The Tuberculosis Congress.
E. c. oTWELL, Ed. and Pub.

Few things which mark the modern
progress of civilization have advanced
so rapidly as knowledge of the nature
and durability of tuberculosis. The
decision of physicians that the disease
is not hereditary has lifted a burden
of dread from thousands of hearts, and
the success of methods of treatment in
the early stages of the disease has
brought hope to thousands of others.
But far more important than this has
been. and will be, the work of bringing
about an understanding of the dangers
of the disease and impressing the ne
cessity of precautions. From Septem-
Der 81 to October I2 the United States
will be the host OF the international
congress on tuberculosis, which is to
meet in Washington. Mr.. Roosevelt
has lately accepted the presidency of
the congress. The occasion will un-
doubtedly be the most important event
that has yet occurred in the fight
against the dread disease. The con-
vention will bring together the most
noted experts of the world, and meth
DDS of treatment and prevention which
have shown the best results will be
illustrated. II will be as interesting
to the layman as to the physician, for
in the stamping out of consumption
much of the work will have to be done
by laymen-offfcers Of state and city
governments, the police, boards of
health and private citizens. 1t is to be
hoped, says the Youths Companion,
that the congress will also do some
thing to allay the groundless fear
which many persons have Of anyone
known to be suffering from tubercu,
losis-an attitude which frequently
renders it impossible to secure the
most desirable sites for treatment
camps or hospitals, and often results
in grave injustice, if not actual cruel,
ty, to the individual. If due precau
tion is observed, isolation is in no way
necessary. This, indeed, is the chief
lesson which those most familiar with
the matter are trying to impress.

WAS TOO MUCH FOR PAPA.
Childish Questions Were Becoming
Entirely Too Personal.

There is a member of the faculty OF
George Washington university, who,
to use the words of a colleague, is
as rotund physically as he is profound
metaphysically," says the Philadel-
phia Ledger.
One day the professor chanced to
come upon his children, Of which he

1T SEEMED INCURABLE
Body Raw with ACKNOWLEDGMENT
from Hospitals as opeIess-Cutl-
cura Remedies Cured Him.

From the age Of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owens life
was made intolerable by eczema in its
worst form. In spite of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as in.
Curable. We kept trying remedy
after remedy, but had gotten almost
past hoping for a cure. Six months
ago we purchased a set of Cuticura
Remedies. The result was truly mar
velous and today he is perfectly cured.

MORE COMPLAINTS.
About Railroad Mems Action Over In
 Brooklyn Section.

Again complaint is made by resi- dents of Brooklyn that the crews in charge of the engines on the railroad make a practice of squirting water onto pedestrians and throwing cin- ders at them. This is an abuse that demands immediate attention on the part of somebody and it is said that In case the mayors attention should
 be called to it he would see that it is stopped. Everybody will admit that the railroad officials wouldn't toler- ate this sort of thing for a moment. put so long as their attention is not called to it the jokers engaged in the business have free rein and from all accounts they appear to take a keen delight in sprinkling ladies' white dresses with dirty water. It is hard to believe that men would be so mean as to do anything like this, but the evidence Is so good that there can be no doubt of it. Why don't the ag- grleved parties send a communication to the board of aldermen calling at- tention to the nuisance or request the aldermen from their district to bring it up. In this way the matter would be brought to the attention of the railroad officials in a proper way and that will be the end of it.

 Standard Oil Co
PREPARING NEW CASE

Lenox, Mass, July 2S.-Plans for another great battle in the courts with representatives of the Standard Oil Go will be worked out here, among the peaceful shades of the Berkshire hills, within the next few days. Under the direction of At torney General Charles J. Bonaparte, who is passing his vacation time in Lenox, the first move in the new ac- tion which, it is understood, is to be brought by the government against the Standard Oil Go will be made here and the machinery of the depart ment of justice at Washington will be set in motion.
 This action following the recent decision of the United States circuit court of appeals at Chicago, setting aside the judgment of $29,240. 900 returned by Judge Kenesaw M. Lan- dis against the company, indicates that the announced intention of the administration to renew the proceed ings, is to be carried out promptly.
 MT Bonaparte will be joined to-day by Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota whose conduct of the previous action for the government brought him na- tional renown, and they will review together the present legal status of the case and discuss the details of further action. s-...
 For assistance in the case they will have the services of half score of trained lega. experts from the de- partmenU of justice in Washington men especially conversant with this particular branch of the departments work. These experts were also ex- pected here during the day.
 The government attorneys will be Quartered at the Hotel Aspinwall where Attorney General Bonaparte is a distinguished guest. A suite of many rooms has been provided for them, the previous occupants of the rooms having consented to make room for the department officials, and here it is,expected the work of arranging for the new legal proceedings will be begun. One of the rooms is large enough to serve as general council chamber and will be fitted up with such office furniture as may be need ed.
 It Is understood that accommoda- tions are required for ten men but the length of their stay is not known, and is designated merely as several days.

MEN LIKE THE CHURCH.
Complaint That Cigars and Moving
 Pictures Are as Bad as Lodge.

Atlantic City, July 2S.-Asserting that the mems church, in which hus- bands and fathers are allowed tc smoke and sit in shirt sleeves, is too attractive, score of women have complained to the Rev Sydney Good- man, pastor of the new idea congra- gation, that their male relatives would rather go to church than stay home. The protest took the form of letter read before the male congre- gation by the pastor. He refused to give out the names of the women who made the protest.
 Church is all right for men. but our husbands are staying out as late Sunday night to attend your services as they do on lodge nights" said the letter. We insist that some of the attractions be cut out or else the ser vice be cut down so they can get home in decent time"
 So pleasant have been the Sunday night meetings at the mems church that the attendants insisted on the service being strung out longer and longer, with It's programmes of mu- sic and singing. interspersed with moving picturess soft drinks and cigars. As result of the protest the meeting will be opened earlier next Sunday night and closed an hour earlier, which will allow all men to get home before 10 o'clock.

MONEY KINGS
Gould is Delighted 10 Have Hartman Interested in
 His Roads,
BUSINESS BRIGHTER

New York, July 2S.-George J. Gould, head of the Gould system of railroads on returning from Europe to-day said that nothing would give him greater pleasure than to have E.. H. Hartman in the directorate of the Gould roads. Replying to question whether MT Hartman would become director of the Gould system, MT Gould said: T cannot say except that nothing would give me greater pleasure than to have MT Hartman with us. We need all the help of railroad managers lot is not a par ticularly happy one. Some of the diamonds have dropped from our crown"
 MT Gould said he knew nothing concerning an arrangement for the payment of s8.00O,000 of notes of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad which fall due on August 1. Concern ing his own property whe said:
 We are not yet out of the woods" while business had not yet reached the volume of last year, he added, his roads were now doing normal busi- ness.
 MT Gould laid much stress upon the excellence of crop conditions which he said particularly affected the welfare of the Gould roads.
 Concerning the Standard oil de- cision he expressed unqualified sat- isfaction. ''I think,'' said Mir Gould that marks the turn in the business situation looking at it from the standpoint of railroad credit no h. ing did more to hurt this credit abroad than the huge fine assessed by Judge Landis-the foreign in- vestor felt that at any time his property might be confscated through no fault of his own. Judge Grosscup's decision again affirmed the American motto of flair play" MT Gould added that he thought the one to answer for corporate mis- deeds was some individual not the innocent stockholders.
 Mortimer l.. Sehiff of Kuhn, Loeb & Co was passenger on the Kron- prinzessin Cecilie with MT Gould but Mir Gould said that fact had no sig nificance.
 It was reported to-day that fol- lowing Mir Gould return there will be series of conferences be- tween representatives of the Gould interests, K. H. Hartman and Kuhn. Loeb & Go, and that as a re- suit the Gould roads will receive strong financial support and Mir Har- riman and Kuhn. Loeb & Go, will have a share in the management of the Gould system. Negotiations looking to that end are said to have taken place before MT Gould went abroad.
