sick and wounded
The number of sick and wounded
includes only those who were regard
ed as unfit to be removed. They are
distributed among the various hospi-
tails of Przemysl in charge of Russian
phyicians, aided by 129 Austrian doc
tors and 100 hospital orderlies who
were captured when the fortress fell.
The captured stores and munitions
have not yet been completely inven-
torized. Much of the booty in the
fortress was concealed or buried and
Is only gradually coming to light. The
quntity, however. is said to be
enormous. Over nine hundred guns,
many of them still in good condition.

Austrian bayonets, which are highly
priced by the Russian soldiers as
knives. have been distributed among
the victorious troops.
The River San Is being dredged for
quantities, of arms and ammunition
which were thrown into 1t before the
city capitulated. Hundreds of SOL
diers spend their idle hours fishing
for this booty with hook and line or
with a small graphing hook dragged
through the water from a row boat.

FAKE MEDICAL MUSEUMS.

BY the arrest Of the proprietors
and the closing of a score or more
free medical museums the police of
New York have struck at a swindle
which should have been suppressed
long ago. The purpose OF these places
was to get rich quick by frightening
people into giving away their money
as the price Of recovering from some
dread disease from which as a matter
of fact they were not suffering and
Of which they had no symptoms, ex-
cept such as were created in their
imagination by the statements OF the
fakirs.
BY going about It In a carefully
studied manner 1t is possible to i'm
pose upon a large number Of patients
through fake physicians and false
methods of diagnosis as Is shown by
the declaration that the most i'm

have had $4,000 clients and that it
requires but a short time to amass
large sums from the guliible can be
readily understood, especially when a
chain of such offices Is maintained

Conditions in Berlin.

An American banker who has just

party of English neWSpaDermen on his

rather different idea of the state of at

most of the English newspaper com

PROTECT THE HILLToPS.

It must be admitted by all who are
Acquainted with the existing condi-
tons that the property in the hill Sec
tions of Norwich is sadly in need Of
better fire protection. Houses on
Lambs and Jail hills have been COM
pletely destroyed because Of the fail
ure of the existing gravity water sys-
tenn to furnish sufficient pressure to
enable the firemen to do efficient work,
It is a condition to be encountered
at almost any time and with full res
ervoirs even the water pressure can
not be considered satisfactory for fire
lighting purposes.
How to remedy this has been
Thought over for long time and it
can be readily appreciated that the
statement of Fire Chief Stanton is a
most sensible one when he declares
that a motor driven fire pump would
ne the cheapest and most advisable
acquisition Norwich could make for
the solution of this problem. Nor
witch has had valuable object lesson
In connection with motor fire appara-
fus. It is the only apparatus with
which q city with the topography of
Norwich should be equipped. 1t Is
the most economical and most eff
Client. 1t permits OF speed without
over-driving horses and 1t ts as close
by in touch with the hilly regions as
with the rest.
With an auto pumping engine one
of the big handicaps in the way of
present fire protection would be eff
fectively and cheaply removed. There
ought to be no question over the ne
Ecessity of providing such apparatus
Ht would only be providing such pro-
lection as the residents of the hill
sections are paying for and which
they are entitled to, though the SER
vices OF such an engine would by no
means be restricted to any one Sec
Hion.
