HARD TIMES AVolDABLE.

Congressman Bartholdt has recently
said some wise things on the dangers of
overpopulation. His showing that there
is abundance of room i'll this country,
only 16 people to the square mile, or 40
acres for every inhabitant, taken i'll con-
nection wi ~ other facts-viz that there
is abundance of money (hoarded) and
abundance Of food, clothing and ma
chinery-makes the fact, hard times, all
the more unreasonable and unnecessary.
There is some deep dyed wrong some
where, for the present state of affairs is
abnormal and unnecessary.
Mr.. Bartholdt says: Eternal vigi-
lance being the price of liberty, we
should meet, step by step, prejudice
with reason, fear with fact. There is
the fear of overpopulation industriously
spread by the same pessimists who are
constantly ct work reforming the policy
of the fathers. Let us look this specter
squarely i'll the eye and watch how
quickly it will vanish. According to
the census of 1890, we had population
of 81, 1922, $50. The United States, if
populated as densely as Belgium, would
have population Of 81 times the pres
ent number, or over 1900, 900, 600 of
people! But i'll order to enable the reader
to make his own calculation | attach

PlAGLIES IN CUBA.
Yellow Fever and Smallpox Very Prevs-
lent at Many Points.

Washington, June 30.-Advices re-
ceived by Surgeon General Wyman Of
the marine hospital service from San
100 cases of smallpox in that city.
There are a number of families down
with it within 200 feet of the United
States consulate. The officer making
the report states that the whole south
coast of Cuba, from Cienfuegos to Ba-
racoa, is plague spot of smallpox"
and he advises the quarantine officers
in the United States to be on guard to
prevent the transmission of the
disease to this country. DR.. Henry
S. Caminero, sanitary inspector of the
marine hospital, in his report on the
sanitary condition of Santiago for the
week ended June co. says that the
total number of deaths was eighty-six.
Of these thirty-nine were from small
pox and five from yellow fever.
Smallpox" he says, sis now raging
epidemically, the total number of cases
as far as known reaching up to about
900. The authorities and citizens are
doing all in their power to prevent its
ravages as far as possible. Commits
sion and committees have been organ
lied to succor the poor with medicines
and food. Yellow fever is also ON
the increase this week and
affections of the intestinal canal
are also very common. Malaria,
as usual, is causing many deaths, A
large shipment of raw hides was pre-
vented on account of noncompliance
with the law which orders such ma
terial to be thoroughly disinfected. In
response to cablegram of inquiry
United States Consul Brice, stationed
at Matanzas, Cuba, has notified the
marine hospital service that there is no
cholera there. He states, however,
that yellow fever is prevalent among
the troops and one case of smallpox is
reported in the city.

INTERESTING TO AMERICANS.
dwelling of a Memorial Stone In a Lin
colnshire, England, Church.

London, June 3O.-The town of
scene yesterday of a ceremony of in
terest to Americans. This was the un-
yelling of a memorial stone in the John
Robinson church, so named after the
Rev. John Robinson, pastor of the
Pilgrim Fathers" who after severing
his connections with the Esta blished
church in 1904 connected himself with
a body of dissenters in Gainsborough.
Among those present were the Hon.
Thomas f. Bayard, the American am
bassador, and the American pilgrims
who recently arrived in England for
the purpose of visiting scenes of inter
est connected with the pilgrims. When
Mr.. Bayard arrived he was presented
with an address of welcome by the
municipal council, in reply to which he
repeated the sentiments heretofore ex>
pressed by him, and said that the en-
tente between the United States and
Great Britain was strengthened by such
occasions as the present, which assisted
in smoothing any difficulties between
them. He added that if there was
anything unpatriotic in the sentiments
he gave voice to he was willing to meet
and answer any charge that might be
made against them. At luncheon,
after the toast of 1.-The Queen" had
been drunk, Earl Brownlow, lord-lieu-
tenant of Lincolnshire, proposed the
toast "The President of the United
States" to which Ambassador Bayard
made felicitous response.

1850, and the hardShips and struggles
during the first year or two of its life
were recounted by those who were then
members. a present the organization
is in a prosperous condition, financially
and otherwise, which is due solely to the
active interest and work which each
member contributes to the club.
The present membership consists of
