LYMPH FOR AMERICA.
A Supply of Dr. Koch's Fluid
Brought Here.
Returned Physicians Describe the
j Scientist's System,
The steamship Majestic has arrived at
New York, from Liverpool, having oa
board a number of American physicians
who have been to Berlin to consult Professor
Koch about his famous lymph. Dr. H. P.
Loomis, of New York, was one of the physi
cians who succeeded in geitmg a quantity i
of the fluid. When seen on the steamship,
he was very enthusiastic about the eminent
German professor and his great system.
Speaking of his trip, he said:
"I found Dr. Koch the most exclusive man
I ever met. The great success which his operations
have attained has placed him in great
DR^ ROBERT KOCH.
demand. and the most of his business is don*
through Dr. A. Libbertz. who is his friend
. and trusted aid. Dr. Libbertz has entire
charge of the distribution of the lymph. Just
before I started for home the doctor told ma
that he had 6000 applications for the fluid. I
do not care to say just how much of the stuff
I have with me. but I will say I have enough
for 5000 injections. While in Berlin I met
Warren Coleman, who is deputed by the
iTnited States Government as an assistant of
Minister Phelps, to get a quantity of the
lymph. When I left Mr. Coleman had not
succeeded in getting the stuff, notwithstanding
the fact that he wanted it for SurgeonGeneral
Hamilton. As far as the value of I
Hi? lrmnh ic rnnnnrned. I think it is the best I
ever discovered. It is easy to explain away
the several deaths that hare occurred follow
ing an injection of the fluid. Those who har#
died .were dying fast when the injection was
made. The injection did not kill them, nor
did did it hasten their death. Their cases
were beyond hope.
"To give an idea of the exclusiveness of
Dr. Koch and the quiet way in which he op
erates his business it is only necessary to say
that I was fivo days in Berlin before I discovered
who had control of the distribution
of the lymph. It is very singular that so
many dOQtcrs on this side claim to have re
ceived the lymph. I cannot understand it.
Before I left Berlin Dr. Libbertz told me that
two bottles only were sent to America. One
of these went to Secretary Blaine and the
other to Dr. Jacobi. As to the value of the
fluid I am not ready to speak. It is wonderful,
in my opinion, ana no value can be
properly placed upon it"
Dr. J. C. McCoy is another New York
physician who went to Berlin and came
back on the Majestic. Dr. McCoy exhibited
a vial of the lymph, which he said he obtained
personally from Dr. Koch. The bottle
is three inches long, very narrow, and
has a cork an inch and a half deep. The
lymph in the vial is the color of liquor and
nils about one-half an inch of the bottle. Dr.
McCoy said that the exhibit was a diluted
solution of the lymph, one part being composed
of the strong preparation and the
- other ten parts of water.
"In its present condition," said Dr. McCoy,
"it is as deadly in its poisonous effects
as the bite of a rattlesnake. The quantity of
my vial is one drachm. As' now diluted, one
to ten, it will be diluted again ono to 100. The
latter dilution is what is used for injections
and is technically named ono milligramme.
Its condition then is one one-thousandth part
of fifteen grains. A few days before I left
. Berlin a number of applications of the
lymph were made in the case of hip
and joint diseases and other diseases
of the bones. Tho effect of this lymph
is marvelous. About the same time
they made an injection into a msn who was
troubled with leprosy. The apparent result
when I left was very good. l)r. Koch has
given up all work in the preparation of the
lymph and Is devoting all his time to getting
up a preparation similar to the lymph for the
the Milk River region, and the police have
HB been busily engaged in driving them away
from the Canadian quarantine districts. It
appears that the Montana ranch* are short
of fodder.

professor by this charge puts himself on record
as saying that his lymph is perfect.
American doctors have experienced great
difficulty in getting the fluid, but no more
than physicians of other countries.
The principal reason for this is that,
now tnat Dr. Koch has given up operations,
those who have superseded him do not care
: to give the lymph out to private practict
inters, they being determined to make all
-those who want treatment to go to Berlin.
f Professor Koch is not in the scheme. Koch's
pictures in Berlin have taken the place of
those of the Emperor. The Professor now
dines and lives with the Emperor, and the
letter won't let anybody see his guest."
Speaking of the return of the American
doctors from their trip to Berlin the New
York Tribune summarizes the result of their
observations as follows: "As to the composition
of the precious and potent fluid they
have nothing to tell; its ingredients beio?
known only to its discoverer, or inventor,and
two of his assistants. These New York doctors
are confident of its efficacv in cases of
lupus, bone tuberculosis, etc.: but as to its
cnects on pulmonary disease they seem to entertain
some doubt. The general confidence
in the Koch remedy in Berlin is not declining
th(it ronnrt hut rather increasimr. As
the supply of lymph in this country has
been enlarged by the return of these physicians,
the experiments hero wiil at once be
increased in number and the opportunities
lor observation accordingly multiplied."
The Lymph in New York Hospitals.
The doctors in several of the Now York
City hospital^ are continuing their experiments
with the lymph received from Dr.
Koch some weeks ago. Favorable results are
generally recorded, but it will take some time
to ascertain the precise value of the discovery.
Many consumptive patients have been
icnocuiated with the mysterious fluid.

Four Indian Murderers Executed at
Missoula, Montana.
The most notable execution which ever n
tool: place In that section of the country
occurred a few days ago, when Lalaze,
Pierre Paxil, Antly and Pascale, four Indian ?
murderers, were hanged at the Courthouse
in Missoula, Montana. All died cour- Si
ageously. Pierre Paul and Antly smilingly 31
bade good-bye to their friends when the cap L

killed a prospector, J. M. Dunn, in F
the spring of 1889, near Dernersville. W
Antly's crim9 was the participation in the C
murder of three white prospectors, McDon- 0
aid, Seely and Thompson, in the fall of 1887, B
at Wolf Creek, n?ar Tobacco Plains. The
prospectors were surprised at the camp fire
by a party of six Kootenia Indians and E
were murdered in cold blood. Two of S
the Indians were captured soon after
and lynched by the people of Derners- H
villo Anf-ltr vAmninerl nt lartrAuntil the closa S
of the summer. Lalaze and Pierre Paul I B
killed two white men, names not known, in
August, 1887, and threw the bodies into g

voked, as Lalaze said, ,lFun to kill white r
men." The capture and hanging of the u
quartette cost the country about $30,000.

RAILWAY CASUALTIES.
Three Tragic Accidents in a
Single Day.
A Train Plunges From a Trestle
in Canada.
The expres3 train from Halifax, Nova
Scotia, on the Intercolonial Railway due at
Levis, Canada, at 11:40 A. m. met with a
frightful accident about three miles from its
destination. The scene of the wreck is an
embankment at St. Josephs. The train was
made up of a baggage and mail car, one second-class
car, one first-class car and onf
sleeper. It was running at a high rate 09
speed. After passing St Josephs station
the second-class car jumped the track on a
curve, dragged the first-class and sleeper
with it, ana derailed the mail car and -bagI
nP Jf
j gftgo UU1 OHUUU Ui aw*
The three passenger cars ran diagonally
along the embankment for 200 yards, tho
Becoad-class car striking tho western abutment
of the bridge, which carries the track
over the public highway at this point. It
was in this car that the sacrifice or life occurred,
the front of the car being smashed to
atoms against tho solid stone abutment.
Tho three cars turned over, the first-class
car being badly shattered. The sleeper was
not so badly smashed as the other cars. The
engine, still drawing the baggage and mail
cars, passed over the bridge, the timbers of
which were badly broken by the two derailed
cars. The mail car went down the embankment,
turning completely over in Its descent.
The engine and the derailed baggage car
passed over a second road bridge safely, and
were brought to a standstill a few hundred
yards further on.
According to the latest information, the
number of dead was estimated at five, with
many wounded. The killed are: Joseph P.
Blais, Kamouraska, jnerchantc Joseph Leclaire,
Mr. Levis, Brakeman Beaulieu and
an unknown person. Among the wounded
are: Mrae. George Gagnon St. Charles; Mme.

A frightful accident occurred to the real
car of the south-bound mall train on tha
Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad about 3
o'clock on a recent afternoon, by which
of the fourteen occupants of the cat
only two escaped aeath or serioui
injury. The rat's spread, so it appears, jjust

who came to the rescue, would htm
been completely destroyed. The list of thi
dead is as follows: Miss Ada Hall, Sherrodsville,
O., died in the hotel shortly after being
moved from the wreck: Henry Hill, Tower

Miss Carrie Hill, Tower Hill, Shelby.County,
111., found dead in the wreck; Mrs. Hall,
Zanesville, taken from the wreck dead.
Six persons were badly injured.
The facilities in the little village for the
proper care of the dead and dying were
wholly inadequate, the relief party finding
one woman dying in a cold and cheerless
room and three of those seriously Injured
huddled into a small office on improvised
bunks, while one man rested on a blanket on
the bare floor.
"Wrecked by a Snowdrift.
A wreck occurred on the Valley Branch of

miles north of Harrisburg, Va. The southbound
train, drawn By three engines,
ran into a snowdrift and was thrown
from the track. Two engines were thrown
from the track and demolished, while the
thiid was thrown across the track. Six

Telling Minister Phelp?That Invalids i.
Here Should Stay at Home.
A Berlin dispatch says that Prefeeari j
Koch, on a visit to Mr. William Walter
Phelps, the American Minister at the Legation,
passed through the ante-rooal, which
was full of eager American doctors who
were waiting to see the Minister in the hope
of procuring his good offices in securing for
them interviews with the world-renowned
bacteriologist. A long conversation took
place between the Professor and Mr. Phelps,
who is worried by doctors and invalids from
America, who are determined to get from
headquarters information regarding the new
remedy.
In the course of the conversation Professor
Koch said that his decision to give the lymph
henceforth only to hospitals was duo to reports
of fatal results that had followed its
use in private practice. He carefully added,
^owaror f.Knf.liou'ftsnnf.nopsnnollvnAflmiiTflnf.
of any death resulting from its effects, but '
said he was convinced that the lymph wo3 j
too dangerous, except when used under a
constant Tvatch by physicians. A patlont,
he added, ought to be seen at least every two
honrs. Such care could be found only ill e
hospitals. t
Professor Koch still personally attends to 8
the production of the lymph, but he wants t
to discontinue this labor in favor of the Gov- t
ernment. He thinks that ultimately its 9
manufacture should be confined to the Gov- .s
ernment. To make the lymph, he says, ra- ?
quires both science and conscience. He de- ?
elares that it is useless for American doctors ?
to come to Berlin The lymph will be as- '
signed to American hospitals that are prop- *
erly vouched for. Americans wlio are ill *
should stay at home. Berlin is already too !
full of patients. Dr. Koch begged Mr. i '
Phelps to send nobody to him, as ne is too f
I busy to see any one personally. He con- 1
tinues to be greatly pleased with the results
of his discovery when properly applied. He
declares that he does not want to make
money. He wants the Government to matiu- j
facturo the lymph, and thus release him, so '
that he may continue to study. ;

lymph to one of the leading medical iasti- !

Inspector's Were Punished. ]
Chinese advices report the execution of the t

he cruel murder of fourteen salt inspectors '
and the burning of the bodies of the wounded
and dead.
Last March these salt inspectors made a raid
j on a village. They wore no uniform and the J
| villagers mistook them for pirates. The
inspectors seized a pile of contraband i
salt, which thev found by the side (
of a house, and while removing it
to their boats they were attacked by vil- ?
lasers and overpowered. Nearly all were ,
only stunned by blows, but a visit to their
boat showed the villagers that they had attacked
Government officers, and fearful of I
thft sHvere nunishmentthev decided to burn ,
the boat and with it the bodies of the 1
wounded inspectors to remove all traces of
crime. So they carried the injured men tc a
the boat, and despite their entreaties set fire i
to It and burned the whole. r
The chief criminal was sentenced to decapi- r
tation, but committed suicide before the day f
arrived, and according to law his body was t

as a warning to the public. Four others a

of New York was in the habit or writing to
the Philadelphia Ledger, on the subject of

pathos, and evinced such deep emotion of
soul, that a friend of hers accused her of
being a maniac on tne subject of temperance,
whereupon she wrote the following
lines:

Go b3ar what I have borne?

And the cold world's proud scorn:
Then suffer on from year to year?
The sole relief the scorching tear.
Go kneel as I have knelt,
Implore, beseech and pray?
Strive the besotted heart to melt,
The downward course to stay;
Be dashed with bitter curse aside,
Your prayers burlesqued, your tears defied.
Go weep as I have wept
O'er a loved father's fall?
Bee every promised blessing swept?
Youth's sweetness turned to gal!.
Life's fading flowers strewed au the way?
That brought me up to wqman's day.
Go see what I have seen,
Behold the strong man bow,
With smashing teetb. lies bathed in blood,
And coldan3 livid brow;
Go catch his withering glance, and see
Ttere mirrored, his eouTs misery.
Go to thy mother's side,
And her crushed bosom cheer.
Thine own deep anguish hide;
Wipe from her cheek the bitter tear.
Mark her worn face and withered brow,
The gray that streaks her dark hair now,
With falling frame and trembling limb,
Ana trace the ruin back to him
Whose plighted faith, in early youth,
Promis'd eternal love and truth.
But who, forsworn, hath yielded up
That promise to the cursed cup,
And let her down, through love and light,
And all that made htr prospects bright;
And cbain'd her there 'mid want and strife,

And stamp'd on childhood's brow so mild,

ha hundred thousand, and you have some
dea of what scenes are being witnessed in

HOW TO PROMOTE TEMPERANCE.
Edward Everett Hale says in the Cosmcpolitan
Magazine: I once asked the chief of
a great temperance home how one could
work to destroy th9 craving for liquor. He
looked at me with some surprise that a man
in my profession should ask such a question,
and said at once: "No man ever becomes
temperate himself unless he tries to make
some one else temperate." Iu a fashion I
had know this, as every preacher of Christianity
must know it; it is a doctrine laid
down in the gospels in a hundred forms, but
I had never used it as a working formula nor
lad I recommended it to other paopb as I
have done sinca. Let me say this to any person
trying to reform a relative or a friend.
You must introduce this desira to help forward
somebody else or your work will not

but do you take care th?.t h? ? do'Ce sm9tbin^f
ia the general cause of purity?that he
is thinking or some one besides himself. "We
j2o not attain purity by thinking of impurity.
We do not attnin to temperance by
thinking of intemparance. Give him a high
motive and you have so far lifted him from
the plane on which he slipped and fell. An
old and wise friend, who is still living under
th9 not cold shadow of four score and ten,
Inculcating practical morals, said to me
once: "You are interestel in temperance; I
will tell you how to save men from drunkenness."
And when I eagerly asked the secret,
he replied by saying: "Make them plant
trees, make them plant tress? So soon as
they are interested in the growth of anything
else they will be led outside themselves,
and thsy will not have time to be
drunk!" I should be afraid to trust to this
instruction if I had a man returned to me
from the House of Correction after his tenth
confinement for the tenth spree which had
commanded the attention of the police, but
it involves an element which ought to be
more considered than it seezis to be general*
ly. You want to change the manner of life
of your patient as largely as you can,
especially you want to take him into the odbu
air if you can. The army in the Civil War

I think most officers will agree with me in
this. For officers it was often, alas! a school
of drunkenness, becauso they could order for
their own use liquoi-s which their men could
aot use. Butunderthe absolute prohibition
which existed when an army was far from
any "civilized post," and in the freedom and
freshness of the op?n air life, many a man
learned practically a lesson which, before, he
aad no opportunity to try. If I were the
dictator of this Nation there should ba beef
tea, or some stimulant of equal value and
innocence, at the door of every factory
ivhere hard work is done, that man or woman
