KING EDWARD Is NO
LONGER STRONG MAN:
CONDITION SERIOUS

LONDON, March 16-The condition
of King Edwards health is beginning to
cause serious alarm. 1t is not so much
that his life is considered in immediate
danger as that he is showing signs of
a general breakdown. An originally
prodigiously powerful constitution has
hitherto appeared to make his majesty
almost impervious to the effects of
work and Worry-none the less genuine
because more or less of a social char
2cteT-as well as Of dissipation during
his younger years, under which most
men would have collapsed long ago.
There are Indications now that EDWARD
himself is weakening under them, and
at his age, there are the gravest fears
that a permanent rally is too much to
expect
The subject is one considering which
definite information is, of course, hard
to get. The court physicians will not
talk at all, politicians in closest touch
with the royal household deny any feel
ing of uneasiness over the sovereign's

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Devel.
opments in the rate war between the
Boston &. Maine and the eastern trunk
lines haze become serious
In February the Boston & Maine
filed a transfer with the interstate
commerce commission reducing by one
cent a hundred pounds the freight tar
if on import commodities, bound to
western points in this country. That
tariff becomes effective today
The tariff eliminates the differen-
tials that hitherto have existed be-
tween Boston & New York, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore.
To meet this rate the Boston & AL
bany, one Of the New York Central
lines has filed a tariff with the com
mission, taking effect on March Is.
Thus far. the other trunk lines have
not met the rate, as they can do So
only through arrangement among
themselves. The war may have far
reaching consequences, as it is a con-
test for supremacy in the handling of
import traffic among the most power
full of the eastern railway lines.

Nevada's Vast Copper Supply.

RENO, New, March 16-If the state
of Nevada had no other entry in the
lists for honors among the great cop
per camps of the world, her standard
would be in safe keeping with Ely
and her position assured among the
states of the vast mineral empire of
the west as one of the great-per-
chance the greatest-of all producers
of the red metal, says the Nevada
Mining News. For here, along the gil
gantic mineral district, there has been
blocked out an aggregate of something
like 5O,0O0,00O tons of commercially
valuable copper ore, while the latent
possibilities in the shape of probable
ore occurrences are so tremendous it
is difficult task to even approximate
their extent.

IrlShmen prominent in the move

have been investigating the charges
made in England of wholesale frauds
on the pension rolls, and this is the
conclusion that they have reached con-
corning the accusations of irregu.
larity But they realistically offer the
British government one grain of com
fort. In Ireland, they say, the old
are rapidly dying off, while, as they die
no one else is growing old to take their
places. So far, therefore as the
Emerald Isle is concerned, it is de-
clared there will soon be perceptible

All the Poor PensIonabIe.
To the English representation that
Ireland is receiving more pensions
than it has pensionables, the Irish re-
ply that the pensions were granted on
definite and generally accurate infor-
nation, while the number of pension
ables was merely timcted-under-
estimated. That almost every man and
woman in the country of pensionable
age is poor enough to be entitled to
pension is conceded.
It was from the most poverty
stricken of the rural districts that the
Irish investiga ors into the situation
got their first intimation that the
problem of providing pensions for the
aged poor among their countrymeh
was likely soon to solve itself through
the failure Of the supply of persons en-

TIONS JOIN I'M FIGHT AGAINST
WHITE PLAGUE.
Notable Campaigns Have Been Made
All Over United States by Churches
of Larger Cities.

NEW YORK, March 16.-Within the
past four months the churches of ovel
100 different cities in the United States
all the principal religious denOmina-
tions. and several interdenominatior
societies, have united in campaign
against consumption. according to a
statement issued by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis.
Notable campaigns have been con-
Quoted by the allied churches of New
York, Brooklyn. Pittsburg, ST. Paul,
Milwaukee, Washington. Chicago, Pro-
violence, Baltimore, Trenton, Seattle,
most of these places a special Sunday
has been set aside on which sermons
about tuberculosis have been preached
I'm the various churches. SO success
full has been this method of declaring
the gospel of fresh air. that it is be-
ing adopted by pastors all over the
country.
In several of the larger religious de-
nominations definite resolutions by
some of the local ministerial organiza-
lions, allying these associations with
the tuberculosis movement, have been
adopted
Foremost in the fight against con-
sumption is the Roman Catholic church.
In this church, under the direction of
Archbishop Ryan. of Philadelphia, an
educational crusade against tubercu-
losis is being carried into all of the
parochial and other schools in it's con-
troll. AS result over 1880, 900 school
children in 1900 parishes are being
reached. The clergy of the church have
been asked also to instruct their con-
gregations on the dangers and methods
of preventing tuberculosis, for the pur-
pose of bringing the simple doctrines
of the cure and prevention of this dis
ease to every one of the II 100000
The Church Class.
The work of religious bodies in the
war against tuberculosis received a
great impetus in 1905, when Emanuel
Church, of Boston, under the leadership
of DR.. Joseph H. Pratt and Reverend
Elwood c. Worcester, started a move
ment for the treatment of tuberculosis
patients in their homes under the SUI
pervision of the church AS the pa
tients held weekly meetings at .--
church for instruction and advice from
the Physicians in charge, the organiza-
ton vas called q class. So successful
was the EmanIePs class's first years
work that many other churches
throughout the country have followed
this example, and tuberculosis classes
have been formed in a large number
of cities, in many cases, independently
of church organizations. There are
now about fifty regular classes in ex-
istence. over One-haIf Of which are
conducted in connection with churches.
The activity of the church, however.
as center Of education in tubercu-
losis. is of much more recent growth.
In fact, almost all of the preventive

that it was looked into at first hand,
ana on the strength Of the statistics
gathered it is said there is little doubt
concerning the accuracy of the predic-
ton.
None to Take Their Places.
Taking as an Illustration the Ross
district Of County Meath, it develops
that five out of rs old age pensioners
have died since the law went into eff
feet, and that there are neither any
others to take their places nor any
VINO will qualify for long time.
The investigators turned to the mar
rlage and baptismal registers for en-
lghtment and Immediately discovered
that while six or seven weeks is now
the average interval between weddings
and between christenings. in the early
'4O's both marriages and baptisms av-
eraged three or four weekly. Lent was.
Of course responsible for a break in
the continuity of the record of mar
riages, but Immediately following it
was invariably found that a CORE
spondingly large number Of entries ap
peared-the names of couples who had
been awaiting the, expiation of the
holy season to enter into wedlock.
"The people are as Jealous as ever
in their observances," is the explana-
ton of Father Barry, the parish priest,
but now they leave the country be-
fore they are old enough to marry,
and their marriages and the baptisms !
of their children are recorded else
where.
"They emigrate to Canada or Amer
lea, or go to England or Scotland, and
only the old are left. That is why |
there are so many applicants for OLD |
age pensions in Ireland, and it is also
why, as the old folk die, there are no
others growing old to claim pensions
in turn"

CHURCH CRUSADE
ON CONSUMPTION

| eGucatio work of the churches mas
| been accomplished in the last four
/ months. The National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis estimates that there are now
over 10000 church congregations to
whom the message of the prevention
! and cure of tuberculosis mas been
preached and the number is increasing
daily.
Campaign UndenominationaI.
! The religious campaign is not only
terdenominational The Young Mems
Christian Associations, for instance.
has started an active crusade against
tuberculosis. Through it's physical de-
partment instruction is being given
concerning the nature and dangers Of
consumption to all of the men and boys
who come under that branch of the as
ISOLATION. Educational lectures are also
being held in many of the associations,
and, in general, the campaign against
tuberculosis is being linked with the
general crusade for a sound body and
a sound mind.
The United Society of Christian En-
deavor has also taken an active in
terest in the tuberculosis propaganda
At the international Convention of
that body, to be held in ST. Paul from
July to II, one of the large tubercu-
losis exhibits of the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention Of
tuberculosis will be on display. An
active campaign Of education will be
carried on among the 10000 delegates,
who will act as missionaries in further
spreading the message The tubercu-
losis exhibit will be shown by the side
of missionary and other social and
civic exhibits.
This campaign among. the churches
and religious organizations is only a
special instance of the widespread in
terest in tuberculosis, which has en-
listed within the last year the efforts
of such organizations as schools. labor
union, Women's clubs, commercial in
situations, state legislatures, the press.
and almost all of the organized civic
and social societies. By all of these
organizations one sermon is being
preached, namely, that consumption is
a communicable disease, that it can be
prevented, and that it can be cured by
fresh air, rest and wholesome food.
