Special Hospitals for Consumptives.
A hundred years ago the city of
Naples, Italy, erected large hospital
for consumptives, and required the
isolation of all persons suffering from
this disease. 1t is only recently, how
ever, that the authorities of modern
cities have become awakened to the
importance of this sanitary measure.
Recently number of cities have
taken steps for the establishment of
hospitals especially for the treatment
of cases of consumption by the So
called "open-air method" Excellent
results are reported from this method
of treatment.
The German government has a
large central committee numbering
more than thirteen hundred persons,
organized for the purpose CT erecting
hospitals for the treatment of tuber-
culosis. This committee has under its
supervision seventy-four such hospi-
tails. and last year treated over thirty
thousand patients, of whom eighty per
cent we're returned to their homes
practically cured after remaining in
the hospitals on an average of little
less than three months.

The following abstracts from an ar
ucle by J. E. Stubbert, M. D., in the
Medical Record, should receive wide
and careful attention. No doubt If
these ideas could be carried out, the
white plague" would be robbed of
much of its terror
In ancient times it was highly i'm
proper to expose tuberculous pa
tient, especially one beyond the first
stage, to breath of fresh air except
on the mildest days in summer, while
the night air was dreaded and avoided
as the plague. Then the more observ-
ant and thoughtful men noticed that
those who lived more in the open air
did not die as quickly as the dollhouse
patients, and they began to urge an
outdoor life and moderate exercise
as prophylactic as well as a cure
for those in the early stages of con-
sumption. Those in the more advanc-
ed stages were allowed fresh air only
when it was at summer temperature,
but even this was better than being
kept indoors in warm, ill'ventilated
rooms the whole year.
There are several plans by which
the victim of tuberculosis may con-
tinuously breathe pure, fresh air by
night as well as by day. Sleeping out
in the open air is not harmful to
large majority of tuberculous people.
Millet, of Brockton, Mass, reports
the cases of five patients whom he
recommended to sleep out of doors at
night. They were allowed no roof
over their heads except in rainy
weather They wore soft felt hats
and cotton nightshrts, sleeping under
ordinary bedclothes in beds arranged
on the roofs of their houses. I'M
provement was noted in two weeks.
Coughs disappeared, temperatures be-
came normal, respirations were easier
and weight increased rapidly. No at
tention was paid to dampness and
drafts, and heavy dews were regarded
as inconvenient simply because of the
necessity of drying the bedclothes.
Sleeping in small room with an
open window does not appear to be
nearly so beneficial to the patient as
when the nights are passed on ver-
anda or in a tent where there is
free circulation of air on all sides. II
a patient were fortunate enough to
have large room with a southern ex-
posture and containing one or two
open fireplaces, in addition to large
windows on three sides, which might
be opened at night, he might derive
approximately the benefit incident to

add greatly to the comfort and con-
venience of those in i'll health, and
their use can be made perfectly safe
by exposing them to the sunlight for

In fact, every movement made in the
case seems to be made at the instiga-
ton of Captain Spillane or his asso-
ciates.
1t is certain that no arrests will be
made here until the chemists have
completed their Investigations. Sheriff
Henry declares that he will take no
decisive action until he is certain be-
yond a shadow of doubt that Mrs.
Stanford's death was caused by strych
nine poisoning.
Until that time we can make little
progress in the investigation, he says.
The stomach of Mrs. Stanford is
closely guarded by the police in the
Board Of Health building. Two chem
lists are constantly on duty going for
ward with the work of making the
analysis. The task is presided over by
City Chemist r. A. Duncan.

SELBY JURORS
ARE FOR MERCY

In Judge Lawlor's court last night
Isaac Selby was found guilty of as
sault with intent to commit murder.
His offense consisted of firing a re-
volver at Judge Hebbard in his court
room in November.
Accompanying the verdict Of guilty
was a strong recommendation for
mercy, owing to the testimony intro
duced tending to prove the unbalanced
condition of the accused mans mind.
When the case was called yesterday
Mrs. Teresa Selby, the divorced wife
of the defendant and the person over
whom the trouble arose, testified as to
her eX-husband's freaks. j. Larsen. a
locksmith who had known Selby in
Australia, said that the man labored
under some queer hallucinations. The
jury retired soon after o'clock, and
its verdict was returned three hours
later.

the Attorney General was at variance
with the local police. He was indig-
nant over the article and declares that
it is grossly untrue.
The strain of the implied suspicious
is wearing on Miss Berner and May
Hunt. Both show evidence of the
strain and avoid being seen. Miss
Berner seemed annoyed when the
publication of her statement regarding
All Wing was revealed to her.
Il will talk no more except upon the
advice of my attorney she said. May
Hunt is equally uncommunicative,
both acting under advice.
Speculation is rife as to what will
be the immediate action of the High
Sheriff when the result of the analysis
or of the Investigations of the San
Francisco police warrant an arrest or
several arrests. Theories of all sorts
are plentiful here. but the most pop
ular one is that the poison was placed
in the bicarbonate of soda bottle in
San Francisco.
The Sheriff has received requests
from Mrs. Stanford's relatives that
every organ in the dead woman's body
be turned over to the chemists. It Is
evident that they are now satisfied
that she was murdered.
A rumor that a second bottle con-
tanning strychnine was found in Mrs.
Stanford's medicine chest is denied by
the police. They declare that there
were no traces of strychnine found in
any of the bottles except the one con-
tanning bicarbonate of soda
Up to II D. m. the chemists were
still at work on their analyses. No
results were given out, but a complete
report is expected to-day.

Although not the slightest intimation
is being given by the head of the de-

evidence to substantiate charge of
guilt against Miss Richmond it is well
known that of all the suspicious enter
tanned by the Police Department and
the detectives of the Morse agency
the strongest are being directed to-
ward the former maid of the woman
lying dead In Honolulu.
In searching back in the career of
Miss Richmond it has been found that
she and Beverley were not kindly dis
posed toward Miss Berner, a fact the
police attribute to jealousy. 1t is said
that there were frequent attempts
made by members of Mrs. Stanfords S
household to discredit Miss Berner in
the mind of her mistress, but that the
latter. whose confidence in her private
secretary could not be shaken, met
these efforts with a prompt rebuke that
only tended to intensity the i'll feeling

awful deed that brought Mrs. Stanford
to her untimely end. The question of
Mrs. Stanfords death having possibly
been wrought by her own hand is now
entirely dispelled. The students are

could have been instrumental in re-
moving one from earth who has done
nothing but shower kindnesses upon
her fellow men. The name of the be-
loved benefactress has been on the lips
of every student here to-day. They
all ask the same question and that is.
what was the motive? Why should
she have been poisoned?"
The gay college life has for the nonce
been entirely dispelled. Everything
about the campus is quiet and students
go to and from recitations talking In
subdued undertones. Charles G. Lath-
rop, the brother of the poisoned wo-
man, departed on an early train for
San Francisco this morning. Prior to
his leaving here a number of employees
in the Southern Pacific Company who
