Horses Which Cost

N. Y. Letter in the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Ten horses owned by the city cost the municipality $6O000 a year. Why there should be so large an expenditure per annum for only ten horses the legislature will be asked to appoint committee to in quire. These ten horses are required to do no labor They are stabled in a manner such as are no other equines owned by the city Their abiding place is in a sterilized building at 154 East Fifty-seventh street. They are the horses used in obtaining the city's supply of diphtheritlc serum, and the stable that shelters them is the New York Veterinary college. The good that comes from these ten horses cannot be estimated in dollars and cents. Hundreds and thous- ands of lives have been saved by them. The death rate from dphtheria in New York has greatly decreased since horse serum has been used in treating the dis ease. Nobody denies that the horses have done good, but 1t is claimed that the same good can be done at immensely less cost Persons opposed to the great expenditure claim that New York city could buy al the diphtheritic serum 1t uses in year for less than $6,000 As it is now, the city pays out S5.9S a vial for the manufacture of serum, and 1t sells the same serum in New York city for 75 cents vial and in Chicago for 50 cents vial, the Windy City physicians getting the benefit of s5.4S of good New York money every time they buy vial of the New York serum. The figures seem to prove, too, that the city sells the best of the serum, as the percentage of successful use of it is much larger in Chicago, which buys from the New York city bacteria ogi- cal department two-thirds of the serum used there, than 1t is in this city. The selfish desire of the investigation seekers is, of course, to stop the city from manufac- turing and selling diphtheritic serum. which. they argue the city has no more right to do than it has to manufacture boots and shoes, harness, clothing or any other commodity. But the lives of many are in the balance, and if the investigation should bring about better results in treating diphtheria. the unselflsh, uncommercial and the unprejudiced citizen will be happy no matter whose bull is gored.

 Susan B. Anthony, one of the pioneers of woman's suffrage is most hopeful for the year 1899. Miss Anthony was born in Feb ruary, 1920, and is therefore very near her 18th birthday She is still very sharp in- tellectually, and is one of the best preserved women in the world in spite of her many years of work. To the women suffragists of this paper she sends her most hearty greeting, and begs them to join her in the wish she expresses for the year.
 Alice Stone Blackwell, who has persuaded more prominent men to join the suffrage movement than any other woman in the world, is pulling wires all along the line to secure general suffrage. Her wish for 1899

BOWRON.

Stone, and ono of the best known women suffragists, being the editor of two woman S suffrage journals, and lecturer of note, hopes to get several territories By getting a territory she means securing the right for women to vote in that territory. New Mexico is the most promising. then comes Oklahoma.
 The women suffragists look forward to Indiana as being the next state which will give the ballot to women. They are also very hopeful of New York, especially since Governor Theodore Roosevelt of that state advocates woman's suffrage.
 They do not necessarily ask for office for women, although there have been eight wo- men in the Colorado legislature, two in Idaho, two in Utah and fifteen women may ors in Kansas in the last fiften years Still the women suffragists make no point of holding office. They merely want, as Susan Burger Stearns expresses it, ito assist good men to elect other good men to offices"
 The United States is far behind England in these matters. Although it is considered more strong minded than England, the fact is that it is far behind.
 The greatest stride woman's suffrage has made for years was afforded during the

The women suffragists expect to carry the union their way during the coming year. They have fifteen states under persuasion, and hope at the beginning of the year 1900 to have taken them as far as possible.
 In order to carry woman's suffrage in a state 1t is necessary for the bill to pass two houses, and this takes two years. In 1898 all the states into which the bills had been introduced the previous year passed them in the second house, thus completing the work of establishing woman's suffrage. There is no state, now, in which the bill has passed half way. So in 1899 the women suffragists cannot hope to get whole new state but they can pass their bill through one house leaving 1t for 1900 to complete the work. This they will regard as a successful year.

The Right Remedy Will
 Banish it Forever.

If you would forever be rid of the aches and pains, and some- times the tortures produced by Rheumatism, you must take the right remedy. Those who con tinue to suffer are relying upon remedies which do not reach their trouble. The doctors treatment always consists of potash and mercury, which only intensity the disease, causing the joints to stiff en and the bones to ache, besides seriously impairing the digestive organs.
 Rheumatism is disordered state of the blood, and the only cure for it is a real blood remedy Swift's Specific (S. s. s. goes down to the very bottom of all diseases of the blood, and promptly cures cases that other remedies can not reach.
