MONKEY into whose veins the scientists of Johns Hopkins A had injected the germs of a hitherto unknown disease in order that they might the more effectively atudy its growth and nature, escaped from the hospital, but was returned next day by @ man who had bought him from a stranger in a saloon. The monkey himself had been induced to drink, and report has it the physicians are afraid the whiskey may have destroyed all the disease germs and left his system too healthful to be of any scientific value. This story is pertinent to the report from Paris that Prof. Metchnikoff, the great expert of the Pasteur Institute, has become #0 cautious of germs that he never drinks unfiltered wator, never ea uncooked fruit and always passes his knives, forks and spoons through @ Bunsen burner before using them. The learned scientist and his fellows have set the world on edge with these terrors, but if it be found that the much inoculated monkey has cleared his blood of the injected diseanes by a single night of jag, fear will abate. The remedy is 6o much simpler than prevention. $= —_—_ Marry Kemp's statement to the Southampton authorities that he . went as a stowaway to that port because, while he had “plenty of friends in New York, he couldn't raise $10 to pay passage on a cattle boat,” tends to the conclusion that friends are of no more value to a poet than a poet is to bis friends. ——_-4¢2-_______. THE GERMAN GATHERING AT ST. LOUIS. ITH the gathering of the German-American Alliance at St. Louis impressive demonstration is made of the widespread strength and influence of that element of our complex pop- ulation. It is, in fact, so thoroughly interfused with the older ele- ments it can be no longer looked upon as foreign, being as entirely ‘American as are the descendants of British colonists, Thus Con- greseman Bartholdt said in his epening address to the delegates: “We resent the iden that there is any connection between the German- American and the German Government; we are too good Americans for that.” A feature of notable importance in the influence exerthd by the German immigration upon our national life is expressed in the saying of Frederick W. Lehmann, of St. Louis, that the Germans bring with them “no feuds, no factions from the Fatherland.” It may be added, too, that they have developed none since they arrived here. So many other om oe brought animosities to add to those already existing among us that this is a matter of more than ordi for both Germans and Americans. =e eH In his efforts to keep his campaign orators on the stralgh E it track Mr. McCall may have to call on Murphy to lend him thi was 80 persuasive in his own case. ud —-+4-—_____ WHERE CHARITY MAY HAVE A SHOW. HAT seats for the World’s Series of baseball games have been sold for as much as $20 is accounted a mystery. Last year a like condition of things was called a scandal. It may be the change of term is designed to give variety to a subject that shows signs of becoming monotonous. It may be we have grown more polite, In either case @ more resolute and more penetrating inquiry than that of last year would probably disclose facts of general interest. Like all well ordered mystery stories the developments of the case show more and more conflict as the yarn unwinds, It was first eaid no tickets could be bought at epeculative Prices, but it was soon shown they could be, It was then intimated that crooked Politicians had something to do with the plot; but a prompt repudiation came in the assertion that politicians, like the People, are on the outside. Announcement that the President of the New York Baseball Club had said he would give $2,500 to any charity if proof be brought that his club had anything to do with sales to Speculators was met by a statement of the President of the Boston National League Club that if the New York Club suppressed the names of the buyers of the tickets, charity should get the money. be it may be, scandal it may be, but it looks as if chi ow. arity eH After all the boasting about the money washin, mac ‘Washington it turns out the thing won't work and the Paint to face dirty money Just at the time when elect! ng and there is so little use for ‘t. scliogs ate, spproseh: The Evening World Daily M agazine, Wednesday, October 8.

I have no doubt tt ts all true as you say; that he was a fine mortar mixer and should have done well, except for the fact that he was so hot tempered a Jad that he might have gotten in trouble by fighting with the Spaniards during Hits From Sharp Wits.

All of a sudden 1 Meard loud report, Turning, I saw the & rator in flames, 1 immediately ran to the engine, shut off the steam and shut the plant, After examina: tion, the chief's report was that the armature had burned out, The firm decided to ha the armature re moved to the factory for repairs at A cost of between two and three hundred dollars, besides being de- prived of the use of the plant for about two weeks, Now, from the knowledge I had acquired, f did not delteve the armature was “burned out.” So that night I went into the @enerating room and got two bell datteries and @ bell, After connect~ ing them I tested rmature and commutator, disco ig that re- pairs could be mac; without mov- ing the armature. This was done. A new commutator was put on and the plant was running that night.

NOVICE'S LARGE SALES EARNED PROMOTION. three years ago, after en apprenticeship tn London «nd several years’ experience in Eng. lish provincial towns, I applied to a dry goods firm in Boston for a position as salesman In any do- partment. Mr. Barry, the superin- tendent engaged me for the silk department at $10 per week, assur- ing me it was a higher salary than was genorally given as a com- mencement. I determined to be uniformly courteous to customers and always to find something to do, believing that a good day's work would always bring adequate re- turns. My sales quickly equalled those of men who were getting @ higher salary. At tie end of six months 1 sought Mr. Barry tn his office and asked for a $2-weekly advance. He professed to be much surprised at my audacity, assuring me that my pay was excellent, though I might hope for an ad- vance at the end of the year 1 persisted, however, explaining that my sales warranted the “auda- cious” demand, Ho dismissed me with the vague promise of looking into the matter. 1 told the buyer of the interview and the result. He too commented on my “nerve.” intimating that a year should elapre before such a proposition was made. We were paid twice a month. My next envelope con- tained the coveted addition.
