Bnt Nox Still Believes in Only One Moral Standard for Both Sexes.
And Says That Some Mothers Sell Their Daughters
 for Gold.

New York, June 25.-In my morn .iz5g mail is a letter from young man who calls my attention to some statements which I made recently concerning a. young woman who re- fused to marry a man whose moral character did not equal her own. This correspondent is at odds with my position. He writes: If her pa- rents were satisfied with him as a son-in-,aw why should she object to him because he was a little fast?" A second reading of the article will show this correspondent that no attempt was made to declde for this young lady, her case being taken as good one to emphasize social creed which l fully believe in. not withstanding this very earnest let ter from man who thinks l am en- tirely in the wrong. Briefly, the po- sition taken in the Sunday morning talk was this: There should be no different moral standard for young men than for young women.

Admiral Dewcy's Health.

So far as we can learn the recent ru-
NOR that Admiral Dewey was seriously
out Of health is without foundation. His
brother, Hon. Charles Dewey, informs Us
I at while the admiral, in recent letters,
alludes to tho fact that he was feeling
somewhat woaiied by tho eXacting cares
and labors of his most responsible posi-
lion, he does not intimate that his health
had become in any way impaired. The
admiral's son, as we are Informed, does
not believe there is any foundation for
the report, and thinks that the recent re
ports on the subject are only a revival of
the rumor Of several months ago, which
was entirely baseless. Everybody is in
terested in George Dewey, and believes
that he is the best man that could be in
his place; and all will trust that his life
and health may be preserved in full
vigor

Anti Tuberculosis.

The New York State Medical society
through it's legislative committee is en-
deavoring to secure from the New York
Legislature an appropriation of $500, go
for the establishment of a State hospital
in the Adirondacks for the treatment of
persons afflicted with incipent tuberculo-
sis. The committee say that the reports
of municipal boards of health relative to
deaths from consumption show tht 1900
residents OF that State die yearly from it,
For every death there are supposed to be
FIVE cases of tuberculosis, and under the
ordinary conditions Of life each person
afflicted communicates the disease to five
other persons.
The bill pending in the Legislature does
not provide that the expense of mainten-
ance OF patients shall be borne by the
State, but either by the patients them
selves, if they can afford it, or, if too poor
to maintain themselves, by the city or
town where they reside at the time they
are stricken with the disease. This plan
has been carried out in the State of Mass
chusetts with great success. 1t is undis-
puted that 80 per cent of tho cases Of in
oipient tuberculosis are durable. In Mass
achusetts the average cost of maintenance
is $3.50 per patient per week. An institu-
tion Of this character teaches the patients
how to care for themselves when they get
we'll, and how to prevent a return Of the
disease to themselves and its spread 10
others, and there could not be a better
place for such an institution than in the

Preparations for the Next Census

Unusual interest will attend the taking
of the census of 1900, not only on account
Of the enormous increase it is expected to
show in the wealth and resources of the
United States but also because it will
also include one OF our newly acquired
possessions The law providing for the
enumeration directs that the census shall
be taken in Alaska and Hawaii and we
shall learn how many dusky citizens we
have acquired through our annexation OF
the Pacific republic. No decision has been
made with reference to q census in Porto
Rico and the Philippines, and in view of
the developments now occurring in the
philippines it is easy to see how the TAX
ing of a census in that archipelago might
he attended with considerable difficulty,
but there would seem to be no good rea-
son why the world should not be inform
ed with reference to the number of peo-
pie and resources Of Porto Rico, which
is ours beyond the probability of separa
tor. So far as the next census Is con-
ccrned Cuba and the Philippines are
placed on par with Porto Rico, so that
the failure to include them in the coming
census proves nothing regarding the at
titude of our government toward the
question of the permanent annexation OF
the Philippines.
The regular work of the enumeration
will not begin until June /, 1900, but ex-
Gov. Merriam of Minnesota, the director
of the census, announces that he will en-
deavor to start the organization OF his de.
