TUBERCULOSIS.
Campaign to be wagod Against Further
Spread of Consumption.


Spread of Consumption.
From the Philadelphia Press.
To further the work OF stamping out
tuberculosis In Pennsylvania, the Free
Hospital for Poor Consumptives, which
has Its sanitsrium at White Haven,
hopes soon to open clinic In this city,
where poor victims OF the disease may
be treated, and which shall be center
for the distribution OF literature bearing
upon the prevention OF the disease.
The society hopes also, In the near
future, to have a hospital building
whore cases, not dying, but which are
too far advanced to be taken to White
Haven, may be cared for.
These two projects are part OF the
campsIgn against the spread OF con-
sumption, campaign which the Free
Hospital and the Pennsylvania Society
for the Prevention OF tuberculosis are
preparing to carry into every part OF
the state.
Dr. Lawrence F. Flick, president OF
the Free Hospital, said yesterday:
"There are probably 10000 cases OF
consumption In Pennsylvania today.
OF these two-thirds are too poor to pay
for proper treatment. We have ninety
beds at White Haven, but we have more
than one hundred patients ON the wait
ing list.
what we are particularly working
for now is registration. The Board OF
Health q year ago made an effort to
have tuberculosis placed upon the list
OF contagious diseases, but failed The
Board of Health can only learn where
the disease turks through the registra-
tion Of every case. The objects Of such
registration are: First, to give knowl-
edge and help to the consumptive and
his family for their protection and for
the protection Of the public; second, to
protect people against the danger Of
contaminated houses, Into which they
may lnnocently move.
"New York is ahead of us In this mat
ter OF registration, for In that city every
case must be made known. In Boston,
also, all premises that have been occu
pied by consumptives are disintected.
Such a compulsory arrangement in
Philadelphia would be q great step for
ward In the work OF stamping out the
disease.
"As far as private efforts go Pennsyl-
vania has accomplished more In this
work than any other state. Except for
the S5o,Ooo appropriated last year by
the legislature for the Free Hospital
for Poor Consumptlves, we have had no
government support, either in the way
or funds or legislation.
at costs between SO, 900 and S4 900
month to care for the patients we have
at White Haven. or this amount the
state gives about $1,000 and we are
compelled to look to the charity of
friends OF the Institution for the bal
apce,"
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-10-01

One of the district presidents who has
travelled through the three regions,
said yesterday that men everywhere
had told him they would never go into
the mines again unless the conditions
were revised. They will 60 elsewhere
and engage In other occupations, he
said, rather than work under the condi-
tions which prevailed In the anthracite
regions before the strike began.
BAER PREDICTS THE END.
After the meeting of the presidents OF
the anthrancite coal-carrying roads in
New York city yesterday, President
George F. Baer, of the Reading, gave
this In an interview regarding the strikes:
when will the strike end? Last
week l declined to make a prediction
when 1t will end, but l will make one
now. You can say that the strike will
end very soon. / won't say whether it
will be next week or the week after, but
1t will be very soon.
Amy way, 1t will be positively settled
before we have any signs OF really cold
weather. l do not wish to make any
reply to John Mitchell's statement.
Every one knows what the issues are,
and there is no use going over them.
II repeat that there will be no settle
ment or arbitration, but the strike will
be settled, as l have stated all along,
by the men going back to work"
The meeting of the railroad presidents
lasted more than two hours. Every
road was represented.
Vice President Loomis, OF the Lacka-
wanna Company, said that the end of
the strike was near. His conference
on Monday with miners formerly in the
company's employ had no effect what
ever; in fact, 1t tended to intensity the
situation, for the $50 men working at
the Cayuga mining coal quit yesterday,
leaving that place idle.
FIAsCo AT DRIFToN..
The much-heralded resumption at
Drfton took place this morning. Not
one new man reported for work, al
though special train with 142 coal and
iron police steamed into the town early
this morning. The deputies were placed
along all roads leading to the colliery,
but did not have the pleasure Of escort
ing a single individual to work. No
strikers were In evidence.
At 7 o'clock the breaker machinery
started, and up to noon the gunboat had
made thirty trips up and down the slope.
Seven OF these trips found the car load
ed, twenty-three times it was empty.
Several employees Of the outside de-
partment who were asked to assist in
the presumption" refused to do SO and
quit work.
The brlcklayers and stone masons
employed on the new boiler-h house at
No. l asked that the armed guards
around them be removed. The request
was refused and the men then stopped
work and came home.

A Catch Bet.

Turn round, and, with your back to the table, ask somebody to throw the dice. Then tell the person who threw them to double the number of the spots on the die on the left, and keep the number to himself. Tell him to add five, then multiply by five. To this fig ure have him add the number of spots on the die in the middle and multiply the product by ten. ass- s
 Then ask him to multiply the number of spots on the third die and give you the aggregate sum. From the amount subtract mentally 25O, and the remain der will show in the three figures the number of spots on each of the three dice For instance, take three dice. Their numbers are three, five and two. Double the one on the left-five plus five equals ten. Add five, equals if teen. Multiply by five, equals seventy i've Add the number of spots on the die in the middle, three, equals seventy eight. Multiply by ten, equals 7S0. Add number of spots on the third die, two, equals 7S2. Subtract 25O and 532 remains, which are numbers on the dice.

Why the Audience Laughed.

At public entertainment recently a conjurer had an experience which was highly comical, though quite disastrous from a professional point of view.
 Having produced an egg from a pre- viously empty bag, he announced that he would follow up this trick by bring ing from the bag the hen that laid the egg. This little arrangement he left to his confederate to carry out. He pro ceeded to draw the bird from the bag, but what was his surprise on finding that the alleged hen was an old rooster, which strutted about the stage with ruff1ed feathers and offended dignity and set up as vigorous growing as if it had just awakened from it's noctur- nal slumbers.
 The whole audience shrieked with laughter, and the unfortunate conjurer made bolt for the dressing room.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, December, 5, 1909.
 The report of the senate committee on territories, which recommended the ad- mission to the statehood of Oklahoma, to the exclusion of Arizona and New Mex leo, was severe disappointment to the friends of the aspirants to statehood and promises to result in 8 sharp fight on the floor of the senate. Senator Quay still speaks hopefully of the future of the bill as passed by the house, and there is rumor that he will endeavor to force his views by attempting to precipitate tar If fight if the three territories are not ad- mitted. When seen by your correspond ent however, he would neither deny nor affirm the statement. but said freely that he would regard 1t as a grave error of statesmanship if the republicans made themselves responsible for the defeat of the measure. &
 The New England senators are practi- cally unanimous in their opposition to the admission of Arizona and New Mex leo, and some of them favor the admis- sion of Oklahoma with Indian Territory added thereto, move which in the opin- ion of many, would insure the new state's electing democratic senator. It is, un- der the rules of the senate, so easy to talk bill to death, that the prospects of the passage of the territorial bill are not nearly as bright as they were short time ago.
 In the house, no important legislation has taken place unless the appropriation of $5O, ,O0O for the expenses of the anthra- cite coal strike commissioners be so re- garded. The greatest activity prevailsin the judiciary committee, however, where ali measuree- looking to anti-trust Iegfsfa- ton are being considered. As was to have been expected Representative Little field of Maine Is taking the lead in this respect, and looks to have his bill report ed favorably before the holiday recess. The subcommittee, to which the bill was first referred, has already reported it fla vorably. This bill provides that every corporation or similar institution doing an interstate business shall, through the interstate commerce commission, make
 public the details of its financial standing
 and impose a tax of per cent year or
 all capital stock outstanding and not fully
 paid, in cash or It's equivalent. The bill
 applies only to institutions with cap
 ital stock in excess of $500, 900, and i'm
 poses on the attorney general the duty o1
 enforcing the law in such cases of viola
 tion as are brought to his attention
 through the interstate commerce commis sion.
