NEW ATHLETIC
ORGANIZATION

The initial steps were taken last week
a: Boston for the formation OF an organi-
cation OF the athletes that come under
the jurisdiction OF the New England As
sociation OF the Amateur Athletic union.
IL Is probable that when this new organi-
zetion attains its full strength II will
branch out and become OF national, rath-
er than OF sectional scope.
Walter ID. Eaton, one OF the best known
amateur athletes of Boston and a mem
ber Of the American team that went to
Athens, is virtually the moving spirit in
the proposed organization, but he Is
backed by some OF the strongest athletic
leaders In New England. Mr. Eaton, al
though suspended for not competing In
the Eagles games, for which he had
made no entry, has since been reinstated
by the N. T. A. A. executive committee.
He wishes II understood that he is not
waging any fight against the New Eng
land association or its officers.
The new organization will recognize the
Amateur Athletic union as the controlling
body IT. amateur athletics and will then
proceed to work I'm harmony. IL possible.
with the New England association for
the amelioration OF some OF the condi-
tions that at present work a hardship
upon the athletes.

SUGGEST MATTER
GO TO CONGRESS
Street Extension of S Street
Northeast Disapproved
by Commissioners.

Replying 10 members Of the North
Capitol Citizens Association who re-
quested that the necessary land be con-
demned for the extension Of street
northeast from Lincoln avenue 10 Sec
ond street the District Commissioners
yesterday suggested that the citizens
bring the matter before Congress at It's
next session
The Commissioners say a bin for the
extension OF = street passed both houses
Of Congress in January, 1891, but Il did
not commend itself TO them for the fol-
lowing reasons Two streets have been
opened up 10 the eastward OF Lincoln
road almost 20 Second street in the
original subdivision of this territory.
While these Two streets are narrow and
DO not run entirely through they lie in
such position as 10 make the adapta-
ton OF the holdings 10 a street along
the line of s street extremely difficult
and costly. Added TO these objections
Is the great amount Of grading which
would be necessary to bring the pro
posed extension down to Second street
involving considerable hardship to prop
erty owners on both sides of the street
except at the western end OF Lincoln
road.

The Corn HuSk Prophets.

In the midst of life we are in
death. and in the thick of summer
we are already in winter-that is. In
the estimation of those great men
of the back regions who give long
distance prophecies on the weather
by means of corn huslIs
BE il known 20 all the world that
this seasons coverings for the al
ready succulent and welI-deveIoped
cobs of delight are exceeding thick.
betokening in the philosophy of the
Sages of An Arandel and Westmo'-
land that the coming winter will be
a hard and phenomenally cold affair,
for which nature is getting ready
in her own unerring way.
We hope the corn husks are tell
ing lies. 4 hard winter means
added pTivation and death for the
poor: il means more disasters of
many sorts; IL spells ruin to many
human beings. Think of the bur
den of even one extra ton Of coal
to some families, Continued falls
of heavy snow are colossal nuisances
In the cities and matters of expense
even In the country. We do not
need the much-vaUnted "old-fash-
iOned' winter Of our fathers.
But something suggests hope. We
remember that last year all the
familiar signs-corn husl1s, goose
bones, acorns, fur, and the rest
indicated one of the most ferocious
winters that ever hit the globe. It
proved 20 be exceptionally mild and
open. Perhaps our husks may be
fallible once more.

Fighting the White Plague.

Washington viii have special in
terest in the selection of DR.. c. S.
MiIlet, Of Brockton, as secretary of
the new Massachusetts tuberculosis
commission because his appointment
makes certain that in the old Bay
State the fight against the disease
called consumption will be waged
along radical lines.
DR.. Millet has long been a worker
IN the field, and he, if anybody, can
be called the originator of the sleep
out-Of-dOOrs treatment. For nearly
ten years he has been preaching the
doctrine that climate makes little
difference in the battle for life of
a consumptive, but that sleep in the
open air, summer or winter, fair or
stormy. accompanied by plenty of
nourishing food, is the one way TO
beat off the white terror.
Il have never seen a bad result
from this treatment" he says. ct
Is sufficient, and have never known
a patient TO suffer from exposure
10 the outdoor air of the rigorous
New England climate, if properly
cared for"
The finest feature Of the Millet
system is its simplicity and ease of
application. Home cure becomes
possible, and even in tenement house
districts great good can be accom-
plished. OF course, city air is not
the best, yet even in town there is
SO great a difference between out
doors and indoors that persistent
living outside walls is almost like
going to a sanitarium.
We are moving with rapid strides
in the conquest of tuberculosis.
Given an early diagnosis and the
modern treatment, a very large per
centage of cases can be cured. What
was regarded fifty years ago as a
visitation of providence against
which il was vain 10 struggle, is
now as well understood as any dis
ease and almost as successfully com
hated
