of diagnosis. Its employment as a
remedial agent was a lamentable fail
ure, and resulted in deep disappoint-
ment to hundreds of thousands of
patients and their friends whose hopes
of a cure had been raised high. The
failure of it gave a pessimistic tinge
to all medical thought on tuberculosis
so that the majority of doctors would
today scout any announcement of a
cure, even if it came with high au-
thority. They will hardly believe the
report of DR.. Ellis Bonime, who has
applied a method of tubercuIin admin

Hoping for Appointments.

Hoping for Appointments.
Reports from Washington. from a
source that is altogether reliable. are
nlinistration will take up the matter of
making appointments to federal positions
| in this state. This is expected to be an
important factor in politics this fall when
representatives are to be chosen.
There has been a great deal of COM
plant all over Virginia over the hold
ing up of appointments, and out in the
ninth district, where the offices carry
much weight and influence. there are
been expected to be relieved from
service for months. many of them
having made arrangements to enter
other lines. But the powers at Wash
ington have been holding off. Per
haps this has been due to fractional
fights and to the disagreement between
the senators and members of the lower
branch
State Librarian McIlwaine is expected
to go to New York the first of the COM
records and ancient manuscripts stoler
from the state Immediately following
the civil war, when the capitol building
was infested with soldiers, camp fol-
lowers and the like from the federal
army. These documents and papers
Were taken at that time and no trace
whatever was had of them until the
heirs of Benson ]. Losing. the his
torian, advertised them for sale. He
mad bought them from persons fol-
lowing the restoration of order in Vir-
ginia- and did not know that they were
stolen. When these facts were made
known to the heirs they at once agreed
to surrender them without any trou-
BILE, and agreed to return them to Vir-
glnia intact on condition that the state
pay the amount spent for them and
the expenses for advertising. This
the state has agreed to do. and Mr..
McIlwaine will make the trip to get
possession of the papers and return
them to the library.
Defeated for second time in their fight
to get a coordinate college at the Univer-
Sty of Virginia, the women of the state
announce that they will renew the
fight once again. During the time in
tervening between this and the next
legislature they are to make an active
campaign and to quiz the voters as tc
their attitude on the subject. The
women have no votes, but they have
influence, and this will be directed for
the candidates who agree to support
the bill when it comes up again.
Under the new law of the state all
officers receiving fees will be required
to keep a set of books showing the
exact amount of their collections. They
are required to pay all in excess of
$500 into the treasury of the state.
The officers do not relish this at all,
and the chances are that the deputies
and others will profit a good deal by
reason of the operations of the law.
The expenses of deputies are to be paid
before there is to be any part of the
fund paid into the treasury. and as the
officers in many instances have several
deputies the chances are that their sal
aries will be given a boost before the
state sees cent of the money which
has heretofore gone to the officers.

but it is now learned that the line will
be extended this spring from Harlem
