It was at Pachuca, Mezico. that the patio system of separating silver bad Its origin This system Is still fol lowed extensively at the silver mines throughout Mexico. The ore Is crushed and worked down to a state of pud dle. It Is then spread out to a depth of two or three feet over the paved floor of th« courtyard, or patio. To this maaa sulphate of copper Is added In powder, about fifteen pounds of sul phate to three thousand pounds of puddle. This Is trodden Into the pud die by horses. Several gangs of old, worn-out horses or mules, about twelve In a gang, are seen In various parts of the patio, being driven round in circles to tread in the sulphate. On the next day six per cent, of common salt is added and in two more daya one hundred per cent, of pure quicksilver, or as much as the assay of the ore shows is required. This mass la then trodden up by horses for fifteen days. It is then wheeled to a large tank through which passes a rapid stream of water. This washes away the clay, leaving the silver and quicksilver. This residuum Is poured Into cone-shaped canves bags through which most of the quicksilver runs out, and what remains with the silver is passed off with the vapor by means of heated retorts. None of the quick silver Is lost, and even the vapor Is brought by cold water to Its original state and used sgaln and again. The quicksilver soon rots the hoofs of the horses and the mules, but the Mex icans themselves do not seem to be much the worse for it even though they wade around In the puddle for days at a time.—Harper's Weekly. Can't Beat the Smokers. Local tailors are receiving orders from their customers that at least one asbestos pocket be placed In ev ery suit and every overcoat they make, as a result of the new "no smoking" rule of the Philadelphia Rap id Transit Company. A widely known Walnut street tail or placed a large order for asbestos today, and when asked if he had been employed to make an asbestos suit he explained: “Why, some of my customers are bringing back their overcoats to have the asbestos pocket fixed. They want the pocket as a saving in cigar bills. “There is no danger to the clothes, as there Is a little flap on the asbes tos pocket that makes it partially air tight. and the cigar, without air, goes out almost as soon as it Is placed in the pocket. It smokes very little, and there is no danger that the conductor will attempt to put off the passenger with the asbestos pocket." The tailor said he got the idea of the asbestos pocket from a wealthy business man who pays 50 cents apiece for his cigars, and objects to throwing away 45 cents' worth be cause the traction company says he must.— Philadelphia Correspondence New York Tribune.

Reports That Officials Expressed Rooms Overcrowded, Sanitation Opinions As to Friedmann’s Poor and Families Obliged Success Denied. to Live Without Privacy. Washington.—The Public Health Service, through Surgeon-General Blue, Issued its first statement here relative to the Government investiga tion of Dr. F. F. Fri dmann'z alleged tuberculosis cure. The statement, which emphasizes the Government's policy to proceed cautiously, is as fol lows: "On March 8 the Secretary of the Treasury, on the recommendation of the Surgeon-General of the Public Health Service, caused a board of medical officers to be detailed to make a thorough Investigation of Dr. Fried mann’s alleged cure for tuberculosis. "These officers proceeded Immedi ately to New York and arranged with Dr. Friedmann for demonstrations of bis remedy upon persons suffering from tuberculosis. These demonstra tions are being carried on in New York hospitals and will be continued until sufficient Information has been obtained for the forming of an opinion as to the merits of the treatment “Dr. Friedmann has submitted to the board a culture of the bacteria, which he states is used in his method of treatment. In addition to the ob servation ot persons under treatment by Dr. Friedmann, the board of offi cers will make experiments to ascer tain whether this culture is, as Dr. Friedmann claims, harmless to warm blooded animals. "Considerable time will necessarily be required to carry out the investi gation, but the work will be carried out as rapidly as possible. "In the meantime 'he public is in formed of the Inadvisability in the great majority of caaes of traveling long distances in the hope of receiv ing treatment, as those selected for demonstration constitute only a small proportion of applicants. "Certain statements purporting to be expressions of the opinion of the board of officers of the Public Health Service bearing on the investigation have appeared in newspapers. These officers have expressed no opinion and will not be in i>ositlon to do so until the work has advanced sufficiently to warrant some knowledge in regard to Dr. Friedmann's treatment." Albany, N. Y.—The report of the state labor department on Its Investi gation of conditions among the Little Falls textile workers—brought to pub lic attention by the recent strike— was made public. "Certainly It is a matter of grave public concern," the report says, “when a considerable body of wage earners are found living in such con ditions as are revealed by this report. There is reason to suppose that more or less similar conditions are to be found elsewhere." The Investigators report that, prior to the strike, half of the men workers received a weekly wage of 89 or less, while half of the women received less than 87.50. "The settlement of the strike," the report adds, "made but little, if any, change in conditions as to wages." Monthly rents for the space occupied by a single family or group run from 86 to 818. Of living conditions, the report says: "The bouses are frame structures, built singly or in groups. Bathrooms are entirely absent, leaky roofs make dry rooms impossible. Ventilation al ways Is bad. Cellars were found filled with water, ashes, waste, garbage and manure. "Sleeping rooms are small, general ly when the number of occupants Which they accommodate is consid ered. Some are windowless. Over crowding is the rule. Owing to ignor ance of the need of fresh air In a sleeping room, windows are kept con stantly closed, even the cracks being filled or covered. The air of the sleeping rooms is charged with odors from the witchen, the washtubs, the garbage heap and the~cellars, and in this condition is breathed again and again by the sleepers. “In each household one room serves as a kitchen, while all others are sleeping rooms. The kitchen is also a dining room, living room, wash room and laundry, and in some cases a sleeping room. The head of the household is not simply the head of the family, nor even in the usual meaning of the term, a boarding housekeeper.

Nev.—After pursuing a rocky pathway through the legislature, a bill having a maximum cf eight hours a day labor for women was vetoed by Governor Oddie. The veto was sus tained in the senate. Although ex pressing himself as in sympathy with the object of the act. Governor Oddie said in his veto message that an eight- hour day for women in this state was not practicable and would prove more injurious than beneficial to women wage-earners. The overwortring of women, he said, was a condition not existing in Nevada as in other utates. Miss Pankhurst Is Free. Ixindon—Sylvia Pankhurst, the mil itant suffragette, won her liberty from Holloway Prison by a "hunger strike.” Further confinement would have en dangered her life. Miss PWhkhurst. daughter of Mrs. Emsnallne Pank hurst, leader of the militants, was sen tenced February 18 to two months' imprisonment for engaging in a win dow-smashing campaign. She went on a hunger strike and the authorities pried open her mouth with a steel gag and fed her through a tube. Old Indian War Recalled. Washington.—Echoes of the Sioux uprising led by Chitting In 1890 were heard here in the Supreme Court of the United States, when two cattle companies which lost thousands of cattle during the Indian raids aban doned appeals from suits brought in the Court of Claims to recover from the Government. The Court of Claims held that the Indians were not In enmity with the Federal Government at the time the cattle were taken, and therefore, un der the statute, the companies were not entitled to recover. Commission Is Not Dazed. WASHINGTON. — Chairman Clark, of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion, in a statement outlining the commissions preliminary plans for physical valuation of railroads author ized by the last congress, declared no estimate could be made of the time re quired to complete the work. “The commission Is not staggered or dazed by the duties that have been placed ui on It.” said Chairman Clark. "The work will be proceeded with in a business-like and thorough way.” Apaches to Be Set Free. Albuquerque. N.
