TAYLOR SECURED THE BISHOP SAMUEL FALLOWS, PIT ING AND THE DETECTIVE TE TO THE OLIVET BAPTIST CH OF ITS PASTOR, REV. E. J. FIS Not in fifty years has there been as much excitement among the Afro-Americans residing in this city as prevailed late last Friday evening and early on Saturday morning after The Broad Ax which is waging a terrific fight against the false leaders of the Colored race who are constantly robbing its members on all sides, made its appearance containing a full or itemized report or statement in relation to expenditures of the Illinois State Commission from November 20, 1913 to June 12, 1914, which was furnished by the Hon. James J. Brady auditor of public accounts for the state of Illinois. The excitement was at fever heat all day long on Saturday and Colored men and women those who are taxpayers were observed rushing in every direction in an effort to secure a copy of the paper so that they could read the report themselves. So great was the demand for the paper that we were forced to throw the forms back on the press at 11 o'clock on Saturday morning and run off another extra thousand copies of the paper in order to be on the safe side, all along on State street, groups of Colored men could be beheld excitedly denouncing and condemning the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, for blowing their money in riotous living and so on. On Sunday morning a great scene was enacted in Olivet Baptist Church which will be long remembered after Rev. Johnson of New York City, had delivered the regular morning sermon, HEW TO. THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY its eloquent and courageous pastor, the Rev. E. J. Fisher who was full to the brim with the spirit of excitement and indignation arose and in a most solemn manner he bitterly denounced the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann from his pulpit; he declared that they and others connected with the State Commission were wantonly and recklessly expending the taxpayer's money both White and Colored in feasting or banqueting, riding around in fine automobiles and accomplishing absolutely nothing. In concluding his bold and manly remarks Rev. Fisher spoke in part as follows: "I want you to get The Broad Ax, and read it. The report of expenditures, of the Illinois State Commissioners as published, in it in full comes from the State Auditor, and it is true. I am a taxpayer, I am interested in the report as a tax payer. I want you tax payers to be interested; I am addressing my remarks very largely to you. We Christian people are responsible for taking sides with such evil. We keep our mouths shut, and say nothing. I am going to make a noise, from now on, I am going to make a fuss. Read The Broad Ax, I want you to see where it gets its truth from. From the Auditor of the State. This State appropriated $25,000 for its Colored Citizens to hold an exposition celebrating the fifty years of freedom in 1915, under the management of Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey and T. W. Swann they have spent over $7,000 and have only a little over $17,000 left to run the Exposition with. CHICAGO, JULY 4, 1914 THE ELOQUET BURCH, FIRED in., D. D. D.

Harrison, I have not even received a postal card, to attend, not even a meeting, from any body. And yet they have spent over $7,000, I will not be a party to such robbery, and I will tell Mayor Harrison to his face so. And hand him my resignation, if necessary. We have got to take action, I am going to raise a fuss, and keep at it. I will say to the Mayor and every body else, if they want me to serve with such high handed robbery I won't do it. I make my living by being honest." He further exclaimed that he was not in favor of robbing the people out of their hard earnings—increasing their taxes to enable the commissioners to spludge around in grand style—he praised The Broad Ax and its Editor for honestly endeavoring to stand by the people and for turning the Light of day on that class of individuals who are endeavoring to rob them with their eyes wide open. No one can successfully dispute the fact that Rev. Fisher is not a power in the land among his brethren for he is vice President of the National Baptist Association representing two million and five hundred thousand Baptists. He is President of the Western Baptist Association which extends from the Allegheny Mountains to the Pacific Ocean which embraces six hundred thousand Baptists. He is president of the Baptist Association of Illinois consisting of twenty thousand Baptists, and he is the pastor of nt and Co into the and the H t Sunday M Olivet Baptist Church with three thousand members. He was the very first among the leading and most prominent preachers in this city to journey to Springfield, Ill., in June, 1913, at his own expense and delivered a speech before the committee on appropriations urging it to set aside a respectable sum of money to enable the Colored people residing in this state to be fittingly celebrate their freedom in 1915. And to his undying honor and credit he is the first eminent and prominent, eloquent divine in this city or state for that matter who had the courage and the self-respecting manhood to lead off in the revolt against permitting the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. and the Hon. Thomas Wallace to ride rough shod over the decent, honest tax paying Colored people throughout the state of Illinois. At this point we can only say let the other preachers in this city wake up and follow in the footsteps of Rev. Fisher in this respect—that is if they have a burning desire to fight for the rights of all the people both White and Black alike—their country and their Lord. Two thousand and five hundred extra copies of The Broad Ax were printed June 27, exclusively containing the report of State Auditor James J. Brady and seven hundred and fifty copies were sent to Washington, D. C. One to each United States Senator and Congressman and to other high officials in the capital of the nation, and one hundred copies to New York City, N. Y., Sample copies of it were also sent to all of the state officials of Illinois, including the Hon. Edward F. Dunne and the members of the Legislature and to all of the officials of Cook County and to the officials of this city including Mayor Carter H. Harrison, and all the Judges of the Cireuit and Superior Courts and to the Judges of the Municipal court. Four hundred copies of The Broad Ax were distributed free at Olivet Baptist Church on Sunday morning, one hundred copies at Berean Baptist Church, fifty copies free to the Y. M. C. A., fifty to St. Paul's Church, 46th and Dearborn street. All in all it was one of the boldest and most daring feats ever accomplished in Afro-American Journalism in this country. It was in some mysterious manner whispered to us by the way of the black dispatch or the grapevine route; that Bishop Samuel Fallows, was considerably wrought up, after he had read a copy of the last issue of The Broad Ax—that we had better keep our weather eye on him. So early on Monday morning, we hustled around and secured the services of an expert detective to hit his trail, and on Tuesday morning the detective trailed or shadowed him from his home at 2344 W. Monroe street, to Olivet Baptist church, 27 and Dearborn street, where he entered the study of its pastor, the Rev. E. J. Fisher. The detective reported to us; that after Bishop Fallows, who was accompanied by another White gentleman, who resembled a preacher had entered the study, he very noiselessly slipped up the steps unobserved and hid in a corner near the glass door; that Rev. Fisher and another Colored minister, whom he thought was Rev. Duncan, was in the room; that he was unable to overhear all the conversation, which passed between them; that at first, Bishop Fallows seemed to be very cold, and haughty, as much as to say to Rev. Fisher, that no real Colored man, can look me in the eye and live and when Rev. Fisher failed to fall down, as though he was dead, from SDELS HON. EDWARD F. DUNNE.

Fisher as Brother Fisher. Our Detective at that point, lost connection, as there was a shuffling of feet as though the conference was drawing to a close and the only other remark which he distinctly understood which came from Rev. Fisher, was that "I and the other twenty thousand Baptists of Illinois, will not have any thing to do with the celebration of the fifty years of freedom, among the Colored people in this state in 1915, until the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann are separated from their positions on the commission and the headquarters of the commission removed from Institutional Church." COL. S. B. TURNER PRAISES HIM SELF AND CONGRATULATES GOVERNOR DUNNE FOR SELECT- ING HIM. Last week Col. S. B. Turner, through the columns of his Idea, in the following manner because Governor Dunne selected him as one of the delegates to the National Educational Congress which meets at Oklahoma City, Okla., July 7, 8, 9 and 10th which is an empty honor for each and every delegate must pay their own railroad fare and hotel bill and we are willing to lay down one or two dimes against a glass of grape juice that Col. Turner will never be present at roll No. 41 Pastor of Archibald's Wallace ARD F. DUNNE. Governor of the great State of Illinois, where rascals and scoundrels to feed at the taxpayers throughout the State call during the congress. "Governor Dunne bestowed an honor upon S. B. Turner, L. B. Anderson and Geo. W. Blackwell when he appointed them delegates to represent the State of Illinois at the National Educational Congress, which meets at Oklahoma City, Okla., July 7, 8, 9, 10. No better selection could be made and the Governor should be congratulated on his selection. Mr. Turner is a lawyer of note and popular throughout the state, and Mr. Blackwell is a young man of exceptional ability, a lawyer by profession and a student by nature. He is a graduate of three schools and very technical and thoughtful. We congratulate the Governor on his selection."

THE DESIGNENT OP COLORED SLAVE MAY BE BRITISH QUEEN. That there is a strain of colored blood in the veins of the beautiful Countess Zia Torby is recalled by the news from London of her engagement to Prince Alexander of Battenberg. It becomes necessary to draw attention thereto, owing to the fact that Prince Alexander, a grandson of Queen Victoria, occupies a place in the line of succession to the British throne, and that there is a possibility, remote though it be, of his wife one day becoming Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and Empress of India. In that event England will be within measurable distance of seeing a ruler upon her throne who numbers among his ancestors Peter the Great's coal-black body-servant and body-guard Hannibal. Hannibal, a giant in stature, and a magnificent specimen of the Colored race, captured by slave traders in the Soudan as a boy, brought to Constantinople and reared there, was presented by the Padishah as a gift to Peter the Great. He became deeply attached to his imperial master, watched over him by day and by night, and slept stretched before the door of the Emporer's bedroom. He was a very intelligent man, and in course of time became a convert to Christianity. He was christened at Wilna, with Peter the Great as his godfather, and Queen Marie of Saxony and of Poland, that is to say, the consort of King Angust the Strong, as his godmother, receiving the name of Abraham-Petrovitch. In course of time Peter began to employ him for all sorts of confidential missions, and he did so well that the Czar gave him a commission in the army, with the rank of captain, from which he rose to that of general, being eventually invested by his imperial master with hereditary nobility on the proposal of Field Marshal Count Munich. He married a Russian woman, and his daughter, heiress of his great wealth, that is to say, a full-fledged mulatto, married into the house of Pushkin, one of the oldest Boyard families of the Muscovite aristocracy. Through this union she became the grandmother of the poet Alexander Pushkin, Russia's most famous bard, whose exceedingly dark skin, kinky black hair and thick lips clearly betrayed his Colored ancestry. Pushkin's youngest daughter, who died the other day as Countess Natalie Merenberg, was the grandmother of Countess Zia Torby, fiancee of Prince Alexander of Battenberg. Countess Natalie Merenberg had a most romantic history. When the poet Pushkin was killed in a duel by his brother-in-law the imperial family took charge of his orphaned children, and brought them up under its immediate care and at its expense. On attaining womanhood Natalie Pushkin was married to General Doubelt, trusted and beloved by all the members of the reigning family at St. Petersburg, as their most devoted and loyal guardian. She deserted him and eloped with Prince Nicholas of Nassau, young brother of the sovereign Grandduke Adolf of Luxemburg, and it was not until her eldest child, Sophie, was a year old, that the Czar gave his tandy and reluctant consent to the divorce from General Doubelt, which enabled her to legalize her relations with Prince Nicholas of Nassau by a morganatic marriage. The Philadelphia Press. 1 end of the Afro-American race who is Congress to make it possible to secure future date to enable the Colored people a grand national celebration of freedom If there are any fly breeding places in your neighborhood, get after them now. Clean up your own premises and keep them clean. And don't forget that it is your business if your neighbor doesn't do likewise. Keep your garbage cans covered. One uncovered garbage can will attract all the flies for a block away; and if neglected will breed them faster than they can be destroyed. As it is well known that flies convey disease, the model well conducted, up-to-date summer resort will have no flies. Moral, do not patronize back number summer resorts. Every child should have the chance to play in the open. One of the helpful things that can be done for the children of the congested areas of a large city is to provide them with suitable playgrounds. Some day, no doubt society will be so well organized that the preventable diseases will be wholly exterminated. But how soon none can tell. It all depends on the growth and practice of the right kind of health knowledge. It is well known that a water supply, polluted by filth is dangerous to use. What more natural than that we should be on the look-out for those agencies that contaminate water and render it unsafe for human consumption. To this end we should note the proximity of privy vaults, pig pens and chicken houses to wells or other sources from which drinking water is taken. Especially are these precautions necessary for those who are spending their vacations at summer reports, many of which are noted for visible beauties and many invisible dangers. It is a fundamental fact that, speaking in a general way, the communicable diseases are always carried from the sick to the well. Of course, this is not done always, by contact of well persons with those who are sick; but may be accomplished indirectly by handling articles that have been recently handled by the sick; and sometimes through the agencies of food, dust and insects; such as flees, bedbugs, mosquitoes, etc. Therefore, it is of prime importance that those who are known to be sick should not be permitted to associate with those who are well. In addition to this, as many of the communicable diseases are due to surrounding conditions that can be controlled, we should at all times be careful as to the character of those surroundings. It is clear that we should avoid flies and flth. MORE THAN FOURTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS BAKED IN AT THE GRAND' RALLY AT BEREAN BAPTIST CHURCH LAST SUNDAY. Rev. W. S. Braddan, pastor of Bercan Baptist church, 4838 S. Dearborn street; continues to wear a broad smile, which will not fade away, for last Sunday he had a grand rally in his church and raked or gathered in, more than fourteen hundred dollars. Hence the Braddan smile. HEALTH NOTES IDEAL WOMAN'S CLUB. AMANDA SMITH INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. Anniversary Exercises by Ideal Woman's Club. The best Anniversary Amanda Smith Industrial Home ever had was celebrated last Monday under the auspices of the Ideal Woman's Club. More than one hundred persons including eleven pastors, responded to the invitation of the Club and from noon until eight o'clock the guests were enjoying the good things prepared for them. Dinner was served at 3 P. M. and refreshments throughout the day. The Club derived a substantial sum from this source which together with its donation of five dollars made a present of twenty-five dollars to the Home, with other donations promised and to be reported next week. The tour of inspection by the guests resulted in the most hearty commendation of the condition of the Home and the efficiency of its officers. The cleanliness and sanitation was without flaw or blemish the garden work was first class, every foot of ground twelve lots being under-cultivation growing peas, beans, tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes and in fact every thing in the vegetable line, all the lettuce and radishes were served from the garden. When the visitors came to the chicken yard and saw the brood of fancy fowls, little and big, and eggs in the nest laid that day in celebration of the Anniversary, they were delighted sure enough. That pleasure was enhanced when they saw samples of clothesfines, neck halters, and other products in the rope making line, made by the children of the school, and learned that the work in this industrial line was to be continued during the vacation. Exercises began at 3 o'clock, with Mrs. Everidge the president of the Ideal Woman's Club in the chair. A brief program by the club, interspersed with singing by the children, was followed by addresses by members of the club, Mrs. Barnett, and most of the Pastors present. All of the Pastors spoke in highest terms, commending the Institution and its condition and promising their fullest support to make the future an unqualified success. Among those who spoke in unstinted praise of what they had seen were: Rev. E. T. Martin, Rev. Harry Knight, Rev. J. W. Robinson, Rev. F. H. Haywood, Rev. D. H. Harris, Rev. A. L. Harris, Rev. A. V.enable, Rev. G. C. Mapledeu and Hon. Julius F. Taylor, Editor of The Broad THE ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN AT THE HOPE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE LOUISE TRAINING SCHOOL FOR COLORED BOYS. Favorably mentioned in the Sunday Tribune, Los Angeles, Cal. By Eloise Bibb Thompson. A Novel program was given lately at the Hope Presbyterian Church in Chicago for the benefit of the Louise Training school for Colored boys. Julius F. Taylor, a progressive Colored citizen with a view toward informing his audience of some of the noteworthy achievements of the Colored race, gave a well-prepared review of Edward A. Johnson's school History of the Negro Race in America. Mr. Taylor read a letter of George Washington's dated February 26, 1776, to Phyllis Wheatly, the first Black American poet, in which he heartily thanked her for dedicating to him one of her first poems. The address of General Andrew Jackson to his Colored soldiers just before the memorable battle of New Orleans was then given followed by President Thomas Jefferson's letter to Benjamin Bannaker, a noted Colored astronomer, constructed the first clock made in America, assisted in laying out the District of Columbia and got out an almanac for the year 1792, the manuscript of which he sent to President Jefferson. The latter was so impressed with this almanac that he sent it to the Academy of Science in Paris. It was also exhibited in the British house of commons as an example of the capabilities of the Negro.—The Sunday Tribune, Los Angeles, Cal., June 28, 1914. WEST SIDE NOTES There was never so grand an entertainment, or recital given at St. Stephens' Church as was given at Thursday, June 25th, by Professor Oscar Martin and Professor Turner. The ladies were in their evening gowns and the Church never held so many people as it did on this night. Children participated as young as 7 years old. They were all very well talented. We are still looking toward the Rally, which will soon be held at St. Stephens' Church and we want all who will come over that day and help us, raise the $1,000. The Social given for the benefit of the Rally at Mrs. Walker, 2131 Walnut St. was very successful, and was attended by many. Every body is welcome to visit all of our Churches. The Base League of all Churches on the West Side are progressing rapidly. THE CHAPEBON'S CHATTER. Tuesday, June 30th, was Flower day in Chicago. How many did you sell for charity? The Garden Party, is to be the most popular form of entertaining these summer days. Miss Noval Major, the charming daughter of Mrs. Emma F. Major, of Hopkinsville, Ky., has arrived from Washington, D. C., where for the past year she has been attending Harvard University, to visit her sister, Mrs. Hayes Petree, who is sparing no pains to make her stay pleasant at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall, 3846 Vineennes Ave. Miss Major, has won many friends and Chicago still offers her dolce far niente. "By What Right?" Is the title of Miss Bettiola Fortson's latest poem, it is full of ginger and straight to the point, the little Poetess has been asked to send a copy to the Crisis. Perhaps you will be surprised to know that over 60,000 newspapers are now appearing in the various quarter of the globe. Of these over one-half are printed in the English language there being 28,000 in the United State and over 13,000 in the British Empire. The first photographic picture was taken in 1839 by Dr. John Draper. Chicago, has been having abundance of rainfall in the last month, and that reminds me, when an inch of rain falls 101 tons of water have poured from the skies upon every acre within the area affected thereby. Among the many festivities of the week was the beautiful moonlight picnic given by Miss Virginia Gains, at Washington Park, Wednesday evening, Miss Gains, always proves a charming hostess. THE JUBILO AND JUBILUM NEGRO. Congress and the legislatures ought to turn down these numerous applications for appropriations made by a certain class of Colored men to celebrate emancipation of the Negro in America. There is nothing of practical consequence in it. It is silly effort at grafting; such affairs only appeal to the froliesome Negro, the good time pienicker and parader. They just had appropriations from the legislatures of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio and Illinois for celebrations of Emancipation in those states last year. All those affairs were very disappointing and amounted to naught. We do not need to parade our wealth because we have not wealth as yet worthy of parade. We are not so raw and sporty as to be always anxious to "flash our roll." The roll is too small, and even as small as it is, we are not yet certain of our possession. Let us get off the streets and get into the workshops; stop carrying banners and carry a tool box; stop jubilating and go to building; stop running excursions and run a few factories. We certainly hope that neither congress nor state legislatures will give another cent to this Negro Pieniciery and celebration business.—The Advance, St. Louis, Mo. June 27, 1914. MME. TYLER SANG AT QUINN CHAPEL Last Sunday night, upon request of Prof. Morris of Quinn Chapel, Madame Rosa Lee Tyler sang "The Soul's Awakening" to an enthusiastic congregation. She is one of the eminent Professor's students to whom he often refers with pride, because through his tutorship she has been enabled to hold her own with the best and is now recognized as the leading soprano of the Negro race by all who have heard her sing. In all her travels which extend the length and breadth of the United States, Dominion of Canada and in foreign lands, when approached she has always replied, "my teacher is a Colored man, Professor Morris is his name." On one occasion a White lady spoke and said. She would give anything to a man who could teach her child to sing as this lady sings, regardless of what color he was. The Madame was in good voice and sang with expression in so much that Bishop Clinton commented very flatteringly at the conclusion of the song. Mr. Keoki Waiholo the Madame's Hawaiian partner will sing tomorrow night by request. EDWARD EARL O'NEILL SEEMS TO BE IN THE LEAD FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR SHERIFF OF COOK COUNTY. The big and little Republican politicians, are fighting and scrapping among themselves like so many cats and dogs, notwithstanding, this fact; Edward Earl O'Neill, seems to be in the lead for the nomination for sheriff of Cook County and many of the big chiefs of his party are coming out in the open in favor of his nomination. 17 REV.

Being practical and having the necessary qualifications, having graduated from both the law and the Theological schools fitting him for such a place. His executive ability The Rev. E. J. Fisher, D. D., LL D., who has startled the county with the announcement of his candidacy for the Legislature of the first Senatorial district. If there is a place for the man, then he is the man for the place. He will not make the race solely as a Negro; but in that largest sense, as an American citizen. If nominated, and to a very large degree, of this he feels assured he will represent the whole Senatorial district, and give to his constituents, every consideration that an honest public servant ought to give to those whom he represents. He did not enter the race, nor accept the request to run, without giving the matter serious study, and not then, until several committees, consisting of the most influential, White as well as Colored friends of the district, had waited upon him, and urged upon him, the wisdom of entering the race. And why not? The last General Assembly was graced with the presence of the Rev. Dr. F. E. J. Lloyd, and the citizens had no serious reasons for alarm, yet the very presence of this good man, did much for the purification of that august body. So will the presence of Dr. E. J. Fisher, grace that august assembly. Dr. Fisher is pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, 27th and Dearborn street, an institution worthy of the highest notice, with a splendid service of systematic operation, doing good to all who enter her gates, or come to her doors for succor. It is the Home of helpfulness to the unfortunate and many men, women and children have received encouragement from the hands of this Christian Minister of the Gospel. A large number of our young men who Mr. J. Bryan has returned from the Hospital, feeling better, and is at home to his friends. Mr. William Craig, of Lake Park Ave. at this writing is very ill. Mrs. William Clements of 5470 Kenwood Ave. Niece is visiting her, and finding things very pleasant. She is from Louisville, Ky. The installation of officers of the Hyde Park Charity Club, was held at Mrs. Alice Simms residence, 5141 Lake Park Ave. The duty of the evening fell upon the ex-president, Mrs. Macon. The following persons were installed: Mrs. Eva Raymore, President; Mrs. Daisy Miller, Vice-president; Mrs. Perkins, Secretary; Mrs. Sarah Washington, Treasurer; Mrs. Alice Simms, Chapain. Refreshments were served, and the organization adjourned to meet at Mrs. Perkins, fourth Thursday in July, 5430 Kenwood Ave. We were very sorry to hear of two of our young married women of Hyde Park, who were raised up together had a falling out, and aired their differences in court. By L. W. Washington. are now in business, have not only received good advice from him but his financial aid as well. Being practical, and having the necessary qualifications, having graduated from both the law and the Theological schools fitting him for such a place. His executive ability can not be gain said, nor lightly attacked without the enemy realizing that they have met a giant of intellectual strength. He of all others in the race, representing the republican party, is worthy because for 36 years he has stood for its principles, fought its battles, helped its sons to pre-eminence, honored its daughters in their fight for political freedom, gone at the request of the bureauc, addressing audiences all over this country; gave of his means to help the cause, without receiving a dollar, neither asking for a position, as a reward for such faithful service. And now comes the party, and offers at least its gratitude, by offering to give him the nomination at their hands in September. Do you think that such a man will fail to represent you in the Legislative Halls of this our beloved state, I think not. Dr. Fisher is a lawyer as well as an able minister of the Gospel: A financier of no ordinary worth, a tax payer in the State of Illinois, a Christian gentleman of refinement and culture, a man with very large experience having to deal with the needs of humanity for years, his life has been, and is now being spent in behalf of human welfare. He is the poor man's friend and the rich man's advisor, a man of the people, truly representative character, one worthy of the highest commendation, what think you voter about such a man. He is the Honored President of the State Convention of Illinois of the western Baptist Convention. Dr. E. J. Fisher, who enters the race with malice toward none, with charity for all, is asking you for your suffrage. "He who is able to govern themselves are greater than those, who can take a city." The Sunday morning choir accompanied the pastor of the Hyde Park A. M. E. Church, Rev. W. H. Griffin, to Blue Island, where he was speaker of the day at a grand rally.

Careful study by National Association shows that presence of institution is not dangerous. Convincing proof that tuberculosis sanatoria or hospitals are not a menace to the health nor a detriment to the property of those living-near such institutions is given in a pamphlet issued today by The National Association for the study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In an extended study of the subject the Association has not been able to find a single instance where a tuberculosis sanatorium has had an injurious effect on the health of anyone living near it, nor where it has had any lasting effect upon property values. The pamphlet, entitled "The Effect of Tuberculosis Institutions on the Value and Desirability of Surrounding Property," reviews all the studies made on the subject, takes up court bearing on the question, and contributes besides some original investigations of typical hospitals, and the opinions of prominent men, life insurance companies and others. Nearly 150 different institutions are studied. In all these institutions, not one case could be found where the assertions of opponents to their location, that a tuberculosis sanatorium would spread disease and injure property, could be substantiated. In fact a number of instances were found where the presence of the sanatorium or hospital promoted outdoor living, tending to lower the death rate, and increased the market for produce and labor, thereby benefiting the community. Among the most significant opinions expressed are those by five of the largest life insurance companies in the United States. These companies were asked if residence in a tuberculosis sanatorium by a healthy individual was considered an adverse factor in issuing insurance and also if residence in the neighborhood of a sanatorium constituted such an adverse factor. Two of the companies answered the first question in the affirmative and two in the negative, but everyone of them answered that residence near a tuberculosis sanatorium was not considered an adverse factor in issuing life insurance Dr. Edward L. Trudean, who built the first tuberculosis sanatorium in the United States in 1885, says: "When I bought the first land on which the Adirondack Cottage Sanatorium is built, I paid $25 an acre for it, but the price was then thought absurdly high. My last purchase of five acres cost me $5,000. To my knowledge, there has never been an employee who came to the sanatorium in sound health who developed tuberculosis while there; and a sanatorium can no more endanger the health of the neighborhood in which it is built, even if the residences are at its very gates, than it could if it were placed on top of a high mountain miles away from habitation."

It is news that a scientist has grown nerves in a bottle, but most cases of nerves grow from bottles. Philadelphia girls have pockets in their stockings.

Experience shows that it is just as difficult to get out the woman vote as it has always been to get out the man vote. Of course France will criticise the Panama canal. And of course France did much better when it had the chance. With radium costing $10,000 more a gram druggists will still have to look to the soda and cigar counters for their profits. Every properly equipped historian now employs a force of cataloguers to index and cross index the various Balkan wars. A Boston talking machine company has gone into the hands of a receiver. Talk in this case seems to have been too cheap. A new comet recently sighted is said to look peculiar to the astronomers. Probably it is following the prevailing styles in skirts. When you go to a restaurant don't forget to order oysters. Finding pearls of great price in oysters is awfully common this year. The Suez canal is nothing but a level salt water ditch, while the Panama canal is a fresh water bridge for ships from ocean to ocean. Is there no way for congress to reduce the winter prices of American beauty roses? That would be a great help to the courting industry. So far wireless telegraphy has saved the lives of 5,000 persons who would otherwise have been lost at sea. It is doing more than pay dividends. No way has yet been developed to enable the American agriculturist to raise radium, but he can do the next thing to it. He can raise beef. Some predict that the time will come when people will read each other's thoughts like a book. Many flyleaves will be discovered where least expected. A medical journal has an article on "How to Lie When Asleep." Of more value would be an article on how to induce people to tell the truth when awake. Russian explorers have discovered an island about half the size of Europe. Nature is very careless with her islands. One finds them lying around everywhere.
