage of
the Sherman silver purcliase law, the
treasury dejartuient in July failed to
buy the full quota of 4,500.0iib ounces of
silver. The total purchase for the
month was S.384,000 ounces.
Representative Springer thinks con
gress will be in session ouly a few weeks,
:hat the silver question will be put in a
popular siu-pe in that time, and that a
commiitee to revise the tariff for the
winter congress will be selected to work
in the interim.
The treasury officials state that the
treasury is prepared to supply all the
small currency wanted, and the lack of
such currency in certain sections of the
country is accounted for on the theory
that much of it is hoarded by those who
receive it, thus withdrawing it from
active citculation.
The department of justice has ordered

but it is regarded at the treasury as a
makeshift and impracticable.
No more silver certificates will be
issued by the treasury department for
the present, as the limit prescribed by
Inn V. 1 V 1 . . . . ......
; many silver certificates are now out

Senator Morgan cables his son that it
will be impossible for him to leave Paris
before Aug. 19. This postponement is
two weeks beyond the time originally
set for his- departure. Several days ago
the senator was booked for a passage on
the steamer sailing Aug. 5. This was
taken as a sign that the verdict of the
arbitrators iu the Bering sea case would
be rendered previous to that date. From
the language of his cablegram it seems
that Senator Morgan in doubtful whether
the arbitrators will have finished their
duties by the 19th. . , .

C. P! Huntington, president of the
Southern Pacific, says of the financial
situation: "If congress will repeal the
Sherman act and make $10 legal tender
of silver and not allow any paper issued
under $". that would put a lage amonnt
of silver in circulation. Then let the
government issue $000,000,000 in gold
bonds, bearing interest not exceeding 3
per cent., tliey to be used as collateral
for the national currency, and let the
banks have par in currency on the old
4's. This would restore confidence,
make money plenty, and. I believe, be
a good thing for silver. I am for silver,
but I don't believe the best interests of
silver lie in buying 4.500.000 ounces of
it in a month. Silver is the poor man's
currency and has been for ages and al
ways will be. I believe that when the
commercial world understands that the
United States is not going arbitrarily to
bull the price of silver, they will very
soon call a halt and ask what legislation
can be brought about to use silver in a
way to be of the greatest benefit to the
great mass of people throughout the
world."
Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls says of the
business outlook: "This day is balmy
and sunshiny in comparison with the
Storms and clouds just ahead cf us. The
result will be the redistribution of the
assets of the country. Tho millionaire
of today will occupy the pauper hut and
the pauper will iu tho near future ride
in the chariot of the millionaire. Colo
rado and other mvieral states should be
blotted" out as Suites and addeu'to the
Great American desert. The devasta
tion of yellow fever in the South was
not near as disastrous as the situation in
Colorado produced by the closing of the
mines. Thousands of people are walk
ing the streets of Denver like the lowly
Nazariue. Foxes have holes and the
birds of the air have nests, but the Col
orado tramp has no ploce to lay luS
head. On every street corner in Denver
goes up the piteous cry for bread. In
Wall street the piteous cry goes up for
gold." "When these two panicky condi-
tions come together in the great Missis
sippi valley chaos and anarchy will ful
low."

The severity of British justice was
well illustrated at Northampton the
other day. where a trial for murder was
in progress. The jury having been per

room, one of their number took this op
portunity to step out and post a letter.
The judge, hearing of this, promptly
gave the offending jurora strong lectors
and fined him f50. He dismissed the
fury, and a new one was impaneled.
