MORE HOSPITALS ARE NEEDED

Situation Improved, but Further Work !• Needed to Stamp Out Tuberculosis.” i Only four states, Mississippi, No* jvada, Utah and Wyoming, have no [beds whatever In special hospitals or |#ards for consumptives. Eight years ago when the National Association for toe Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis was organized there were 26 'states In which no hospital or sanitarium provision for consumptives existed, and the entire number of beds in the United States was only 10,000. “While these figures would Indicate a remarkable growth In antl-tubercu-losis activity," says Dr. Livingston Farrand, executive secretary of the National association, In commenting on the subject, there are still practically ten Indigent consumptives for every one of the 30,000 beds, including those for pay patients. In other words, iwe have from 260,000 to 800,000 consumptives in this country too poor 'to provide hospital care for themselves. If tuberculosis Is ever going to be stamped out of the United States, more hospital provision for these foci of Infection must be provided."

SEES BIG WAR CLOUD

Correspondent Says End of Trouble in Europe Is Far Away.

Declares It Is impossible for Anyone to Predict That 1912 Will End in Peace —Russia Attempted to End Present Conflict.

Berlin, Germany.—That Europe has passed through the two first months of spring without a catastrophe of any kind in the diplomatic field must not be taken to mean that the sky is now hloudless and the horlson clear. On the contrary, ominous rumblings are heard everywhere, and no one dareß prophesy that 1912 will end in peace. During: the last two weeks a correspondent of a Washington paper writes, events have happened which have puzzled the diplomats of all the great countries —events which seem to predict the lmminency of material changes in the delicate balance of old Europe. Our poor old world, in spite of all its enlightenment, still possesses Its political sphinx, situated within the confines of Russia. What Russia’s plans really are no one ever knows, least of all, probably, the gentle and peace-loving czar himself. Russia gave the first impulse to the new grouping of the powers when, under Alexander 111., a strong and virile ruler of extraordinary gifts as a statesman, she concluded the alliance with France, which became the unshaken corner stone of the European position. Now, at least, it seems as if this corner stone is less firm than before. France and Russia are no longer in perfect harmony, and Russia blamed) the French ambassador to St. Petersburg for the Jarring note of the discord which was dimly heard by those whose ears are always pressed against the ground. Russia wanted to put an end to the war between Italy and Turkey, but she wanted something herself from the government in Constantinople in exchange for her friendly services, and she hoped, naturally, to be backed up by France. In this hope she was disappointed, and the dosing of the Dardanelles, which followed, caused the greatest irritation in St Petersburg, because it brought home very forcibly

“Tenderfoot” Pastor Shows Nerve While Preaching at Greeley, Colo. Greeley, Colo. —Rev. John Bentley, an Invalid “tenderfoot,” graduate of an eastern theological college, may have a congregation any time his health permits him to preach here because of his nerve. Addressing a handful of people in the little adobe schoolhouse, ten milee from here, he paused suddenly at sight of a rattlesnake that had < joined his congregation and nestled at his feet He stooped quJcfcly, grabbed the reptile back of the neck, carried It out of the schoolhouse and stamped it to death. Returning, he dropped the subject .of his sermon and, symbolising the snake as Bin, held his congregation for an hoar. The next night the congregation was too large for the schoolhouse;

to the Russian statesmen the Immense disadvantage and danger of their empire not controlling* the outlets from the Black sea. Now, of course, the Dardanelles are once more open, but many a statesman’s head will lie uneasily until the Russian sphinx has spoken and made known its plans definitely. Meanwhile it is admitted that the continuance of the Italo-Turkish war is not free from danger. Italy cannot think of an advance in Tripoli until the may not be able to do so even then. Nor can Italy withdraw with honor. There is an impasse wbich European diplomacy will have to remove. But no statesman has yet found a way, and all that M. Sazanoff’s attempts have so far achieved is the diplomatic sensation In Paris. -

WELL KNOWN FIRE DOG DIES

Rex Was a Bulldog and a Hero of the Department—ls Buried With Honor. New York.—‘Rex, fireman, life saver and as faithful to duty as any member of the department was crushed to death recently while answering an alarm from the quarters of engine company No. 17. Rex was only a dog and he was no pretty dog; either. was a bull, with heavy Jowls and legs .which spoke strength and not beauty, but for four years he had guarded the firehouse night and day when he was not on duty at some blaze 'or sniffing about in search of fire. There is a new horse on duty in No. 17 house. He is a big roan, fractious and difficult- to handle. The alarm sofinded. The roan took his plaoe by his mate and dashed out of the house. The driver managed him with difficulty, but Rex ran along beside him, barking when time came to turn corners and endeavoring to show the new horse the way to answer an alarm. Suddenly there came a corner to turn. The roan was slow in answering to the reins. Tlnn he hurled his body to one side, dragging the engine after him, tb» wheels of the heavy vehicle passed over the body of the faithful dog. The firemen buried Rex with all the honors due a hero.

Capture Giant Sea-Cow

Monster Taken by Fishermen Weight 3,000 Pounds and la Twelve Feet Long. Point Isabel, Tex.—Mexican fishermen had an exciting encounter jjritb a manatee, a giant sea-cow, in the shallow water of the Laguna Madre near here recently. It was dlfctured only after one of the men, Ramon Rodrigues, had been seriously hurt -by one of its flippers. The creature was 12 feet long and weighed more than 3.000 pounds. It U being kept alive and promises to survive for some time. The sea-cow is supposed to have come up from the more southern waters of the gulf-. It ottered the Laguna Madre at the pass which separates tla island from the mainland and was seen by the fishermen straggling In a shallow part of the strip of water. A boat with three men went out to capture it they got dose to It Rodriguez climbed out of the boat and attempted to pat a rope around the manatee’s fins and was knocked unconscious by a blow from one of its flippers. He would have drowned had he not been dragged Into the boat by his companions. The rape was finally fastened and the manatee was towed ashore. It Is the second of its kind captured In the Laguna Madre in the last few weds. These animals are quite numerous along Hie coast 150 to 200 miles south of here. They are adapted to both halt and fresh water. A strange feature of their appearance in the waters along the coast is that they are usually accompanied by a school at eea devils,

AVARICE TALE FROM PARIS

Woman, Rather Than Pay Sister's g-'f.-'-V. Funeral Bill, Watches Body Beven Weeks. 7 Paris.—A queer story of an old woman’s avarice comes from Laval, neiu > Rennes. In the Rue Basse des Bouchers resided two sisters, Clementine and Fanny Manguy, aged sev-enty-two and seventy-four years. The old women held aloft from their neighbors. They rarely left their rooms and their only visitor was a ndn. The sister had not been seen for seven weeks. The neighbors became anxious and wondered what had occurred. The police were informedw The other morning a policeman wad annoyed by a disagreeable odor. He ascended the stairs and knocked at the door of the sisters’ room. The door was not opened, but an angry voice within bade him go about his business. The policeman procured a ladder, and affected an entrance Into the rooms by opening a window. A terrible spectacle met his view. On a mattress lay one of the sisters. She was ill. Asked where her sister was she replied that she was lying dead at the foot of the bed. The eldest si* ter had, in fact, been dead for sever! weeks, and the other had remained by the body, which was now in a of putrefaction. . 77; When asked why she had not notified of her sister’s dpath, she declared that she could not pay for the funeral expenses. On the room being searched SSOO in bank notes and gold was found. The old woman preferred to remain by the body rather than pay for the burial. The sister was removed to a hospital, and the dead body was taken to the morgue.

great seo monsters frequently weighing as much as 4,500 pounds each. One of them when harpooned has been known to drag 20 boats, hitched tandem, each carrying two men. Such an experience came two or three years ago at Aransas Pass to 4 party of fishermen, among whom were John W. Robbis, then state treasurers W. G. Sterrett, present state game; fish and oyster commissioner, and J } W. Maxwell of 'Austin, a noted big game hunter and fisherman. They were fishing just off the little town of Tarpon when a sea devil of extraordinary size came to the surface neas one of the boats. A boatman sank |[ harpoon deep into Its body, the harpoon being secured to the boat by 4* line. The sea devil made off at lightning speed. As the boat to which it was attached passed the boats each threw a line, and 20 other boats, carrying 40 men, were towed by the giant animal. They had stuck to it for six hours, when it headed out toward the ocean. Then the men raised the signal of distress and a life-saving crew on Harbor island rowed out and shot the monster.

Willing to Oblige.

A story comes from a town where firms advertise to sell fish direct to small purchasers. The glowing advertisements asked for the sending of half a dollar with a list of the varieties of fish preferred. One letter read: “I want two salmon, a dozen whiting, a dozen fresh herring, some flounders, and if you have them you can add a lobster.” The next day the lady received a letter which ran: “Dear Madam: Please send another dime, and we will forward the fisherman.” —Dallas News.

Her Unfortunate Error.

A literary lady at a society dinner was given a seat next to a noted scientist whose views were very materialistic, and at some remark he made on the origin of mankind, the lady found her temper tried beyond all bearing, so that she retorted: *T really don’t care what you say. I believe in the Bible, and there we are told that Adam was the father of all living” ‘T really think you are mistaken.” be said with a smile, and so the subject dropped. - . A few days later the lady, writing to a bosom friend, told her of the occurrence and added: ”1 am too mortified, for 1 bate looked the matter up and it only says that Eve was the mother of all living, and so I don’t know whether' to write to the professor or not”
