York, Feb. 8. —Within the lifetime
cf tbe present genera io ,pneu nonia his ;n
--rrea--'i in the United States to an exten
t , at makes it almost a national scourge. In
tU , iarge l- cities it is specially dreaded. The
mortality li'ts show th it it is resp oisible
f or a very iarge pr .portioi of deatas, and
scie C e pas thus far been apparently un
availing in restricting its ravages. In a
inajori yof cases, even the most skilled
phvsic.aus acknowledge themselves power
less to do more than soothe the sufferer,
as the disease, once begun, must run its
course.
Lately public attent’on has been specially
directed t > this modern scou ge, which has
come to be re cog iz das the natural sequel
of many of tne miider forms of lung
trouble. N t m many years has death
mad so ida a swath among the ranks of
tbe famous as duri ig the present winte .
Both here and in Eu ope the wave of p ,eu
nionia that foil > ed in the wake of la
grippe carried ff hund eds who were emi
pint in all tne notable paths of life—kings,
sava: ts, authors and statesmen alike. For
weeks toe press in imost every Arueri an
cit v printed long and omi ous uaily lists of
the dead. If ever a visitation of cholera or
yello-v fever had produced ni -quarter of
the number of deaths directly traceable to
pneumonia in any one season, the com
niu ity ould h ve been panic-str.cken.
There is a very ge eral movement on the
pa-t of tne medical fraternity here and
else.'here >o devote tbe fullest investigation
to pneumonia a 1 and its train of kindred dis
eases as the most important question that
affects the public health at the present time.
It miv presently be expected to occupy a
le ding place as a topic in the medical jour
nals and among hospital studies. There
aro already several undred works upon
the subject, mainly European, but only a
few are text books, and even these are in
adequate.
Ye-terday I called upon one of Now
Yoik’s most distinguish and physician*. Dr.
Thomas Theodore Janeway, and talked
witn hi about 'he remarkable growth ot
this deadly di ease.
“Pi eumonia is a comparatively recent
name for what was known fifty ye irs ag
under a var ety of and fferent designations,”
lie -a.d. “It is the same with diphtheria,
which many people regard us anew disease;
but it isn’t. It is identical wi han ailment
which some four or five centuries ago was
known a* the ‘Syrian sore thr a because
it was thought to have beeu imported to
E irope from Syria.
“To bat causes do you attribute the re
markable increase of pneumonia?”
“It is chiefly due toourcuauged habits of
life and to tue high-pre-sure civilizat.o of
the age we are living in,” he replied. “The
higher the civilization the more liable we
are to diseases Wtile I believe that on the
whole men and women are better physi
cally to- lay than they we e in the time of
our forefathers, still there are ina iy*e ler
vating habits contracted aid many debili
tating usages. Men are, perhaps, more
liable to diseases from these causes than
women. It is one of the penalties of a high
pressure civilization.
“It would be tedious to enumerate the
causes that pr duce such effects. Our pe i
ple live in rooms hea ed by ste im or by
furnaces, and illy ventilated; indeed, not
infrequently fresh air is almost shu out
from superheated dwellings. Late h urs
and improper food have, I thin , verv lit
tle to do with it, although, of coarse, they
help along tue general deterioration. The
habit of promiscuo is drinking has to do
with it a great deal. It may not act
directly on the individual, but the
next generation feels the effects. In
this way hereditary and nerioration is
established. There is a const* t influx of
bright men from the country districts to
the cities, and their families very ofte i
amount to nothing, from the cause I have
indicated. How fe v brilliant men of the
la t generation have children anyway equ il
to themselve-.? if there is any deteriora ion
in the race, il is in the citie*. But it woul i
be unjust to claim, bee use of numerous
instances, that the whole race is therefore
dete lor t ug."
“Is it among this class that the national
disease find -i s readiest su jectsf”
“Unquestionably. Now, a great deal
has be *n said lately concern! ig the ondi
tion of the blood in diseases like the grippe,
consumption and pneum nia. The fact is
tbe condition of the bl o 1 in a maj rity of
diseases u s ill a debatable qies im. By
tha I mean t at it is not at all settled that
it really u dergoes any radical change in
any of the lung diseases.”
“You have read of the discovery bv
Professo Weichselbaum of Vienna of the
grip bacillus?”
“Yes.” with a smile. “I am not prepared
to either give assent or denial to the report.
The professor is a wel-known lavnt, but
he cannot be placed in the sums category
as Koch. I should not care to con
sider as serious any alleged discov
ery that was not conducted on a
thorough and scientific plan of inves
tigation. The bacillus of consumption has
been fully investigated and is well defined;
but the experiments wit 1 the bacillii of
pneumonia are yet in their infancy. Tie
system of prodpeing these minute bacillii
by the culture process is an extremely deli
cate oue and calls for great skill.”
“Now that the grip is about over, what
s your conclusion as to its real character?”
“The grip is pure influeuza—nothing
else.”
“There are many people living in the in
terior, far from any la ge city, who find it
impossible to call in the aid of skilled phy
sicians when attack -d by pneumonia. Can
you i.ot furnish a few practical hints for
such cases?”
“A few simple rules might be laid down.
On the first appearaice of the disease, the
patient should i o put to bed immediately,
and ot allowed to leave it until the danger
is over. H • should e given a small and 'Se of
calomel. This should bo followed by
Brown’s Mixture, or the compound liquor
ice mixture, as it is called in the pbarma
copia. Two grains of qui fine every
three hours will keep down the
fever. Milk or light broth every two
or three hours should be given. The room
should be kept at a u iform te nperature o.'
about 70°, and ventilated from tha a Ijuin
ing r om, so as not to subject the patient to
a draught. A woolen cloth should be
thrown over the chest, but the patient inns
not be smothered with pillows. A blister
might be placed on the chest whom the
pain is most intense. It can bo troatod
with sweet oil or vaselino wbu it is de
sired to remove it As little stimulants ns
possible should bo given, unless the patient
is weak; but this is roidoin the cn.su with
peopleinthe country.
“Pneumonia,” added Dr. Jnneway, "gen
erally begins with a chill, followed af.er
twenty-four hours by a high temperat ire,
a pain in tbe side, through the back or
under the arm-pit. The pain is generally in
tbe right side. As it i creases it becomes
harder for the patient to breathe, a id bis
respirations are deep aid difficult. It is ne
compan ed by a ‘pumping’ headache, F i 1
more ranid breathing and a tlis ed and
noxious face, the features bel g drawn a id
haggard abou the lips and the skin of the
mu h. ibere is a high fever; the sufferer
is res less and sometimes delirious.
“1 don’t thin - it is p ssibio to adopt ab
scluie precautions for avoiding pneum mia.
After it has begun it must ruu its c urse,
-iko all other contagious diseas ‘s. Old peo
ple are specially liable to it and those who
ere dissipat’d. It finds its easiest victims
among those who drink heavily, and a
habitus’, drunkard has sm li chance of re
covery. Ttien, agai i, tue e are ot ers pe
culiarly lia le, such a. blacksm ths, bakers
fi/vme i and f etory ua d*. aid th se w ,o’
are exposed to t e extremes of heat an i
Coll ii their dady lab r.”
“Wnat is the simplest an 1 most available
trealmmc for bronchitis—mpp mg the
I*, lent io be where uwd.eal aid cannot be
quick y secured?”
“Well,we will - uppose a mild case—that is,
an ordinary case. Li.tie treatment is neces
sary, byy ndgivin: a mixture of muriate
of ammonia, a little bmmme and svrup f
ginger. These should be administered every
two hours in small doses. A tonic, such as
e.ixir • f iron, wme an 1 quinine sno lid also
be iven. The chest should be rubbed with
alcohol and tu pe itine, aid a mustard
piaster or a bli-ter u -d if there is pain.
The patient must be k pt quiet in the house.
The diet si ould I>e mild and not full while
th- trouble re uains.
“I would vary the treatement in severe
raises, beginning with a mustar t plater or
blister and rubbing tue chest.’ as I have
ftlroadv su-gest and. Should there be fe>er,
give either aati-pvr.ne in s nail doses—sav
live and >ses every four hours—or five grains
of quinine every four hours. I£ the patient
is weak, a milk pmch may be given twice
a day. Some nourishing soup Can be given
everv two hoars.
“Bronchitis is due altogether to cold.
Pe pie get it from innaling verv old air.
Tno-e who have a tendency to colds, or peo
ple w .o inhale hot air, steam, or vapors,
sue i as bromide or chlorine gas, are subject
to it. Very oft-n sewer gas will cause i.
It is the irritating properties of these
fumes that get into the lungs, or rather
into tbe tub s leading to the lungs, and
thoso that are located in the lungs them
selves. Pneumonia, on the other ha and, is in
the substance of the lungs, aud in the blood
vessel J .
“Old people and children are more lia le
to bronchitis than others. T .in persons
who co lie from co isu uptive stock, too. arc
ope i to it, aud s > with people who live mu h
indoors a ul have to g i ou and >ors to get to

are hardened against it. The condition of
the tubes during au attack < f bronchitis

peara co .id shows the s cr-tions of th ■
lining membrane and the exudation of mu
cous.”
In diphtheria, the treatment is so varied,
■ iwing to the di * ersity of opinio i ano ;g
medical men regardi ig the disease, hat it
can be safely sai 1 no two physicians in
New York ag- ee on the subj ct. Even the

LEFT BEHIND AT THE HOTEL
Some of the Matters Ove. looked by
Hurried and Forgetful Travelers.
From, the Few York Sun.
Every hotel in New York has a storeroom
for valuable! and articles left be.iind by
gu’sts. In such hotels as the Aster, the
Fifth Avenue, the Sinclair, the H ffmin,
nd hotels further up town, a set of books
is kept in which are jit toil down descrip
tions of the goods forgitten by absent
mi ided and hurried one*. Where tle hotel
doss a vast amount of transient business it
is simetimes difficult to arrange the goods
for fu ure identification. In such cases the
integrity of servants mast be the guarantee,
ad tus is strictly relied upon. Imme
diately afte ■ the rooms are vacated the
c lumberman! tuk s te up vary possession.
She gathers up tne goods iefc behind by t ie
lit oocupa it a id hands them over to the
clerk. He looks on the register and tags
the packages and articles with the name of
the guest and the num ier of the r o n he
occupied on the day of departure. All
loose notes are then transcrib'd into the
bo >ks kept for such b isi ie s. If the guest
is well known at ths hotel and the a Tides
found a ter his depa lure are extremely
valuable, he is im nediateiy notiliel and re
quested to .dontify the pr iperty. Oth >■•-
wise the go ds are k pt until his next visit.
“We’ve got a nightshirt >f y urs down
stairs,” is perhaps the fi st salutation to
so ne guest as he clutches the pen and starts
to register.
“We’ve got a toothbrush and a pair of
shoes of vours here. Sand ’em up?” is the
greeting that some other out-of-to >n p .tron
of the house receives.
t |“You left a pair of trousers behind last
time,” is huried at mother.
if there is a wo nan in the case the house
keep r is notified from the desk when tne
husband registers, aud pret v soon the
housekeeper ku >cks on th • dmr of the
couple’s apartme t, and t- le wife is informed
tnat on her last visit she forgot her bustle,
or a bunch of hair, or a chemise, or a petti
coat. Tbe ga nut of a woma .’s lingerie is
run, for w unen are quite as forgetful as
men. The hous keeper usually visits the
room witn the missing articles and hands
ta-m over on the spot.
Tnere is scarcely a hotel in New’ Y rk
that could .’t start an umbrella shop.
Everybody seems to forget an umbrella.
Go to any hotel in sown and tell the propri
etor that you th mghtlessly left oie bdii id
while at the h tel be will summon the
porter and direct him 1 1 take out the lost
umbrei as. Pretty soon tbe porter is head
ing for you, scigge ing u ider a great 1 >ad
of umbrellas. There are cott >n one-, ging
hams, and articles of the finest silk, with
gold and silver ha dies. No par
ticular or formal oath is necessary
to identify an umbrella. If you see
one that is at all like tne one
you left behind, seize it and hold fast to it.
The propriet >r doe* not and can ot demur.
If he kept strict account of all the umbrellas
left in his es.alili-hm mt his b
wouldn’t have anytni ig else to do. A i old
customer told Landlord As man of the
Sinclair house the other night in tne rash
time that he had forgotten his umbrella a
few nights before aud had left ii in the
dining room. Air. Ashman thereupon
ordered the porter to i ring out the lost
umbrellas. There was a handcart load of
them.
It is a particularly interes ing fact that
mmy dia noud rings are left behind by
guests. They are u.-ually found on the
wash.stamis. The lad es are tie chief de
linquents in .his respec:. Before washing
their uauds they pull uff their rings and
lay them on the washstand. In the hurry
to get to the dining room, preparatory to
leaving on the next train, the rings are fre
quently fo gotten. Sometimes tiay are
very valuable. Tnere have be-n frequsnt
instances wnere wnole boxes of jewels hi ve
been forgotten. Tnese invariably find
their way to the clerk’s desk, and
the ownei'3 are soon founa. Watc ies
innumerable are found under pillows,
having been put there by guests on retiring
and overlooked ii the rush of the m r i g.
Many pocketbooks, soma of them substan
tially line 1 witn greenbacks, are forgotten,
often no doubt to th • em arrassme it of the
owner. It is not co isidered by well-regu
lated minds to be first-chop comfort to find
yourself tearing away from tow i on u No v
York Central or a Pe insylvania flyer with
out a copper. Bu telegraph, if the opera
tor will trust you, and the w diet will be
hurried after you either by express or regis
tered mail.
Thou there are gold pencils, gloves,
shoes, bats, coats, overcoats, ey eg lasso ■,
spirit lamps, shirt stu is, powder boxs and
hand glasses. Oie enterprisi ig citizen for
got his gripsack and everything in it tbe
other night. A lother left without a valu
able set of surgieil instruments. There are
m re tooth brushes forgotten in New York
hotels in a week than any shop in New
Y rk can replace on she instant. Slippers,
cuffs and collars enough to start a haber
dasher’s shop, ladies stockiugs of silk and
all other textures, night dresses of lace
and plain, canes, workbaskets, trusses,
b xitjacks, rubber coats, b. ace ets, opera
glasses, ladies’hats, entire suits of cl ithes,
ladies’ ctoaks, fur sacques, fans, syringes,
Bibles, sermons, dress waists, garters, cor
sets, earrings, these and hundreds of other
articles m ike up the year’s collections in
the big bo els of New Y rk. When the
• wuor is not fou dt ie poods are usually
k-pt a year. No hotel clerk in town seems
to know what becomos of tbern after that.

THE NEW NECESSITY.
And Hew It / Ceded Deacon Jones.
Old Deicon Jones lived on an ancest-al
farm up among the New Hampshire hit s.
Deicin Jones was a man of extreme iu
heri ed [ iety, a man who accepted w.thout
hesitation the doctriuos of hisc u -c'u. By
a process of ur.co seioux growth, aided
parti by his greater interest in politic’ and
partly by hi- devotion to those men whom
he had bee me accustomed to r> gard as
leaders indispensable to tiie c urse of s fe
and wise government, the deacon's faith In
tne Re( übln an party had become fully as
intense as bis faitb in the tenets of his
church. At the death or retirement of the
old leaders of the republicans, he fund
hini’e f—how, he himself could not explain
—-i w rshipper at ti e shri e of James G.
Blaine. Him tbe deacon followed, irust.-U,
looked to as to an oracle; aud with what
strange consequences I am about to relate.
Tiie gnol.dd deacon ej need at the defeat
of Grant in 1880, exulted in the bumiiia.ion
of Conkling in 1581, grumbled at the princi
pal ac sof the Art .u admiuistrati n, cele
brated tbe result of the Chicago convention
of 1884 with a week’s rejoicing, and fasted
for ten days after the ensuing . lection. Of
course the good old man had shed mauy
tears over the hardships of the emancipated
neg o, had tremble i at the thought of being
taxed to pay confederate debts, and had be
come a firm believer in and un excitable
defender of the system which, as we are
told, ma ;es diversity of industries possible
ii this country, and prevents the ina ieio is
E ig.i’hman from covering our terrafirma
aud iKilliting iur "lira air with floods of
ins cheap g ods. Of course h • had snout ’d
for "Harrison and V.ct.iry,” and had de
c ared uis willingness to sacrifice Out aud
Blut to compass tne defeat of Cleveland and
Tu.irma . Da con Jones had taken con
siderable cimfoit after B.aine returned
from Europe, althougn that able < ampaign
speaker had t. ighte .ed him considerably by
depicting t io ua ger w bich, in the shape <if
t e Mills bill, hovered over New England
farmers. The deacon had ten very flue
cows, and tbe fear of the threatened de
struction < f our “dairy interests,” take i
with ids feeble health, had kept him in a
state of terrible anxiety.
Ail un .ealt iv New E lglaml deaesn is a
rarity, and Deacon Jones had always be m a
strong, temperate, a di idustnous ma i until
last . lut r, w.irfti be received a shook from
which he never re overed. It was ’t a
shook of paralysis, but it was the s.iock of
learning that his oracle had and dared to
bacco a necessity of life. It took away the
pleasure be should have received from read
ing a complete refutation and demolition of
the President's message. At first lie thought
it was ail a mistake; but no, there was tne
great message from Pa is, in his dear old
Tribune—a thirty years’ stand-by! And
here was the deacon, who had uotonlv ah
stained from the use of tobacc > for a life
time, but had forbidden his bovs to use it,
thus compelling them tosm .ke ad chew on
the sly! He fasted, prayed, thought it all
over, and came to the conclusion that hi
oracle coukl make no mistake, but tha
Deacon Jones had willfully a ,and -i ifully de
prived himself and his family of the benefits
to i e derived from the use of one of the
most palatable and nourismng off. od-.
He cal eJ his sons ar ■ nd him a. and said:
“B’ys, I’ve ben a sinnin’ agiu’ ye ever so ice
you war k .ee high to a toad, No v, tell me
■ ruiy b’ s,did over any on ye use terbisker?”
Be li and None niuh hu ig tueir hea ls, hut
Abijah a iswered promptly: “No, sir!”
Deacon Jones continued: “You needn’t be
ashamed ou’t, b’ys, for taint uosi.i.” At
this remark, Beth aud Neu- oiah looked
very much surprised, and said: “Ys, pa,
we’ve smoked a.d chawed nuv nigh on,o
five years." Tie old man jumped for j >y;
for hero were his two oldest aud stro gest,
who had u ed tobacco for years, and were
living witnesses to tue truth of ex-Secretary
Blaine’s startling statein- nt. “I k; owed it.
I k.lowed it,” cried the good deaco ; ‘I
knowed Jim Blaine never male no mis
takes.” Tne astonished young men asked
what was meant. “B’ys,” said then
father, “I’ll teii you wnat makes
ye so much stronger than the
rest of us, l’s wy you've
used terbakker all th so years, an’ terhak
ker is a necessity of life. You nee In’t look
so su’prised, for Jim Bliino says so!”
Nehemiah was amused, Seth was astonis ied,
but Abij h began to fear tin o.d man was
insane. H >wever, tbe deaco.i explain dit
all out to his childre 1, and eouoluled:
"Now, we’il begin to-night to use terb li
ke.-, a .’ plenty ou it; but mind ye don’t tell
mar m.”
Acc irdingly, tobacco became an article
of more freque it use on tne part of tae
oldest boys, although they still kept the
secret from Mrs. J nes, and were aiw vs
s unowhat embarrassed and ash met when
they saw their pious fatae - attempt to
smoke or chew. The fact was, tue new
necessity didn’t agree wit i old Deacon
Jones, s roug as was his faith ini s good
properties. Smaking m ida him dizzy and
nervous, while cnewing gave him
naus a ad s oiled his appetite. Bat
the ha "it seemed to agree with his bovs,
aud the old man carnet) regard his afilic
tions as a righteous puuLh rua. for hi
v g irous way, noth in work and lu and ed, in
winch he ha i fought tobacco ali Ilia life till
the last winter. He honed, an 1 confidently
beiieved, that that pu is.nn lit would soon
c me to an end, aid kept about his work
all winter. In the spring and summer he
could chew with iut nausea, but his dizzi
ness and trembling grew worse, and in the
autumn he had to spend much of his time
abed, and did no work beyond choring
around the house.
Of course his faithful wife knew the cause
of his illness, but, as ha resoiu ely refu.ad
to explain, she held her peace. Abij th,
who had ai wavs wa ite Ito caesv bat ha l
been prevented by fear of the old man, now
beca ne bill, and enjoyed the si.ua im
mightily. Finally, hi was caught in the
act by his mother, and di closed the whole
Secret. The good woman labored wit l her
husband, admouishe i him, scolded him—
all to no purpo .e. As with many other
Americans, ms ad nirarion of Blaine out
woigbea all his loves. The poir wife gavo
up in despair, and relieved tier feelings by
p mring vials of • wrath onto the
plumed knight. Tne knowledge tbit
the wife and mother was sor
rowing over their babi s embarrassed
ali the male members of the family, but
their embarrassment soon began to wear
away, and tobacc > became a regular article
of diet in the Jones household. Tne eider
boys diluted their tobacco with hard cider,
aid were fat and contented. Abijah mixed
his with rum, and was poor but happy.
Even the gentle Mehitable began to take
suuff. Still the poor old deacon grew worse,
and, though he still clung to t em. his
h ipes grow weaker. At last the crisis
ca ne.
Deacon Jones had followed Mr. Blaine in
his speech-making tour,had beiieved all that
the groat states nan said, a.non : o her
thi gs, this: Whatever party and whatever
principles were to win in this contest were
to maintain the ascendency for a genera
tion. Oi that prediction tbe s urdy old
farmer fixed his flag, and swore that the
p.-ople nere soo ■ to and rcide, for the rest of
bis life, at any rate, whether the internal
revenue or t e tariff tax s were to be main
tained. Well, one morning in Nove Ti
ber. nbout a week after the news
of Harrison’s triumphant election had
been flashed ail over tne country, A ijau,
who had been to the village and heard tne
news, came staggering, with necessity juice
oozing out of his mouth, into the dea oil’s
kitchen, aud told the result of the election.
The dbacon was abe liuan ad j ii g room,
the rest of the family was in the kitchen.
Expressions of surprise greeted t ,e news,
but surprise changed to const-nati n as
the deacon leaped into the middle of tne
room, gave a wild yell, and fell dead in
front of the stove.
