Albuquerque, N. M., Dec. 4. Realizing the great number of people who are afflicted with the dreaded disease ot tuberculosis In the United States, the majority of whom have little means, the Presbyterian Synod of New Mexico has established a sanatorium in this city for the treatment of this disease. A committee was appointed by the synod which included Arizona in the fall of 1007, for the purpose of selecting the best place for the location of such an institution. After visiting many sections in this part of the country, Albuquerque was decided upon as the best .all things being considered, especially the climate. Founded on Faith. Rev. Hugh A. Cooper, pastor of the First Church. Albuquerque, and chairman of the board of trustees, when speaking of the sanatorium said: "Our Presbyterian Sanatorium is founded largely on faith. We believe it to be a cause near to the heart of Christ and that our appeal in its behalf win meet with a response from the people." This Institution, named the SouthWestern Presbyterian Sanatorium, is situated overlooking the Rio Grande on the west and in full view of the high mountains on the east. ' It has been established over a year now and results from its establishment have been most favorable. , The expectation of the church is that men of means will see that here is work, greatly needed, and will give of their means to endorse it. Many go to the Southwest when told they have tuberculosis, and. although they have not the adequate means of support, expect in a short time to be sufficiently restored to earn a1 livelihood; t They select cheap and poorly ventilated rooms.- ? Sometimes they secure tents and do their, own .cooking. Under such: conditions there is little chance Of recovery and many of them become' a public charge,.;. J 3 What the Plan Is. - This is another reason why the Presbyterians : have built a sanatorium, so that those with inadequate means may. come to the institution and reap Its, benefits, The plan of this organization is to make use of inexpensive buildings, the patients to occupy individual tent cottages costing about $250 each. 'No profit accrues to any individual, is the organization or outside. The resident physician and manager receive only a modest salary. All the money that is received, is either used for the building ot a tent cottage, or goes directly to the support of the unfortunate consumptive who lacks means., The institution with, an endowment ojt $100,000 can make a rate ot $5 a week each for one hundred patients, while the lowest rate at a private sanatorium offering similar advantages would be $2 per week, a price beyond te reach ot the afflicted who are in ordinary, circumstances. . Synod Namea Officer. The institution is managed by a board -of directors elected by the Synod, and has also the endorsement of the general assembly of the church. Its trustees are: Rev, Hugh A. Cooper, chairman. Albuquerque, N. M.; R. 1L Collier, secretary, cashier State Rational bank, : Albuquerque ; - Judge John R. McFie, Santa Fe; Rev. F. C. .Reid, Phoenix, Ariz.; Dr, W, P.

i A Stage Manager's Ruse. . The bouse bill of the Imperial theater of La Rocbe-sur-Yon announced far the evening performance "La Tour do Nesle." fire act melodrama, and La Soear de Joerisse, one act farce. The drama had been disposed of. but the low comedian was missing and could not be found, What was to be done? A luminous Idea finally entered the manager's mind. The orchestra played an overture. , then another, then a third, then a polka and finally a quadrille. At last, when the audience had grown quite obstreperous, the stage manager appeared. He addressed the three conventional bows to the spectators and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, yon are anxious. I know, to listen to La Soeur de Joerisse." The piece has Just been acted, bnt through as unaccountable oversight en the part of the stage bands they forgot to raise the certain. - Sew It In a Dream. . For many years Ivory, manufacturers were trying to devise a machine for taming oat a billiard ball as nearly perfect as possible and at the same time avoiding waste. Among those who strove to perfect such a machine was Mr. John Carter of the firm of John Carter & Son. well known Ivory toanufacturers. One night, after Air. Carter had been striving to noire the problem for some 'time, he suddenly awoke his wlfeF, by shoaling out.

Miss Mary Shaw, actress, bereaved of her mother and father in two weeks. Miss Shaw was performing at a matinee when a telegram was received at the New York theater for her. Under the stage rules this was not delivered until the. close of the play; when handed to her she was afraid to open it as she believed it contained bad news. One of her associates tore open the message and when Miss Shaw read that her father had died in Boston that morning, she fell in a swoon.

10 TRAinJEFFRIES James J. Corbett Yesterday Sailed From England For New York. HIS VIEWS ON BIG MILL (American News Service) London, Dec. 11. James J. Corbett sailed for home today on the steamship Mauretania. He is returning to the United States for the purpose of training Jim Jeffries for his fight with Jack Johnson. Speaking of the fight Corbett said: "If Jeffries can get back to the form he showed when he beat me, he will make short work of the nigger, who, in my opinion is lucky to hold the championship. - He Btruck a time when there were really no big men. I believe he would have had no chance if he had been called on to fight such men as John L. Sullivan, Slavin Jeffries or Fitzsimmons. NEW BASEBALL MOVE Ban Johnson Threatens to Expose the New York Bribery Case. DIRECTS BLOW AT BRUSH (American News Service) Chicago, Dec. 11. President Ban Johnson, in renewing his fight against John T, Brush, owner of the giants, and President Murphy of the Cubs, today threatened to reveal the identity of the "man higher up" in the bribing scandal in that famous 1908 game in which the Cubs won the pennant from the Giants. "I will show cause why Brush should not become the dominant factor in the league," said Johnson. He will throw his bomb immediately after the holidays. A UNIQUE EXPERIMENT. Boiling and Freezing Water at the Same Time. The possibility of boiling and freezing water at the same time in the laboratory is one of the most interesting developments of modern science. The temperature at which water boils depends simply on the air pressure above its surface at the time. If there is high pressure the water has to be made a good deal hotter to boil than at low pressure. On mountains where the air pressure is a good deal lower than at sea level water boils easily at low temperature. In cooking vegetables that require a certain degree of heat and where the water boils before that degree is reached the vegetables will not get done. They consequently have to be put into a closed boiler so that the generated steam will create enough pressure for the water to boll at or beyond the required temperature. In the experimental proof of this fact water Is placed in a vessel and the air exhausted from above the surface of the water. As the process of pumping goes on the water will violently boil, the steam congealing on the sides of the exhaust vessel. If the pumping is continued long enough and the outside is cooled below the freezing point of water the water will continue to boll and bubble till it is frozen into a snowy mass of ice. This fact is also made use of in taking a rough test of the height of a mountain. Ordinarily at sea level where the pressure is about thirty inches of mercury water boils at 212 degrees F. Now, if it is noticed that at a certain place it boils at a few degrees lower the height of that place can be easily ascertained by comparison with a table made out for this purpose. In general for every degree the boiling takes place under 212 a height of about 500 feet is counted. ? Of course these principles do not apply to water alone, but are characteristic of an liquids.

(By Allen Sangree.) New York. Dec. 11. Garry Herrmann, the firm-visaged, squat-bodied gentleman has declared war on Charles Webb Murphy, the retund magnate of Chicago. "If Murphy tries to rule the National league, that organization will go to pieces," is what Herrmann told fifteen newspaper men at the Waldorf. "I will vote to elect John Heydler and I will not stand for John Ward as president of our league. I declare myself against syndicate baseball and will fight to the finish for the games honesty. I am in favor of an inter-league series, although I fear that It will not go through," was another of Herrmann's remarks. "Will you withdraw your club from the National league in event of Ward's being forced into the presidency?" Herrmann declined to give positive

answer. "That is a matter to be settl ed later on," he said. Attitude a Surprise. Hermann's attitude was a surprise to the baseball writers who had been led to expect that he would temporize on the situation. Quite to the con trary he was emphatic and determ ined. "Early this season I thought that Heydler was wrong on several points backing up his umpires, he said. "I have known Heydler but slightly. But, watching his work narrowly, I have now come to the conclusion that he is a competent, able, honest and fair man. This umpire question is a first item in our present baseball crisis. I stand with the man who sustains his umpires. Heydler. "At this moment I do not know who are the stockholders of the Philadelphia club. Every one is at liberty to look over the books of the Cincinnati club and see who owns it. When Charley Murphy came to our town and bet a bat a whole bat, mind you, that Philadelphia's vote would be a vote for John Ward, then I knew that he had a band in the purchase. Murphy wouldn't take a chance like that un less he had a sure thing. So much for Mr. Murphy. If he is going to run the National league he will make a mesa of it. "Now, another thing. It has been intimated that I am influenced by the American league president. This is absoluately inaccurate. The American league has made no suggestions to me. I have a letter from Johnson which I will make public in a, day or two. It is important, but it does not concern my attitude." ZELAYA TUBUS A TBICKJI REBELS By a Clever Move He Evades Insurgents and Marches On Bluefields. RESIDENTS ARE IN PANIC CRUISER DES MOINES LIES IN THE HARBOR AND IS READY TO LAND MARINES AND GUNS IF NECESSARY. (American News Service) Bluefields, Nicarague, Dec. 11. The marines of the cruiser Des Moines, under Commander Shipley, here were put in' readiness for landing late today, following the request of General Estrada for aid. This request was made through the American consul, Mr. Moffat. Great fear is felt in the city generally of an attack by the Zelaya forces. It has become known that the government troops at Rama are merely a blind, and that a stronger force of 3.000 were ordered to proceed against Bluefields. the seat of the provisional government under Estrada. Are Many Americans. A descent on the city would mean that Zelaya has outwitted Estrada, and disastrous results would result. There are 150 Americans in Bluefields. The Des Moines could rush into the field not only a strong force of marines, but six rapid-fire guns. SAYS CITY IS QUIET. Washington, Dec. 11. The state department today received a telegram from United States Censul Moffit, at Bluefields, Nicaragua, stating that the city is quiet and orderly, and that signs point-to a revolutionary victory at Rama. It is reported that there may be an uprising at Leon In favor of Irias for president of Nicaragua. Rbkl- HI Press atptloa.

The object of her rainbow school is to give in structions to working women so that they may start a new Industry. EARLY ANATOMISTS. iaaccttoB HVmm Practiced la Earrt In 300 B. C. Dr. William Williams Keen tells some interesting facts regarding the early history of dissection. The first human anatomists were in Alexandria three centuries before Christ, and they and their successors for 2,000 years were commonly reported to have indulged In antemortem dissection. Says Dr. Keen: "Vesalius was shipwrecked and died while fleeing for his life on such a charge. The Edinburgh act of 1505, giving the surgeons the body of one criminal annually 'to make an anatomie of,' was guarded by the proviso 'after he be deid. Even poetry has lent its aid to perpetuate the legend of the 'invisible girl,' whose ghost was believed to haunt Sir Charles Bell's anatomical rooms, where she had been dissected alive on the night preceding that appointed for her marriage." For a long time Alexandria was the only medical center of the world, and the physician Galen (born about 130 A. D.) had to journey from Rome to the African city even to see a skeleton. He sept his students to the German battlefields to dissect the bodies of the national epenMes, while her himself used apes as most resembling human beings. Human dissection was revived In Bologna in the fourteenth century, where Madonna Manzolina later was professor of anatomy, undoubtedly one of the first women doctors, if not the very first. Leonardo da Vinci, painter of "The Last Supper," was a great anatomist, but dissection had fallen into disuse when Vesalius finally revived it about the middle of the sixteenth century. Even in comparatively modern times anatomists have been the objects of attacks by the populace. In 1765 Dr. John Sbippen of Philadelphia was mobbed as a grave robber. Doctors' riots In New York occurred twentythree years later and were doe to the belief that the medical students robbed graves continually. It was the lack of opportunity that led to the practice of grave robbing and originated what Dr. Keen calls "a set of the lowest possible villains the resurrectionists." WORK. The work' which presents no difficulties to be overcome soon grows uninteresting. There are some workers so anxious to catch time by the forelock that they almost tear the forelock off. If it is true that good work Implies that the workman knows himself it is equally true that the best work shows that he has forgotten himself. There is only one right way to work, and it is neither in doing things before they are started nor in doing them all over again after they are finished. The world is altogether too restricted in its use of the word "art." Work of any kind done superlatively well is art dusting pictures as well as painting them. A good worker is pretty much like a horse, after all. When it's uphill going don't worry him; when It's downhill going don't hurry him, and be sure to take good care of him once he's in the barn. Success. An Oxford Steak Hat. The Clarendon Press once made a bid for printing the notes of the Bank of England. It was many years ago, when the forger was abroad in the land, and it was desired to make his task more difficult. , A sample Oxford note was adorned with a number of unintelligible quotations from out of the way languages Arabic, Coptic and others. It was thought no .forger could produce them, and an elaborate argument was given In with the sample note to that effect. Nowadays any note may be copied by photography, and the unique quality of its paper is the security of the Bank of England against fraud. London Sketch. A BulacM Talk. "Miss de Simpson," said the young secretary of legation, "I have opened negotiations with your father upon the subject of er coming - to see yon oftener with a view ultimately to forming an alliance, and he has responded favorably. May I ask If yon will ratify the arrangement as a modus Vivendi?" "Mr. von Harris," answered the daughter of the eminent diplomat, "don't you think It would have been a more graceful recognition of my . administrative . entity if you had asked me first?"

A SCOTTISHLEGEND. The Story of the Knight With the White Feather. TWO COURAGEOUS WARRIORS. Heroic Alexander Hume and His 8till ' Mora Horoio Fellow Soldior end ProUctor The Sad Sequel to the Battle That Was Lost. The heraldic arms of the Scotch town of Selkirk show a woman seated on a tomb, on which is also placed the Scottish lion. The legend told about the arms is this: King James IV. of Scotland, who was about to invade England, needed recruits for his enterprise. The town clerk of Selkirk, William Brydone, tried his best to aid his king by persuading his fellow countrymen to enlist in the royal cause. So earnest was he that be is said to have moved over a hundred lusty Scots to Join his standard. Among these was one of the name of Alexander Hume. This man was a shoemaker of the town of Selkirk. He was strong, stalwart, bold and sn excellent workman. Brydone was very glad to welcome him, as he reckoned him quite the best man of the hundred, and his comrades, who were also brave men and true, cheered him as he appeared among them, such confidence had they in bis wisdom, prudence, valor and strength. Hume's wife, Margaret, was a fine young woman and very fond and proud of her brave, strong husband. . Now, Margaret did not at all like this proposed Invasion of England. She felt that it would mean great trouble to the Scotch people, who would certainly be vanquished by their strong enemy, and the thought came to her that her own brave husband might perhaps lose his life In the struggle. She therefore used all her best efforts to keep him at home. She pleaded in vain. Alexan der was firm. At last she held up to his face their little five-months-old daughter and asked who would look after the child If he should die and who would keep her from misery and misfortune. Hume loved his wife and child, and these appeals brought the tears to his eyes, but they did not break down his resolution, which be had girt about him as armor. Nothing could move him to become untrue to his king and country. . Finding that no entreaties could move him, Margaret at last gave way to anger and told him that his eager desire to be thought the bravest man of Selkirk would not supply the child he was bound to work for with a bite of -bread. ' She said, even more than this.-Ser tones' grew higher, and one ymr& l&?tar nmiftberr-Tvto iutoir It win. until the couple parted in anger, he to- the field of battle and she to

remain t hiime. Alexander had not gone far before It flashed across the mind of his wife that perhaps she might never see him alive again. Unable to control herself, she flung the child Into Its crib and rushed out of the house. - She must see her husband again and get from him one parting glance or word of reconciliation. She hurried through the town, she sought everywhere for him, but be was nowhere to be seen. He had goue off with his comrades. The poor wife wept bitterly. Her grief was deep. Hume and his fellows were soon engaged in battle. He displayed the greatest bravery. Wherever he went numbers of the enemy fell. In every direction upon the field of battle he was seen. His companions kept well up to him, and In particular one man wbo had lately joined the party. This man fought with a courage equal to that of Hume himself, keeping continually beside him and defending him in many perils. Once when an Englishman from behind drew very near to the Scot this soldier struck the cowardly fellow to the earth just as he was inserting his spear between the clasps of Hume's armor. Hume called to the brave fellow and demanded his name, even in the midst of the fight, but the stranger said that that was no matter. This generous soldier wore a leather jacket and an Iron helmet, in which there was placed a small white feather. Wherever Hume fought on the battlefield there might be seen beside him the iron helmet and the white feather. At last the battle ended in defeat for the Scotch, who scattered in all directions. Hume. wbo. with other soldiers, was obliged to lie concealed In the forest for some time, took the first opportunity of Inquiring after his faithful attendant But all 'his Inquiries were without avail. He could not trace him. Nothing could he learn of him but that be had disappeared when the fight was over. Alexander Hume hurried to his cottage. He was anxious to see again his beloved wife and bestow upon ber the kiss of reconciliation. When he reached it he listened at the door, and his heart beat fast. He had kind words to say to ber from whom he had parted In anger, and his deep wounds needed dressing. He lifted the latch and walked in. All was stilL No wife came to meet him; no child's cry met his ear. On looking round the room he saw Seated in an armchair the knight who had fought so bravely beside him in the battle, wearing the same leather jacket, iron helmet and white feather. That person was Margaret Hume. She was dead and clasped In her dead arms the little child.
