The cry for more courts in New York

Says the TT1Iekee Republican: 'The
cattlemen, if they don't look out, are
liable to find pretty hard picking in these
mountains this year, for the sheep men
are leasing all the big ranges and gobbling
all they can get hold of in the shape of
land. It is said that there is big money
in sheep now, and the sheep men are in
creasing their flocks rapidly. We are
sorry to see so many sheep in the noun
tains, for they spoil the roads and destroy
young trees and raise cain generally"

for electrical current, because Of its great
conductivity. but it is only one-fourth as
strong as iron wire, and hence needs more
frequent supports than iron. For electri-
cal conduct, then, it might be worth
twelve cents pound.
Now, says he, all this is as to pure
aluminium; but it is claimed that
its alloys make it of high value.
He declares that no alloy of the
metal is superior, or so good as
those of copper, and hence it is worth in
alloy less than Is cents, the price of cop
per.Aluminum-bronze shows the metal at
its best, for it is elastic and keeps fairly
bright, but it is extremely hard to work.
This bronze is 80 per cent. copper and 10
per cent. aluminium. Its chief value, he
sums up, is in its magnetic power in
drawing coin from the pocket for hun
dred schemes to extract and make it.
Its true worth is that of zinc, cents a
pound, and there he claims its actual
value begins and ends.
This is a formidable indictment, and it
behooves the new journal, The Il AlHne-
iaum Age, to rise to the defense of its
favorite metal. The last issue Of that
journal before us declares that the metal
will not tarnish as does silver; that alum
inum-steel armor plates have been
adopted in ships, a small percentage of
aluminium alloy composite greatly in
creasing the strength of steel plates; that
cast-iron containing not more than one
eighth or one-tenth of per cent. of alum
inum and copper will produce malleable
castings direct from the blast furnace
and so on, through long chapter of
claims. We are much inclined to think
that the chief uses of aluminium will be
found in its small percentage combina-
tions with other metals. That it is of ex-
ceeding usefulness in steel manufactures
there can be no doubt whatever.

PROFESSOR ELLIoTT's report on the
published. It would fill some six COL
umns in the RECoRD-UNIoN. It is a
complete history Of the catch of seals for
nearly a century and a review of all
causes affecting the dininution of the
catch. The conclusion reached is that if
this season as many as 10000 skins are
taken from among killable seals, males
from one to five years old, there will be
an end of the fisheries, and the Behring
Sea question will be effectually and final
ly settled. He concludes his report with
these recommendations:
First-That no driving and killing of fur
seals for tax and shipment on the seal islands
of Alaska be permitted by the Government
for period OF at least seven years from date;
and
Second-That the cooperation of Great
Britain and Russia be secured in perfecting
our international close time by which all kill
ing of fur seals in the open waters of Behring
Sea will be prohibited during the breeding
| season of these animals, and in order that the
representatives of Great Britain and Russia
may see the truth of my statement as to what
threatens to exterminate these animals if pc
lagic sealing, as well as terrestrial sealing is
not at once stopped, that a commission of
British, Russian and American experts be in
vited to visit the seal islands next summer
and report fairly upon the subject.
In concluding this introduction to my work
of the past season, and its result, desire to
say that have been exceedingly careful in
gathering my data upon which l base all
statements of fact and opinion, and to secure
these data have literally lived out upon the
| field itself, where those facts alone can be
gathered honestly, or else they had better not
be gathered at all.

A CLEVELAND, Ohio, bond concern of
alleged benevolence, announcing that for
every dollar invested with it it would
return three dollars within year, after
swindling some thousands of people has
collapsed. The wonder is that in this day
of enlightenment any one could be found
to invest in such concerns promising so
much. Yet there are dupes in plenty for
every new scheme of this order that is
put forward. Probably nowhere else
have the fraudulent and impossible char
acter of these so-called tontines been so
thoroughly exposed as in Ohio; yet, in
the same State, within year or two after
the expose, new swindle is projected
and finds no difficulty in securing some
thousands of Buckeye subscribers. 1t
will not do to attribute this fact to igno-
rance, since it develops that majority of
the people who go into the schemes are
those who have been warned against
them, or who have had bitter experiences
in swindles of similar character. 1t is
more rational to look for the cause for the
supply of dupes to the meaner side of
human nature, the perfect readiness Of
large class of people to take the chances"
of making something at the expense
of someone else. They hope to be
in early enough to become members
of the little band that may receive some
few crumbs, that their example may op-
crate to the winning over Of those who
are still doubtful and suspicious. 1t is
probable that these mutual benefit and
endowment associations lure some to
their nets who are ignorant of the snare;
but the majority who go in nowadays
are those who are dishonest enough to be
willing to realize upon the misfortune
or the skinning of others. 1t is the old,
old story Of willingness to risk being
swindled, in order to share the booty
| stripped from others. The true method
of treating the whole list of associations
| proposing to give something for nothing,
| is to pass by on the other side; to remain
deaf to their alluring promises and blind
to their attractive mathematics. Put it
down as a rule that any manner of organ
ization proposing to receive money and
pay it back with gain at the end of given
time, that has no legitimate investment
for such funds, and derives its alleged
profits from forfeitures, is fraud, and is
an eggregious swindle whenever it pro-
poses to pay enormously more than is
invested in comparatively brief time.

tary to Be at His Desk Soon.
NEW YORK, May 1.-The following state
ment was given out at the residence Of Mr..
Damrosch this morning relative to the illness
of Secretary James G. Blaine:
There seems to be an impression that the
condition of Secretary Blaine is much worse
than has been reported from day to day in the
newspapers. DR.. Dennis, the family physi-
clan. called at the Damrosch residence this
morning and, after remaining with Mr. Blaine
for nearly half an hour, stated that his patient
was feeling much better today than he was
yesterday. The Secretary partook of a very
light breakfast and afterward chatted pleas
antly with his wife. son-in-law and daughter. 1"
Mrs Blaine said that it was barely possible
that she and her husband would leave for
Washington tomorrow. 1t is well known among
Mr.. Blaine's friends that he is ALWAYS careful Of
his health and breads the least attack of sick
ness
There are many important matters in the
State Department at Washington which re-
quire the Secretary's personal attention and
for this reason Mr.. Blaine is DESTROYS Of return
ing to his post in Washington as soon as posi-
ble This fact alone may have tended to retard
his complete recovery earlier.
DIR. Dennis added that he had no fears that
the Secretary would not be at his post Of duty
soon and quickly regain his usual vigor.

ENTERTAINMENT PERMITS.

The Assessor Thinks All should Be Paid for
Unless for Religious or Charitable Obiects,
Assessor Trimble is endeavoring to increase
the Golfers Of the District. Heretofore when.
ever any club or society desired to give an
entertainment. it made application for free
permit to the Commissioners. The law says
that every person or persons giving an exhibit
ton, ball, party, &C., where an admission fee is
charged, shall pay license fee of $5 per day
or $40 per week. provided the proceeds are not
for the benefit Of any charitable or religious
institution, which are exempt under the law.
The Commissioners have been in the habit Of
granting such permits when it was evident that
no one was to receive any remuneration, as in
the case of amateur base ball clubs. They
play among themselves and charge small adj
mission fee, the proceeds going toward defray-
ing the expenses of the club.
OF late applications for permits have increased
80 per cent. Every time ball, fair or party 10
given application 10 made for a permit. Mr..
Trimble thinks that strict Interpretation of
the law will prevent the issuance of permits for
everything where admission 10 charged unless
the proceeds are for the benefit of some reli-
gious or charitable institution. The Commits
sioners are disposed to put . liberal construc-
ton on the law and have submitted the ques-
ton to the attorney for the District for his
opinion ~ to the scope Of the law.

Philadelphia Hospitals Abandon It's Use,
Owing to It's Great Danger.
PHILADELPHIA, May IA local paper says:
In all the hospitals Of the city the use Of the
Koch lymph for the cure of tuberculosis has
been practically discontinued. Where there is
no absolute discontinuance Of the topic agent
it Is only being experimental with in q few
selected cases Even in these special cases the
treatment Of the lymph is becoming narrower
and narrower in scope. Resident physicians Of
the hospitals say the fluid has proved to be Of
such small value that together with the great
danger attached to experimentation, there il
no reasonable escape from abandoning it.
At the Home for Consumptives at Chestnut
Hill and also at the male branch Of that in
stitution, All Spruce street. the Koch lymph
has been superseded by q new treatment Dr.
VIM. NJ. Angney, visiting physician of both in
s1tutlons, says that the lymph has failed utterly
save In q single case. The cure of that patient
is so uncertain, however. that no good has
come from the experiments. The new treat
ment that DIR. Angney has instituted is one ad-
vocated by two Detroit physicians 1t consists
OF inhalation of chlorine and hypodermic
medication by chloride of gold and soda and a
solution OF iodine. The value of this new
treatment has not yet been determined.
Al the jefferson Hospital experiments with
been brought to a close. 1t is known that Dr.
Da Costa considered the remedy too dangerous
for experiment, because there was no certain
knowledge as to its best use.
DIR. j. William White says the fluid is being
used at the University Hospital in selected
cases. The experiments, he added, were being
confined to narrower fields steadily. The same
statement is given by the physicians at the Ger
man Hospital. In the rest of the hospitals
where there have been but q few experiments,
the lymph has almost become a stranger
1t has leaked out that the tuberculosis COM
mission OF the veterinary department of the
University Of Pennsylvania has abandoned its
experiments with Koch's lymph. and a
majority Of the members Of the commission
are OF the opinion that both as a curative
and diagnostic agent the fluid is valueless.
The commission is now at work on its re-
port, giving the result of its experiments,
which will be made public next week. When
the experiments by the commission were be-
gun they attracted the attention of the medical
fraternity the world over. 1t was thought that
If as diagnostic or tuberlucosis cattle lymph
would be effective, the spread Of tuberculosis
would be to large extent controlled.
