MUSEUMS BILL
IN STILL ALIVE
It is Thought That There is
Still a Chance for Its
Passage

Washington, May Ex-senator PEN
rose was greatly incensed when shown
clipping from a Philadelphia paper
yesterday. in which he was represent
ed as saying that the adverse infu-
ence OF the Dun and Bradstreet COm-
mercial Agencies had killed the
Philadelphia Museums bill. and that he
had now but slight hope of favorable
action upon It. He was indignant to
find that representatives of the Dun
and Bradstreet agencies had resorted
to the publication of such a
misrepresentation Of his views in their
effort to create an unfayorable senti-
ment towards a measure which Is re-
garded all over the country as being
conducive 70 the extension Of foreign
trade
The senator says that the prospects
for the passage Of the bill at this ses-
sion of Congress are still good, and
that the only possibility of its failure
may lie In its being crowded out I'm
the last days of the session by more
pressing governmental measures. The
bill was reported with unanimous ap-
proval by the Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce of the House,
and a favorable report Of fifty pages
was recently presented TO the Senate
by Senator Penrose himself from the
Committee on Commerce Of that body.
COMMERCIAL AGENCIES DE
NOUNCED.
In this report will be found not only the
strongest commendatory letters from
leading manufacturers and producers
all over the country requesting the
passage Of the bill, but specific de-
nunciations of the adverse action of
the Dun and Bradstreet commercial
agencies The position of these agen-
cies is contrary to the best commercial
interests of the country. and their OBJ
ject is to restrain trade information
within the scope OF their own facilities
and to hamper the extension Of the
work OF an institution which has al
ready shown itself to be of the utmost
efficiency in promoting trade interests

KNIGHTS ATTEND
GRACE CHURCH
TempIarS in Fatigue Uniform
Participate in Ascension
Day Services

Attired in fatigue uniform and COM
manded by Past Commander J. parke
Postles, the members Of St. Johns
Commandery. No. 1, Knights Templar
attended Ascension Day services In
Grace NJ. h. Church last evening.
An appropriate and interesting SER
mon was preached by the Rev. VIII
liam Wirt King. ID. d.. pastor OF the
church, and a sir knight.
During the service the church quartet
sang excelelntly. its rendition of the
offertory Festival re Deum in E Fiat. %
by Dudley Buck, being much appreci-
ated. All read responsiyely Psalms
XIV and XVIII. The lesson was
from ST. Luke, xiv, 36-53, read by the
Rev. Dr. King.
DIR. King gave brief history OF the
founding of the Knights Templar as a
preface to his sermon.
while many Of those who are men,
bers OF this order disregard it's prin-
ciples by showing disregard for Christ
and His Cause he said, the order it,
self is the ardent supporter Of both.
and the enemy OF those who would de-
stroy them"
The speaker after describing the
scenes OF the ascension, observed that
skeptical men deem It folloy to
consider the ascension In defiance OF
all natural laws Of gravitation. "He
that made all law is able to ignore all
law, or control all law at all times. %
continued Dr. King. I'VE should lool,
on Christ as still the same. We are
not to think of Him as different from
when He was on the earth. I do not
wish TO say His ascension body is the
same He had before His death. But
He Is not dead. He has triumphed over
death. He still reigns and will reign
forever more"

The War on Con
sumptives.

Health has arbitrarily declared
consumption contagious, ranking
it with smallpox, yellow fever
and similar diseases.
The Board provides for the
isolation and disinfection of con-
sumptives, together with the
contiscation and destruction of
their personal property as d sus,
pected medium of contagion.
Physicians are ordered to re-
port all suspected cases of con-
sumption within thirty days,
failing which they are liable to
fine and Imprisonment.
This ARBITRARY action of the
Health Board makes no allow
ance for tle fact that the medical
profession does not believe that
consumption is contagious; or
for that other fact that there is
absolutely no evidence to support
such a sweeping declaration.
With egotism, unrivalled outside
of Russia or Germany, the Health
Board orders the profession to
assume that consumption is con-
tagious because it says so, and
to act on that assumption on pain
of punishment and disgrace.
The role of detective is not an
especially grateful one to physi-
clans, many of whom labor under
the impression that it is their
principal business to mitigate
suffering and make life more
tolerable to those who live under
the ban of disease.
As tor consumptives, it would
simplify matters for health bo lrds
to order them shot as soon AS
convicted, for the good of hu-
manlty,' and as they are to be
convicted as soon as suspect sd
coughing and splitting will soon
wear the color of crime. Doubt
less, the consumptlve will be as
well satisfied with this summary
disposition of himself, for what {

ON THE Rail.

How much will the saengerfest ex-
curslon wreck at De Pere cost the Chi
cago & Northwestern Railway COM
pany? That is a matter which has
been guessed at by great many peo-
pie since the fatal day, but estimates
made have only been guesses. Attaches
Of the road decline to discuss the
matter; in fact, they have nothing to
say with regard to the settlements
with victims and no one will know
what damages have been paid until the
persons who receive them state the
amounts. Railroad employees and Of
ficials don't talk about wrecks any
more than is absolutely necessary.
There is no doubt, however, that the
work of settlement has been taken up.
that the Northwestern claim agent and
his assistants have settled with TWEEN
ty-five of the Fond du Lac people who
were injured in the wreck at De Pere.
1t was impossible to learn the exact
amounts but it is understood that they
range from SIS to 5000 each. The set
Elements have been confined to those
not seriously injured, and it is under
stood from a Northwestern official
that no attempt will be made to settle
with those whose injuries are such that
they are confined to the hospitals or
their homes. In reference to the death
claims nothing can be done until ad-
ministrators are appointed, and that
will not be until the next term of
court as three weeks must elapse after
notice is given before such an appoint
ment is made. AS soon as administra-
tors are named the railway company
will meet them and talk over the set
Element. The law in this state fixes
the maximum figures to be collected in
case of death at $1,000 If the company
is liable, but even then there are sew
eral important things to be considered.
In conversation with a claim agent a
short time ago he stated that 1t must
be shown that the man killed could
have actually earned $4,000 during the
remainder of his life before he could
secure that amount. And again the
matter of being single or married fig
ures largely in the settlement.

Several railway companies in diff
ferent parts of the country have been
experimenting with the telephone in
handling trains. For some time the
Illinois Central has operated the
trains using the St. Charles Air line,
as the elevated structure in Sixteenth
street between the lake and the river
is called, by telephone messages in
stead of the telegraph and the usual
train dispatchers. The results of these
experiments have been highly salts
factory. Direct verbal communica-
ton is had between those directing
the movement of trains and those in
charge of the same. Where it is neces-
sary for the person receiving a mes
sage to write the same he may do so,
with the additional advantage that
he may repeat the dispatch verbally
to insure its correctness, thus obviat-
ing slips of the pen and other errors
that occur by the using of the old
method. Fhe Pennsylvania, which has
been one of the experimenting roads,
system on a large scale while the
Pennsylvania company is preparing to
install the telephone more deliberately
on the system, il has not been fully
decided just how far it will supplant
the telegraph" said an officer. There
are many advantages in the telephone
over the telegraph for short-distance
work. 1t is more simple and anybody
that can hear and speak can do the
work. 1t is quicker than the telegraph.
More orders may be sent and received
over telephone in FIVE minutes than
could be transmitted over a telegraph
line in half an hour" 1t is the prevail
ing opinion that the use of the tele-
phone on the Pennsylvania road will
be used first in the operation of the
block signals and afterward in the
dispatching Of train orders.
