New York as a Health Resort.

DIR. Hubbard Winslow Mitchell, of
New York, Is authority for the state
ment in the Medical Record that hered-
ity in pulmonary diseases is not so i'm
portant feature as has been tra-
ditional for many years. He declares
that the rejection by life insurance
companies of healthy applicant, whose
parents had died of consumption, is
unwarranted, so far as his own obser-
walton goes.
He also asserts that contagion from
personal contact at home, in hotels or
sanitariums, or from inhaling the
breath of a phthisis patient is very
doubtful. However, a source of dan
ger is found in kissing a patient, while
the common house-hy may be the
means of spreading the disease. He
accepts, of course, the theory that the
greatest menace is from the sputem
containing bacilli which are so widely
distributed in the dust of the street,
in public vehicles and various other
ways.
Contrary to the belief which is eX-
ceedingly popular just now, DR..
Mitchell states that in his opinion
locality and soil play an unimportant
part in the disease. In sending cases
away to higher attitudes and distant
resorts the physician gets rid of the
| patient, but not of the disease. The

| self. He advances the somewhat novel
theory, gained from considerable expert
ence, that no place is better for the
| treatment of consumption than New
| York city. Patients who have come
from every state in the union, from
Europe, Canada, the Sandwich Islands,
| and from health resorts in Colorado,
California and New Mexico, are doing
| better in New York, with it's clear air
and bright sunshine, than in the local
to the many afflicted ones who have
rushed in agonized desperation from
pine lands to mountain sleeps, from
plateau to the soft and balmy air of
Southern climes, to gain relief for
loved ones or for themselves.
DIR. Mitchell further suggests, in the
way of treatment, that while it seems
doubtful whether the subcutaneous in
lection of any special remedy or
whether medical inhalations are of
lasting benefit in active liberation of
the lungs, the introduction of some
remedy into the body at short inter-
walls for a long time that will saturate
the blood, and acting as an antiseptic,
modify or destroy the bacillis, must be
the ideal remedy.
For medical treatment he recon-
mends a solution of the halogen group
of salts with the hyochloride of sodium.
Above all, rest and sleep are the most
powerful aids.

Hard Lines for Teachers.

School boards are apt to be impulsive
at times in the way of making rules.
When a particular crisis arises they
may cause considerable embarrassment
in every other case to which it applies.
They have been known to issue edicts
forbidding money making by teachers
outside of earning salary in the schools,
just to affect one teacher they are also
on record as prohibiting teachers from
riding wheels, but it remained for q
Marion county, w. Va, school board to
pass the most candid regulation yet in
the history of education. 1t was to this
effect:
Teachers must not make love while
employed by the board or during school
hours. The violation of this rule will
be sufficient cause for dismissal" This
new order would seem to be one destin-
ed to cause much CONSERVATION in the
educational circles of Marion, particu-
larly since the provocation must have
been strong indeed to warrant it's an
nouneement, Not to be allowed to
make love to the biggest boy or the
biggest girl as the case might be, dur
ing school hours may of course be a
deprivation, but if this order not to
make love while in the employ of tha
board must be strictly followed, there
will probably be a number Of vacan-
cies in the Marion schools, which will
be open only to applicants bordering on
extreme old age.

A South Polar Expedition.

While expedition after expedition
has been fitted out for the purpose of
deciding the location of the North
Pole in years past no one save the
wha!er seems to have taken any in
terest in the Antarctic region.
1t is unqestonably a fact that
around the South Pole lies the largest
unexplored region on the face of the
earth, and an ocean the animal life of
which exceeds in variety and richness
that Of any other known water. No
field is so promising for scientific and
oceanogra phic researches. 1t is, there
fore, not visionary to express the hope
or to have the expectations that the
Gerlache expedition viii be fruitful in
its results, Most of the voyages to-
ward Antarctic regions have been CON-
mercial Enterprises for commercial
ends. They have been In the interest
OF companies organized for securing
cargoes Of guano, or In search Of the
sperm whale,
The knowledge that an expedition is
TO be fitted out for purely geograp-
hieal and scientific purposes to visit
the south Pole, is gratifying coupled
with the announcement that the
United States is to be represented in
the person Of DR., Fredrick A. Cook,
the Arctic explorer. The ship Belglca
has been constructed expressly for the
purpose, and is fitted out with all the
appliances which Arctic explorations
have proved necessary. The members
of the expedition have also been care
fully selected for their experience and
scientific attalnments, The results OF
this venture will not be known for two

DEADLY WORK.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Every newspaper now engaged in per-
verting the facts of the Hazleton incl
dent, and in representing the sheriff of
Luzerne counties and his deputies as
'tmurderers," and the rioters who were
killed while resisting the law as Ameri-
can freomen massacred because they were
exercising their rights as freemen on the
public highways every such newspaper,
whether its impulse be anarchistic or po-
litical, or weakly sentimental, is engaged
in deadly work.
No Volley fired by the officers of the law
into an ignorant and turbulanet crowd,
organized for law-preaking and refusing
to disperse when commanded to do SO in
the name of the law, can be so deadly in
its effect as this fusillade aimed by
shameless or foolish journals at a sheriff
who understood that his duty was to dis
perse the mob, not to allow the mob to
disperse his posse and to bring the law
into contempt,
This eoddling of the moh this syste-
matte invention of facts TO excite SYM
pathy for the victims of their own mis-
deeds, this bestowal OF honors of martyr
dom upon Iioters killed In the act of riot
this inversion of the right relations be-
tween the representative of law and the
man who dehes the law. Is a dangerous
and murderous enterprise that will breed
further mischief and cost more blood.

Birth of the Republican Party.

The National Fremont ASSOCIATION
held it's reunion in Pittsburg last Fri
day and Saturday in celebration of the
forty-first birthday Of the Republican
party. In speaking of the interesting
occasion the Pittsburg Chronicle Tele-
graph says:
1.-THE members of the Fremont asso-
citation saw the principles for which
they contended find acceptance with
the nation in O. comparatively short
time. The Republican party did not
elect its first candidate for president,
but it's second candidate, Abraham Lin
coin, was successful. The people of the
North had gone through a long process
of education on the necessity fer the re-
forms advocated by the new party,
principally it's animosity to human
bondage, and they were ready to throw
their influence in it's favor.
The surviving Fremonters have seen
the Republican party triumph in eight
national elections since they cast their
votes for the candidate from whom
they derive their name and they have
the satisfaction, this year, of Witness
ing a revival of prosperity by reason
of the triumph of the cause of honest
money and protection to home industry,
championed by the party which they
helped to bring into existence"
The convention in which the great
party was formally instituted was call
ed to meet in Pittsburg Feb. 22, 1856
This convention was the result of a
conference held in the same city No
vember. 1855. between Salmon p. Chase
and David N. White, editor of the
Pittsburg Gazette. At the February
convention Owen Lovejoy, the famous
anti-slaVery orator and congressman
made the opening prayer. Horace
Greeley, Joshua r. Giddings, F. p. Blair
of Maryland; Zach Chandler of Michi-
gan, and many other men whose names
belong on the honor roll Of history, were
present.
At the convention held on June II In
Philadelphia the first national Republi.
car ticket with the names of Fremont
and Dayton at its head, was placed in
the field. Well may Pittsburg take
pride in this reunion of men who in q
few years will gather on no more such
historic occasions, but whose work in
assisting in the formation of the Re.
publican party will have done more
TO keep thsir names in memory thar
can be accomplished in the ordinary
life time.

THE BEST STRIKE REPORTS
From the Sunday News

From the Sunday News
The Tribune has contained the best re-
ports of the sitl alton at Hazleton that
have appeared in any OF the papers we
have seen, and we have read all the pa
pers that have devoted special space to
it, including New York and Phllodel-
phia papers. The Tribune is supplied with
its reports by Mr.. Thomas j. Duffy, its
court reporter. Mr.. Duffy has the faculty
of not only knowing news and where TO
find it, but also to present it in accurate,
systematic and highly entertaining and
instructive form. He is one of the bright
est young newspapermen in the state and
has a promising future. The News felici-
tates The Tribune upon its super-eXcel-
lent reports of the Hazleton strike.

Judging from published accounts the
amateur quarantine official is more
dangerous than yellow fever down In
the Southern states. Violent methods
adopted to enforce the quarantines laid
by one town against another are daily
adding new terrors to the yellow fever
epidemic. Shotgun cordons have been
established to shut off communication
with the infected districts, and now the
people of Jackson, Miss, are threaten
ing to burn the nearby railroad bridges
unless trains from Vicksburg and
towns on the New Orleans route run
through the state capital without stop
ping. The precautions taken to check
the spread of the epidemic are, perhaps,
justifable, on the broad ground Of self
preservation; but in the rigor of their
application they undoubtedly SAVIOR

THE "SHOWn is HERE.
m the American Economist.

From the American Economist
President Mckinley was called by some
prophetic follower, "the advance agent of
prosperity" Between November and
March the free-traders more than once,
in an effort to be smart, said that never
was an advance agent" SO far ahead OF
his show. AS was pointed out to them
at the time, the delay in the coming OF
the "show' was due to the United States
constitution, which put so long time be-
tween the election of a president and his
Inauguration. How do those free-traders
like things now? Even the most hide.
bound do not deny that prosperity is here
Is not in the future, but in the present
The "show'' was not far behind the ad.
vance agent as soon as the advance agent
got a chance to get in his work.

The Municipal League of Philadel-
phia proposes to oust Select Council
man Henry Clay from his seat on ac-
count of his alleged interest in an cleo
tric light contract with the city. 1t
seems rather a pity to allow anything
to interfere in the matter of keeping
man with such a historical nama
among the city fathers of a municipal
ity like Philadelphia where so much
is considered to be in a name. Even
in Scranton such a small matter would
not be allowed to interfere.

regions will be set at rest.

The murder was committed at Kendall's
own house. The two families had been liv-
ng close together and on Monday. Prltchard
moved his household goods to another part

helIing him TO move. They had early in
the day provided themselves with a keg of
beer and both men were intoxicated. Be
tween and 6o'clock, while both men were
at kendall'S home. dispute arose be-
tween the two over some trivial family
matter. Kendall became very angry, and
ran uD stairs and came down with revol-
yer with the avOwed intent to murder
Pritchard. Several persons who were in
the room seized this weapon and took it
from him before he could accomplish his
purpose.
Wild with rage Kendall ran up stairs and
came down with a shot gun. A neipbbor
woman who had heard the trouble be-
tween the men, appeared on the scene and
said to the unfortunate man, "for Gods
came the reply that he was going to pro-
tect himself and children. Pritchard at
that moment came around the corner of
the house and Kendall. before any one
could aprevent him, raised the gun and
fired, the charge of shot entering Pritch-
ar'S head near the base of the brain
Pritchard threw up his hands and fell to
the ground and then got up and fell again
He was carried into the house by some
neigf bors who were attracted to the spot
by the discharge of the gun.
Kendall appeared To realize almost in
stantly the awful crime he had committed
He hurriedly left the house and hunted m
the officers of the law, whom he told what
had occurred and gave himself up.
He was placed in the lock up and kent
there until Tuesday morning when he was
brought to Jail. Doctors TroXell and Nc
Donald were summoned who after examIn-
Ing the wound pronounced the injury fatal.

three O'Clock on Tuesday morning, when
he breathed his last.
