Two YEARS ago the New York Journal of
Commerce tabulator made the total December
fire.loss Of the United States and Canada s13,-
47S, 400; year ago, s14,616,5OO. Now he
makes it s17,224, 700. As everyone knows
these immense figures are to very large ex-
tent due to wicked carelessness and criminal
greed. Theunavoidablea and unforeseen causes
Of fire are in the minority. The Chicago dis
aster is an illustration. The estimated cost Of
the fires of 1908 to this country and the Do
minion was sl56. 1876. 700. "a more expensive
year from fire-waste standpoint than 1906"
remarks the insurance editor, land far above
the average" As we all know, 1904 is begin
ming fire record with fine burst of speed.

TALKING ABOUT his appointment few days
ago Col. Oswald TiIghman, of Talbot county,
the new Secretary Of State. said: my APP
poiptment was purely personal one. When
our county delegation entered the convention
which nominated Mr.. Warfield for Governor,
! was the only man of the eight who was I'M
alterabIy for him. There was nothing like
bargains, pledges or compromises. Mr.. War
field won a victory on bis merits. have long
been personal friend of the new Governor.
| have been his guest and he has been mine
but our intimacy does not extend to politics,
at least not so far that would suggest an APP
pointment to him. l will have absolutely
nothing SAY about any appointment. Ihope
to be sociabIe and congenial with everybody.
but ! repeat that it will have nothing to do
with any Office appointment whatsoever"

THE LATE Rev. John Brindle, who died at
his home in Cumberland county, Pa, few
days ago, was noted as walker. He had
travelled thousands of miles through Cumber-
land Valley, in which he lived, and was never
known to ride, always preferring to walk. 1t
was not unusual for him to walk from Mar
tinsburg to Winchester and return in day,
covering the distance of 40 miles with appar-
ent ease. After he had passed his S5th year he
walked from Martinsburg to the home of bis
son, near Chambersburg, distance of about
so miles.

AMONG THE Democratic possibilities of 1904
Senator Bailey, of Texas, has been mentioned,
but the Senator does not take kindly to the
idea. In a letter to personal friend in his
State he said: Il feel sure that it will not be
great many years until the South furnishes
the Democratic candidate for the Presidency,
and l think it reasonably certain that Texas
will be the first Southern State to furnish the
nominee. l am equally sure, however, that
the first candidate from the South will not be-
long to my generation, but to the one coming
after ours. There is no very widespread Sec
tional feeling in the North, but there is still
enough there to render the nomination of a
Southern man of very doubtful wisdom

Mr.. ]. ALEX. PRESTON, whose serious illness
was referred to by THE UNION last week, died
at his home on North Charles street. Baltimore,
on Tuesday night, from complication of dis
eases. Mr.. Preston was among the leading
members of the bar and had wide circle of
friends. He was a native of Hartford county
and son of DR.. Jacob H. Preston, prominent
physician in his day. In 1860 Mr.. Preston
married Miss Achsah Ridgely Carroll daugh-
ter Of the late James Carroll, of Summer
field" Baltimore county. She survives him,
with two daughters and one son-Mr. j. Alex
ander Preston, Jr. It will be remembered that
another son-Robert L. Preston-was run
over by freight car in Baltimore, on Thurs
day of last week, and almost instantly killed.
Owing to the condition of Mr. Preston's
health a. the time he was not informed of his
sons shocking death and died in ignorance
of it.

OF THE q, 487 who died of cancer in England
in 1901 probably the majority were operated
upon by cutting out the diseased part. The
expectations from radium and the X-rays will
end in disappointment, because the sources
and maintenance of cancer lie in the impuri-
ties of the blood, and can only be contended
against by process of publication. Conn
menting on this the London Nelos says: "Can-
Ger is not formed when the blood is pure, and
will wither away when lis impure sources are
removed. Pure diet and not too much of it
will cure cancer. This assertion is sustained
by case described by Mr.. Sidney Beard, Of
Paignton, Devon, of a lady who eighteen
months ago was seen by two consulting sur
geons, who declared that she was suffering
from typical undouhted cancer of the breast
An operation having been declined the
patient was induced to adopt an exceedingly
limited and Unitarian diet. Gradually the &C.
tivity of the growth ceased, absorption and the
wasting ofthe tissues slowly occurred, and to-
day its site is marked by scarlike nodule of
material presenting none of the signs of an ac-
tive, malignant growth. The surgeons are Of
opinion that these results are due to dietetic
treatment alone' This is cheering but not
conclusive. However. it has this suggestive
ness If proper mode of living will cure
cancer, how much better to use the same
means to prevent it?

Miss SUSAN B. ANTHONY, in preface which
she has contributed to the fourth volume Of
THE History Of Woman Suffrage" points
out that everything except suffrage that was
asked for in the platform Of the first womans
convention, held at Seneca Falls, N. Y, in
1s4S, has been granted. That platform de-
manded that woman be granted the rights Of
personal freedom. to acquire an education,
earn living, claim her wages, own property,
make contracts. bring suit, testify in court,
obtain divorce for just cause, possess her
children and be entitled to fair share Of ac-
cumulations during marriage. At that time
none Of the states granted many of these
rights for privileges by statute. Now nearly
all the states concede them and have estab-
lished them in law. 1.-THE condition Of wo-
man today, compared with that Of last year,
seems unchanged, bnt contrasted with that OF
fifty years ago it presents as great revolution
as the world has ever witnessed in this length
of time" Miss Anthony confesses that, at
the present time, majority of her sex do not
ask for suffrage, one reason being as she as
sumes, the large gains for woman already &C
complished. She believes that indifference
will be overcome. "There is hope which
amounts 10 certainty. Nothing could be more
logical than belief that wherever one hum
bred privileges have been opposed, and then
ninety-nine Of them granted, the remaining
one will ultimately follow
