They sandbagged and robbed Judge Bookstaver, of the common pleas court, the other night with as much neat ness and dispatch as if he had been merely an ordinary citizen. The opposition of Senator Irby, of South Carolina, to the confirmation of Judge Simonton, as against the recommendation of Chief Justice Fuller, will hardly have a feather’s weight with the Senate. This does not mean that Irby is a light-weight. The McGarrahan bill is a standing re buke to congressional cowardice. The old man’s claim appears to be just, but it is combated by a rich and powerful corpor ation. Congress has not the courage to grant McGarrahan’s prayer against the wishes of the corporation, nor the hardi hood to throw him overboard and end his suspense. He has grown old waiting for justice, and will probably die still wait ing. All that he asks of congress now is permission to prove his title to the Ran cho Panoche grant, in California. The captain of the transatlantic steam er Havel, which arrived at New York on Thursday with a smashed bridge and snapped deck stanchtions, says seas that run mountain high are not mere figments of the story writer's braiu, but actual facts. On his way across, on the trip just ended, his vessel was boarded by a wave “fpUy sixty feet high” . that car ried everything before it. As proof of its immensity and weight he points to steel rods and oak beams twelve inches thick that were twisted and snapped by the great wall of water that fell upon them. An extraordinary and disgraceful boy cott at Louisville, Ky.. came to au end I rid ay night. Lust Sunday a woman died. Her husband, a poor man. owed an undertaker a small balance on a bill for burying his father. When the bereaved husband sent for an undertaker he was informed that the body would not be touched by any member of the Under takers’ Union until the old debt had been paid. As there are no non-union under takers in the city there was no funeral until the husband had succee.hbd in bor rowing $lO among bis acquaintances, with which he bought a second-hated coffin from a medical college, when he/and his family buried the woman. Because of the under takers boycott the body wa.s kept above ground from Sunday until Friday night. Making New States. It was expected that this congress would admit Utah, Arizona and New Mexico into the Union. They have been applying for admission for a long time. Each of them has the necessary qualifi cations, and there is no reason tvny the application of either should lie denied. The House has voted to admit Utah and Arizona and will vote to admit New Mexico. There is every reason to believe the Senate will follow the lead of the House. Asa matter of fact. Utah ought to have been admitted several years ago. and would have been if there had not existed a doubt as to the sincerity of the assertions of the Mor mons that they had given up polygamy forever. Even now there is a suspicion that if the Mormons get control of the new state they will legalize polygamy and defy the United States government to in terfere with it. This suspicion is seen in the amendment, which was offered by Representative Powers, of Vermont, to the bill relative to polygamy, but the opinion is expressed that the amendment will be dropped before the bill becomes a law. The Mormons are sincere in giving up polygamy. They understand that the sentiment of the whole country is against it, and that they could not make it an institution of the new state even if they should try to do so. Utah has a very large gen tile population, and, besides, many of the j Mbt-sons here never regarded polygamy with favor. The institution may there fore be regarded as belonging to the past. Utah promises to become a rich and populous state. It will be many years be fore Arizona and New Mexico will show i much growth, but Utah has a thrifty pop- ! ulation, and, besides having a very con siderable amount of good fanning lands, is rich in minerals. Her estimated population is 245,000. and her assessed property 1120.000.000. Her output of met als last year was valued at nearly $12,- 000,000. Representative Oakes, of Alabama, made a suggestion while the bill was pending in the House that ought to have been acted upon. The Senate may consider it in the shape of an amendment. It is that the state of Nevada be joined to Utah. Together they would make a splendid state, which would not be the largest in the union by any means. Nevada will never amount to anything. She has only 45,000 inhabitants—2o,ooo less than she had ten years ago. Her admission into the union was one of those political out rages the Republican party did not hesi tate to commit in the bight of its power when it wanted to accomplish a particu lar object. Nevada ought to be blotted out, and the least objectionable way to do that is to make her a part of Utah. It is tlie impression that all three of the proposed new states are democratic, and ! will choose democratic senators. That is not agreeable to the republicans, because the addition of six democratic senators will insure a democratic majority in the Senate for a long time. However, it is difficult to see what the republicans can do. They cannot expect to have every thing their way. Some Beaufort Pensioners. It was to be expected that Secretary Smith’s pension policy would meet with resistance. The fraudulent pensioners are against him and his policy because they see they are going to lose the fruit of their rascality, and many of the honest pensioners are against him because they have been led to believe by an unscrupu lous republican press and corrupt pension attorneys that it is his purpose to make war upon all pensions. The fact that Mr. Smith is a southerner also helps to spread the impression that he is hostile to pen sions. While it is true that Mr. Smith is a southerner he was not a participant in the civil war. He was too young to do duty as a soldier in that conflict. Had he been old enough he would have carried a musket on the southern side. But the fact that he is a southerner does not prevent him from doing exact justice to the pensioners of the union armies. He knows what the pension laws are, and ho will comply with them strictly. All that he seeks to do is to prevent the government from being de frauded by a lot of scamps who never did any fighting, and who have succeeded in getting pensions because the republican leaders were so anxious to get rid of the surplus which the first Cleveland adminis tration accumulated that they encouraged the granting of pensions upon insufficient proofs. In that way thousands of men succeeded in getting on tho pension rolls who have no legal right to be there. It is Secretary Smith’s pu.-pose to get them off the roils. He is going to have a pretty lively fight to accomplish his purpose, but unless Congress interferes to prevent him he will accomplish it. He will find a fine field for operation just across tho river from Savannah. Beaufort county, S. C., furnished a large number of colored troops. In many in stances they represented these patriotic citizens of the north who, like the la mented Artemas Ward, were willing “to send all their wives’ relations to the front” rather than go themselves. Many of those Beaufort county blacks never had an ache nor a pain, and worked more or less regularly for twenty-five years. They are now affected with “mis ery in m’ back” due to alleged exposure while in the federal service. They would never have had this “misery” had not Commissioner Raum’s pension policy made it to the interest of the pension sharks to hunt them up and tell them about it. If Secretary Smith will give Beaufort county early attention he will save the treasury a good many thousand dollars and send back to work numbers of strong men who are now idlers, living on the bounty of the government. It is to be hor*Jd that the Georgia del egates to the farmers’ congress will re peat when they go home what Col. Need ham, of Massachusetts, told them about tho work of country road improvement in his state. Massachusetts is probably ahead of any other state in the Union in the good roads movement, and as Col. Needham is a close observer, his state ments and advice will prove valuable to our people when they shall have been made to see that better country roads means greater prosperity. It is a cause for congratulation that the farmers’ con gress has interested itself in the move ment. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1893. Hunt Down the Murderer*. A iittle more than a week ago a colored woman was killed in a house on South Broad street under circumstances that leave little or no doubt that she was brutally murdered. The man who killed her has not been arrested. A few days ago a white man was killed by a negro on Skidaway Island. If the facts are as stated in the newspapers the killing was an unprovoked murder of the most hor rible kind. The negro dealt his victim a blow with an ax when the latter was un suspicious of danger. The murderer has not been arrested. It is but fair to assume that the officer whose duty it is to hunt down murderers in this county has not been neglectful of his duty in these two cases. There are, doubtless, good reasons why he has not been successful thus far. it is highly important, however, that he should prose cute his search with great vigor, and that he should arrest both of the accused men. The escape of both or of either of them would be such a failure of justice as would encourage the committing of the crime of murder in this county, and would lead the people to resort to lynch law if a particularly fiendish murder should be committed and the party com mitting it should ba caught. It seems to us that the county commis sioners should inquire as to what is being done towards apprehending the murder ers in the cases ’to which attention is called, with the view of finding out if all is beingdone that it is possible to do, and of providing assistance if help is thought to be necessary. We cannot af ford to let these murders pass without making every possible effort to arrest and punish the murderers. The people are talking about them in a quiet way, a'nd any neglect to see that the law is vindicated will bear bitter fruit. There may lie no visible indignation at these murders, but it exists, and the oc casion when it will crop out may occur at any time. A full report should be made of what ever has been done to capture the mur derers so that the people may know that the proper steps have been taken to bring them to justice. They a fie entitled to this information and they will be better satis fied if they are shown that the authori ties have done their duty. The Parkhurst Raids- There are signs of a growing sentiment in New York against the raids which are being made upon the homes of unfortu nate women in that city by the police. The police are driven to make the raids by the course pursued by the society of which Dr. Parkhurst is the director. A few nights ago a respectable house, within a block of the Fifth Avenue hotel, was raided, anil all the inmates carried to the police station, where they remained dur ing the night They were released the following morning by the police -justice, having been able to establish their respectability without trouble. No amount of money is a satisfactory com pensation for an outrage of that kind, and it is a difficult matter to get any compen sation at all. A suit against the city would drag along for years; and the re sult of it might not even pay for the time occupied in prosecuting it. If these'raids go on, people who visit New York will be afraid to stop anywhere except in first class hotels. They will avoid board ing houses for fear of being made parties to one of Dr. Parkhurst's scandals. .Many, who cannot afford to stop at the high-priced hotels, will stay away from New York altogether. The New 1 York papers are largely re sponsible for the condition of affairs that exist in that city. Instead of pointing out the damage that Dr. Parkhurst is doing, they encourage all sorts of trans actions which they think will furnish a sensatiou for their news columns. The aim of the great majority of the newspapers now a days is to get hold of something that is sensational without re gard to the truth. Competition between them is so keen that they have pushed aside the old time methods for obtaining facts, and write their articles from a standpoint they think will be an attractive one. How much better it would be if they would seek less diligently for sensations and more earnestly for the truth ! The people of all classes of society would then have a better chance for justice and for having their rights respected. Even Dr. Parkhurst would not be given more prom inence than he deserves. His lack of charity and his anxiety for notoriety would be made clear. He and men like him would not be permitted to pose as Christian teachers while showing a want of Christian charity. Gen. Emil Frey, whose election as president of the Swiss republic, was told in our dispatches, is very well known in this couutry, especially by those of both the north and the south who had any thing to do with Libby prison during the war. Ho emigrated to this country from Switzerland in 1860, and enlisted in an Illinois regiment. He soon rose to the rank of major. At the battle of Gettys burg he was captured by the confederates and sent to Salisbury prison. From there he was transferred to the Libby prison, in which he remained until January, 1865, as a hostage for a confederate captain, under sentence of death in a northern prison. After the war he re turned to Switzerland, entered polities, was successful, and for seven years repre sented liis country as minister at AVash ington. A year ago he was elected Vice president of the Swiss republic, and has now been promoted, according to the cus tom of that country. The Florida Citizen, anew paper “to be published every day in the year” at Jacksonville, made its first appearance on Friday—an evidence that it places no faith in luck. Its editor is Mr. Lorettus Metcalf, formerly a member of the staff of the Forum Magazine, with which pub lication he won his spurs. The Citizen is a six-column eight-page quarto, has a fair telegraphic service, and is solidly democratic. It will devote itself to printing the news, booming Florida and inserting a voice into whatever discus sion of public questions may come up. Its first issue was quite promising. AVe wish it well. Ex-President Harrison will go to Cali fornia about Feb. I to begin his series of lectures on international law before the Stanford University. It is said that he has nearly completed the lectures, and that the Hawaiian matter is dealt with extensively therein. PERSONAL. Representative Barnes Compton, of Mary land. owing to a serious li nes*, has teen con | lined to his room at Wa-hington for the past | ten day a. He has undergone two surgical op- I erations. i Claus Spreckies Is credited with ihe inten | tion of building a magnificent house in the fashionable jiari of Sail Franc;--c-.

Washing ton. The nomination of Professor Story as moderator of the next General Assembly of S, otlar.il has caused Rev. Jacob Primmer to hurl an anathema at htm. in which lie de clares the nomination lo be "a deliberate in sult to the Almighty and the people of Scot land.” U. S. Grant. Jr., has purchased the Hubbell house at San Diego. Cal., and it will probably be the permanent home of the Grant family. The house cost (52.0J0 to build in boom times, but Mr. Grant paid much lees than that for it. It is large and handsome enough to le called a mansion, and is finished with great ele gance. Julian Hawthorne, who has made his home for saverai years out in Sag Haroop, has found out that the climate o' the M eat Indies is mote congenial to htm then that of Eastern Long stand. He bus pi r.hased a fruit orchard down on one of the Bahama*, and has gone down there to five. He sailed Willi his family ten days ago. John Morley has just been made a bencher of the Honorable Society of Lincoln’s Inn, London. He was called to the bar several years ago. and tea 1 jaw in the chambers of Frederick Harrison, though he never made any serious attempt to f ractlce. 'ihe honor just conferred upon him by the inn. to which ne belongs, is in recognition of his literary and political distinction. The English composer. George Osborne, who died a few days ago at an advanced age, was principally remembered in these days as the author r.r a brilliant saldon piece called "La Plitle de Ferles." says the New York Tribune. ItwasaL one time so popular in England that It might t e --aid with little ex aggeration that everybody" played it. At a certain concert, when tbe piece was at the bight of its popularity. Osborne, without hav ing been expected, suddenly made his appear ance, and was at once asked to play.

Worst Thing About the Bill. From the Boston Globe iDem. i. The worst thing that we have noticed about the Wilson tariff bill is that zatfer is on the free list. By the way, what is zatfer, any way ? Lewelling- Has Not Paresis. From the Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep.). A Kansas dispatch says that Gov. Lewelling has symptoms of paresis. If so. it is the first case on record where the Populist party has furnished a candidate with sufficient brain tissue to give the disease a foothold. Still Harping on the Election. From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.). Dr. Chauncey M. Depew is still theo rizing on the elections of a year ago; and his idea is that "all the long-haired men and short-haired women combined to bring about the change.’’ It will be news to the shopping worn n that they wear their hair short, and to tho football men that they are entitled to special honor for the tariff reform victory. The McKinley Bill's Precedent. From the Boston Herald find.). Mr McKinley brought in his tariff bill May 8. is9o. and proposed to allow It to be 'gener ally debated tor a period of two days, and then that live minute speeches should be al lowed to run on one week. At the end of two weeks the bill came to a vote and was passed, and no amendments, excepting those offered by the majority, were permitted to be voted on. It would be well for the protectionists to recall these votes when the Wilson bill Comes up for consideration and an effort Is made to expedite things. Prom the Malority Standpoint. From the Baltimore Sun (Dem.) The buyer wants to bo flooded with goods, and they cannot he too cheap for him. To his mind it is shockingly seltlsn for the manu facturing capitalist to ask him to agree to pay high prices for the manufacturer s bene tit. Nine tenths of the buyers are poor. They cannot afford to give a bounty to the richer manufacturer, it is preposterous for the latter to ass it. It is wrong for the gov ernment to frame its tax laws so that ho can compel it. 'flits enforced charity of the poor to the rich is as bad as robbery. Cau't Keep TTs Down. From the Nyaek i N. Ytfity and Country (Dem) Bushels of our sprightly and esteemed re publican contempt)raries are still alluding to the late clectk n us tv — Kepumican avalanche, Republican landslide, Republican earthquake, Republican cyclone, Republican tornado. Republican hurricane, Republican whirlwind, Republican tidal wave, and Republican maelstrom. We are happy to infirm our brethreu that the Democratic party has already bobbed up serenely from beneath the above quoted co lossal conglomeration of cataclysmic convul sions. Depew at Monte Carlo. Chauncey M. Dcpew visited the gambling rooms at Monte Carlo to-night for tho first time in his life, says a special from Nice lo the New York World. It was at the top of the evening in the Ca sino. and the coin was clinking back and forth over the tables as mcrrtlv as ever it went into the New York Central ticket office window. Mr. Dept* studied the game as carefully us he ever audited his company s uo lounts. After his companion, a lady, had supp’d a 5 franc piece on one of the little blank spares at the end of the row of figures and had drawn back three of the same pieces, while other people who put their coin on real high figures got nothing at all. Mr. Depew seemed somewhat puzzled. He could not for bear however, blushing with pleasure at his companion's valor, and advised her to try again. >he did so and lost. Mr. Dcpew thought luck might turn; but it didn't, and the other.s-franc piece went back to the bank. "Well, you are even with the game.’.’ re marked Mr. Depew. Then after pondering awhile, he added: "1 think I begin to see through it." More consideration of the divagations of the little ball led him to further enlighten his companion. "You see. ” he said "the bank gets it all." And that seemed to be all Mr. Depew cared to learn aboht roulette, for he left the big hall an I passed on through the'smaller one. where the women in the panels on the wall are attired in riding habits and other close fitting costumes, and through that again to the last room of all, where the women ip the panels wear only a brief a; o’.ogy in gauze, ana where nothing less dainty than a golden louis ever soils the green of the talles. Trente ef quurante interested Mr. Depew lit tle. Here is where the bright piling is done. "Don t understand," was the only comment he made and soon he left the gaming house and took the 11) o'clock train for Nice. Anecdotes of Mrs, Inchbald. Mrs Inchbald was not an actress of any special merit, but of respectable mediocrity, says the St. Louis Republic. She stuttered habitually, but her delivery was never im peded by this defect on the stage. Mrs. Inch bald was a person of very remarkable char acter. lovely, poor, with unusual mental pow ers. and of irreproachable conduct She had a sing dar uprightness and unworldliness, and a childlike and simplicity of manner, which, combined with her personal loveliness and halting, broken utterances, gave to her conversation, w hich was both hu morous and witty, a most peculiar and com ical charm. Fanny Kemble, in her “Records of a Girl hood "writes; "Once, after traveling all day in a pouring rain, the dripping coachman of fered her his arm to help her out, when she exclaimed, to the great amusement of her fel low travelers: ■ Oh. no.no: Y-y-y-yon will give, mo my death of cold: Do bring me a a a-a-a dry man.. "Ccming off the stage one evening she was about to sit down by Mrs. Siddons in tho green room. when, suddenly looking at her magnificent neighbor, she said: ' "No, I won't ss s sit by you. You're t-t-t too handsome!’ “In w hich respect she certainly need have feared no competition, and less with my aunt than any one. their stylo of beauty being so absolutely dissimilar.” What’s the Rest of His Name?

"I was down in Kentucky not long ago,” said the drummer to the Detroit Free Press man. "And I met an old man one day in the store where X had just sold a bill of goods, and got to talking to him. ” You look a good deal like my boy,’ he said after quite a chat. " Yes.’said X. ‘He must be quite good looking.’ “ 'Purty peart boy,’ said he. " How old is her’ “ 'Thirty-nine, goin’ on 40; and used to he likely in politics, but he quit.’ "‘Why?’ “ ‘He stole a hoss.’ “ That comes of a man making a mistake in what he steals.

The nail is made of somewhat lighter guage than the average standard wire nail, but lias the same number of nails to tho pound, and is sold by the count instead of bv the weight. Thus a certain number of nails is guaranteed to the keg. and this number is branded on the keg. 1h; nail itself is coated with a preparation Whicn gives it extraordi nary holding power; in fact, when the nail is once driven in it is said to be almost impossi ble to pull it out again. bak.ng powder. only l ure Cronin of Tartar Powtler.— No Ammonia; Mo Alain.

The smoking of eigarrettes or tobacco by bovs under the age of 16 has been practically stopped in Connecticut by what is known a* the aati-cigarrette law. which made the sale of eigarrettes and tobacco a misdemeanor A substitute was recently put on the market by a_ manufacturer, who. according to the New York Evening Post, evidently thinks there is a fortune iu/tin- passion which no; shave for imitating then- elders.

Qt the late great scientist. Prof. Tyndall, a Philadelphia paper says that the ruling mot ive of his character was strikingly shown by the f act tha: after h's lecturing tour in the United States in IST.' he returned to England, but gave the money he had made on that tour to the founding of scientific scholarships at three of the leading colleges in the Frated States, in this act he gave no!ire not only that he had not come here for the usual pur pose of foreigners, but at once revealed to those who did not know him well the supreme interest he felt in science as a study. This zeal was what enabled his reputation to with stand the assaults which grew out of his so-called theological writings, which were Interesting chiefly as indicating the trend ot a decidedly brilliant, but unorihordox school, of which he became the acknowledged head. His manner and methods as a sjieaker laid deep hold on every one who heard him. He had the happy faculty of gathering profound knowledge on many subjects and of impart ing that knowledge to a popular audience in language which charmed the ear while en lightening the mind. He had even more than this. Neglecting none of the scientifie methods of ascertaining the truth, he seemed also to possess the intuitive fa ulty to an un usual degree, and hence of reaching conclu sions by quicker nroeesses than are eomraoa to even great men. Two young men of Boston, while on a journey through India last summer, wit nessed an exhibition by a fakir in a small vil lage outside of Calcutta. The fakir was per forming the usual exjverience of making a rope descend from thejelouds and a man-come down the rope, who ascended t v the same route after having his head cut off, says the Calcutta Mirror. The exhibition was in an open square before 1.0:0 spectators. Every one saw plainly what was happing. The two Bostains had cameras withdhem, and took numerous snan shots of the exhibition in its various stages. They intended to write a subject for a magazine, and illustrated, direct from photographs. They developed the plates with much interest upon their return to Boston recently. They were nonplussed when they saw the results. The photographs revealed the fakir, surrounded by the crowd, with astonishment, b iwilderment and horror pictured on their faces: but the extraordinary decapitation they had witnessed did nut show upon the sensitive plates. Xhe crowd stand ing around were apparently looking at noth ing in the photographs. What they saw had not happened at all e u t thev merely saw it in their mind’s eye. While th ire is nothing re markable in the force of suggestion, when ap plied to one person, it would not be impossi ble for an impression, such as the event which the Boston men saw, to be conveced to one person in a hypnotic condition. he circum stances at the Indian fakir s exhibition were, however, entirely different. Here were 1.000 people, fully awake, who all saw in their mind exactly the same picture, and had no doubt that the wonderful events actually hap pened. Ninety-nine out of a hundred druggists handle cigars and tobacco to a greater or less extent. Hut few of them realize, however, the necessity for caution as regards the propercaie of the articles of merchandise, which this character of the weed itseif re quires on account of its perishableness. It is perhaps not generally known, says I'haim i ceutical Era, that tobacco is more susceptio'e to injuryfrom climatic influences and contact with foreign substances than any other plant known; more particularly when manufactured (either in plug form or in the shape of tineout, or in the cigar itself i tobacco will take up and absorb any foreign flavor, scent or character, which will entirely change its aroma or us e. For instance, if cigars are kept in a da up place, they will absorb the moisture in the atmosphere, and as a result there is a heavy, soggy, spongy article, which is bound to produce a strong, rank and disagree abletisteandflavor.no matter how well it may liaye been previously seasoned. For this reason, cigars that are sold for use at the seashore arc selected from the oldest or best seasoned stock. No experienced dealer or smoker would think of taking a fresh Clear on board an ocean-bound steamship,’ inasmuch as the ordinary domestic "twofor ’ would smoke and taste equally as well as the tinest imported Key West cigars on board the ship. Cigars and tobacco should be loot as far as possible, from coming in contact with such articles as camohor, ammonia, vinegar, coffee, spices, and similar substances The above hints, if observed, will avoid and prevent many complaints from dealer or con sumer as to brands of cigars and tobacco which are known to have a standard value for quality, and which under proper treat ment have heretofore given the best of satis faction. The production of ozone has hitherto been so expensive as to greatly limit the use of this most valuable deodorizer, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. An attempt is now being made in London to produce ozone on such u scale that it will be aiailable for innumerable hygienic and commercial purposes. The apparatus used is electrical, tho ozonizer consists of a number of serrated strips formed up into grids, and separated from each other ex piates of gla.ss. On connecting these grids with opposite terminals of a high potential alternating current, what is called a "brush discharge ’ takes place on the glass from the point of the serrations, and the characteristic smell of oz.one is quickly apparont. To make the oz.one in still greater volume a large number of these plates are so arranged lit a suitable case that when the discharge is established a current of air is passed throiu-h the apparatus, whence it emerges heavTlv charged with ozone. Before the air is passed into the ozonizer it is filtered, cooled and dried, so that its purity is insured. One of the indutnes into which this commercially produced ozone is likely to be introduced tV the bleaching of paper pulp, it is stated that this process can thus be reduced in cost bv three-eighths to one half of what it now en tails. Xt is also suggested to use the ozonizer in the preparation of oils for painting, the same result as to drying profe-tie* being ob tamed as by boiling the oil. with the added advantage of great improvement in its clear ness and color. In one branch of the wine and spirit trade, the ozonizer is sure to he widely used. When subjected to the action of ozone raw spirits or new wines acquire in a few hours the same mellowness and bouquet as if they had been kept in the cellar for years In the bleaching of sugar and the oxidizing of varnishes ozone will prove of special service Another use of o -.one is the removal of tannin from tea. and a company has neen forme • for operating the process. Asa disinfectant ozone Wiil have before it a specially wide field of usefulness, as a gaseous disinfectant which has not the unpleasantness of sulphur ous acid and chlorine, is still wanting. Ozon ited air will kill bacteria, and the number of bacteria in the air of a room can be apprecia bly diminished by working an ozonizer The statistics q mted ny Mr. Andreoli, tho inven tor of the new method of producing ozone electrically, as to the relations between the quantity of so-called ozone in the air and the prevalence of cholera are worth careful con sideration in this connection.
