BOSTON SHUT UP TIGHT.
Druggists Have Collins and Grape
Signs About the Blue Laws

A dispatch from Boston, Mass last night
says: Sunday laws, more rigid than those
of any other state in the Union, and long
order Of the police board. All small stores
were closed, druggists confined themselves
to the sale Of drugs, work usually done on
Sundays in large manufacturing establish
ments so that weekday business would not
be interfered with was suspended, and the
barber shops closed. Whisky was sold only
in hotels with meals, and this fact offered
the sarcastic druggists an opportunity to
become facetous
Buy sandwich and get all the beer and
whisky you want was displayed on a large
sign in front of a downtown drugstore and
underneath it, No soft drinks on Sunday"
Such signs were displayed in drugstores all
over Boston, with variations of every sort
as If the druggists had acted in concert as
they did In deciding to sell cigars and to-
bacco on the grounds that they are drugs.
Signs were almost invariably surrounded
with black Grape borders.
Candy boxes in the form of collins were
prominent in many drugstores, with such
Inscriptions attached as, lowing to the en-
forement Of the blue laws, 1 cannot be sold
today
Policemen in citizens clothes were detailed
in all sections of the city, but the law was
observed so closely that 1t is not expected
that any warrants will be asked for tomor-
row.
All the trouble is said to have been caused
by an overZealous police captain in Dor
chester, who some weeks ago literally en-
forced an order sent out by the police board
and which was disregarded by the other
captains in Boston. Dorchester people OBJ
forcement of the order all over Boston was
the result.

The Primary at Brightseat.


BRIGHTSEAT Nd, April q, 1902
Exaggerated accounts have been sent out
from Upper Marlboro concerning the dis
turbance at the republican primary held
here Saturday. Pursuant to the resolu-
ton recently passed by the republican
state central committee, only those persons
were permitted to vote at this primary
who were known to have supported the
straight republican ticket last fall or
would promise to do SO in the coming cam
paign. Some half dozen votes were chal-
lenged and thrown out on this ground. al
though a number of the self-styled re
form" element were on hand, with the
avowed intention Of carrying the day ANY
how" Their efforts ended in decisive de-
feat. as the final tally showed forty-six
votes for the straight ticket to twenty
one against It,
The disorder began through the attempts
of one man to cast his vote, in face of the
fact that he had few minutes before
openly avowed his intention of supporting
the democratic ticket. He was challenged
by one Of the watchers to whom he ap-
piled a vile epithet, which was promptly
resented by a singing upper-cut No other
blows were struck.
1t has been charged that Mr.. w. T. S.
Rollins of the Post Office Department was
perniciously active on that occasion, and
threats have been made that the matter
will be brought to the Presidents atten-
ton. There is claimed to be abundant evil
dence of the untruth of these charges.

Guantanamo Bay Selected.

Although this government will not enter
upon negotiations for concessions upon
which to establish naval and coaling sta
lions in Cuba until after that government
is formally launched, it is stated at the
Navy Department that Guantanamo bay
already has, been selected for the site of
the single naval station which will be es-
tablished in the, island. Notwithstanding
the firmly expressed opinion of Admiral
Bradford that Havana harbor offers the
only really suitable and desirable facilities
for a naval lstat ton in the West Indies it
would. appear that this government is to
yield to Cuban national pride in this mat
ter and have neither coaling nor a naval
station at Havana. There probably will be
only two coating stations, one at Nipe bay
and the other at Cienfuegos.

CONSUMPTION Is DECREASING.
DR.. Koch's Discovery Said to Have
Saved Many Lives
. New York Tribune OF today.

FROM the New York Tribune OF today.
Deaths from consumption in this city have
been decreasing for years. This is due
largely to the growing knowledge of the in
fectious character of the disease and the
necessity for taking great care to prevent
its transmission. This knowledge has been
spread in various ways through the diligent
efforts of the board of health. The death
rate from consumption in many other cities
is also declared to be decreasing in proper
ton to the population, and this is true not
only of America, but of Europe. The gen.
eral decrease in deaths from consumption
over large part of the civilized world is
attributed to the announcement of the dis
covery of Koch, in 1882. that consumption
is infectious, and his declaration of the
necessity for destroying the sputa.
An interesting statement on the decrease
in the number of deaths from consumption
in this city was given to a Tribune reporter
recently by DR.. William H. Guilfoy. regis
ter of the board of health He said there
had been gradual decrease in the number
of deaths from consumption in this city for
twenty years past. In 1881 the death rate
lation and in 1901 1t was only $50 thou
sand. The doctor accordingly estimated
that 3.7S7 lives had been saved from 1881
to 1901 in Manhattan and the Bronx and
about 6,430 lives had been saved in the en-
tire greater city. with a population of 3,e00,-
900. For the first quarter of this year there
were 1S2 fewer deaths from consumption in
this city than for the corresponding quar-
ter last year. When asked how he ex-
planned the decrease in the number Of
death from consumption DR.. Guilfoy re-
piled that it was due in part to measures
instituted by the board of health at least
since 1896. 1t was also due to the spread
of knowledge that consumption is an in
fictitious disaSe, and that more care is taken
in regard to the sputum. The measures of
the board of health in having every room
used by a tuberculous patient cleaned have
been very important. DR.. Guilfoy said that
when the reporting of cases Of consumption
to the board of health was started about
1896, The board did not get half the cases.
but now the majority Of cases were report
ed.
