 In the case of Catherine Morgan, the lid of the eye became so infla med that it hung down upon her cheek. The physician in charge of the case conceived the idea, so great was the suffering of the little one, of letting nature takes it's course. Nature was more than willing to perform a cure, and the child is now almost well.
 Agnes Morgan, another baby sub jected to treatment, was so injured that in order to see, she bends her little head downward, turns it side ways, and squints frowningly upon the object in which she is interested.
 It is not impossible, as a result of the tests, that the children. some of them, may develop tuberculosis. Both bovine and human tuberculin were used. Bovine tuberculin is the kind that is given to cows Tubercu- lin. is the discovery of Koch, g. cele- brated German scientist. Its utility has been in dispute for many years.

 Philadelphia, April 19.-As the result of indignation growing out of the inoc- ulation of many children with tuber- culin the entire medical staff of the home for children, which is under the management of Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul, have resigned. The physi- cicians are all connected with the VII liam Pepper Clinical LaboratO Ory, o1 the University of Pennsylvania.
 The children were known as "hu- man matcrial.'' to the doctors. For the purposes of experimentation 160 or phans and dependent children were us- ed Into each of them tuberculin, see if there would be a reaction, which some doctors claim, will show whether the subject Is tuberculous.
 Tuberculin has been ordered in many states as test for consumption in cows. But recently the test has been forbidden, by law, in states where it had been long in use, because it was found to promote consumption in the herds and to be practically valueless as a test.
 The practice, which is akin to vac cination for small pox, was accom- pIished in number of ways. It was scratched in as in ordinary vaccina- tfon for small pox- It vas rubbed m to the flesh in combination with grease. It was given hypodernically and, final horror, was given by ab- sorbtion through the eye.
 The doctors made an official report of their work, in which, incidentally, they admitted that it should never have been done.
 Under the caption Material used.' In this official report, Is the following: Practically all our patients were under eight years of age, and all but twenty-six of them were inmates of St. Vincent's Home, an institution with a population of about four hundred, composed of foundlings, orphans and destitute children.
 ''The cases in the home were tested in routine by wards, irrespective of the conditions from which they were suffering, and in the great majority of instances without any Knowledge of their physical condition prior to or at the time the tests were applied.

Mayor Buckingham sent to the coun- cil last night a message advising in vestigation into the matter of the Fair field avenue macadam pavement. Up on motion of Alderman Griffin the committee on Streets and Sidewalks was empowered to conduct an inquiry, afrd report to the next meeting of the council, May 2. The committee may call for persons and papers. The pavement was laid about two years ago by Director c. F. A. Biltz. The State highway commissioner refused to accept the road upon the ground that it was improperly constructed. The Mayors message follows:
 Gent1emen:-
 I desire to lay before you. for such action as you may consider best, the matter of rebuilding the road on Fair field avenue, west from the railroad section of Fairfield avenue is in a. con- dition which demands immediate at tention and will have to be repaired or rebuilt at an expense of several thousand dollars. The circumstances which have given rise to this situation, termined, are perhaps familiar to you all. This section of Fairfield avenue was completed but short time ago and was built under the supervision of the State highway commissioner at the joint expense of the city and the State.
 As permitted by statute, the city put in a bid for the work of building this road. The contract was awarded by the highway commissioner to the city Director of Public Works, Charles F. Bi1tz. MT. Biltz has been quoted in the press as stating that the road was built at the grade desired by the high

way commissioner and in conformity with his directions, and that the city should not now eXpend any additional money in repairing this highway.
 The highway commissioner and his inspector, on the other hand, disclainl all responsibility for the defective and unsatisfa ctory condition of the road, and place the blame with the Director of Public Works.
 My recommendation to you is. that sideration by the committee on Streets and Sidewalks for the purpose of de- ternining if possible, where the re- sponsibiIity lies. This committee, un- der the charter, has power to summon witnesses and should make a full and thorough investfga ton.
 After the committee has determined the question of fact, if it is possible to do so. as to who is at fault for the existing condition of said section of Fairfield avenue, would suggest that the matter be then taken up by the committee with the City Attorney to determine what legal remedy, if any, is available to the city.
 The committee should then report it's findings and recommendations to this body.
 I would also urge that if any action is to be taken by the Common Coun- cil that it be taken promptly, because the work of improving the road is be- ing deferred by the present Director of Public Works, MT. Kenny, pending action by your body.
 As Fairfield avenue is one of the most important highways in the city, it should not be left in it's present objectionable condition any longer than necessary.
 Respectfully submitted this 18th day of April 1910.

 Mayor

BECKENDORF SLATED
FOR TIGERS BACKSTOP

San Antonio, Tex, March 11-Manager
Jennings intimated today that he had
practically decided to make Beckendorf.
the regular Tiger cat cher this year. He
stated that Mullin ana Beckendorf would
be the battery for the first game and
that Beck would be given a course of
training affording every chance to make
good. Jennings has seen scores of games
slip away through poor backstOpping in
the last three seasons and wants no more
of 1t.
Jennings also has decided to use prac-
tically none but cub pitchers in the ex-
hibitiOn games and in the early league
games except that Mullin will fill his
usual heavy quota of April and May as
sgnments.
Pernall, the giant left-hander, who
pitched part of Sundays game, made
most favorable impression with Jen-
nings. Detroit needs new and reliable
southpaw badly and Indications are that
Pernall will stick.
