Fighting the White Plague.

One Of the most important and encourage
ing public works now under way In this
city is that undertaken by the Associated
Charities in the crusade against tuberculo-
sis. Yesterday a meeting of two OF the
committees having this campaign in charge
was held, with q showing Of unmistakable
progress The work naturally divides it
self into two parts. educational, or pre-
ventive, and curative. BY far the more
important is the former, which carries the
possibilities of eradication once regarded
as absolutely beyond human hope. By
means of lectures addressed to the people
Of all classes, but chiefly Of the more
humble walks Of life, the known facts re-
garding tuberculosis are made plain. 1t Is
shown first of all that Consumption" is
a germ disease, which is contracted by di-
rect infection; second, that the principle OF
the disease is elected from the lungs Of
the sufferer in the form of the sputum,
which has heretofore been freely deposited
in all manner of places without thought
for the danger thus involved. Finally the
great Importance Of making known all sus-
pected or certain cases of tuberculosis to
the authorities is urged impressively upon
the people, so that 1t may be possible to
bring the warnings as to safeguarding
against q SpTSdQ VI Tic ulScdSc UITcClty ~
the attention of those who constitute the
chief menace.
The reports submitted thus far by the
committees in charge Of the lecture work
indicate that the people of Washington are
grasping the facts with gratifying inteli-
gence and are zealously cooperating with
the authorities to the end of spreading in
formation and bringing suspected cases UNI
der fmpDf community SIlc3
Washington, with high degree of public
intelligence and low rate of illiteracy, the
spread of this class of information is COM
paratively easy. 1t should be possible IN
the course of a few seasons to make the
truth as to tuberculosis known to every
man, woman and child in the District,
with inevitable result in the betterment
of the health reports.
There is need it is plain, of a sanitarium
for the treatment of tubercular patients.
Segregation Is now recommended by the
most advanced students of the problem,
and until each city is provided with a
well-ordered and properly located hospital
for the care of consumptiyes the fight
against the great white plague will con-
tinue a difficult one. But with knowledge
rapidly spreading among the people re-
garding the nature, cause and treatment Of
the disease, and with such an institution
where the poor can be scientifically treated,
with provision for the care of dependent
families to prevent the mingling of con-
sumptives with other people in the earlier
stages, Washington ought eventually to
point to a clean bill of health in this re-
spect.
This good work deserves the hearty en-
couragement and the liberal support of ev-
cry Washingtonian. for the problem at
which 1t is aimed affects more or less
closely every resident of the city. The
menace of the disease is by no means con-
fined to the slums.

The Tariff and Silence.

Mr. Cannon has breezy and pleasant
way about him al all times Just now, with
everybody else, he is interested in the Ques-
ton of a special session of the next Con-
gress for consideration of the tariff. He
frankly opposes the suggestion, and said
yesterday to a number of newspaper cor
respondents. Change the subject, boys.
You've harped on the tariff long enough.
Tell the people that the devil is dead"
Some of today's gossip has it that while
b special session of the next Congress will
probably be called for October. the subject
to be laid before 1t by the President will be
the regulation of railroad rates and not the
tariff. The tariff. we are told, may come up
at the regular session, but as meanwhile 1t
will not figure in the discussion of the spe-
cial session the business world will not be
stirred and no harm be done. Everything
will proceed as If no tariff question existed,
until Congress, in easy and offhand man
ner, takes it up and disposes of 1t.
This is a pleasant conceit, but nothing
more The adjuration, forget it," will
not serve in this case. Nobody is going to
forget the tariff question. and silence about
1t cannot be commanded. What is upper
most in the thoughts of so many people
will necessarily continue to be made prom
$1,000 W ooib toIeutS anu pens. Inc taTlu
was to the fore when railroad rates were
Of interest only in railroad circles. No one
will attempt to belittle the Importance Of
the railroad problem, which seems booked
for early solution. but it will be quite i'm
possible to magnify 1t to the extent that
everything else shall be forgotten in it's
behalf. There will be plenty of work for
Congress to do after the curb has been
slipped into the mouths of the railroad
companies and their course toward the
public regulated.
There is no alarm as the result of the
movement for limited revision of the
tarin on protection lines except in quar-
tiers where protection has had its perfect
work. Those who are receiving what is
p 1ctically bounty from the Dingley law
naturally enough maybe, want to hold on
10 it. but that Is no argument against re-
vising the tariff in the interests of nine
1enths of the American people
e. NO the Speaker is wrong This is no
time for asserting that the devil is dead.
For. as matter of fact If the tariff is not
revised by the next Congress the repubI-
can party will discover that there is the
devil to pay. The old boy will be very
much alive.

1t is up to date in all things, including
high prices at the hotels, and 1t has many
cities which IN point of beauty and comfort
far surpass cities of like size In some OF
the other states. Still the west figures in

all paradise. There are some bald and dis

problem. But, in the main, we have been
forging ahead at a wonderful speed, and
the old boundaries of east and west have
been completely obliterated.

Kansas a Central State.

Gov Hoch contends that Kansas is not q
western but central state And he is
right. One has only to look at the NIP
to see that the sunfower state is just
where the governor places IT, But for years

continue to figure as western In popular

General Stoessel.
From the Chicago Record Herald.

Stoessel is described as German sixty
years of age, who was born in Switzerland
about forty years ago. It Is reported that
he Is drunkard and charlatan being
strictly temperate and a man who Is to be
relied upon under any circumstances. It
may be added that he is one of the worlds
most splendid heroes and has lust surren-
dered under conditions that prove him to
be an arrant coward. He ought to be
ashamed OF himself and may be pardoned
II he at times is inclined to speak with tina
simple bluntness OF the truly great.

COMPENSATION OF sHERIFFs
Engrosses the Attention of Members
 Of the Lower House.

The principal matter before the house yesterday in a session which be- gan at nine o'clock in the morning and with an intermisslon of two hours. continued until one o'clock was the matter of sheriff's fees. The ques- tion was brought up indirectly in the course of a consideration of a bill by MT. Strong for an increase of the conl- pensation of jail guards who now re- ceive from the county $60 a month. though most of the sheriffs arrange it so they get more than that. The bill of Mir. Strong proposes an increase b s75 a month.
 The bill practically reenacts the present law with relation to the fees of sheriff's including the mileage of thirty cents. It was that feature which developed the first opposition Mir Will son said that he had no objection to the proposed increase in the salary of the guards but that he would not stand for retention of the mileage. A more or less general discussion of all the fees of the office of sheriff followed and 1t was finally decided to refer the matter to the committee of the whole where at the same time it will be con- sidered with the bill of Mir. Anderson of Yavapai making the offices of sher- ifs salaried.
 bill allowing clerks of boards of supervisors in counties of the first class to have assistants was favorably reported and was ordered to the conl- mittee of the whole. Another bill mak- ing the clerks of boards elective was allowed to go over until Monday
 Two bills, one for the protection of the capitol building against the floods of Cave Creek and the author izing of boards of supervisors to make provision for the protection of property against floods were favorably reported. The house had passed a council bill authorizing the county of Mohave to issue bonds in the sum of $50O0 for the rebuilding of the county jail. Mir. Collins yesterday informed the house that he had heard from home and that he had been informed that the sum authorized was too small. He desired to increase it to S1O,O00. In accordance with his desire the bill was recalled and sent to the committee for amend ment.

ELECTRICAL JOY.

A Frank Shirley of the Fashion barber shop. bath rooms and chiropody par lors, believes in giving his patrons ev- erything they want so long as they have the money to pay for it. For that reason he is equipped with every csn- ceivable kind of a corn knife. razor, scissor. clipper, pomade or hair restor- CT man or a woman wants. and some that a we'll regulated person don't want. Recently he has installed a new electrical device for vibratory massage that makes the old fashioned hand rub ping seem like a practice of the dark ages. It is used principally for facial massage though there are adjustable cups for operating over the entire body if one has the time. and money enough to buy such a luxury. The fa- cial massage removes all blemishes of the skin, such as blackheads, etc, that are not actually grown fast and he can dress these that are, until they look 100 per cent better. He can pull out a stub nose or deprelss a big one and in fact extract anything that will come out throngt the skin by either force or persuasion and make the pa tient feel like he was all regenerated, except the heart. And when the bill is called fcU that goes too. But it's
 io NoASe lnaH cHtISSS sAof. HdHu Norh and one gets more for his money. There is rubber stamp mill attachment de- signed to supplant the former finger rubbing of the scalp that does the business on schedule time and with appalling thoroughness. The sensation is so delightful that men have been known to get drunk, just to have Shirley rub electricity through their hair. And its just as nice for ladies as for men and there are private apartments for their accommodation; only lady don't have to get drunk first. It. is the only machine of the kind in the city and is one of the most delightful forms of barber shop tor ture ever invented, and is just as ef- fective as 1t is pleasing.
