Not many women would have displayed
the GOODNESS and bravery which
Miss Annie Morgan, the daughter
of J. Pierpont Morgan, showed
when her horse became unmanage-
able on a railroad track with an
express train rapidly heaving in sight near
West Point, N. Y, few days ago. That
she did not lose her life was a miracle
and it can only be attributed to the mar
Vicious presence of mind she showed Miss
Morgan was driving a spirited, but ner-
Vous animal to keep a golf engagement at
Garrison's, her coachman, Whitaker, seat
ed beside her in the carriage calm and
impassive. as is the habit of these lacKeys.
The carriage arrived at the West Point
crossing just as the fagman had lowered
the gates. Seeing that the young wo-
man was in hurry and knowing that
enough time would elapse 10 allow her to
safely cross before the train came through
the tunnel, the f1agman raised the gates
and Miss Morgan touched up her horse
with the whip. The animal boted sud
denly forward, and then stopped in the
middle of the track. In another instant
the animal had become unmanageable,
and tore round in a circle.
Whitaker seized the reins and tried to
keep the horse under control He might
as well have attempted to stop the Hud-
son. The animal seemed to be possessed
of the strength of ten horses. He jumped
wildly and then dashed up the track The
train was then in the tunnel, running to-
wards the party at the rate of forty miles
an hour. To escape seemed impossible. A
high wall of solid rock rose more than
fifty feet high to the left while along TIE
right track ran the Hudson river. 1t was
a critical moment for Miss Morgan and her
coachman, when the head of the engine
hove in sight.
By some fortunate chance the horse had
ceased his race forward and was
now trying to beat his brains out against
the rails. At this moment Miss Morgan
leaped and landed on the edge of the
river. The horse swayed toward the
south-bound track and the train dashed
along just grazing the animals head. The
horses jaw was broken, but as Whitaker
and the wagon were on the up track no
other damage was done. Although Miss
Morgan was badly shaken up she contin-
ued her journey to Garrisons, and the horse
was taken home. Miss Morgan is one of
the beauties of New York, and her cool
ness and nerve are well-known to all of
her friends, who have witnessed more than
one exhibition of it.

How we have been criticised by our for
eign friends. lady says the New York
Times, who was al the head of a girls
school IN California told me of her japan
csc cook, who was writing letters to
Tokyo paper, giving his American impress
slons. II seems he was really a student
ana graduate of the University of Tokyo.
Inc japanese do not consider housevork
meniaI, and some years ago many students
came over to this country for the love of
travel and incidentally paid expenses by
cooking When my friend first Knew she
was entertaining "a chiel who was taking
notes, he was on his seVenty-niuth letter
she mad been giving a party for the girls.
ana ne was much impressed by the beauty
OF the girls in party dress, And like other
OF our critics, was amazed at the freedom
allowed them. The same cook was an
artist and on Sunday morning he would
give each member of the household a beau
tiful menu card. Miss d. said the roses
ana cherry blossoms were simply exuuis-
lite, and she invariably felt a thrill of nor
ror when she saw the falling petals not
concealing the plebian words: Bacon and
eggs or Liver and bacon" The people
who eat rice seem to have more ethereal
natures and delicate sensibihties than the
consumers of pork!

Notwithstanding the cruelty and oppres-
sion of the Spaniards in Cuba their ty-
rannical methods have not succeeded in
destroying the beauty of the fair inhab-
itants of this island. That the comeIiness
of the Cuban women has not been exag-
gerated by those who have had an oppor-
tunity to see them in their native land is
evidenced by those who have escaped to
these hospitable shores. These fair de-
scendants of their oppressors combine in
themselves the vivacity and couuetry of
their Spanish progenitors and the Ian
guor and gracefulness of our own South
ern beauties. No more striking example
of lovely girlhood can be found in New
York than Miss Maria Mantilla, who is re-
garded as a perfect type of Cuban beau-
ty. She is barely II, yet quite accom-
plished for young woman of her age.
She plays well and is very fond of the ma
tional hymns and marches of her country
which she executes with much skill and
spirit AS a singer she has been in great
demand at the fairs and concerts which
hel countrywomen have been giving for
two years in aid of Cuban soldiers. The
most interesting fact about this Young
lady is that she was a pupil of Gen. Jose
MartI, who was the first Cuban president
and who persisted at the hands Of treach-
erous Spaniards so early in the struggle
for independence. He taught her every
thing she knows, for she has had no other
teacher. Her sister Miss Carmen MantI
la, Is secretary of the Daughters of Cuba
a society which has contributed $4,000 in
two years TO the support Of the Cuban
army.
The MAntillas belong TO an old and dis
tinguished family in Santiago and were
before the war Of inde >7ence commence
ed, very wealthy. II lighters of Mr..
Mantilla were much sought after by the
Spanish officers in Cuba, but their open
avowal of the Cuban cause incurred the
displeasure of the authorities and they
had to flee the island for safety. Miss
Mantilla is taking a deep interest In the
action around Santiago. That city is her
birthplace and many of her friends and
playmates are with Garcia and the other
Cuban generals now operating before its
walls.

San Francisco. Nov 26.-Extraordinary
efforts are being made 10 suppress infer

ties refuse to discuss the matter AMI the
local papers have entered into an agree

have been a numbe: OF myst p ious deaths

dropped off suddenly, in most cases hav-
ing been sick only few hours.
This leads the health department TO
that there are several suspicious cas- s
under quarantine. The city physicians
reported they were not certain as to tie
nature of the disease. Some think il is
the bubonic plauge and others think it is
Asiatic cholera. With this alarming re-
port the board declared a quarantine
which will be maintained more strict un-
til the malady prove either cholera or
plague.
II the worst fears of the health officials
are realized and the mysterious deaths

will be extremely difficult to prevent an
epidemic and to ccnfine the disease to the
section in which the Chinese live. The
district is right in the heart of the city
and so situated that it will be easy for

GENERAL LUDINGTON
MAKES HIS REPORT
WORK OF THE arARTERMAsrERs
Details Of the Service Performed In
That Department During the
Recent War With Spain.

In his annual report made public today,
Quartermaster General Ludington, after
covering the operations of the quarter

says the matter of clothing and equipping
the army, enlarged as it was in regulars
and volunteers by the act of Congress Of
April 26 was problem of vast proper

was little cotton duck in the country suit

purchases Of the Navy Department having
depleted the supply. and kerseys and fan

manufactured.
Every known eXpedient was resorted to,
General LudingtOn says, to overcome the
many difficulties encountered. and in the
short period Of three and one half months
an army of 275Ooo men was thoroughly
equipped.
He details the story Of the purchase
and lease of transports and the transpor-
tation Of the troops TO Cuba ana I'orto
Rico and the Philippines. The total ex-
penditure for the purchase of vessels was
S6,476,SC. The total movement by trans
ports up 10 September l5 was 81, S3G. In
conclusion he says:
i desire to state that This office. dur
ing the war. has constantly kept in view
the fact that the all-important duty was
to provide for and promptly fur
nish the army with all needfuI quarter
master supplies.
''At the announcement of hostilities the
regular establishment of this department
did not afford enough officers of expert
ence TO meet all the requirements of the
extraordinary situation with which the
department was so suddenly confronted
Important problems had To be consii-
cred and solved. large business transac-
tions had TO be quickly concluded in order
that the troops could be promptly equip

Whether a dummy was used to answer
