why Fat Men sufrsr in Hot weath,r.

In suggesting new theory of the SUMS
light and heat to the members of the
Boston Scientific Society, George Smith
showed scientific reasons why fat man
should suffer more than lean one in
summer. The new theory, briefly put. is
this: Gravity is an ethereal force con
tinually streaming from space through
every solar or celestial body. If the body
is not movable with relation to some
larger body this force of gravity becomes
that form of molecular motion which we
call heat. AS gravity depends upon the
mass Of the body, and as heat is accord
ing to Mr. Smiths theory, in one sense
gravity, IL follows that the larger q
body is the hotter Hence the fat mans
discomfort Boston herald.

SOME ANCIENT DEBTS
COME TO THE FRONT TO BLAST DIRECT
TAX REFUND HOPES.

Many of the States Are in Arrears to the
Government, and VIII Lose Their Share
The WofuI Plight West Virginia
Is In.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-It appears
that many of the States that expected to re-
alize the entire amount of their contribu-
tions to the direct tax are to be disappointed.
Scrutiny OF the refunding act by the First
Comptroller has satisfied him that
the Government may claim offsets
against all States where the tax was
not collected from individuals directly by
the Government. He has been searching the
records for such offsets, and here are some
OF those he has already discovered, on ac-
counts OF quotas of arms, ammunition
and accoutrements issued under the act Of
1903 up to 1887:
California, $S,110; Georgia. 81, 229; Hi
nois, S17. .S07; Michigan, $5,633; Minnesota,
1881; Oregon, S2,472; Virginia, Sc, 4O6;
Wisconsin, S5,2O1; New Mexico, 1851;
Washington, $685.. The amounts repre-
sent the extent to which the quotas we're
overdrawn. Had the old law continued in
force most of these States might have made
the account square by diminishing the
amounts of their acquisitions. But alter
the new militia law OF 1887 had been passed,
this course could not be pursued, and the
State accounts for refund OF direct tax are
now, or will be when presented, held up
pending investigation.
Vermont's large arrearage is explained
by the fact that during the war she made
heavy requisitions for arms to repel the
threatened St. Aibans raid, and it is said
that the State afterwards sold S15O, 600
worth of these arms to France. West Vir-
ginia is perhaps in o worse plight than
any other State. Virginia owed the Gov
ernment 81, 500, 600, on account of State
bonds, and when the new State was cut off
1t agreed to assume responsibility for her
share of the indebtedness. But the Govern
ment was never repaid.
VirgInia's share OF the direct tax money
cannot be withheld, for there the money
was collected from individuals.

THEY SHOWED FIGHT.
Fierce Battle Between Strikers,
Police and the Military
OVER BRADFORD WEAVERs' STRIKE
Ten Thousand Strikers Charged and Dis
persed by Troops.
MANY PEOPLE WOUNDED IN THE FRAY
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPArcH.1

BRADFORD. April 13.-A strike has been
for some time in progress at the Manning
ham mills, and yesterday 5000 of the strik-
ers attempted to hold a meeting near the
town hall, but were prevented by the police
and the town councillors.
Sanders. of Rotterdam, followed the
crowd that entered the square and tried to
speak, but large body of police came out
of the town hall and dispersed the meeting
and assaulted Sanders.
In the evening the leader. Sanders, again
tried to hold meeting, butwas arrested as
he was about to speak, amid great excite
ment, the whole town being in an uproar.
Another well known labor leader, Tillett,
then succeeded in addressing the crowd.
Another meeting of the strikers held at st.
Georges Hall in the afternoon was more
successful, and from it the men pro essed to
have received much encouragement
Ten thousand of the striking weavers as
sembled to-day for the purpose of protest
ing against the action of the municipal au-
thorities in forbidding the meeting which
the strikers had arranged for yes
terday. The police vainly tried to
disperse the gathering, but their repeated
charges on the crowd proved futile. Mat
ters finally assumed such shape that the
authorities determined to take decisive
action, and after the strikers had for the
last time been ordered to disperse and had
refused, the riot act was read and the mill
tary was then summoned.
The soldiers, upon their arrival at the
scene. Joined forces with the police and a
combined charge was made upon the ranks
of the stubborn strikers. A fierce struggle
ensued, but the strikers were unable to
resist the increased force and were
compelled to retreat before the
bayonets and batons. The police
used their batons very freely and many OF
the strikers were injured. Several of the
police were also hurt during the fight. The
authorities succeeded in placing seven of
the ringleaders under arrest. tits probable
that the strikers will attempt to hold another
meeting tomorrow and that the scenes
witnessed to-day will be renewed.
Midnlght-The excitement is unabated.
The military occupied the streets for an
hour, charging up and down. Many peo-
pie were wounded and taken to the town
hall, where their wounds were dressed.

A SCATHlNG REPORT
On THE PENAL AND CHARITABLE IN
sTlTUTIONs OF THE STATE

An Utter Absence of System and Regulated
Method-wasteful and Lavish Expendi-
lures Can Easily Be Made, as Well as
Downright Misapplication.
fFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT.
HARRISBURG, April Ex-senator Mylin
tonight presented the report of the special
committee to investigate the charitable and
correctional institutions of the State. 1t
devides the dependent classes into three
sections-delinquents, who violate the law;
destitutes, whose poverty makes them
charge upon the community, and defec-
tives, who have inherited or acquired de-
fects, either mental or physical.
Upward of S37, 600, 900 have been appro-
priated by the State of Pennsylvania to the
various penal and charitable institutions
enjoying Its bounty. More than third OF
this amount, S12, ,675, ,920, has been given in
the last ten years: nearly third in
the last six years, and between a fourth
and fifth in the last four wears.
For the two years, 1887 and 1885, S.. 800, ,9S7
were appropriated, and for 1889 and 1890,
S., 84S, 239, the total for the four years being
nearly S., 600, 600 (S7,753, ,224). Of this there
was paid for construction and maintenance
to the Pittsburg Deaf and Dumb School,
S54S. 600; Morganza, S1,611, 724; DiXmont,
81, 266, 426; Western Penitentlary, -, 5a2, I23.
The report goes on 10 say that evidence
at command shows an absence of system and
regulated method upon the basis of which
grants have been made, and are made and
applied. that is not only inconsistent with
prudence. and economy, but affords
opportunity for wasteful and lavish
expenditures, as we'll as culpahle misappli-
cation and misdirectIon of the public funds.
This uncertainty and vagueness exists In the
lack of proper specification as to the pur-
pose for which moneys are appropriated to
institutions The intention of legisla-
tors as to the uses for which money
appropriated is to be applied is LETT in
doubt, so that its application is entirely at
the option of the persons receiving IT. In
many instances there is no specification
whatever, the gift being outright, without
the least qualification.
Upon the subject of standards for the cor
rection of public ills, the report SAYS:
every institution of the State represents a
different theory, or is in transitory state
from one to another The Eastern and
Western Penitentiaries represent the princi-
piles of solitary confinement and coEgregate
imprisonment; the insane hospitals are e1-
periments of differing methods and theories
as to the cure or care OF the insane, or are
in transition state; the House of Refuge,
Morganza, Huntingdon and various chill
dren's aid societies, represent different
ideas as to the reformation of the young
criminal. All are advancing toward the
same goal along different, apparently unex-
plored paths.

SUED FOR MALPRACTICE.
Instead of $50, 600, as Asked for, the Plain
tiff Gets $50.


tiff Gets $50.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DgsPATCH.1
NEW YORK. April 13.-Judge Pryor, Of
the Court of Common Pleas, to-day tried
suit by Rosa Becker to recover
$4,000 from DR.. John B. Janiski,
for alleged malpractice. She was
charity patient. and the doctor attended
her three days in confinement She sent for
him on the fourth day, but he did not come.
AS result of alleged improper treatment
she had to undergo several surgical opera
tions The defense was that the doctor told her
that he was going out of town. He asked
her to remain quiet, and if she needed fur
ther treatment, to go to the dispensary, and
she did not heed his ADVICE. In charging
the jury, the Judge said: "a physician does
not contract to cure patient; he is not an
insurer, but his undertaking and the duty
which the law imposes on him is only TO ex-
ercise due skill and care in the treatment of
his patient.
SIT is enough if competent physician
exercises his best judgment in case. He
NAV decline to respond to the patient unable
to compensate him, but if he undertakes the
treatment of such patient he cannot defeat
q suit for alpractic, nor mitigate recov-
cry against him upon the principle that the
skill and care required of a physician are
proportioned to his expectation of pecuniary
recompense."
The jury gave the plaintiff a verdict of $50.
