Evans Pitched a Remarkable Game
For the Home Team.
EASTERN LEAGUE STANDING,

The Springfield Ponies had narrow
escape from a whitewash ut the hands
OF the Grays at Adelaide Park yester-
day afternoon. Evans was or the slab
for the home team. and his pitching
was about as good as any ever done on
that diamond. In the entire nine IN
nings the visitors secured only two
hits one, OF these being a grounder
from Hills bat, which failed to go OUT
side the diamond, but which was too
close to the third base line to allow
Evans TO get 1t to first ahead Of the
runner. The other was a fly OF the
Texas League variety which little
Gleason dropped into short right field
in the second inning.
After Hill had retired Lynch I'm the
opening round. Walters drew "a base on
balls and Cassidy followed with a
double. Canavan q single and Murray
a double. This netted two runs before
the side was retired Oanavan being
rim down between third and home in
trying to score on Crishams drive TO
Reilly, and Stouch forcing Murray mt
third.
In the second inning, after two were
out. Lynch singled, went to third on
wild pitch and scored when Reilly made
u bad throw to the plate. Nichols hav-
ing sent the ball to second TO head OF
Walters. who had I'm the meantime
drawn another base on balls.
The visitors scored their only run in
the second inning. Harrington getting
a pass. stealing second and going 10
third on Callopy's fly TO Lynch. Glea-
son then singled and sent the run 10
the plate. After that Nichols was twice
hit by pitched ball. and ne was the
only man TO reach first for the
Ponies.
The home team collected another
bunch of two In the fifth on errors by
Friel and Callopy, two steals by Lynch
and putout. Walters was at his old
trick in the seventh. getting another
pass and reaching second on Cassidy's
single. Canavah advanced them both
by a nice bunt. and Murray sent them
home with line drive to left field. In
the last inning another free one TO Wal
ters. with Cassidy's double and Cana
vans single. sent two more runs in and
ended the scoring. Today at $3.50 the
teams will again meet. The score:

An American who has frequently visited
Cuba says the cheapest ard best drink in
the island, and the best he has ever found
in the tropics, is Santiago rum and fresh
cocoanut milk. Santiago rum" says this
authority, costs about a third as much as
cheap whisky, and is exceedingly smooth.
The cocoanut milk, when fresh, is almost
as colorless as water, and when a little rum
is added to it the combination beats a gin
hickey, even though it may not be cooled by
ice" Perhaps the future rulers of Cuba will
kindly supply this country with Santiago
rum but the difficulty of procuring fresh
cocoanut milk will always make this ideal
beverage high-priced

The commissioner of internal revenue has
decided that a draft or order for money,
drawn by any person or firm upon any 9TH
er person or firm requires 2-cent stamp
to be affixed by the drawer, and if the
drawee accepts it he must affix another
stamp. The theory of this decision is that
in accepting and ordering the bank to pay
the draft the person on whom it is drawn
virtually makes it new instrument. The
ruling seems to be technically correct, as
the acceptance of a draft and order for it's
payment constitutes new contract.

A REVIEW AND A QUESTION.

One of the first questions which con-
fronted President Mckinley when he came
into office was the unsatisfactory condition
of affairs in Cuba. Unlike Mr.. Cleveland,
Major Mckinley declared policy at an
early day, which was to give the Spanish
government, under change of administra-
ton in Cuba, an opportunity to end the
revolution by giving the Cubans local self
government. 1t was intimated, at the same
time, that if this were not done within a
reasonable period the United States would
interfere. The Bryan party was looking
for an issue. and the position of the Presi
dent afforded it. The leaders could not wait,
but at once resolutions recognizing the in
surgents as belligerents and recognizing the
Republic of Cuba were pushed upon the
attention of Congress and the country. In
season and out of season these resolutions
were urged, the President was assailed. the
sufferings of the Cubans were presented, the
patriotism and valor of the insurgents were
painted in glaring colors, and Spanish rule
was denounced. A resolution recognizing
the insurgents as beliigerents was passed by
the Senate, but the Republicans in the
House declined TO act Threats and de-
nunciation did not avail; the Republicans in
the House stood by the President. The yell
low newspapers came into the contest. their
Cuban correspondents, sitting in the editorial
rooms in New York. made demigods of the
Cuban insurgents. Many well-meaning
newspapers the country over were led to
repeat the fasehoods of the yellow papers
until the people of the country. regardless
of party, were demanding the recognition
of the Republic of Cuba. The Bryan lead
ers saw in the situation new issue which
would enable them to drag 10 to out of the
mire Blatant demagogues like Allen, Can
non. Pettigrew, Teller and Turpie daily
charged that the President was under the
control of Wall street. which was In league
With Spain. In the House Bailey, De Ar
mond, Champ Clark and Lewis broke into
the debates over appropriation bills with
Cuban panegyrics and denunciations of the
cowardice and duplicity of those Influenced
by the dealers in Cuban bonds.
At last the hour came to act. After a
short debate the Republicans In the House.

DENTAL SURGERY IN THE ARMY.
An Urgent Plea for the Employment
of Dentists by the Government.
Leslie's Weekly.


Our government surrounds her enlisted
men with comfortable sanitary quarters,
supplies them with good wholesome food.
and enforces physical exercise for the proper
maintenance of good health. During illness
the hospital facilities are of the best, and
only skilled surgeons and thoroughly
trained assistants are employed The latest
improved surgical instruments and the best
medicinal agents are used regardless of
cost All portions of the human organism
are guarded with care, excepting one of the
part of the physique is of more importance
than the teeth? And if they be extracted or
diseased the whole system suffers. and per-
We have neglected the blessings of dental
science. Statistics show that 80 per cent.
of the people of this country need dental
attention. while only 20 per cent receive the
same. DR.. Otto Arnold forcibly remarked.
while speaking on that subject to the Ohio
State Dental Society:
I'm our army there is great susceptibility
to the insidiOus process of dental carries,
which is no respecter of persons, and has
no limit: for other diseases may come and
go. but dental carries. when once begun, like
the brook goes on forever"
In many instances persons suffering with
dental disturbances are totally incompetent
for the performance of their regular duties.
When dental carries reaches a certain stage,
and if the skilled knowledge of the dentist
IS not employed, the extraction of the Of
Tending tooth is necessary. which results in
lmpairing the utility of the antagonizing
TOOTH causing the adjoining teeth to lean
toward the space from which the tooth was
extracted, due to the stress of mastcation.
inJurlng articulation and making mastica-
ton more difficult TIE loss of several teeth
will so impair mastication that constitu-
tional disturbances will often result.
Proper dental attention would decrease the
retired list and many valuable men would
be retained in the service who are now dis
qualified diagnosed as dyspeptics, because
suffering from indigestion traceable to lack
OF proper masticating facilities. Assimila-
ton is imperfect unless there is proper mas
tication of the foods, and where there is
mal-assimilation the susceptibility to con-
tagious diseases-diarrhea, dysentery, etc:
is exceedingly great and the effects of
fatigue are more rapid and lasting.
The dental surgeon would be of invaluable
benefit to the general surgeon in cases of
gunshot wounds or other injuries to the
mouth or face The dental surgeon would
be of valuable assistance on the examining
board in preventing the enlistment of men
with defective teeth An almost accurate
means of identification would be available
from the charts kept by the dental surgeon.
We have in the army veterinary surgeons,
but is the care of the horse of more impor-
tance than the proper care of the men. and
do they have proper care If dental surgery
is lacking?

these days the country was told what noble
men the Cubans are and how well qualified
they are to establish an ideal government.
War was declared. but from that time
little heard of the armies of insurgents
which we were told would, when furnished
arms and rations, drive the Spanish out of
Cuba with very little assistance. Finally
when the expedition was about to sail to
Santiago General Garcia with a small
force was reported to be waiting its ar
rival. The United States officers and troops
had been led to believe the current reports
prepared by agents of the Junto and sensa-
tional correspondents setting forth the in
telligence and the valor of the Cuban SOL
diers. The sentiment was. all in their favor.
Officers, men and correspondents gave them
chance to demonstrate their valor and
vindicate their ability to set up govern
ment in Cuba After three weeks, officers,
men and correspondents are agreed upon
one thing, namely that the Cuban soldier
Is worthless. He will not fight, he will not
work, and generally he is a vagabond. He
has proclaimed his capacity for establishing
an ideal popular government by insisting
upon looting the town of Santiago
The foregoing is a brief resume of the eff
fort put forth to commit the United States
to war to establish the so-called Republic
of Cuba. Now that we have seen how in
capable of any good service the Cuban in
surgent is, all men of candor must admit
that the wisdom and the courage of Presi-
dent Mckinley. Senators Davis, Allison,
Hoar and Fairbanks, and Representatives
Reed, Hit, Dingley. Henderson and Cannon
saved the country from a terrible blunder.
They must admit that, with a few notable
exceptions. the Democrats in Congress
blindly did their utmost to commit the
country to policy which would have made
it impossible to have established stable
government in Cuba.
These Democrats and Populists who de-
manded the recognition of the Republic of
Cuba day after day should have seen as
quickly as did the Republicans that the
ignorance and vindictiveness of the Cuban
insurgents disqualify them for the estab-
lshment of a good government. Either be-
cause they could not or would not see the
Cubans as they are, they pursued a reckless
course.
The country has just entered upon new
and unexpected field incident to the war
pired in the past six months, which party
has displayed the better judgment and fit
ness for the new duties?

GOLD SEEKERS WARNED.
Fraud Practiced by Certain Alaskan
Transportation Companies.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-ln report to
the State Department United States Consul
Dudley, at Vancouver, b. c., says that care
should be taken by those who contemplate
going to the gold fields in entering into
transportation contracts. Certain companies
have obtained considerable sum of money
generally $500 for each person., upon very
lngenlously worded contracts, that the per-
sons paying should be transported to the
gold fields in the north, with all necessary
OUTFIT furnished and expenses paid. In sew
eral cases transportation had been bought
to Vancouver and other ports and then
abandoned The men who had contracted
with one of these companies became suspi-
clous while at Vancouver but after an ex-
forward. r
The consul says he has received a. letter
from one of the party now at Fort Wran-
gell. Alaska, saying that the company in
uuced his party to go to Wrangel and
AFTER pulling the provisions up the Stickeen
Tor four miles, sent them in camp, where
they have remained ever since When asked
TO be put ahead they were put off with

pany does not intend to do anything The
ard without money. 1t consists of thirty
men from the Old Bay State. The consul
suggests that persons desiring to go to the
gold fields of the valley of the Yukon take
every possible precaution He says he has
abundant evidence that several companies

gagged in the nefarious traffic referred TO.

notable feature of the reports from
Santiago and even from the camps in this
country where typhoid and malarial fevers
have broken out is that, generally speak
ing. these diseases are running very mild
in form. This seems to be q characteristic
of our army life under present conditions
of medical attention Even outbreaks of the
measles have been reported as light" The
health officers of the government believe
this is due, particularly with the yellow
fever, to the promptness with which the dis
ease is diagnosed and the patient put under
proper medical attendance. In the sparsely
settled regions of the South. when an cpl
demic has broken out, there has been great
delay in getting it located. and even in the
towns local pride and business conSidera-
lions have sometimes prevented prompt re-
ports. In the army this is different and to
it is attributed largely the fact that the 800
cases reported at Santiago seem to be at
tended with so few fatalities.
