The establishing Of small ira

this contagious disease Of the eyes
is prevalent presents the best solu-
tion Of the trachoma problem, ac-
cording 10 the statement contained
in the annual report Of the Surgeon
General Of the United States Public
Health Service. The Service now
has five trachoma hospitals in the
three states Of Kentucky, Virginia
and West Virginia, and so great has
been the number Of applicants for
treatment that waiting list has
been established. Tn the past fiscal
year 1900 cases Of trachoma have
been treated. the larger proportion
Of which were cured, while those
in which cure was not effected
have been greatly improved and
rendered harmless 10 their assso-
ciates. The great majority Of these
trachoma patients were people who
lived in remote sections far remov-
ed from medical assistance, and
who, but for the hospitalscare and
treatment provided. would have re-
mained victims of the disease prac-

LINCOLN, THE spy, HAS
Time TO THINK IT over
Is Resting In Solitary Confine-
ment In Jail.

New York. Feb. 21.-Ignatius T.
Lincoln, benighted spy, is resting in
solitary confinement in the Raymond
street jail, Brooklyn, thinking over
the snappy things he had written.
twitting the federal authorities about
his own elusiveness previous to his
capture.
He was held absolutely incommuni-
cado. Orders were given by First
Deputy Marshal Parry and by J. A.
Baker, acting head Of the local once
Of the special investigators of the de-
partment of justice. not to permit him
to receive or send out any message or
to hold converse with anybody.
Federal agents under Mr.. Baker
were continuing their inquiry along
lines that may bring further arrests
in connection with Lincoln's escape
and harboring in various places.
The line Of inquiry is directed in
four different ways. First. into the
details OF escape; secondly, the per-
sons who gave him lodging or helped
him during his freedom; thirdly,
whether he had any direct communica-
tion with the newspaper that received
letters from him and whether he re-
ceived money from the editors; fourth
iy. whether any money from the pub
fishers got into his hands after his
escape through various mediums.
Lincoln has announced that he is
ready to tell. He has refused, how
ever, to give the name Of the chauf-
feur, who, driving a seven seated tour
ing car, stopped in front of the Hof-
brau Haus. at Broadway and Thirtieth
street. and was handing Lincoln sew
eral baggage checks when the latter
felt a revolver boring into his ribs.

with the disease the hospitals have
been used for educational work.
Doctors and nurses have visited
the homes Of the patients and have
explained how TO prevent the de-
velopment and recurrence Of the
disease. One thousand three hun
dred and eight such visits were
made during the year in Kentucky
alone. 1T has taken some time -
the report continues, ITO educate
the people afflicted with this dis
ease TO the importance OF cleanli-
ness and the use Of simple hygienic
measures in their daily life" That
results have been obtained is evil
denced by the noticeably better OBJ
servance Of hygienic precautions by
those among whom the work has
been done.
In addition 10 the hospital work,
surveys were made in i6 counties
in Kentucky. especially among
school children. Eighteen thousand
and sixteen people were examined, !
per cent being found 10 hav. ira
choma. Similar inspections in GER
tain localities Of Arizona. Alabama.
and Florida resulted in finding the
disease present in from three 10
six children out Of every hundred.
Periodic examination OF school
children for the disease and the ex-
clusion Of the afflicted from the
public schools, are two Of the rec
concentrations the Public Health
Service lays emphasis upon.
One OF the special features Of the
trachoma work was the giving Of lee
lures and clinics before medical So
cieties in various counties where tra-
choma hospitals could not be es-
tablished. Patients were operated
upon in the presence Of physicians
and the most modern methods of
treatment demonstrated. Through
out. the purpose has been 10 stim-
ulate local interest in taking up the
campaign to eradicate trachoma.
