FLY1HG BOAT. River Graft Which Skim* Along the Thames. Visitors to the Corney Reach of the Thames at Cheswick recently, were startled by the slant of a white and gray whale-backed craft, some 22 'eet -long, and not unlike an ordinary motor boat in appearance, progress? ing at the rate of 30 miles an hour, with scarcely a ripple of wash to show her track. This vessel marks a great step In the practical developement of the hy? droplane, the principle of which is to attain great speed by skimming along the very surface of the water. She is the embodiment of successful experi? ments with models conducted by Sir John Thornycroft in the course of last year, and is fitted amidships with petrol engines of some fifty horse? power. The vessel has a flat bottom, and under the forward keel there is a horizontal plane to keep her steady. "The most fascinating of sensa? tions," was the verdict of a passen? ger as he returned from a trial spin. "At a slow speed she feels just like sn ordinary roomy motor launch. A touch on the lever turns her into a thing of exhilarating speed. There is a stammering roar from her engines working at fifteen hundred revolu? tions a minute and at once she flings her head high out of the water until she touches the surface only with her forward balancing palnes and the middle of her flat stern. Tou feel as if you were sitting in the stern of a giant Canadian eanoe. "As you look bsck you see a white line of ruffled water In her wake but so slight is her wash that when we skimmed psst some scullers at SO miles sn hour they did not even rock." "This is a practical working craft/ said Mr. Thornycroft, who was driv? ing the boat yesterday, "not freak hydroplane. I am Inclined to believe that this design msy be found of val? ue for such craft as torpedo boat de? stroyers."?London Mall. ALCOHOL FROM SAWDUST Chkagoans Say They Can Make It at 7 Cents a Gallon.

New? of a Discovery Under Discus? sion by Physicians in Greenwood-? An Alkaline Treatment. Greenwood, Sept. 9.?Local physi? cians are much interested in a new I treatment of typhoid fever which may be one of greatest importance. A paper on the subject was read be? fore the county medical society Mon- i day by the discoverer of the treat? ment, Dr. vT. L. Lander and the mat? ter was freely discussed. The usual procedure in such matters is, ofi course, to have all publication first made in the regular journals of the profession and then they can be pub? lished by the lay papers. This treat? ment is being freely discussed, how? ever, and it will not be amiss to tell something about it as the paper read by Dr. Lander will not be published for a month yet in the State Medical Journal. Dr. Lander was for a num? ber of years a professor in his fath? er's college, Williamston Female col? lege, now Lander college. Three years ago he entered the Charleston Medical College in Charleston and has one more year before his gradu? ation. He is a man of mature judg? ment and has always taken great in? terest in the work of the county medical society and it was at the re? quest of the society that he prepared the paper on typhoid above referred to. An Alkaline Treatment. Dr. Lander does a considerable amount of work in the chemical lab? oratory at Lander college, making tests of blood, etc., and is frequently called on to make tests for physi? cians. In this work he had to have fresh cultures, as in the case of typh? oid bacteria they do not work so well if over two days old. Some time ago he was making up a new medium in which to place a new growth of typhoid bacteria and while engaged In the work was Interrupted. He states that In such cases one Is not always accurate because of the in? terruption and such was the case with him then. There is a regular for? mula for this medium in which to grow the germs. It Is really a sort of weak beef broth, but has to be made according to a formula. He discov? ered after a little while that the cultures in the test now with the supposedly correct medium were not doing so well, not growing as they should. The idea then ocurred to him that if a similar condition should be brought or could be brought about in the human system, great progress would be made in the fight against typhoid fever. He began to inves? tigate to find out what was the mat? ter with his medium Checks Growth of Germs. The result of his investigations were that the typhoid germs will not grow In a medium more alkaline than the prescribed one. Too much ncid does not seem to affect the growth, but an alkaline preponder? ance does affect the growth, it re? tards it. This then in brief is the basis of the discovery as it can be told by a layman to laymen. The idea is to develop an alkaline con? dition in the system of a typhoid fe? ver patient so that nature can be aided or backed up in her fight to choke down the typhoid fever germ. \s is well known as soon as a pa? tient deveh pa typhoid fever or any other germ disease nature at once gets busy an.l rl^rt \ the manufacture Of a poison In the system to fight this particular rorm. If nature can get breeche- hold the germ is ddomed, if not the patient dies. This new treat? ment Is simply an effort to find something that will help nature with Its weapons of defense. Of course, such treatment must be in the hands of a physician and must be adminis? tered as the individual case indicates. Some man has written to Dr. Lander telling him he has five cases of typhoid fever and wants to get the "treatment." To him as all others Dr. Lander writes that he must con? sult his physician and if the physi? cian cares to write to him he will be glad to tell him the results of the tests made here. As said above, the matter is being freely discussed by the physicians here and apparently satisfactory results have been had in such tests as have been made. In other towns around, too, the physi? cians are testing the "discovery" and reports will be made in full later. At last one region has been dlscov? ered where there ere no bill collec? tors calamity howlers or end-seal hogs, Charlotte News. After all, Dr. Ross' discovery end successful treatment of the boo,, worm In Anson county, means much more to this nock o' the w ?ods than his class mate's discovery of the .North polo.

Sept. 9.?Dangling at the of a buggy line in the shallow wa? ter of the Savannah river, and with a bullet hole in his head, the body of Howard Pearman, banker and school commissioner, of Hartwell, Ga., was found near Craft's Ferry in lower An? derson county, today. A note on the bank near by stated that Pearman's books were in a muddle and that he had been unable to raise the neces? sary money to straighten them out. Pearman crossed over from the Georgia side of the river yesterday and tied his horse to a tree near the road, where the animal remained so long that a search was instituted. A note was found In the buggy, saying: "Come on down the river; you will find me waiting.' With the note explaining the suicide were found the dead man's watch and other articles he carried in his pockets, which had been piled on the river bank before the deed was committed. Pearman was a leading citizen of Hartwell and held in high esteem. Vi was 45 years old and leaves his wife and two children. TO DISMISS LIUET. NETTLES.

Washington, Sept. 9.?The presi? dent has approved the sentence of dismissal imposed by a general court martial appointed by him at Denver, Col., in the case of First Leut. Clar-( ence S. Nettles, U. S. A., retired. According to the war department's announcement, Lieut. Nettles was convicted of neglecting to pay many private debts, making false statement to the department commander in re? gard thereto, and giving a worthless check. Llept. Nettles first entered the ser? vice as an enlisted man in the 2nd South Carolina volunteer infantry during the Spanish war. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THE CHURCHES? Cardinal Gibbons Says the People Demand the Spiritual Gift in Preachers. In response to the question: "What is the Mater with the Churches?" asked by Theodor*? Dreiser, E( The Delineator, Cardinal Gibbons says: ' It must be borne in mind tnat tne American people are at heart a re? ligious people. In few countries are religion and religious men treated with more consideration. Almost ev? ery public function is opened by an invocation and closed with a benedic? tion. Yet our people are falling off in their attendance at church. There is no gainsaying this statement. "What, then, is the cause? Many of our countrymen do not consider church-going as a binding obligation in any sense. Frequently it is assert I ed that we can worship God in our onw hearts and home; we can inter? pret the Bible for ourselves; and al? though. In reality, they very seldom do one or the other, the pretense is sufficient to drug their consciences. We must not lay the whole blame on the laity. Almost any excuse would ?eem to justify a man in absenting himself from church services when the subject of religion, that is to say, duty to God and duty to our neigh? bor for God's sake, is seldom incul? cated. Finally, another cause can he traced to the fact that many societies for the advancement of education, for the development of athletic sports or for mere social purposes, have added a Sunday service such as many peo? ple were accustomed to assist at for? merly In the churches. "What, then, is the remedy? It will he found by giving to the people in the churches something of God, some spiritual gift, some good which it would he impossible for them to get elsewhere. Let the minister of God speak as one having authority, and our religiously Inclined people will throng the temples of Divine worship. 1 may add that we have no reason to complain of our Catholic people. In the cities, the ohurch? t! are crowded at each of the live or six masses offered on Sunday. In the ru? ral districts, In good weather and In bad, Catholics seldom And any di culty so great, any condition so Intol? erable, as to hav? to dispense with their obligatory attendance at the Divlm services on Sunday."

Humor* of Moot Important Railroad1 Deal In Year* Well Substantiated. (From the Southern Lumberman.) At Nashville during the current week rumors have been rife that a deal has been made by which the Burlington system of the Hill lines will build these gaps. As this in? volves the absorption by purchase or lease of the whole extent of the Ten? nessee Central, running through Nashville from Hopkinsville on the west, to the top of the Cumberland Plateau on the east, and the bringing in of one of the two big railroad sys? tems of the West. ?iese rumor* have naturally created a great dea'. of ex? crement, not only throughout the State, but over the South generally. If there is anythll.g in the immediate proposal no more important develop? ment for the S'.'Uth has come in 25 years. The rumors appear to have back of mem a substantial foundation. Col S. M. Felton, chairman of the. board of the Tennessee Central and presi? dent of the Chicago Qreat Western, in a special telegram to Nashville par? ties, confirms the story, and 3ays that the surveyors now In the field be? tween Hopkinsville and Paducah are making a preliminary location of that part of the new construction. It is almost too good to be true, but there are various confirmatory facts. The ultimate intention of the Hill system to come into the southeastern terri? tory has been often mentioned, and some recent utterances of Mr. Hill himself lend strength to the belief that such a plan exists. The story is that the Tennessee Central will be extended from Hop? kinsville to Paducah, a distance of 70 miles, where It will connect with the new line which the Chicago, Burling? ton and Qulncy is now constructing from Herrin, 111., to Metropolls, II!., Just across the river from Paducah. This Ifne Is 40 miles long and 19 near ing completion. With a bridge at Paducah. and the Tennessee Central extended to that point, the connec? tion would be a continuous one from all the territory of the Northwest to Harriman on the Cumberland Pla? teau, where the Tennessee Central at present connects with the Southern Railway. It is said, however, that the plan does not take into account this connection with the Southern. tfl !.f t!)* o<J<5or> P.^fpl Will be built on to KnoxviUe, a distance, of is miles, from when< connection will be established wit) trie- Seaboard .\ir Line at Rutherfordton, N". c. by the construction of the KlSSKViUe, vierville and Eastern, a distance of 30 miles. It will be seen, therefore, that only three short pieces of new construc? tion !s required, from Hopkinsville to Paducah, 70 miles; from Harriman to KnoxviUe, 4 5 miles, and from Knox? viUe to the connection with the Sea? board 30 miles; in all a new con? struction of one hundred and forty five miles. This excludes the new line from Herrin, Ind.. to Metropolis, 111., of which construction is already well along. Whether the present rumors have anything in them or not, there is hardly a doubt but that the gaps of new road will be built by somebody. The prospect opened by the establish? ment of such a connection between either of the great Western railroad systems and the lines penetrating the Southeast will not be neglected long*. There are grounds for regarding the Hill interests as the most logical establishers of such a connection. Most persons are familiar with the long fight, that has gone on between Hill and Harriman for control of transcontinental traffic, and the west? bound trade with the Orient. The contest hfis continued for ten years, ever since Harriman entered the rail? road field. First one and then the other has gained an adavntage. Hill's efforts have been directed to securing such connection with Eastern and Southern roads, and particularly with Southern roads in the mutter of west? bound shipments of cotton for export to China and Japan, as would put his Northern lines on an equal footing with the Southern Pacific of the Har r man system. He bad the edev on his rival until Harriman wresti from Hill's allies the control of ifc Illinois Central. This system had worked hand In hand with Hill on cotton shipments and other west? bound freight for years. When the Illinois Central went Into Harrlman'? control, aft. r :i Bght hardly second In importance to that started when Har? riman tried t'> wrest Hill's orlg lines front his control, th< HIH -:?> tem had to look out for new conec tions. \n immediate step taken was the rehabilitation and extension of the lines of the Chicago, Burlington und Qulncy, which had been purchas gome tea before. it does aol look unreasonable, then fore, that the n< \t important stop in the fight w ould be for iii<' Burlington to come Into the southeastern field by some such move .!-? tli.it now discussed. it is not eas) to predicate much o certainty <>n the far-reaching plant of such men as Hill and Harriman. I but If a connection with the South ?1 east Id the way now suggested" be established by any of the tig terns Its Importance and advantage the region traversed cannot be or estimated. The amount of new of struction contemplated is too ?mal to cut much figure of itself, but tn* coming in of a big system and the re? habilitation of heretofore unimpor? tant lines will constitute one of the biggest railroad developments of | cent years.
