patients who lost all their clothing
when almshouse No. was burned is
being solicited by the Hospital Aid as
sociation and the Associated Charities,
In an appeal to the public Mrs. John
F. Merrill. chairman Of the Hospital
Aid association, says:
When patients were removed to Inglesde
the city supplied q hospital uniform. suitable
simply TO be worn indoors and about the hospital.
Many OF the patients. however, are able to be up
and about, and should have regular street suits.
1t has never been the custom Of the city to fur
nish clothing of this sort to hospital patients and
there are no funds for this purpose. The Associ-
ated Charities and the Hospital Aid association
therefore appealing to the public.
1t Is asked that suits that are not clean
and in good condition be sent. This is especially
important. as 1t is the desire OF the hospital
authorities to keep the place thoroughly clean
and in a sanitary condition.
Any bundles may be sent to the Associated
Charities. 1900 jackson street, marked .'for city
and county hospital" Bundles should be marked
distinctly. 50 that they may not be mixed with
other donations.
Goats, pants, vests, hats, shirts,
shoes and collars of all ordinary sizes
for adults will be acceptable.

learned from an authoritative source that
it viii embody the following:
Currency legislation along the lines
OF the Aldrich bill
A new employers liability law.
A law limiting the power OF injunc-
tian.
Amendment of the Sherman antitrust
law so as TO permit traffic agreements,
pooling arrangements and other proper
combinations, under Governmental re-
strictions.

for an investigation Of the present tar
If schedules by Il commission, prefer

Committee OF the House and the Finance
Committee Of the Senate. with view
to revision of the tariff at. "a special
session OF Congress TO be held after
March 4. 1903
The announcement Of the President
was made after d lengthy conference at
the White House with Senator AldriCh
and Representative Payne and Dalzen-
1t is believed that for the most part
these agreed with the President in his
legislative program. There was some
difference of opinion as 10 amending
the Sherman antitrust law, and further
conferences on this subject viii be held
before the President sends in his mes
sage. The leaders in Congress feel thar
there are difficulties in the way Of
amending the Sherman law for the ben
eft OF the corporations without at the
same time granting the demands Of the
leaders of organized labor that unions
be exempted from prosecution as com
binations IN restraint OF trade" The
President himself is opposed TO any
enactment that would legalize the pTaC-
tlCe of bOyCOtting.

HORSE FLESH STEAKS
GROWING IN FAVOR

That the Fspugnance 70 horse flesh as
a common dish IN France Is rapidly dis
appearing is made evident By the fg-
urts which have been forwarded 70 the
Department OF Commerce and Labor by
Consul Chapman Coleman at RoUbaix.
France. Dir. Coleman writes that last
year the Roubaix abattoir furnished
the butchers with 1,s14 horses, weigh
ing LA, SS5 pounds. The general ia
crease in the consumption OF meat dur
ing 1907, Notwithstanding tile higher
prices, is accounted for by the large
increase in the consumption OF horse
flesh in 1901, although accompanied by
some decrease in the use Of other
butchers meats.
Mr. Coleman expresses the opinion
that the large and increasing consump-
uoc Of horsefesh would appear TO be
attributable not alone 10 its compare
lively low price. about one-third OF that
OF other butchers meats. but also and
chiefly TO the circumstance that re-
pugnance TO its use as a food article
has been largely overcome and IS rap
idly disappearing. This feature Of the
case is referred 70 In the French press
