STATISTICS OF PNEUMONIA.
Census shows II Next to Taberculo-
sfssin Number of Fatalities

sistin NuTaber of Fatalities.
The latest federal statistics, covering
the year 1904, show that pneumonia stood
next 10 tuberculosis in the number of its
fatalities. During that year 800 Amer
leans died of pneumonia. ana since then
It is regarded as probable that the death
rate has been ON the increase from this
cEuse. As 70 per cent of the persons
suffering from pneumonia recover, it is
apparent that there are about 10000
cases of the disease in this country each
year, and those who once have it are
thereafter disposed to further attacks,
differing in this respect from smallpox
and some other forms Oh virulent disease
which leave immunity behind them.
The most approved treatment for pneu-
monia now. according to the official re-
port on the disease, includes the placing
of the patient in bright room, with
plenty of outdoor air circulating, and the
application of water externally and inter
nally, with such simple diet as milk, eggs,
rice and BROTH Many physicians employ
ice packs or the chest and head. All
the rest is left to nature, which, unaided
otherwise, must make the fight against
the pneumoeoccus germ. The disease is
found to run a regular course, and moth
ing can be done to hurry or hinder its
progress, which is from three to seven
days after the attack on the lungs. In
the old days pneumonia patients were
imprisoned in hot, close rooms and doped
with whisky and powerful drugs, but all
that is now done away with by the best
physicians. 1t is found that the condi-
tons which favor the approach of pneu-
monia are chills, lack of sleep, overviolent
exercise, overeating, and particularly in
diligence in alcoholic beverages. Scien-
tihc experiment confirms the common ex-
perience that the man who drinks is a
brighter mark for pneumonia than the
one who does not.

DYNAMITE BOMB IN COAL.
Effort to Wreck Mine from Which
Fuel Was shipped.
NATIONAL LEAGUE.

A bomb made of dynamite, big enough
to wreck building, was found in load
of coal being delivered to an East End
knitting mill in Cleveland. The police
are investigating whether an attempt was
made to blow up the mill or whether an
effort had been made to wreck a mine
from which the coal came. There are
300 girls employed at the knitting plant
Police were rushed to the scene, and there
was so much excitement that work was
suspended for the afternoon. There has
been no labor trouble at the factory, and
the police believe the bomb came from
the mine, and no attempt was made to
wreck the factory building.

DELAY OF MINUTE COSTS LIFE.
Girl Too Late to Release Friend
from Suicide Agreement.

A delay of one minute cost the life of
Marie Botkin, aged IS, who committed
suicide in Lima, Ohio, according to evil
dence unearthed by the coroner. He says
he believes Miss Botkin and Miss Flossie
Swigert agreed to die together at a. m.
At one minute after o'clock Miss Swi-
CERT phoned Miss Botkin, but the girl
was found lying unconscious in her room,
having taken carbolic acid. The coroner
says he believes Miss Swigert weakened
at the last minute and called up her
friend to release her from the suicide
agreement. Miss Botkin had been guest
of Miss Una Kerr in Lima. A telephone
call from st. Mary's resulted in the dis
covery of her body. A voice asked TO
speak to her, and when the Kerr family
went to her room upstairs they found
her dead. with bottle of carbolic acid
by her side On her dress was pinned
note reading: "Good-by. l hope my in
surance will pay all expenses. Don't let
any one in to see me"

Mayor Schmitz's Crime.

The crime for which Mayor Schmitz
was convicted was the extortion of ST.,
ITO from Delmonico's French restau-
rant in January, 1904 Just before that
time a morality" crusade was begun
against the French restaurants, and IL
censes We're withdrawn for alleged VIC
lation of the laws
Then came a general investigation of
these resorts, which resulted in the de-
termination of the supervisors and
Mayor to force them to close by can
ceiling their liquor licenses. This
meant ruin for most of the proprietors,
as they could not operate without the
privilege of selling drinks.
After several months of agitation and
investigation, it was decided by the re
formers that all those places that COM
piled with certain rules should be al
lowed to reopen. Then came the ex-
pected applications for licenses from
the reformed places. These applica-
tions were placed on file and in due
course were taken up by the police
commissioners, but for some reason
none of the licenses was granted
Attorneys appealed in vain to the
commissioners and supervisors, but the
applications remained on the file. Fin
ally the restaurant men made common
cause Of their cases and raised fund
to hasten the granting of the licenses.
Appeal was made to Ruef, who for the
consideration of a fee of about $4,000
to secure the licenses.
There was more delay. but after a
time the required permits to sell drinks
in private rooms were granted and the
reform crusade was at an end. 1t was
shown on the trial of Schmitz that
Ruef was paid most if not all the prom
ised fee of the restaurant men and that
he divided this money with Schmitz.
Schmitz received in all $4,000 from this
graft fund, according to the statement
Of Ruef.

Three women are dead and two men
seriously injured as the result Of the
burning of the four principal buildings
of the Shaker settlement at Whitewater
village, near Harrison, Ohio. Fire was
discovered in the main building, proba-
bly, originating from a defective aue. The
flames spread with great rapidity and the
means for fighting fire being inadequate,
there was no hope from the start of saw
ing the structures. Mrs. Kuele Dear,
Katherine Steer and Mary Middletown,
three aged women who occupied quarters
in the main building, were burned to
death before any one could arouse them.
Charles Sterr and Andrew Bass, in max
ing their escape from the burning build
