THIRTEEN coNsUMPTIvEs DIE.
Appalling Record of One House in an
Ohio Town,

From the Columbus (Ohio) State Journal.
A short time ago Dr. PROFITS, Secretary of
the state board of health received a very
interesting communication from Dr. Gas
ton of Mineral Point o., bearing on the
character and cause of the terrible disease,
consumption. The letter was deemed of
such Importance that it was given the
leading place in the last issue of the Ohio
Sanitary Bulletin, with the following intro
duction by the editor, DIR. Probst:
I'VE print an extremely interesting COM
munication bearing upon the production
of consumption. 1t indicates in the first
place that consumption is essentially an in
door disease. There is great probability
that the germ which causes consumption
is quickly destroyed when freely exposed
TO light and air, Indeed, this is not a mat
ter of conjecture, but has been demonstrate
ed time and again. And while the prac-
tice of expectorating, or splitting, on the
streets is to be eprecated-whether by
consumptives or other persons-the great
danger comes from such material being
cast into dark, unventiated rooms, where
the germs may live for an unknown time
probably for years. 1t will be noted that
the house referred TO below, in which fif-
teen persons probably, and thirteen GER
tainly, died from consumption or tubercu-
losis, is very damp, and the cellar in bad
condition and Furthermore, it is surround
ed by dense foliage.
ut has been known that dampness is a
factor in the production of consumption
probably acting as predlsposing cause. 1t
has been shown for a number of towns
that surface drainage and consequent dry
ing of the soil have always lowered the
death rate from consumption where a wet
soil had been the condition heretofore. The
dense foliage spoken Of would cut off both
air and light Such a house, becoming IN
fected would remain center of infection
for long time.
THE most satisfactory part Of DR.. Cas-
tons statement is his reference to public
opinion regarding this house. It is safe to
say that no other family win move into Il.
The question may be referred to the court
to determine the power of the board of
health to order its destruction.
What is most needed Is that public opin-
ION throughout the land shall be brought
to the level of that of the people of Miner
al Ridge. Not that 1t Is necessary that
houses in which people with consumption
have lived or died need be destroyed, for
such houses can be made perfectly safe
nv modern methods OF disinfection. And
there seems no escape from the conclusion
thar cases of consumption should be re-
ported to the health authorities an order
that this may be done"

EASY FISHING THROUGH ICE.
GRect of Draining Lake in the
Dead of Winter
From the Omaha World-Herald.

From the Omaha World Herald.
This is fish story, but no one need
draw his breath when he reads it. for every
word in it is vouched for by irreproacha-
BILE gentlemen of the Omaha park board Of
commissioners. The public is well aware
of the intentions of the honorable board
TO drain the Hascom Park lakes and do
nate the million or TWO Of FISH in them to
the hospitals and the poor. Well, the up
per lake has been drained, and the FISH.
are there for the hospitals and the poor,
If they. care TO go and dig them up
Along back in the fall, when it was
warm weather, the park commissioners de-
cided to clean out these lakes, or, at least,
the upper one, repave the bottom, where
the catfish and its half-brother, the Ger
man carp, have loved to burrow and in
the spring see If they could not plant some
decent fish, whose tastes did not run so
much 10 mud. But, when they had laid
their plans, there was a golden Indian
summer simmering over Omaha, as it has
a custom Of doing each year, and the park
commissioners forgot that there was such
a thing as winter in this latitude. SO when
they placed the date for their grand fish
ing excursion for Jan. 8, they reckoned
without the weather.
Saturday orders were given to begin
draining the upper lake, and it was
thought that by Monday afternoon at 2
O'Clock the water would have passed away,
except what was held in the lower depth
right in the center, and that when the
park commissioners went out at that hour
all they would have to do would be to cut
a hole IN the ice and rake out the fish. For
this purpose they each went armed with a
last years garden rake and basket The
first on the ground was Mr.. Turkey.
"What is this?" he calculated, as he
found lake from which the ice had drop
ped a distance Of eight feet and was lying
on the bottom, with the exception Of the
deep place" in the middle. Where are
the ish?'
IAN under the ice, sir" respectfully re-
piled the landscape gardener, touching his
cap to the park potentate.
That's queer" Mr.. Turkey muttered
What do you suppose they stayed out
there for? / thought when the water was
let out they all would swim down 10 this
hole"
Fish always swim against the current.
SIR" responded the gardener.
1t was too true. When the water began
to go down. every fish In the puddle be-
gan making a brave effort to get 10 the
top, and the result was that between 100. 900
and $50, 900 fish were left high ard dry on
the bottom around the edges OF the pond
and the ice fell on them and killed them
Fifteen minutes after Mr.. Tuley had
made his discovery the rest Of the board
put in. nAappearance over the hill, each
carrying his garden rake and FISH basket.

SPANS Ex-MINIsTER A SPY
SENIOR POLO CONDUCTS ELABORATE
spy SYSTEM IN CANADA.

His Work Said to He of a Very Dam
eerous Kind-UnabIe to Communi-
cate Directly with the United
states, He Resorts to the Cable.
Enormous TeIegraphic Expendf-
tures-He Is Being Swallowed by
Secret Service Men.
New York, May ia special to the
World from Montreal says: Although
Senior Polo Bernabe, the former minis
ter from Spain at Washington, states
that his only object of staying here is to
re-organize the consular service, it is
evident from matters that have transplred
that the United States has sufficient rea-
son to view his, presence here with appre-
hension.
1t is very difficult to penetrate the action
of Senior Polo and his suite thoroughly
but it is clear to all here that he is d.
recting an elaborate spy system. Some
United States treasury officials have been
here and have Swallowed the party closely
for days, and, from what can be CLEANED
of their careful yelled remarks, the work
of the Spaniards is of a very dangerous
Kind.
1T is known that they have kept up
constant communication with both Gov
Macas of Porto Rico and Gen. Blanco of
Havana, but this alone would not account
for the immense sums oftmoney that they
have spent with the telegraph companies
while here. For the space of three days
their bill for the Western Union and Pos
tai Telegraph amounted to nearly 81 900.
After much investigation 1t was found
that a large amount of this expenditure
was caused by cablegrsms sent to the
United States. When they found out
that they were unable to get messages
to or from the United States direct, they
cabled to and from there by the way OF
London.
"They have also been In communication
constantly with strangers, who afterward
have been seem going into the states and
the secret service agents seemed to have
positive proof that at least one woman
in this city has been approached by them
for spy purposes.

half mile from town, and the bows arc
delighted with the camp, but are kicking
on their rations, and the hotels and res
taurants are doing a land office business
There is not case of canned goods in
the place.
The volunteers here are a fine looking
set of young men, and each one has
passed a rigid physical examination. In
appearance they cannot be told from the
regulars. on account of their large pro-
POi luis. Eden OF the companies has a

OF them have pigs, dogs. goats, ETC.,
Three negro soldiers are under arrest

collins last night. Just who fired the fatal
shot is not known, but the marshal is in

likely that the guilty part will be dis
covered, as the negroes will not inform
on each other. Many of the Northern

French Government Anxious
About Feeling Aroused In Ameri-

Paris, May 16-The Journal des Desbats,
in the course of long article to-day, re-
fleets the anxiety experienced in govern.
ment. circles here respecting the feeling
aroused in America on account of frances
open sympathy with Spain.
1t says: "The whole affair is a misun,
derstanding French opinion, at the OUT
set of tie war, certainly regarded the
United States in the wrong, and some or
the papers expressed this feeling in an
aggressive form.
The Americans, however, should not
have taken the matter tragically, for, oil
all foreigners, our natural sympathies are
for the United States, and our govern
ment throughout has acted most cor.
rectly."
After charging Great Britain with be-
ing at the bottom of the mischief, and Ge-
claring that it is Americas own business
# she de oides TO intervene in distant at
fairs tho article concludes: what con-
Germs us is that America shall not, in taxi
ing UP the great role of international Go
main, start with preconceived ideas
against US and renounce the good under
standing with France which has been so
useful in tine past and which is still more
desirable in the future. The French ma
ton was never really hostile to the Amer
leans, who will realize this when the
present friction has had time to disap-
pear"

POLo's PRESENCE ANNOYING.
No Protest TO Be Made Unless He
Commits overt Act.

No Protest TO Be Made Unless He
Commits overt Act.
New York, May IA special from
Washington to the Times says: 1.-THE con-
tinued presence in Canada of Senior Polo
y Bernabe, late minister to this country,
and the reports which reached here of his
activity there in behalf of the Spanish
causes have given rise to the sugges-
ton that it might be proper proceed
ing on the part of this government to di-
rect the attention of the British govern
ment to the ex-minister's course as a vio-
lation of the neutrality laws.
Certain features OF the Spanish diplo-
Z mats conduct, it is known, have been
brought to the attention of the state de-
partment, but there is the highest posi-
BILE authority for the assertion that no
protest has been made to the British gov
eminent, nor is any contemplated at the
present time. SO long as Senior Polo con-
fines himself to talking about this country
he will not be interfered with
I'm countries like England and the
United States, where a broad freedom of
speech and action is accorded to all, il
is not to be expected that a censorship
of the utterances of any man, especially
a foreigner of rank, should be exercised.
If, however, Senior Polo should undertake
to raise an expedition to attack this coun-
try or should engage in any clearly hos
NE act, he would be guilty of a violation
OF the neutrality laws, and the attention
OF the British government would undoubt-
eddy be directed thereto.
The friendly attitude of England at
present leaves no doubt that nothing more
IMAM a hint would be necessary, if, indeed,
the Spanish minister has not been re-
quested to withdraw without any sug-
gestion from this side
1t is acknowledged at the state depart
ment that annoying as the Spanish min
lsters presence on our very border is,
1t Is an extremely delicate matter for this
government to handle. The United States
mas always been very liberal in it's at
titude in such matters, and the depart
Ineht recognizes that ours is a glass house.
!t is recalled that Senior Polos being al
lowed to stay in Canada can hardly be
considered any worse than our allowing
the Cuban Junta TO exist in this country
while we were friendly with Spain
hosciusko, it IS recalled, was received
mere, entertained in Washington in Off
-. 0NiSS, anu diiONeu 10 raise luIlus.
AS for England, 1t is known that Lon
ooh is hotbed for revolutionary move
ments against the Continental Powers.
Under these circumstances il is unlikely
tfat the ex-minister from Spain will be
.oastrbed, unless he commits some overt
violation of the law of neutrality.
1T is believed here, however that pub
nc opinion in Canada, which pronounces
ms conduct most unusual and in exc
cradle taste, win before long, drive him
out of the country"
