Sanitarium for CONSERVATIVES.

DR.. ]. c. Boyd, of the ~avy, who has
returned from attending the tuberculo-
sis congress at Berlin, reports that Eu-
ropean scientists are endeavoring to
find a serum to combat the disease. He
was able to enlighten the congress Upon
the plans of the United States govern
ment to cure or alleviate the sufferings
OF men in the marine service who are af-
ficted with tuberculosis, by sending
them to the government marine SANTA
rum at Fort Stanton, N. M. In doing
so he furnished information as to the
climate of this region. DR.. Boyd says
that development of consumptive sani-
tariums in Europe is another matter
that has attracted much interest among
the profession on this side of the Attain
tic. 1t is now assured that the disease
in it's earlier stages can be checked.
With the building up of the patients

recurrence Of the disease after leaving
the institution, even if the lung tissue
already destroyed cannot be replaced.
Even in advanced stages the disease
can be so checked that an individual
may, with care and good climate, live
his allotted span with only a frac-
ton of the lung area possessed by a nor
NAL subject.

The output of the Albemarle mine at
Cochiti probably exceeds that Of every
other gold producer in the territory, and
when the larger mill shall be completed
it will rank high among mining proper
ties of the west. The mill handles about
l3o IONS of ore daily now, but with the
additional facilities the output will be
doubled. With an ore body so feet in
thickness, there is plenty of material to
keep the plant busy. The contemplated
improvements IN this mine. in the way
of an electric plant operated 1t Madrid,
thirty-five miles distant, the mill
changes and the water system, will cost
S25O,0O0 That is a pretty stiff expendi-
ture for a new mine, but as the ore pays
the bill, the expenditure is justifiable.
1t is the development of this mine and
others that is going to give the camp a
railway at an early date. Then look out
for Cochiti!

watered by the dews of heaven, with it's
opaline tintings at sunrise and sunset,

the establishment of the second bank,

The Press CljDpjnu Industry.

Eighteen ear ago a young man with
worth much more. He started a press
clipping bureau, to furnish newspaper
articles to persons mentioned or who
wished to read comments Upon any sub
ject. The business has grown to the ex-
tent that six firms have consolidated in
to a capitalized company of S., 1000, 900,
although they own only a few pairs Of
shears, paste pots, newspaper files and
desks. The company is a dividend pay
err. The business is international.
To-day $4,000 persons and $50, 0OO, 900
are employed in the business of making
and distributing newspaper clippings.
There are between fifty and 100 bureaus
in the United States, nearly as many in
England and on the continent, others at
Melbourne, Sydney, Calcutta, Yokoha-
ma, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Natal,
Buenos Ayres and Rio de Janeiro. All
the biggest of these are in effect inter
national. If they have not branches all
about, they have instead a sort of traf-
fc arrangement, after the manner of
the big banks, by which their foreign
correspondents fill cabled orders quite
as though they were received over their
own counters.
Presidents, kings, authors, politicians,
actors, corporations are patrons, not
merely for reasons Of personal vanity,
put because it pays to know what is
said of them and their affairs.
Railways, telegraph lines and express
companies have gone into the business
on their own account. At first they were
among the regular bureaus most pay
ing subscribers, but presently they be-
a ordering local agents to clip and file
every line of railway matter appearing
in local sheets, and to send the clippings
to the main office, where they are in

item so kept has proved % be worth a

1t should not be taken for granted
that all who favor prosecuting the Phil
ippine war to the end are in favor of
expansion under all circumstances. 1t
cannot be positively stated that Presi-
dent Mckinley himself is committed to
that policy. AS he recently said, the pol
icy of this country as to the islands is
with the people, who, through congress,
will determine what sort of government
the islands shall have. 1t is now a ques-
ton only of maintaining the dignity and
reputation of the United States. When
that is done by a vigorous prosecution
Of the wal and by it's termination, the
question of expansion will be discussed
more profitably than at present. The
American people need not quarrel over
what policy to pursue with the islands
until they have in unison of effort made
it possible to carry out whatever course
may be decided upon. The hare must
be caught before it can be eaten or
petted.

John Dillon, Nationalist member of
parliament, an Irish member, of course,
made protest in a meeting Of that body
a few days ago against appropriating
money for Notifications in the British
West Indies, because nature intended
the Islands to belong to the United
States, and this country would eventu-
ally acquire them, as the islanders
would have such union, and Great Brit
ain must give them up or pay heavily
for keeping the islands fortified and to
hold down the disconnected natives. At
present the United States does not want
the rummy old islands. She knows
when she has enough.
