River improvements Postponed.

The United States engineer officers in
charge of the improvements to the Poto-
mac river in this vicinity have. 1t is stated
postponed the work of dredging the Wash
ington harbor until the excursion season is
over in the fall. in order to avoid interfering
with the movements of the big boats. The
contract for the dredging Of the harbor was
awarded to the Atlantic. Gulf and Pacific
Dredging Company about nine months ago,
and under the contract the work was to
have been begun within thirty days after
the award The presence of the dredging
machineand its long line of pontoons in the
contracted space in which the steamboats,
have to turn around would have greatly In
terfered with movements. The embank-
ments on the unimproved portion of the
Potomac Park to the east of the railway
tracks forming the ponds into which the
material excavated from the harbor is to
be pumped. have been completed several
months. and are covered with wild vegeta-
ton of the kind that grows so luxuriously
on the park land.

TIE ATHLETIC FIELD
SESSION OF GERMAN-AMERIC
ALLIANCE AT NEWARK.

NEWARK. y. j.. July 9.-The most inn
portant work OF the German-American
Gymnastie Alliance In session here this
morning was the selection of Cincinnati as
the place of meeting two years hence and
the abrogation OF rule naming Indianap-
oils as the headquarters of the executive
beard.
st. Louis was strong contender for the
next convention. When delegates voice
in the rear of the hall said There Is dan
ger of a Bishops bill in ST. Louis" every
body laughed at the jocular reference to
Newark's dry Sunday yesterday. and a
chorus responded Cincinnati, Cincinnati.
The Importance of the step to keep In
dfanapolis as headquarters of the executive
board centers in the fact that the board
has the choosing of the officers of the alli-
ance. This board is composed of men from
the district in which the headquarters Is
situated, and rule forbade any city to
hold headquarters for more than six years
This was the rule rescinded in Indianapolis
favor.
Delegate Philip Rappaport, an attorney
of Indianapolis, presented the following res
olution. which was unanimously passed
Resolved That this convention approves
of the action of the executive board in pro-
testing against the prohibition of cam
teens In soldiers homes. and expresses its
sorrow that the protest was not needed by
congress we consider the measure an act
of useless cruelty and tyranny against the
veterans who rsked life and limbs for the
preservation of the Union, and are beyond
the age of education. We are of the opin-
ion that the action of Congress is not due
to any motives of conscience and morality.
but partly to blind and unreasonable faith
in worthless and dangerous dogmas and
theories controlling sound nAason and every
sense of justice. and partly to political
cowardice. overpowering individual convc-
ton and sound judgment
while we consider temperance and mod
GRAFTON in all things. the of alcohol in
cluded. morally and physically necessary
for the enjoyment of life, health and happl-
ness, yet, consider the theory that vir-
tue and morality be created by law
as dangerous and fallacious. and are OPP
posed to the vexatious and tyrannous iegis-
lation that is constantly forced upon the
people of this country by arrogant and
overbearing Zealots.
I've think it is high time that the free
and liberal-minded citizens of tbs country,
without difference of nationality, unite in
defense of individual liberty.

TO COMBAT TUBERCULOSIS.
Struggle Being Made Against the Dis
ease by Paris.

Paris is making a great struggle to COM
bat tuberculosis, according to a report to
the Department of Commerce and Labor by
Consular Clerk Inghram. The fight SO far
has resulted chiefly in the collection of
statistics showing the serious condition of
affairs from the spread of the disease, but
there has been little real progress made
In the repression of the plague owing to
the fact that there is no law compelling
physicians to report Of the presence Of
cases. 1t is said that the opposition to
this move comes from the consumptives
and their families on the ground that 1t
would deprive them of & living, no en-
ployer would willingly take consumptive
knowingly into his establishment. This
seems one of the most urgent reasons In
favor of enforcing such a law. But moth
ing practical has been done.
The statistics collected show what Is
known already, namely, that consumption
decreases almost regularly with the de-
crease In the density of population, Paris.
the most crowded city in the country head
ing the list with 45.2 per cent of deaths,
while the record runs down to 20.4 per cent
in cities of from 1000 to 5000 inhabitants.
An effort has been made TO have school
children afflicted with the disease carry a
booklet in which the physician could note
the progress of the disease with a view to
forcing the segregation of sufferers. But
nothing definite has been done in this line
so far.
One of the most interesting of the records
shows the prevalence of consumption in
various trades and indicates that not only
is the city open to constant infection
through the prevalence of consumption
among bakers. but that laundries where
soiled linen of all sorts is constantly han
died are one of the hotbeds of the dis
ease. The report says:
Laundry workers were found to be the
most seriously affected. In some neighbor-
hoods the mortality among laundry work
ers from tuberculosis reached the total CT
10 per cent So deadly is the handling of
indiscriminate soiled linen that young wo-
men succumb after average of fifteen
years while men last from eighteen to
twenty-five years
Various methods of combating the dis
ease have been suggested, among them be-
ing the use Of paper handkerchiefs. But
objection is made that unless there were
some systematic method taken of destroy
ing them, they would In all probability
prove a fertile source of contag ion There
has also been designed a paper cuspidor
with spring lid. vessel capable of being
burned after 1t has been used, and thus
destroying the germs of the disease But
no effort has yet been made to enforce
the use of such utensil.
