DEVELOPMENT OF CULTURES
Health CommissiOner Ralph IL Per-
fectinS Arrangements for Lab
OrntOry Work.

Health Commissioner Ralph is now per-
fecting arrangements for laboratory devel-
opment OF cultures from supposed cases OF
diphtheria and will probably have his plan
in operation before January 1. DR.. Ralph
has been trying for a long time to secure
a laboratory for the use of his department
and in his annual report to the mayor and
city council, which is now being prepared,
he will earnestly urge that such facilities
be afforded mis- department, but In the mean
time he has found a means whereby the
development OF diphtheria cultures may be
secured at comparatively small expense to
the city. One of the medical colleges has
agreed to conduct the laboratory work, and
the physicians will be furnished with con-
veniences for the collection of the cultures
and will be encouraged by the department
in that work.
DR.. Ralph has selected a number OF drug
stores in different parts OF the city. and
as far as is possible covering the entire
city, where physicians may upon applica-
tion be furnished with the glass tubes and
other conveniences required in gathering
cultures. These tubes will be furnished
at the expense OF the city and when re-
turned to the health department by ply
sicians will be sent to the laboratory for
the development Of the cultures.

PLENTY OF WYOMING COAL
state Mine Inspector Does Not Under

Mayor Moores received a call yesterday
morning from Noah Young. state min in
spector Of Wyoming. and DIR. F. G. Rugg
Of Glen Rock. Wyo. DR., .Rugg is on his
way to New York for the purpose OF TAX
ing a post graduate course, but Mr.. Young
will remain in the city for a few days on
business, partly of an official character.
Speaking Of the present scarcity Of Rock
Springs coal in this vicinity, Mr.. Young
said that he was at a loss to account for
It, as there has been more coal mined this
year by a half million tons than any previ-
Gus year. There has been, he says, In the
Ave years OF his incumbency as mine in
spector. an increase Of 1000 900 tons in tho
output Of the Rock Springs mines, the
production of the past year having been
5000. 900 tons.

A recommend recently received from a

as follows;
A Prominent Mother Superior Says;

ehiciency OF Peruna as one of the very
best medicines, and II gives me pleasure
to add my praise to that OF thousands who
have used II. For years I suffered with
catarrh Of the stomach, all remedies prov
ing valueless for relief. Last spring I
went to Colorado. hoping to be benefited
by a change OF climate and while there
a friend advised me to try Peruna. After
using two bottles l found myself very much
improved. The remains Of my old disease
being now so slight, I consider myself
cured, yet for a while I intend TO continue
the use OF Peruna. I am now treating
another patient with your medicine. She
has been sick with malaria and troubled
with leucorrhoea. / have no doubt that
a cure will be speedily effected"

THE PENSION LIST.

THE GENEROSITY OF the republic
L toward It's defenders is <exempli-
ned in the simple statement, taken
from the annual report OF Pension
Commissioner Ware. that the United
states has paid out in pensions the
vast sum OF s.. 1905. S54. S02. This. OF
course. includes all the wars, from
the revolution to the war with Spain
and the Philippine instruction. Com
pared with IL. the earnings OF the great
est Of the trusts seem Insignificant.
There Is food for thought in the long
list OF names on the pension rolls. Ac-
cording 10 Mr.. Wares report. 9s9. 4f6
individuals are drawing gratuities from
the government. OF this number, 49,
800 are ex-soldiers and go. 6S7 are Wild
ows or dependents. II is not at all
probable that more than 100000 names
have been added up TO date as a result
OF the Spanish and Philippine wars, so
that SIS, 900 OF the men who fought in
the civil war are pensioners.
This great multitude would seem TO
contain every survivor OF, the blue
hosts who saved the nation from dis
memberment. but IL does not. Dur
Ing the fiscal year covered by the COM
missloner's report. reports were re-
celved Of the death Of bO.l2S veterans,
but OF that number only 27045 or
slightly more than so per cent. were
pensioners. Every year since the sur
render OF Lee at Appomattox has
shown an increase in the number Of
pensions allowed. II was thought that
this year the total would be 100000
Or over. but that figure was not
reached.
That very considerable number Of
these pensions are being drawn by un-
worthy recipients there is no real rea-
son for doubt. II surely cannot be
true that. in addition TO the thousands
OF old soldiers who have never applied
for pensions. there are 6sS.O00 Of them
who were so disabled that they cannot
exist without bounty from their gov
eminent. Careless framing of pension
laws and lax enforcement Of those on
the books have been responsible for
much fraud In securing the allowance

sioners is made up OF honest men and
