WASHINGTON.-The nations capt.

cleanliness, and promises to prove
herself worthy example to the other

DR.. w. G. Woodward the past week

the laundry business of the city.
Every person who launders for pay

r. HE great number of mine accidents
l and the appalling loss of life there
from has prompted the United States
government to invite Great Britain,
Germany and Belgium to send their
leading experts in such matters to this
country to cooperate with the efforts
now being made through the United
States geological survey to establish
an experimental station at Pittsburg
and to inaugurate the work there of
testing explosives used in coal mining.
Congress at it's last session appropri-
ated $150,000 for this purpose, and
this sum has been turned over to the
survey.
1t is said that abroad mine ex-
picsives are tested, and those which
are deemed standard for the purpose
of mining are labeled PERI 6sible."

RAGING HAS MET ITS

The Reelection of Hughes

New York. Nov. 10.-The end of the
racing season in New York, on the
heels of the reelection of the Gov
ernor, whose, direct and particular
efforts are responsible for the enact
ment of the anti-betting law which
has cost the New York race racks
something like $2,000,000 in the rae
ing year that closed yesterday at
Jamaica course, left horsemen fair
ly well convinced that horse racing
in New York ended with the season.
The Jamaica meeting, like every
race meeting that has been conducted
in New York since June IL, the day
the anti-betting law went into eff.
feet, was conducted at loss, and the
officers and stockholders in the Me-
tropolitan Jockey Club, which CON
Quoted the meeting, knew in advance
that it would lose money The jam
aica managers, with full knowledge
of the conditions, managed to reduce
the loss to the minimum possible for
the maintenance of racing and their
loss was about $4,000 a day. The
losses at the other tracks since June
II made a much higher everage, the
maximum loss having been reached
at the Sheepshead Bay meeting,
where the top notch mark of $4,000

Can Help AiIlng Humanity

Application of the experiments per-
formed on dogs and cats to the
regeneration of ailing humanity is
In the announced opinion of DR.. Car
rel, entirely possible.
That is the end toward which
the scientists of Rockefeller Institute
who have been taking a leading part
in the worlds experimental sur
gerry since the Standard Oil master
furnished the means for the work
have been aiming all the time They
believe now they are about ready to
make the practical application OF
their discoveries.
Dr. w. w. Keen, who presided said
such operations as the replacing of a
kidney with a normal one would be
less intricate than the same opera
ton in a cat or dog, on account of the
size of the organ.
The chief obstacle to the practical
application of this new surgery, said
DR.. Keen, would be to find a healthy
organ when wanted.
Perhaps" said DR.. Keen, when
a healthy man is killed or where a
man dies from some disease which
does not affect his kidneys, it will be
possible to extract and keep them in
cold storage until 1t is possible to
operate upon some one suffering
from an incurable kidney trouble.
what has been done in the case
of the kidney is reasonable to be-
lieve will be found feasible in the
case of the other organs of the body
1t is impossible to foretell the ulti-
mate development of this wonderful
new surgery of which DR. Carrel is
the leading exponent
Already the knee joint from the les
of dead man has been used to re-
place the injured joint of living
person.
A woman too weak to undergo g
major operation has had her arteries
joined to those of her husband, ant
with the added strength of her hus.

Few Heard Last BugIe Call

plainly impossible that even the

But few of the men prominent in
the conduct of racing affairs braved
the gloomy and wintry weather to be

ing, and those who were on hand
could say nothing more than that they
hoped something would turn up or
some means be found of preserving
the sport. Philip j. Dryer, President
of the Brooklyn and the Queens Coun-
~ Jockey Clubs, and as the chief
stockholders in both associations the
man who has practically sole con-
troll of the two tracks, was the only
racing man with authority to discuss
the affairs of racing at the course.
Others simply said that the outlook
was the worst in the history of New
York racing, and would not even try
to suggest method whereby racing
as public sport might be continued
under the anti-betting law Mr.. Dwy-
er said he had no idea of what might
be expected for next season, but that
he hoped and believed that racing
would be continued

READY TO MAKE
OVER HUMANITY
Organs to Be Kept From the
Dead for the Living.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov 1O.-The
wonders of experimental surgery ac-
complished at the Rockefeller Insti-
tute for Medical Research, New York
City, were outlined today before the
opening session of the American
Philosophical Society in much great
er detail than they have ever before
been given to the public.
Among the latest achievements OF
science described by DR.. Alexis Car
rel, who has accomplished many OF
the most difficult experiments at the
Rockefeller Institute, was the trans
planting of one dogs leg onto another
dogs body
The fox terrier patient readily
assumed normal control of the new
leg, which was taken from a dead
dog and within three weeks the wound
showed only scar and the dog was
up and around on all four-three that
were originally his and one of the
late lamented other dogs.
The transplanting of a cats kid
neys into other cats, even after the
organs have been in cold storage six
ty days, has been entirely successful.
Human arteries and jugular veins
have been interchanged and the pat
tents haven't been able to tell the
difference.

WORKING FORCE
TO BE INCREASED
Estimate of $4,000 New
Jobs by Jan. |.

New York, Nov 10-From data col
lected within the last month from all
! parts of the country, the National
Association of Manufacturers has call
culated that before Jan. /, next the
industries of this country will add
| to their original woring force more
than 100000 men American indus
! tries, the official organ of the as
| ISOLATION, which will publish the data
today, says that its figures are con-
| sentative.
The National Association OF Man
ufacturers has 5000 members. In
the middle of October the editors of
American Industries sent out letters
to all its members asking about
| trade conditions at that time, pros
poets for the near future, and what
suggestions they had to make as to
means of restoring the country's
prosperity.
The editors of American Industries
then sent letters to its members ask
| ing them specifically how many adj
| ditional men they would set to work
Immediately IF nothing occurred to
shake commercial confidence" The
| flood of kilograms surprised them.
| These answers were held, however,
until after election. They are now
to be published
The percentage of replies received
indicates that an average of 1876 men
each will be added to the majority
of manufacturing plants in the Asso-
citation by December 1, say the edi-
tors. The percentages show that at
least one-half of the 5000 members of
the National Association of Manu-
facturers expect TO add to their
present force more than 10000
workingmen.
Taking this as a basis, if is safe
to assume that the 10000 manufac-
turers which, according to the census
of 1900, employed an average of 100
men or over, will add at least so
per cent to their present force MAX
inf total in round figures of $780,
600 men. In other words with the
continuance of business confidence,
the important manufacturing inter-
ests of the country will be enabled
to increase their present force by
more than half million workingmen
to meet the market demands for their
products"

THE LIBERIAN DREAM.
washington Post.l

The plan of a general exodus OF
American negroes to Liberia. atspro-
posal that received some prominence
when the Brownsville affair was at
white heat, is doomed to failure. An
investigator who was sent to Liberia
some time ago to study conditions
there sends back a gloomy report
that will discourage even the most
adventurous. 1t was the idea to
make a beginning by sending over
a large agricultural colony to pave
the way for the greater exodus, but
it is found that, while the land is
very fertile, there are neither roads
nor the other necessary internal inn
proyements essential to successful
agriculture. The expenditure of sew
.eral millions of dollars would be re-
CURED before 5he colony would be
self-supporting and the Liberian gov
eminent is upon the ragged edge of
bankruptcy.
Liberia is picturesque and pitiful
relic of the great anti-slavery strug-
gle OF the first half century of the
United States Philathropists thought
the establishment of this refuge would
solve the then acute problem of the
freed slave, and at some future day
of general emancipation furnish
haven for the American negro. 1t

was to be realized

.MODEL WIFE" is
ASKING FOR DIVORCE

Cincinnati, o., Nov. 1O.-Mrs. Eliz-
bath Geghart Clawson went before
Judge Hunt to ask for a divorce
on grounds of neglect and cruelty
The marriage was remarkable and
widely exploited because of the fact
that Clawson, by the terms of his
mothers will, was required to marry
some woman who should fit the des-
cription of model wife, as described
in that will, or he would be cut off
with a meager allowance.
Squire Dumont was named in the
will as judge of the bride. He decided
that she was all the deceased mother
could have asked. Thereupon the
sons allowance from his mothers
estate was doubled, and later increas-
ed again But the model wife now
charges that he failed to support her
and their child, and has disappear
ed, disobeying an order of the court
to contribute So a week for the child.
