THE SECOND DAY'S SESSION. EBohanan's Hall Again Resounds with Prohibition Oratory. EOILESWBOYCOTT ON THE BEE. - A Delegate with Job's Affliction for A Surname Comes to a Head — Improved Stock Breeders. Lixcowy, Neb,, Feb. 20.—[Special to Trn Bre.]—The cold weather of this morning failed to Jdampen the ardor of the prohi- bitionists, At 9 o'clock Bohanan's hall was well filled and a haif hour iater Chairman Bentley called the convention to order. Huckins and his choir were on the rostrum, and the encores thoy received as ong fol- lowed soni caused the blood 10 circulate and “eroat-coats’” were doffed as though it were midsummer, Rev. Bocbe of Broken the invoeation, As the committee on resolutions was not ready to report short speeches were callod for. Answering to this part of the programme Rev. Detwiler of Kansas said that he came from the picket line and could smell victory in the air. “The conditions,” said the speaker, ‘‘are all favorable.” I had the misfortune to participate in the disastrous campaign for prohibition 1 Peunsylvanis, but throughout it struggle not a swngle ray of hope moved my heart. Yet we have been successful in all of our campaigns whero in- telligence existed in any degree, The defeat in Pennsylvania is attributable to the fact that the lquor element Afor five years prior tothe issue shipped Hungarians into the densely populated cities and mining regions of the state by the thousand to vote crucifixion to wives and mathers, a class of men, let mo say, a8 igaor- ant us the cattle that feed on the prairies of the state.”” In conciusion the speaker thanked God that he bailed frow prohibition Kansas. Colonel Holt of Custer county, in response to m cull, said that he aid not believe that the convention could afford to spend time in Listening to ten-minute speeches. Ho thought time could be better employed in organiza- tion aud determining apon a plan of work. He told & story at the expense of Omaha’s bog-killer and sat down. Said that the rea- sou this official refused to sivn the pleage at his request was because he feared that the ci‘:I\, uncil would refuse to appoint him to oftice. Lem J. Smith, of Bloomingtoa, Ill, said that the signs of tho timds indicated that reforms moved westward; that Nobraska i November would form one of five of a block of states in the central union that would touch the circumference of every pont for prohibition. Mrs. Jennie Holmes of Tecumseh was called for and said thut she wished to call attention to the fact that there were but tbree elements of success 1 any work or campaigu, viz: first. organization; second, organization; third, organigation. 'The ap- plause that greeted her truly worded state- ment indicated that the convention had tumbled tu the necessities of the hour, Rev. Vibbert of Boston grow so eloquent that the mania for speeches con- tinued. ‘This speaker took special pleasure iu arraigning the alleged measures of protection adobted by the Liquor Deulers® association to defeat prohibition in the state. Said that $1,000,000 had oeen subscribed and raised to buy up votes, and that s certain Omaha paper was to receive $100,000 of that sum to fight its battles prior to the final struggle. Rev. A. R. Cornwall of Aberdeen, Dak., denominuted the present battle the Gettys- burg of the prohibition struggle in the unjon. Expressed no doubt but what Ne- braska would follow the example of the Da- kotas. Advised organization and unity of action. Told the story of tho battle and vic- tory in South Dakota, and called upon the voters of Nebraska to fall into line for a like grand result. Cornwall was quite witty. Chancellor Creighton said that he was glad to live in the age that would witne: the two great moral miracles that woul ever be known in history, viz: The down- fall and destruction of human slavery and the slavery of the liquor traffic; was glad he was not born where his father was, or this could not be; was born in Ohio, but giad he did not lve there, The speaker expressed himself as desirous of shuking hands with the non-partisans, the churches, republicans, democrats, anybody and everybody, wno proposed to vote for the amendvient. Mr. Huckins and his choir interspersed these addresses with campaign songs. Mrs, L. E. Bailey of Minneapolis, in a short talk said that the women of Nebraska and other states were fighters, and that thoy ‘would stand shoulder to shoulder with the voters of thestate for victory and the right. She was modest in all she said. As she stepped from the, rostrum S. C, Bolles of Washineton county asked the privilege of reading the following resolu- tion, which was referred to the committee ‘on resolution s Resolved, at all prohibition speakers are advised and earpestly requested by this convention to_urge upon prohibitionists at all meetings held during this campaign the importance of supporting vapers that sup- port the prohibitory amendmeut, aud to stop taking or reading papers that are ew- ployed by the liquor trafiic to write lies about prohibitionists and especially w re- fuse to tako or read Tue OMAuA BEE, J. J. Hoofstettler of Sterling, IiL, a’'re- formed drunkard and sensational lecturer, entertained the delegates and vieitors by re- lating stories, and said that victory in this campaign must ve achieved by martyrs of the Owen Lovejoy type. He arraigned Peter ller, said he was li a ‘wounded and that and bis gang ondlers and beer guzzlers would not roost as high after the election in November as they have becen roosting in this state during the past few years. ’ Rev. Jordan, ‘‘The Texas Cyclone,” said that lieense, high or low, wasthe same skeleton, it matters not whether .dressed in rnn- or broadcloth, and that us prohibition~ st this convention was assewmbled to de- Ho illustrated his points by tell- ing witty stories and kept the conveation in thoroag! bumor. At the close of his remarks the convention took a recess until 3 o'clock, Rev. Vibbert of Boston opened the after- 100N Sesslon with pra; request Andy Huckins favored the audience wif 'Th @ Light in the Window for Me," clative encore followed. Then came port of the committee on credentials. Chair- maen Walling read them and they were adopted as follows : The prombitionists of Nebraska enter upon the present prohibitory amendment cam- paign with full faith in the justice and righteousuess of our cause and supremo con flaence that the Almighty arbiter of buttles shall shape victory through the instrumen- tality of an intelligent and virtuous people, Nebraska hps tried high license long enough to demonstrate its utter imprac- ticability either to control the liquor trafiio or lessen the terrible evils that flow from this common center of social, moral an political corruption. The mand for coustitutional prohibition, both state and national, has become the di- vldln, line that separates the people into friends and foes of the greatest wfamy that blackens the pages of modora history. 8. We ask the Christian churches of our state avd pation to come to the help of the people Iu]lhmr iruggle with this blasphe- wmops Goliath, 4. We advocate the dedication of our na- tional birthday to tho sacred cause of prohi- bition, the new emancivation, which shall end & aystom of sl wore wide-spread and in- buman thew the duge of & singie race. 5. We heartily approve of aud the tripple-alhance formed between the g_ronlbluon party, the Women's Coristian ‘emperance union aud the Independent Order of Good Templars of Nebraskas, for a vaited and harmouious umpu‘n for the adoption of the protubitory smendment; and we ice in the coming of fraternal these and delegates organizations Wwho ure striviog for the banishmeot of the saloon from our state. 6. That we extend tho right band of fel- lowship o all organizations favoring the Bow pronounced nounco it passage of the prohibitory amendment, and that we will co-operato with every friend of prohibition, of whatever name, for the ex- termination of the liquor traffic. The Iatter resolution was introduced by Chancellor Creighton after the committeo reported, and it came well nigh creating o furore. 'Muzzics, however, were put on, and when 1t came up for passage was adopted. Chmrman Dickie here presented the aues. tion of finance. In a hiappy speech ho called for subscriptions of money to be used by the state contral committeo in prosecuting a vig. orous campaign. C. C. Crowell ef Blair _ ple this fund, A . Bishop Lincoln, ~ E. M, Tarbell of Jamestown, Levi Snell of Lincoln, J. £. Hovper of Sutton and E. 8. Eyerly of Humboldt subscribed $30 cach. Chass, Otoe, Seward, Burt; Polk, Cuming, Saunders and Dougias connties, by the chai men of their respective central committee- men, also subscribed a like sum. Dickie worked iike an amateur dentist pulling tecth 1o extract this sum—$1,950. It developed, however, that delegates declined to sub- soribo money to this fund owing to indefinita understandiog as to where the money is going and who is to handle it. Begging, therefore, stopped for the time and the re- port of tho committes on plan of work was called for. Chairman Rittenbender read three reports, called minority reports, and they wero taken up seriatim, After a brief discussion the followini plan was adoptod : 1 We recommend a thorough organiza- tion of the state coutral committeo for the purpose of actively forwarding the constitu- tional prohibitory amendment campaign; that this committee shall consist of one member from each county; that an execu- tive committee of nine bo elected by the convention, consisting of chairman, secre- tary, treasurer and two members from each congressional district to be subdivided iaw three branches. 2. State and county organizations are to be held directly responsible to tho state ox- ecutive committee, 8. Non-resident speakers for general work to be managed and held responsible to the state executive committee. 4. The committee on _litorature will *bo expect= to consider Hirst newspaper work in every locality to represent and roport tho county campaign. y 5. ‘Chat national literature be furnished by the executive committe of all organiza- tions in favor of prohibition. 6. State lteraturo and addresses to the zed 00 for of ple. We would recommend as to finance: 1. That the money affmrs of the cam- paign be coducted upon the most careful and business principles, aill funds passing directly through tne hands of the state, county and local treasurers and to be care- fully audited. 2. Individual pledges for money to carry on the campaign should ~ prevail. All pledges shouid be promptiy collected by tho treasurers and that subscriptions be 8o- licited on the moiety plan, one-half 10 go to the county and one-half to the state. 2, All speakers under the anspices of our state central committee should be required 10 report ail collections and all work directly to the_proper officers of the state executive committee. After something of a wrangle Bishop Skinner of Lincoln and his Red Kibbon club sought membership and recognition i the wriple alliance and secured the boon. The selection of the executive committee fol- lowed. Rev. Bentley of David City was elected chairman, A. Roberts of Lincoln secretary and H. E. George of Linepln treasurer, Dickie found very little trouble _after this in raising something like $2,000 more with which to press the battle, Huckins and his choir awakened the echoes with “‘Prohibi- tion's Coming,” and after selecting commit~ teemon from each county to represent the state central committce the convention ad- journed for the evening and the closing ser- Vices. In the evening an immense crowd greeted St. John. Bohanan’s hall was filled to over- fowing, Little Daisy Stoddard of Republi- can City, the twelve-year-old elocutionist who captured the diamond medal at Chicago a year or 80 ago, however, more thau divided the laurels with him, THE SUPREME COURT.

S, Billings, but which have recently been sufpended by hus retirement from the university; that the state of Nebraska, through her experimental station, can serve the people in no otlier way in as high a degree s by resuming these - vestigutions, and for that purpose that suita- ble buildings should be erected on the state farm, at Whatever necessary expense, and that the best possible taieni that this or any other country has to offer should be em- ployed to take charge of the work regardloss of its cost. Resolved, That we express our disappro- bation of the work done by the membars of the late bourd of inquiry concerniag swine diseuse in the Unitea Siates, on account of the fact that the members of said-board did not make any®exact study of swine diseases 1 any of the swine growing states of the west, a8 it is known that they, 88 a com- mission, did not examine o single hog in Obio, Iudiana, llliuois, Iowa. Kansas or Missouri, and only one in Nebrasks, and hence their conclusions could not have been founded upon the evidenceat their com- mand.

AMONG THE RAILROADS, The Union Pacific and Santa Fe Be- lieved to Have Joined Haunds. 1t seems to be geaerally understood by op- position managers hat an ailiance has beon effected between the Union Pacinc and Santa Fe in California whoreby the former with its new line will wain access to Los Angeles and San Diego by building a short road from Milford to connect with tho latter system, ana in return, let Santa Fe trains run over the Union Pacific’s track, which 1t_proposes to construct from Nojava to San_Francisco. Such a plan has been outlined botn in rumor and telegrapic reports. Should Tejunga Pass prove o be the route selected by the Union Pacific to that country, it wall oven up & new and picturesque section, and _traverse Antelope valley, which is destined to support a heavy population, General Manager Phillipi of- the Missouri Pacific is having some much needed im- provements made 1a his office under the the Merchauts National bank. The freight and passenger departments have been com- pelled to get along with two emall rooms and consequently were always crowded so badly tnat it was found dificult for them to transact their business. Another much longer room formerly occupied by Jules Lombard, agent of the Pacific road, has been secured and by taking out the partition separating that from the freight office Mr. Phillippi will have excellent quarters. While these changes are being made he is occupying quarters with his force on the fourth floor, The Omaba & Southwestern railroad com- pany filed amended articles of incorporation in the county clerk's ofice yesterday provid- g for the construction and operation of a branch commenciug at a point on the main line of tho company’s rond near the Tenth street depot of the B. & M. and thence iu & southwesterly direction to the Union stock yards in South Omaha; also & branch com- mencing &t a poiot on the main lino ut or near La Platte, in Sarpy county, thence in a vortherly direction 10 & point_on tue Union Pacific_near Gilmore, 1n Sarpy county, thence to South Omaha to & connection with the branch above described. 1t was expected that bids for contracts to build the Wenth street viaduct would be opened by Chief KEngineer Bogue yester- day, but notbing was done. Anyway Mr, Bogue said he could not give ou. any information rogarding this feature of the work until the contracts had been awarded. While he receives and will open all bids his authority does not extend far enough to per- mit him to pass upon them. They must be wrned over to the Union Depot company for examinatioa and in due course of time that nrun:lzunun will say who shall have the worl Thomas D, Grier, general manager of the Homestake mining company at Deadwood, is 1n the city conferring with officials of the Elkhorn road with a view to_arranging bet- tor traffic accommodations for the transpor- tation of his product. By completing the Black Hills & Fort Pierre line from its present terminus to a counnection with the Elkhorn, about seven miles, Lead City and Deadwood would have rail communication, This will probably be doue. As the cut_rates betweon Missduri river points aud Chicago necessarily force a low- ering of tariff schedules further west, freight representatives of all the roads hero have gone to Chicago for the purposs of making an adjustment. It is also be- lieved thau the reduction westbound will also compel the Towa lines to reduce their eastbound rates. Some time ago the trans-Missourl roads thought they wantea to make arate of 60 cents o hurdred on common soap in car load 1ots from Missouri river to Colorado points, and submitted the matter to Chairman Walker of the “gentlemon's” association, for his opinion, On the grounds that it would establish an unfortunate procedent he has refused the application. Trouble has broken out anew in the inter state commerce association ‘‘gentlemen’s agreement,” aund officials say now that there 18 absolutély no possible show for a reors Ennlzntlon to be effected. Wednesdav the Wisconsin Central gave notice of its with- drawal and several other lines are expected to follow suit within the next few days. The excursion party, composey of Rock Island passenger agents, now sailing through the west ou a special truin, is expected to ar- rive in Omaha Saturday or Sunday. General Passenger Agent Lomax of the Uoion Pacific returned from Chicago .yester- day morning where ho attended & meeting of the transcontinental association.

The citizens who term themselves the “Home Defenders” are haviog a lively squabble. No. 1and No. 2 have already been organized and a third organization with Jos Redman at the head of the procession is in line, The wrangle is over who shall be re- tained as attorney for the defenders. One faction is in favor of one lawyer and the others want another, Each mewmber of the original organiza- tion s assessod u certain - amount, and their attorneys were selected several months ago” Within the last few days a number’ of the defenders ve consulted with the attorneys for the first organization. ‘Tne amount sued for is §25,000, Hut tois only covers rents and profits.

Coroner Harrigan Wants the Ite- mains but Drexel & Maul Refuse to Surrendex, Possession— Nat Brown's Position. Died In Bed. Harry Maxon, one of the bartenders at the Merchants, died suddenly at 2 o'clock yester- day morning at a room in the third story of the block at 1613 Howard street. He closed up the hotel bar at midnight and took a Turk- 1sh bath before gowg to his room. He reached the room about ten minutes beforo 2 o'clock. He got ready for bed, and Miss Cohen, who occupies the adjoining room, says that he complained of a rheumatic feel- ing 1n his breast. In a few minutes he ceased to breathe, and Miss Conen ran down- stairs terrified and informed Mrs. Leenberg of the sudden death. The coroner was notified of the death ves- terday forenoon, but before he could reach the spot the body had been removed to Drexel & Maul's, much to the coroner’s displeasure, a8 he was_unablo to determine the exaot state of affairs at the time of his death. Mrs. Leenberg, the landlady, said to the coroner and reporters that Moxon had paid for two months' room rent and his time was just up yesterday. v Moxon was about forty-five vears old and reported to be unmarried. Miss Cohen was the only lady with whom he kept company. He has a sister at Syracuse, N Y. An il Qquest 18 to be held over the remaius at 3 p. m. today. Fight Over the Corpse. Coroner Harrigan commenced open hos- tilities against the undertaking firm of Drexel & Maul yesterday afternoon, by demanding from them the castody of the body of Harry Maxon, hotel barkeeper, who was found dead in his room this morning. Nat Brown, proprietor of the Merchants, ordered the remains removed to Drexel & Maul's, Coroner Harrigan decided tnat, on account of Maxouw's sudden death, an_inquest would bo necessary, and ho ordéred the remains removed to Heafoy & Heafey's undertaking establishment. Drexel & Maul refused to dehver the body, claiming that it had been entrusted to them for burial by the friends of the deceased, and they pro- posed to keep the body in their possession. ‘Phe coroner could boid his inquest there or at any place he wished. The coroner then went to the police sta~ tion and seoured the services of two coppers 10 aid him in getting possessionof the dead body. He returned, thus reiuforced, to Drexel & Maul's and demanded possession of the dead man. ‘“There is no occasion for this exhibition of your spite work,” said Mr. Drexel i re- sponse to the demand. “The body has been given to this firm to_prepare for burial and we propose to comply with the order. We huve ample accommodations here for a cor- oner’s jury and you can hold vhe 1nquest here or you can held it wherever yon please and can come here and view the remains, but we caunot allow the body o go out of our pos- session.” ' The coroner was fairly wild. ‘0 don’t propose to be bulldozed,” he shouted. ‘'l am corongy of this county and don't propose to allow any one to dictate to me as to what I shall do.” Mr. Nat Brown spolie.up and informed toe coroner that be (Hrown) was paying the ex- pense of the funeral au( proposed to have it conducted by parties of his choice. “I don’u think ®n | inquest necessary,’’ said Mr. Brown, “but that is your business and not mine; but I will fnake it my business to see that the remains of Harry Maxon are not removed from thus place.” “T'he policemen who accompanied the cor- oher ‘saw that théy Lnd nothing to do and withdrew, followed Ly the coroner, **What will you do in the case!” asked a reporter of the coroner.” DIl tako steps to get the body,” was the reply. **Will you go into the courts with 1t1” T will if necessary, replied the coroner, as he stepped into the clevator and asked the boy to let_him outat County Attorney Mahoney's office. A few minutes later the coroner returned trom his visit to the county attorney and said that for “good reasons” he had decided not to insist upon the poscession of the body of Maxon. The trouble was the outcome of a little ill- feeling which was caused by the action of the county commissioners in renting a morgue and coronet’s jury room of Drexel & Maul for $1 a year. Coroner Harrigan was displeased atthe action and bas thus far held all of his inquests at some one of the other undertaker's apartments. —— Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for children teething softens the gums and allays all pain, 25 cents a bottle.

Among their other attributes, the speaker said, ants show no sensibility to sound; bave @ strong scent, exhibit & sense of memory, and have & power of communicating With ono another vy moans of the sense of touch. All theso features were amply illustratod by examples demonstrating their corrcctness.

Tt was also stated that ants remove their dead from their nests and have o regular order of funeral procession. They also keop retsin their nests which are found in no other place. Tho ants are also declared to ba great har- vesters, They storo erain away for winter use 1n a warm moist place and by some un- known method prevent it from sprouting. It was stated that a species of ant in Texas vlant and harvest grain for Sheir own use, clearing comphratively large areas for this purpose and tilling it with consummate skill.

Bee bldg. i iy AMUSEMENTS. Hanlon’s ‘‘New Fantasma’ is undoubtedly the most gorgeous spectacular attraction on any stage. In scenery, mechanical effects, pantomimic illustration and trick machinery he has certainly attained a very high degreo of artisic as well as inventive perfec- tion. The piay itselt is hardly worthy of mention, but it has served as an excellent framework far the scenic painter, stage carpenter and property man to build upon. From the ‘“Hag's Retreat” to “Fantasma’s Realm’ one 1s carried through & succossion of bewilaermg changes, euch picture more startling than its pre- decessor, and some of them beautiful beyond description, The “'‘Ruined Abbey,” “Skeleton Pass,” “Mysteries of the Deep,” ‘*‘Castle ' xterior,” the “Haunted Dormitory,” ‘‘Witch's Labora~ tory,” “Grotto of the Mawc, Fountain,” “Labarinth of the Doomed,” and the *‘Vul- can Volcano” are all wonderful representa- tions of the artist's genius, and they give in- terest to the story that an audienco enjoys immensely. In addition to Farmer Glose's troubles, @s portrayed by Hanlon; Lena's tribulations, Arthur’s difficulties, Faotasma! annoyances, Zamalel's bafled efforts, Pico’s sore trials, Hagwortt's mpish_antics and Serenw's grievances, the performance sparkles with specialty featires, bright tableaux, pleasing songs and eood acting. Kose Forte, as Fantasma; Bugene O'Rourke, who repre- sents his satanic majesty: Louis Pizzarelle, the funny clown; Ida "Manssey, in the role of Lena; J. H. Smiley, as Arthur, and Emily Northrey as Serena are all clever people, and play their parts well. Besides these there is u host of pretty girts for peas- ants, mermaids and fairy land butterfles. Mr. Hanlon'’s new trick,*'off with his head,” is o marvelovs bit of illusion, and the sword combat proved to be quite realistic. Buw there is 80 much iu the show that it cannov all be aiscribed. The house lagh night was pucked with an enthusiastic and demonstra- tive audience. Little Tootsy made a great hit. He is really the best child imitator and dancer ever seen in this city. Witliam Mrs. Kate Crary opened a serious of ilius- trated lectures last night at Young Men's Christian association rall which not only promise amusement and entertainment to those who attend them, but much valyable instruction as well. - Eor first locture was devoted to the British Isles, in which, by means of calcium lights and canvas, she illustrated such photographic views as Queenstown and Cork, a ride on the jaunting car, the Blarney stone, Lakes of Killarney, the first potato pateh, Parnell and home rule, first glimpse of London, Westminster abbey, parliament house, Stratford-on-Avon, and many other historical spots. ‘The audience was not large, but very appreciative. fediieats The Encineers' Ball, The sixth annual bail of division No. 188, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, was given in Washington hall last nicht, The attendance was very large, the hall peing completely filled with the happy, joy- ous drowd.

There is waling and lamentation among the officers and non-commis- sioned officers of the Twenty-fourth Dragoous, now stationed at Dinan, Frauce, says the London Telegraph. They awoke one morning to find that filty of the regimeuntal chargers had been denuded of their tails, 1'he in- vestigation instituted into the affair hasled to the suspicion that several troopers, desirous of raising a little money fortheir amusemen ts, had clipped off the horsehair and sold iv. The col- onel and his subordinates are much ex- ercised in their miods as to the poor show which the corps will make at the vext review, and the fate of the un- lucky chargers thus disfigured has yet to be decided upon. They may be transferred to the ‘‘auxilliary forces,” in which case they will have to be re- placed by horses which will require special iraining, or ibly, if their condition is not regarded as quite des- erate, they may be retained, in the lervent hope that their tails way as- sunse decent proportions ere very long. As for the offenders, it they be discov- ered they will have rendered them- selves llable to many yearsof hard labor. Meanwhile, this new kind of “Rape of the Lock” has created a very unpleasant sensation in the cavalry auarters at Dinan, SOUTH OMAHA DAILY EVENTS | Need of a Firo Limit Strongly Urged by Businesa Moen.

Of course we can’t afford to pay it, and will have to take our chances of com- plete loss by fire.” **‘Would a fire limit ordinance help busi- ness men out in the matter of insurauce?" **Certainly it would. If it is not passed at once it will place business men carrying ex- ponsive stocks of goods in a very dangerous position, for they will have to pay enormous rates for insurance or carry none at all.”” From an_insurance agent doing a lurge business in South Owaba T represen: tative secured interesting information touching the fire limit question. ‘'t sug- westod a fire limit ordinance to the city at- torney somo time ago,” he said, “and it was introdyced, referred, and that is the last I have heard of it. The territory inciuded in the proposed limit is from Twenty seventh on the west to the alley between Twenty- third and Twenty-fourth on the east, and from M to O streets on the north and south. Only within the last two weeks my compan- ies ordered me to cancel three risks in a cer- tain block because they considered them too bazardous at any price since a number of new frame buildings have been erected .n the immediate vicinity.

It is well known that the intensely dry air of mauny ariificially beated dwellings is as detvimental to the lungs as it is to the plants which never thrive therein. But it 1s less generally real- ized that this arid condition absorbs moisture from the human body much more rapidly than from the less porous substances of furniture and hooks, which are often cracked and warped during a period of severe weather, when fierce fires have been incessant. The mucous membrane lining tho nasal and other air pussages, as well as cortain internal parts of the body, olso lines the mouth, throat, ears and evelids, forminga continnous surface thoughout, secreting ounly sufficiont moisture to keep the parts in a healthy condition. There is no surplus action of any phy- sical function when in health. W hat, then, is often the resulting condition of the mucous surfaces exposed to the same absorption of moisture that shrinks and warps our furnivure? There may be a sense of tightness in the chest, a hnck- ing cough, unpleasant dryness of the throat or cyes—all or eithar of these tinally resulting in that dread malady catarrh. « Paris Exposz'tz'on, 1889.
