From the New York Tribune, Some account is being made in the sclen- tifle papers of the powerful disinfecting rroperties of “peroxide of hydrogen, also recommended and used with advantage as a gargle in cases of diphtheria, tn which respect it has recently been again brought to netice as a most useful means of protec- | tion against that disease during an epi demic. In addition to the above, ft has been used as a handy method of removing tacteria from drinking water for household purposes during outbreaks of cholera or cther zymotic diseases. It appears, as the result of ca7eful scientific investigation, that the addition of one part of this ma- terial to 1,44x) parts of water, when allowed to stand for twenty-four hours, will effec- | tually destroy any choleva or typhold germs which may be present—the taste of the wa- fering in no wise from the alteration. | ort, however, to this expedient, in- an essential point the emplo; t peroxide of hydrogen th: as it may contain minve the poisonous barium chloride, and, to insure its acting efficiently on the microbes, the samples used should be fresh- ly prepared. 004 That Fearful and Wonde From Truth, Barker— reason Griggs—“I know It; but it's the English translation of an Italian opera libretto!” i Text. ‘Sure, this is neither rhyme nor PROMISED ADVANTAGES BALTIMORE, Md., July 20, 1894. In spite of the warm weather and the gen- eral dullness of the summer season, this city is taking a very active interest in the project to cut a ship canal across the Maryland and Delaware peninsula, and there is gen- eral gratification that the amendment to the river and harbor bill, providing for the appointment of a commission, has been agreed to without objection. That Baltt- more {s counting on Washington's favor in the enterprise is very evident from the remarks of Gen, Felix Agnus, whose ad- dress before the Merchants and Manu- facturers’ Association three months ago was the beginning of the movement which developed into a public mass meeting under the auspices of the city council, _ “Of course we expect Washington to help us,” said Gen. Agnus to a representa- tive of The Star, “and we think that there will be no question about your assistance as soon as your people fully realize the pcssibilities of the work and the benefit to your own city. We in Maryland have an idea that Washington is a part of our- selves, not only because Maryland gave the ground which became the District of Columbia, but especially because of the in- numerable local ties and circumstances which give your population and our popa- lation a community of interest. Your laws are Maryland's f:ws, and President, Cleve- land robbed our state of one of the ablest judges it has ever known to head your urt of Appeals. Another thing is. the nearness of the two cities. Before we got our splendid system of rapid transit it was a fact that one could jump en a train and reach Washington sooner than he could go to some sections of Baltimore by street car. The’ time is rapidly coming when Washington and Baltimore will be con- nected by towns and villages that will be practically a continuous settlement all along the less than forty miles that divide us, The boulevard scheme now in abeyance will be carried cut, and the electric road will undoubtedly be buiit.” “Then you think that city development in this region is just beginning?” “I remember when Mr. Shepherd returned from New Mexico that The Star, more than all other forces, was responsible for the great ovation which was tendered to him. ‘The event was instructive to all your peo- ple, because it showed the tremendous {m- Ppertance of a man who could look far into the future and carry out great ideas in spite of the bickerings arid snarls of the lit- tle objectors who were barking at his hee What he did for Washingtom is, as your pa- per said, of inestimabte value, which will increase with every generation. Washing- ton was fortunate beyand any other Ameri- can city in having had. thig experience, for it is not until now that otter cities are be- ginning to appreciate the necessity of doing big things and looking far into the next century. « ¢ ‘The Star, in common with othe: news- papers, has commented very freely upon the census figures showing the general tendency toward urbay deyelopment in this country. It ts true fhat*our cities have grown at a wonderful rite in the past twenty years, but you will be surprised to know that between ISSO and 1800 the Evro- pean cities far exceeded us. We in Balti- mcre thought we had domé very well when we added a hundred tuousind to our popu- lation in ten years, bat we were not quite so proud when we found out that Hamburg, which was Baltimore's size, added about two hundred thousand in the same pertod.” “How was it done?” “Simply by organizing itself for growth. Ipstead of waiting for prosperity to come, sitting with folded hands for a shower of sold, It used its surplus capital {n providing the finest facilities for commerce that skill and money could furnish. “Read Dr. Al- bert Shaw's recent article mM the Century and you will man cities have increased their prosperity by organization aud enterprise. Cities are for the most part business corporations, and like all business bodies they have got to be moving if they expect to prosper. In this country, I am glad to say, our cities are beginning to apprectate their responsi- bilities and their opportunities, and there is not one of them which is not now dis- cursing some great business project in- volving millions of dollars. Boston wants to improve her harbor along the line fol- lowed by Hamburg; New York, which on- ly a few years ago spent fifteen millions for a bridge to connect New York and Brook- lyn, simply to accommodate local traffic, is today about to spend forty-five millions to unite New Jersey and New York, and is contemplating the erection of two other bridges at an expense of twenty-five mil- all for the simple benefit of local bus- Chicago is boi ding a canal at the cost of millions as a sclution of the sewage question, with the probability that it-will be widened to unite Lake Michigan and the Mississippi river by ship navigation, In Baltimore we are spending six millions on local improvements, and we are going to build this’ship canal.” “Suppose, general, you give The Star, briefly, an outline of the project.” What the Plans Look Like. “With pleasure. Let us take a map and we may see the whole situation at a glance. Baltimore is at the upper end of the Chesa- peal bay. It is nearer to the west and southwest, and even to the northwest, by more than one hundred miles, than either Philadelphia, New York or Boston. The trade of twenty states uses it as their sea- port. Its harbor is never closed. It has plenty of water, and the best elevator and immigration facilides in the United States. It ranks next to-New York as a port of ex- port. It is closer to the coal fields than any other const city, and all the advantages of materials, labor and situation are in its favor, but there is one obstacle which grows more serious every year, It is the long de- tour down the Chesapeake bay around Cape Charles, which means the loss of a day to the ships. We can obviate that oniy a canal across the peninsula. Under the very able supervision of Col. William P. Craigiill the peninsula has been thoroughly surveyed, and six routes re- ported upon. By the best of these routes two hundred and eighteen miles could be saved to commerce, and the work could be done for twenty militons of dollars, for, you must remember, that egnal construction has advanced with tie rest of the world, and there are machiges that can each do daily the work of two thousand men. In this enterprise there fvould be no difficulty, and only plain digging ‘through friendly ‘How about the military Importance’ was coming to that. Col. Craighill, you perhaps know, {s'the president of the American Society of Civil Engineers—a very high honor, whi¢h whs first conferred upontea member of the United States corps of engineers when he was unanimously elected. In his address at Buffalo a few days ago Col. Craighif dwelt upon the sub- ject as of absolute importance in_connec- tion with the nation’s defenses. ‘There is,’ said he, ‘another most important element in our defensive system which deserves ex- tensive development, and fortunately public attention seems to be turning very much in that direction. I refer to the ship canal. Our Atlantic and Gulf coast is so very long that the Interior line of the waterway parallel to {t, which could be made so easily, is of very great importance. Its advan- tages are great from the commercial point of view In time of peace, and in time of war with a great maritime power, its usefulness to our naval and merchant marine would be incalculable. The interior water route parallel to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts would énable the navy to pass rapidly and frecly from point to point, even if the coast were blockaded, and thus, as 1t were, mul- Aiply itself. For National Defense. “Take, for instance, the advantages of a ship canal connecting the great bays of tie Chesapeake and the Delaware. It would enabiy a single fleet to be prepared to promptly meet an enemy threatening either of those bays, and while waiting for his plans to develop, it could remain in a se- cure harbor in the canal, from which it nd how wonderfully the Gen commercial sense, interests western ship- pers by offering a shorter, cheaper and less dangerous route to Europe, and also those engaged in coastwise commerce, while to the army and navy, by giving unimpeded Movement to fleets, to troops, and muni- tions of war, such irterior ways would pre- sent advantages that have long been recog- nized by both naval and military men, The people of Philadelphia are also fully alive to the importarce of the inland canal be- twee that city and New York. In time of war it would enable the government to move its fleets from the mouth of the Dela- ware to New York in perfect safety. Then if the Chesapeake and Delaware canal were also made into a ship route, Norfolk, Wash- ington and New York would be in close communication with one another. If the water front should be beleaguered by an enemy, this inside line would become al- most invaluable. As for merchant vessels, there would be no storms for them to ec! counter, no possibilities of shipwreck. Thi would be in land-iocked waters all the tim: Nothing I could say could add to the force of this, especially as it comes from one of the most distinguished engineers in the world.” Where Washington Comes In, “What is Washington's direct interest in the making of this canal?” “There are many of your own citizens who remember that for many years the scheme of extending the Chesapeake and Ohio canal to Baltimore or to the Chesa- peake bay was actively advocated. A char- ter was secured for the building of the canal from Washington to connect with the west branch of the Patapsco river. Surveys and reports upon the extension of the Chesa. peake and Ohio canal from Georgetown to Baltimore were made as far back as 1827, and you will be surprised to know that by beginning at a point on the Eastern branch of the Potomac river near Bladensburg on! twenty-seven miles would have to be con- structed to reach the Patapsco near the Elkridge landing, and the estimated co: was only $3,500,000, Furthermore, estimate were made for a canal from the head of tide on the western branch of the Poiomac Yiver to a point on the Chesapeake bay south of Annapolis, and the cost was placed at between $3,000,000 and $1,000,000, I_re- ceived recently from Mr. William R. Hut- ton, the engineer of New York who made a report upon ihese surveys, a letter, in which the different projects were described. I mention them now simply to impress upon you what is to follow. Consult your map ain and you will find that a cana. con- ting Washington with the Chesapeake bay and taking Annupolis in the route will be only about twenty miles long. To South river it would be less. To the head of creek it would be only fifteen miles. are now 116 1-2 miles from the mouth of the Potomac. Instead of that long, meandering, gerous course down the Potomac river you could reach the bay through the canal in two or three hours, and in a few more you could reach the Atlantic ocean, making the capital also a great seaport. At the rate of increase which you are enjoying in your city it will not be so very many years before you will have a million population. Inevitably Washington will. be the great capital? not only of politics, which it is now, and of society, which it partially fs, but of eulture and society and all the things that make Paris the center of France and Lon- don the better part of Great Britain. The national interests, which are increasing in value so amazingly, will make Washington's importance grow greater and stronger every day. It will be necessary as a matter of ordinary prudence to have our capftal pro- tected by wager as well as by land, and, furthermore, the conveniences to business and commerce, both of which are increas- ing in your city, will demand better ac- commodations, You may spend hundreds of millions of dollars in deepening and broad- ening the channel of the Potomac river, but even if you spend billions you could not gain a fraction of the benefits that would come to you by the construction of the short canal, which would place you in line with our own enterprise.” Maryland Has the Money to Invent. “Who is to supply the money for your canal? Twenty millions is a large sum, and that, if I understand it, does not Include enything for our Washington canal.” “I speak of the Washington canal as a coming result of the building of our canal. We would not expect it to be done until the other project was completed, and it is to emphasize the possibilities of our own plan that we wish Washington to appreciate che advantages that may come to her. course we expect no money from your peo- ple, but we do want their favor and their interest. We want them to talk about the project In such a way as will keep men ir public life alive to its importance. The peo- ple of Maryland expect to build tiis great work themselves. The appointment of the commission is simply to get the most disin- terested body possible to solect the best of the routes that have been surv: a.” “Maryland will take a preity gvod ccn- tract if she tries to build this by herself, will she not?” “Maryland is small comparatively, but I would like -you to point out, if you can, a state which has done bigger things than she has. At our meeting in Baltimore last month Senater Gorman made one of the strongest speeches ever delivered by him—a speech that was received with marked en- thusiasm by people of all parties in the Academy of Music. He then said this of Maryland: ‘Its residents were the first of any state in the Union to give encouragement to manufacturers, ihe first to appropriate from its treasury money to construct a turnpike. It was Baltimore and M. land, poor as they were, that constructed the canal along the Potomac up to Cumberland. It was Baltimore and Maryland tnat poured out their money to construct the railroad which may be called the father of all others.’ And he went on to say that when Baltimore wanted her harbor improved she did not wait for Congress to do it, but be- gan the work by spending a half miltion dollars of her own mor Marylaad did these things atan expens: many million of dolars,which brought her finances at one time toa low ebb, but she has never re- pudiated a solitary cent of her obligations, but paid everything and everybody in full and is today practically out of debt. The amount of money needed for the canal means only about 50 cents per capita in’ st charge on her population per year, and with the increase that the project Is ‘sure to bring the burden, slight as it would be, would soon turn into a blessing. The canal must be built.” Gen. Agnus then went rapidly over the canal history of the world and showed that these artificial channels of trade already have a total length of 25,000 miles. Most of them, however, are the shallow ditches of China, India and Europe that will only ac- commodate small boats. In this country the canal construction reached nearly 5,000 miles, representing a total cost of about $210,000,000, This seems to be a canal year. The Manchester canal was opened in Janu- ary, the Baltle and North sea canal, cn which Germany and Russia have spent nearly $50,000,000, will soon be finished, and Canada’s canal at Sault Saint Marte, which cost $6,000,000, was completed this month, As soon as the river and barbor bill ts signed, and the President appvints the com- mission, it is expected that work will be at once begun on the selection of the route for the Maryland ship canal. —_.——-- Killed by a Bee's Sting. From the Bethlehem (Pa.) Times, The sting of a honey bee resulted in the death on Saturday of James D. Godshalk, a leading business man of Lansdale. Several days ago he was extracting honey from a hive, when a pugnacious little bee lighted upon his chin and sank his poison-laden weapon through the skin. Godshalk at once suffered the most intense pain. He had often been stung in handling bees, but had never experienced such agony before. He applied a few simple remedies, such as all agriculturists know of, and then went to a physician. The doctor said the bee's fang had penetrated the pneumogastric nerve, and that the heart and lungs were greatly affected by the poison. Gudshalk grew worse all the while, suffering the most intense pain. Medicine failed to relieve him, and he died on Saturday. -o+—____ At Fayetteville, W. Va., Wash.

AYamni and Students Greatly Inter- esied in the Project—Other items of M jcal Interest. There has been no college glee club in this city that was capable of traveling to other cities and giving concerts, as has been the case with prominent colleges elsewhere. The students and alumni of Columbian Col- lege have determined to organize a univer- sity glee club and have issued a circular to thelr associates, in which they express the belief that with the proper effort a glee club may be formed in connection with the uni- versity that will rival any college glee club in the country. The matter has been can- vassed quite extensively and a temporary organization has been formed, with Mr. Frank H. Hitchcock as president and Mr. S. Hazen Bond as secretary. They have secured the co-operation of Mr. N. Du Shane Cloward, who has agreed to become the musical director of the organization when it shall be formed and has expressed a w! ting- ness to devote a portiqn of his tfme this summer to the examination of voices. It is proposed, so the circular states, that those whose voices om experience would not at present permit them to sing in the glee club shall be admitted to membership in the Co- lumbian Glee Club Association and from this association to graduate voices as they impreve Into the glee club proper. Mr. Cloward has fixed the following hours at which he will be in his studio and examine the voices of those who desire to connect themselves with this organization: Monda: and Thursday, 1 to 3 p.m.; Wednesday, & to 5 p.m.; Tuesday and Friday, 5 to 6 p.m. To show that the matter has been quite well discussed the following signatures are appended to the circular: Frank H. Hitch- cock, "#4, temporary chairman; Walter Rus- sell Hensey, #4; Milton Lel “ws; Messmore Kendall, 's8; Cl E. Howe, ‘83; Arle W. Starck, 03; Melville D. Hensey, ‘v2; Ralph R.

That it was the popular and catch- O§| ing composition that made the most money, while those who endeavored to present oniy artistic work got merely their trouble for their pains. This, it is believed, is an un- just reflection upon the musical inteili- gence and culture of the people of this Dis- triet. There is today a higher standard of musical knowledge and of musical appre- ciation in Washington than ever before and that standard is increasing year by year. High-priced entertainments are not always so well patronized here in some other cities because there {s not so much wealth, or, rather, the wealth is confined to a com- paratively few, in this District. As an evidence of the appreciation in this com- munity of the best class of music it need only be stated that the seats for the series of concerts given by the Boston Symphony Orchestra are nearly entirely sold before the first concert is given. This has been the case for several years and there is no doubt that such will continue to be the practice so long as that excelent organiza- tion of musicians shall visit this city. It is belleved that the same result will obtain next fall when Mr. Seidl shall bring his or- chestra here. The tronage which was given the Choral. society last season is another evidence of the appreciation of this community of the efforts of {ts local sing- ers, This society never did better work than it did last year, and its labors were satisfactorily rewarded. It is @elieved that with the program marked out for next sea- son, which has already been publishe? in The Star, the result will show even better than last year. It is giving more ambi- tious works and fn that way is bringing up to a higher standard the taste of its audiences, A new song, entitled “Look in My Heart and See,” by Miss Angeline Andrews, is being much sunx ard admired by musical people, Miss Andrews ts a society girl of Ratcliffe College and Cambridge, Masa, ani enjoys the distinction of being the only girl who has completely mastered all the courses in music offered at Harvard. She has many friends in this city. There is probably no city where the banjo is more generally played than in Washing- ton. It has become the fad in social cir- cles and besides there are musicians who have taken up this purely and distinctively American instrument because of a love for its quaint tone and the fact that much more can be made out of it than the plunk- ity-plunk of the old negro minstrel. It is a fact, however, that there has never been any uniform method of fingering the banjo adopted, and {it is a go-as-you-please, but get there, with all the players. Mr. W. G. Collins of this city, however, has com- menced the agitation of a uniform method of fingering and has written on the sub- ject to several publications that are par- ticularly for banjo players. He says he proposes to keep up the discussion until some plan is arrived at, for, according to his view, the banjo has now attained a dignity as an instrument that justifies teachers and soloists in coming together in a uniform way of producing effects. The English teror, Mr. T. William Pear- man, has come to this city and one day this week sang before quite a number of musicians in Metzerott Hall. He developed a voice of much sweetness, of good range and volume. He will sing at St. John’s Churen st the 5 o'clock ‘afternoon service tomorrow. He has had considerable ex- perience in oratorio, concert and chotr work, and if he decides to locate in Washington he will be a decided acquisition in musical circles, —_—_—__ In the Regular Row From Pack.

From the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. “Tt is not likely that burglary Insurance will ever becomne very general,” said Thos. H.

Many accident insurance companies ate now insuring people against the risk of being injured by a burgdar, and, as about one per- son in a million gets so hurt every yeat, such insurance ought to be very profitable, Insurance against loss from housebreaking is the result of a joke perpetrated by a man who was going to Europe and who asked an insurance man whether he would insure bis oods agairst burglars during his absence, § his surprise the broker took him up, and to the broker's surprise and annoyance hie client's house was ransacked from cellar to basement while he was away. There are three or four burglar insurance companies doing a profitable business in London, but it is only where the police supervision is very Strict that it is safe to carry risks,”
