THE DIAL OF DEATH
ITY OF THREE DREAD
DISEASES.
A TIMELY WARNING FOR MANY.

In an acticle in a September issue of
the Illustrated American, Prof. Fetch
er w. Hewes publishes dial, iHustrat-
ing the ratio of deaths in the United
States from the most prevalent diseas-
es. This is a reproduction of Prof.
Hewes' dial
In his article Prof. Hewes says: This
dial should serve as a guide to en-
phasize the need of specially guard
ing against exposure to at least three
classes of diseases. Few persons real
ize how very large are the proportion
Of deaths from these three classes of
disorders. Figures alone do not tell the
story. The wide spaces on the dial be-
tween the lower and upper indicators
should make one realize the fatality
of those diseases as never before, and
be more careful"
1t will be noted on the dial that
where diphtheria and typhoid fever
each kill but $4,000 people, consumption
alone kills 1000 people. Next to con-
sumption in the dread race of death
stands pneumonia, with a record of 49,
900. Right at it's heels is the record of
$4,000 for diarrheal diseases.
There is more than one lesson to be
learned from these figures and from
this dial. And there are other facts to

THOUSANDS STARVING.
| Terrible State of Affairs Reported
to Exist In Cuba.


NEW YORK, Nov. ia special
from Havana says: In every town in
Cuba where there are American citi-
gather every day in front Of the houses
of those Americans and beg for the
crumbs that fall from the tables; that
Americans have anything on their
tables from which crumbs could fall is
due to the relief fund of $4,000 voted
last spring by congress. Consul Cen
eral Lee has drawn, so far, about $4,000
of the total amount and has distri6ut-
ed the money to the consuls in Matan-
zas, CienfuegOs, Sagua, Santiago and
elsewhere. These consuls buy prOVi-
sions and distribute weekly rations to
distressed Americans.
There are 400 Americans on the re-
lief fund list. OF these about $50 are
American born. The others are nat
uralized citizens and their families,
who, having had their citizenship pa
pers properly registered at the different
United States consulates, are entitled
if in distress to the same relief as
American born citizens. This course
of action Gen. Lee has followed in all
cases and the state department has ap-
proved it.
According to a statement made by
Consul Barker who is stationed at
Sagua, about ten thousand people are
being kept alive in Cuba by these ra-
lions distributed for the support Of
/, 400. Neighbors gather around the
front doors of the houses of American
citizens and beg a share of the food
that comes from the consulates. Where
suffering is general these appeals are
not in vain and the scant supply of
rice, jerked beef and bread is made to
do service for five instead Of one. In
the town of Sagua person walking
through the principal streets about IL
a. m. or p. m. can tell the houses of
American citizens by the crowds of
starving creatures patiently waiting at
the door and hoping to get even a
mouthful of rice or the crust of a
piece of bread.
The most pitiful sight is to see the
babes in arms, hardly alive, and the
small children with their thin little legs
and arms and distended bodies, all in
dicating lack of nourishment and death
by starvation.
1t is generally believed here in Ha-
vana that Blanco has received orders
from Madrid to do everything possible
TO prevent starvation reports from go
ing to the United States and that Min
lister Depuy de LONE has advised him
to issue proclamations and orders that
will convey the idea that the new
regime will take care of the noncom-
batants and stop the present appalling
death rate.

the profits should be applied first upon
the money advanced and second to the
payment Of the debts of the elevator
company.
The petition further alleges that the
parties to the agreement subscribed
800 to carry on the business and
received a transfer of the company )
corporation stock and personal proper
ty, as agreed, but that none of the
parties ever advanced any of the money
subscribed, but. on the other hand,
proceeded to sell all the elevators and
other property of the company with
out it's knowledge or consent, and con-
verted it to their own use and have
never paid any Of the claims against
the elevator company. The petition fur
Their says that the property of the COM
pany at the time of the transfer was
worth fully $213,O00 and judgment is
asked against the defendants for that
amount 1t is understood that nearly
all the stock of the elevator company
is owned by John Butler, of Ellsworth,

CUT Is ANNOUNCED.
milwaukee Follows the Wisconsin
Central I'm the Matter.


The Wisconsin Central has made
good its word, and has started to put
into effect it's threatened action reduc
ing the open rate to Chicago to So, with
a view to extracting what it considers
its fair share of the traffic out of the
chaos of decentralization. A telegram
from General Passenger Agent Pond,
at Milwaukee, did the business, and
the announcement was made at the
local office yesterday morning that the
rate would be operative Monday morn
ing. Herman Brown, city ticket agent,
is authority for the statement that his
line has stood by and watched the
strong lines steal away theatrical par
ties, Italian laborers, etc, long enough,
by the quotation Of low rates. and
that, for a time at least, an effort will
be made to play even on this as well
as other classes of business. He init
mates that his road may cut still
further under the published tariff if
necessary.
When the action was known, some of
the other lines decided to meet the
rate, notably the Milwaukee, while
some of the other roads preferred to
wait for the action of the general pas
senger agents this afternoon in Chi
cago at a meeting called to cure the
fearful decentralization which has been
going on. AS the Milwaukee is one of
the strong lines, it Is expected that
this will open the war, and the fire
works have only just begun. 1t is
probable that the other strong lines
will make the cut to So or lower. Local
passenger men think this war will re-
suit in abOlishing the secret rate cut
ting which has been going on for some
time, and after the smoke has cleared
away the situation will be more stable

THAT DOG TARIFF.
Not an Easy Matter to Arrange IL
satisfactory One.

1t appears to be not the easiest mat
ter in the world for two or three trans
continental roads to put into operation
a simple thing like a dog tariff AS
already stated in the Globe, the
cross country lines are determined to
50 arrange that some revenue is de-
rived from this class Of business, but
the final agreement on the details of
the tariff could not be drawn up yes
terday. 1t is suggested that dogs
accepted for shipment be cIassed like
excess baggage, and taxed as such. y
per cent Of the through rate of fare.
A further proposition, calculated to in
duce shippers to crate their dogs and
thus allow them to be shipped with
greater economy of space, is to split
the tax in two on CANNES safely boxed.
While the passenger agents agree this
VIII do very we'll on business sent
across the country, some doubt is ex-
pressed as to how it will work with
the local sportsmen who take their
dogs but short distances, and rarely
crate them.
The tariff on dog sent to the Pa
chic slope would amount to about 81. 20.
Nothing definite was done yesterday.
but it is expected that the tariff will
be operative not later than Dec. l.

OMAHA BRIDGE CASE.
Decision Handed Down by the Conn
merce Commission.

merce Commission.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The inter-
state commerce commission today, in
an opinion by Commissioner Knapp,
opnounced it's decision in the case of
the Commercial club of Omaha against
the Chicago & Northwestern Railway
company and other carriers, known as
the Omaha bridge case. The object OF
the complaint was to compel the car
riers to charge between Omaha and
noints in Iowa no more than they
charge on like freight between Council
T2l1ffs and the same points in Iowa.
The commission decides that Council
T211ffs on the east. bank of the Mis-
eouri river. is more faVorably situated
than Omaha, on the west side of that
river in regard to traffic with points
I'm Iowa. and that the carriers are not
TO be condemned for recognizing such
natural advantages of location in ad-
i1sting their charges; nor does it fol-
low that rates should be the same
from Omaha and Council Bluffs into
Iowa because they are the same from
those cities into Nebraska. The decI-
sion states that Omaha and Council
Bluffs enjoy equal rates to and from
substantially all points except as to
this traffic in Iowa, and it is shown
that rates from the South are made
fhe same by competing railways on
both sides of the river; that rates from
the West are the same as far east as Chi
cago and are part of an extensive sys-
. fem of transcontinental rates, and
that rates from the east being the same
result in considerable advantage to
Omaha. In view of the conditions af-
fecting transportation to and from
points in Iowa and of the whole rate
situation of the two places, the COM
mission holds that the charge of unjust
discrimination against Omaha is not
sustained and that the complaint
should be dismissed without prejudice.

SUE FOR S2I3,OOO.
Important Case Against n Railway
Begun by an Elevator Company.

WORTHINGTON, Mimi, Nov. 10
A suit involving $4,000 has been
brought against the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids & Northern railway by the
Iowa, Minnesota & Dakota Elevator
company. The petition is on file here
and will be disposed of here unless
transferred to the United States court.
The petition alleges that the elevator
company was, in $780, engaged in ship
ping grain at various points along the
line of the defendant company, and
also on the Illinois Central: that in
January of that year it owed the road
1900, and various other persons $147,-
coo more; that it could not pay the in
debtedness, nor continue business; that
on Dec 6, $780, an agreement was
reached by which arrangements were
made for continuing the business.
The agreement is given in full, and
it shows that the defendants and John
Cudahy, the Weare Commission COM
pany and the National Linseed Oil
company agreed to advance such
money as was necessary to continue
the business, on condition that all stock
in the elevator company and its per-
sonal property should be transferred
to them. 1t was agreed that the money
received for the business should be de-
voted to the payment of expenses, and

MKrNLEY WANTS PEACE.
No More Cuban War Scares on the
Programme.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-The World
this morning makes the following state
ment: The World is able to say on
very high authority that President
Mckinley will tacitly approve the pro-
gramme for autonomy or home rule
for Cuba which Spain now promises.
Second. that the president will express
the hope that the Cubans will not pro-
long their war for complete independ-
ence but will accept instead form Of
autonomy. Third, that if the Cubans
do not heed his advice Spain will be
given more time without interference
from the United States. Fourth, the
president says that he ardently desires
peace. both at home and abroad.
'sWar scares" and ''beligerency res
olutions disturb business, retard pros
nerity and do no good. A new con-
eress is to be chosen next fall and
everything depends on good times"
A season of peace from Cuban sensa-
items" is therefore now almost certain.
Spain has been informed Of McKin-
ley's hopes and plans, and as the first
evidence of her own fond intentions
and good will she pardoned and re-
leased yesterday the American crew Of
the flibustering schooner Competitor
caught under arms off the coast Of
Cuba on April Is, 1896.
