Commissioner of Health Dixon ot
i i "Pennsylvania has inaugurated a cam
paign against tuberculosis involving a
Iionsp-to-house inspection and instruction
by visiting nurses , who will go to the
liorno of every person applying to the
-State Dispensary for treatment. It will
be the duty of the visiting nurses to in-
struft the patient and the patient's fam
ily how to obtain the requisite amount of
* rcsh air. the most desirable foods , and
liow to conduct themselves so as to avoid
infection. Every member of a household
in which a consumptive lives will be 3n-
sppcted , and where there is a sign of ill
Ticnlth the suspected person will be per
suaded to adopt precautionary measure .
In. this way it is hoped the 'State will
be able to check the spread of "the great
white plague' ' by discovering hundreds
-of ca = es in the early stages when a cure
5s probable. The difficulty which has

OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS
AMAZING FIGUHES OT7 DIVOSCE.
ITKOXIMATKLY one million divorces were
iriitcd : in th6 TJnik-d States between 1SS7
and 190U , and half a million morn couples
have got as far as the divorce courts with
their marital unliapnincss. This information
is supplied by the Census Bureau. These
fijruros should cause good citizens to think.
The marriage ii-.stilutiou is rapidly losing'its sncredtioss.
The stigma that used to attach to persons breaking their
uarriage : bonds uo longer exists. Many people marry
now with a feeling that the relation is only provisional.
If it docs not prove satisfactory , they will break it. Wed
lock , which used to be regarded as a solemn thing , is
now entered lightly and treated with ir.diTerence. ( If the
husband is a "good provider" and the wife meets no man
she likes better , if the wife continues agreeable and
pretty , marriage is persisted in. If not , then the chain is
broken and liusbiml and wife seek new atiiuities.
The rapid growth of this manner of looking upon mar
riage is a serious matter for the country. Whatever the
cause , whether it be decay of religious beiief. God being
no longer considered a party to the contract , or some
thing els c , marriage by many people is no longer regarded
ns possessing a sanctity. I'.ut if this view should heroine
general , what will become of our civilization , based , as it
is , upon the family ? Here is matter of sufficient impor
tance to engage the best thought of every man who wants
to see his country preserved from danger. Our whole
structure of life rests upon the home , and if the home is
destroyed the structure falls. What can be done to dis
courage divorce and make marriage once more a serious
fact of existence ? Indianapolis Sun.
PAITICS.
AXICS in the financial world differ one from
another in in/ident and in their immediate
c.-.use : but the fundamental , underlying
cause is ahvnys the same overinvestment.
The- fact can best be made clear by sketching -
ing the circumstances which invariably pre
cede a panic. After a period of hard time
there is a gradual recovery. Business improves , labor
Is well employed , and ccii reree becomes more active.
Deposits accumulate in the banks , and mo'ney for mercan
tile purposes can be borrowed at low rates of interest.
For a time business is conducted cautiously and con-
Rcrvatively. Xot many large now enterprises are launched.
As prosperity is established , and ns the wealth of the
community increase0 , there is an extension of business ,
and the success which attends the movement justifies it.
But gradually confidence in the future leads to rashness.
Those who have been conservative risk more than they
have been accustomed to venture. This is the time when
large fortune * sometimes only fortunes "on paper" are
made quickly. Xew men appear in the markets with
small capital , but with great boldness. They speculate
on a large scale , prom-.ilo m.i.gniiirent schemes , and carry
them through by means of extensive loans , and by the
attraction of apparent su'voss draw n multitude of small
investors into their enterprises.
It is only when this proems of extension has gone to
the point of exhausting the borrowing power that the
crisis comes ; and the borrowing power is exhausted as
a matter of course when the available capital in the
banks has all bren lent. Then some enterprises one or
more which must have more money in order to continue
in operation find themselves unable to borrow ; or it ia
discovered that the market for some important com
modity is demoralized : or in some other way a weak
ness is developed , the weakness extends from one point
to another , and shortly there is panic.
Those who study the course of events which led to the
serious financial trouble in Xew York Ir.st month will dis
agree as to the immediate cause. Some will hold that it
came from political agitation , some will attribute it to
overcapitalization of certain large enterprises , others tea
a lack of loanable funds in the banks , and still others
to other causes. But in the last analysis it all comes to
the same thing overconlideiice in tiie future and invest
ment beyond the actual means of the investors. Youth's
Companion.
FATHER OF STSAIvIEOATING.
IE Scientific American lias always held that ,
if some individual must be chosen from
among the many who are associated iu the
development of any great invention , \\hose
name it ia to bear in the years to come , the
choice should fall upon the man who gath
ers together the unrelated and more or less
fragmentary work of his predecessors , stamps it with his
own inventive originality and gives it to the world in
practical working form. It is upon these principles of
selection that Bessemer is known as the father of the
modern steel industry ; Edison , of the electric light ; West-
iughouse , of the air brake ; Marconi , of wireless teleg
raphy ; Sprague , of the trolley car , and Parsons , of the
steam turbine.
With equal impartiality , prosperity has agreed to name
Fulton as the father of modern steamboat navigation. In
doing so , there has been no intentional slighting of the
work of earlier inventors ; of William Henry , who in 1703
was at work on the problem , and actually built a steam
boat propelled with paddle wheels ; of Fitch and Kum-
sey. who did excellent work in the last years of ihc
eighteenth century , and last , and by no moans least , of
gtevens. Indeed , if there is any one inventor in Ameri
ca who , on the strength of his practical achievements ,
presses Fulton rather closely for the claim to be con
sidered the father of steam navigation , it is Stevens ,
who in 1S04 ran a steam yawl from the Battery to llo-
boken , and three years later ran the Phoenix to Xew
Brunswick , and in less than a year after the trip of the
Clermont to Albany and hack , sent the same Phoenix to
Philadelphia by sea , thus securing the credit for inaugu
rating deep-sea navigation. However , the consensus of
opinion on the part of those who have made careful in
vestigation of the historical facts accords to Itobert Ful
ton the distinction of placing on a regular route , run
ning on schedule , the first practical passenger steamship.
The Clermont was no mere inventor's model. It was a
staunchly-built craft , designed for a special purpose , and
at its first venture it achieved what , considering all the
conditions , must be forever regarded as a brilliant suc
cess. Springfield ( Mass. ) Republican.
The bill clerk came out of the inner
oflice with a very red face , and , climbIng -
Ing upon his stool , proceeded to figure
on a scratch block , consulting from
time to time some papers which he had
brought with him.
The cashier waited until he had fin
ished and placed the papers in a file.
and then he asked : "Was he right in
a sort of way , Johnny ? "
The bill clerk scowled at his inter
rogator with an intensify which should
have forbidden further speech , but the
cashier was unabashed.
"I wouldn't take it so to heart , John
ny. " he said. "Anybody might happen
to be right once in a while. Yon are.
yourself , though 1 grant that you would
not be so brutal about it. 1 don't be
lieve you would call a man into your
room and give him such an everlasting
roasting over a trifling error that in
volved only a few paltry hundreds of
dollars at the most. I agree with you
that it would have been sufficient to
point out the error without making
coarse remarks about the mental ca
pacity of the man who made it. "
"Who told won that I got a roastIng -
Ing ? "
"Xobody , " replied the cashier. "It
was simply a case of deduction. I was
called in this morning myself in refer
ence to the matter , and the boss wanted
to know -\hnt kind of an .idiot asylum
he had endowed , anyway , and who was
the particular inmate responsible for
this piece of criminal carelessness. I
told him that you had perpetrated it ,
but that yen were not really responsible.
I might have argued that the term
'criminal carelessness * was misapplied ,
but lite manner did not extend a cor
dial invitation to indulge in argument.
So I inferred that his language to you
might have been intemperate. "
"If you think I'll take that kind of
talk from him. or anybody else , you're
mistaken , " said tiie bill clerk , gruilly.
"Ah , then you reproved him ? " said
the cashier , approvingly. "L'ui glad of
It. If anyone called me u blundering
chump and an unmitigated jackass and
told me that I would be kicked from
the top ol' the stairway clear down to
the main lloor upon any repetition of
my offense. I think I should reprove
him. But I hope you weren't lee se
vere with him , Johnny. lie is really a
sensitive man when you get underneath
a certain brusqueness of manner , and
it would be easy to hurt his feelings
without actually intending to do so.
Did you tell him to go to the dick
ens ? ' '
"No , I didn't , " replied the bill clerk ,
sullenly.
"I'm glad you didn't , " said the
cashier. "If you had , I think he would
have . been seriously wounded. You
didn't call him a Tat slob' and threaten
to 'knock his block off if he gave you
any of his lip ? ' I trust not You
know when/ man is inclined to corpu
lence he doesn't take any allustious to
his allliction in good part. lie may not
tell you in so many words that you
have grieved him. lie may even smile
and try to turn it aside as a joke , but
he won't take it , just the same. I'm
glad you restrained yourself , for I am
sure you would have regretted it if you
Imd not. lie is really a most estimable
man. "
"I'm glad you think so , " said the bill
clerk.
"A little hasty , T don't deny , " said
the cashier , "but estimable , neverthe
less. That is why I shall be sorry to
hear that you told him you intended
to quit working for him. lie may have
said a few things in the heat of
the moment , but nothing that would
justify you in making a threat like
that , I think. You know I'm sure you
know he would worry himself sick
over the awful possibility of a separa
tion. On that account.I feel sure you
didn't do more than hint obscurely at
such a punishment. I know when the
ofiice boy was getting his the other day
you expressed your determination to
call down the boss in the terms I have
*
mentioned , but you are not one of these
obstinate , set. mulish persons who never
change their minds. Do you know ,
Johnny , that I have a hunch that you
took your medicine like a little man
and said that you would be more care
ful in future. AmJ right ? "

PASSED LIFE AS A HSHJMIT.
Took to itie Woods V/licn. He Was
IJi.Mippoiiiteil in L.OVC ,
One of the strangest characters ever
known in South Dakota has .just died
in the squalid little hut near Rattle
snake Butte , west of the Missouri riv
er , in which he lived alone and friend
less for nearly forty years , says the
Xcw York Herald. In the early ' 70s
James Jimson same to the wild Da
kota territory as a trader among the
Sioux tribes of Indians. lie was al
ways friendly to the red men and made
friends as well as money. It is said
that he fell in love with one of the
beautiful young Siou : : girls , but as the
laws of the tribe forbid any intermar
riage with the whites , his love \vas in
vain. So. choosing a locality away
from his old scenes of activity , Jimson
lived alone , depending on a small flock
of sheep and several cows for a liv
ing.
This was forty years ago. The old
man's hair was as white as snow when
lie was found dead in the little hut by
a cowboy , and his clothes were in tat
ters. It is said that he possessed a
considerable amount of money , which ,
it is believed , he has buried or se
creted somewhere on the rough butte.
Amorg some papers found in a little
cabinet In the rock were letters dated j
1S70 , which led the discoverer of the i
man's body to believe he had friends |
somewhere in Franklin Count } * , Ohio.
The land he has lived on for so long
is valuable , as it is near the present
survey of the Milwaukee Railroad's
coast extension.
lie was probably the oldest continu
ous inhabitant of the western part of

r
Icier. Threatens to Place an Embargo
on ICarlret Speculation , of
All Kinds.
Washington correspondence :
HERE has been
a stuUlcn nv , alien
ing throughout
the country to the
fact that some
thing is going on
I n Washington
which threatens
gambling in cot
ton and grain ,
and possibly , too.
which aims to
place an embargo
on speculation in
stocks. IiHli."a.-
tions of this
awakening appear
in a regular Hood
of letters from tiie interests threatened
to the members of Congress , v.-h > > arc
identified with the proposed restrictive
legislation.
The reason which callr. forth those
letters lies in two l ils Introduced by
Senator Culberson , of Texas , and ilop-
j resentn tive Burieson. of the same
State , designed to wipe out speculation
in cotton futures. The bills are identi
cal and while they apply only to cot
ton , as originally drawn , there is like
lihood that if either of them is report
ed cut of the committee to which they
have been referred the provisions will
be extended to apply to wheat and oth
er grains.
The central idea in the Burieson bill
is tiie application of the power to reg
ulate Interstate commerce so as to re
strain telegraph and telephone compa
nies from trans
mitting messages
relating to a con
tract for the fu
ture delivery of
cotton. The use of
the mails also is
prohibited to pub-
! Heat ions cofttain-
: ing notices or rec-
oids of the trans-
j actions of any prod -
d u e e exchange
* cA
I wherein the con- - -
tracts aimed at in the measure are
'
: . : : .do. Heavy penalties provide the
'
ni' ar.s of restraining the telegraph and
telephone companies. It is the conten
tion of Representative Burieson that if
I information of the kind prescribed can
! > ' > kept away from the people living
outside Xew York and Xew Orleans it
Vv-ii ! put the Xew York Cotton Ex
change ouof business. Frankly , it is
admitted , that such is the object of the
bill.
The Boards of Trade in several
cities are aroused. Probably what
they cbieily fear is that public senti
ment against spec
ulation in both
stocks and bonds ,
which has been
accentuated by the
r e cent financial
condition , in a y
hasten a demand
for the passage of
the bill.
In addition to P
the Burieson !
tentative Hepburn , of Iowa , has in
hand a plan to regulate dealing in
stocks.
Both France and Germany have
adopted radical restrictive measures
relating to dealings in stocks , grain ,
cotton and other things on margins ,
and their example is being pointed to
by American legislators who are ear
nest in their intention of doing some
thing along the same line. The hrtvs
of France prohibit gambling in several
securities and provide heavy fines and
imprisonment for infractions thereof.
The French penal code also prohibits
"corners" or attempts to control the
supply or affect the prices of grain ,
flour , bread and other food products.
Stc Exports Increase.
Reports from Xew York and other east
ern seaboard ports indicate Xovember
