FACTS ABOUT CANCER.
Paris Authority Declares That There
Has Been No Increase in Vic
tins of the Disease.

The impression has gained ground
among medical men that in England and
some parts of America cancer was in
creasing more rapidly than popula-
ton. DR.. Roswell Park, of Buffalo,
who has made special study of the
subject. expressed the opinion few
years ago that there was percep-
tible, if not alarming, growth in the
mortality from this cause in New
York state. He did not speak for the
rest of this country or for Europe,
though.
In a recent number of a prominent
medical weekly published in Paris,
Prof. r. de BOWS takes somewhat
more hopeful view than other eX-
perts do. He is skeptical as to any
increase in frequency. He also de-
MES that cancer attacks more women
than men. When all ages are fully
considered. he thinks that the two
sexes are affected about equally. Still
nanother theory which he antagonizes
is that the percentage of mortality is
greater in cities than in the rural dis
tricts. He points out two important
sources of error in this matter. Sta
tistics are not collected so carefully
in the country as in the city. and many
leases which originate in the former
are sent to the city, where the vict inns
die. The deaths are then credited to
the wrong locality.
As for the organs in which cancer
most often appears, he says that its
frequency in the lower eNtremities of
the intestinal canal remains about I'M
changed, while in the breast it is on
the decrease. Cancer of the mouth
and upper air passages seems to be
increasing slightly, while cancer of
the extremities has decreased. The
chief increase in the number of cases
appears to be due to the increase of
Icancerous visceral affections, and this
increase, shown in tables, is probably
more apparent than real. He states

apparently perfectly practicable. The
wonder is that it had not occurred to
engineers before.
They maintain that if it was possible
to carry structural steel and masonry
through the silt of the banks of the
East river To primeval granite, so that
Il substantial foundation for the new
suspension bridge could be obtained,
there seems to be no reason why
Mr.. Jacobs cannot erect solid columns
of masonry and steel upon the rock
that is fifty feet below the silt which
is the bed of the Hudson, and upon
these pillars construct the framework
upon which will securely rest the mas
sive steel tubing through which the
trains of the Pennsylvania will be
hauled by electricity.
The tunnel under the East river will
consist of four tubes, which are to be
laid. not upon bridge foundation, but
upon the solid rock. There experiment
has already been made. y gigantic
tube of that kind has been placed upon
the East river rock bed furnishing
communication between Manhattan
and Brooklyn boroughs, although not
for passenger traffic.
The wonders of electricity are to be
eXemplified not only in the operation
of this system, but also in the con
struction of it. BY means of it and its
first cousin, compressed air, it is eX-
pected that this gigantic plant can be
constructed within three years. The
! little ten mile railroad-lttle only in
length-which the New Haven and the
Pennsylvania are to build between
Bronx borough and Long Island City,
must be completed by the spring of
1904.
Already the Pennsylvania corpora
ton has expended about SS,000,0O0 in
the purchase of real estate in New
York and Brooklyn, and before the
tunnel is in working order it will have
spent, at a low estimate, fully $4,000
900.
A. j. Cassatt, who has been president
Of the Pennsylvania corporation since
1899, is anxious to complete the vast
undertaking with all possible speed.
Mr.. Cassatt has been with the road
/ since 1861, when he entered its service
as a rodsman. He is wealthy and lives
in Philadelphia. He is sixty-three
years old.

emphatlcally tnat there has not been
n great deal of increase in this disease
in the last few years; nor does he be
lieve that the theory advanced that
carcinoma attacks patients earlier in
life than heretofore is founded on fact
The contrary opinion has been CON
clusively proven. The age of maxi
mum frequency of cancer appears to
be, in round numbers, 20 years for
males and - years for females He
reviews the influence of race. and
states that there seems to he n some
what less receptivity on the part Of
the southern races than those of the
northern, but the exact measure of
this receptivity cannot be determined
yet.

which included the manufacturers Of
70 per cent of the entire steel rod and
wire products of the United States. The
success of this enterprise encouraged
him to proceed to the greater work of
organizing steel company which
should control the output of steel rails,
electric motors pig iron and other prod
ucts of iron mines. His theory was
that by owning mines, manufactures
and means OF transportation the work
of the company could be more efficient
ing these several departments in the
hands of separate companies. This was
accomplished by the formation of the
Federal Steel company.
While Mr. Gary's law Offices were in
Chicago, he lived in Wheaton, which is
practically a suburb Of the great city.
He acquired his title of judge from
being twice elected to preside over the
county court of Du Page county. 1t
was only last year that the finest me-
mortal church in American MethOdism
was dedicated at Wheaton. 1t was
erected by Judge Gary to the memory
of his parents. 1t cost more than $780,
600.
In personal appearance the steel mag
nate is a strongly built man, who car
ries his ffty-sfX years easily. His head
and face are somewhat suggestive of
Bismarck, with n quiet dignity that
COMFORTS with his grave and practical
speech His head is slightly bald, and
the square jaw, firm set mouth and
powerful chin indicate force and com
mand. He has the blunt directness of
the western lawyer and virile tenn
permanent From his entrance into the
arena of business life he has displayed
qualities that made him known as a
man who could not be discouraged by
obstacles.
Judge Gary was married in 1869 to
Miss Julia f. Graves of Aurora, Ill.
They have two daughters. one of whom
is the wife of Mr.. IL. w. Sutclffe Of
Denver. The other lives with her par
ents.

Personality of the Man who Has
Attracted Attention by Declaring
Tint MonopoIies Are Wrong and
Trusts Beneficial.
Mr.. Ebert II. Gary is chairman of
the executive committee of the United
States Steel corporation. He is the
real head of that great industrial or
ganization. Through a recent widely
published interview, in which he took
the somewhat surprising position that
while monopolies are all wrong and
utterly indefensibe trusts are highly
beneficial concerns, Mr.. Gary has been
| brought into more or less prominence.
His ideas seem to have been generally
accepted as interesting even if unique.
Unlike many of this country's sue
: cessful men, Mr.. Gary was not com
PEELED to struggle against poverty in
his youth. His father, Erastus Gary,
was wealthy landowner in Du Page
county, H., and there the future trust
defender and foe of monopoly first saw
the light of day in 1916.
Until 1898 Mr.. Gary made his home
at Wheaton, ILL.,, his native town, when
on his election as president of the Fed
eral Steel company he removed to New
York.
1t was Mr.. Gary who organized the
Federal Steel company, and it was his
brain more than any other which united
the fifteen great companies which form
the United States Steel corporation,
with its stock and bond capitalization
of 1892, 80 300, the most stupendous
and farreaching financial creation of
human ingenuity. Today he is the real
director of its policies and activities,
one of the foremost captains of indus.
try.
The advantages of wealth made Mr..
Gary's youthful pathway smooth. He
received a liberal education in the COM
mon schools and ut college. He studied
law with prominent firm of attorneys
for two years before entering the Union
Law college of Chicago. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1861 but did not
begin practice on his own account until
1870. The three years interim was
spent as deputy clerk of the superior
court of Cook county, Ill.
Early in his legal career Mr.. Gary
devoted himself to a study of the law
affecting corporations. He became the
general counsel for a number of rail-
roads bonding and trust companies
and, among others. the American Steel
and Wire company and the Illinois
Steel company.
Mr.. Gary's talents as an organizer
