she SPRUNG A LEAK,
The Steamer Sylvanus ]. Macy
Goes to the 9ottsm.
ENTIRE CREW PROBABLY DROWNED.


Detroit, Mich, Nov. 2S.--In furi-
GUS southwest gale on Lake Erie
Sunday night the steamer Sylvanus
j. Macy sprung leak off Port Bur-
well, Ont, and plunged to the bot
tom, probably carrying her entire
crew with her. The barge Mabel VIII
son, which was being towed by the
Macy, broke away from the steamer
in the darkness and succeeded in sail
ing up the lake to Amherstburg,
where she arrived yesterday after
noon.
The first news Of the disaster was
reported by J. J. Auterson, Of the
steamer Albright, which passed up
the river early yesterday morning.
She reported having passed through
five miles Of wreckage Tuesday 80
miles southwest of Long Point, parts
Of the cabin, life-preservers and
doors Of some vessel. The cabin was
painted white, but there were no dis
tinguishing marks to tell what YES
sci IL was from. The arrival Of tho
Wilson, however, leaves no doubt but
that the wreckage is from the Macy,
as the last seen Of that steamer was
in the near vicinity.
The Macy, with the Wilson in tow,
left Buffalo last Saturday with a
cargo Of coal. When half way up
Lake Erie the gale was encountered
and when abreast Of Port Burwell
the tow line Of the barge was thrown
of by the crew Of the Macy, leaving
tho schooner to shift for herself.
When last seen by the crew of the
Wilson tho Macy was laboring heavily
in the sea and was evidently making
for shelter. II the crew had time to
leave their ship before she plunged
to tho bottom II is not believed that
the small boats could have lived long
in the terrible sea running. That
nothing has been heard OF them has
convinced the owners that all are
lost. The Macy was owned by p. J.
Raup b Co., Of Detroit, and was In
sured for $4,000. She is one Of the
older type Of wooden steamers. She
552 tons. She was built

IS NOT A POLITICIAN.


Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 2s.-Booker
T. Washington has written a letter
to the Age-Herald, saying that sew
eral newspapers have recently con-
nected his name with political mat
tiers in such manner as to show
that his position is not understood.
He says his life work is the promo
ton and education Of the negro and
what conferences he has had with
the president and other officials have
grown out of his position, not as a
politician, but as an educator.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 2S.--The
bull fight was given at Convention

hurt, no bulls killed, no horses gored.
There was not drop of blood spilled

who have seen genuine bull fights
the imitation last night was a good

GROWTH OF VIENNA,
Boundaries of Austria's Capital to Be
Again Enlarged.

From the London Standard.
The boundaries of Vienna are to be again
widened and this time to such an extent
that the area of the Austrian capital will
be almost doubled, and will |be second to
that of London alone in Europe. Vienna,
though it is called the imperial city on the
Blue Danube, lies, as matter of fact, only
on the right bank of that river, which
forms it's boundary on the northwest A
large semi-crcle on the left bank embracing
the manufacturing town of FIoridsdorf and
eleven other places, with total area of I54
square kilometers, is now to be added to
Vienna, and will raise its area from 17S to
332 square kilOmeterS. The new districts
however, are so thinly populated that they
will add only $1,000 persons to the popula-
tion of Vienna. arising it to about 800 coo
The object of including so large a tract
chiefly rural in character, and much of it
liable to periodical floods, is connected with
the impending construction of the Danube
Oder canal, which will enter the Danube op-
posite the town and within the new district
1t is expected that it will create a large in
dustrial quarter there. The old bed Of the
Danube, through which the river used to
flow before it's canalization, will be convert
ed into docks and harbors. AS all the iowps
and villages concerned have signified their
readiness to fall in with the scheme, and
majority in the town is in favor of 1t,
there is little doubt that the project will
shortly be carried into effect, possibly in
the course of this summer.

of the disease, and an experience of eigh-
teen years in developing a sanitarium on
this plan has strengthened the confidence
OF those in charge of this mode of con-
structon, which represents an attempt at
segregation, separates patients as much as
possible from one another and affords each
individual so large air space as to make
II difficult, when rigid precaution as to the
care OF expectoratiOn are enforced for the
buildings to become contaminated. Be-
sides, IL affords patients regular walk to
and from their meals, which are served in
the main building. encourages them to lead
an outdoor life, and allows them to select
as companions those who are congenial to
them and to avoid unnecessary contact with
those who are not.
The cottages of the Adirondack SANTA
rum are one-story buildings, which accom-
modate from two to ten persons each, but
the greater number have a capacity for
four or five inmates, and these have been
found to be most satisfactory Each

customed to the weather.
Outdoors for All.
Besides warm clothing in winter, protec-
tiou from the wind is the only requisite for
this treatment, and a good shelter is OBJ
tanned by a single glass or wooden screen
placed on the exposed side only, the usual
glass-inclosed piazza being abominaton
never allowed. The outdoor method is ap-
piled to all patients. but the details of the
treatment, and, above all, the amount of
exercise allowed in carrying it out, are reg
ulated by the activity of the patients dis
ease, his nutritiVe condition, and more es-
peclaliy his temperature record. The in
firmary cases who may be suffering from
a progressive tuberculosis process and run
ming high temperatures, are carried out
doors daily, and kept there in a recumbent
position in bed or on a lounge the greater
part of the day. while those who have less
fever and are improving are allowed to sit
up In steamer chairs on the veranda and
to walk about the infirmary, but not to go
over to their meals in the main building un-
til their temperature record and improved
condition warrant it, when they are re-
turned to their cottages. In the class of
cases which is represented by the inmates
of the cottages, the temperature rarely goes
above a hundred in the afternoon, or they
are entirely free from fever. The former
are ordered to remain quiet out of doors
during the afternoon, when slight fever is
apt to occur, and to walk to their meals in
the main building, but not to go off the
grounds: while the no fever cases are gen
orally allowed, so long as they live out of
doors and obey rules, to go where they
please and, while under daily observa tion
to take as much exercise as their condition
seems to render permissible.

includes everything except laundry and
medicines. which are furnished at cost.
No charge is made for medical attendance
and there are no accommodations for pri-
Vate patients. The deficiency in the run
ming expenses is made up ca ch year by sub
scrfPtions. An attempt to place the institu-
tion on a firm financial basis has also been
made; and principally by personal appeal
an endowment fund of $175.O00 has been Sc
cured, which. il is hoped by bequests and
subscriptions may some day grow suffi-
ciently to assure the permanence of this
work for all time.
Carried on at a Loss.
There is a small free bed fund, the in
come Of which is applied to defray the ex-
penses of patients whose resources have
entirely given out. The sanitarium is in
cOrporated under the laws of the state of
New York, and is governed by board of
trustees.
The present average loss on zach to the
sanitarium is about $50, making an annual
shortage of about s1S0p9. This amount has
been contributed annually for number of
years through the influence of friends of
DR.. Trudtau and by personal subscriptions

Has Many Advantages.


The separation of those who are falling
rapidly or are acutely sick, from the COM
paratiyely well, not only furnishes the for
mer with the constant and necessary at
tention and nursing which they require,
but withdraws them from the daily obser-
walton of their more fortunate cottage
mates and prevents in these the depres-
sion which would otherwise occur from
the contact with the very sick. The sue
cess of this plan is attested by the gen.

In addition to raising funds to cover the
annual deficit, an effort is making toward
the completion of the endowment fund
which it IS desired should reach the sum OF
100000 AS stated $4,000 of this amount
is in hand. but its growth is slow
The interest of the fund is allowed to
accumulate, so great is its Importance con-

there have been but three bequests to the

Of the results of the work much could be
said. Patients usually remain for term of
six months, though longer stay is some
times considered desirable. Many who have
entered the sanitarium with hearts bowed
down have left with restored health, while
practically all leave greatly improved and
with the disease arrested.
