of Consumption Hns Been Formed

Anions Hie Humorous beneficent clinr
illec of Scranton there Is one class
which should especially uppcnl to tin;
sympathy of nil, which Is at present
absolutely unprovided for.
Those are the suft'eiers front con
sumption. In all this prosperous valley, front
Carbondnlc to Wilkes-1 In ire, there Is
not a hospital which will take these
patients and, Indeed, these hospitals
are not adapted either as to file or ac
commodations for the treatment nnd
cure of consumption, The result Is that
consumptives, Instead of being pro
vided for early in the disease, when
they can be cured, nre now allowpd to
fi-o on until they become n helpless
burden oit their relatives.
This matter has been the subject of
much thought, anions; practical phllnn
1 thropists and physicians in this city,
and to fill this need there lias been
formed the Society for the Prevention
aiuT Pure of Consumption, with the fol
lowing board or managers: Hon. Jl.
-A Knapp, chairman: lit. ISov. JI. J.
Jlobnn, itev. .Uorois Israel, T). 1)., Jtcvse
.Jiraoks, Dr. A. .7; Cornell and Dr. .1. At.
.-"U'nlnwrighl, secretary.
- The immediate work which the sml
oly has set for itself is the establish
ment of n, sanitarium in the vicinity of
the city. Robert Snyder has voluu
.fercfl ills services as architect and has
.Mready drawn up plans for the various
"luiiidlngs. The separate pavilion sys-'ton-.
wilt be used, and will Include
building for curable men and women
p.itlents nnd an Inlirinary for advanced
cases. The accompanying sketch shows
the infirmary, which It h; hoped will be
ready for occupation next spring.
'i-'o accomplish this work tho society
now appeals to nil cbarllnble cltis-ens
for aid.
Number of Consumptives.
There are at the lowest estimate two
hundred consumptives in this city who
need this institution. Now ihcj-e people
have nowhere to turn. All our instltu
tlons arc closed against them, except
the poor house. The new sanitarium
will combat consumption in three
ways:
Fi-sl Patients received early will be
cured In at least TO per cent, ot canes
and returned to the Industrial world.
Second Advanced cases will be cared
for In the most humane )vuy, tinder tho
best sanitary nrccntttlons, nnd at n
place so near at hand that they eun be
frequently visited by their relatives'.
Third Kvery patient nl. the sani
tarium, Instead of being a danger to
the community, will be kept tinder
sanitary conditions which will ninko
him absolutely harmless.
In this way the spread of the disease
from case to cuse Is at once slopped,
For feruii case treated In llie sunlluilum
probably from two to four other casts
will bo prevented, It Is perhaps this
phase of the work which will anneal
most of all to those having; the welfare
or our people ut heart. Wo have many
Institutions for the cute of disease,
but none for Its prevention.
Ureiit as the advantage of this Insti
tution would be front a humanitarian
standpoint, Its Usefulness from a. finan
cial aspect Is no less Important. "The
health of n city Is always one ofits
best assets." Scranton Is now a healthy
city and It can be made much more so.
tho projected pavilions where the same
disease is to be grappled with nnd con
quered. The cost of such a, memorial
Is $3,000. A bed can bo endowed In per
petuity for $1,000.
There lifts but a few people In this
city who can not think of some friend
or aciiuulntuiice who his recently died
or Is si I'll surfcrlng from consumption,
and It Is for Just these friends that tild
Is now asked, Now, unless the sufferer
Is very well-to-do, there la but one out
come. I'uder our present provisions the
poor consumptive, has no path but onu
tending straight down, and In his
course he Infects othets as he noes. U
Is for these people that the society begs
for means to otter a chance for it per
manent cure.
' liesldes maintaining the sanitarium,
tho society Intends to open dispensar
ies for diseases of the lungs, In ap
propriate parts of tho city, to provide
visiting nurses for poor consumptives
who do not euro to go to the snnl
tarluiii, anil to foster nil means look
ing to the spread of the disease.
tt Is welt known that the struggle
against consumption Is becoming an

THE PROPOSED SANITARIUM.
The sanitarium will prevent the need
less Infection of at least twenty to
thirty people a year and enable them
to continue In their places as producers.
A human being is considered to be
worm $1,000 to the state. 'Jills Item
gives a saving of at least .fO.OOO to
$30,000, a sum which would several
limes cover the cost of the sanitarium
each year. To this sum can be added
the value of the individuals cured and
returned to work. Furthermore, the
advanced cases, instead of becoming ait
added burden to their relatives, will bo
cared for in the most economic, eltiei
cnt, and humane way.

There arc many families in this eity

active one In all countries. 2Iany sep
arate cities have begun the work and
are rapidly reducing the mortality from
the disease. "With Hip work already
begun by the Lackawanna County
aiedic.il society and that projected by
the bureau of health, the added scope
of the Society for the Prevention and
Cure or Consumption will make Scran
ton, in this resp"et, the banner city of
the Vnltcd States, and probably of
fcbirope, In the o.'Iielenoy of Its methods
both for preventing the spread of the
disease and for caring for the actual
sufferers. We need bear the burden of
consumption and yield up our needless
sacrifice of one hundred neople a year
only as long as wo choose to.
Need of a Sanitarium.
A very cogent proof of the practical
need for a sanitarium lies in the fact
that the Lackawanna County Medical
society has recently started the sub
scription list with a pledge of $500. For
the establishment of the complete plan,
$25,000 will be needed.
This work is one ot simple humanity,
not of charity. It is fully time that
consumption should not be allowed to
continue Its ravages among us unchal
lenged. And it Is fully time that those
afflicted should not be left to their own
recourses, but should be provided for
wlille they are still curable.
Anyone can become a member of the
society by the payment of $10 or more
yearly, and a patron of the society by
tho payment of $100 or more yearly. As
above stated, a bpd may be endowed in
perpetuity for $1,000, and a memorial
pavilion built for $3,000. Besides ilic-so
stated amounts, any contribution, largo
or small, is earnestly requested. Money
so received will go directly to relieve
human suffering in an especially
pitiable class among our own neigh
bors. Koch $300 will sav- a human life
a year, and every dollar contributed
will go to fight one of the city's worst
enemies and will be spent in the most
efficient way to prevent the appearance
or consumption in the homes of each
aim every one of us.
Subscriptions to memberahli). contri

tary at 6-'7 Linden street.

XAST NIGHT OF THE FAIR.
TJuiversaJists Bring Bazaar to Close
with Comedy Drama.
Yesterday was the third and conclud
ing day ot the fair given under the
auspices of tho Ladles' Aid society of
All Souls' Jnlversallst church in Guern
sey Hall. The fair has been a great
success and several hundred dollars
hns been realized toward the fund for
a new church.
As the principal attraction of the fair
last evening was set aside for the pre
sentation of a two- act comedy drama
entitled "Mr. Hob," which was rendered
by local amateur talent in a enpablo
and really praiseworthy manner. The
comedy was full of complex situations
and laughable tangler.
Mrs. Klla Loomls, as Katharine Kog
ers, enacted tho role of u mischief-loving
young woman, who by her descrip
tion of her college chum, misleads her
cousin into believing her to be of the
masculine persuasion, and hence the
root of tho misunderstanding. Her
presentation of the light hearted and
care-free "Kitty" was spirited and nat
ural. Miss Emma. Eldridge, as Marlon
Bryant, tho chum, nicknamed "Bob,"
was an unaffected and charming young
graduato who enjoyed a joke ns well,
but in a quieter way than "Kitty."
Miss Maudo DePut. us Rebecca Luke,
u maiden lady with a monomania for
homeless cats, gave a very clever Im
personation, while Mrs, John VanMlller
us "Patty," ,u "stolge-struck" parlor
maid, captured tho majority of the
hearty laughs. Harry Murphy, as
Philip Hoyson; AV. II. Estubrook, as
Kobert Drown, and William Townsend,
as Jenkins, all had plenty ot action
nnd acquitted themsefVes creditably.
Mr, Townsend's Impersonation of a
cockney butler was vry clever,
The play was staged handsomely una
was under the management of Mrs.
Thomas U. Payne, wife of the pastor
of the Unlversallst church. Mrs. John
F, Hallstead played several selections
on tho piano before and during the
comedy,

THE WRESTLING MATCH.
V. H. McMillan, who Is to wrestle
Prof. M. J. Dwyer, at the Bicycle club
house next Tuesday night, has a wide
reputation In tho west and has stayed
with some of the big men In the busi
ness, including Tom Jenkins and Dan
B. McLeod.
Should ha win next Tuesday night's
mutch un effort muy be made to make
a match with either Jenkins or McLeod,
to be pulled off In the armory,
a constant source of trouble. The only
fair way of paying was by the ton, he
maintained. lie also told of n re
arrangement since tho last strike, by
which tne allowances ror rock were re
duced. No complaint hud been made
to the company. The men decided to
wait until tho commission made Its re
port, before taking any action.
The working of the "court house"
was also discussed at length by this
witness. The foreman nnd a commit
tee of miners sort over the coal In n
car, clean oUt nil the Impurities Hint
escaped the miners' attention, and thus
determine what is tho exact percontrtae
of Impurities. The witness declared
Hint there was neither "Judge, jury or
justice" In the colliery court house. The
chief complaint wus that the coal re
maining after the Impurities were re
moved was not also weighed. Attorney
McCllntock explained that It wus un
important to ascertain the weight of
coal, ns tho men are paid by the car.
The "court house" test, he said, Is to
determine the proportion of impurities
per car. This regulates the doomage.
Explained the Incident.
Mr. McCllntock presented a statement
thut the total dockage at the tlollen
back last year wus only 10-100 ot one
per cent. lie ulso showed that the wit
ness earned $34S.S4 In 218 shifts. If he
had worked the 25 days that the mine
worked, he would have miU $840.05.
lie lost considerable time because of
his duties ns chairman of the gilev-
ance committee of the local.
Mr. McCllntock sought to show that
the witness had asked the foreman In
November, 1901, to discharge ten men
because they refussd to pay their dues
In the union and that during the last
strike he and another man called at
tho house of Flreboss John Joseph, In
the middle of the night, to threaten
and intimidate him.
Tile witness denied the first allegation
in toto. As to the second, he explained
that it was only 10 SO at night when
the call was made at Joseph's bouse.
"We only asked his brother-in-law,"
said tho witness, "if he would please be
so kind as to step out on the porch and
talk to us just for a,-fev minutes. W'e
sat on the steps, and in about eight ur
ten minutes John Joseph came out with
a shot gun, and pointing it ut me, said:
'Billy H,, you get out from here or
I'll blow your head off to hell.' Then
we went away."
Mr. McCllntock asked the witness
what they wanted to ee Joseph about
at that time of the nitflit.
"We Just wanted to talk, to him,"
said the witness.
"Talk to him about what'."' said Mr.
McCllntock.
"Oh, about the strike and one thing
or another," the witness rep'.led.
James Driesbaeh, who was a watch
man at No. Fi colliery, complained of not
being taken back after the strike. Mr.
McCllntock got him to admit that an
other man was put In his place during
the strike, and, further, that the us-'
sistant told him he would probably get
his jot) back before long as the man
who was in Ills place wee a "pigeon
toed fellow" and likely wouldn't be able
to stand the cold. The witness ac
knowledged that the company couldn't
treat him any fairer than it did.
William Nesbltl, who was the fan
engineer at the same mine, quit when
the steam men were called out, and
was not re-employed. Ho admitted,
however, that the superintendent told
him he was to get the fan engin-2 at tho
new air shaft.
Ho worked 1S3 9-10 days and made
$563.80, according to the compilation of
the company. Tho witness averred that
a part ot that represented a payment
ho inailo his laborer, tho company
having failed to dodtiet, through some
error.
Gathers Up the Coal.
William Powers, a runner, testified
that he was engaged by the onmpany
lo gather up tho coal that fell from
the cars. He said it illicit from one to
four cars a. week. The colnpany's nt-
tornoy let It go it that. It was brought
nut Hint the witness was discharged
1 'i Wednesday tor Insubordination.
The witness' statement ot the trouble
tnnt the llreboss started to hit him
with a sprug, and he put his hand on
the boss' ni'ck and kicked the sprag
out of his burnt.
Ilobert Hughes, a miner from the
Morgan U. Williams & Co. lied Ash
colliery, near Wllkes-Barre, was called,
but ns that company Is not a party to
tho hearing, Judge Gray advised that
he be not examined.
Justice of tho Peace George Smith, of
Blnkely, testified that the cars at the
Ontario colliery of the Elk Hill Coal
and Iron company vary In capacity
from 02 to 119 cubic feet, including the
six Inches topping. One car Is S feet V
Inches by 4 feet 3 Inches by i! feet 1
Inch. Another Is S feet 10 inches by 4
feet 3 Inches by 2 feet 2 Inches.
The witness did not secure re-employment
after the strike. Ills place
wus taken up by the Installation of an
engine during the strike. The boss told
him he would give him a place as soon
ns he could. Tho last time he suw the
boss, the latter said: "I guess you will
have to work for John Mitchell a while
longer."
Attorney J. E. Burr cross-examined
him and sought unsuccessfully to have
the witness agree that not 10 per cent,
of the cars have six Inches "topping"
when they reach the breaker; that out
of 700 cars sent out by the miners In ,a
day, the rock and slate will amount to
ISO cars, or L'5 per cent., and that the
culm that will come out of It amounts
to 12',i per cent. The witness did not
know whether or not these figures were
correct. The witness testified that he
knew the docking amounted to 7 or S
per cent.
Isaac tiieeney, a 63-yenr-old Ontario
miner, did not get a job after the
strike. The boss said he would give
him a place when he could.
Longmower's Complaint.
Henry Longmower, president ot the
No, 5 local, who was an engines,' at an
Inside slope, had a similar complaint to
make as the two preceding witnesses.
The company, however, has not prom
ised to take him back. He is charged
with having directed a barber in South
Wllkes-Barre not to shave tiie men
working at the No. Q during the strike.
James Kearney and Edward Kett
rlck, two more steam men from tljo No.
3, testified similarly to the others who
had struck and were refused re-em
ployment. Other men were put In their
places, it was shown, and these other
men still retained their jobs. Both wit
nesses admitted that the company had
always treated them fairly.
Attorney Lenahan next called to the
stand an S-year-old breaker boy from
Hmlthvllle, Stanley Gustick by name.
He began working three ivceks ago at
the Butler Coal company's colliery in
PIttston township, which is two miles
from his home. Major Warren protest
ed thnt the Butler company Is not a
party to the hearing and Us employes
should not be beard. When it devel
oped Hint the boy did not understand
the nature of an oath, Judgo Gray ad
vised that he be withdrawn, which was
done. "Tho commissioners seo how
small he Is," said Judge Gray, "and will
agree Hint be Is too small to be woik
Ing In the breaker, Ills father should
not have him In the breaker," the judgo
added.
The examination of Lehigh Valley
Coal company employes wus then taken
up, Mr, Lenahnn conducted the direct
examination, and Major Warren the
cross-examination,
M. Clark, a pillar miner at the
Heldleberg colliery, near Avoca, testi
fied that the cars there are 10x4x2',$,
and that tho docking averages 5 to "
per cent.
Way It Was Done.
Thomas Dureemer, an ex-clerk for
the Silverbrook Coal company, cx
plulaed, how the company "manipu
lated" as Mr. McCarthy put it Hie
10 per cent advance, giving illustra
tions similar lo those previously pre
sented. John Williams, whose brother-in-law
was one of the fifty-eight victims of the
Twin abaft disaster, told of that catas
trophe. He had not even the slightest
recollection of the company making any
effort to rescue the men or recover the
bodies.
Mr. Darroiv explained to the court
that the witness was not put on with
the view of having the company criti
cized for not making any effort at res
cue. "Of course," said Mr. Darrow,
"we are not concerned as to how a
near relative of a victim viewed the
etiort or tne company to accomplish a
rescue. The purpose of calling the wit
ness ivas simply to show the dangers
attendant upon mining."
Alexander Samuels and Frank Old
field, two Wllkes-Barre hod carriers,
who were formerly miners testified that
bod carriers receive twenty-five cents
an hour; stonemasons, thirty-seven and
one-half cents an hour, and bricklayers
fifty cents an hour, with time and a
half for overtime and double time for
Sundays and holidays, and that they all
work eight hours. Each thought a
miner ought to receive at least $3 a day.
August Baker, of Hazelbrook, a con
tract miner for J. S. Wentz & Co., told
ti sorry story of the condition of the
company houses, there, nnd that if the
men want to avoid bad places in the
mines they have to deal in the high
priced company store. His wages, be
said, were from ?40 to $50 a month.
Owns a Double House.
On cross-examination Mr. Dickson
brought out the fact that the witness
Is not compelled, to live in a company
house, as be is drawing $15 a month
rent from a double dwelling house of
Ills own, and that the only high-priced
thing he could specify was shoe black
ing which he bought for five cents in
Hazelton and had to pay ten cents for
in the company store.
Mr. Dickson then produced a state
ment of his earnings 1n 1901, which he
said he would verify by receipts. It
showed that Baker and his two boys,
one It) and the other 17, In 1901, drew
S1.5G3.77 in wages, and that the father
hud not worked us many days as he
might, particularly the days, Immed
iately following pay day.
Commissioner Watklns was absent,
yesterday afternoon nnd will not be
present today. He went to New York
to attend the dinner of the Pennsyl
vania society and transact some urgent
.private business.
