every city and town during the sum
mer. has become thoroughly dried, and
teeming with germs of the disease, is
taken up Into the air by fall winds
e,nd inhaled by every living person.
If the air passages are in a healthy
condition there is no danger, but let

catarrh, then these germs find lodge
ment on the Inflamed surfaces, multi
ply with astonishing rapidity and the
disease consumption is contracted.
Heretofore the public as well as the
medical profession have been at a
loss to prevent this terrible disease,
hut now that government statistics
and health reports have shown there

THE CATHOLIC FEDERATION.
Its Organization Marked by Mach
Enthusiasm and Many Eloquent
Addresses Made.
Cincinnati, Dec. 10. —The American
Federation of Catholic Societies is now
permanently established. At the ses
sions of the first day of its initial con
vention no opposition to the confedera
tion was manifested. On the contrary,
the attendance, uanimity of opinon and
enthusiasm of all present in the new
organization surpassed all expectations.
In his discourse this morning at St.
Peter’s Cathedral, Dr. Lavelle, rector
of St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York,
eloquently sounded the keynote in fa
vor of the federation. He followed
Archbishop Eider in one of the most
vigorous addresses that venerable pre
late has made for years. Archbishop
Elder discussed the need of unity of
action, as well as of purpose and pre
dicted great results in the future by
the union of Catholic organizations.
Prof. Anthony Matre, president of
the Cincinnati federation, Gov. Nash,
Mayor Fleischman, T. B. Minihan,
president of the Ohio federation, Pres
ident Fries, Vice President Fitzgerald
and others were all most enthusiastic
in their speeches at the opening of the
convention in the Auditorium, predict
ing good results for society and the
country, the address of Gov. Nash be
ing repeatedly cheered as he referred
to the good work of the church for
law and order and for the suppression
of anarchy.
Following the addresses of welcome
and responses, speeches were made by
Bishop Mass of Covington, Ky.;
Bishop Horstman'of Cleveland; Bishop
McFaul of Trenton, N. J.. and Bishop
Messmer of Green Bay, Wis. Bishops
Horstman and McFaul spoke at length,
the latter having a carefuly prepared
address to show that the federation
proposed to advance benevolent, social
and Christian work, and especially to
assist the Catholic press, and dlsseml
nate Catholic literature. The address
of Bishop McFaul was regarded as an
official statement from the clergy, and
that of T. B. Minihan as an official
statement from tjie laity. President
Minihan demonstrated that the feder
ation was one for Christians and not
for politicians. He said no politicians
had been or ever would be allowed in
its councils.

KATIE WON AGAIN.
A Utah Woman’s Management.
"The first misunderstanding that
Katie and I ever had was on account
of coffee. She would not give it to me
because she was sure it was the cause
of my nervousness and sick spells, so
1 regularly dropped into my Aunt’s
house on the way from school (I am
a school teacher you see) and stealthi
ly put down a good strong cup of cof
fee each day.
One of my sleepless nights I lay won
dering what ailed me and how long my
money would last If I got sick sudden
ly. I went to school the next day as I
had often done before, with nerves very
tremulous and a distressing headache
creeping over every cubic inch of my
brain.
When I reached the dinner table at
night, shaved and in my right mind,
but very tired and faint, I gave a little
start of surprise and delight, followed
instantly with a feeling of shame.
Had my sharp, though mild-eyed
little wife discovered the extent of my
recent perfidy? Did she know I had
been taking coffee each day, contrary
to agreement? Beside my plate, In my
own beautiful silver Xmas present cup,
smoked and fairly smiled the bever
age, Inviting, delicious liquid. I hasten
ed to pour in a generous supply of
cream with the usual ration of sugar.
Then I sipped the treasure with de
light
It tasted a good deal better than
usual someway, but not exactly nat
ural. When my cup was about half
empty I began to wonder If it would
be replenished, so I stole a glance at
the little woman. She had a far away
look in her eyes and a little victorious
curl on her lips.
All at once I understood, ‘Now Katie,*
I said amazedly. ‘you don’t mean to
tell me this Is Postum?’ Her pretty
Uttle laugh rang out at once, and she
asked through the folds of her napkin,
‘Don’t you think now there Is such a
thing as a good food coffee?’
I roared (with my late experience
fresh In my mind) ‘Don’t ever say
coffee to me again; I am a saved man
to-night.’ I then and there hugged my
guardian angel and swore off on coffee,
for keeps. , ,
My health and spirits have been
gaining steadily, until now I sleep like
a babe and eat like a—, well, like a
man who knows his food is going to
agree with him.
It was a happy day for wife and I
(and for numbers of our friends) when
the real danger of coffee drinking was
discovered and a beverage that would
take Its place was put on our table. I
have been saved from a spell of nervous
prostration, the outcome of which one
can ever foretell." Ross House, Robin*

GEORGIANS FARED WELL
SPEAKER HENDERSON NAMES
HOUSE COMMITTEES.
Col. Lester Leads Democrats on
River nml Harbor Committee,
While Mr. Livingston fiends the
Minority on the Appropriations
Committee—Mr. Brantley Is on
the Public Buildings Committee.
Early Appointments of Commit
tees Will Facilitate Legislation.
Washington, Dec. 10. —In the House
to-day, Speaker Henderson announced
the committee assignments and the
members of the Georgia delegation
fared exceedingly well, by retaining
tiheir former places on nearly all of
the prominent committees in the
House. Representative Lester is
again located on the River and Harbor
Committee, where he will be able to
safeguard the interests of Savannah
harbor, with his usual ability and suc
cess. With Col. Lester on guard it
is safe to predict that if there is a
river and harbor bill passed during the
present Congress, Savannah harbor will
be well taken care of. Representative
Livingston goes back to the Commit
tee on Appropriations as the ranking
member of the minority, so that the
interests of Georgia will not be neg
lected while "Col. Lon” is on duty.
The other members of the delegation
are equally well provided for. "With
Brantley on the Public Buildings Com
mittee, Tate on Naval Affairs, Howard
on Foreign Affairs, Maddox on Insu
lar affairs, Griggs on Postoffices and
Post Roads, Lewis on Banking and
Currency, Adamson on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce, Fleming on Judi
ciary. and Bartlett on Committee on
Elections, no other delegation in the
House has a better committee repre
sentation.
Usually the committees are not ap
pointed until after the holiday recess,
but Speaker Henderson had the situa
tian well in hand when Congress met,
and having completed the lists, he an
nounced them. The early appointment
of the committees should facilitate leg
islation considerably, as the commit
tees can now organize and get their
work under way before the holiday ad
journment.
A resolution for the distribution of
the President’s message was made the
occasion of a general speech on the
Philippines by the venerable ex-Speak
er Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Burke of South Dakota formally
announced the death of Senator Kyle,
and as a mark of respect the House
immediately adjourned. The adjourn
ment was until Friday. The recess for
the holidays will be from Dec. 18 to
Jan. 6.

TRIED TO WIPE OUT FAMILY.
Despondent Workman Cut Throats
of Wife and Son and Then Kills
Himself.
Calumet, Mich., Dec. 10.—While in a
fit of despondency over his inability to
find work and provide for his family,
John Kinonen cut his wife's throat, the
throat of a 16-year-old son, slashed a
younger son less seriously and then
committed suicide by cutting his own
throat. Kinonen is dead, but the other
members of the family, while in a se
rious condition, are not fatally wound
ed, and the attending physicians think
that they will recover.
The attempt at murder and the sui
cide took place at Copper Falls, twen
two miles from this city, at 2 a. m. to
day. All of the family were sleeping
when Kinonen arose from his bed and
taking his razor from the bureau crept
to the bed where his wife lay. In a mo
ment he had cut a wide gaping wound
in her throat. He then went to the
bedroom of his sons and cult their
throaits while they slept. He then
passed the keen blade across his own
throat, dying within a few minutes.
The younger boy, who was less seri
ously injured than the rest, ran to a
neighbor for help, and doctors soon ar
rived and took charge of the wounded.
BRUSH WANTS PRESIDENCY.
He Mar Bring About a Deadlock in
National League Board.
New York. Dec. 10.—Directors Brush,
Freedman. Robinson and Soden of the
National League went into session at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel this afternoon
and after a two hours’ session the
regular meeting of the league was
called. Adjournment was taken un
til evening, however, owing to the ab
sence of Hart and Rogers.
It was reported that John Brush
had won over two more of the mag
nates to his way of thinking as to the
presidential question, and that a dead
lock is the result. According to this
information Brush now has Freedman,
Soden and Robinson back of him, while
Dreyfus, Rogers, Hart and Abell are
seeking the election of A. G. Spald
ing as president of the league.
An hour after the evening meeting
began President Young came from the
room and remained out for some time.
He intimated that the presidential
question tvas being informally dis
cussed.
Brush’s plan, it is said, provide* for
the abolition of the office of president
of the league. He proposes vesting the
governing power in a board of man
agers, to be composed of four men.
MAY DISMISS TAFT. DIAMOND.
Commissioner Murphy Mny Punish
Him (or Being Caught.
New York, Dec. 10.—Police Captain
Diamond was called before Commis
sioner Murphy to-day to answer
charges of neglect of duty. The hear
ing was not concluded and was put
over until to-morrow. The charges
were the same as those on which Capt.
Diamond was convicted at Albany and
fined SI,OOO. Counsel for the accused
said they desired to put Capt. Diamond
on the stand, in order that he might
testify simply in mitigation of what
ever Judgment the commissioner might
render. Commissioner Murphy replied
that while he had a very high opinion
of Capt. Diamond, it was only for him
to determine whether he was the man
convicted at Albany. This is regarded
as forecasting the dismissal of Capt.
Diamond from the police force.
DEAF MUTES TURNED DOWN.
Legislature Tired of Hearing Their
Churges Against Superintendent.
Atlanta, Dec. 10.—For the fourth
time charges preferred by three deaf
mutes against Supt. W. O. Connor of
the Georgia School for the Deaf were
dismissed to-night by the House Com
mittee on School for the Deaf. The
charges Included incompetency, drunk
enness and cruelty. A committee of
three was appointed to draft a form of
report that can be filed in the Gov
ernor’s office, so as to stop the bring
ing of these charges before every Leg
islature.
A BARGE LOST IN GULF.

Terrible Experience.
Mobile, Ala., Dec. 10.—The steam tug
E. L. Russell reached port to-night and
reports that while towing a barge con
taining 9,000 barrels of oil from Sabine
Pass, Tex., to New Orleans, she en
countered a southeast storm on Sun
day and lost the barge the following
morning. The crew of the barge, Capt.
Thomas Morrissey and seven men, had
a terrible experience Sunday night,
lashed to the mast of the barge. They
were rescued Monday by means of an
improvised breeches buoy. Capt. Mor
rissey was so exhausted that he could
not tsand.

A GOOD DAY FOR SAVANNAH.
TREASURY AND HOSPITAL BILLS
INTRODUCED,
Ssuator Clay Fathers Both Meas
ures—Both Have Good Prospect of
Passage—Charleston No Longer
Opposes the Suh-Treasury Scheme
and Surgeon General Wyman Has
Strongly Recommended the Loca
tion of a Marine Hospital at Sa
vannah.
Washington, Dec. 10.—An energetic
effort is to be made during the present
Congress to have a sub-treasury of the
United States established at Savannah.
Senator Clay to-day introduced a bill
in the Senate with that object in view.
The proposition, while not new, has
brighter prospects of success now than
in previous Congresses.
The officials of the Treasury Depart
ment are favorably Inclined towards
Savannah and there is a general feel
ing that the commercial interests of
the coast line section of Georgia and
contiguous states would be greatly
benefltted by a sub-treasury located at
Savannah. In former years, when the
proposition has been brought forward
by Representative Lester and others
Interested in Savannah, their efforts
have been checked by a counter propo
sition in favor of Charleston. At one
time, Charleston had a sub treasury,
but the business did not Justify its
continuance, so It was abandoned. All
the commercial bodies and financial in
stitutions in Savannah and the lead
ing cities of the South are in favor of
establishing a sub treasury at Savan
nah, and It Is believed that Senator
Clay’s bill will become a law this ses
sion. It is understood that Charleston
will no longer play the “dog In the
manger” and set up a counter claim
for the mutual benefits to be derived
from the establishment of such a
necessary Institution.
Senator Clay also Introduced a bill
providing for the building of a Marine
hospital at Savannah to cost $125,000.
The Surgeon General of the Marine
Hospital, General Wyman, has strong
ly recommended the location of such
a hospital In Savannah and the pros
pects for favorable action upon Sen
ator Clay’s bill are regarded as ex
cellent.

this city, met In the deciding game
of the international 12-Inch balk line
billiard chomplonship tournament at
Madison Square Garden concert hall
to-night and the Chicago man won by
a score of 400 to 356. Schaefer began
very poorly, missing some easy shots.
Schaefer led at the end of the tenth
inning by 16 points, but four consecu
tive ciphers in his score altered this
order and Slosson, playing an improved
game, kept in the lead until he had
turned his second hundred. In his
thirtieth Inning Schaefer got the balls
Into the middle of the table and treat
ed the audience to a very pretty run
of billiards. His nursing was excellent
and it looked as if he would overtake
and pass Slosson In this run, but he
failed on a bank shot from which he
did not get either ball out. At the
end of the forty-fifth inning the score
stood 309 to 267 in favor of Slosson.
Then, for the second time during the
evening. Schaefer electrified the spec
tators by the prettiest and longest
run of the tournament. This was in
his half of the forty-sixth inning and
the figures were 68.
The world's championship he won
a few minutes later with successive
runs of 32, 13 and 20, the last being
unfinished.
Schaefer won the afternoon game
from Morning Star, 400 to 286.

WHY MANY SOLDIERS DIED.
TERRIBLE CHARGES MADE
AGAINST CORPS COMMANDER,
President Reed of Americas Medi
cal Association Makes Charges
Which Sbonld Be Investigated.
Terrible Loss of Life and Thov
sands of Invalids Because the
Commander Contemptuously Dis
regarded Sanitary Regulations
and Encouraged His Men to Do
the Same—Army Medical Depart
ment Degraded, Says Dr. Reed.
Marion, 0., Deo. 10.—Dr. Charles A.
L. Reed of Cincinnati, the retiring
president of the American Medical As
sociation, was given a banquet here to
night by the medical profession of
Northern Ohio. In the course of his
remarks on pending congressional
topics, viewed from a medical stand
point. he said:
“It seems, from evidence that han re
cently come from within the army tt
self, that the medical department has
not only been degraded, but that It Is
practically without authority. This
was strikingly, indeed tragically, il
lustrated during the recent war.
A commandant was in charge
of a quarter of the entire army. Hts
command was made up of the flower •
of American manhood and was en
camped at a health resort. He, how
ever, in violation of the precedent of
the usually cultivated and competent
gentlemen of the line, but acting un
der the permission of existing army
regulations, not only set aside recom
mendations of his sanitary officers,
but by personal example incited his
men to violate the most fundamental
sanitary laws. The result was what
might have been expected. Of the
more than 50,000 men in his command.
12,000 were Invalided, nearly 1,000 died
from preventable causes. IX in an
active military campaign the com
mandant had ignored the advice of
his scouts and had led his
command Into ambush with similarly
disastrous results, 12,000 wounded and
1,000 killed, he would have been court
martialed, and, doubtless, dismissed
from the service. The regulations,
however, I am advised, fix no respon
sibility for this parallel calamity, the
enormity of which is only beginning
to be understood. It is not surprising
that efforts have been made to sup
press knowledge of It. I am advised
that the Army Investigating Commit
tee, In the interest of public decency,
omitted from Its public report much
testimony on this phase of conduot of
the wax. An officer in the service who
to-day agitates this unsavory subject
is banished to the Philippines.
No wonder the surgeon general can
not fill the sixty and more vacancies
now existing in his corps; self-respect
ing medical men are not offering them
selves for a service that is dominated
by gag law and tyranny. But such
methods must fail. The agitation can
not stop until the responsibility Is fixed
for the enforcement of a regulation un
der the present terms of which the
bumptiousness of an accidental and in
capable commandant, with Impunity
to himself, may deprive an entire army
of the benefactions of science.”
