The Pittsburgh Times urges as rea-
son for the annexation of Cuba the fact
that under SPANS rule Havana Is a pest
house-a breeding place OF yellow fever
and other contagious diseases, and a
source OF great annoyance and expense
to US In consequence. At present, owing
to the close proximity to the shores of the
United States, and the constant travel
and trade between Cuba and this coun-
try. II Is hard to guard against the dan
gers Of the importation OF plaques,
The Times thinks that the United
States should be allowed to compel the
people of Cuba to observe the rules OF
cleanliness and to apply proper measures
of sanitary science. This is zone OF the
many reasons for the desirabHlty Of a
change of administration of Cuban af-
fairs. and whether Cuba ever becomes a
part of this country or not, certainly the
United States government should bring
to bear whatever influence 1t can IN the
direction Of better sanitary conditions in
Havana as a measure of protection for
our own people.

That the management should be salts
fled with the constant inspection of the
track, which could not detect that UNDER
mining was taking place during high

greatest railway companies in the world
might have had system OF inspection
for the base OF the wall on which SO much

There win, OF course, be demand for
thorough investigation into the re-

hoped that good may come from 1t in the
way of impressing the management of
railways generally on the Importance OF
rendering such fatalities as this as near

A minister in Brunswick, New Jersey,
defends the Princeton University for
serving wine at the banquet given TO the
foreign delegates to the sesqui-centen-
NAL. on the ground that the foreigners
were used to wine at home" II the
reverend gentleman could not find bet
ter argument in support of the action of
the management OF Princeton he should
have remained silent. Does he provide
wines and liquors at his home for guests
who may be accustomed to their use, and
do his guests expect it, knowing his call
ing and HIS profession? n
The mistake of the Princeton manage
ment was not 50 much In the matter Of
serving the wine, as in supposing that
the guests would expect It to violate Its
rules and professions and depart from
its usual methods of extending hospi-
tally.

A surfelt of such pleasure;
At thought OF rest her heart Is glad,
Rost in unstinted measure;
In dreamy hope Of 1t she lies

For breezes soft with dangerous heat
Come winds. all cool and daring;
And all the trees strip on complete
To give their limbs an airing.
From their gay robes they piece n spread
To cover soft the dear Earth's bed.
Nor ever was there any wine
To set the blood a-going
Through every vein. as tonic nne,
Like autumn's breath innowlng;
In autumn air, meath autumn's skies,
How can one even think OF signs!
