Boston.-The records of the past 80
months in the class system of treat
ment of tuberculosis, conducted under
the auspices of the Emanuel church
of Boston, have just been compiled, and
they show so per cent of cures. The

departments of welfare work in the
poorer sec tions of Boston, arranged
about three years ago with the out
patient department of the Massachu-
sets Genera hospital to take up the
treatment of consumption under the
so-called class system, and has had
enrolled for 80 months about 100
patients.
The treatment is according to sani-
tarium rules and consists mainly of
fresh air. proper food. and such medi-
cineE as are essential.

American lars in Peru.

Lima.-Sunday was a day of sight
seeing for the American battleship fleet
lying in the harbor Of Callao. More
than 1900 of them came ashore during
the day. the majority of whom spent
that time in Lima amusing themselves
in visiting places of amusement and
buying souvenirs in the shops kept
open for their benefit. Others took
short excursions on the railroads to
nearby points of interest. while many
stayed close around the Bay of Callao.
The conduct of the thousands OF blue
Jackets and marines was admirable,
as they all seemed bent on getting as
much pleasure as possible on their
shore leave.

est and game preserves was q feature
of the speech delivered by William F..
Cody (Buffalo Bid at the fourteenth
annual dinner Sunday to the guides,
trappers, hunters and officials of the
Sportsmen's show. now in progress in

serves was more plentiful than ten
years ago, chief credit for this condi-

He favored forest protection if for
nothing else than as means of game

tongue and upper left jaw. with his
teeth all knocked out and his face
practically torn off by a bullet fired
by Tom Metcalf, is the result of

Mclean objected to having an irri-
CATION ditch run across his land. and
after the courts gave the Metcalfs the
right to run it there, made threats
against them.
Yesterday he carried out his threats

workmen and was probably fatally
wounded by young Metcalf. who

Denver phI!anthropIst Dies.

Denver-Mrs. j. b. +. Reynolds died
at her home In this city Saturday of
neuralgia OF the heart.
BY the death of Mrs REYNOLDS the
friendless child, the prisoner uniustly
accused. and the woman suffering the
pangs of poverty have each lost a sym
pathetic and loyal friend. Her most
striking characteristic was her bound
less capacity for extending tender SYM
pathy and aid to those in distress. The
most notable example of her interest
in those cvertaken by adversely was
the fight she made in behalf OF Antoine
Wood, the youthful murderer. 1t was
through her efforts that the boy got
parole and was given an opportunity to
show that he could make good man
of himself II given the chance.
Again, when Herman Linde pro
claimed that there was plot to rail-
road him to the insane asylum to secure
valuable pictures in his possession.
Mrs. Reynolds came to the rescue.
Noted alienists testified that Linde was
insane, but she secured him trial and
he was released.
She married ]. B. f. Reynolds. de-
partment manager of the Continental
Oil Company, some fifteen years ago,
coming here from the East about that
time. There has been no children as
a result of the match, but Mrs. Rey-
nolds has adopted fifteen to twenty
waits at different times. bringing them
up in her own house and eventually
finding permanent homes for them. A
brief but expressive tribute was paid
to her memory by Father William
O'Ryan OF St Leo's church when he
said, "She was always doing good
always"

A Genuine Compliment.

The Atlanta Constitution is a
Democratic newspaper, but It's poll
tics is of the broad and generous
kind which manifests itself in praise
for a good man, even if he happens
to be Republican; neither does it
withhold censure from a Democrat
il it thinks he deserves 1t.
The Constitution looks upon Sec
rotary Taft as a good man and ex-
cellent material out of which to fash
ion a president. The Constitution
is certain Mr.. Taft will be nominal
ed at Chicago and frankly expresses
the hope that he will. That paper
believes the south has FREUD in the
big war secretary and declares that
Taft knows conditions in the south
better than any Republican now in
public life unless it be President
Roosevelt.
IF the candidates are Bryan and
Taft" says the Constitution, 1.-The
south can abide the result with hope
for Democratic success, but equanim-
ity in the event of defeat. If the
verdict is for Taft there will be
much at which to rejoice in the
knowledge that the next president.
like Roosevelt, will be big. broad.
patTiotic American. of whom tho
whole country will have right to
feel proud"
This is a splendid compliment from
a Democratic newspaper which al
ways speaks Its mind and never talks
for effect. After all. the sweetest
flowers are those which blossom on
the garden walls of party politics,
and the wonder is we do not the
oftener enjoy their beauty and frag-
rance.

About the only thing the Demo
Gratis seem to have made up their
mind on for the coming campaign is
that everything done by the Repub-
licans is wrong and hurtful. While
critically blaming their opponents
for doing what they cannot do them
selves the Republicans will ride for
ward to victory in unity and har-
mony and the Demmies will find to
their sorrow ON election day that the
crop has been harvested while they
were sitting around on their haunch-
es waiting for the sun to come out
and the seeds to sprout.

The great political and sociological
question What is a Democrat?" has
not yet been satisfactorily answered
and indications are that it will not
be before the fall election. There
seems to be no tangible basis upon
which to postulate the smallest con-

now known as a Democrat. While
the blind followers of fallen cause

Send E. D. Smith TO The SENATE.
Some Good Reasons Why He Should
Represent South Carolina.

Some of the politicians have
charged that Hon E D Smith has
used the Southern Cotton assocla-
tian as means of riding into office,
but the thinking man, the farmer
the real producer of wealth and ever
the business man must admit that
the work done by E D Smith through
out the South and IN South Carolina
particularly, has brought more
money to the farmer, the merchant,
the doctor, the lawyer and every
other class than that of any other
man who has espoused the cause of
the South. His work has brought
results: the increased price of cot
ton which Mr. Smith and his assocl-
ates are largely responsible for
bringing about, has made the peo-
ple of South Carclina-all of them
more prosperous than they have
ever been before.
Mr. Smith attended the Unlversi-
ty of South Carolina and is an
alumnus of Wofford college. He
received his Masters degree at Van
derbilt University, the great Meth
odist institution of the South.
He comes of distinguished ances-
tors, being a brother of the lament.
ed Bishop A Coke Smith.
Mr. Smith is an orator of national
repute and would be able to hold
his own with the "giants' of the
Senate.

ic work in the committee room would
