U ot Now York, but formerly of Parsons, where his parents reside, Is reviewing the work of the congress of physicians and surgeons at Washington, D. C, for tho New York Journal. , In his report of the first clay's ses sion, printed yesterday, was the fol lowing Interesting resume of tho pro gress made In fighting consumption: The proceedings reflect what is latest In scicn title medical practice and theory. The most striking contribution on this first diy was the review of the sanitarium treatment of tuber culosis by tho great American pioneer in this method of thirapciiticsi. Dr. II. L. Trudeau, of Sarmiac, N. Y. All other methods ot tieating tubciculosls have attracted popular attention. Kspcoially have all the various drugs nnd scrum icmedies for the disease been thoroughly ex ploited by the newspapers. l'or a quarter of a century the open air treat ment of tuberculosis lus been humbly, modestly, but surely accomplishing its great work of salva tion for the consumptive. Only now Is this method beginning to attract the public attention it deserves. Dr. Trudeau'a statistics show that nearly 40 per cent, of the patients in the pre liminary Mages of consumption have been cured by the banltarium treatment. Nearly 40 per cent, more have been decidedly benefited. Of nearly 1.20U patients who have been treated at Saranao in thso last fifteen jcars more than one-half arc still alive, and more than SCO of them arc in good health. It looks as if at lavt the awful power of humanity's greatest Ecourge was broken. Moie than one-eighth of the human race is carried off every jcar by tuberculosis. We fear the fo-callcd contagious diseases, but consumption kills more than all of them rut together. The maxims of the new treatment arc air, ret and a plentiful nutritious diet. No matter how cold the weather, patients must get out into the open ar. At night the air must have free aicess to their sleeping rooms. People fear tho deleterious effect of night air. i:ven phjti cians sometimes encourage the notion of its harmfulncst At night the only puie air is Hie night air, and pure air consumptives must have at all hazards. liven during unpleasant weather patient suitably dad must pass a good part of mcir lime outsiuc. Whenever there is fever, alwolulely no exercise must be taken. Rest is a Important as air for the consumptive. It has been objected that without ecrcle the appetlto will grow- less Experience has shown, however, that when patients pas most of their time in the open air they can be brought to consume large quantities of milk and eggs and properly selected fats without disturbance of digestion. Besides the Improvement In this rational method of treating consumption, one other fac tor that baa contributed greatly to the decrease of the mortality from tiiliereulosls was brought out by Dr. Trudeau. It Is the early diagnosis of the disease by means of the A-rajs and In jections of tuberculin. The earlier consumption is recognized the greater ure the hopes of Its ultimate cure. Just as soon as the first symp toms of disturbance of health are noticed and bcfnic cough or expectoration occurs these methods ot examination show the existence ot tho consumption In the lung. J lie diaphragm on the affected side it cannot be seen with the Itoentgen rajs does not move as on the other side, and the portion of lung invaded bv tho tubercle bacillus casts a daiker shadow. The tuberculin reaction shows the pres ence of tuberculosis even when the Itoentgen rajs fail. Under the influence of these newer methods of early diagnosis and effective treat ment, the twentieth century will see a ery dif ferent state of affairs with regard to tuberculosis fiom that which exists at picsent.

Their Report on tho Unsanitary Con dition of tho Local Prison Was to Have Been Presented to the Board of Health, but There Was No Meet ing Held Fault Found with the Whole System of Plumbing New Death Certificates Needed Secre tary and Food Inspector's Reports. Plumbing Inspector O'Malley and Health Olllcer Allen, In a report which they had ready to be presented nt last night's meeting of tho board of trade, but which was not presented, owing to the absence of Doctors Rey nolds nnd Rodham and President Goorgcllorn, condemn tho prison cells In the county Jail as being unfit for occupancy and otherwise lind serious fault with the sanitary arrangements of that Institution. It will be remembered that at the last meeting of the board tho plumbing In spector and health officer were direct ed to Inspect tho plumbing at the county Jail and to recommend to the county commissioners the necessary Improvements that should be made. v The rcnort elves a technical and thoroughly complete description of all' the defects found in tho plumbing, which must bo In a very bad fcondl tlon, according to their report. The Individual closets In each cell are con demned for several reasons. The valves In many Instances are Inopera tive and the water supply pipes are bo crowded that there Is not enough of a supply to properly flush the clos ets. In some cases tho clean-outs are removed, leaving apertures four In ches across through which sewer gas escapes. Tho closet on the ground Moor Is directly opposite the cell ventilator and tho foul air from It accordingly passes over tho beds of tho prisoners occupying the cells. The ventilators used for changing, the air In the cells were found to bo useless, owing to tho fact that they are choked with refuse. In reference to the general condition of the building the report says: "Speaking from a general and from a sanitary standpoint we would condemn as unfit for occupancy nil of the prison cells in their present condition." They recommended that the whole system of plumbing In the building be overhauled nnd remodeled. This will mean a great expense, but It Is a nec essary expense. NEW DEATH CERTIFICATES. Dr. Allen's report also dealt with some trite subjects, among them be ing the necessity ot adopting a new form of death certificate to replace those now In use. Regarding this he says' "I would respectfully suggest that the form of physician's certificate ot death be changed by prefixing the statement ot tho phvetcian signing It by a clause stating that he or she had personally attended the deceased In his or her last Illness and by adding a clause forbidding a certificate based upon post mortem viawn of a dead body and statements nf. so-called heal ers not legally ciualllled to practice medicine." In many other cltlc3 It Is required that the physician making out tho cer tificate shall have attended the de ceased twenty-four hours prior to death. The doctur also calls attention to the necessity nf navlng some method of collecting gatbage. "There are largo quantities of offensive matter deposited In vacant lots In tho city," pays he, "regardless of location or surroundings. This is dona by people otherwise respectable perhaps at night nnd there Is no way of pre venting It until a proper system of collecting garbage has been put In force." He also calls uttcr.tion to the stream of water running through the Dun more and Forest Hill cemeteries, where thousands of bodies are Interred nnd passing for a mile through -the dense ly populated district of Oreen Ridge, lie ii'cominencU that a committee be nppolnted to determine whether or not this 1 n menace to ncalth and If so to devise means bv which It can be disposed of. Tim secretary's report for April was as follows: Actua' mortality, 179; deaths frori accidents, 10: total deaths, lb9; births. 73, 33 males nnd 38 fcmules; marriages, 32. There ro 203 cases of contnclous dlueaee reported, C3 of which were diphtheria pud 136 scarlet fever. There were 14 deaths from scar let fever and 13 from diphtheria. The food Inspector's report was as follows: Stores and market Inspec tions, 9: number of la(.touX;tor milk tests. lbJj number of Babcock milk tests, r.t; average per cent., total solids. ll.SS: average per cent butter fat, 2.R0. The following were destroy ed: Veal, 50 pounds; poultry, 103 pounds: fish, 4,000 pounls: tub oysters, 120 quarts. THEY REFUSE TO SIGN. Two Wyoming Avenue Residents Will Not Sign Release. Two men.whose properties abut upon the right of way through which Wy oming avenue Is to be extended, have refused to sign the release fram dam ages which may bo caused by grading the street. All of the other property holders have signed except these two, who are W. W. Ruane and M. F. Gil- Coursen's Fancy Fresh Creamery Butter, 2 c per pound 3 and 5 lb Boxes, 22 lb. Finest Butter Made, Fresh 'Daily E. Q. Coursen Wholesale and Retail. roy. The latter1, by the way, was John 13. Roche's opponent at tho last elec tion for select counoll, and It might bo mentioned Incidentally that Mr. Roche was tho orig inator of the movement for the open ing of tho street. So that tho street may bo graded, the Colliery Engineer company has ngrced to file with tho city treasurer nn In demnifying bond In the sum of $500 to Indemnify tho city from any dam ages which might be, allowed cither Mr. Clllroy or Mr. Itttane In tho fu ture. An ordinance providing for tho acceptance of this bond will bo Intro duced tonight In select council. J. H. PHILLIPS THE MAN. Will Probably Be Elected to Succeed His Brother on School Board. It seems to be generally conceded that John Henry Phillips, of thy Fifth ward, will bo elected n week from next Monday night by tho board of control as the successor to his brother, the late D. I. Phillips. Some member of tho board happened to propose his name and the suggestion is mining with such general favor that It Is be lieved that factional differences will be sunk and that he will bo elected unanimously. Mr. Phillips Is a Republican and is very popular In his ward. Up Is the president of the local branch of the National Letter Carriers' association, and will bo placed In charge of the new branch postoftlco to be establish ed In West Scranton. COMPENSATION CEASED. Controller to Receive No More School Board Money Ordinance to Restore Clerk Hire Item. City Controller Howell's compensa tion from tho school board ceased on Monday when the supreme court's de cision affirming tho constitutionality ot tho act of 1S74 was handed down. It Is not expected that the board will allow him any further compensation. When they did decide to pay him It was becauso a majority of the mem bers believed that the school district's accounts should be audited, and Inas much as Judge Archbald ruled that the controller had nothing whatever to do with school board warrants, the con troller was hired as a special auditor, and not in his ofllclal capacity as con troller of tho city's finances. Now that tho supremo court has decided that he must countersign all warrants. It Is not expected that tho board will allow him any further salary. It would be useless for him to refuse to sign as he could "be mandamusod and compelled to, or else be punished for contempt of court. Tho controller's clerk hire having been vetoed by the mayor, the only emoluments he now receives Is his sal ary of $2,000 a year. Mr. Roche's ordinance rc-approprlating the clerk hire comes up for first and second reading tonight in select council, and will undoubtedly puss. It may meet with a snng In common, however.whcre M. V. Morris Is believed to have a majority of votes pledged for his or dinance appropriating $1,200 for two additional permanent men, and tak ing the funds from the vetoed item of clerk hire.

Spoke Last Night in Green Ridge Presbyterian Church. E. B. Sturges led the regular prayer meeting at the Green Rldgo Presbyter ian church last evening and afterward j spoke on missions generally, and mis sions in Porto Rico especially, from the text found In Isaiah, xxlv:15, "Wherefore, glorify ye the Lord In the flres, even tho name M the Lord God of Israel, In the Isles of the sen," and Isaiah, xl:10, "Sing unto the Lor.l a new song and Ills praise from the end of the earth, ye that go lo-vn to the sea, and all that Is therein: the Isles, and the Inhabitants thereof." He told of the general Industrial par alysis that followed the American In vasion and then of the awful devasta tion caused bv the great hurricane of last August.

Tho Paved Streets Are Flushed at Regular Intervals and the Block System of Cleaning Has Also Been Adopted A Certain Number of Blocks Are Apportioned to Each Cleaner Result of the System Is That the Paved Streets Are Kept Comparatively Clean. Street Commissioner Roland Thomas has now got his system of cleaning tho city's paved streets In complete work ing order, and tho neat appearance of the asphalt pavo during the past week or so has been favorably commented upon by many who a few weeks ago could not find adjectives strong enough to qualify their opinions on tho then dirty condition of tho streets. The streets are now cleaned by both flushing nnd by the hand brush. There are two street Hushing gangs who nre busy each and every night In tho week. The streets In the central city and on tho "hill" district nro flushed at least four and sometimes live times a week. The Green Ridge pavements and Washington avenue from tho Erie and Wyoming station out to Marlon street are flushed three times a week and the West Scranton paved streets, both asphalt and Belgian block, ulso get a dose of water three times a week. On tho morning of a day on vhlch the streets are to be flushed In tho central city and West Scranton, a gang of men Is sent out to thoroughly sweep off all the heavy dirt. The members of this gang nro then separated and each man Is given a ceitaln number of blocks to sweep oft. This Is gener ally from four to six on tho quiet streets, and three on tho busy thor oughfares, such as Lackawanna and Wyoming avenues. At night the flush ing gang flushes tho streets, the water taking oft all tho fine dirt which tho brushes can not get up. Tho day after the streets are flushed the men who- were assigned to certain sections ot streets the day before take care of these during the entire day nnd are held solely responsible for their condition to the foreman. There are now about thlrty-flvo men regular ly employed as street sweepers nnd ten for tho two flushing gangs. Mr. Thomas has also arranged to have the wagons used for collecting the dirt mnke several trips a day, ho that tho little heaps are gathered up before they havo been scattered or tracked across tho street again.
