Rules to Prevent Spread of Tubcrcu-
losis.

Philadelphia, April l5.The phlla-
delphia Medical Journal has translated
twenty-five rules summarized by the
tuberculosis commission during its re-
cent session at Munich. The Medical
journal regards the regulation for the
prevention Of the disease as embodied
IN these rules with so much favor that
it is urging that they should be print
ed in tract form for distribution broad
cast throughout the country. Those
considered the most important are the
following:
"Ihe periodic disinfection of all To-
calitics much frequented by the pub
lie especially schools. society rooms,
churches, cafes. restaurants, hotels.
orphanages, barracks, libraries, con
vents hospitals dispensares, stores,
tramway and railway cars and cabs,
The prohibition of splitting on the
floors in rooms and public convey
ances, the placing Of cuspidors In
parks and other public places and in
vehicles Of transportation,
The establishment of special play
grounds for children in order to avoid
their playing in localities which
phthisical patients might visit.
THE annual medical inspection OF
persons frequentIng schools, acade-
mics Offices, factories, etc.
The hygienic instruction Of the tu-
haI hg al n

in contact with them.
The establishment Of separate
bath houses for consumptives under
medical supervision.
The removal Of tuberculous in
diylduals from the schools and their
transfer to colonies in the country,
where they may be treated.
THE formation Of committees with
the object OF sending the children OF
poor persons that are suffering with
tuberculosis to the country in order
TO remove them from the infected
houses. The children OF rich families
should also be removed from their
homes for certain length Of time.
THE improvement OF the HYGIENE

ANOTHER DUKE COMES,
But This One Has Money and Is Al
ready Married

New York, April l3.--rhere is new
duke in town. He is the duke of New
castle, and aside from having the rep
utation of being the richest man OF
his rank IN England, he has the dis
tinction of being the brotherin-law OF
her who was once May lohe. and
married Lord Francis Hope. who is
next in line Of succession to the dukes
title. The duke is a patron at the
Waldorf Astoria, Newcastle, when a
child, was dropped from the arms of a
nurse When he fell one of his hips
was injured. and ii resulted in a per-
manent lameness, and causes the duke
TO use walking stick constantly In
other respects he is a very ordinary
appearing person, who would never at
tract second glance from casual
passerby, We're it not for his limp.
This peer of England has no distin-
gushing characteristic in his mental
makeup; he acts very much in his dali
ly routine as other mortals do The
duke is accompanied by couple of
fellow countrymen. The duchess is
not with him.
1t was the duchess who several
weeks after the marriage of May
Yohe and Lord Hope met the actress
on the street. She stopped her and
said
Are you the young person who
calls herself Lady Hope"
The actress looked her grace over
and replied:
NO, l am the lady who expects to
call herself the duchess of Newcastle
after awhile"
An endeavor to interview the duke
resulted in the following expressions
from him: II am here in this country
on personal business. will remain in
New York week. | will go to Wash
ington, where l will call on the presi-
dent and Sir Julian Pauncefote, after
which | will go to Louisiana on bust

Washington, April 1S.-There is no
longer any question that diplomatic
relations between the United States
and Turkey are in a critical state
growing out of the sultan'S bad faith
He promised to pay the indemnity
claims of American missionaries for
the destruction of eight buildings be-
longing to the missionaries at Marash
during the Armenian massacres of
1895. Mr.. Strauss, United States min
lister 20 Turkey, is at present in the
United States on leave of absence. He
presented his resignation, but the
president, regarding his services as in
dispensable, indefinitely extended his
leave subject to the call of the secre-
tary of state, whenever circumstances
might necessitate his return. Diplo-
macy appears to have exhausted itself
at Constantinople, the sultan having
promised to pay the indemnity claims
amounting to some 100000, which
promise he again renewed prior to
Strauss departure, and although six
teen months have elapsed since the
promise was first made, it still remains
unfulilled As the situation is crit
zeal, it may result in Secretary Hay
sending the Turkish minister at Wash
ington his passports. The question
involved between the two countries no
longer rests upon disputed points of
international law. but upon the sui

not given out. BY agreement no de-
cision was to be rendered if both men
We're on their feet at the end of six
rounds. Otherwise McGovern would
probably have received a decision as
he was on the aggressive from start to
finish, White keeping largely on the
defensive He at times took the
aggressive and jabDed McGovern
cleverly with the left.
In the second round McGovern landed
a hard right on Whites eye which
bied badly throughout the fight. In
the last round White landed jab after
jab on McGovern's face and uppercut
aim repeatedly with his right The
splendid showing. In the prelmna-
