Disease or Its Terrors.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. IA number of
physicians who are interested in DR.. Joseph o.
Hirschfelder's oxy<uberculine are agitating
the question Of founding q free laboratory and
dispensary where poor persons afflicted with
consumption may go for treatment. DR.. Hirsch-
fielder and other physicians have received many
letters and kilograms from Dor ons in the East
ern States during the past week. 1t is not pos
Bible for one doctor to attend to moro than a
small percentage of such cases, and DR.. Hirsch-
fielder has found himself without the power to
grant III the petitions which have come to him.
A number OF physicians express the hope that
rich persons who are inclined to benevolence
will have q laboratory erected SO that the
remedy may be given without charge to those
who have no means.
DR.. f. W. Reilly. Commissioner of the Depart
ment of Health of Chicago, has written to DR..
Hirschfelder, saying. that from 1900 to $500
persons die annually from consumptio in
that city, and that 1t Is the duty OF his depart
ment to investigate any remedy by which this
mortality may be reduced. He therefore re-
quested copies of his report concerning oxy-
tuberculinc and information as to how and at
what price it may be obtained.
1t is the belief of DIR. Hirschfelder and other
physicians who have confidence in the remedy
that consumption may be cradicated from the
world by the use of this remedy, but they be-
leve the task of wiping out the disease Is SO
great that tho national Government will have
TO act in the matter to accomplish 1t.

COAST LINE SIGNAL SYSTEM.
Plan by which Vessels or tho Navy Ma!
Communicate with the Shore.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-The special board ap-
pointed to consider the coast line signal system,
by which ships Of the navy can keep in COM
munication with tho Atlantic seaboard when
within n reasonable distance, has drawn up q
long and detailed plan. which will receive the
approval of Secretary Long. Under the scheme
outlined the entire coast line, from Maine to
the Gulf, will have special stations through
which, at any time of day or night. vessels of
the navy within signal distance can send and
receive messages. The life saving stations will
BIO provided with suitable signal equipment,
B%emaphore erected for use in daytime. and tho
Very night signal colors for use at night.
Through the semaphore it will be practicable to
pignal ships six miles at sea, and with the Very
lights the vessels may easily communicate with
the shore q dozen or fifteen miles away.
The Treasury Department will cooperate will
the navy in equipping tho Life Saving Guards
for service ms signal agents. State Naval Militia
organizations vii! have direct charge OF the sys-
tenn in war time. and will operate the supple
mental stations where life saving stations are
not located in ordinary times. Pigeon cotes will
be established at many of the stations, through
which communications may be had by ships,
when fifty miles or loss at sea, with the shore.
The carrier pigeon system Will be greatly en-
larged, and will thus form an important part of
the coast guard signal service. Assistant Secre-
tary Roosevelt expects to have the plan In work
Ing order in u few months.

If American merchants would
secure the trade of Americans
who have been in the habit of

they will sell at smaller profits.

OGDENsBURG, Nov. John Fl. Nevins, one
of the wealthiest citizens of Ogdensbure. a
quarry owner and contractoro of the now armory,
committed suicide at z o'clock this morning. He
had been living for thirty-one years with Miss
Hill. who was his housekeeper, but for the past
eight years has been reported as his common
law wife. He shot himself in n small closet, put.
ting a rife to his mouth. The verdict OF the
Coroner's jury was that he came to
porarily insane, but 1t is commonly be-
iieved that he desired to rid himself Of the
Hill woman and was respondent because no
was not able to induce her to leave him for a
pecuniary consideration. Nevins was one of
Ogdensburg's most popular men. He was 81
years old. and was the tallest man in tho city.
Speculation is rife as to whether Miss Hill can
establish the fact Of a common law marriage
and secure dover rights.
