Washington Pist, A novel combination of philantbropj and business is about to tak place jn "Fm ternal City,'' New Mexico, which will be inhabited sole ly by tuburculosis patients and their attendants. The citv will be located six ruileH west of Las Vegas, and will include 15 wqure mils of land, most of it 6 000 feet above 1 he sea. Theenterprise was made possible by the do nation of $1,000,000 worth of property by the Atchison, Topka and Santy Fee Rail road Company.- The city of Las-Veges donated 10,000 acres of land Patients having the means will bt treated at cost which is estimated to be about $50 a month. Those who have no means will be supported by frn ternal and religious organ izations to'which they may belong, each organization be ing required to pay $50.00 a month for every patient it sends to this great sanitari um. A city will be establish ed, to be governed by the consumptives themselves. The city will he composed of tents, patients in different stages of the disease living at altitudes found to be most beneficial to them. An oppor tunity for outdoor work will be afforded to all who are able to work. A fine hotel, fullv equipped, was donated by the lailroad company and will be occupied by relatives of the patients while visiting them. The promoters of this nov el enterprise of this novel en terprisc are prominent in fra ternal societies. 7hfy an nounced that after three yar-' work they have suc ceeded in affecting an organ izafion that will be Ruccess-. ful from the start. They ex pect to start "Fraternity City" with a 'population of 5.000 patients. No restrict Hon is made as to national ity or religious belief. Whether this pretentious community proves feasible or not, it is the conviction of medical experts that victims of tuburculosis shoul be seg legated uader the most fu vorable possible conditions, and made to live entirely in the open air. The plan inau rated in New Mexico embrar cvs t Ii nt? conditions, and in these respects, at least, is wise and worthy of publr support. The mo.e difficult problems ol community or ganization and management must, however, be tested by experiment before they can be considered as solved by the "Fraternity City" plan. It ha always been difficult to induce Americans of uny class or condition to herd by themselves under rigid roluM trry rules. They tire of decip line, and prclpr to trayel. If the New Mexico scheme over comes this tendency, andpro fides some method whereby patients may not ba too rigidly isolated from their friends, while at th same guarding against 4ill danger of infection, it will be a long step foi ward in the battle a gainst the scourge of con sumption, . Ten Bank Offlceri in one Priion. Wilmington Messenger, The penitentiary nt Colum bus, Ohio, opened itB doors on Saturday to receive A. 11. Spear, latecashiei of the O berlin bank, to close upon him for seven long years. He is the tenth bank official on the present roll of that instr tution. Just think of it ten bank officials and no two of them, we suppose, from the same hank, serving terms at the same time in one pr'son for embezzlement' and other fraudulent transactions with the money entrusted to their keepina. by the patrons of the banks. Some of these are men who occupied positions of trust and responsibility for year. Some had, by ap plication, attention to duty and tried honestly to work their way up from low-grade clerkships to the leading po. sitions in the banks. No doubt some of thern, before they fell bad bean more than once sorely tempted to com mit criminal breachesof their trusts, but had ' resisted the temptation. But the time came with each one of these when the strain on their mor a I strength was great r than they could bear mid con science gave way. Moral for titude to stand up against some temporary pecuniary embarrassment deserted them. The tempter told them they could take the money entrusted to their safe keep ing for their pressing needs and ret in n it before their ac tion was found out; that there were many men now living in wealth and stand ing high in the estimation of the moral and financial world who had done thesame; that it would be easy by specula tion to make enough money to pay back what they had taken and leave a goodly sum for themselves. No doubt there are among these ten men some who fal sified accounts, , made false entries in their books, swore to false statements, who, be fore they had given way to the first temptation, would have recoiled with horror at the bare suggestion that they should make temproa ry use of any of any of 1 1) e money of others over which they had control, but aftei awhile they began to listen to the tempter, bat still re fused to do his bidding. Then tbey began to argue the mat ter with him, still resisting, though that resistance giew weaker and weaker until at last the fatal step was taken with the idea of early restou ration and some of the bank's money was secretly 'borrowed.' Thence thedown ward road was easy which ended in disgrace and a cell in the penitentiary. HOT WEATHER PILKfc. Persons afflicted with pijesshould be careful at this season of t h e year, Hot weather und bad drinking water contribute to the conditions which make piles more painful and dangerous. Der Witt's Witch Hazel Salve stops the pain, draws out the soreness and cures. Get the genuine, tearr ing the name ol E. C, DeWitt & Co. (fodol Dyspepsia Cure Pigtsts what you afr True to His Convictions. Stephen Giinrd made no pretense of religion himself, and showed scant courtesy for the religion of otber men And yet Stephen (J i rani had profound respect fpr the reli gion that made men faithful One Saturday he ordered his clerks to come the follow ing day and unload a vessel which had just arrived. It was no work of necessity or of mercy. It merely suited the millionains convenience that the vessel should be unload ed as quickly as nossible and sent to sea again. One of his . lcrks hadslrongconvlctions and courage to act upon them. "lam not accustomed to do unnecessary woik on Sun day," said he, "and I cannot come." Mr. (jirard wasastonished; he was not accustomed to disobedience, and had no mind to tolerate it. He told the young man that unless he could obey insti uctiotis he must give up his position, and the young man went. For three weeks the dis charged man walked the streets of Philadelphia look ing for a position. His moth er was perilously near to want, and tlnsqnestiou lores ed itself repeatedly upon him whether his jonvictions bad required of him so great a sacrifi'.,e. When he was almost dis couraged, he was surprised to receive a messagefrom the president of a new bank, of fering hitn the position of cashier. Very graciouslv he accepted it, and later barned that it was St.-phen Oirard who had nominated him tor the situation. The bank pies identhud asked Mr. (Jirard if he could find him a suita ble man f r the place, and Mr. (Jirard, after some relive tion. named fhisyoung man. The banker wnssnprieed that he should name a man whom he had lately discharged. "I dischaiged him," saia Mr. Oirard, because he would nut work on Sunday, but the man who will lose his situa tion from principle is the man you can trust with your mon e.v." Even men who have no res ligion of their own appreci ate in others convictions that make them faithful. Sel. STRICTLY. (.ENf I.VE. Most of the patent medicine tes timonials are nrobubly genuine. The following notice recently ap peared In the Atchison, Kansas, (jlobe: "Joe Tuck, a well known engineer running on the Missou- 11 rucinc between Wichita and Kiowa, lately appeared in a big one, with a pict ure, and when he was in hi olfice today, we asked him about it. He said he had a territfic paiu in his stomach, and thought he had cancer. His drug git recommended Kodol and he says it cured him.

JJIackuru When you abjsq a boy for being worthless, remember bow Wrtljle you werg at his age. Joe Eolk'a Wisdom. Houston Post, Govermr Joe Folk, of Mis 8011H, is an eppigrammitaii nn of the purest ray serene. At a banquet given in h i s honor in New York recently ? he handed our these gems; "The Missouri idea means the enforcement of law, and if that law be bad, the reme dy is to repeal, not to ignore it." "Disregard of one law breeds disrespect lor all laws bro ken." "Hook mtn will observe e ven bad laws, but bad men will break even good laws. It should be that all men good and badbad, be compelled to keep all law good aud bad, because it is law." "The patriotism of peace is just as necessary as the pa triotism of war. The patiiot ism of the ballot iseven more necessary in a free country han the patriotism of the bullet." '"Plenty of men will die for their country, but the in a 11 who will live foi his city and state every day is the man the government needs," "The government neycr neglects the people unlessthe people first neglect the gov ernment." "No government, state or national, was ever better than the people made it, or worse than they suffered it to become." "Good citizens make good laws, but no bxw can in a k e good citiz?ns." "States and cities do. not consist of mortar and brick ana stone, but of the charac ter of their citizenship." All of which is sound politi cal philosophy. Some men will say these striking para graphs are glittei ing general ities of fine spun theories but they point the way to good citizenship and good govern ment. SAVED ItY DYNAMITE, Sometimes a flaming city is sav ed b) dynamiting a space thai ihe fire can't cross. Sometimes a cough holds on so long you feel as if nothing but dynamite would cure it. Z. T. Gray, of Calhoun, Ga., writes: "My jfj. liU a vcrv aggravated congh; which kept her awake at night. Two physicians could not help her; so she took Dr. King's New Discovery for con sumption, coughs and colds, which eased her cough, gave her sleep, and finally cured her."
