DIPHTHERIA ANTI-TOXIN
WON'T CURE MENINGITIS

New York, April Diphtheria anti
toxin will not cure meningitis. It is
stated positively at Gouverneur hospital
that the net result Of the experiments
there from Jan, s to date was a death
rate of the same percentage as prevailed
there last year when the anti-toxirl was
not used The treatment was first taken
up in this city by DIR Edward Waltz
fielder, at ,Gouverlleur hospital. Under
his direction during January and Feb
ruary the diphtheria serum was injected
into seventeen patients, Of whom eight
recovered. The meningitis commission,
and other officials Of the health depart
lnent, and physicians and scientists gen
orally, gave. an adverse verdict on the
serum Meantime, the meningitis epi-
demic keeps on spreading in New York,
and through all the territory within $50
miles.
Between noon Saturday and noon to-
day there were forty-seven deaths IN
Manhattan, against forty-six in the four
days of the previous week. There is
scarcely any place where meningitis
does not exist this spring to some ex-
tent. According to the New York
health officials. it will gradually spread
until it has extended over every state
in the union.

BLANCHE WALSH'S SCHEME
ON THEATRE PRICES

New York, April 7.-Blanche Walsh
has in view plan to revolutionize pri-
ces for seats in theatres to suit those
of moderate income. Miss Walsh
says:
Il firmly believe that the prevailing
arrangement of the schedule of prices
in the first class theatres is responsible
for the depreciation of the average
theatrical patronage in recent years,
and the plans have in
view for the theatre. in which I
propose to revive the now obsolete
producing stock company, it is my pur-
pose to make radical change in this
direction. : Gee.
IF theatrical managers were to take
"a few lessons in social economy they
would, fancy, have better apprecia-
tion OF my point of view. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that the centralization of
wealth has been going along at a more
rapid gait here than it has in the his
tory OF any other country. While
Equality was aimed at in the constitr-
tion, classes were long since sharply
defined, and at the present time the ag-
gregate wealth is held in perhaps fewer
hands than is the case with any Euro
Ipean nation. In America, as in Eng
land, it is obvious, therefore, that pop
ular institutions such as the theatre
really depend almost entirely for their
support upon the great middle class.
Neither intelligence, culture nor re-
80 fhfa mn al rf
and yet practically this class alone is
the frst-class theatre. Every desir-
able seat that is, every seat on the
lower floor and a part OF the balcony,
costs 81, a large number ST.. I.5o-in fact,
the price decreases in about exactly the
inverse ratio to the number of pocket.
books that can afford the seats. The
result naturally has been to divorce the
belligerant part OF the middle class
from these theatres almost entirely.
and to lower the standard Of dramatic
taste of the rest by forcing it to seek
La lower grade of entertainment.
Il do not can attention to this matter
lin a spirit OF philanthropy, but in
spirit of expediencys b Among those
who can we'll afford So seat there are
numerous other diversions which their
wealth may procure. Taking this into
consideration, and the fact that only
small percentage of them are playgoers
/ do not believe their aggregate num-
Der is, nearly equal to that OF the seats
at this price now in the New York
theatres.
1T is obvious that large number Of
these seats are occupied by those OF orr
|dinary means who purchase them as
ian unusual treat and at the cost OF
deprivation in other ways. u.
In the theatre / have in view pro-
pose to have a scale of prices that shall
suit All classes, aThose who can af-
ford it may have To pay even more than
they do now. But there viii be three
different prices on the lower floor,
three in the balcony, and there will be
a large gallery where every seat wilt
be reserved and there the fixed price
will be 25 cents.
4 BY this procedure may not be able
TO boast OF quite as large moneyed
capacity. but | am sure that it will
yield a better and steadier revenue than
does the system which now obtains.
