The doctor thon introducod mo into
bis laboratory, where, inserted in glass
tubvs, tbo bacilli were Been at rest, and
where tbo cultivation of tbo bacilli
was in successful progress. "As you
see," said tbo dootor, "thoy resemble
in no way tbo cholera microbe, but
liavo many points of resemblance with
tho bacilli of pneumonia discovered by
Dr. j riedlander.'
I then carefully examined tho bacilli
in tbo glass tuba stopped with cotton
and half full oi gelatin. On top of
the gelatin I noticed what with tho
naked eye looked like a milky white
pot, round in form. In the mio.o-
scope I saw small animalonlie, elliptic
form and sharply dehnod. The
great majority were yellow in color,
but in tne largest and oldeBt tne cas
sock shaped heads were dark blue.
They were lying parallel and very
close to eaob other.
DIPFEKEHT FROM TIIF. C110I.EBA MI
CROBES.
Then the dootor showed me a tube
containing Asiatic obolora microbes,
whioh looked like tine threads and dif
fered in every way from the influenza
bacilli. As Been turougli the micro
scope, tho cholera microbe resembles
an infinitesimal comma. "I hope,'
said the doctor, "that tho Times will
accentuate tho absolute difference in
form and naluro between the two nni-
malculiu, because it is still generally
beleived that tbo influenza is a fo.o-
runner of cholera', which belief I think
we havo BCientilioal'y disposed of.
Now, on tho otber hard, the influenza
bacilli and tho pneumonia baoilli are
undoubtedly of tbe same family and
analogous.
"When I was shown the bacilli of
pneumonia, discovered and cult'vated
by Dr. Friedlauder, they were less
brilliant and less yellow in color and
not nearly so olliplio in form and also
much larger, with heads quite as oleri
cal looking as those of the i illuenza
bacillus. In the case of the inniicnza
bacillus one does not seo the gaioous
bubbles to bo seen in the gelatino In
which the pneumonia baoilli is culti
vated."
1'ItErARlHO FOB INOCULATION.
Looking around at this point I no
ticed various sized jars, resembling
those in which last spring two of M,
Pasteur's talented assistants endeavor
ed to cultivate, attentuato and prepare
for inoculation purposed the baoilli of
diphtheria. "I see, doctor," I remark
ed, "that yon are gcllins; at the prao
tical sido of the discovery. When
will you begin vacoination, or rather
inoculation against influenza!''
"Well, I have no idea, but would
not like to think that that happy pro.
cess is postponed to the Greek Kal
end". Had you not noticed our pro
parations I would not havo spoken of
oar attempts iu that direction at all,
a? up to the present they havo not
been very sitHfao'ory. Wo had bred
the bacilli and altentuatcd satisf actor
ily the virus, but our first case of in 00
illation killed the patient, a rabbit, on
whom wo tried it rooeutly. He died
immediately of blood-poisoning.

SKETCH OK HIS LIKE.
Adam Forepauch, proprietor of tho
well known circus and monar'jrio
known as Foropaugh's Actareiration,
was born in Philadelphia Fob. 28, 1831
He bogan Hfo an a butcher boy in tho
employ of ono John Hiuckle, at a sal
ory of 84 a month and his board. At
tho ago of lu ho ran away from home
and wont to work for John Uutoher,
a butcher in Oincinati, who is still liv
ing in Crawfordaville, Ind. Young
Adam remained in his omploy for a
yoar and a half.
Leaving Cinoinnali, ho entorod tbe
employ of John Gray, a butohor and
norso dealer. Jioturnlng to I'hiladol-
pbia, he was in the butcher business up
to 1848, when ho ombaaked in runing
stage linos and continued thoroin up
to 1854. While in the omnibus busi
ness Mr. Forepaugh dealt in horses and
cattle, and bought and sold in a singlo
year as many as 10,000 horsos. In
1801 he sold John O'linen, who was
runing a small wagon show, Bixty.two
horses for S9,000, and took as part
payment an interest in the show.
At this timo Mr. Forepangh had no
idea of permanently embarking in tho
show busbies, but, visiting tho O'Brien
snow in ntiBburg, ho purchased tho
eamo. and, buying Jerry Mabie's me
nagorio, combined tho two, whioh for
med the nucleus of the great Forepaugh
show. Tho Mabie purchase consisted
of two clophants and eight animals,
for whioh ho paid $12,000, and tho
property was delivered to him nt Twel
fth and Slato streets, flhioago, on tho
vory day oi tho assassination of Abra
ham Lincoln,
Desiring a name to attract patronage
Dan Rica was secured at a salary of
$1,000 a week for thirty weeks, and
at this figure he remained in Mr. Foro
paugh's employ for three seasons. For
eight years the earnings of the show
wore invested in its enlargement. Mr.
Forepaugh increased tho number of
oagea on oxhibition nntil they number
ed twenty, when the veteran managers
declared that ho was on the road to
ruin. Next tho number was increased
to thirty, and at last to forty-four.
Up to 1870 tho aggregation had
moved by wagon but having now
reached buoIi gigautio proportions ho
had constructed his own trains of
sleeping, ooach, flat, box and stock
cars, as well as a epeoial oar for the
transportation of his business agents
and advertisers. Of lato years Mr.
Forepaugh had increased his inenag.

of ancient Rome and Greece, and ex

cients were celebrated.
It was his boasts that he "owob,
controls and exhibits more wild ani

show property than any other single
person or hrm in tho world. It is a
remarkable fact that during Mr. Foro

Harrison liolt Hi ldleoergo:, ex-

g, after a long illness. His death
was expected for several days. His
family were present when bo died.
Harrison 11. Kiddleberger, of Wood
stock, was born in Edenburgh, Shenan
doah county, Va., Oct. 4, 1844; receiv
ed a common sorool education and
had a homo preceptor for two years;

had been editor of three newspapers,
tho Tenth Legion, tho Shenandoah

He was a member of tho Btato com

dross, in tho oonrso of which ho said:
"Aftor referring to tho great .cud of a
uniform system of road-making in tho
Stato, that tho Logislaturoa of fie past
havo boon largely rosponsiblo fur tho
present condition of our highways.
Tho statutes on this subj ot havo b en
bo altered, amended and othertviio
obansod that no tnr.n in one county
could toll what tho road law was in an
adjoining county.
Tha present road laws had for their
basis tho aot of 1830. Tho Legisla
ture whioh convened in that year was
ono of the best that had over met.
Thoy acted on many vital public quoj
tiona and among others laid tho found
ation for our road laws of tho present.
But they had legislated for half a cen
tury ago. ' Tho btato waa thon in its
infancy. Many of tho counties which
wero thon an unbroken wildornoss, aro
now densely populated. Tho condi
tions of our civilization havo changed,
and, admitting that tho aot of 1830
was a wise one, the laot remains that
wo havo grown out of tho old condi
tion of things and must meet tho new
ono Willi adequato legislation. To

binding obligations of tbe first section

Cheater County they have half adoz m
ystems ot road making. Nearly
every township has its own system,
pnd thu lawyers of that county havo
oitnd it necessary to codify theso laws
and make them a separate study.
"Wo must raako up our minds, con
tinued Governor Beaver, "that evory
township cannot have its own Bcparato
road laws: every county cannot have
ita own system. It is not desirable
that thoy should.
STATE ROADS FAVORED.
The Govorner stated aa his belief
that there should be a series of State
roads constructed to follow old lines of
ighwaya. Theso Stato roads should
be supported by the Commonwealth
Ho had driven over about 450 miles ot
roads in this State in his carringo with
his boys, and while he impressed them
with the fact that Pennsylvania was
tbe greatest State in tbe Union, he
was compelled to admit that it had the
worst roads of any. ( Laughter and
applause ). With rcforenco to county
roads, tbo highways radiating lrom
their principal cities and towns, ho
said tho counties tdiould construct and
maintain them. It would be a safe
plan to place tho construction of all
theso throughfares under tbe supervi
sion of a oomoetent county engineer,
to be appointed by tbe Courts of Quar
ter Sessions. With reference to tho
neoessary legislat:on, members of the
Legislatuio must not act looking to
the number of votes which thoy expect
to bo cast for their ro-eleotion. This
was a matter in which tho Legislature
must bo abreast of tho times. The
State Board of Agricultnro and all
other organizations interested in this
question must back np members of tho
Legislature who vote to improve tho
road laws, and thus encourage the on
nctment of necessary laws for tho im
provoment ot tho highways.

Letter Prom Cleveland.
A letter from ox-Prosldont Cloveland
was read Friday last at tha concluding
sossion of tho Custom Cutlers, national
convention at Chicago. Tho full toxt
was aa follows:
G, II. Hunton, Esq., Proaldont-7?;ar
Sir: I thank you for Bonding rao your
address mado at tho convention of tho
Custom Foreman Tailor's association
mid I have read tho samo with interest.
Tho question of tariff directly affects
all tho puoplo of tho land in a substan
tial way, and thev oug!it to bo interes
ted in lis (lisoiis'ioii. I am afraid that
n great many of our fo'low citizens aro
too ant to regard this ns a political
question, inlrionltt and oomplox, affect
ing them in a rctnoto way, and ono
whioh may well enough bo left for
polltiolana' to wranlo over. This in-
iuoes a neglect of tho subi jct on tho
part of a great tumbor of our ticoplo
and willingness to blindly follow tho
inriy to which they Happen to belong
n their action upon it. It is a good
sign to bco practical men, such as bo
long to your asooiation, dlsoussing tho
question for thomsolvea. If this ia
dono intelligently and with aincore in
terest to scctiro tho truth, tariff refor
mers, I think, havo no ncod to foar tho
sesult of such disouasion. Very truly
yours, GnovEit Cleveland.
This ioltor was wntteb in a reply to
the ono by Mr. Hunton, president of
thu cutlers' association, asking for somo
statomont on tho tariff question, as it
affectod tho tailors. An exactly similar
letter was sent to President Harrison,
but as yet, no reply has boon receivod.
After tho letter had beon road the con
vention cxtondod ita thanks to Mr.
Cleveland.
Pineapple for Diphtheria'
Recently a papor printed tho import
ant announcement that tho juico of tho
pmcapplo ia a euro for diphtheria, nud
asserted further that tho fact ia noth
ing new; tho Creoles of tho Bouth havo
long kuown of tho value of pineapplo
juioo in tho treatment of dread diseas
es.
Ono man Bays ho administered tho
juico to his soven year old boy, who
was in great distress tor breath, nna
four hours thereafter tbo patient bogan
to cough up tho diphtheric membralne.
Another says ho used the 11110a in tho
oaso of his six year old daughter, who
was dangerously ill with diphtheria.
Ha says ho induced tho little sufferer
to tako tho juice through a medicine
tube, and withinjtwo or throe hours sho
began coughing up small bits of tho
membrane
As tho diphtheritic mombraino which
grows in theair passages ia of a foun-
gum umimuiur, puysiuiuus iiuvu uu
.along recogoized tho fact that if somo
acid could oa applied that if some acid
could be applied that would disinte
grate tho membrano without attaoking
tho mucous aurfacos the disease could
be readily controled. It wonld bo
g.atifving. bat not -garorlsinSa. if tho
simple juico of the pineapplo should
become established as a speciho for the
enro of diphtheria. It would simply bo
confirmation of tho theory that naturo
has euro for every ill. In tho applica
tion 01 pineapple juico lor diphtheria,
parents should, of course, consult tho
family physioian. No progressive
doctor will slight new discoveries in
any hold medicine, and experiment
with the allged cure should be supple
mented to regular course of treatment
prescribjd by tbo lessons of medical
experience.
Wo havo expeoted it evej smco tin
mines were discovered in Dakota. Tin
has always been on the free list on tho
ground that there was none of il in this
oountry. The American owners of tho
Dakota tin mines have now formally
filed Iheir claim for protection. Wo
say the American owners advisedly for
these mines nave been eold in England
and while the ownership is nominally
in American companies it is really in
English capitalists. The object of tho
duty will bo to raise tho pneo of block
tin and wo havo no doubt that this
object will bo attaiued, so that the im
mediate result of the discovery of a
now metal in this country will bo that
it will cost ns more than il did when
wo had to bring it from tho other sido
of tho world. Wo are of course infor
med, that tho Dakota tin miners get
S2.50 a day while the miners in Corn
wall get 75 cents, and we presume that
miners ot the straits seltlemants work
for nothing and board themselves.
But we learned last summer from tho
New York Tribune that copper minod
in Montana by men who got 53.50 a
day was carried all tho way to London
and thero sold for a cent a pound les3
than the Spanish coppor mined by men
who got 80 cents a day could be sold
lor.
Wo havo been asked why tho au
thors of tho Constitution incorporated
in it tho electoral collogo methods of
choosing a President. Tho gentlemen
who preparod tho Constitution had for
tho most part no vory groat confidonoo
in tho intelligence and character of the
masses of tbo people, and, with somo
exceptions thoy did not feel liko trust
ing tho people directly with tho power
of bclectiug tho president They evi
dently had no idea that the popular
will would make tho elootoral collogo
devico a moro form, as it did very
early in our history. Their idea was
that a body of eminent man, selected
tor the purpose, would inako a moro
judicious and careful selection of Presi
dent than Congress or a poptua' con
vention would. It was mtendod that
tho oleotoral collego should not meroly
register the will of tho people, but
should assemble uninstructed and
make its own froo and indopondont
cholco of President and Vico Presi
dent. Another reason for providing
an olectorlnl collego was that tho
fathers of tho Republio knew nothing
abont national conventions,' and of
courso saw the impossibility of mass
conventions of tho peoplo of whole
States, and saw in tho electoral collogo
a representative body small enough to
