Dogs In Germany.

The dachshund is the favorite dog in
Germany. and very useful and pleasant
companion he seems 20 be. The English
bulldog Is a good second in popularity
and the nearer he Is 10 our standard
points the better he is liked. The fox
terrier varies a good deal in size and
marking and is evidently not so wen
known in Germany as he deserves 20 be.

White PLAGUE IS
NOT DECREASING
Vigorous Campaign Being Waged
Falls to Check Scourge.

Washington, May 14.-That the
vigorous campaign against tubercu
losis has failed to check the great
white plague was the startling charge
made by Nathan Straus, the New
York philanthropist, at the fifth an
nual meeting of the National Associa-
tion for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis.
Mr.. Straus backed up his assertion
by official statistics from the New
York health department, showing an
increase of 33 per cent In two years
in cases of tuberculosis In the city
that DR.. Koch described as leading
the whole world in the fight against
the disease.
The reason for this failure to make
headway, Mr.. Straus declared, was
the neglect of the mischief wrought
by the tuberculosis dairy COW. Cit.
ing the results of scientific investiga.
tion and his own eighteen years ex'
perience in saving lives he summed
up by saying that the abolition of tu
berculosis will begin when il is made
q crime to sell milk unless 1t comes
from tuberculin tested cows or has
been properly pasteuriZed.

ACRID DEBATE ON IRON ORE

Consideration of That Schedule
Arouses the Maryland Man, Who
Declares That There Is Something
About the Tariff That Perverts the

Advocate Dingley Rates.
Washington, May 14.-After call
Of the senate had shown that sixty
three senators were present Mr.. Bur-
rows (Mich.) spoke in favor of a duty
IN iron ore as source of revenue
for the government. The present duty
of 40 cents ton, which the commit
tee proposes to reduce to 25 cents,
yields, he said, revenue of $4,000,
which would be lost by placing iron
ore on the free list, as proposed by
the house.
Reading the statistics of the iron
Ore industry Mr. Burrows said that it
was reasonable to state that at the
present time $500 men are en-
ployed, receiving wages amounting to
$31 100000, in the production of iron
ore, which industry, he says, it was
now proposed to open up to the COM
petition of the world.
Mr.. Burrows read a description of
extensive iron ore deposits in Cuba,
which, he said, belonged to the Penn
sylyania Steel company. This body
Of ore on the north coast of Cuba, he
said, was larger thaH the iron ore de.
posits of the Lake Superior region
and all conditions were favorable to
placing that ore on the market at a
cheap cost
Saying that if the senate should re-
1ect the amendment of the committee
on finance placing duty of 25 cents
ton on iron ore he would later move
to put that article on the free list Mr..
Rayner proceeded to discuss the iron
