A TUBERCULOSIS CONGRESS.

At the second annual American Con-
gress of tuberculosis, which held its
opening session in New York Thurs
day, some startling statements and
figures were offered, which are thus
summarized:
Fourteen thousand persons die of con-
sumption yearly in New York State alone.
Seventy -four per cent. of these could be
saved if competent physicians took charge
of the patients in the early stages of the
disease.
1t is the only disease which causes a
man to die because he is poor
Free State sanitariums should be es-
tablished for consumptives without means.
Doctors should not try to prolong the
lives of hopeless consumptives Means
should be employed to make the patient
comfortable even if they should have a
tendency to shorten life.
Consumption causes more deaths than
all other diseases combined.
The immediate objects of the Con-
gress are, first, to secure the best
method for checking the spread of con-
sumption, and, second, legislation that
will put the method decided upon in
operation. Free State sanitariums for
consumptives is one of the measures
most generally favored by the dele
gates.
Clark Bell, OF the Medico-Lega So
ciety, of New York, in his address of
walcOma said. ssrTba cphio-,t 1,,o have
met ito discuss is one of the most pro-
found importance in modern forensic
medicine. The simple statement of the
known fact that this fearful disease
causes the death of more persons than
all other diseases combined is enough
to demonstrate the import of this SUBJ
ject."
One of the most interesting papers
read was by Dr. C. F. Ulrich of Wheel
ing, which created something of a SEN
sation:
I'm regard to confirmed consumptives,
who have passed the years of childhood.
and for whom there is no hope of recov-
cry, / am going to say something that
may be stlgmatized as unfeeling and cruel.
But, on the principle of the greatest good
TO the greatest number, l regard the idea
as humane.
What | wish to suggest is this: In ev-
cry case of confirmed and hopeless tuber-
culosis, desist from all efforts to proleng
life, devoting your entire energy to max
ing your patient as comfortable as posi-
HI tha el,o
have tendency to shorten life
For, If you lengthen out the span a
miserable existence, permitting the I'M
happy being to marry and send out into
the world an infected progeny to increase
the aggregate of suffering in geometrical
progression until the earth is filed with
pale, emaciated, unhappy, useless men
and women, do you feel that you have ac-
complished humanitarian work?''

WHEELING SHOULD REPORT.

The Insurance Press publishes a list
of cities from which the National Board
of Fire Underwriters has been unable to
get reports wherein to base its statis-
tics In this list is Wheeling AS the
Insurance Press says, the National
Board of Fire Underwriters takes pains
and incurs expense to compile the fire
statistics of cities, in order that the
question of fire losses may be studied,
in the public interest Although the
reports of fire departments do not af-
ford the basis on which fire insurance
rates are calculated, the returns the
board asks for are full of suggestive
material and probably have some infiu-
ence on managers of insurance compan-
les in the matter of opening local Offices.
After giving the list of cities, which
failed to report, of which Wheeling. as
stated, is one, our contemporary says:
AS rule one may say of each city
named There is place wher, the chief
of the fire department is negligent or
lazy"
This criticism is decidedly unjust at
least so far as Wheeling is concerned,
although the required reports should
certainly be supplied, not only in the
interest of the public generally, but par
ticularly of this city, whose fire losses
are wonderfully small. This fact gives
the lie to our contemporary criticism
as applied to our fire chief, and
shows on the contrary the great efic-

BISHOP MALLAL1EU ON GOLF.

At recent meeting of the Evangel-
ical Alliance of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church in Boston, Bishop MALTA
lieu, of Massachusetts, denounced golf
as silly game fitted for no one but
children. In later interview he re-
peated the assertion and added
1T is simply nothing more than fad.
We have had fads before and will continue
to have them in the future.
What is more foolish and silly than to
see a man take up a club and whack a
little round ball to see if he can place it
in a little hole out in the field somewhere?
Il know that some of the clergy play
golf and, to all appearances they seem
to enjoy themselves. In fact, a clergyman
asked me if I had ever batted a ball and
why l was so opposed to golf.
Il told him that 1 had never played the
game, but thought 1 could hit the ball all
right. And I did give that little ball a
good blow and put it nearly out of sight
Then he told me he thought I could not
do it again. 1 for the second time hit it
out of sight
And 1T was plainly evident that the
Bishop, Notwithstanding his structures
on the game, was proud OF his feat, al
though he protested: ITO me there was
no possible recreation, straining my
eyes, simply to see that little ball cir
cling through the air.
1t is quite apparent that a champion
golfer was spoiled in Rev. Mr.. MALTA
lieu to make inicky and rather
mediocre bishop

THE SABBATH AND THE FAIR.

The Sabbattarians have taken a new
tack against the Sunday opening of the
Pan-American Exposition since their
defeat in the board of directors, who
sanely declined to shut up the grounds
of the grand educational exhibition on
the only day of leisure that most peo-
pie have. The Sabbattarans are now
trying to remove the Police Commits
sioners OF Buffalo for conserving to
dissertation of the Sabbath by per-
uniting the men engaged on the
grounds to attend to their business on
Sundays.
There is small chance of their sue
ceeding. AS the New York HERALD re-
marks, at would be quite as reason
able to close the churches because the
care-takers and men who look after the
furnaces must be in attendance on Sun
day. In the twentieth century i.
should be needless to expatiate on the
moral effects of opening libraries.
museums, exhibitions or other educa-
tional institutions to the people or
Sunday. That well-to-do persons who
can visit the exposition six days in the
week should seek to close it on the
only day that is available to the work
ing masses, and thus virtually exclude
them altogether is piece Of gross in
Justice"
The Sabbattarians, however, do not
look at the matter from standpoint
but misguided and are not to be rea
soned with. The best plan is to disre-
gard them.
