AN OBSTACLE,

The United States has undertaken to improve the condition of the Cubans and the Porto Ricans. It will do it in many ways, but will it make them any happier than they have been? A writ CT in the Mexican Financier indicates one of the deep and powerful obstacles in the way of our benevolence. He has his fears whether people who are quite content with their own ways and who can enjoy idleness and even poverty, can be benefited by the proximity of people who Are never very content with anything. We hardly think, he says, that any restless person from Anglo Saxondom will be able to increase the sum total of Spanish-American con- tentment. If any serious minded per sons undertake to correct us by proving that telegraphs and telephones, type writers and roll-top desks, rapid transit and daily mails make men happier, and that Cuba, subjected to a course of modern Improvements, will be more contented, and that our ideas are fun- damentally unsound, we shall not even take the trouble to read their communi- cations. There will always be many millions of matter-of-fact people, and the world could not we'll get on without them. Sufficient unto the world is the foollshness thereof
 Sure, senor. But Cuba and Porto Rico must and shall be improved all the same, even if there is less happi- ness of a certain kind there.

C.4IEB B, BOWERS.

Although for the last few years Caleb B. Bowers, whose death occurred last evening, had lived quietly he had been during most of his long life very active in business, in politics and in all that engages the attention and attracts the zeal of wide-awake, able and efficient American citizen. He was successful in business ard successful in politics. Wherever he was he exercised large in- huence, and had at one time much to do with important affairs in New Haven and Connecticut. He was upright and high-minded. He had decided opinions and decided way of expressing them, but he was thoroughly courteous and pleasant in his dealings with his fellow men. He deserved and had the respect of those among whom he lived and worked, and although he had lately been somewhat withdrawn from active and public life there are many in New Haven who will miss the sight of his fine figure and the sound of his genial voice. Peace and rest to him.

miles from land in time for the readers of the Daily Express evening edition to know the positions of the racers at every hour during the contest. The second day was stormy and for nearly the whole of the course the yachts were invisible from land. The wonderful na- ture of wireless telegraphy was then splendidly brought out. The move ments of the yachts up to the last min ute before press time were accurately signalled to the shore, whence the Daily Express office alone in the city was able to publish the facts of the race. The greatest distance over which the wire less system was operated was again fully twelve miles. But on both the racing days the Flying auntress exper- lmented by sending messages over more than twice that space, the results being all that the fondest friends of the the ory could desire.

PROMPT IND FIRM.

1t will not be at all surprising if there is some trouble with the Cuban insurgents. They have fought long and heroically for their freedom. The United States has finally secured for them what they were not able to se- cure for themselves. They may not, however, be always and entirely reas- enable and fair in their new situation, and for awhile it may be necessary to remind them that they are not all the people of Cuba or the earth. The gov ernment at Washington is dealing with the situation promptly and firmly. Major-G General Lawton has been noti- fled that the United States is responsi- ble for peace and that he must main- tain order and protect all persons and property within his Jurisdiction, re- gardless of interference from any quar- ter. Of course ths is the right and the only thing to do and of course it will be done. Most of the leaders of the in- surgents will doubtless see the point and do all they can to help the United States. Those who do not will have more trouble than they had with the Spaniards

ence, A statement of the whole tran saetlon was in the first instance in- scribed in the financial members prl- vate books with numbers correspond- ing with names. This also is oblitera- ted in the presence of the borrower, the numbers only remaining to explain the payments made and returned.
 There are, of course, no legal means oy Which repayment can be enforced, but a deliberately false statement or refusal to repay when evidently able to do so would relieve the association from any obligation of secrecy the whole of the facts would be made known at once, and in such Q way that social ruin would be the result, The security is, therefore, fully equal to that often accepted by Jewish money lenders Although in many cases It is foreseen that the money advanced can never be repaid, it is always granted in the form of a loan. Notwithstanding this heavy drain upon the resources of the society, it's funds, l am told, have increased considerably, both from the rather high rate of interest charged for loans that can be repaid and also by the donations that are constantly re- ceived.
 Whenever financial aid is rendered at all, 1t is understood that 1t is not in- tended as momentary relief without any definite object. A practical plan is arranged by the advisers, and when the applicant promises to act in accordance with it the help is continued until he is set upon solid ground again, thus not only benefiting him, but the society also

 From the peculiar character of the Russian people, and, above all, the re- markable capacity for association, such an organization as this is able to work with a degree of success that might be difficult elsewhere. Among the higher classes in Russia there is also an esprit de corps fully as strong as that whieA among the laboring classes in England has enabled them to establish tEde- unions and friendly societies. Having no legal recognition, it is practically a secret society, and is indeed but little known outside the circles it is intended to benefit.-Spectator

THE SHARK AS A SENTINEL.

An Incident of the Civil War at Dry
 Tortugas.
 The recent ordering of troops to the Dry Tortugas, Fla, recalls curious incident in which boy prevented the escape of prisoners and performed a humanitarian act which was greatly misunderstood at the time and aroused no little comment in the press of the day.
 At the time mentioned the island of Dry Tortugas was used as a great prison, and bounty jumpers deserters and prisoners of all classes were con- fined there to the number of several thousands.
 The island is but thirteen acres in ax- tent, surrounded by wide and deep moatswhich made it almost impossible I for prisoners to escape, yet every time a vessel came into the harbor one or more men would make the attempt Obtaining ropes, they would low CT themselves into the moat from a porthole, swimacross the ditch and try to pass out the delegate, despite the fact that sentries paced up and down on eveI6 face and kept watchful vigil lance with orders to fire and call the guard. Several prisoners did escape the sharp eyes of the guards by swim-  1 ming and dodging under water when | passing the sentinel. Reaching the delegate, they would dive again, swim | to the channel, Snd. in the darkness climb aboard the steamer lying there | and conceal themselves.
 | But all were not successful Several unfortunate men dropped into the ditch | from the ropes and were found drowned the following morning. The guards were doubled and everything done to prevent the attempted escapes; not because there was any danger of the men getting away, as the trans | ports were always searched, but to pre- vent casualties.
 Just then it happened that the sur geon of the post was making study of | the large sharks whereabouts, and one day his son suggested that they put a big man-eater in the moat, where it could be watched. He said to General | Meigs, who was stationed at Fort Jef- | ferson at that time, Tt will prevent the men from swimming the moat and so be the means of saving their lives.''
 The proposition was put into immedi- ate effect The surgeons son, with the boys of another officer, went out fishing and soon captured a sherk which the surgeons twelve pared barge lowed in shore, the huge fish beating the water with its tail and at one time taking the cutwater in it's jaws and shaking it as a cat would a mouse.
 | Finally, after several hours of hard | work, and with the assistance of many men, the shark, which was at least thirteen feet in length, was hauled over l the tide-bridge, the surgeons son cut out the hook, and with swirl of it's big tail the mqster went dashing ] away.
 i The shark was dubbed the provost marshal by the prisoners, and that 1t l inspired a wholesome dread in their , minds was soon evident. But it was a perfectly harmless creature. It swan round and round, very near the brick wall. with one eye cast up, pathetical- | ly. It presented a formidable specta- l cle, moving slowly along, and no one ! dared enter the water, consequently no casualties were reported. But it was not long before an article appeared in a

WIRELESS TELEGRApHY.

It is somewhat flumiliating to have to confess that the United States is a lit- tie behind the times in the matter of telegraphing without wires, but it is. In England the Postoffice department has already sent messages ten miles in that way. In Germany, where the en- peror has been profoundly impressed with the discovery, the government has had many demonstrations of it's useful ness in the vicinity of Potsdam and at the balloon experiment station, where messages are now sent between captive tairships in connection with the trials for war manoeuvres. And an Irish newspaper has outdone in enterprise even the journals of this country that have been carrying on the war by means of their special telegraph wires. The Dublin Express took notion that it would have the annual regatta of the St. George Yacht club reported by the new system of signals. The regatta was held off Kingston. A little steam boat called the Flying Huntress was equipped with transmitting appara- tus. On the Kingston shore the receiv- CT was set up. The first days race was reported from points often a dozen

or cut-out lace may be appliqued with narrow jet beads, the last mentioned being the ornamentetion employed in this particular model.
 Women of all ages are again to wear bags at their sides in which to put pocketbook and handkerchief. This goes with the new notion for clinging skirts, and the side bag will often be as much a part of the scheme of the gown as Marguerite's bag is, First class jewellers are showing fiat bags topped with silver, gold and beautiful etruscan work. Flat silk knit bags made handsome by the introduction of brilliant crystal beads are set on gold or silver tops often inlaid with jewels to match the beading. A few beauti- ful examples are of knit twisted silk on which is woven in jeweled thread the coat of arms. All these are very expensive, but their appearance means that the fashion is regarded as one likely to take hold, and the bag of the same pattern much less elaborate and expensive will be just as much in the fashion as the most beautiful exam ples of jewellers ingenuity.
 Little paper fans of Empire pattern are so pretty that the 1Hrt that they can be bought for few cents does not interfere with their present suitability Some of them are brightened by dots of enamel that take on the brilliancy of jewels, and many of them are point ed with spangles. The painting is a pretty and inoffensive imitation of the Empire designs, for these fans pretend only to be fashioned after the real thing and should be carried only with simple dresses.

At recent conference of engineers held at Edinburgh, Donald Cameron, city surveyor of Exeter, described the sewage-treatment plant of that city, and made the announcement that In the course of the process used 1t was pos sible to secure energy in the form of il- lunlinating gas. The experiment had been tried at the city works, and sufIi- cient marsh gas was produced to light ten lamps, a number sufficient to dem- onstrate the feasibility of the method and which with suitable precautions could have readily been doubled While it has been possible for some time to treat sewage economically and obtain materials suitable for fertilizers, it is believed that this is the first attempt to derive energy directly from such material, and if it is possible to obtain the gas in considerable quantities the effect will be to still further cut down the cost of sewage disposal.
