TUBERCULOSIS LEADS.
Is Responsible for More Deaths Than
 Any C.icr Disease.

New York March 25.-Dr. Lederte of the board of health today reported to Mayor Low that tuberculosis remains the greatest single cause of deaths in this city, and one which. in my opinion, demands that attention from the muni- cipal authorities in the interest of public health be had. The number of persons suffering from tuberculosis is variously estimated at from 30000 to 1000, and many of these are undoubtedly affecting their associates and thus adding to the extent of the disease. l believe the time has come when the city of New York should extend its facilities for the treatment of tuberculosis"
 He recommends the erection of sani- tarium on the tent plan.

GIRL MEETS VIOLENT END.
Miss Stella H. Stork Dies In Hospital
 Presumably of Perltonitis.

Louisville, Ky, March 25.-Behind a certificate assigning peritonitis as the cause of death lies the mystery of violent death that came to Miss Stella H. Storh, a pretty young woman whose home was at Huntingburg. Ind, but who died at a private hospital in this city Tuesday afternoon. While peri tonitis was the direct cause of death, this was brought on by an operation performed presumably in Louisville by some physician whose name is un- known. George Lemp, Southern Rail- way conductor, who came to Louis- vile with the girl last week. was ar rested in Huntingburg tonight, but de- nied that he had any knowledge of the girls condition. He expressed a willingness to return to Louisville without requisition papers.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
Somewhat in continuation of my letter
of July 90 in your paper | wish to say
first that wanted to apply my obser-
vations of municipal affairs and our
duty concerning them more to those af-
fairs than to hunting up contrasts in
mining wages.
At the same time, as far us the cost of
living is concerned now and what it was
i'll 1874, there is no more reason to be eX-
travagant now than then, although we
have. or ought to have more to be eX-
travagant with at this time, for the cost
of living is unquestiOnably lower.
In looking over the Clerks annual re-
port in your paper of May 8 find we are
indebted to several of our citizens 1900
or So 000-all past due. But have not
since seen nor heard of any provision
made or making to cancel that indebted

We have also Il bonded indebtedness Of
So, 900, due 16 or II years hence, run

AS to the bonded debt the question
with some of us interested ones is-what
is being done, if anything, to provide for
the payment of that debt? Has sink

If so, how large is it? If not, why not ?

perity and that we are more able to
meet these big obligations than will be
those who live to see the time when they
will fall due.
AS an honest, economic family, there
fore, ought we not to live within our
means and lay up every year something
wherewith to ease the burden when its
full weight comes down on us?

all that ''plowing' and rolling" was

pose of meeting the increasing demand
for the privilege of working on the

Mr.. JOURNAL, l candidly confess that
| am uneasy when | view a situation
that seems to be growing worse all the
time. l wonder that your licks, though
hard, are not harder, and that you do
not hit extravaganza in expenditures as
well as the bravo which, i'll spite of

Look Here.

1.-The Observer" in NeWspaperdom,
thinks "the Publishers Association
should give some consideration to the
illegltimate use of street cars and
elevated railroad stations as advertising
mediums. Continues he:
The franchises granted the railway COM
panies are for transportation purposes and
not to conduct general advertising bust
ness. In selling privileges for advertising
purposes those companies violate the law
and should be treated like other w-breakers.
The illegal profits made through selling
space is enormous, but its enormity should
in no way be made reason for not putting
a stop to the unauthorized traffic. The pub
fishers should see that the matter gets before
the courts and then judicial opinion will
end the easy-money graft.
A similar question had occurred to the
JOURNAL-suppose the electric railway
company had gone into the business of
selling dry goods on its cars to its pas
sengers, what would the merchants who
are advertising in the cars think of that
innovation?
Yet a departure of that character from
the company's authorized business is nc
greater than that which makes rights-of
way, road, power-h0use and cars illegiti
mate competitors of legitimate advertis
ing establishments.

On and Ofthe Stage.

Roy L. McCardell, whose inimitable
witticisms in the New York papers and
elsewhere have made him famous as a
humorist, has written new book that
is brimful of good things. Mr.. McCar-
dell's heroine is chorus girl, bright,
chatty, ambitious and an unconscious
humorist. Her recital of the thousand
and one little things that make up her
life is something too funny to be missed.
Her experiences ION the road, "in
Broadway" loft the stage" "at
Harlem" are among the most laughable
things that have come from publishing
house in many day. Gene Carr, whose
Lady Bountiful' pictures are known
throughout America, has illustrated the
book, and it is hardly necessary to add
that the pictures are quite as delightful
as the text. Conversations of Chorus
Girl is bound to be one of the hits of
the season. The JOURNAL is indebted to
the author for a pretty copy. Those of
his legion of friends who wish to enjoy
fun characteristic of Roy can do so for a
nominal price, stated elsewhere.

Keno" reports:
Down at Homecoming last Saturday "Our
Own won another game from the Dobbie
aggregation. 1t was a sure-enOugh contest
Good plays by both teams were the order
of the hour.
Flanagan, of Vale Summit was the slab
artist for the locals and, barring the eighth
inning, pitched an elegant game. He is a
big, hefty fellow; has lots of speed in his
good right arm; knows how to curve the
horse-hide sphere and occasionally drops
it over in the most approved style His
support throughout, however, was a little
erratiC.
Burrs, at short, had some dark spots to
his credit that counted for "Our Own" and
Marine, the catcher, was "otf color in
throwing to bases, though he welded the
willow to advantage.
For "Our Own" William Spates was on
the slab and in excellent form. He certain
ly pitched great ball, allowing the locals only
five hits during the entire contest
Metz gave him fine support behind the
bat, and the entire team played winning
ball.
James Jackson, carried off the honors in
the out-lield by making several very difficult
catches, while George .Gunnett made several
sensational plays on the initial bag.
The game was umpired by John Dobbie,
who made a model officer, as ut no time was
there kick by either team.
Following is the score.
