Sprague's electric railway, however,
was about twenty years wide, and 1t
was filed with numerous attempts to
help the eager passengers to hurry.
The first cable road was laid in San
Francisco in 1873 by Andrew S. Halli-
die, Henry Root, Asa E. Hoevy and
William Eppelsheimer. The originator
Of the idea, however, was E. S. Gar
diner, Of Philadelphia, who suggested
the plan some time prior to the actual
building.
The cable served it's useful purpose
for eighteen years, when it was electri-
fed by the motor car promoters; that
is, electric conductor rails were strung
in the cable conduit and the wire rope
hauled out The dynamo had been per-
fected and electricity was a CONNER
cial motive power therefore, the cleo
trio street railway of 1888 was a sue
cess. Before that, attempts had been
made to operate street cars by various
kinds of magnetic engines. In 1885
Thomas Davenport, blacksmith, built
a railway in Springfield, Mass, over
which he operated car driven by an
electric magnet motor and twelve
years later Prof. Moses Farmer brought
out another electromagnetic motor, but
they never passed beyond the expert
mental stage.
The real beginning of the American
electric street railway system was the
Union Passenger Railway Of Richmond.
Va, equipped by Lieut.. Sprague and
opened for service ON the first day of
February, 1888. 1t was "troller" line
trolley" is the word in use now. CITY
officials soon saw the danger Of over
headwires in the crowded city, and their
precautions led to the underground sys-

horses made trips over this railway,
big stage coach, or rather three stage
coaches in one for there were three
compartments, each of which reSem-
bled a small stage coach. and it had
the name John Mason" painted above
the center door.
About twenty years later the Sixth
avenue street railway was built and
the street car craze began. 1t really
amounted to a craze, for thirty street
car companies began business during
the next five years. During the ten
years from 1860 to 1870 eighty-fve
street railways were built. The census
twenty years later showed 769 street
railways In operation. In two years
this number increased to 9S7.
The street railway was success,
therefore it was the object of various
attempts at Improvement, for in Amer
lea, whatever is a success must be i'm
proved People wanted to go faster
than the one poor horse could pull the
car, and so many were satisfied to go
slow that the little car the one horse
pulled would not hold them all. They
made larger cars and hitched two
horses to them, but two horses could
not go any faster than one horse since
they had doubled the size of the car
SO inventive genius kept the patent
office up nights examining their claims
for improvements in street railways.

Leading physicians have declared at
International congresses on consumption
that really effective warfare on the
great white plague involves compulsory
notification and registration laws or or
dinances Much can be done, not lit
tie has been done in the last two or
three years, by education and moral
suasion," but, after all, contend these
experts, the world must come to the
use of the same degree of compulsion
in it's fight on tuberculosis that has
been found necessary in the handling of
other dreaded infectious and commun1-
cable diseases. In other words, the
health authorities and the medical pro
fession must have the courage of their
opinion and work for the adoption Of
drastic measures of prevention. 1t is
significant that the New York Legis-
lature has passed bill-which Gov
ernOr Hughes has signed embodying at
least the principle of compulsion. The
new act marks a step forward. 1t pro-
vides that every physician in the State
shall report to the local authorities the
name, age occupation, place of employ
ment and address of every person
known by him to have consumption. The
report must be made within twenty
four hours, and the record is to be kept
secret. In case of the vacation of any
premises by person suffering from
consumption, or of the death of such d
patient, the physician in charge or the
owner or occupant of the premises must
notify the health board Of the fact, and
the premises are not to be occupied
again until they have been disinfected
and cleansed In case the orders of the
health board are disObeyed that body
may post placard on the premises con-
tanning the following notice: '"Tuber-
culOsis is a communicable disease.
These apartments have been occupied
by consumptive and may be infected.
They must not be occupied until the or
der of the health officer directing their
Ilisinfection or renovation has been COM
piled with. This notice must not be
removed under the penalty of the law
except by the health officer or others
duly authorized " There are other pro
visions in the act for the prevention Of
infection through careless habits, mott
fcation of the recovery of persons, etc.
A certain amount of discretion is
lodged in the health officers, but none
in those whose duty it is made to re-
port cases of tuberculosis in any stage.
Considerable difficulty is apprehended
in the enforcement of the act, and there
are those who fear that some sufferers
will hesitate to consult a physician and
be reported" lest the secrecy of the
| records be violated in some way. EX-
perience should throw light on such
questions as these. Meantime an edu
cational campaign will doubtless be
necessary to remove opposition to the
compulsory notification feature among
the more ignorant elements of the popu-
