The Chicago Times-Herald, that
strictly administration mouthpiece
which has done what it could to hush
| up the mismanagement of the war
department, has an account in its is
sue this morning of the arrival of
more Illinois sick soldiers at Camp
Wikoff from Santiago in n stock ship.
The statement of actual conditions
NAV be considered as mild as it is pos
sibie to make it, but it is bad enough.
1t saws: These men, who were robust
on leaving Santiago, were loaded
into the Unionist with the regi
mental horses and 90 Spanish horses.
Their stomachs were fevered and
thew fed on hard tack and quinine.
In the night the horses broke loose and
plunged about the ship. One of them
dashed in the cabin door of Lieut..
Rosenthal. The men were in peril of
their lives.
lin the battle to capture the horses
one beast leaped overheard. Three
others, including Il Spanish horse,
were trampled to death by their COM
panions. Under such conditions the
illinois men sailed from free Cuba to
Camp Wikoff and reached here weak,
depressed and discouraged. They are
hardly in condition to come forward
with the main body of the regiment
when it leaves Wednesday or Thurs
dav for Chicago"

The Two Lobes of the Brain.

In the ordinary working of the'brain
one half is more active than the other
and exercises n superiority on its neigh
Dor lobe. This lobe-in ordinary per-
sons the left, of course-is the cerebral
master. Heredity, education, or what
we will-all the combined influences,
in short, which mold human hfe-have
tended, by some process of physiological
selection, to place one lobe over the
other in point of Importance. The other
(right) lobe is the servant of the left in
a measure Its education has been neg
lected, and it requires the control of
its better cultured neighbor in order
that life may be conducted in a sensible
and sane fashion. The most hopeless
cases of insanity, Wigan would have
held, would be those in which both
hemispheres We're affected. If one was
alone ailing, the other might exert
more or less control over it, and the ex-
tent of the control would depend on
which lobe exhibited the diseased &C.
tion. All degrees of insanity or mental
arrangement could thus be accounted
for on this superstition of the relative
control of one hemisphere by the other
The perfect life is that in which the
better and higher half controls the
weaker and less responsible.-And

The Opium Cannots,

"Well, now. can you, from your ex-
tensive experience, give us your opinion
as to the state of Chinese opinion in re-
gard to the opium habit, looking at the
state of things not only among the
working classes, but also the merchants,
the Iiterati, the official classes, and also
can you tell US what you saw during
your sojourn in the interior which
would give you an opportunity of form
ing an opinion as to how the Chinese
regard this question:"
LAS regards Chinese popular opinion
in respect to the opium habit, it is de-
cidedly against it. There is common
Cantonese saying which sums up rather
appositeIy the ten cannots' with regard
TO the opium sot. 1t says, First, give
up the habit; second, enjoy sleep; third,
wait for his turn when sharing his pipe
with his friends; fourth, rise early
fifth, be cured if sick; sixth, help rela-
lions IN need; seventh, enjoy wealth;
eighth, plan anything; ninth, get cred
il, even when ap old customer; tenth,
walk any long distance. That, 1 think,
sums up the popular view of the Chi
nese with regard to the opium habit. Z"

Tanners Handy Man.

+. X Whittemore. the republic
can nominee for state treasurer. has
been known for long time as the
handy man of the Tanner machine. -
His first appearance a an active man
in state politics was in 1856. when the
present governor was elected state
treasurer lie proved himself so val
uahle that when Tanner was appoint
ed assistant treasurer of the United
States nj Chicago. in 1888 Whittemore
was given charge of that office and
conducted ii for mis- chief throughout
his administration. When Henry
Nulh was elected state treasurer in

1894 no one but Whittemore could
take charge of the office. Mr.. Wulff
seldom appearing at Springfield dur
ing his term. In 1896 when Henry
Hertz was elected state treasurer. the
Tanner machine continued Mr.. Whit
temore in his position. so that he has
practically been the state treasurer
for four wears. When the republican
convention met this year Tanner had
it by the throat He said nominate
WhittemOre and he was nominated.
Financially speaking, he is the repre-
sentative of the Tanner wing of the
republican party, and more particu-
larly of Tanner himself. Their rela-
tons have always been most intimate.
Whittemore. personally, has never
had political influence. He has simply
shown under the Tanner rejection,
and he represents in this political con-
test the extreme type of Tannerism-
If the republicans carry the elections
and keep up the high tax rate to re-
store that old So, 900. 900 surplus wont
Mr.. Whittemore make a mighty '.han-
DIV man, to be sure?

Calvin in catching base runners nap

seeing the old fellow catch the foxiest
base runners in the country asleep off
the bags with the quickest kind of a
motion. There was ono occasion when
'Gavie' played a star trick of this kind
on Johnny Ward. The Pittsburgs were
playing the New Yorks, and the score
was very close, in favor of the former
The New Yorks had two men on bases,
and Ward at the bat, with two out.
Calvin signaled to GeorgeMiller to step
to one Side of the plate and deliberately
gave four balls TO Ward. Johnny trot-

caught him mapping, big Beckley block
ing him off. 1t was put up job, and
odd 'Gavie' didn't do thing to Lawyer
Ward but laugh at him all the way TO

mans cap, for Ward at that time was
the star base runner of the League. -

Not the least notable in this direc-

Munro has always been a consis-

selection of governor was of
much less Importance to the state

of United States senator, especi-
ally when there was a possibility
that man of the commanding in
fuence and ability of Senator
Davis might be succeeded by some

came out into the open and de.
clared his allegiance, and loyalty

he at once became candidate fol

influential papers as the Morris
