MAY MAGAZINES.
An Island Paradise.
uarparss AYaoavina

Batavia, the beautiful. known through
out the East as the "grdiron." on account
of the heat of its climate, and considered
to be one of the most unhealthy towns in
the world, is wonderfully attractive. The
streets are wide and we'll kept, and are
shaded by the most luxuriant tropical
growth. The stores and private residences
stand back from the road in the midst of
ample grounds or compounds. beautifully
adorned with flowers and foliage. This,
of course, is the Dutch quarter. The ma
tive town Is more sordid, but in this
favored land everything is picturesque.
The canals that form the center of the
principal streets In true Dutch fashion, in
which the natives perform their morning
additions as we'll as cleanse the family
linen, have very sluggish current; and
this, in connection with the fact that he
city is surrounded by marshes, Is q stuff
Gent explanation Of Its unhealthfulness.
The general experience of the world holds
true here. There is no Eden without its
serpent.
The Hotel Nederlanden. large, RAM
bling, one-storied structure. with a
spacious central court, is the last place in
which one would expect to meet the de-
d'hote the ladies were dressed In a style
that would have done credit to any
European capital. These same ladies
had appeared earlier In the day
in a decidedly unconventional attire,
and this rendered our surprise all
the greater. They have learned to
adapt themselves to the climate by keep
ing their heavier garments for the cool of
evening. Even when making ceremonious
calls in their carriage may adhere to the ma
tive costume-a white jacket and calico
sarong or skirt. The toes of their bare feet
are brust into gayly embroidered slip ers
that flap up and down as they walk. Girls
of Is OF 16 appear on the veranda In the
morning. and, indeed, until long past noon,
in a sort of union costume such as young
children sometimes wear with us when
sleeping.
Notwithstanding these preparations for
warm weather the heat is not excessive.
During our stay the thermometer only
only once reached 8S degrees, and even
then it was easy to fnd refreshing breeze.
1t must also be remembered that this was
in the height of summer. The 22d of
Decent Der is theoretically the turning point
of their warm sea son, but as matter of
fact the temperature is nearly the same all
the year roupd Lying about 450 miles south
of the equator. Java enjoys never-ending
summer. This uniformity, to be sure, is
some W bat enervating to the system, but
for those having the requisite means and
time there is remedy within easy access
in the districts remote from the sea. 1t
would seem as if the climate of the in

FUNDS OVERDRAWN.
A Kick Against Titus Management of
the County Hospital.


The Finance Committee of the Board Of
Supervisors was very much worried yes
terday. The cause of their anxiety was
the loose management of the City and
County Hospital by Superintendent Titus
in the way Of exceeding appropriations.
An examination of the bills and the con-
dition OF the hospital funds show that
there is an overdraft of $4,000, with two
more months to run and not all of ApriPs
bills yet in. Superintendent Titus
$4,000 appropriated for the running of
hos Iital is all gone, and he is now making
excessive digs into the fund of $40, 600
which was appropriated as an extra 10

hospital. If be keeps on there will be little
of this left shortly. The committee are

Judge Caldwell, of the United

Omaha, hands down his decision
in the Union Pacific case, and it is
a sOckdolOger to the railroad mag

that labor is capital as much as
cash, and that organized labor is
organized capital, to be treated as
such and given it's rights in all
controversies with mOnied capital.
