Or. Frank Neal Robinson, Of Cam
den, Spoke on tuberculosis,
lis Relief and Cure.
INTRODUCED BY MR.. PFEIFFER.
DIR. Robinson Told of Progress Made
for Relief and Cure of Sufferers
and Urged the Necessity and Benc-
fits of Plenty of Fresh Air and
Sunlight-His Address Was Great
~ Enjoyed by All Those Present.

DR.. Frank n. Robinson, of Camden,
gave lecture last night in the high
school auditorium This lecture was
the first of course of lectures to
be given by the Raritan Club The
attendance was not as large as could
be expected, but is accounted for by
several other attractions.
Last nights lecture was on the
Prevention, Relief and Cure of Tu-
berculosis. Acting Mayor John
Pfeiffer introduced DR., Robinson.
In his introduction Mr. Pfeiffer
said that he greatly apprecited the
work of the Raritan Club, in pro-
viding these interesting and instruc-
tive free lectures. He spoke of the
long and wide experience of DR.. Rob-
inson in treating this disease.
DR.. Robinson commenced his lee
ture in speaking of the wide spread
ing of this disease, and why some
means should be taken to. help pre-
vent the spread of it. He said that
in New York city alone each year
5000 graves are dug to receive its
victims. In the United States each
years 100, 900 of It's victims drop into
their graves, and in the world each
year 100000 people are claimed by
the dreadful disease He further
said that 100000 people through
out the world are constantly suffer-
ing from this malady. DR.. Robinson
spoke of the germs cast off by con-
sumptive. Seven billion germs are
cast off by a person In the so-called
consumptive state. The germs, he
said, can only live in a certain tenn
perature and must have fresh air. He
gave the reasons why plenty of fresh
air and sunlight should be admitted
to all living rooms. DR.. Robinson
claimed man in perfect health need
not fear the disease. Deaths from
this disease in the country towns are
one-fourth less than in large cities.
The reason of this, said the speaker,
is the tightly closed up, dark, damp
apartments in large cities, with lit
tie or no air and sunlight. DR.. Rob
inson further spoke of the disease
danger, the ways of curing it and re-
liefs that, can be obtained by its suf-
ferers. The lecture was interesting
and instructive throughout.

TWO ANECDOTES OF CRANE

A New York newspaper man who
knew Stephen Crane, one of the most
promising writer's of English of his
generation-who died before he was
30--when he was in London just after
his return from the Graeco-Turkish
war, relates some amusing stories con-
corning that erratic genius.
One morning Crane dropped into
newspaper office to borrow sover-
eign from friend. He said that he
was going to luncheon with Harold
Frederic, now also dead, for whom he
had an admiration almost amounting
to awe, but with whom, he was then
only slightly acquainted, though they
afterward became inseparable friends.
In the middle of the afternoon
Crane came back for another sover-
eign and told a tale of woe. He had
asked Frederic into pub" to have
an appetizer on their way to luncheon,
and had handed out the sovereign he
had just borrowed in payment there
for. The barmaid had laid the change

Stopping for several days in Yer

the Palace, where we could spend the
greater part of our time among the
galleries and parks, proved a much
more satisfactory arrangement than
taking it as an excursion from Paris
as we had always done before, when
we tried to see everything in a few
weary hours.
In this way there was leisure to
thoroughly enjoy the paintings and
palaces: and the parks were Il perpet
