HELP FOR THE HOG.
Secretary Wilson Believes a Cholera
Remedy Has Been Found.
Secretary Wilson is well pleased with
the results of the experiments that have
been going on under his direction in lowa
and Nebraska during the last few months
in the treatment of hog cholera by inocu
lation. for he thinks the discoveries tha.'
have been developed are worth $100,000,-
000 a year to the people of the United
States.
The experiments were undertaken in
Page County, lows, last spring, where
several hundred hogs that were afflicted
with a disease that has until now been
considered fntal, were cured by the use
of serum, and several hundred more that
were perfectly healthy when protected by
the serum were permitted to range freely
among those that were diseased without
showing any effects from the contagion.
| Eighty-five per cent of the sick were
j cured and the healthy protected. Similar
( experiments have been going on in Ne
braska al! summer, but the detailed re
turns have not been received. The serum
is obtained in th-j same manner us the an
titoxin that is used for diphtheria. A
horse or a cow is inoculated with the
germs day after day until no effect is ap
parent. Its veins are then tapped, a
few drops of its blood injected under the
skin of healthy hogs has the same effect
as a preventive of eholeru that vaccina
tion has in smallpox. There was scarcely
a failure in several hundred cases, al
though the animals were exposed to the
disease in every iiossible manner. The
same treatment was equally successful
in curing the disease when taken in the
early stages.
Curiously enough, the cultivation of the
serum does not injure the horse or the
cow, and the animal can be used over and
over again every year until it becomes
aged, provided it is given plenty of those
forms of fodder that supply and
en the blood. A single horse or cow will
produce 1,000 doses of serum a year, and,
if ordinary economy is practiced, this will
reduce the cost of ti eutment to 10 or 15
cents per hog. Hundreds of thousands of
horses throughout the United States that
are now killed for their hides may be
used to save the hogs, nnd their value
will be increased by the demand thus
created for them. The method of culti
vating the serum enn be taught at all the
agricultural experiment stations and on
the large stock farms, and with a little
experience farmers may he able to furnish
their own supply. The county agricul
tural societies can take up the matter,
and by co-operation their members can
reduce the cost nnd extend the usefulness
of the treatment.
Secretary Wilson estimates the annual
loss from hog cholera in the United States
from $90,0(10,000 to $100,000,000. In the
State of lowa alone, where statistics of
the mortality of the animals nfflicted with
this disease have been accurately kept,
the annual loss is $15,000,000. He be
lieves that nearly all this can be pre
vented.
In 1892 there were 52,398,019 swine in
the United States, valued at $295,42(5,-
492. That was high-water mark. Since
then their number and value have been
materially decreased by the cholera, and
the figures for 1897 were 40,(500,270 hogs,
valued at $106,272,770. These hogs nre
worth an average of $5.84 each. lowa
is the largest hog State in the country,
the census of 1897 showing 3,737,070 ani
mals, valued at $21,182,330. Missouri
comes next, then Texas, Ohio, Illinois,
Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Missis
sippi and other of the Southern States.
There was a decrease of 5.7 per cent in
the number and 10.9 in the value of hogs
in the United States last year.
RESIGNATION OF DR. HALL.

relations which had existed for so many
years.
Dr. Hall is the fifth pastor of this
church, which is ninety years old. He is
an Irishman by birth, born in Armagh in
1829, and is of Scotch ancestry. He has
filled three pastorates—at Armagh, St.
Mary’s Abbey in Dublin and the Fifth
Avenue charge. His salary is $15,000 and
the other emoluments bring it up to $30,-
000. The splendid temple in which Dr.
Hall has exercised h i tulents so effectu

LODGE S BILL PASSED.
Great Interest Taken in the Immigra
tion Measure.
The features of Monday’s proceedings
in the United States Senate were the
speech delivered by Senator Wolcott of
Colorudo, chairman of the bimetallic com
mission, upon the negotiations with Eu
ropean countries relative to international
bimetallism nnd the passage of ’he Lodge
bill restricting immigration into the Unit
ed States. The galleries were crowded
at an early hour. Unexpectedly Senator
Hanna appeared at the opening of the ses
sion. Mr. Foraker, the senior Senator
from Ohio, presented Mr. Hanna's cre
dentials for the remainder of Mr. Sher
man’s term. He escorted his colleague
to the drsk, where Vice-President Hobart
administered the oath.
At the conclusion of the morning busi
ness Mr. Wolcott began his address. He
was in fine voice and commanded the
earnest attention of his auditors. At the
conclusion of the speech Mr. Wolcott was
instantly surrounded by his Republican
colleagues, desirous of tendering to him
congratulations.
At the conclusion of Mr. Wolcott’s
speech the immigration bill was taken up
and discussed until 3 o’clock, the hour at
which, by previous agreement, it had been
arranged to vote finally upon the amend
ments and the bill. An amendment offer
ed by Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin providing
that the ability on the part of the immi
grant either to road or to write should
be accepted as a sufficient test of his lit
eracy was adopted. Another amendment
by Mr. Spooner providing that the mem
bers of the family accompanying the im
migrant rejected under the conditions of
the bill should be returned to the country
whence they came by the steamship com
panies was also adopted. Other efforts
were made to amend the measure, but
failed. The bill was then passed by a
vote of 45 to 28.
The bill as passed provides that all im
migrants physically capable and over 10
years of age shall be able to read or write
the English language or some other lan
guage; but a person not able to read or
write who is over 50 years of age and is
the parent or grandparent of a qualified
immigrant over 21 years of age and capa
ble of supporting such a parent or grand
parent may accompany the immigrant, or
the parent or grandparent may be sent
for and come to join the family: and a
wife or minor child not able to read or
write may accompany or be sent for and
come to join the husband or parent who
is qualified. This act does not apply to
persons coming to the United States from
the island of Cuba during the continuance
of present disorders there, who have here
tofore been inhabitants of that island.
GIVES SPAIN WARNING.
President Says Amcricnu Charity Will
Not Be Delayed.
Washington dispatch: The President
now knows that Spanish authorities are
hampering Consul General Lee in every
way possible. They do not want Ameri
cans to succor the starving Cubans. But
President McKinley has given assurance
thut all donations will reach Cubans. He
has given that assurance without any
communication with any representative of
Spain.
President McKinley has, after careful
consideration of the complaint that sup
plies sent from Philadelphia to Havana
have not reached Consul General Lee,
given out the statement that all dona
tions to Cuba will be distributed by Gen.
Lee. When this statement was given out
by Judge Day no assurance of a change
of policy in Havana had come from Gen.
Lee or from Minister de Lome.
The assurance to the American people
that their contributions would be distrib
uted in Cuba was simply the assurance
of the President of the United States, who
is conscious of his right and power to see
thnt it is made good. President McKin
ley has indulged in no threat against
Spain. lie hns simply assured the Amer
ican people that he wil see that their
contributions are distribir and to the starv
ing Cubans. Those who have watched
developments believe that this will be by
intervention with force.
With only the report that supplies that
have been in Havana more than a week
have not yet reached Let*, there is but
one explanation of the President’s confi
dence, and that is in his own power to see
that they are distributed. It has been
understood from the beginning that the
Spanish authorities objected to Lee dis
tributing these supplies. They wanted
the distribution made by Spanish priests
or the Spanish police, and only the Presi
dent’s decided stand against such a pro
gram brought Minister de I.orac to terms.
SUICIDE BARS INSURANCE.
fupreme Justice Harlan, at Washing
ton, Hands Down a Decision.
In the United States Supreme Court
Monday Justice Harlan handed down an
opinion in the case of A. Howard Ritter,
executor of William M. Runk, against the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of New
York, involving the question of whether
the heirs of a man who commits suicide
when in sound mind can recover on an
insurance policy. The court held that
they could not.
It appeared from the facts stated that
Mr. Runk. a resident of Philadelphia,
committed suicide less than a year after
increasing his insurance to the extent of
$200,000, making an aggregate insurance
of $500,000 upon his life. Of the $200,-
000 the New York company carried $75,-
000, which it refused to pay on the ground
that Runk was sane when he took his
life. It was shown in the trial court that
he had written a letter the day before hi*
death stating that it was his purpose to
put an end to his life so that ais life insur
ance money could be collected for the pay
ment of his debts.
In deciding the case Justice Harlan said
that when an insurance company entered
into a contract to insure a man’s life neith
er party ,j the contract could be suppos
ed to have suicide in contemplation, and
it was not intended in entering into such
a contract that the life of the person in
sured should bo at the option of other of
the parties. In fixing tlio premium the
company would naturally take into consid
eration the circumstances bearing upon
the duration of life, anl no company
would undertake to insure against suicide.
If any should make snch an attempt, he
said, it would he against public policy
and would not bo allowed. Concluding,
he said explicitly that no insured person
committing suicide and found to be of
sound mind could recover upon his pol
icy.
WILD hmCeTfOR A FORTUNE.
George Graham Locates an Overlooked
. Klondike Claim.
With the t .ermometer 30 degree* below
zero, a midnight race over thirty-five
miles of rough mountain country in the
heart of the Klondike has earned for
George Graham, a Shelton logger, the first
prize of shaking off overlooked and unreg
iste and placer claims valued at $200,000.
Graham was at the Canadian register’s
office on the afternoon of Nov. 15, when
a man rushed in and filed a claim on
I- reach Pete creek, which adjoins the
richest part of Eldorado. He had discov
ered that n the rush to the Klondike
five claims n French Pete creek hud been
overlooked.
Graham rushed to locate the others,
having given the tip to three of his
friends. They were followed in a wild
race by 200 other miners, but succeeded
in getting on the coveted ground first.
BIG MILL STRIKE IS NOW ON.
Cotton Operatives Refuse to Accept a
Cut in Wuges.
A reduction in the wages of 125,000 op
eratives employed in nearly 150 cotton
mills in New England, which the manu
facturers decided upon as a temporary
remedy for the depression in the cotton
goods industry of the North, went into
effect Monday morning.
In six of the mill centers, namely, New
Bedford, ltiddeford, Saco, Fall River,
Fitchburg and Lewiston, 10,745 mill
hands struck. The twenty-two mills of
the former city, which gave employment
to 8,730 hands, were shut down because
the operatives have refused to accept the
rediutiou, and the strike thus inaugurated
prom.ses to be one of the most protracted
and stubbornly contested in the history
of the textile industry. The operatives
are fighting for the abolition of the fining
system, in addition to a restoration of
wages. There was no violence about the
mill gates, and no large gath*. rings on the
streets.
The 3,500 employes at the Laconia and
PeppereH mills at Biddeford refused to
go to work under the new scLeduQ and
it is thought the strike there will not be
settled easily. About 1,000 of the work
ing force at the York milu in Saco went
on strike and those mills will be closed.
The Androscoggin mills nt Lewiston und
the King Philip plant in Full River were
hundicapped by a strike of a number of
the hands and the Queen City mills of
Burlington, Vt., are closed on account ot'
a strike which followed the posting of
notices of a reduction. In Fitchburg 225
employes of the Nockege mills struck, and
in the King Philip mills at Fall River
1,100 quit. In Burlington 300 are out
and in Lewiston 1,200 struck.
The mills in Fall River, with the ex
eeption of the Fall River Iron Works and
Durfee & SeaconneJt plants, reduced
wages Jan. 3, on the same day a cut down
went into effect at the big Amoskeag cor
poration of Manchester, the Naumkeug
mills at Salem, the China, Webster and
Pembroke mills at Suncook, N 11., and a
number of towns in Worcester County.
The Fall River mills employ about 27,000,
the Amoskeag 9,000, and the others which
adopted the new scale the first of the
year about 5,000 hands.
The reduction Monday affected the cot
ton mills of Maine, Rhode Island, Connec
ticut, the mills of New Bedford, Lowell
and a large number of smaller centers in
Massachusetts and New Hampshire. In
New Bedford alone $22,000,000 capital is
rendered idle by the strike.

Food Pol* ion ia g.
“A saying that is literally true,” re
marked a physician the other day, “is
that setting forth the doctrine that
one man’s meat is another man's poi
son. Within a short time I have treat
ed two curious cases of what I may
term eruptive indigestion. In the first
1 chanced to meet the man on the street
in the moruing. He was apparently
perfectly well. At 5 o’clock 1 was
summoned to his residence. I should
not have recognized him, so distorted
were his features from the eruption
which covered them. Investigation and
the future History of the case settled
beyond a doubt that the man had been
poisoned by clams which he had eaten
at luncheon, yet the disturbance was
for him alone, other members of the
family who had partaken of the same
dish feeling no ill results. A fortmjht
later another patient of mine came to
me with a marked eruption on hands
and wrists and between the fingers. A
dinner of veal was responsible for the
trouble, and again, as in the firs: in
stance, the sufferer was the only one
affected of the family who had par
taken of the meat at the same meal.
In each case I found that the tendency
to distress from the particular food
was known to each sufferer, although
never before had the symptoms been
so marked or distressing. This Is, per
haps. a word of warning to persons
who know their poison to abstain from
it, particularly when their systems may
be f.*om some cause In a non-resisting
state.’’—New York Evening Post.

WISCONSIN’S RECORD.
FAITHFULLY TOLD IN READABLE
SHAPE.
Experimenting with Tuberculosis in
Cattle Swamp Lands in Portage
County Bought by Chicago Men—
Good Templars ta Have u School-
Fire at Eland.
Experiment on Calves.
For two years past the experiment sta
tion connected with the State university
has been experimenting with tuberculosis
in cattle, operating on a herd near Cedar
burg, of which sixteen out of twenty-three
cattle were affected with the disease. The
experiments were conducted for the pur
pose of ascertaining if it were possible to
raise healthy calves from cows affected
with tuberculosis. They were entirely
successful, as during the two years a
healthy calf has been obtained in every
case from the affected cows —twinty-four
calves in all. The calves were taken from
their mothers immediately after birth and
fed Pasteurized milk. Equally successful
have been the results obtained in stopping
the progress of the disease entirely by iso
lating the diseased animals.
To Estublish a School.
A committee of the grand lodge of the
Independent Order of Good Templars Las
been engaged in examining various lakes
in Waupaca County for the purpose of
ft’.ding a suitable location for a summer
training school for members of the order.
Several promising spots were considered,
but a final decision was deferred until a
more favorable season of the year. Wau
paca is considered a suitable county in
which to locate the school on account of
its central position und excellent railroad
facilities.
l’nrchuse Swamp Lands.
Two thousand acres of swamp lands in
Portage County have been purchased
from the State by G. W. Boyce of Chi
cago, representing the Land and Improve
ment Compnuy of thnt city. The price
was 75 cents ari acre. The plans of the
company, according to Mr. Boyce, are to
purchase large tracts of such lands in sev
eral parts of the State, drain them, dear
them of timber, divide them into farms
of moderate size, nnd settle farmers on
them from the East and other parts of the
United Slates.
Harbor Improvements.
The Advancement Association and the
Manitowoc City Council are to a unit in
favor of that city having a large amount
of dredging done during the present year.
Add to this the amount of dredging which
will be done at this port by tin* United
States Government and the Chicago and
Northwestern and Wisconsin Central
Railroad Companies, SIOO,OOO would be
a conservative estimate of the amount
of money which will be expended the pres
ent year for this purpose.
Cross Country lilectric Line.
President John M. Semanii of the She
boygan Electric Railway Company has
made a proposition to the Sheboygan Ad
vancement Association for the connection
of that city with the main line of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road by
a railway to Plymouth. He estimates the
cost of this railway between Sheboygan
and Plymouth, fully equipped, at about
$340,000, and proposes to have it in op
era (ion by Sept. 1 next, provided the city
will contribute $45,000 toward the cost.
Mill and Year’s Cut Burned.
Fire, which evidently broke out over
the engine room of the mill of the luger
soll Land and Lumber Company, three
miles from Eland Junction, destroyed
most of the lumber representing the cut of
the past season. The loss is estimated
at $70,000. It is thought tlmt the fire

THE CANADIAN GOLD FIELDS.
They Do Not All Lie in the Tnkon.
IT The ex
citement of
• Cana diaii
Yukon in the search for gold, and has
diverted the attention of many others.
But in order to get there it is necessary
that a man should be possessed of the
best of health, strong powers of endur
ance and considerable means. He leaves
his wife and bis family for a considerable
period, and the hardships he has to endure
are all unknown ta him.
Canada has other gold fields, though.
They are the fields that produce her gold
en grain. This year the crop of Manitoba,
lying directly north of North Dakota,
yielded 21,000,000 bushels of wheat alone.
The current price averages 70 cents,
which, as a local paper puts it, “makes
the product in gold this year, for wheat
alone, equal to a value of $15,900,000.”
Twenty thousand farmers did this, or an
average to each producer of about $798.
“But these same farmers are not living
by wheat alone. This is only one source
of revenue to them out of many. They
have also beef, butter, potatoes, oats,
barley and poultry to sell, and sometimes
other things, so that it may be fairly es
timated that their incomes will average
at least SI,OOO per farmer. Thus Mani
toba’s fields have yielded this year fully
$20,000,000 in gold, divided among 20,000
actual producer* and a general popula
tion of about 200,000.”
After counting the cost of stamp mills,
expenses of men, etc., rich as is the Klon
dike, such vast wealth as is being taken
out of the soil in raising wheat in this one
province, cannot possibly be secured in
any mining district. Of course mining de
velopment assists agricultural develop
ment, and that is why the Government of
Canada feels so much assurance in pre
dicting prosperity to all who take up fara s
in Canada. Western Canada to-day
promises more than any other known field
t l ' *is open to immigration. Farms oi.'
aoO acres, capable of producing the best
No. 1 hard wheat, yielding thirty to forty
bushels to the acre, are given away free.
Railways, markets, schools, churches—ali
are convenient. The Canadian form of
government is one of the most liberal
known, and a hearty welcome is given to
settlers of all nationalities. Already there
are many settlers gone in from the States,
and the reports from them are highly fav
orable. Tbo*e desiring information as to
free homestead laws, low transportation
rates, etc., will have pamphlets, etc., sent
free on application to the Department of
the Interior, Ottawa, or to any agent of
the Government,

A man who was offering for sale a
small Newfoundland puppy appeared
ou Chestnut street the other day, and
quite unintentionally offered a good
deal of amusement to the promenad
ers. Of course he was pleased at the
notice which he attracted, but he
couldn’t see what there was so funny
about either himself or the dog. He
had bought one of those ready-made
handbills, such as are pasted upon
houses, reading: “For sale. Inquire
within.” With an ordinary lead pencil
he had crossed off the word “within,”
and, making a period after “inquire,"
tied it around the puppy's body. But
the lines of erasure were so faint that
ten feet away the handbill appeared in
its original form. A small boy who
saw the joke approached the man and
asked: “Say, mister, did de growler
swallor his owner?”
“No; don’t git gay, Johnny,” said the
man.
“Well,den, who do youse ask fur w’en
youse gits inside?” queried tbr, small
boy. Then the man saw the point and
tore off the lower half of the placard,
so that it read simply: “For sale.”—

The Sui'ar s Jewels.
The Sultan of Turkey is said to pos
sess one of the finest collections of jew
els in the world. They are kept in the
Seraglio at Constantinople in one par
ticular room. A striking feature of this
treasure house is the many gilded bird
cages which, studded with jewels, hang
from the frescoed ceiling. And odd as
It may seem a jeweled clock lies face
downward in each cage. The finest and
rarest gems in the Sultan’s collection
are woven into embroidered texts from
the Koran on deep red velvet, whilst
the necklaces, too, are particularly
fine. The curiosity of the collection Is

MET A SWIFT HUMILIATION.
An Arrogant Father Humbled by HU
12-Year-Old Son.
“It is an everlasting and incontro
vertible fact.” remarked the under
sized man, “that pride goes before a
fall. 1 used to have some doubts on
the subject, but they have all been
swept away by the events of this after
noon.”
“It was a sudden conversion?”
“Yes, but it was a complete one. I
am not in the liablt of gloating over the
misfortunes of others, but I must con
fess that a great wave of satisfaction
went over mo when I saw the proud
structure of self-esteem which Foftlns
has been rearing all these years totter
and tumble to the dust."
“Has lu* met with difficulty?”
“Yes. And it did me good to see how
he got red in the face ami then turned
pale when lie realized the position.”
“He has a haughty manner. You
see, he is a self-made man, and, as a
consequence, takes especial pride in
his success. Reverses cannot fail to go
hard with him.”
“This one did.”
“You were with him when the blow
fell. And instead of sympathizing
with him you turn around and exult iu
his misery.”
"Well, if you want to put it iu that
kind of language, it’s what I'm doing,
lie had been talking loud and had suc
ceeded in convincing me that 1 didn’t
know much and that wliat I did know
wasn’t of any account. He had boon
laying down the law on every question
that came up for conversation and
showing me where all the theories 1
had ever formed about anything from
politics to ladling an egg were totally
wrong. Then came the crash, the aw
ful Instant in which what seemed to Ik 1
a tower of strength proved as flimsy
and jieri&hable as the decoration ou a
wedding cake!”
“The blow came in the shape of a
telegram ?”
“No. It was delivered by one of his
own family, lie had just settled Iu his
chair with his thumbs in the armholes
of his vest, to enjoy my silent embar
rassment, when his 12-year-old son
came into the room with a lot of things
he wanted Ids father to tell Idm about
the siege of Troy, the battle of Ther
mopylae and to extract the eul*e root.”
Chinese Almanacs.
The almanac is the most important of
books to the Chinese. Its space is far
too important to be occupied with the
matter which fills Western almanacs.
It contains astronomical information
which is useful; but its great mission
is to give full and accurate information
for selecting lucky places for perform
ing all the acts, great and small, of
their every-day life. And as every act
of life in China, however trivial, de
pends for its success on the time in
which, and the point of compass to
ward which it is done, it is of the ut
most importance to the Chinese that
everyone should have correct informa
tion available at all times to so order
ids life as to avoid bad luck and calam
ity, and secure good luck and prosper
ity. Consequently the almanac is, per
haps, the most universally circulated
book in China.
A Good Dictionary for Two Cents.
A dictionary containing the definitions
of 10,000 of the most us. ful and import
ant words in the English language is
published by the Dr. Williams Medicine
Cos., Schenectady, N. Y. While it contains
some advertising, it is a complete diction
ary, concise and correct.
In compiling this book care has been
taken to omit none of those common
words whose spelling or exact use occa
sions at times a uicmeutaiy difficulty,
even to well educated people. The main
aim has been to give as much useful in
formation as possible in a limited space.
With this iu view, where noun, adjective
and verb are ali obviously connected iu
meaning, usually one only has been in
serted. The volume will thus be found to
contain the meaning of very many more
words than it professes to explain.
To those who already have a diction
ary, this book will cumuli ..d itself be
cause it is compact, light and conveuiei..: j
to those who have no dictionary what- '
ever, it will be invaluable. One may be i
secured by writing to the above concern,
mentioning this paper, and enclosing a
