Cancer Cured by violets.

New York. Nov. 16-According to
the London representative of the Jour
nal and Advertiser the Onlooker con-
tains an account of n most remarkable
cure of cancer. which medical circles
are eagerly discussing. 1t says the
cure was discovered through the case
of Lady Margaret Masham, sister of
the Earl of Romney. Lady Margaret
became so ill that her throat nearly
closed. nourishment had to be admin
istered artifcially. and her death was
expected in about Il week, when a
friend prescribed the use of fresh green
violets. The suggestion was followed.
Relief was immediate. The large, hard
external tumor disappeared and in a
week all pain had ceased and the can
cerous growth in the tonsil disappeared
in = fortnight.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR
DENOUNCE COMBINES

Indianapolis. Ind, Nov. 16.-At the
general assembly of the Knights of La
Dor yesterday the report of the com
mittee on legislation was submitted.
1t says the evolution now taking place
in the industrial field through the rap
id concentration of capital has filled
the working classes with alarm for the
future welfare of the country, and de-
clares that 1t is time to call halt on
municipal. state and national lesisla-
ton in granting further privileges,
which go to fatten already large pri-
vate fortunes.
Resolutions submitted with the re
port demand from Congress such lesis-
lation "as Will provide for the utmost
publicity of the affairs of all corpora
tions conducting an interstate busi-
ness
Such laws are demanded as will
prevent the capitalization of any cor
poration above the amount of money
actually invested, whether said invest
ment be in cash or plant
The resolutions also declare that
Congress has no right to tax all the
people for the benefit of n few, and
that whenever government aid Is ex-
tended to private corporations it means
robbery of the whole people"
The assembly devoted most OF its
afternoon session to consideration of
n resolution introduced Wednesday by
n seaboard delegate denOuncing the
Frye-H e-Hanna-P Payne subsidy bill now
pending in the United States Senate.
II was bitterly opposed by six mem
bers. including y. ID. Chamberlain of
Colorado. and was referred 10 a COM
mittee on legislation. who reported it
back within an hour unchanged, when
it was adopted by an almost unanim-
Gus vote. 1t is as follows:
Resolved; That the development of
the American merchant marine is
greatly desired: that we believe that
American freights ought to be carried
in American bottoms, built in Ameri-
can shipyards by American mechanics
at wages commensurate with the
American standard of living.
Resolved; That the present bill
pending in the United States Senate
known as the Frye-Hanna-P Payne sub
sidy bill, is not drawn in the interests

Fort Worth. Texas. Nov. lG.-The
tweniy-eiChth annual convention of
the w. C. T. L. began its sessions here
yesterday. President Lillian NJ. n
Stevens was in the chair. The roll call
disclosed the presence of delegates
from all states and territories, and
from Cuba. Great Britain, Switzerland
Mexico and Hawaii. President Ste
yens spoke in part as follows:
ours is land and ours is a nation
where there should be no hatred of
rule: where there should be no such
experiences as have come to US thrice
within four decades. One of the chief
sources of anarchy in our country is
without doubt the un-American liquor
business, for the saloons are the
schools of lawlessness. Because we
are patriots, IL for no other reason.
we should work for the overthrow of
the saloon and the saloon power and
for the extermination of the liquor
traffic
While the year has had its sorrows
and disappointments. it also has had
its joys and its victories. Among the
temperance victories of the past year
we gratefully record the action of the
Senate in ratifyins the treaty for the
protection of the African races. and we
are reliably told that for twenty months
neither the Beers nor English in South
Africa have allowed liquors to officers
or men. The good effect of Englands
policy in discouraging the use of
liquor in the army is being felt, and
we have reason to believe that the
soldier boys do not feel defrauded.
The French minister of war has sent
message to every commandant of an
army corps, prohibiting the sale of
liquor with an alcoholic basis in bar
racks, canteen, in camp or field. and
moreover, provision is made for lee
lures before the troops on the effects
and dangers of alcoholism.
Even Russia has n governmental
commission which recommends the

Washington. -Nov 16.-It was an
nounced at the War Department yes
terday that the names of the officers
to I'LL the vacancies in the grade of
brigadier general will not be an
nounced until Congress meets. as it is
not deemed desirable TO make ad in
terim appointments. In addition TO
this statement, and in view of the
great pressure that has been brought
to bear. it has been deemed proper to
make the following official declaration
The secretary of war and the Pres
ident have had informal discussions on
army matters on several occasions. and
it is understood that the President has
expressed himself most positively on
the use of political and social influence
by officers for the purpose of obtain
ing changes of stations, leaves of abb
sence, notifications of orders, etc OF
course, it is understood that officers
often deem il necessary to have atten-
ton called TO their cases by political
friends for appointments. especially
cases of young volunteer officers who
recently have been appointed. 1t Is
safe to say. however, that at no pc
riod in the history of our government
has the matter OF record been used to

ent reorganization of the army, when
the greatest possible care has been
taken in the selection of persons for
appointment TO the reorganized army.
THE President has not hesitated TO
inform senators and others who have
applied 10 him that no officer Will
improve his chances by sending his
friends to annoy the President in his
behalf on the contrary, the effect
which will be produced probably will
be directly opposite to that which the
candidate hopes for. Several senators

PROGRESS OF TEMPERANCE

endeavoring TO strengthen the efdci-

use of alcoholics.
In view of all this and much more,
1t Is not at all strange that the Con
gress of the United States decided that
the army saloon in this country must
be abolished. Bur evidently there is
concerted plan on the part OF the
anti-temperance forces to try TO prove
that the law is productive OF EVIL re-
suits, an increase OF drunkenness. de-
sertions. riots. etc. and testimony ga
lore to this end is being gathered and
given TO the public. Meanwhile the
temperance societies. ministers asso-
Citations and others are likewise secur-
ing testimony of an entirely opposite
character.

In Mayor Hart's inaugural address of
January. 1900, the most important re-
Quirement for the Boston public
schools was pronounced to be that of
additional school Accommodations. ="
Since that time a special Boston

created. with authority to spend ST.
600 600 for new scf,pol houses the pres
ent year and s3.0OODOO more within

proposes to spend this money for the
best sanitary buildings that skill can
devise" but as a means of providing
temporary relief it has built forty
three portable school houses of a type

Juliet's What's in a name!" might
