berculosis. Other national organi-
cations of women have given
favorable consideration to the
campaign against tuberculosis.
One of the most notable cam
paigns which is being carried on
by the women is that in the
Southern States in connection
with the travelling exhibit of the
National Association for the
Study aud Prevention of Tuber-
culosis. In Tennessee, Florida
and Alabama, whole States have
been stirred by the activity of
the women's organizations. In
North and South Carolina plans
for similar campaigns are now
in progress.
A large number of women
occupying prominent positions
in society or on the stage are
taking an active interest in the
anti-tuberculosis campaign. Mrs.
w. K. Vanderbilt has recently
given a million dollars for sani.
tary homes for consumptives.
Mrs, Keith Spaulding of Chicago
has erected a sanatorium for the
Chicago tuberculosis Institute
at a cost of about fifty thousand
dollars; Mrs. Coils P. Hunting
ton and Mrs. Borden Hartman
have given largely to the con.
sumption fight. In Porto Rico
Mrs. Albert Norton Wood, wife
of a prominent army officer sta
toned at San Juan, has stirred
the entire island through the
anti-tuberculosis crusade she
inaugurated. Nine. Emma Calve
is a most enthusiastic worker,
and has given largely of her tai.
ent and money for the relief of
tuberculosis sufferers, and Miss
Olga Nethersole has even lectur-
ed before the public on tubercu-
losis.
And the fight is not only being
carried on by women organized
in clubs and by the wealthy wo.
men, but by the working women
in the general labor movement a.
gainst tuberculosis, and by the
women who are battling hand in
hand with the disease in connec-
ton with the religious and phil
anthropic organizations of the
country. The special tuberculo.
sis nurse, too, is a recent add.
ton to the fighting force enlist.
ed against consumption, and al.
most all of these are women. Nc
city campaign is complete with.
out such a nurse, and on this &C.
count hundreds of them are de.
voting their lives in unselfsh
service for the relief of human
suffering.

TO
RAILWAY GRAB

The council last night showed a
disposition to make the railroads
come through with concessions be-
fore the franchises now on file for
approval are granted. At commit
tee of the whole meeting last night
protests came thick and fast,
making Roadway impossible until
clearer plans are secured. The
North Coast and the Great North
ern applications for lines west of
the city were chiefly discussed,
and it was finally decided to have
plan covering the proposed lines
of both companies prepared in or
der that the council could get some
idea as to what was wanted.
A committee consisting of Lam
bert, Schiller, Dalke, Engineer Raj
ston and Corporation Counsel Allen
will meet with property owners
and the railroad officials at the
Whittier school April II.
The council has come to the con-
clusion that the railroads want ev-
erything they can get and show
no disposition to pay for anything
or provide suitable street cross
ings.
The application Of the Great
Northern to close streets between
Fourteenth avenue and Greenwood
cemetery will cause a hot fight,
and the North Coast application to
close streets in the western part
of the city has met with protests.
The protests against the 1de
avenue plan of the North Coast
was made a special order of bust
ness for April 20 and the applica-
ton of Spokane, Columbia & West
ern, was set for April %.

part in the discussion last night in

Coast and l.. c. Gilman and Will

Where Was the Deacon?

Deacon Jones, the great man of a
little village of Massachusetts, whose
outward piety was of the vociferous
order, but whose charity toward his
fellow men was not as abounding as
it. might have been, was dangerous
ly i'll, and his brother deacons, i'm
pressed with the custom of issuing
bulletins from the sick room of

low the fashion, with the following
results:
&c p. m. Deacon Jones is in Sc
rious condition
q p. m. Deacon Jones has raj
lied slightly"
80 p. m. Deacon Jones has suf-

eli p. m. Deacon Jones has de-

night; but early in the morning some
unregenerate mortal who did not
love the deacon, evidently passed
that way, for the light of new day

Hits Wife With Axe.

Bowman, Feb. 23.-What will
probably be another case of wife
murder occurred about three and
one-half miles from here yesterday
Jake Summers, negro about 80
years old, struck his wife on the
back of the head with the blunt end
of an axe and as result she is now
at the point of death. Summers was
Immediately arrested and was lodged
in the guard house here. The States S
correspondent interviewed him this
afternoon and Summers account OF
the affair is as follows:
That his wife had told him that
she was going to leave and that
when she did leave him she would
see to it that he was killed. At about
~ o'clock to-day she told him that
she intended leaving him and she
then LEFT the house with her belong
ings. That as soon as she left he got
the axe and caught up with her and
struck her a blow on the back of the
head.
When asked if he intended killing
her, he said that it was a case OF
self-defense, for If he had not hit her
she would have come back at some
future time and killed him.
Summers heretofore has borne a
fairly good reputation, but he has
always been looked upon by some as
weak-minded. He seems to be per-
fectly satisfied that it is a clear case
of self-defense.
