ALTITUDE CONSUMPTION CURE.
Scientists on Pike's Peak Find Great
 Increase in Resisting Power.

Colorado Springs. July 2s-A discov- cry Of importance in the fight against tuperculosis has been made by the British and American scientists who are conducting blood experiments on the summit of Pike's Peak, it is off, c1ally announced
 The discovery of Drs. J. A. Haldane and Gordon Douglas of Oxford and Drs. Yandell Henderson of Yale and E. c. Schneider of Colorado College is suggested In this official statement: As far as the work has gone we nave been able to show that the lung cells themselves become better devel- oped through work at these attitudes This is of great importance in the question of tuberculosis. The total amount of coloring matter in the blood of the human body is largely increased at these attitudes.
 The tests have also corroborated the discovery that the white cor puscles, which are able to devour tu- bercule bacillus, have already increas-. ed in our blood by 50 per cent. The of this discovery will hard ly be appreciated by the public, but doctors all over the world will readily see that it is one of the most signifi- cant ever made in the fight against

ORGANIZED LABOR IN ENGLAND Preparing to Test the Friendship of
 the Liberal Party

London, July 28-The industrial in-
 surance bill, which. has been introduc-
 ed in the House of Commons, has had
 an effect upon the political situation
 in Great Britain which was not fore
 seen by the author of the scheme.
 Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lloyd George.
 1t has been the means of urging hundreds of isolated labor unions into the national federation and into the Labor party at a time when organ ized labor is preparing to fight for its existence as factor in politics.
 It will be recalled that the law lords of the House of Louls more than a year ago affirmed what is known as the Osborne judgment N hich made it illegal for labor unions to levy polit- ical assessments upon their members without their consent. Prior to this judgment the majority rule had pre- vailed. It was recognized that, un- less the judgment could be reversed, it would be impossible for the unions to send representatives to Parlia- ment
 Lloyd Georges inaurance bill pro- yides that unions may furnish ], the for collecting premiums and paying out provided they have a membership of not less than 10000.
 There are hundreds of unions in VT Cdl DTIldlA WHICH Have U0V0T dI- fliated with the national federation, or even with other unions in the same crafts. The men employed in the electro plating industry. for example, are split up into dozen organizations, all more or less hostile to each other The total number of union electro p1aters is, of course, far in excess of the requisite 10000.
 As all the unions are anxious to handle the insurance money, they are aff1liating as rapidly as possible and SO adding enormously to the total pO- itical strength of organized labor.
 The government has a Trades Union bill which is partial reversal of the Osborne judgment, and, though. the abor leaders are not fully satisfied with its provisions, they have allowed It to pass it's first and second readings without contest on the understand ng that it will be open to amendment ] on its third and final reading. The pill will come up for final passage asl soon as the Parliament bill has be- come law.
 This will be the real test of the Liberal party's friendship for their al- ies in the coalition, the Laborites. If the government resists alterationI ,f the bill, the Labor party will promptly introduce a bill of it's own, short, easily-understood measure which demands simply that labor un-Il ons shall be their own masters in politics and that they may levy polit-. cal assessments on all members if l 'uch be the will of the majority.

IRISH M. P.'S NEAR FIGHT. William O'Brien and Thomas Lundon Exchange Insults in Commons.


 London, July 2S-There was a lively interlude from the Nationalist benches Tn the House Of Commons yesterday afternoon in the form of an exchange Of insults, which, had it occurred any where else, would certainly have led to a personal encounter.
 William OBrien, leader of the Inde- pendent Nationalists, complained to the Speaker that he had been insulted by questions put by Thomas Lundon, Nationalist member for the East Di- vision of Limerick, who asserted that O'Brten was descendant of ''the most blackguardly informer that ever appeared in Ireland.''
 When Lundon refused to retract the statement O'Brien shouted: tsYou are an infamous liar and scoundrel!''
 Lundon made dive for the Inde- pendent leader, but friends seized his coattails and the incident was closed It had indicated, however, how base less are all the reports of a truce be- tween the Nationalist factions.

BURNING OF BILLIONS
But It Saves Only About Two Tons of
 Soft Coal

Washington, July 28-ssMoney tc
 burn''-that old slang phrase which SC appropriately describes the position ol
 the chronic spendthrift-may now be
 applied with unusual aptness to Uncle
 Sam. Not that the paternal gentle
 man. has streak of spending money.
 for he has recently become particu-
 larly economical, but because he is
 now engaged in burning more than $2, ,O0O, ,0O0, 900 worth of money.
 A large number of queer materials have been used for coal in times gone past, but this is the first time that there is any record of two billions in real money being fed to the flames in order that a building may be heated and the elevator machinery may be run properly
 The s2,O0O, 100000 now being burned represent nearly the entire wartime issue of government bonds, the s7-30'' variety, including those issued for the national bonded debt up to the year 1898, when several new war issues were made. A large portion of the bonds now being used for heating pur- poses in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, were originally used in lieu of actual currency, the Union soldiers being paid off in these bonds after the war. They were dubbed seven thirty's" because they paid 7.3 per centS interest, the highest rate ever paid by the United States govern ment.
 When it was decided that this inn mense issue of bonds should be de-. strcyed, the committee in charge of the work at first ordered that they be macerated. The bonds were so large, however, that the macerator refused to work and an effort was therefore made to cut them up into small pieces But the paper on which they are printed is too tough to allow of this operation and therefore burning was the only method of destruction left Accordingly, orders were given that they were to be mixed with the coal and burned in the furnaces of the same building where they were first printed. It is estimated that the en- tire issue of bonds will save the gov ernment the price of only two tons of cOal-and soft coal at that

PURCHASE OF DISCHARGES
From the Army-What It Costs the
 Men to Get Out

Washington, July 28-The recent case
 or George Curry, the United States
 soldier who sought his release from a $l3 month job in the army in or
 der that he might accept an offer of
 $200 a. month to play ball with the attention upon the procedure neces- sary for soldier to throw off the
 DuHden of military discipline
 It is not generally known that the
 War Department permits hundreds of soldiers annually to purchase their re- lease from the army before either en-
 1stment terms have expired So nu- rehef that regular scale of prices, depending upon the length of ser vice, has been drawn up This is allowed only in time of peace, how ever. In case of war, all applications for discharge would be refused
 No applications for discharge by purchase are entertained unless the applicant ;l @ has served at least one year Tn the army. The price of discharge after one years service is $120 The ngure then decreases with each year Of service, as follows: Two years, s1O0: three years, $90; four years, $88; five years. $80; six years, s65; seven years, s60; eight years. s55; nine years, $40: ten years, s35; and after il years, s30. H4ily uOlidTS ,S the n1n1mum.
 Soldiers buying their discharge from the army must also sacrifice any and all travel allowances due on discharge. Tn eases where it is shown that the soldier has relatives or others depend ent upon him, that he has made con- trfbut1ons to their support from his pay, and that these are insufficient For their maintenance, the purchase price may be remitted. Many cases of this sort are encountered, especial " where a soldier has entered the army without any one dependent up ons him, and subsequently,, through deaths or otherwise, he becomes the only source of support of relatives.
 It is not the policy of the depart nent to grant discharges by purchase when there is any special reason in his case to the contrary, or wen here is trifling reason, or no reason It all, in support of his application.

CHAPTER XXXVI.
The PaIo Alto Ball.

A beautiful woman pleases the eye, a
good woman pleases the heart; one is a
jewel, the other a treasure.-Napoleon I.
On the evening of that following day
in May, the sun hung red and round
over a distant unknown and along
the Rio Grande. In that country, no
iron trails as yet had come. The mag
ic of the wire, so recently applied to
the service of man, vas as yet there
unknown. Word travelled slowly by
horses and mules and carts. There
came small news from that far-off
country, half tropic, covered with
palms and crooked dwarfed growth Of
mesquite and chaparral. The long
horned cattle lived in these dense
thickets, the spotted jaguar, the wolf,
the ocelot, the javelina, many small
er creatures not known in our north
ern lands. In the loan along the
stream the deer left their tracks, min
gled with those Of the wild turkeys
and of countless water fowl. 1t was
a f~ar-of, unknown, unvalued land.
Our flag, long past the Sabine, had
, halted at the Nueces. Now it was to
advance across this wild region to the
Rio Grande. Thus did SNUG James
Polk keep his promises!
Among these tangled mesquite
thickets ran sometimes long bayous,
made from the overflow Of the greater
rivers-resacas, as the natives call
them. Tall palms sometimes grow
along the bayous, for the countr is
half tropic. Again, on the dryer
ridges, there might be taller detached
trees, heavier forests-palo alto, the
natives call them. In some such place
as this, where the trees were tall,
there was fired the first gun of our
war in the southwest. There were
strange noises heard here in the will
derness, followed by lesser noises, and
by human groans. Some faces that
night were upturned to the moon
the same moor which swan so glori-
ously yer Washington. Taylor camped
closer to the Rio Grande. The fight
was next to begin by the lagoon
called the Resaca de la Palma. But
that night at the capital that same
moon told us nothing of all this. We
did not hear the guns. It was far
from Palo Alto to our ports of Gal
weston or New Orleans. Our cockaded
army made its own history In its own
unreported way.
We at the White House ball that
night also made history in our own un
recorded way. AS our army was add
ing to our confines on the southwest
so there were other, though secret
forces which added to our territory IL
the far northwest. AS to this and al

and bottom of the map. "Al, all,

they will have their own!"
We listened to her silently, credit
ing her enthusiasm to her sex, her
race; but what she said has remained
in one mind at least from that day to
this. Well might part of her speech
remain in the minds to-day of people
and rulers alike. Are we worth the
price paid for the country we gained?
And when we shall be worth that
price, what numerals shall mark our
territorial lines?
May I carry this document to Mr..
Pakenham?" asked John Calhoun, at
last, touching the paper on the table,
please, no. Do not. Only be sure
that this proposition Of compromise
will meet with his acceptance"
Il do not quite understand why you
do not go to Mr.. Buchanan, our secre-
tary of state"
Because l pay my debts" she said
simply. Il told o that Mr.. Trist
and l were comrades. l conceived it
might be some credit for him in his
work to have been the means of do
ing this much"
HE shall have that credit, madam,
be sure of that" said John Calhoun.
He held out to her his long, thin,
bloodless hand.
Madam" he said, Il nave beer mis-
taken in many things. My life will be
written down as failure. l have been
misjudged. But at lea& it shall not
be said of me that l failed to rever-
ence a woman such as you. All that

you, was more thai true. And did l
not tell you you would one day, one
way, find your reward?"
He did not know what he said
but l knew, and l spoke with him in
the silence of my own heart, know
ing that his speech would be the same
were his knowledge even with mine.
