THE CARE OF CATTLE.
Sunshine in Stables Is the Worst Enemy
OF Tubereulosis

The worst enemy of tuberculosis is
sunshine, and the average cow stable is
an ideal place for the spread of this dis
ease because it lacks the means of let
ting in the light. Probably nine-tenths
of the stables have been constructed
with a view to the easy handling of the
manure. This has been the chief aim,
and convenience in feeding and the
comfort of the COWS has too often been
lost sight of. 1t is well enough to get
the manure out of the stable with as
little work as possible, but it would be
more profitable if better care was taken
of it than is usually the case.
Owing to the location of some stables
it is impossible to get much sunlight in
Them, but in the greater number of
barns, where the COWS stand in a row
next to the side, it would be an easy
matter to put in few windows. One
window for every two COWS should be
the rule, and they may be swung open

COMPLICATED CASES.

| The Arrest of Herr Ahlwardt the German Jew-Baiter, Leads to Several Counter Arrests-The Anti-semitic Declared to be a Public Nuisance by the Recorder, but the Attack on Him Pronounced Un- justifiabIe.
 l HoBoKEN, N. J., April 7.-The arrest of Herr Ahlwardt, the German anti Semitic agitator, last night has led to several more charges, countercharges and interesting complications. The Jews are excited, while the authori- ties appear to be worried. Ahlwardt, who was released on bail last night, appeared in court this morning and was paroled by Recorder McDonough for a hearing this afternoon on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. Ahlwardt then had Samuel Becker, Morris Cohen and Israel Burnham arrested, and each was held for the grand jury on the charge of assault and battery. The recorder, when the prisoners were brought before him. pronounced Ahl wardt public nuisance, but said that the attack on him was unjustifiab ble. Ahlwardt was bailed in S200 as wit ness.
 
 Meaumbile Michael Aronsburg, Rus sian shoemaker, applied for a warrant for the arrest of Ahlwardt on the charge of threatening to kill him. He said that Ahlwardt, in the struggle last night, pointed pistol at him and threatened to shoot. The recorder re- fused to isspe the warrant, as did also .In No(ir Justice of the Peace George Seymour, however, issued the warrant and sent Constable White to serve it. He found Ahlwardt in lawyers office.
 When the recorder heard of the pro- ceedlngs he sent an officer to notify the constable that Ablwardt was pa roled for hearing before him on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. The constable went with Ahlwardt to the recorders court, where Ahlwardt was fined Sl00 Ahlwardt was imme- diately arrested by the constable and was held by Justice Seymour in $500 bonds to the grand jury on Arons- burgs charge. Ahlwardt then hast ened back to the recorder and had warrant issued for Aronsburg's arrest on the charge of perjury Aronsb sburg was immediately arrested and was held to the grand jury in $500 bail
 Ahlwardt denied at first to his law yer that he had a pistol last night, claiming that the one found upon him had been thrust into his pocket in court. However, he admitted that he drew the weapon to defend himself

GOVERNMENT REPORTS
UT Battles in Cuba Too One-sided e,
 Popular Belief.

HAVANA, April S.-The official ra. port issued yesterday afternoon states that the government troops attacked Maceos forces at La Palma, province of Pinar del Rio, on March 2o Tba rebels were compelled to retrea, They left behind them 80 dead lving in the streets of the town. Other dead and a number of wounded were ear. ried off by the insurgents. The total losses of the rebels are calculated to have been over ninety. The Spanish loss is given as six volunteers killed and seven regular troops wounded.
 This is the first news of a battle hay. ing been fought at La Palma. and it is impossible to verify the truth of the governments accounts of the engage. ment. The alleged rebel loss, when compared with the loss sustained by the Spaniards. lends an air of improbs. bility to the official report. Col. Mon. cado reports that he has destroyed rebel camp at Fl Jobo; province of Matanzas. The insurgents made strong resistance and did not retreat until l4 of their number were killed.
 Gen. Oliver reports the capture of another rebel camp at Santa Rosa The rebel losses in the engagement were large. The Spanish lost onelieu tenant and four soldiers killed and % wounded

RICHMOND, Va, April s.-ln the case of Mrs. Fannie Bagby, who was re gently appointed school trustee of West Point, Superintendent of Public Instruction Massey has decided that she is not eligible, and that no woman can hold office in Virginia. no matter how small it's importance may be
 MT. Massey says that after careful consideration of the matter Gov OFer. rall and Attorney-General Scott, mem bers of the state board of education, fully concur in this opinion. Their opinion is based entirely upon articles of the constitution which provide that any person shall be eligible to any state, municipal or county office, who Is entitled to vote As there no woman suffrage in Virginia, Supt Massey points out that no member oi that sex is eligible to place of schooi trustee, and consequently to any other public office. This is the first case oi the kind that has ever been called 70 the attention of the authorities.

HARRISON's HoOsIER FRIENDS
feeiing Sore Over the Exclusiveness of His
 Wedding Invitations

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April s.-The marriage of ex-President Harrison and Mrs. Dimmick has made some very sore spots in Indianapolis society, and some of the generals old-time friends have expressed themselves caustically on the exclusiveness which he has shown in the matter of invitations to his wedding.
 Outside of D. NJ. Ransdell and W. H. Ii. Miller, no one here was invited. and the friends of the ex-president believe that ne has unnecessarily placed a slight upon them. They say that it is the only social occasion in which he has figured since he returned here from Washington, and while few, if any, would have taken advantage of an invitation to attend the wedding. all would have felt better if they had been given the opportunity.

JUDGMENT AFFIRMED
In the Contempt Case of the United
 States Against E. E. Chapman.

NEW YORK, April s.-Elverton E. Chapman, whose conviction for con- tempt of the United States senate was affirmed yesterday. by the court of ap- peals of the District of Columbia. said the case would be taken to the supreme court of the United States on the ques. ton of the constitutionality of the law. which was enacted in 1857. He added:
 The case is the first to be tried un- der this law and its importance to business interests is great. If the law Is held to be constitutional it will put an end to privacy in business. All that wlll be necessary to pry into a persons business affairs will be for the senate to say, Whereas it is re- ported, therefore be it resolved to in- vestigate, and anybody who does not answer questions will be clapped into jail"

A FRENCH writer, who shows an ex- tensive knowledge of naval affairs, says the great battleships of England look more formidable than they are. and that their crews are insu fficient in numbers and training. If all this is true it applies equally to French ships. The memory of Trafalgar and Nelson will serve France a wiser purpose than any disparagement of the enormous fleets of Britannia, even if they have been untried for many years.

IT remains to be seen what the presi- dent will de in the case of the Cuban resolutions. The action of congress does not make it imperative for him to do anything, to be sure. but leaves him free to follow the dictates of his own judgment, according to such informa- tlon as he may possess, either known or unknown to that body. It is hardly to be supposed, however, that he will deliberately ignore an expression em- phasized by vote of PA to 27 in the house and similar approach to una Eimity in the senate.
