KOR CONSUMPTIVE CONVICTS.
A little' over a year ago the state
penitentiary authorities established a
farm for consumptive convicts. Up to
that time the consumptives had been
confined in the penitentiaries of Rusk
and Huntsville and it was found that
they were the cause of the disease
spreading to other convicts. In Dec-ember.
1S99. the convicts who were
suffering from consumption were con-
gregated on a plantation owned by the
state situated about two miles from
the Huntsville penitentiary. Large
airy and comfortable quarters were
given these Invalids and they required
to do such light work about the farm
as they were able. The result of the
experiment has been highly satisfac-
tory to the prison management in ev-
ery respect. Many men who went to
the farm apparently in the last stages
o consumption and who were scarcely
able to feed themselves are now hear-
ty and stout evincing not the slightest
objective evidence of consumption and
the death rate from the disease is stead-
ily diminishing. The plantation is
made self-supporting by this invalid
labor.
WERE SAWING TO LIBERTY.
The prisoners in the county jail at
Fairfield came near making their way
to liberty the latter part of last week.
Some unknown person or persons bad
succeeded in slipping to them a pocket
knife and a pair of scissors which they
converted into files. When discov-
ered they had filed most of ' the bars
of a window in two. The prisoners
had all been sentenced but most of
them had secured pew trials and were
let out into the runaround. The knife
and scissors were found in the posses-
sion of a negro prisoner who was given
a twenty-five year sentence at the last
term of court. The knife was in his
pocket and the scissors were found
swinging from his neck by a string
underneath his clothing.
REMOVED THE OBSTACLE.
A couple that wanted to get married
in Centerville but couldn't because the
groom was too young to secure the li
cense were not to be kept apart by
such a trifle as that. ' They secured the
services of a lawyer who drew up a
common law contract for them and
they both signed and acknowledged it
and filed it with the clerk for record.
Then they went home happy. Although
not yet 21 years old the groom was a
widower and his bride was a widow.
STATION DISCONTINUED.
The United States experimental sta-
tion at Abilene has been discontinued
on the recommendation of Col. H. Li
Bentley. formerly in charge. While the
fetation was in operation only three
years it was demonstrated that sev-
eral varieties of grass foreign to that
portion of the state can be successfully
grown on the open range.
FATAL SPIDER BITE.
Miss Dolly Walker a young lady of
near Navasota. died Saturday from the
effects of a spider bite. She was bit-
ten a few days before while out with
a party of berry pickers. Not thinking
that it was a dangerous bite but little
attention was paid to it until the pois-
on was spread so that her life could
not be saved.

A COSTLY VIOLATION.
The rigor with which the live stock
law is enforced is illustrated in the
circumstance that its violation within
the last week has cost a Phoenix man
several hundred dollars and may cost
him altogether as much as $1000. For
reasons which cannot well be explain
ed a mention of names would inflict
further and unnecessary damage. The
place where he kept ome cattle was
put In quarantine by Dr. Norton ter
ritorial veterinarian who visited it in
person or by proxy almost every day
to see that the quarantine was being
observed. One night about a week ago
twenty-one cattle were removed. The
veterinarian who had been trying by
warnings to prevent a violation of the
law. discovered the next day that the
cattle had been removed and he set
the law to work. The cattle had been
sent overland toward the Colorado riv
er and half the force of the sheriff's
office a day later was in pursuit. The
cattle were overtaken about sixty
miles wesf of Congress. The costs
amounting to $400 have been paid and
the end of the episode has not yet
been reached.
THE LEGISLATURE'S NAME.
Colonel George W. Brown has named
the Twenty-first legislature the "ko-
dak" legislature because he says it
passed so many Code acta. It is such
plays upon words such bon roots as
this that get men into trouble some
times and are followed by summary
action on the part of communities.
Speaking of the acts of the legisla-
ture the Verde county bill 'was not a
total failure after all. It proved to be
worth more than the oaper it was
written on. Chairman Crouch of the
house committee on territorial affairs
in whose embrace it perished sold it
for $10. The purchasers were Prescot-
tians who intend to have it. framed
and hung in the court house.

Where Care
Is Needed
SOME FACTS ABOUT THE UNDER-
TAKING BUSINESS THAT ARE
NOT GENERALLY KNOWN.
V
In This City the Undertakers are
Forced to Take Precautionary Meas-
ures Against Infection that Should
Be Provided for by Law.
"What steps does El Paso take to
prevent the spread of contagious and
infectious diseases?"
This question was asked by a physi-
cian of the United States marine ser-
vice In El Paso a few days ago. A
prominent local physician answered
the question in several particulars to
the entire satisfaction of the visitor
but admitted to the interrogator thatl n
some the law was defective.
There are many deaths in El Paso
like many other health resorts from
contagious and infectious diseases and
could a record be kept it would prob-
ably show that hundreds of deaths
have occurred here and hundreds more
lives endangered for want of a proper
law and the strict enforcement of it.
Heretofore the doctors have had no le-
gal support and the question of sani-
tary science r.ud the enforcement of the
unwritten law has been entirely in the
hands of the local embalmers and un-
dertakers. In many cases embalmers in El Paso
have protected the living and saved
many people from contracting infec-
tious diseases but on the other hand
embalmers have through negligence
or lack of knowledge allowed many
perfectly well people to contract dis-
eases. Embalming is not merely a mechani-
cal art but a profession and upon the
embalmer depends the safety of the
well in places where people have died
from such di Bases as diphtheria meas-
les typhoid fever and tuberculosis. -
A Herald reporter strolled -into th
undertaking parlors of Chas. R. Hen-
derson on El Paso street this morning
and from him learned many things
about embalming that the public
should know. Mr. Henderson has been
in the business for five years and has
passed the examination before the Illi-
nois Colorado and Utah boards and is
considered one of the most efficient
men in his profession.
He says that in cities like El Paso
where the city health board has no law
to protect and support them in the
matter of disinfecting houses this duty
devolves upon the undertaker. When
he has a case of consumption or a dis
ease that is pronounced infectious or
contagious he always treats the body
in a way to prevent any live germs
existing and after the body is removed
from the room is careful to disinfect
every part of the room before allowii.g
any one else to use it. He treats the
clothing and furniture in the same
way and no possible danger can come
from using the room after the patient
is removed.
"This." said Mr. Henderson "saves
many lives in our profession. An un-
dertaker should know how and be care
ful not to leave a thing in a room that
has not been disinfected."
This is a matter that has been sadly
neglected in El Paso and manv people
have suffered death as a result.- There
is no denying that an undertaker
should know as much about the post
mortem condition of a body as the doc
tor who attended the case as his ex-
perience is all in that line. An under-
taker should not only know how to
perform the mechanical work of em-
balming the body but should know how
to protect himself as well as the pub
lic from the possibilities of contagion.
Like a physician attending a case of
smallpox an undertaker should be care
ful to disinfect so as to prevent danger
of spreading the disease among others
and should carefully prepare the body
so as not to permit the communication
of germs. This is one of the rules of
the Santa Fe and other railroads
where the law provides that no corpse
shall lie carried on a train that has
not been disinfected to prevent the
spread o'f the disease.
An embalmer's establishment can be
come a dangerous place when all kinds
of diseased germs are allowed to exist
there and this is always the case
where the undertaker takes communi-
cable diseases into his establishment
and does not disinfect the premises.
Many careless undertakers have caught
diseases themselves in this way and
given it to others.
Texas has no state law to license em-
balmers but almost all others have and
provide a board of examiners to pass
on the qualifications of undertakers;
when an undertaker violates the law
his license is revoked and he is fined
oi imprisoned.
Mr. Henderson employes only gradu
ate embalmers. whose certificates cer-j
tify that they re capable of caring for j
themselves and others.- They must be
well versed in anatomy sanitary
science and embalming to come ud to
the requirements of the laws of other
states and he carefully enforces those
rules In El Paso. J. J. Kaster. his
present embalmer. is a graduate of the
Chicago college of embalming which
is tht most strict in the countrv. and
is licensed bv the state of Illinois
which license is recognized by every
state in the country.
Mr. Henderson has been In the em-
bal miner business for five years having
traveled for a wholesale casket factory
some tirie before he engaged actively
in the business. While traveling he
practiced the profession in teaching his
customers the business and has had as
many hard cases to treat its any man in
the country. Before coming to El Paso
he conducted a place in Ias Vegas.
New Mexico but sold his business
there worth to 'yrta his entire
time to his business here. He lwiiifrht
his present place from J. C. Ross who

Faso street are c-onsidered the finest
