Stockholm.-That eight million Am.
orleans are engaged in efforts tt
stamp out the white plague in the
United States is the statement of Ma.
than Straus, the New York philan-
thropist who presented a report al
the eighth International tuberculosis
Congress today
Mr. Straus told Of the active support
given the crusade by the American
newspapers, to the extent of 200 COL
umns day; of the increase of san
itaria, of the growth of the National
Association for the Prevention of Tu-
berculosis, and of its stand against
infected milk as a cause of tubercu-
losis.
Dr. Arthur Randolph Green, one of
the American delegates and medical
director Of the Straus pasteurlzed milk
work, presented Mr.. Strauss report
which was as follows:
'The international congress on tu-
berculosis held in Washington, D. c..
September 81 to October 12, 1908, with
the most extensive exhibition on the
subject ever assembled, had such stir
ring effect upon the public that there
are now enlisted in the fight against
the great white plague organizations
with a total membership of about s.
000 900 people.
"The exhibition continued in Wash
ington three weeks, in New York City
seven weeks, and in Philadelphia four
weeks, and was seen by 100000 peo-
pie.

Active campaigns are being con-
Quoted in every state, with the active
support of the newspapers. which de-
vote an average of nearly 200 columns
a day to the cause.
There are in the United States 29S
sanitoria for the treatment of tuber-
crlosis, so having been opened in the
past year, and there are 222 dispen-
saries for the special treatment of tu-
berculosis, nearly half of them opened
within the year.
The National Association for tn.
study and Prevention Of tuberculosis
reports over 2.599 members. As per
cent of them laymen. Besides. there
are 290 state or local associations de-
voted to this cause.

venting the sale of tuberculosis meat. |

Under the date November 81,
Marshall notes: about ten, Lady
Washington, attended by the
troop of horse, two companies OF

In May of the following year
Washington was in Philadelphia
again on the 9th of that month.
The diarist remarks: "Past two

sundry battalions of militia and
the recruits, which were drawn
up regularly with the troop OF

bly,, a number of clergymen, Off
GERS, etc., and a vast concourse OF
people, between 20 and 80 of the
Indians of the Six Nations" On
June 5 the generals and their
aides left for New York.
During the next two years a
great deal of the campaign had
it's scenes near the city. Part of
the time Philadelphia was in the
hands of the British, and in Octo-
Der, 1777, the battle of German
town was fought. While Wash
ington and his army were in the
neighborhcod, the old inns on the
outskirts of the town were visited
by him at times. In this

ASHINGTON was more closely identified
with Philadelphia than any other Ameri-
can city, and although more than CEN
tury has elapsed since his DEATH there
are in existence there more buildings held
memorable on account of the great Ameri-
cans visit than may be found elsewhere.
1t is true that the word tradition is often
very loosely applied to some of the tales
of Washington's visit to this or that house,
but, after eliminating all the suspicious
memorials there still remain very con-
siderable number-far more than the
average person appreciates.

it has frequently been
said that the portrait

has pointed out, was
not the case, and the

Washington was a guest

The war was draw

Washington was giving
it the finishing touches
in the south. He did
not appear in Philadel-
phia again until after
the surrender of Corn
wallis, when he visited
the city that he might
consult with congress
concerning the future
operations of the army.

in those days. He had been to the

duty at Boston. 1t was a military as

setting out to the frontier, for the

the majority of cases Washingtons
connection with the old houses is
limited to having taken a meal in the

other buildings identified with his
Philadelphia visits are those where he
was entertained, either publicly or So

Between 1857 and 1878 it does not
appear that Washington visited the
city, but in the latter year he passed
through Philadelphia on his way to
New York. where he placed his STEP

was more frequently seen there, and

The Negroes of this city are enti-
tied to just proportion Of the parks

is the duty of the Park Commission to
see to it that all the people of the

have the power to make them. There
is no law prohibiting colored people
from frequenting any park or play
ground that is the property of the
city, and no such law can be enacted
that would be constitutional according
to law. but it is the desire of the Ne
groes of this city TO avoid any cause
for agitation for such law regard
less of how unjust it would be. They
therefore do not frequent the city
parks. But it cannot be expected tina
such will continue to be the case
