ROTHSCHILD GENEROSITY.
Winner of the Grand Prix Presents
Gains, $4,000, to the Poor.

Paris June 9.-In accordance with the
time-honored custom which requires
that the head of the state should re-
ceive in official audience on the day fol-
lowing the Grand Prix race, the winner
of that blue ribbon of the French turn
for the purpose of congratulat1ng MIN,
President Faure received today at the
Flysee with a considerable amount OF
state Baron Rothschild, the great bank
er who won this race yesterday with MS
horse Leroi Soilil.
The proceedings were marked by ad-
ditional cordiality owing to the an
nouncement made by the great imam
cier to the president that he had de-
cided to present his winning, amounting
to $40. 600 to the state department for
the relief of the poor in the city This
is an act of muniflcence, which, whlle
it has excited a great deal of sat1sfac-
ton on the part of the people at large,
is criticized severely by racing men In
general, who foresee that from now on
they will incur public odium unless they
follow the baron's example in present.
ing the stakes to the poor whenever
they are fortunate enough to win the
Grand Prix.
1t can not be denied, however, that
the baron, through this gift, has made
a generous response to the violent at
tacks the members of the race, and
his family in particular, have been sub
jected during the past eight months in
connection with ola-Dreyfus- Ester
hazy scandal. No one has been more
abused than the baron as the foe of
the poor, whom the anti-Dreyfus agita-
tors have endeavOred by every means
in their power to incite against the
Rothschilds. And yet it is the baron
who, by presenting all his winnings on
the turf to the poor, is the first of the
racing men in France to inaugurate
custom which the Duke of Portland and
some other great English patrons of the
turf have been following for some time.
1t may be added that this reception
of the winner of the Grand Prix by the
chief of the state has been followed ever
since the Inauguration of the race, more
than half century ago, king, emperor
and president of the republic all con-
forming themselves to the rule. 1t has
only been omitted on two occasions,
namely, when the Grand Prix was won
by Edmond Blanc, the chief owner of
the public gambling house at Monte
Carlo. Partly on account of the source
of his wealth and partly, too, in conse-
Quence of his more than shady record
on the turf, which has led to his mar
rowly escaping being lynched on sew
era1 occasions, President Carnot de-
clined to grant him the customary au-
dience
In connection with the Esterhazy case
it may be mentioned that Madame ES-
her husband on the alleged ground of
his questionable financial transactions,
which had involved him in monetary
difficulties, and had compromised her
fortune. The Colonel allowed his case
to go by default, although had his rec
ord been clear he might have been able
to secure a decree in his faver, the adj
miration for his wife on the part of the
principal generals in the army, to
whose protection he owes his immunity
from punishment, being a matter of
common knowledge and gossip.

HE'S NOT DEAD.
President of San Domingo is Alive
But q Fugitive.

Cape Haytien. Hayti. June 9.-Much
mystery was observed regarding the
visit of the Dominican gunboat Restor-
acton to this port last evening. 1t trans
pired that President Heureaux of San
Domingo was aboard the vessel and
that from here he goes to Inagua, where
Senior Jiminez was last known to be 10
Gated. The Restoration left Cape Hay
ten before 5 o'clock this morning.
Commodore Jansen who came ashore
shortly after the arrival of the Restor-
acton to receive the report of the Do
minican consul on the alleged illegal
shipment of men from this point by
Senior Jiminez and Senior Morales to
take part in the landing of the revolu-
tionists at Monte Cristi spent the great
er part of the night with the consul.
The Dominican gunboat Independence
did not enter this port yesterday in
company with the Restoration as ca
bled last night. She proceeded to Point
De Paix in order to investigate the re-
port of Jiminez's presence at that place.
Just before the revolutionary attempt
at Monte Cristi. 1t is understood that
if President Heureaux finds that Jim
inez is still there he will make an effort
to induce the authorities to deliver the
insurgent, to him on the charge Of pi-
racy.

HEALTH OF SOLDIERS.
Shouldn't Dose Themselves With Qui-
nine or Any Other Drugs.

Tampa, Fla, June 9-The Fifth army
corps is now complete. Lieut.. Col B.
F. Pope, chief surgeon of the Fifth ar
my corps, has prepared complete set
of instructions in regard to the preser-
walton of the health of the soldiers
during the camp in Cuba. The rules
have been printed and every soldier has
been furnished with copy, with in
StructiOns to study them carefully. The
rules read as follows:
The body adapts itself readily to
changes of climate. You do not re-
quire any special preparation for the
climate of Cuba. You should meet
the heat in the same way you do in the
summer season of the north. Avoid,
therefore, the use Of medicines that are
recommended to protect the body
against the action of climate. The dan
gers in the tropics do not come from
the direct action of the climate. The
danger is due to the presence in some
districts of the warm countries OF the
microbes of certain diseases. The
chief measures for the prevention of
these diseases will be instituted by your
commanding officers. There are no
medicines that will protect US from
these diseases. Do not take quinine
regularly when your health is good. Do
not take purgatives when the bowels
are regular. Drink boiled water when
you cannot get natural spring water.
Stagnant surface water is especially
dangerous. If possible, drink water
only at meal time. Avoid unripe and
unsound fruits. Peel all fruits before
eating. Use as little alcOhol beverages
as possible. The clothing should be
light and loose. When wet with sweat
or rain remove it for drying and rub
the body briskly with a wet towel I'M
til it is clean. Also, if exposed to
draughts when perspiring freely, put
on some extra covering. When your
feet are wet, rub them dry and put on
dry socks, even if you cannot change
your shoes. Protect yourself from mos
Quetoes by gloves and nets.
Battle the body every morning and
evening you can, but do not swim in
the heat of the day except in the shade.
Sleep in dry clothes only. Otherwise
keep awake and move about The
health of the command will depend in
a great extent upon the strict observ-
ance of orders not to communicate with
suspected persons or places. Report
all sickness to a medical officer at once.
An exhaustive set of instructions has
been prepared by DR.. John Guiteras,
the Philadelphia yellow fever expert,
who is to accompany the army into Gu
ba- The instructions, which are for the
use of commanding and medical officers,
give minute details as to the measures
to be taken for the prevention of yellow
fever. Although instructions as to the
use Of quinine and alcohol are given,
the uses of either except when abso-
lutely necessary are condemned.

HOW THEY GOT A DEPOT.

The story is told of a small town on
the Little River branch of the Santa Fe
and of the scheme for new depot. The
citizens of the town and the railroad
men of the line had been talking of
new depot but the company could not
be convinced that a new depot was
necessary. Something must be done.
The station agent thought or a novel
scheme The clock would not keep
time He sent it in with request for
another one. The new one would not
run within 10 second a week and back
that one went. A dozen clocks were
tried and none of them would keep
good time. An inspector was sent out
TO look at the clocks He was Toasted
and made much of by the inhabitants
of the town and he sent in his report
that the depot building was so shaky
that a clock could not possibly keep
good time as every passing train shook
the building He advised that a solid
foundation be built for the clock. That
was done and then it was recommended
that a better depot be built around the
clock That was done and the town
boosted a new depot.

WHERE ARE CARS COMING
From to Haul the Tremendous Wheat
Crop Out of Kansas.

The trainmen report that wheat
through Kansas and oklahoma never
gave such promise of an immense crop
as it does now. The harvesting has al
ready commenced in Oklahoma. From
Topeka to Dodge City the trainmen say
the wheat is the best and that there IS
more wheat in the short grass country
around Dodge City than there is in the
eastern part of the state. Already
the Santa Fe is preparing to handle
wheat and it is expected that as soon
as the movement commences that the
road will be overwhelmed with wheat
for Galveston and other points. In
view of the large crop the Santa F'e has
inaugurated a new system OF car in
specting. Formerly cars were inspect
ed at terminals and if empty would be
run into the shops for repairs.
Many cars would be sent with wheat
from western Kansas to Galveston and
there being no shops at Galveston they
would be returned and loaded and this
would be kept up so that In some cases
cars would be oat two or three years
without repairs. Men have been sent
ont from Topeka to inspect cars and all
that are not in first class condition for
grain shipments viii be ordered in for
repairs in order that every car may be
available for grain.
