The li brary Is almost at the point of col lapse. In Emperor William's hall, so called from the visit, paid by the em peror to tho monastery in 1904, there Is a large fissure about 200 feet long. The right wing of the build ing is almost detached from the main structure. This wing stands at tho edge of an abyss into which it would bo precipitated, owing to Its weakened position, should there bo' a recurrence of tho earth shocks. Alarm is felt for tho safety of his toric art treasures In tho monstery. In tho library. Is a priceless codex. 'Tho threatened right wing contains many objects associated with early Christian era, and with the middle ages. , . , , The government has sent, engineers to Monto Cassino to undertake .tho restoration, of the monastery. The modern building materials will be used for tho first tlrao.for strengthen ing the nnclent structure. Tho monastery is used as an eccles iastical training college, which now has 300 students. News of the dam ago to tho monastery has been sup pressed hlthorto to avoid spreading alarm among tho relatives of these students.

An empty whiskey bottle was found in the bed room where .the fire started. Tho house was vacant and the au thorities, bellovo that somo ono had spent the night there and perhaps by dropping a cigarette caused tho fire. Save for a bed and mattress nothing was damaged.

Then the vice prchMcnt would be relied up on to cast tho deciding vote. As soon as republican lenders learned of the return of Senators Ncwlnndjj and Smith t conference was cntlcd to consider plans of 'ac tion. ) The republicans determined to op pose any effort to bring up Senator Gore's resolution to tlNclmrjje the commerce committee from consider ing liU subptilnle bill, which ci'nbodics amendments satisfactory to prgrvs sive republicans and may receive sup port from the msvcii democratic in surgents.

Today was one of the few in recent history of the senate when n full at tendance, 9ti senators, was present. When tho session began Senator Hansdell spoke In favor of the bill. Mystery the The entire superetruco of fraud In medicine has for its foundations se crecy and mystery. Take away these elements, and that gigantic monu ment to human credulity tho "pat ent medicines" business crumbles. Hence the frnntlc efforts of those who have built fortunes through the ex ploitation of nostrums In 'opposing evory movement that would permit tho public to know tho drugs It is taking in "patent medicines." A forcotten chanter In quackery is re lated by The Journal of tho American Medical Association. About a hun dred and fifty years ago Jlrs. Steph ens In England claimed to have dis covered a cure for "gravel and stone In the bla'ddcr and kldnors.V' So skll fullydld she callhor wares that sho deluded. ignorant and educated aliko Into a belief ln her dlscoverey. Dr, Dvld Hartley, "physician and philo sopher, collected and published re ports of ono hundred and fflty cases, his own among them showing the value of Mrs. Stephens' "cure." Con vinced that Mrs. Stephens had dis covered a boon to suffering human ity, many ured her to make public The Little (Ben Lnmpmnn in Gold Hill k'ews.)

In tho eourse of a year, 72 males and CO females would b admitted to tho asylums. In 1880 tho total number of Inmates la Insane asylums In tho United Stales Included 20,635 males and 20,307 females. Thirty .years later the number of male Inmates had Increased to 98,095, and tho number of female inmates to 80,096.

There was not much for sale hero un lit the market had rlmon quite ahnrp ly. It looked os If much of tho buy ing was on foreign account. After opening i off to U up, quotations scored a material all around advanco. Corn reflected tlio notion of wheat. Commission houses did most of the buying, pit speculators tho bulk of tho selling. Tho opening, which Varied from a shade decline to half gain, was followed by a moderate general advance. Trade In oats was smatl. Never theless, prices hardened hi sympathy with other grains. Provisions held comparatively steady. Weakness In the hog marvel counter balanced the effect of tho strength of cereals. London Market Quiet. LONDON, Feb. 8.TI10 Mock mar ket was quiet.

Quack like she refused, but also quack like she offered to ghe up tho for mula for 5000 pounds (2f..00O). Attempts were made to ralno this amount by public subscription, but without success. In splto of the fart that many contributed to this fund, only about 1300 pounds was raised. Parliament was then peti tioned to niaho a grunt, which, In due time. It did. Mrs. Stephens got her five thousand pounds and the public got her "formula." The lat ter was published In tho London Ga- cite.

Iltlt alas! Now that tho public knew what was In Mrs. Stephens' nostrum, It would have none of It. Tho cure fell Into disre pute, and .finally went tho way of all Buc'h frauds. Into oblivion. Dr. Hartley died of tho dlseaso of which be believed Mrs. Stephens had cured him.
