CONSUMPT|vES ISOLATED
Successful Operation of the New
Ordinance in Ala.
media.
PATIENTS MUST BE ADVISED
Methods of Treatment Must Be Changed
to Prevent the Spread of
Contagion.

DR.. q. H. Lubbock. Health Officer of
Alameda, in speaking yesterday of the or
dinance recently adopted by the Alameda
Council requiring physicians to report
cases Of consumption for the purpose of
isolating the patients said: ''It is too soon
to make any statement of the practical re-
suits of the new order, but that it will be
very effective in preventing the spread Of
the disease there can be no doubt.
"It is now known that consumption is
contagious" said DR.. Lubbock, land the
wonder is that precautions of this kind
have not been taken all over the land. 1
believe it has been left for Alameda to set
the example, as know of no other place
where the isolation of consumptives is un-
dertaken.
by isolation we mean room isolation,
of course. We could not undertake to
house up consum ptives as we do smallpox
patients. In the first place there is not
the necessity, for the one disease is not
nearly as contagious as the other. What
We do is to require the family to give the
patient room by himself, or at least q
bed. We require them to be cleanly, we'll
supplied with handkerchiefs or cloths for
use on the street, which are afterward
burned.
"a mother having consumption will
often have her children sleeping in the
same bed with her, and by kissing them
and other similar means communicate the
disease. In such cases it is generally
blamed on hereditary taint. while that is
really not the cause at all. A perfectly
healthy person sleeping in the same bed
with consumptive for a length of time is
disease
"Hitherto," continued the doctor, lit
has been customary to conceal from con-
sumptve the fact that he is such. The
effort has been to avoid the depressing
effect OF the knowledge upon the patient s
mind and spirits. But with the recogni-
tion of this disease as contagious other
people must be considered. So that the
time has about come when the old rule
his complaint and precautions taken to
prevent Its ccmmun ication to others.
AS to the cure of consumption. that is
another matter. l am afraid that the
several cures that have received SO much
attention lately have hardly been put to
sufficient test as yet to warrantth the pinnlng
OF great faith to them. There has not been
time enough. 1t is unfortunate that they
have been brought to public notice prema-
turely, for the effect is to discredit even
that which may be good. i am not saying
that these remedies are not all that is
claimed for them, but that they have not
been made certain as yet. But whether
they are or not. / am sure that an ef-
fective remedy for consumption in its early
stages is only matter of little time. The
inquiry and experiment that is going on
will surely find it.
In the meantime it is plainly within
the province of common-sense to remove
those causes for the spread of the disease
that all physicians are aware of.

NOT GH1RARDELLrs CHILD.

Mrs. Barbag gelata's Fight for Fortune
Fails.
Judge Coffey has decided that Domingo
Barbagelata, who was petitioning for a
childs share of the estate of Domingo
Ghirardelli, was not Ghirardell1s child.
She was, he decides, the daughter of
Ghirardelli's wife by her first husband.
In the will the following clause was pre-
sent:
| bequeath to Domingo or Domingo Martin,
wife of Francisco Barbagelata, domiciled in
San Francisco, of California, $4,000.
Mrs. Barbageleta claimed she was
Ghlrardelli's child, born before he mar
ried her mother, and she claimed she had
been recognized as his child by the tes-
tator. From the evidence, however, Judge
Coffey has decided that she was Chi
rardelli's stepdaughter, and entitled to no
more of the estate than the amount spe-
cialIy bequeathed to her.

WAR INCIDENT OF THE FUTURE.

The Great General Was Gloomy Because
Things Were Not Going Ahead.
The great general was perturbed.

he said. 81 cannot risk battle now"
But the enemy is advancing already"
protested his aid.
"Tken we must fall back" returned the
general decisively.
1--WE are strongly intrenched." sug-
gested the aid.
81 cannot help it, replied the general,
"The odds are against us, and it would be
nothing less than suicidal to risk an en-
gagement.
1--WE outnumber them" persisted the
aid. as if unable to understand the gen.
erals sudden resolve.
"1n the matter of mere numbers we have
the advantage, but"
The general shook his head soemnly.

later, "a great calamity has overtakeh us. }"

The aid grew pale.

the general. 1--WE will have to fall back

BEFORE THE GRAND JURY
Customs Inspector Williams
Called Upon to Defend
Himself.
Special Agent Moore Anxious to Sc.
cure an Indictment-The
Wong Sam Case.

There is lull in the Custom house scam
dal. Major Moore, Special Agent of the
Treasury Department, Is not pursuing the
inspectors of the Chinese Bureau with that
same eagerness that distinguished his
movements at the opening of the cam
paign. Whether he is satisfied with bring
ing the investigation before the United
States Grand Jury and leaving it in the
hands of that body for final action. or
whether he has been checkmated by the
department because Of his inability to Sc
cure conviction in any of the cases lex
cept one) handled by him since coming to
San Francisco the major will not say. 1t
is known, however, that he is greatly de-
pressed since Collector Wise defeated him
In every turn, and he naturally fears be-
ing recalled by Secretary Carlisle.
The charges against "Dick" Williams,
the shifty interpreter of the Custom
house, are before the Grand Jury The
accused with his attorney. LYMAN /.
Mowry, was before that body yesterday.
The inspector was called upon to explain
his connection with the unlawful landing
OF Chinese at this port and to explain GER
tain services rendered by him for which
he is said to have received money The
majority of the witnesses against Will
liams are Chinese and their evidence does
not seem to carry much weight with the
courts. 1t is believed in customs circles
that the only salvation for Major Moore is
to secure the conviction of Williams,
otherwise he will be changed from the
agency.
The examination of Wong Sam was con-
tirued before United States Commis sioner
Heacock yesterday. Miss Cameron and
Miss Culbertson. from the Chinese Presby-
terian Mission, testified that Dong Sun
ct did not leave the mission on the low
that Wong Him and Wong Wing Chew
testified to seeing her in photograph GAL
lery in company with Loui Quong. This
acted as sort of bombshell in the camp
OF the defense, and an adjournment was
taken until this morning.

DR.. O. H. Peterson Passes Away
After a Lingering
Illness.
CAME HERE IN FORTY.N1NE.
Was Once City Physician of Sacra.
mento-Lived for Many Years in
Placer County.

Another California pioneer of forty-nine,
DR.. o. H. Peterson, has passed away. The

Thursday. The funeral will be under the
auspices of Crockett Lodge No. 139, F. and

orator who has banished the chestnut from
the banquet board.

Chaunceys' career from the cradle to
Yale is pictured in verse. His achieve

He's been dining and speaking
For years near a score;
He has routed the chestnut,
Evlcted the boor.
No tables without him,
No nner complete,
The fun always waits
Till he gets on bis feet:
Making all men his friends
Without seeming to try.
Now he prays with the pious,
Now drinks with the dry,
Always sweet as daisy
And fresh as the dew,
No fly ever lighted

SYMPHONY CONCERT.
Landsberger Wins Applause for His
Violin Solos at Golden Gate
Hall.

A good programme was performed yes
terday afternoon in Golden Gate Hall at
the seventh popular concert of the San
Francisco Symphony Orchestra. The au-
dience was large one and showed great
appreciation for all the works performed.
The orchestra opened the concert with
the overture to Rossinis "Tancred, the
familiar music being gracefully and effect
lively rendered. This was followed by the
Largo Appassionato." from Beethoven's
by the conductor, j. III. Howe, and "LOve's
Dream After the Ball., y Czloulka.
Nathan LandsbeTger played Legend,
by Wieniawski, and a "Spanish Dance"
by f. RehfeId, with the orchestra. Both
works were well within the young violin
lists powers, and he rendered. them with
considerable breadth and impression. The
Spanish Dance. which was remarkably
taking composition, was most enthusias-
ticaly encored, and Mr.. Landsberger re-
sponded by playing 'Leonard's Souvenir
de Bade."
Miss Rose Adler showed that she has
improved considerably in her singing. She
no longer raises her shoulders to any per-
ceptible extent in breathing and the ennis
sion OF her tones is purer. She sang "The
Maids of Cadiz," by Delibes, very prettily,
In the excerpt from the garden scene in
Faust" which Miss Adler sang with
DR.. ID. A. Hodghead, the young lady's
voice was scarcely dramatic enough to
sustain the role of Marguerite effectively,
but she sang the Faust" music gracefully
and pleasantly notwithstanding. DR..
Hodghead was not an unsatisfactory Faust
and he sang his aria from the Lucia"
well, but he might secure much fuller
tone ii he would aim at less nasal pro-
duction.
The final Strauss waltz by the orchestra,
"Dorfschwalben." was played with consid-
erable spirit, but the temps was slower
than that which Eoouard Strauss gives to
the family waltzes when his orchestra
plays them.
A movement is under way to provide
funds by means of which the rehearsals of
the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra
may be continued throughout the summer
in order to prepare for the fall concerts.

anxious to be tried at once, so McCluskey's
for April 3. Dean will then be given an
opportunity to change his plea should he
desire to do so. 1t is supposed that Deans
expressed willingness to plead guilty is for
the purpose of keeping out testimony which
will damage McCluskey. The case against

posed that Dean feels his case is hopeless,
and SO is willing to sacrifice himself.

English is the language that has altered
most. Regarded merely as Teutonic
language, it is farthest removed from the
parent stock. 1t is descended from the
Saxon, which is the parent of low German
and Dutch, and, as it were, the grand
parent of English. But besides the Teu-
tonic part, which is the groundwork of the
language, it has suffered ali the effects of
