GOLF AND n. \. SOCIETY: WLLARDS FUTURE.

New York, Nov 81 met a wise old
clubman today who told me of the lat
est plan by which a young man may
quickly and easily get into society. 1t
is by way of The golf links.
II never saw anything like it," he
said. Society seems to be so tremend-
ously gone on the Scotch game that
it is ready to take to it's bosom who
ever is clever enough to travel the golf
links route. I don't mean to say that

but, judging from what I have seen
and heard. I conclude that the golf

the fact that the only American of note

1T was never better" said Mr. DAM

the time is not very far distant when

New York has an opera company. So

ICE FAMINE AT DAWSON CITY.
Latest Addition to the Summer Rigors of an
 Arctic Climate.

San Francisco, Sept. 4.-.Imagine ice a5 50 cents pound at Dawson, close under the Arctic circle. with the thermometer 90 to 100 degrees in the shade. A le5.er received from Edgas Mizner, written from Dawson on June 2S, tells of tdais and other summer rigors of an arctic cli- mate and the life and death struggle with the mosquitoes.
 Things are little quiet here just at present. Mizner wrD-es, "on account of the scarcity Of water. The weather for the last ten days has been very hot, the thermometer ranging from 90 to 100 de- grees in the shade, and ice 50 cents a pound-jus5 think of that for a place so close to the Arctic circle. Last winter everybody was too busy digging gold to save ice"

tty to have the two girls adopsed by some one who could care for them. The court acceded, and Evangelina was adop ted by very wealthy Cuban name Rafael Cauto. Her sister was adopted by an- other rich Cuban named Panchsta Ma chado, who still lives on his estalle near Sagua. Evangelinas foster father had neither wife nor near relatives. He was ann eccentric old man, but beloved by all who knew him. Evangelfna grew as dear to him as an own child. He lavished money on her education and stated in pubic that she should be his feiress, but, he died suddenly four years ago without making will Envious distant relatives stepped in and disputed the adopted daughters rights and earned .he matter of Inheritance to the courts, where 1t lays at present. Rafael Cauto died worth n -arly $7000, 900. Shorly afser his demlse Evangs1ina returned to her father.
 In Santiago 200 rebels, under Maj. Ca- von, captured the town of San Andres, near Gibara. The garrison made gal lant defense, but after seven hours nara fighting were compelled to abandon the forts The garrison of one fort was captured and thirty-elght out of fifty men were macheted The rebels looteo the stores and residences and retired be- fore re-enforcemnts could arrive
 On last Saturday, near Guines the bat talion 'Bobon," Of Gen. Weyler's com mand, was attacked by insurgents under Rodriguez and Castillo. The rebels were evidently defeated. A writer on ths spot reported that the fighting was very heavy, but am unable to give any de- tails.
 From Havana to .Tepeste. where he is at present, Weyler has cut wide swath of destruction. Every horse and COW in sight has been seized and growing crops uprooted. Some military commanders would simplify matters by destroying the rebels first, but that is not Weyler's plan, according to the statement of the correspondent in the field. The food supply that Cubans can always depend upon is sweet potatoes. Thes= grow wild in abundance and the crop ma lures quickly. For these reasons the Captain-general is personally conduct ing campaign against the tubers. But the wild potato vines are as hard to dis cover as the rebels, but Weylers cam paign is booming
 La Lucha last night published spe- cia1 edition stating he had surprised and killed eight insurgents. In the mean time the rebels are gathering strength for the fall campaign.
 I saw letter today from Q correspond ent in the field saying the insurgent army is in splendid shape but that Wey- ler's destruction of food supply is hay ing its effect in the thre= western prov inces. The rebel infantry suffers most.
 Gomez has ordered cavalry reinforce ments in the east, and for the present. would rather capture a hofse than a Spaniard. To each column of infantry he is attaching a foraging cavalry squadron.

Spring storms flrSt overturn those trees which are not well grounded. Don't let these enervating spring days find you poorly prepared to resist them. To have strong nerves, rich blood, good appetite and sound digestion is to be we'll grounded. Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypo- Phosphites will give all these, because itnourishes the whole system and reaches the very tissues of life.

ANCIENT SUICIDES.
The Greek and Roman Courts Tried Cases in
 Advance.

From the Boston Traveller. :.
 During the centuries immediately pre- ceding and those following the opening of the Christian era the voluntary death idea was at its worst. Broadly speaking the teaching of all the philosophers ora tors and poets of the time was that sui- eide was not only justifable but was a noble and coura geous act. Among the propagators of this doctrine may be men, tioned Plato. Cicero, Seneca, Epicetus, Cleanthes and Marcus Aurelius, and it can be truthfulfy asserted that many of the greatest men of pagan Europe died by their own hands. In this way Arls- totle, Dempsthenes, Zeno, Cato, Brutus Hannibal Mark Anthony and many others met their death.
 The popularity of suicide must have been due to certain extent to the learn e9 men of the time. Nevertheless, it would not be correct to class even ma- jorfty of the suicides of this period among the Greeks and Romans as the result of any teaching. althugh many were un- dubtedly due to this cause. It is certain that the bulk of voluntary deaths, oc- curing as they did among markedly de- generated people, who were deter1orat ng with every generation, were like the sui- cides of today. due to insanity (using the word in its widest sense), disgust of life
 and that uncomfortable desire to die wha5h no alienist has yet fully explained.
 When vice and dissipation wlsre at their height in Rome, self-dsstruction was most common, and suicide was most often met with among the Greeks after they fiad been conlta minated by Roman manners and customs. In a few words, the prevalence of suicide was a disease produced by depraved condition. As vice and debauchery increased, crime, immortality, disease and sslf-destruction also increased. Indeed with the Ro- mans under the empire, suicide selems to have been one of natures most &C., tive and effectuad methods of stamping out people who had become too de- graded for continued national existence. When the Gresks and Romans recog- nized the impossibiLity of committing suicide, they decided to establish tri- bunals whose duty 1t should be to hear the applications of those persons who wished to die.
 Ludicrous as this may appear to us, it is almost identical with the system eug- gested by Sir Thomas More, dn his Utopia" in 1516. If the applicant suc- ceeded in showing what the tribunal con- stdered good cause for quitting life, his prayer was granted, and he destroyed himself under the authority of the court In some instances the court not on,y sanctioned the suicide. but supplied the means of self-destruction in the shape of a decoction of hemlock. If any one. ap- piled for permission to end his life and was refused and in definance of the de- cision. committed suicide, dnis act was illegal. The Romans in such cases con- fiscated the property of the deceased, l the Greeks held his memory as dishon- ord. and treated his body with indig. dty.

guently this is the case. A woman can not be a happy, helpful amiable wife who suffers from weakness and disease at the very mainsprings of her nature. Pity may grow up to take its place, but love sitself seldom survives where this is the ease. If woman will, she may always < hold her place in mans mind and heart. If she will take the right care of herself in womanly way she will never l. Jose her rightful inheritance, hus- bands love.

It acts directly on the important and deli cate organs that make wifehood and motherhood possible and makes them fstrong and we'll. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain and tones up and builds up tired nerves. It pre- pares for almost pangless motherhood and insures healthy children. Thousands of women who were sickly, nervous, fretful invalids are now happy, cheerful and helpful wives as a result of its use All good medicine dealers keep it and there is nothing "just as good" Any dealer who tries to persuade you that there IS. ssis thinking more of his profit than of your welfare and health.

900. The annual cost of the city govern ment will be not less than sT50OO,00o, and next year it may be $100.00O,000. Thene will bs about 150 offices paying salaries ranging from 5000 to $20,000 a year, and more than ons-haf these places will be hlled by appointment by the mayor. There will be mona than 1 900 places pay ing salaries from g, 900 to $5,000 a year. Street sweepers receive $60 a mouth and work eight hours a day, while common laboners receive $2 for eight hours WorK.
 The city will spend $15000000 year for supplies and the contracts for public work will amount to probably $40,00O,OO0 year, and keep 15,000 to 10000 men em- ployed eight or nine months out of the twelve. The mayor and other city offi- cers are to be elected for four years and the party that gets into power at the first election can hold on for many years by judicious use of the patronage.
 2. In addition to the local places the con- solidated city will elect fourteen mem- bers of congress, sixty members of the state assembly and eighteen state sena- tors. The places in the federal service in the city number nearly 1000, so 1t Will be seen that, counting the men working for contractors on city work, 10 per cent of the voting population will hold pup Nc or semi-public place. iiu But this is not all the patronage. An election, local state or national, will be held every year and each election will cost more than $1 100000. There will be nearly 12,000 election officers, inspectors and clerks, for each election and their pay is $S6 each for five days work, four days of registration at SC a day and SIP for election day.
 With such vast patronage in sight, it is not to be expected that party leaders are going to drag any national issues in- to the fight or indorse any platform or policy as a matter of form or sentiment. They are after the offices, and all talk about any other issue in this fight is pure cant.
 President Quigg of the republican county committee sent letters to all his district leaders asking them to get the organization enrolment up to 60 per cent. of the vote for Mckinley. One leader promptly replied: "Get my district SO per cent. of the patronage to which the boys feel that they are entitled, and then we'll swell the enrolment" That's the spirit of this campaign. Get the pat ronage.
 At the present time it looks like an easy fight for Tammany Hall The lead ers to use the exact language of some of them, say "Its a dead easy graft" Tammany is going to control the demo- cratic city convention and name the can didates. The organization will also make the platform and they are going to make it a document to get votes in this election and not to sustain any na- tional issue.
 ... The candidates of the organization will not be selected until Richard Croker re- turns from Europe. Croker is still the dominating power in the organization, although he persists in the fiction that he is out of politics.
