In other American cities. as in New-York the
cricket clubs are chiefly recruited from English
men who have made their homes in this coun-
try Sometimes they are men Of leisure and as
often they artisans. In Newark and Patcr-
son there are several clubs whose members
work in the great factories situated there. Most
Of the New England cricket clubs are recruited
from factory towns. whereas IN Boston cricket
has also been adopted by few Americans.
The Massachusetts League, which was estab-
lished last month includes such clubs rs the
Boston, East Boston. East Everett. Lynn. Law
renee Merrirnack. Brockton and Mohar. other
cities where Engshmcn have formed strong
clubs are Baltimore Pittsburg. Detroit. Chicago,
St Paul. Denver and San Francisco.
In this city there are many more cricket play
ers than there are members Of local clubs for
the reason that every British steamship which
sails in from brings in a cricket club Of its
own. The players are members of the crew.
and when in port they only too glad to get
the exercise a match game affords In such
steamship club there are often odd combina-
tons. At one Of the games played recently at
Prospect Park bowler who showed remarkable
skill and bore himself with great dignity

The writ of certiorari in the Barry
case recently argued at Fargo before
the supreme court, affords an oppor-
tunity for the settlement of what is
agreed by attorneys to be a close ques-
ton, and that is whether q defend
ant in a criminal action can be taken
out of his own county for trial at the
request and motion of the state. In
this case Barry was ordered retired in
Walsh county, the state presenting
afadayits to Judge Cowan whose in
tention was to show that trial of the
case in Cavalier county would be i'm
possible. Attorneys for Barry argue
that he has q constitutional right to
be tried in his own county and that
he cannot be hailed to another county
for trial where he does not agree to
the change of venue. It would seem
on the one hand that q defendant was
entitled to be tried in his own county
and to the benefit that might accrue
to him from his fellow citizens knowl
edge Of him and of his general char
acter and disposition. On the othel
hand, II the case cannot be movet
from Cavalier county after two mis-
trials, such as have been had in this
case, it is admitted it will be difncul
TO try the case again in the sam,
4 county. It is a rather difficult ques
ton either way, although not one tina

have been SO unusual as this one
where two successive trials hav
proven fruitless to determine finall
the question of Barry's guilt or in
nocence. ~, "'

Medical studentss scheme That Faiied
20 Work.
A Maine medical student who has
been visiting In Auburn. tells this
grewsome but not uninteresting story
about miracles:
Il have been at work." said he. "in
one Of the largest city hospitals dur
ing the past summer, and there were
large number Of students who. Ike
myself, were trying to get practical
experience In surgery and other
branches OF the medical profession.
Among the younger fellows was a
student apparently without any
nerves He could stand up before the
most trying operation from the very
first without the Quiver OF a muscle.
We all decided that he was destined
for greatness by the short road. In
the meantime one of the leaders
among the students (thsrs is always

us together and held q council OF war.
Now, you say young s. hasn't any

TT was agreed in \ few moments
and the arrangements were made on
the spot. Our young nervsless friend
was to take his turn at q difiicult

ingly, Just before the appointed time

for the operating room. All was dark
and still as he crept under the operat-
ing table upon which the dead body
lay. 1t should be explained that a
wire had been connected with the
right arm OF the dead body and led
down under the table within easy
reach of the concealed man. Pretty
soon. after what must have been an
interminable wait for the man under
the table, our nerveless young master
surgeon came into the room and be-
gan his work. All at once our leader
pulled the wire, the arm shot up
straight into the air about two feet.
Our friend glanced up a moment put
1t down and continued his work as II
nothing had happened. After another
half minute our leader pulled the wire
again. Again the arm shot up as be-
fore and again our student friend put
It down in place with the same air
of perfect unconcern while he resumed
his work as before. Now. we began
to get impatient and so did our leader
under the table. Next time he gave
the wire a tug that nearly parted 1t
from its fastenings. and this time the
arm shot straight over the bent head
Of the young operator and stayed
there like an avenging spirit our
friend looked up from his work, took
hold Of the hand, put the arm back
in its place and with the air Of one

COST OF THE WHITE PLAGUE

Tuberculosis Causes 10000 Deaths
and Loss Of Millions Yearly
tuberculosis causes annually more
than 10000 deaths In the United
States at the average age Of 80 years.
At this age the normal lifetime Ia
about 80 years, so that the real loss
Of life covered, measured In time. Is
represented by 100000 years per an
mum. II we assume that the net value
Of q year Of human life after the age
Of S5 years is at least $50. the real
loss to the nation resulting from the
disease q large proportion Of which
Ii known to be needless) may be esti-
mated at s240,00O. 900 per annum.
These astounding and almost incom-
prehensible figures are far from being
an exaggeratton, but let Us assume
that only one-half Of this mortality Is
preventable, and we have q net possi.
BILE saving to the nation Of $120. 600 900
per annum. This estimate does not
take into account the social, moral and
sentimental value of at least 100000
lives, which, under different conditions,
might reasonably hope to continue for
many years.
The mortality from tuberculosis is,
therefore, problem compared with
which all other social problems Of a
medical character sink into inhgnin-
cance, and 1t Is safe to say that the
possible prevention Of large portion
Of the mortality from this disease is
Justly deserving Of the solicitude, the
active personal interest and liberal pc
cuniary support of all who have the
real welfare of the people Of this ma
tion at heart.
Biggs estimates that New York City
sustains an annual economic loss of
$23, 100000, and that the nation at
large must sustain an annual loss Of
$3.50. 100000 because of tuberculosis.
There are nearly 100000 deaths from
consumption In New York City. Seven
thousand persons died in Illinois in
1908, half Of them between ths>ages Of
20 and 30 years, while the estimated
loss to the State alone, because Of this
disease, was $4,000. 900, and the med
ical authorities Of that State have
found that consumption Is responsible
for more deaths than typhoid fever,
scarlet fever, diphtherla, all forms Of
bronchitis, influenza, measles and
smallpox combined.-New York Med
