THE WAY TO RUIN.

The discussion of an expensive private Ilja.ll to be given by a very wealthy New iyork family affords opportunity for hasty condemnation and Pharisaism. Dr. 'ftainsSford, a very good and able man, who started i-the discussion, is not to be condemned for ?iis views nor hastily accepted as the final ^arbiter of an economic question. In the discussion of the rich and. the poor there 'tis a display of cowardice by many who are afraid to defend or excuse the act of a rich man, lest they lose votes or influence.

It is refreshing to turn to the New York Sun which despises sham and humbug and is as quick to attack them in the pulpit, pal«9e or White House as it •Is to defend the clergy or others in high places from unjust censure. Under the title, "The Way to Ruin," it justifies the expenditure of money lor the gratification of the various wants t)f man's complex nature and deprecates that saving which tends to make poor, as it says

The Rev. Dr. Rainsford advises people not to attend costly and luxurious social entertainments this winter, on the ground that •"this is not a time for such affairs," since they "furnish texts for homilies on the heartless extravagance of the wealthy in the face of poverty and destitution." In other words, the rector of St. George's would have all such gayety and all expenditure upon it cease, because, as he says further, "the lines between the two classes, those who have wealth and those who envy them," were never "more distinctly drawn." Of course, if people should not go to costly entertainments nobody should give them.

If, therefore, his advice were followed the rich would have to refrain from all luxurious indulgences which are obtainable by wealth only. The opera house would have to be closed, and the great body of people deriving their living from Its maintenance turned adrift. The theatres would have to. Shut up, depriving of employment other, hundreds of men and women, for they ar© kept open in the face of poverty anil destitution." shut out from them because of inability to pay the price of admission. The traders whose business it is to supply the luxuries now demanded by the rich would be driven into bankruptcy. The great and luxurious hotels would be empty. Servants would be dismissed by thousands because they are an "extrava*gance" denied to the poor. Livery stables would have no patronage. All except the cheapest class of restaurants would be forced to shut up, and the business of New York generally would receive the heaviest blow from which it ever suffered in its history.

The greatest injury that can be done to the prosperity of a community comes from enforced or voluntary economy on the part of society.If every family in New York should begin today to cut down its expenditures by a small fraction only, the sum of the loss to trade and labor would be ro vast that it would bring disaster to business and industry generally. If the rich, more especially, should cut off all "extravagance," the consequence would be an appalling increase in "poverty and destitution," for trades employing thousands of men and women would be deprived of support.

Dr. Rainsford, instead of preaching to his rich parishioners that they should curtail their luxurious expenditures "in the face of poverty and destitution," sljpuld rather exhort them to spend their incomes and not economize unnecessarily, and more, part'culariy at a time when trade and industry are in special need of the stimulus of such free expenditure, or "extravagance," as he calls it. If the advice he now give3 was followed by all those to whom he addresses" it, the number and the suffering and the discontent of the poor and destitute would be increased portentously.

AN ELIGIBLE CANDIDATES There is nothing^ to indicate the selection Of Mr. Gage as secretary of the treasury beyond what his friends say. The same kind of objections could be made to his politics by stalwart Republicans and "regular" Democrats, as he has voted for both Harrison and Cleveland, but he says that he never voted the Democratic ticket but cnce, when he voted for Mr. Cleveland in 1884. But as he voted for Mr. McKinley and accepts the St. Louis platform as embodying his ideas he would make a poor Democrat. As for the tariff, he has said, "I believe in the raising of revenue by CUST toms duties, so levied as to promote the general welfare by equalizing the difference between American and foreign labor," which is not free trade, but he is not a iigh protectionis\

There are two recommendations for Mr. Gage—he is a Western man, and he would support the principles of finance and currency that were endorsed by the decision of the last election. There would be no shilly-shallying or coquetting with the isms outside of sound and exact finance. We ought to have learned by this time that trimming and hollow promises do not pay nor win and hold friends who are worth the winning. -y

The Times-HeraUl published yesterday a rather remarkable collection of tributes to Mr. Gage paid by the representatives of many labor interests and -Arganlzations, from the secretary of the State Federation ot Labof down to Tommy Morgan, The latter was very ^complimentary in saying that Mr. Gage was diametrically opposed to every principle held "essential by him, but for all that he IlkeB and respected him. a

THEE POPULISTS' FREE SCHOOL. School District 54, in Perfects county, Keb., is inhabited by two families and crossed by one railroad, other families and industries having been driven away by the drought. The population is Popnlistic. It keeps up the school organization, elects the bead of each family as school trustee, collects the annual school tax of ft#7 from the ^railroad and hires a teacher to educate the .one child in the district. As the father of the one child boards the Mwcfyer, be gets lowif *ii the usufruct jfroai &e rtttrosd.

This arrangement had lasted for two y**rB when the other trustee, realizing that be did fiot get his share, demanded that the school teacher should board with bin*. failed in this very reasonable effort and at once discovered that the railroad was being imposed upon and notified it that it

There is quite a large class of free traders, calling themselves Jeffersonian, that advocates the buying abroad of anything which can be bought cheaper abroad. It condemns the prudence which protects the manufacture of the same articles at home.

Many of the members ,of the Bryan combination of 1896 are avowedly in favor of irredeemable greenbacks and have acknowledged that they never, had much faith in free coinage of silver at 16 to 1.There are enough of these people to make a considerable showing when gathered into one party, but when we recall how much the 50 cent value of a free coinage dollar had to do with its defeat we can feel confident that irredeemable paper dollars will have fewer friends than 50 cent silver dollars.

There is little reason for doubting that Senator-elect Mason of Illinois was a popular candidate among the people, and that the choice by the legislature was the same as if it had been left to a popular vote. Mr. Mason has been working among the people for many years with the senatorship in view, and seems to have made no mistake, neither have the people made any mistake. There is room and demand for many kinds of men in the senate, and Mr. Mason is one of the kinds.

Senator Peifer made more speeches, presented more memorials, was more persistently and monotonously conscientious and was more badly beaten than any other senator up for re-election, which should be a warning to Senator Allen to stop talking, and a lesson on Populistic fickleness.

O written together are like the

German AU, each letter being distinctly spokea, but so rapidly as to seem almost one single sound, as "cacao" (cack-ow), the chocolate bean.

The same is naturally true of au, itself. $ is liltejour fc in glory before all letters except and i, when it becomes strongly aspirated, shewing a Teutonic influence in the formation of the language. As an example we have Qeronimo (Hay-ron-ee-mo). til (ail-yay) in just as truly a single letter as 1, and ae recognized in the Spanish alphabet, along with the variation of n,( which they call (aln-yay). The 11 is pronounced like 1 and y, except at the beginning of words when it is more like alone. As examples ,t*ke llama (yam-ah), the camel sheep of the Andes cavallero (cav-all-yal-ro)j a gentleman. The ainyay we see in the common word nino (boy) and in senora. (the hotah) is like the aspirate, only more so. it is almost identical with the German ch—again hinting at Teutonic survivals.

Remembering that every letterhas a fair chance, we call the Spanish general, Weyler, Way-ee-lair. We say rey (ray-ee) for king. The lisp of Madrid is nearly lost in many parts of "New Spain." Cuba, herself, in spite of her grievances and her antiphathlea, retains mere and most countries, and contends that her» Is tfce true Castillian. For the matetr ®f that the same claims-are set up by every Seuth American republic. While a Cuba* or a Madrilleao (Math-reel-yain-oh) will say, when he speaks of the Cuban leader about wbfse fate so many contradictory stories have been put afloat, Math-ai-oh, most of the Spanish-American peoples will .cali^him Mass-say*oh, pure and simple,

The accent on most propter names ot more than two syllables—-and often of only two is on the penult. The exceptions are in names of foreign extraction.

Ch is always soft, as we see in the word trocba, so commonly used' at the present moment, in connection with the Cuban war. (Tro-cha, a military-high-road.)

A Spanish iborn son takes the names of both parents—that is, in ^families of any consequence. Instead of the-Bnglish hyphen used to designate two surnames the (and), pronounced ee, is employed to Join them. In this way different brandies of a family are at once recognized—by the maternal suffix, In a certain South American city of numerous family of Garcias (Gar-see-ass), one branch of which, containing several lawyers and politicians of prominence, is known as the Garcla'y Garcias, ^oth parents in this case having been Garcias. This is one of the commonest of Spanish names, and therefore instanced. Delgardo, a name sufficiently known everywhere just now, is another of the common patronymics.

The sounds of and are very nearly indistinguishable. This constitutes one of the few stumbling blocks of Spanish children if their spelling. Tfcey are as likely as not to Spell a word beginning with with a V, as in the other way.

ADRIFT IN MIDLAKE.

The Exciting Adventure of a Chlcage Wan With a Disabled Craft In a Gale. W^ith both mils of the boat blown away, the small craft half full of water, and himself so benumbed with the cold and freezing spray that he could scarcely move, Milton K. Edwards, captain of the, Lake View outer crib, was rescued yesterday morning two miles from shore after his -frail craft had been chased nearly an hpur by the tug Spaulding and the llfaboa£y which were trying to reach him beforf he. was upset by tbe sea that was running,0i

The line which savqi^p captain did not come from the tug, .says(i$te Chicago, Tribune, but was fluag by him to the LaJKe View outer crib, near which—tbe disabled craft was carried by the g^le,Y^X)d when the tug finally came up Captain Edwards was drying his soaked garipent. over a hot stove in the

There is only, one boat, at the crib, a small one rigged with two ff^ils* used for carrying the mails between the crib and the shore and for transporting an occasional passenger. It was to get the letters and the Sunday newspapers that Captain Edwards started for shpre just before noon yesterday.

The southwest wind- that had blown all the morning had loosened what shore ice there was and when the boat come close to the beach Captain Edwards saw that he could not make a landing on account of the floe. Accordingly he put about and headed again for the crib. ,*

Then the gale began. The small craft careened far over, shipped a little water, and went faster yet towards the crib and the line of breakers beginning to show close to It. Off towards Lincoln Park the fog suddenly began to break'away in ribbons and to blow out over the lake." The rain came with a force that cut the captain's cheek and struck the sails with a rattle like shot in a leather bottig.

A minute more and' 'the ribbons of fog ihat had been blowing from shore reached tbe voyager and with them a gale that amounted almost to a hurricane and half burled the boat for a moment in the water. When it righted both sails were tocn away like cotton rags and went driving before the wind out of sight. The boat went lumbering seaward with its two bare masts at times almost touching tbe crests of the bg waves that had piled up almost in an instan.

Even if there had been an oar in the boat it would have been useless. The little craft drove towards the middle of the lake with more speed going brohdside than it bad had boing bow oa.J All the captain could do was to lean to windward when it threatened to go over and call for belp. Driven along with the boat went masses of shore ice that the wind had loosened.

Half a mlie from the erib and a mile and a half from shore the choppy waves over which the boat had been driven became mountainous. The boit rolled sideways up their slopes and down into the trough again and then began to fill." At the top of one of the big waves the boil' Wajs spied from the crib.

When the wind changed to a gale the men had begun to look trqxiously for signs of the captain's craft. As long as the sails were set they could easily keep an eye on it, and they had no fear for him.

When the gale changed to a hurricane and the sails bley away the craft disappeared from the view of the men at the crib. Then, for the first time, they were alarmed. Finally, when the boat was signed at the top of a wave, minus its sails and going broadside on, plainly half full of water, and the captain helpless, they knew" the only safety of the man that was in it was in help from show. There was not. a boat at the crib in which-a rescue could be made.

One of the men rushed to tbe telephone and called up the fire alarm station. "Send a tug out to the Lake View crib, quick," he said. "There is a man adrift out here in a small boat.".-

A few minutes later the Spaulding was steaming down the river. At the life saving station it stopped and took the lifeboat and an extemporized crew of life savers in tow. Then it sped out into tbe lake.

All this while the sailless boat and the captain had been driving closer to the crib. If the wind had kept the same direction the boat would have passed about twenty rods from it. The gale veered sllgbtly, however, and the boat blew directly for the crib.

Captain Edwards saw the change and profited by it. In the boat was a long, stout line, and, gathering this into a coil, be took hold of the mast to steady jfclmself and threw it upon the crib as the,boat went by, A fwon on the crib grabbed the line and thf captain was safe.

When the tug arrived Captain Edwards had climbed out of the* beat and was recounting his exciting iyip inside., The tug turned -back and the .^tain's craft was hauled out pf the wat«r,for.a new set of sail..

X1W YOBK HBALTB BOARD'S TUBERera own obobIi wioropto.

Doctors and Others Sar Caasaaapfclvea Mast Kot Be. Treated Aa l«epers-gf Views of 'Haparta.

New York, Jan. 25.—The action of the Board of Health in amending the sanitary code so as to Include pulmonary tubercutosl. among the infectious and communicable dfceaae.' dangereu. te public health, has raised a general howl of indignation throughout the city. That the twenty thousand or more persons in New York who suffer from consumption are to bo registered, recorded and marked as person, who are dangerous to public health will, many fear, make them as thoroughly shunned as are lepera or those who suffer from smallpox. Many doctors say that all the suffering that will be occasioned by putting the stamp of pest on many bread-wtn-ners will not benefit humanity, because, they say, the germ of consumption is in the air, and that if all consumptives were killed, as cattle with pulmonary diseases were a few years ago, the disease would not be stamped out, and the man

woman with

weak lung would Btifl be subject to the di^eqse through the germs in tbe air coming in contact with unhealthy spots of the Diucuous mebrane or lung tissue.

Men and women in society who are slightly affected by tuberculosis, a&d those who have to struggle to support large families on small wages, will suffer alike, say those who declare that the new law te ah outrage. They point out that there are no persons more ambitious either in earning bread or in sustaining family pride at sdcial function, than those who have consumption, and tl^at to mark this army of twenty thousand men, women and children in the present city and twice that number In greater New York as a set of persons to be shunned will be a useless outrage.

Dr. Robert Huiiter, who has made a specialty of treating pulmonary diseases for fifty years, and who says he has treated or observed fifty thousand cases, said to me: "I cannof find word, with which to express my indignation at the Board of Health for this foolish action, which will do no good and more harm than any one can contemplate. To begin with, consumption is not a communicable disease. History shows this. There never was a case that was contracted by contact with another case. The germ is hot given off by tho person suffering from the disease. It is in the air. It used to be believed that the disease was hereditary. Weak lung tissue runs in families, and a person with weak lungs, of course, will succumb more readily to th^dlse^se, as the air he breathes is filled with the germs of tuberculosis. "It is fbut six years since the existence of the germ was discovered, and now the Board of Health proposes to break up twenty thousand families and isolate that number of individuals to experiment with that of which they can know but little. They say they intend to isolate the more dangerous cases only, but who is to decide which cases are the mors dangerous? It is simply a plan to put away twenty thousand industrious, ambitious people who are a benefit to society and whose presence in the community can do no harm. They are to be separated from humanity forever. Even those who are permitted to remain in the community will suffer as much as those who are isolated. "Think of the workingman branded as e, pest distributor. What can he do? Who will work beside him? Who will go into his store? He cannot ride on the street cars or go to church. They might just as well isolate persons suffering from ringworm. If your skin is healthy you cannot have a ringworm on your face. If it is not healthy the germ of the ringworm that is everywhere in the air will establish itself in the skin just as the germ of consumption will establish itself in the weak or diseased lung tissue, whether you are in a sick room or in a pine forest. There is as much consumption in the country as in the cities, and persons who never came in contact with consumptives are as liable to the disease as are nurses in hospitals for consumptives. -'V

In decreeing consumption contagion, like smallpox, and decreeing measures looking to the imprisonment of those afflicted with it in pesthouses, the New York Board of Health inaugurates a war of extermination, not against consumption, but aqyiinsi consumptives, and commits the most farreaching invasion of personal liberty ever attempted by any medical organization since the foundation of the art of medicine. I pronounce its assumptions and tbe inferences drawn from them to be utterly untenable, contrary to the aetiology of the disease, and a cruel and dangerous delusion, which, if carried out to its only logical conclusion, would inflict widespread misery upon the afflicted and hasten the death of thousands without lessening the prevalence or fatallity of the disease by the least infinitesimal part. The board of health was not organized and is not qualified to settle most points In the nosology of disease. It has no more right on a mere theory, without accompanying proofs, to declare consumption contagious than it has to declare dyspepsia or any other locaf disease oontaglous.

Dr. Abraham Jacoby of the Academy of Medicine, says: "The germ of tuberculosis we are eating, drinking and breathing every day in the week, and always with impunity when the general health is maintained at a proper standard."

J. M. Da Costa, M. D. LL. D., professor emeritus of principle, and practice of medicine in Jefferson medical college, says on the subject: "Why fix the brand of leper upon a poor unfortunate because he has consumption, wh^n the medical officer can do all that is necessary? Under other circumstances why should we place a stigma upon the consumptive, why hare him pursued from hi. bouse, why have him a marke dman, why have the house a marked one. If you want ever to get rid of the consumptive it is not going to be simply by the disinfection of sputa and similar means."

President Charles G. Wilson, of the health board said yesterday: "It would be strange if Vnch a decisive step did not cause some fault finding. I am satisfied that tbe amendment to the sanitary code will greatly benefit the general health of the community.

A Mr. Keller was the moving fipirlt of the Christian Endeavor Society in the church. His views came into collision with those of Mrs. Thomas, so say the pastor's supporters. Mr. Keller resigned.

After a few weeks of the new treatment he found himself in prectically perfect health, and has since remained in that pleasurable condition.

A special ward in one of the London hospitals has been set apart for poor patients suffering from heart disease to be operated upon after this method, and demonstrations of it are given to medical men throughout the country by Dr. Thorne.
