QUEER CUBAN ALLIES.
Beneficinries Who Want All Fuyors
and No Work

Various official. regarded as reliable
sources of information, do not take the
trouble to deny that friction exists be.
tween the insurgents and the America n
forces in Cuba. Several times. in his late
dispatches, Gen. Shafter has referred to
possibility of trouble as a direct result
of Cuban dissatisfaction. and the intelli-
gence tends to disturb the Administration
and the War Department.
The lack of harmony between the in
surgents and the American forces arises
from the wide dissimilarity of the ideas
of war entertained by the two parties.
Since the beginning of the Cuban inva-
sion the War Department has repea tedly
been informed of a disinclination on the
part of the insurgents to assist in any
work not directly appealing to their
fancy During the heavy rains following
Gen. Shafter's landing at Baiquiri the
Cubans declined to aid in the work OF
building roads necessary to any progress
inland. On subsequent occasions they
displayed an inclination to shirk the more
arduous duties of war, and when the
actual fighting began their conspicuous
failure to enter into the conflict actively
occasioned much surprise TO the military
authorities here. The Cubans never have
been an element of much considera ton
in the Santiago campaign. and yet when
the city had been surrendered they ex-
pressed intense dissatisfaction over their
insignificant portion of the glory.
The insurgents are reported to have in
sisted upon permission to sack the fallen
city. and, further, they entertained the
confident hope that il would be turned
over to them without question.
Ii has been Officially reported to the
War Department that the establishment
of an American government in Santiago
has called forth loud expressions of dis
satisfaction from the Cubans, who place
but little reliance in the promise that the
government is only temporary and pro-
visional.
1t is feared that complications with the
Cubans may become an element in the
island campaign; but that has not been
wholly unexpected for some time

Water Is accused of making fat, and
people with tendency to corpulence
avoid IL for that reason. But this is
not strictly true. 1t does undoubtedly
often increase the weight but 1t does
so because it improves the digestion
and therefore more of the food eaten
is utilized and turned into fat and
flesh. But excessive fat, what we call
corpulence, is not sign of health but
of faulty digestion and assimilation,
and systematic water-drinking is often
employed as means of reducing the
superfiuous fat-which 1t sometimes
does with astonishing rapidity.-

CANINE CONSTABULARY.
A Force OF Bloodhounds at Every County
Seat Suggested.


We have frequently urged on the
county authorities of this State during
the past few years the expediency Of
the plan of keeping few track hounds
at some convenient point in each coun-
ty, not only to trace actual criminals,
who cannot be followed by any other
means, but to deter the criminally dis
posed from the commission of contem-
plated crimes by the assurance which
the presence of the dog detective af-
fords that they will be speedily follow
ed and caught If they give effect to
their evil inclinations. The sugges-
ton has been enforced on several &C.
casions by reports of good service rem
dered by the dogs in the few countries
where they are kept, and some very
convincing testimony Of the same char
acter is added by our Florence corre-
spondent in his letter, published yester-
day. After relating how the mere ar
rival Of the dogs at Chadbourn had
caused an unknown burglar to betray
himself by attempted fight, he adds:
Major Day received telegram yes
terday from ]. w. Cherry of Wilson,
N. c., requesting that the bloodhounds
owned by the city of Florence be sent
to that place by the first train. These
man trailers have been used consider
ably of late by the authorities in North
Carolina for running down criminals,
and they have been very successful.
Florence, of course, gets good pay for
them whenever they are used for any
other purpose than running down GRIM
inals within the city limits. 1t has
been a great thing for Florence, having
these trailers on hand, for it has re-
duced burglary and incendiarism very
nearly 100 per cent. during the time
they have been here. These dogs are
the same ones that ran down muir
derer near Hub, n. c., last year, and
ran down Edgar Purvis. the tramp who
shot Flagman Blackwell on Coast
Line train at Dunn, n. c., about two
weeks ago. They are sent anywhere
upon receipt of telegram, with assur-
ance that the price will be paid for
their services"
The lively demand for the animals
from neighboring counties is evidence
enough of their successful services
heretofore, and proves that they are
regarded as useful police institution.
They should be as usefui in every coun-
ty.
The most important testimony to
their value, however, is afforded in the
statement as to the effect of their APP
pearance in reducing crime. The mere
fact of having these trailers on hand"
we are told, has been great thing for
Florence" as shown by the marked de-
crease in the number of cases of bur-
glary and incendiarism alone, to say
nothing of other serious or lesser
crimes. A similar equipment should
be a great thing for other towns or
counties for the same reason, and when
its small cost is considered it Is really
strange that every county is not pro-
vided with one.-Charleston IN. Co

AT DR.. M'Cosh's Expense.

The late DR.. McCosh, Of Princeton
University, was an excellent hand at
securing donations for that institution,
and yet it was always his boast that
he never asked any man for cent.
In connection with this well-known
trait of President McCosh's character,
a prominent educator of this city tells
how one of the doctors friends and
Chauncey M. Depew once conspired to
mortify the good old Princetonian at
a Yale dinner 1t was arranged that
the friend should accuse the doctor of
begging. and that Mr.. Depew should
follow with vigorous denial. In the
first speech it was asserted that DR..
McCosh made practice of calling upon
brokers in their Offices and remaining
until in sheer desperation, the brokers
gave him contributions to get rid Of
him; also, that he attended meetings
of various kinds for the purpose of TAX
ing up a collection for Princeton at the
end.
During the address Dr. McCosh turn
ed white with anger, and started to re-
ply. when the chairman recognized Mr..
Depew.
81 believe that all the accusations
made against our Princetonian guest
are entirely without foundation" said
Mr.. Depew. II have never heard OF
his begging from broker"
Never! Never" cried DR.. McCosh.
and l never heard of his attending
meetings called for other purposes and
begging for his university"
Never" again echoed the doctor.

thing OF that kind implied" contin-
ued Mr.. Depew. vas when I was told
that he stood on New York street cor
ner with a monkey and hand organ,
wearing a placard or which was print
ed: L am poor and blind, so please
help Princeton DR.. McCosh never at

The Chinese Oil Tree.

In a recent report of the United
States Consul General at Shanghai
there is an interesting description of
the Tung, or Chinese oil tree. rhis
useful tree grows to a height of fifteen
feet, and is of beautiful appearance, its
leaves being vivid green and its flowers
pink-white. The seeds are poisonous,
and it is from them that the oil is
extracted in the most primitive fashion
by wooden presses worked with
wedges. The oil thus obtained is used
all over the country in the manufacture
of paint and varnish, for water proof
ing paper and umbrellas, and in some
district for Illuminating purposes. But
it's chief use is for calking boats. On
the submerged parts OF vessels 1t is
applied hot, but on other parts it is
painted on in thin coats quite cold. All
Chinese boats are thus oiled twice a
month, and so are made to assume a
glossy appearance, while the wood is
greatly preserved. Like most other
commodities, this tree oil is often adul-
terated before 1t is sold by retailers
chiefly with cottonseed oil.

Water Drinking.

When 1t is considered that the body
is made up very largely of water 1t can
readily be understood how important
to health is a constant supply of this
fluid. Many people have an idea that
the drinking of water in any amount
beyond that actually necessary 20
quench the thirst is injurious, and act
ing on this belief they endeavor to
drink as little as possible. The no
ton, however, IS wide of the truth.
Drinking freely of pure water is n
most efiicacious means not only Of
preserving the health. but often of re-
storing life when failing.
All the tissues of the body neei
water. and water In abundance is nee
essary also for the proper performance
Of every vital function. Cleanliness Of
the tissues within the body Is as nee
essary to health and comfort as clean
