TO FEED CRICAGO'S POOR
Land Will Be Provided So They May
Plant Gardens.

Chicago. Nov. 3.-Four hundred
needy families are to be put in the
way of raising their own food on va
cant lands in Chicago, next summer,
according to the plans of the City
Gardens association. That the pros
pective gardeners may understand
how to get the most out of their plots
of ground when they take possession,
the association will establish classes
in gardening this winter and furnish
instruction by lecture and demcnstra-
tons.
That was the project announced
yesterday by Miss Harriet Vittum,
leading spirit of the City Gardening
association, in a talk at the annual
meeting of the Outdoor Art league
THE gardens the land donated
by the International Harvester COM
pany, near the Bridewell, have been
so successful that next year we hope
to place 400 families on vacant ground
in the west northwest and southwest
parts of the city, said Miss Vittum.
I'VE intend to have classes during
the winter and teach them as much
as possible about gardening The re-
turns on the Harvester tract for the
season just closed averaged $25 for
each plot, and the expenses were onlv
Sc a garden. Ninety-five out of 100
al1otments were worked through the
season by those to whom they were
originally allotted. Forty of the plots
already are sold for next years use
and the rest are spoken for"

Carolina and in Georgia. In those
states he thought agricultural labor
ers should be examined with the pur-
pose of detecting the disease in it's
early stages, when he said it might be
arrested.
THE treatment of early pellagra
cases without mental symptoms" DR..
Sandwich said, "can be successfully
accomplished by putting the patient
on a liberal diet, excluding maize and
by Kidding him of the hook worms,
which are so often coexistant, but
the pellagros symptoms return if he
is allowed to resume a diet of musty
maize.
Various proportions of arsenic are
used in advanced cases, but when the
brain is attacked there is small hope
for the patient, unless by serotherapy.
Pellagra is essentially a disease which
cries for preventive measures"
In Italy, he said, the death rate
from this disease has been reduced by
preventive measures, although the
maize area under cultivation has in
creased from 5.79 to 6.33 per cent of
the entire country.

ROURKE SEEING THINGS.
Omaha Manager Expects Berth III
American Association.

Omaha. Neb., Nev. 3.-Wm. Rourke,
principal owner ofsthe Omaha baseball
team, has given ashumber of his close
friends a huneh tosthe effect that when
the baseball season opens next spring
Omaha may be in faster company than
during the past ten years. Already
Rourke has secured an option on
tract of land for q, new baseball park.
I Last year Rourke made big money
out of his team and right now he says
he is willing toy be liberal and spend
some of his dollars in giving the public
a better team than he had last year. If
he does this, he says, he must get into
tells his Omaha friends that he would
be forced to pay a fancy price, adding
that he does not care providing he can
get Just what he wants in the way of
a team.
AS Rourke has 1t framed up at this
time, he is anxious to put Omaha into
the American association, and he says
now in wants to let go but wants lit
tie too much money
All of the fans here are in high feath
er over the prospect of Omaha getting
into the big league and express them
selves as being fully convinced that the
team would be supported even better
than during the past few years, when it
has always been akmoney maker.
While Rourke is not finding fault
with the patronage of other cities in the
Western, he does not think it has been
sufficient to have justified him in put
ting in as good teams as people expect
ed. He says that he could have played
a team that would have increased the
attendance here % per cent, but it
would not have added a, dollar to the
gate receipts in the other cities OF the
league.

TOM JOHNSON LOSES.
After -Four Terms as Mayor He Is
Denied Fifth.

Cleveland, Nov. 3.-The official knell
OF Tom L. johnson. four times mayor
of Cleveland, was rung early today.
After working all night the board of
election commissioners. announced
that in his fifth mayoralty campaign,
Johnson had been defeated by Herman
c. Baehr
With one precinct missing at Z a. M,
the returns gave johnson 1882;
Baehr 41,285. With Johnson went to
defeat the entire city ticket except N.
D. Baker, city solicitor. who was re-
elected, and the new council Will be
strongly Republican.
WEAKNESS of the public over the long
delays in getting a definite and salts
factory traction settlement is credited
largely with Johnson's defeat. He,
however, declared the issue to be just
tax values and his strength in defeat is
shown by the election of four Demo-
cratic members of the decennial board
of assessors of real property. out of
possible five.
A subway franchise passed by the
Democratic council with Johnson's ap-
prevail was approved by the people at
referendum.

NEGROES WILL VOTE.
Attempt to Disfranchise Them in
Maryland Fails.

Baltimore, Nov. 3.-With returns
still far from complete. there is a
wide difference of estimates this
morning on the result of yesterday
city and state election
The one thing apparently safe to
say is that the proposed amendment
to the state constitution designed to
disfranchise the negro voters. has
been defeated.
The Democrats claim the legisia-
ture, insuring the reelection of
United States Senator Rayner. They
also assert that Comptroller Herring
is reelected by a margin of 10000.
This city, practically complete, gave
majority of more than 1900
against the suffrage amendment. The
returns from the county are very in
complete, but the precincts heard
from so far, indicate that the counties
