Chambers Got His Seat. The Board sustained the minority and then the fight in the courts began. ~ Ex-Justices Willlam N. Cohen and William A’ Keene, of the Supreme Court, espoused Krulish's cause. Marks stood for Chambers, ‘The old charter said ‘the Board of Aldermen shall be the judge of the elec- tion, returns and qualifications of its own members." When it was amended the comma or “‘polly wog”’ between “elec- tion”. and “returns” was inadvertently omitted in copying, and it was con- tended before all the courts that that omission took away from the Aldermen the right to change the result of the election as returned by the Board of Elections. ‘Tae lower courts all sustained that view, but the Court of Appeals, in an j opinion written by Judge Cullen and goncurred in by Chief Judge Parker and Judges Bartlett, Haight and Werner, Bays the absence of the conima_ did not take away the power of the Board of Aldermen to decide upon the correctness of the returns and to say who was elected. POLICE GRAFT. Members of School of Instruc- tion: Paid $1 Each to Sergt.

LONDON, May 4.—Advices recelved het ‘to-day from Mojl say the British LOW CALLS ON FIREMAN HER McNally Has a Fighting Chance for Life, but in His Suffering He Thinks of His Comrade in Danger. RESCUERS WERE TOO LATE. Mayor Low called at Bellevue Hos- pital to-day and asked to see Wil:lam MeNally, the herioc flreman who was nearly burned to death in a daring effort to rescue a man from a blazing tenement. The Mayor was taken to the injured fireman's bedside. He re- mained only a few minutes after speak- Ing a few words of encouragement to MoNally. McNally turned on his cot after His Honor's visit’ and motioned to the doctor that he wanted to speak. His head and body were swathed in bandages. “How's the fellow we pulled out of the building?” he asked. “He's dead,’ replied the doctor. “And Jim—Jim McEvoy—he's all right, ain't he?” “Yes, Jim's gone to his home. Now rest yourself and don't any more.” MeNally and McEvoy, both of them young firemen and new men in the ser- vice, threw their chances of living to the winds yesterday in an effort to rescue Henry McWilliams from a blazing tene- ment-house at First avenue and Fif- teenth street. Every one except Martin Kuntz, Will- fam Cox and McWilliams escaped from the building when the flames started The first two were carried down a ladder from the third floor, and then MéWilliams appeared at a fourth-story, window, MaNally started up a ladder, followed by McEvoy. McNally dived into the window and reappeared with his clothes blazing. Mc- Evoy’s clothing also caught fire, but the plucky fire fighters carried McWill- lams to the street. He died in an am- bulance. HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTINES Board of Health Wishes City to Erect Model Institution Where All Who Apply May Be Treated Free of Cost. Ina communication to the Mayor to- day the Health Department goes on record as saying absolutely that tuber- culosis of the lungs—or consumption— can be cured, or at least arrested, espe- clally in its early stages. This state- ment is made In a formal resolution and the co-operation of the Mayor and Board of Estimate {s urged for the es- tablishment by the city as soon as pos- sible of a hospilal near New York for the exclusive treatment of consump- tives. it 1s the desire of the Department to bring about the building and mainten- ance by the city of a hospital building ample in accommodations to furnish treatment for every applicant suffering from consumption who may wish to take advantage of the city’s charity. As the best and most modern scten- tifle methods for treating consumption are by reason of their expensiveness out ot Teach of the poor, who are never- theless the greatest sufferers from th disease, President Lederle said to-day that it was absolutely Imperative that the city take Immediate action in the matter of erecting a hospital and sani- tarlum. He has been authorized to report to the Board of Estimate the total number of persons in this city suffering from consumption, and give a careful mate of the ‘number of new cases which may be expected to develop each year for the next five years, so that the Board may judge what’ hospital accommodations: will be necessary to provide for all. President Lederle added there was no question that the death rate caused by consumption would be decreased. Mayor Low has expressed great in- terest the subject, It will be dis- Guased at next Friday's meeting of the joard of Estimate an rtionment, when defnite action will be taken, the Mavor d_ to-day.

There is every reason why women should not trust thelr delicate con- stitutions in the hands of unskilled persons.

I took the medicines just as you advised and continued until I had taken six bottles of ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ and ‘Favorite Prescription.’ I know that your med- icines did more for me than all the medical treatment I had ever taken.
