Consul General Lee Appeals to Wey1er for

Havana, January 16.-It is stated that
the condition of Henry Delgado, who
claims to be an American citizen and
who WAS arrested a short time ago on
the charge of being a rebel officer, is
critical. When Deigado was captured,
he was seeking to make his escape from
rebel hospital which had been discov-
cred by Spanish troops. He was i'll at
the time and upon being brought to
Havana he was placed in the San Am
brosio hospital. In view of his present
condition, Consul General Lee has re-
questsd Capt-General Weyler to order
Delgado to have better quarters allotted
to him, possibly a separate room in the
same hospital or elsewhere. and that he
be permitted to have the special medical
attendance of DR.. Burgess, well-know
American physician who has practiced
in Havana for many years. Delgado is
said to be suffering from an abscess in
addition to malarial fever.

BARNATO IN THE COMMUNE.
How the Diamond King Saved the
g Bank of France.
PHILADELPHIA Bulletin.

A writer of stories about Barney Barnato
says that there is a circumstanually def1-
ing the commune of 1871 In the breakup of
all social fabric he found his capacities or a
paying order. For there was little DOUBT
that his was the craft that enabled the
shreWder communards to realize the money
needed to supply the sinews of war,
One day, during the gloom and stress Oh
the government siege, the president OF the
Bank of FRANCE was confronted by an UNI
kempt mob. The demand was explicit Tney
wanted all the gold in the bank vaults.
The spokesman fiourished a bloody saber,
ard the mob accumulated the demand by all
sorts Of ferocous threats. 1t was In the
height of this melee that a. man who had
been counseing the financial deputy of the
commune rode up, adorned by red sash
and other insignia Of the terroristisS; he he
throng, and handed the governor Of the
bank large envelope. While the official
was reading it, the besashed enissary
turned to the clamoring nomads, and IN a
tongue unknown to the officials and prob
ably to many of the mob addressed the
a few sentences. A singular event followed
A dozen of the ring leaders at once began
haranguing the rioters. In a. few minutes
every one of them withdrew. The besaShed
parsonage remained in consultation with
the governor, and when 1t was ended with
drew. An hour later six covered wagons
came to the bank and were laden with bags,
such as the bank always makes use or IN
When Barnato appeared as the diamond
king in South Africa a score of the COM
munardS, VINO nau lied from france, were
in exile in the region where Barnato had
cornered the mines. One day in the plenti-
tude of his affluence he was waylaid, riding
in the Rand, by company of miners. One
of them. by few words, succeeded in
gaining his private ear. This man was
known as the most ferocious of the blood
thirsty gang who had taken part in the
killing OF the hostages in La Roquette. he
recognized Barnato as the emissary sent by
the commune to the Bank of France, and
the knowledge enabled him to get in on the
ground floor Of the diamond deal. The tale
goes on to tell that Barnato who figured
as Felix Barnette. had fallen desperately
in love with a fgurante in the Folies Ber-
gere just as the war of 1870 broke out; that
he had fingered in Paris became member
of one of the red societies, exploited the
ardent patriotism of his co-workers and
succeeded in getting several millions of the
cash he had forced from the Bank of
France. The tale. whether true or not. is by
no means as improbable the actual facts
known in the mans mastery of the African
diamond fields. For to do that he was
forced to put himself against such schem-
ers as Cecil Rhodes. He had to contend
with the "dour' stiffness Of the Beers,
and particularly with that astute old fox,
Uncle Kruger.

hence, while there is waste OF substance,
there is often lack Of necessary nourish-'
ment
Prof Atwater cites the case of a very
poor widow with family of children, AIN
bright and industrious and well intentioned-
She put in the way of earning a small
sum of money. OF the first 50 which She.
received 60 cents went for jelly, tumbler-
full of which contains less nutriment than a
slice of bread. In another case a laborer
earns from 81. 80 a week TO s.. according as
he has worked. The wife spent IS cents a
day for bread. Thirteen cents would have
paid for -four, yeast, etc, and extra coal,
had the bread been made at home. Examin-
alton showed that the family had about
four-ffths OF the nutriment required to
keep them IN good working condition. It
IS not uncommon for the poor in preparing
meat for the table to throw away the mar
row bones as worthless. Many of the dishes
prepared by ignorant wives and mothers
make business for the public dispensary.
The most practical philanthropy is that
which teaches people 70 properly help them
selves. If all the women in the homes OF
the poor could be trained in the rudiments
of cookery, taught the value of food and
how to economic what they buy IL would
be equivalent to a general advance OF wages
for the bread winner, who would save
money on domestic expenses, save time lost
in sickness, and, with the rest of their FAM
lilies enjoy better health and have more
strength for their daily labor.

berating manholes. The shrill whistle of
the letter carriers is the subject of COM
plants, of which no serious notice has been
taken yet. The yelling of newsboys is not
so much of a nuisance in New York as
some other cities. Lower New York of
course, is filed with their shouts, but the
general use of news stands in the metrop-
oils does away with the crying of papers in
the uptown districts.
Not many cities are built on a rock like
New York; and so the blasting of rock at
untimely hours is peculiarly New York
nuisance. People may rise at a. m. in
New York If they wish, but public opinion
says that they cannot begin to blast rock
al that hour.

Indians is sanctifed by this powder, so
that, Captain Bourke writes in the
ninth volume of the Report of the Bureau
OF Ethnology (Smithsonian), plenty of
hoddentin has come to mean that a par
ticular performance or place is sacred"
Captain Bourke shows many analogies to
the use of this sacred powder, both in the
East and among the ancient Greeks and
Romans, and it is clear that similar prac-
tees with regard to "medcine-tha is
magic-have prevailed everywhere and in
all ages, for superstition seems to be the
universal heritage Of man, so deeply in
grained in his very nature that all the eff
forts of philosophers and thirteen clubs"
will not avail to root it cut. Medicine bags
or amulets will continue to be worn openly
or secretly not only by The wild Indian and
the Kafir, but by many among ourselves
who cling to the beliefs handed down prob
ably from remote prehistoric ages
