UNCINARIA
Probablemente Ell traba 10 de mas
afecto practice, cientifico benefco
que jamas Sc emprendio en- esta Isla
es la campaf1a establecida para la su-
preston de la uncinaria anemia tro-
pical. El primero de Julio del aflo
pasado nombre una Comision COM
pnesta del doctor Pedro Gutierrez
lgaravldez, doctor Isaac Gonzalez
Martinez y del doctor Francisco Sein,
para llevar a cabo las disposiciones de
la ley saba y excelente aprobada por
los legislatures de Puerto Rico. Los
estuerzos de la Comision hasta ahora
han tenido gran exito. En- el semes-
tire que termino el primero de Enero
de 1907 hs sblanse tratado 2,,soo ca
SOS en- las veinte y sicte estacion es
que Sc han establecido por la Conf
sion en- toda la Isla. Ell costo total,
hasta ahora, incluyendo installation.
sueldos y medicinas. ha sido $40, 500
dollars. Ell resultado practice del
trabajo de la Comisi6n puede va no.
tarse en- los distritos del interior azo-
tados especialmente por esta enfer-
medad. Personas que emplean gran
ndmero de trabajadores me>han in
tornado que sus trabajadores, dcs-
pues del tratamiento, pueden hacer
mayor cantidad de trabajo del que
haclan antes y como consecuencia
ganar mas jornal. Sinceramente de-
SEQ que este trabajo Sc continde por
vuestra Corporation, y que una suma,
por 10 nenos igual la asisna ci6n
hecha el aflo pasado, Sc dedique q
este fin.

The following epistle was received in

not obey it's behest discounts some OF
the worst nonsense OF the kahunas.
Incidentally. Bishop Lawrence has re-

stop 1t:
This prayer was sent to me to be
sent to nine persons.
30 Lord Jesus Christ We fmplore
Thee o Eternal God to have mercy on
all mankind. keeping US from all evil
and taking US with Thee through eter-

This prayer was sent out by Bishop
Lawrence from Maine asking to be
copied to nine persons Those who will
not do this will have some misfortune.
He who will write this prayer for
nine days. beginning the day he re-

day experience some great joy. He

NINE DEAD z,
EXPLOSION DUE
TO FLYING DUST
ReSCuerS Recover Thirty
five Bodies From
WreckedGallerieS.

YOLANDE, Ala, Dec. 17.-Although
only thirty-five bodies have been recov-
cred this morning at tie YOlande mine,
it IS now known the victims IN the
explosion will number seventy-two to
seventy-five. The victims were horribly
mutilated- Half a dozen searching
parties searched through the night. and
today Chief Nine Inspector J. w. Gray
is directing the work.
The forces are now clearing away
ruins and taking out the dead from the
lower cross entries. 1t is believed all the
bodies will be brought to the surface
by night Scores OF volunteers are help
ing.
Rigid investigation viii; be started as
soon as the bodies are all brought out.
The explosion is believed TO have been
due to accumulation of dust, which had
not been properly sprinkled.
T. c. Huckabee, a company inspector,
who had completed an inspection
shortly before the explosion occurred
yesterday, seld the mine was IN splen-
did condition. That the death list is
no larger IS accounted for by the fact
that less than ore hundred entered the
mine yesterday morning, while the num-
Der employed is 125.
About two years ago 112 men were
killed in the SAME workings in a similar
explosion.

to Quit Work for In
definite Period of
Time.

Secretary OF the Treasury Cortelyou
IS seriously I'll at his home in this city.
DR.. Hazen. the attending physician. re-
ports that the Secretary is suffering
from an attack of grip. He Issued
orders that the Secretary remain in his
room for several days and must cease
the direction Of his official duties until
his health has improved.
The attack is regarded as unusually
serious on account OF the rundown con-
dition OF the Secretary, due to the long
hours OF labor to which he has subjected
himself last summer and this winter.
Before he went away for his sum-
mer's vacation on Long Island the fnan-
cial condition was such as to cause him
anxiety and he was busy all summer
working out plans to avoid serious
panic Back in Washington. after
months Of work instead OF rest he
bucIled down TO the most exhausting
labor, conference following conference
He was In his Office from 10 O'Clock in
the morning until 10 o'clock at night
and even worked on Sundays
Under all this he bore up wonderfully
until last week the accusations OF
treachery TO the Administration was
made His friends were apprehensive
then that he would suffer a break
down. For two or three DAYS he has
been complaining that he did not feel
well. but it was not Until late last night
when he left the department that he
realized that he could stand II no
longer.
Upon reaching his residence, DR.. Ha-
zen was. called and il was upon his
orders that the Secretary is confined 10
his home. The Instructions are that he
shall remain there a few days. bur
this period may be extended fndeanitelv
