He Arraigns Episcopal Clergymen at an Ex- citing Meeting in New York. New Youx, May 4.—At Chickering Hall yes- terday afternoon Father Ignatius, the Anglican monk, held the most extraordinary meeting a of his present crusade against what it has | pleased him to term “The bold repudiation of Christian religion in the Episcopal church.” | Father Ignatius in’ his address demanded that Rev. Heber Newton be expelicd from the church or compeiled to retract his views, which wero simply those of K. G, Ingersoll. Father Ignatius communded all those who were on the Lord's side cither to join him on the plitform or rise in their places in the audi- torium. Several clergymon mounted the plat- form in response to this appeal. When he usked the people who believed with him to rise and a large proportion of the audience re- mati ated from an evident aversion to taking sides or making themselves conspicuous, | he cried joudly that these should remember thet he construed their lukewarmness as evi- dence that they denied the mirucnlous birth and resurrection ot Christ. Everybody then got up. When the above climax was roached Father Ignatius’ face streamed perspiration. He gasped for breath and seemed to grasp his Feading desk for support. He confessed that in the past few dayshe had been afficted with fainting spells and feared that another of them might prostrate him any minute. At te close of the meeting the platform was literally besieged by the enthusiastic audience. With difficulty Father Ignatius tore himself from their eager hands, entered his coupe and was driven to his hotel, where for some hours he lay completely prostrated. He was unable to preach last evening. os tN QUIET AND HEAVY, The Market Opens With Activity in Only About Half a Dozen Stocks. New Yonx, May 4.—The stock market this morning replaced the firmness of Saturday with heaviness and even weakness in some of the leading shares, while there was compara- tive neglest of all but ahalf dozen stocks in which all interest was concentrated and which gave what character to tho market it posse ‘The prices showed small and irregular changes from Saturday's final figures, but there was a majority of de- clines and farther losses were the result of the subsequent trading. St. Paul, as usual, was by far the most active stock, and Burlington and Rock Island led the downward movement, each Joring 54, 8t. Paull and Union Pacific following wit land, Atchison, Missouri Pacific, Northern Pacific preferred, Louisville and —- showed considerable activity, but none of last named made any material movement. The and Lake Erie stocks reversed the general drift of prices, advancing in the early trading, but falling away sharp late: hour. At 12 o'clock the market was quiet and heavy. ————__- — STRIKES IN NEW YORK. Five Handred Molders Join the Ranks of ‘Those Not at Work.

THE IRON MOLDERS’ STRIKE, Confidence Expressed That Work Will Be Resumed This Week. The papers that were read today were ae fol- William | STATE BOARDS OF HEALTH. Interesting Papers Read at the Sessions of the Conference Today. THE SUBJECT OF CONSUMPTION INTELLIORYTLY AND EXHAUSTIVELY DISCUSSED—SOME INTER- ESTING STATISTICS 48 TO THE PREVALENCE OF ‘TAR DISEASE. PRESENTED—OTHER QUESTIONS. ‘The meetings of the conference of state boards of health that have been in session Sat- urday and today at the Ebbitt Honse have Proved to be of the greatest interest and value. Saturday was devoted mainly to a discussion as to what could be done to prevent the introduc- tion from southern parts of contagious diseases. This morning was given up to « paper and the ensuing addresses upon the matter of con- sumption, its nature and treatment. Alittleafter 10 o'clock the meeting was called to order by Dr. J.N. MeCormack, the presi- dent, who announced that the first question for discussion was the ‘one proposed by the | state board of health of Kentucky: What should state and local boards of health teach and what should they do to pre- | ‘vent consumption? DR. P. BH. BRYCE’S ParER. The discussion was opened bya learned and thorongh paper by Dr. P. H. Bryce af Toronto, Ont. He thought that after the investigutions by Dr. Koch and his predecessors there could | be little doubt that tuberculosis is a zymotic | disease, to be placed in the same category as leprosy and glanders, inocalable, and hence contagious. The segregation of animalsuftlicted with glanders does much to prevent its gen- eral spread among other animals, and one might imagine an ideal state of civilization wherein cases of phthisis could be separated from the unaffected people. As the dixcase is more studied and better understood the less credence is placed in the dangers from heredity and more from contact. TREMENDOUS PREVALENCE OF PHTHISIS. Dr. Bryce read a number of statistics show- ing the tremendous prevalence of the disease and the fact that while in the country and rural districts the disease is to be found one case to every thousand, while in crowded cities it is as two to the thousand. Tuberculosis is not necessarily confined to the human race, and there is even aconstant danger arising from the use of milk from cows that are afflicted with tuberculosis. Milk from dis- eased cows has been inoculated into guinea pigs and eight per cent of them developed the disease, as did also a large number of pigs that were fed upon such milk. Toussaint in the French congress stated that aix per cent of ail cattle are tuberculous. In Saxony it has been roved that as auimuls grow older they are more liable to tuberculosis.more than half of the cases being cattle above the age of six years. This isastrong element of proof that the disease is contagious. Another thing that proves this also ix the fact that in Germany it has been noted that when the disease increnees among the animals it also increases among human beings at the same rate, while the rate of de- crease is the same in both cases. WHY IT ATACKS THE POORER CLASSES. As to the prevalence of the disease among the poorer classes, notably in the crowded dis- tricts in London, Dr. Bryce said it is due to the overcrowding, in unsuitable quarters. with unnutritions food. Linbility to the discare Da. J, NM COBMACK. arising from insufficient nutrition does not cease with the teething period. With small children in cities ithe milk used for their food is bonght in small quantities, cheap and heavily diluted, and after the pur- chase this milk is likely to be diluted with Water, 60 that it is impdssible to aay how much nutritive quality there is in the food. The disease among such people is largely attribut- able to the marasmus arising from insufficient food of poor quality. In England the proportion of disense among women is much larger than it is among men, showing the dangers arising from confinement indoors, ‘Lhe nature of the occupation pursued, es} cially in the case of adults, teken in connection with the ventilation and condition of the quar- ters occupied, has a very large influence in the matter of the prevalence of the disease. Soil and climate alvo enter largely as an clement of cause. Ground water is an important factor in the prevalence of consumption and in certain parts of England, where the subsoil has been drainod, it has beon noted that the death rate has failen about 60 per cent. BI CONCLUSIONS. ‘These studies on the nature and prevalence of phthisis Dr. Bryce made introductory to cer- tain results which he laid down. First, that phthisis is 2 contagious disease. Second, that on the assumption that that is true as health officers it wus the duty of the society to treat itassuch. Third, that the treatment of the weuse in it all the characteristics of a sanitary crumde. To deal with the disense successfully it is necessary to go at it in » preventati as in treating jiphtheria and other such diseases by remov- ing the cause. The habits and lives of those affected should be 0 regulated that they will not endanger the health and lives of those not affected, and hospitals and sanitaria should be established where the disease can be properly treated. The houses of the people should be better arranged, ventilated, heated und drained, and there would be much less liability to the disease. In cases of consumption Dr. Bryce said he had no idea of recommending isolation in the sense that diphtheria is isolated, bu: he did think that when it became known that case of phthisis had developed in a dwelling or a fac- tory it was full time that the sanitary officers should have the rigut and it should be their duty to step in and regulate the mnitary arrangements of the house or building. Cura- tive institutions for the treatment of consump- tives must be in their nature essentially sani- taria, where a pare life can be led with plenty of outdoor exercise under favorable circum- stances. ; DR. VAUGHN DISCUSSES THE SUBJECT. Dr. Vaughn of Ann Arbor University, Mich., continued the discussion in an interesting ex- tempore talk in which he said he agreed with everything Dr. Bryce had said. They must all agree that the disease is a contagious one caused by the tubercular bacillus, but there is another clement that enters, namely, susceptibility to the dis- ease. "We have’ ail inhaled bacilli and yet the majority of us have not developed consumption. The germ is far more likely to be transmitted by the sputa and discharges,and he said it was their duty to tench the peo the value and necessity of disinfectants. He disagreed with Dr. Bryce in that he favored the segregation of consumptives in state hospi he suid tin his opinion if such cases could be isolated the dis- ense be completely eradicated. Dr. could Vaughn said it was doubtful whether as much danger to be feared from infected cattle as is generally thought to be the case. DE. BALCH ON GANITATION.

ROCK CREEK PARK OWNERS. Another Hearing by the Commissioners To- day—But Five Gentlemen Present. The Rock Creek Park commission gave another hearing this afternoon to those pr: erty owners whose land is embraced within the boundaries of the proposed park, and who were not present at the meeting last Monday. The hearing was simpi, the owners held their land, It is understood that several of the owners have signified their willingness to abide by the prices otfered by the commission. The commission occupied the private office of the Engincer Commissioner, asat the Inst hearing. Capt. Rosell entered the main office and called for all property owners whose names commenced with the letter A. He found but e gentlemen waiting. Messrs. Wm. Stone Abert representing ‘ilomus Islugden, KE. Pairo, C.F. Scott, L. C. Williamson and J. 4 Batler. Mr. Abert was the first to enter. He had with him a ietter from Mir.

Arnold rel: the cleaning of alleys and a prope in the method heretofore followed: I have the honor to submit the inclosed papers in reference to the proposed change in the manner of cleaning the unimproved alleys in the city of Washington, D. C. Heretofore the work has been performed by laborers employed and paid by the District government by the « Mr. Hodge, the sue- cessful bidder for cleaning both the improved and unimproved alleys of the city. claims that he should be allowed to goon with his co: tract as to the latter class of alleys. certainly necessary that correct measurement as to the area of same should be had, in order that the proper allowances muy be made Mr. Hodge for performing the w Under date of July 4, 1896, and again on Oc- tober 9, 1590, this office cailed attention to said contract and the necessity of having proper meusurements made, ax there was an evident conflict ax to figures showing area ¢ in said alleys. Up to date thivottice hax surements furnished, ou closed papers, requesting that ficial measurements be giver. as soon ax por sible, provided always that you deem it best to allow Mr. Hodge to proceed under his contract for said work. "The lists or schedules of routes submitted aggregate, ax near ux 1 can estimate from the figures at hand, about 304,971 square yards. The alleys are grouped together as I deem wil! best suit the contractor and about as they are worked at present. 1 submit both sets of measurements. First. Those taken | from the oid schedules in use several years ago, copies of which I submitted with my ‘former letters on this subject Second. The measurements tarnished by the computing engineer under date of April 19, 1885. As some of the allers have since been paved entirely, some partially paved, and again us we are now cleaning alleys that have been opened or extended since the date of either of suid measurements referred to, and of which latter no urement exists, it is plain to be seca that it is necesury that the wile matter should be referred to ihe engincer de- partment to obtain the litest and most acea- rate measurement in order that no errots may be made in making allowances for work per formed by contractor should ke proceed. 1 wish to state that asa matter of “economy it is betier that the work of cleaning said un- improved alleys be done under contract. As to its being done as well by that method as it is now [am free to say that 1 do not think ic will, or can be, particularly at the price tor which the Hodge contract calls, viz., 29 cents er 1,000 square yards. As near ‘as 1 can estimate e actual cost of present method (cleaning by labor gangs),after making due allowance for the time cousumed in said gangs being shifted from place to place | to meet complaints aad time consumed in per- forming other work, such as cleaning gutters, sidewalks, cutting weeds, &., it amounts to about $1.50 per 1,000 yards. "At that rate as compared with the price under the Hodge con- tract there appears to be a difference or saving of $1.21 per 1,000 yards. But, as I bave already said, 1 doubt very much if Contractor Hodge (or any other coutractor at a like price), it beid strictly to the letter of his contract, which J | propose he shall be, can do the work at the sum named in his contract. 1 submit the foregoing remarks in order that your attention may be the more directly called to the subject that if in the future complaints be made as to the conditon of said alleys, or that tronble should arise with the contractor, as I fear there will, it will be seen that I have not failed to present both sides of the question. ‘Commissioner Douglass, who has the immedi- ate charge of the cleaning of streets and alleys, referred the papers to the auditor with the re- quest that he look into the matter and report upon the correctness of the figures contained »| im the schedules furnished by Superintendent ‘The auditor did this, and his ‘hed to hear at what price | Bat before | allowing him to proceed with said work it is | 98, and Virgie, 85.
