Supplying a Demand.

Some of our serious minded con-
temporaries, through their dra-
matte columns, annually bewail the
fact that Francis Wilson descends
10 horse play upon the stage and
makes horse play, as they phrase it,
his chief purpose and achievement
They admit with sadness that he
has talent, but they insist that he
prostitutes it, and they intimate
that he takes unwarranted priv
ileges with the work of his poor au-
thor.
All of which is sadly true. No
body knows that any better, in all
5 probability, than Mr.. Wilson. lie
has mad long and at times expensive
( experience behind the footiights.
He is gifted intellectually. 1t is
possible that his. personal prefer
I ence is for something fervid and oc-
casionaIIy solemn, with here and
there a touch of humor so fine that
lit involves discussion as TO whether
1t be humOr or pathOs.
Mr.. Wilson knows his public. He
: has experimental with il on occa-
siOns. He knows what it wants and
what it viii not have. Because he
: has learned that, out of the fulIness
! of time and study, he is engaged to-
day in supplying what his admirers
wish to have and is content to sup
ply the demand. In that fact all OF
us, except, possibly, the critics, may
: find a lesson of some value and aic
in everyday life.

PadereWSki'S Throat
Cut by Razor While
Valet SLAVES Him

CINCINNATI, Jan. 6.-Ignace Pade-
rewski, the famous pianist, had q mar
row escape from death. But those who
fretted and fumed at Music Hall be
cause the pianist was an hour late did
not know about the accident.
Paderewski was being shaved by his
valet IN his private car, which had
been detached from the train in the
railroad yards here. when switch en-
gine bumped up against the car. The
jolt sent the razor into the musicians
throat.
Fortunately, the valet turned the blade
sufficiently TO avoid any vital spot. al
though a considerable cash was inflicted.
An attempt was made 10 keep the &C
Cident secret
According TO the valet, the car was
moved TO and fro without any nOtifica-
ton 10 those inside, even after the acct
dent had happened. Paderewsi lost
considerable blood. but no serious re-
suits are anticipated
The narrow escape so unnerved him
that il was an hour before he could re-
gain his cOmpOsuTe sufficiently 10 90 TO
the hail. which he did with his throat
in bandagcs.
He would not permit HIS attendant to
complete the shave, so he appeared half

GiZZard Jewel Box
OF Turkey GObbler;;
Had Fifteen Pearls

NEW YORK. Jan. 6.-Fifteen pearls,
Of an estimated value Of $4,000 were
found in the gizzard Of a turkey COB
bier yesterday morning by Mrs. G. Nc
Neice, Of 2TS7 Broadway.
The find was the result of Mrs. Nc
Neice's custom Of examining the gizzard
of every turkey or chicken which she
has bought since she came to Sew York
from California. ten years ago. In that
State it was not unusual to find a gold
nugget or a small bit OF silver mingled
with fowls teeth"
How the pearls came to be in the DOS
session Of this particular turkey has not
yet been ascertained. It is the opinion
Of the butcher from whom she bought
It Saturday, and who now mourns the
fact that he did not clean" the turkey
for Mrs. AIcNeice. that it belonged to a
farmer who was casting pearls to his
swine when the turkey happened along
and appropriated them. Mrs. McNeice
believes the turkey made a dinner of
oysters New Year Eve.
Mrs. McNeice. whose husband Is the
proprietor of a florist establishment at
the Broadway address was extracting
the turkeys giZZaTd when she heard
something in 1t rattle. 1t did not sound
like that OF the usual stones the gizzard
contains.
Il think I've found something at last 9"
she said to her daughter, and when she
slit the organ fifteen little white pebbles
rolled out with other stones. She picked
one of them up and scraped off a chalky
coating that covered il with her finger
nail, and then shouted: WHY. they are
pearlsr' And sure enough, that is what
they proved to be.
Mrs. McNeice has been extraordinarily
lucky in finding valuables recently.
Within the last two years she has picked
up on the streets and in department
stores a diamond pin valued at 500. a
ten-dOllar bill. pearl button and Il
quaint Japanese lOcllet of gold. At other
times, so numerous she SAYS that she
has forgot to count them, she has found
small and large coins in the streets.

Dread tuberculosis.

OANAA AADGANuAOOlCa
Mankind's most insidious and
deadly foe today is tuberculosis. 1t
claims more victims than smallpox.
cholera or typhoid, yet it attracts
less attention. One case of rabies
is enough 10 excite a whole State.
Six cases of smallpox cause public
alarm. \ dozen cases of typhoid
arouse general clamor. But every
one of these eases may recover and
the infection be confined TO them.
At the same time there may be
100 cases Of tuberculosis with a per-
centage of seventy TO ninety against
their recovery and with the proba-
bility that these 100 cases viii di-
rectly endanger the lives Of 1000
others. Where is the alarm? Where
is the clamor?
tuberculosis Is a disease that
takes its time. \ friend is stricken.
Our sympathy and anxiety are at
once aroused. Months pass. lie is
missed from the ordinary walks of
life. His fever-infamed cheek no
longer haunts US. His hacking
cough no more annoys our ear. We
inquire. He is about the same,
There is nothing spectacular about
the disease. 1t is a slow,
steady, heartbreakingly hopeless
q fight against odds. Our anxiety is
luIled by the quiet nature of the
mortal battle that is being fought.
4 year passes. The victim is for
gotten, so long has he been out of
our life. The end is near, and when
it comes it is the passing of one
who has long been dead so far as
any consideration IN our active,
workaday world is concerned.
Herein is found the reason for the
public neglect of this danger. Our
eomplacency in the face of its raw
ages is bolstered up also by the fact
that it is contagious but not in
tfectious. and by belief that it brings
a calm and peaceful end to its suf-
sferers. Calm and peaceful-with
an agony toward the end that no
( opiate can subdue! Calm and peace
.fuI-with knocking visions of recov-
cry alternating with an assurance
of death stronger than the galOws
gives the condemned murderer!
+ Naturally, the first step TO be
taken in the fight against tubercu-
.losis is one of prevention. This
means to keep yourself healthy and
strong. TO breathe fresh air and
avoid contamination. You are then
safe from tuberculosis.
The one thing that viii insure
your. escaping contamination is also
the first step toward cure of the
victim. 1t is simple. 1t is the
prompt discovery Of the presence of
the foe. If an examination is made
npon the development of the first
symptom and the disease correctly
diagnosed as tuberculosis the
chances all favor recovery and are
all against the disease being COM
municated in this case to anyone
else.
This is what is proposed to be &C
complished by a bill drafted by the
District Health Officer to be intro
duced at this session of Congress.
1t provides for the registration of
tuberculosis in the District and for
the free examination of sputum in
suspected cases.
By it every physician is required

BRYAN MAN IN MICHIGAN
FIGHTS TO HOLD POWER

De- ROT, Mich, Jan 6.-Daniel j.
Campau, Democratic national commit
teemc.n from Michigan, does not intend
to sit idly by and watch the Wayne
anti-Campau hosts wrest his prestige
from him. Already he is planning 10
fight for a place as a delegate-at-large
from Michigan TO the national conven-
ton at Denver and he Will have the
strength Of the Bryan boom behind
him.
Mr.. Campau s in close touch with
the Bryan leaders or other States, par
tiCularly Illinois. and is said TO be plan

Dick, which he no longer controls. But
the Taft leaders are satisfied that after
the Republicans OF the whole State have
voted, February II, for their Presiden-
tai choice, no districts will fly in the
face Of such a sweeping verdict. Their
confidence in the result, and the evil
dent purpose of Foraker TO fly this

eral primary. II is to Offset the effect
Of this general primary, too, that For
alter and his friends are talking about
boiling conventions. They want to meet
the argument that the Republicans OF
Ohio have voted for Taft with the claim
that they did not participate in the con-
test and that, consequently, il was no
real. test.
Under cover Of this and other similar
tactics they hope to keep alive their
opposition after the primaries are held
Moreover Il must be remembered thar
the fight made by Foraker and Dick has
been a no time Waged with the hone or
success in OHIO. Their bOldest cham
piOns have not claimed that they could
carry the State convention or win a ma
jOrtty OF the delegation. Their object
has been TO keep - an opposition i'm

candidacy elsewhere. So. when the Tan

claim that an Ohio primary has demon
