The Cancer Mystery.
From the New York Times.


Those who are looking to the results Of
special Investigations now in progress in
Europe in the hope that they will solve the
dread mystery of the cancer have not much
to encourage them in what has already
been accomplished. In England the Mid
dlesex Hospital has a fine record for prac,.
teal charity In making as comfortable as
possible the last days OF those who have
passed beyond hope Of relief from surgery,
but its clinical researches have unfortu-
nately contributed very little to thu sum Of
human knowledge concerning this malady.
During the century of it's existence there
has been considerable extension OF knowI-
edge respecting the nature and structure of
the morbid conditions collectively termed
cancer, but that is practically all.
Paset and Virchow, by exact pathological
work, laid the basis for scientific study
Of the structures themselves while the sta
tistical work in various countries notably
in England, has rendered 1t possible to
formulate some tentative conclusions with
its geographical distribution. The micro
scope has revealed the fact that cancerous
tissues are composed Of the same elements
as normal tissues, but why these normal
tissues grow In an abnormal way and in abb
normal places is as much mystery as ever
The work of the research laboratories Of
the Middlesex Hospital consists chiefly in
the refutation of theories which have been
advanced to explain the phenomena of can
Ger. This has Its value, no doubt, but it is
really very little in proportion to that which
would attach to one affirmative demonstra-
ton. The net conclusion to be drawn from
TINS mass OF Data is that everything per-
tanning to the cancer is abnormal and that
IN no case can any single examination b.
found to show any special characteristic
that can be regarded as specific or of the
slightest diagnostic value"

more racers that are being trained to par

STREET CAR CUSTOMS.
Etiquette Of the Rail as Practiced in
Boston.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
To a woman standing the other day in a
4th-avenue car. incumbered with a satchel,
shawl strap and an umbrella, approach
ed the conductor, imperatively demanding
fare Whereupon the woman calmly re-
piled: Il will pay you IL you will stop tho
car" Say, you're from Boston, 1 guess"
remarked the conductor To which the dame
from the Hub proudly responded: II GER

Tor on the open car five sitting passengers
and no standees' are allowed to each

may ride on the foot-boards, both sides of
the car being open. and men and women
n, may STAND on the rear platform. 1t is real

ROCKVILLE AND VICINITY.
General and Personal News From
Montgomery County's Capital.


ROCKVILLE, Md, September %, 1902.
The thirty-two officers Of registration for
this county appeared before the supervisors
of election here yesterday, and were given
the registration books and other necessary
material pertaining to their duties The sit
tings of the registration officers will be from
S o'clock am. until o'clock pm. The
republicans are showing unusual activity in
regard to the registration, and the demo-
Gratis are also active.
General George H. Harries, vice presi-
dent Of the Washington Traction Company,
and Mr.. w. H. Fuller of the same corpora
ton recently went over the route of the
proposed electric road from Laurel to
Brookeville, by the way of Sandy Spring
Both expressed satisfaction at the prospect
of a road through Montgomery county at
an early date. 1t is understood that all the
promoters Of the enterprise ask for is the
assurance of the patronage of the residents
along the proposed route. Heretofore the
community has been asked to provide a
free right of way, in addition to guaran-
teeing a certain sum of money.
Mr.. Charles Arthur Bell of Milnesville. Va,
and Miss Beulah Lee Madison of Stonewall,
in the same state. were married here Fri
day evening, the ceremony being the culmi
nation of an interesting elopement. The
young lady is just sixteen years and four
months old, and because of her extreme
youth her parents had interposed objections
to her entertaining matrimonial ideas. The
young lovers had set their hearts upon get
ting married at once, and would not become
reconciled to any change in their plans.
They, however, kept their own counsel, and
only awahed a favorable opportunity to
steal away. Wednesday furnished an aus
picious moment and they grasped the
chance and quietly slipped away.
They did not reach Rockville until after
the clerks office had closed, but they sought
the home of the clerk of the circuit court
Thomas Dawson, and that gentleman will
ingly accompanied them to his Office and
issued the necessary license. They were
then directed to the home of Rev. G. Dor
sey White. pastor of the M. E. Church
South, by whom the nuptial knot was finally
securely tied. Notwithstanding their trying
and embarrassing experiences the young
folks seemed to be in excellence spirits and
left for Washington shortly after the GER
emory.
Mrs w. P. Hill, daughter of Mr.. Hez-
ekiah Trail OF this town, who has been ex-
tremely i'll at San Antonio, Tex, is grad
ually improving, and her complete recov-
cry is now regarded as only matter of a
short while.
Unusual interest is being manifested in
the annual exhibition of the Montgomery
County Agricultural Society, to be held here
beginning October and continuing four
days. The managers are counting on un-
usually fine exhibits In the various depart
ments, and the race committee gives as
surances that the new track will attract an
abundance Of high-class horses and that
fine speed contests are a certainty.
AS is usually the case just preceding the
annual fair. the race track at the fair

THE COAL QUESTION
Public Right Superior to That
of Mine Owners.
REMEDY OF CITIZENS
SITUATION DISCUSSED BY He
MAN w. CHAPLIN.
Operators Liable Under Law - Means
of Redress Suggested - Receiver
ship for Anthracite Companies.

A pamphlet. entitled The Coal Mines and
the Public" and dealing with the legal
status OF the anthracite coal strike, has
been written by Mr.. Heman w. Chaplin,
the well known Boston attorney and a rec
ognized expert on questions affecting the
public and the trusts
Mr.. Chaplins article is a far more ex-
haustive consideration Of the strike prob
lem than Carroll d. Wrights report. mas
much 1t deals with the rights of the pub
lie In the matter. and sets forth in no un-
certain language the remedy which the pub
lie has at Its hand. While he does not en-
ter directly into the merits of the present
controversy between operators and miners,
Mr. Chaplin evidently constructs the report
Of Commissioner Wright leaning some
what in favor OF the miners. His special
aim, however. has been to point out. in
clear legal terms. what he considers to be
the proper remedy for the present unfor-
tunate state OF affairs.
This he conceives to be the making Of On
application for a receivership for the coal
mining properties. either at the instance or
VI suit brought by the aggrieved consume RS
themselves or through proceedings by pub
lie law officers. The excuse for such an ap-
nlfcation would be that the mine operators
are unable or unwilling to provide the pub
lie with a certain necessary OF life, pro-
duct In which the public has inherent
rights, even though the coal mining prop
critics are owned by private corporations.
Suggested Act Of Congress.
Mr.. Chaplin goes even further than this,
and suggests that an act be. passed by Con-
gress fixing a maximum price for coal. its
authority for doing this being the fact that
the great bulk of the coal trade is inter-
state commerce. The writer furthermore
offers the suggestion that the public. having
been subjected to grave expense and dam

Chicago Elevator Case Cited.
In contending that these principles are
not limited in modern life to the specific
forms Of application of them which were
made by the early law, but are capable Of
being applied to new conditions in modern
society. Mr.. Chaplin cites the famous Chi
of illinois, decided in favor of the state by
the Supreme Court Of the United States in
1876.
By this decision it was held that the
state had the right to regulate the bust
ness of public elevator concerns by obliging
them to take out license, to give a suit
able bond and to charge not more than a
certain maximum rate for storage.
The principle underlying this decision is
continuously applied by Mr.. Chaplin to the
present deadlock in the coal regions
throughout the forty or more following
pages of the pamphlet
He especially emphasizes the fact that
when one becomes a. member of society.
he necessarily parts with some rights or
privileges which, as an individual not af-
fected by his relations to others, he might
retain" The public have no power to con-
troll rights which arerffpurely and excu-
sively private" butt has the power to re-
quire each citizen ste 80 conduct himself,
and so use his own property, as not I'M

In concluding Misrepresentation Mr.. Chap
lin says: eS sa
"At time when fear Is so generally ex-
pressed In respect TO- the powerlessness Of
present or possible future laws to protect
the public and isolated individuals against
immoderately large combinations of capt.
tai. it is a matter m satisfaction to realize
that these apprehepsiohs are groundless;
that the common law of England, as 1t
exists in this county, Is heritage Of prin-
ctples and remedies not only available for
situations of the past, but Of such breadth
and vitality as to lend itself instantly to
the most marked and intricate develop
ments of modern life; that 1t is within the
power of the people Of the country, acting
whole through Congress or of the
people Of any state OF the Union. to invoke
these principles: that any individual or
group Of individuals agreeing may them
selves invoke them; and that under the
generous protecting breadth of those prin-
clples, convenient and specific and directly
operative applications of them may be made
by statute whenever the people desire that
such statutes shall be passed.
