fatal case of tuberculosis.

BADLY BRUISED
Gross Neglect Charged
by Miss Howard
Against Insti-
tuition.

Charges of indecency or careIessness
against persons connected with St Jo-
seph's Hospital. New York city. are be
ing made by Miss Minnie L. Howard,
of al East Capitol street. whose brother,
William Z. Howard, died at that hos
pital Friday Of tuberculosis.
''Indecency and almost criminal neg
ligence on the part of some one Of that
hospital staff or of parties to whom
they surrendered the remains can be
charged for the way in which the body
Of my brother was prepared for burial
and sent to this city, said Miss Howard
this morning.
I'VE had word from the hospital Sat
urday that my brother was dead she
continued, ''and the body was sent yes
erday. Imagine our horror TO find that
the body was scantily covered with
dirty sheet and a coat. Aside from
these. there was absolutely no clothing
on the body, and 1t had been allowed to
toss about in the coffin.
Il don't think 1 have ever heard OF
such gross neglect of the common de-
cencies which are supposed to be accord
ed to the dead. To treat a body in such
a way is almost criminal"
Whether Miss Howard will take steps
to have the treatment OF her brother S
body investiga ted. she refused TO say.
Mr. Howard wes thirty-seven years
old and had lived IN New York for five
years during which time neither his sis
tar nor his aged mother who lives with
her. had seen him. The mother is Ill
at present. A simple burial will take
place in Mt Olivet Cemetery this after
noon Mr.. Howard was born in Column
bus. Ohio. but had lived in Washington
most of his life until about five years
ago.
His mother, Mrs Annie NJ. Howard; q
sister, Miss Minnie L. Howard, and a
brother. Joseph E. Howard, survive him.

PARALYZED JyST NOW

NEW YORK. Feb. 26.-Probably never
In the history Of cotton has speculation
been so completely stagnant as il is now.

business.
The time to lay low behind brestworks
is here The commission broker at

IN face OF existing conditions would ind

The Midland railway project, of
which much was said a few years

Crookston the other day. 1t is a
big enterprise having in view the
construction of a railroad from
Winnipeg to Galveston, Tex, and
ultimately through Mexico and
Central America to South America.
The north end will probably ex-
tend to the-North Pole. The road
will pass through North Dakota,
where surveyors now are at work,
touching Cavalier, Crystal and Park
River, and perhaps Larimore. Work
will be commenced next year when it
is expected long stretch of road ir
Dakota will be finished.
