The whole business is a round robin
OF accusation. The public hope is that
these men will keep on talking until
Alger feels compelled TO court-martial
Miles or somebody else who is high In
rank and thus get the Santiago story
into a form that will base every asser-
ton on the testimony Of the war-depart-
ment's records. Alger appears to be
afraid 20 do that.

A Southern Girl.

~OR one reason or another, Miss
Winnie Davis ranks as, perhaps,
the b~est-known mong the
American women Of southern birth.
The child Of jefferson Davis, her pic
turesque distinction is that she IL
known as the daughter OF the confed-
eracy." The people who write personal
paragraphs and social talk for the press
keep his lady, who Is not now as young
as she used to be. constantly before
the public.
The fact that Miss Davis IS, or lately
had been. seriously IN, has been men
toned I'm all the newspapers. h story
Of the lady's marriage engagement has
also found repetition recently; in too
many instances this story has been re-
tailed in violent disregard Of the facts.
The truth is that. n little more thar
ten years ago, Miss Davis was the guest
Of friends in Syracuse, N. y. These
friends were people who had figured In
congressional circles at Washington.
/ During this visit. Miss Davis became a
social favorite and those who met her
admired her. one Of the sequels was the
announcement of her engagement to
Mr.. Fred Wilkinson.
The unique feature NJ the case was
that Wilkinson was the grandson Of
Samuel J. May. a Unitarian clergyman
who. with Phillips. Garrison and others,
ranked among the conspicuously prom
inent abolitionists Of ante-bellum days,
However admirable the engagement
was I'm a social way, II may be that'the
friends Of Miss Davis persuaded her
that It was a political misit and, pos
sibly. an inEratitude toward her father
and his lost cause. At any rate, the
engagement was broken, gossip said
that Miss Davis broke It, and the So
ciety Journals wore the incident out ir
their g~arrulous discussion Of II. Mis-
Davis was left fancy free-and she ap'
pears never to have particularly fancieC
any other sutton.

MI month Of August in the city Of
Butte make a showing so sur
prising that IL merits more than the
mere printing Of the figures. These hg-
ures show that the total of deaths IN
Butte during August was eighty-four.
OF the Head forty-eight were males
thirty-six were females.
This is an ominously bad showing,
especially at a time when all the condi-
tons In Butte. relative to health, were
supposed 10 be normal. The city suf-
fared no visitation OF any form of pest-
lence or Of contagious disease-in the
latter class there were only three cases
two Of diphtheria and one Of scarlet
fever. and the quarantine in these cases
was thorough. The record Is the high
est ever entered for Butte. except In
the month OF the powder explosion; II
rs higher even than for either OF the
memorable winter months, a few years
ago. when. as the result Of a fearful
smoke plague, the ravages Of pneumo-
MIA were considered something fearful
In comparison with other cities, Butte
makes n lbt bihhlAE FANNAAHf
Portland, oregon, for instance. It's
deaths in August were sixty-four. They
we're ffty-nine in July and forty-nine IN
June. In the city directory for the cur
rent year, the population Of Portland is
placed. In round numbers, at $4,000. The
directory issued a few weeks g places
Butte's population. In round numbers
at 5000. Thus the annual death rate
taking last month as a basis, would be,
in Butte, about twenty in a thousand
while for Portland it is about eight.
Fol- Chicago the figures were, for Aug
ust. at the annual ratio Of about thir-
teen per thousand.
The showing for Butte Is made the
more mysterious by reason of the fact
that the deaths were. In very large per
centage. among infants. OF those who
died, forty-four were children, the ave
rage age being about six months. Thai
is not a normal proportion. As reported
in yesterday mornings Standard
Health Officer Schultz was asked
whether the difficulty might lie In tn
water or in the supply Of milk sold fol
the use Of infants. The doctors reply
was that he had made no especial In
auiries on that score but that the SAM
tary officers had made the usual I'm
spection.
There's something wrong somewhere
The temperature in Butte was, perhaps
above the average last month, blu
when account IL taken Of the unusua
run Of raging heat all through the East
last month. It Is not essy to belieV
that the temperature had so much NOR
deadly effect in Butte than, for In
stance in Chicago.
BY all the natural and physical con
d.tions. Butte certainly ought TO sho'
a very low death rate. It's sanitary ap
plisnces are not the best. by any meant
but they are a marked improvement o
the conditions that prevailed a fe'
years ago. Notoriously, Butte is al

been in all respects the most
successful meeting I'm the history OF the
Montana turf; It's distinction Is that In
its total Of business It surpasses the
record made this year in Butte. II was
suspected at FIRST that the exclusion Of
harness races from the Anaconda track
might work in a damaging way respect
ing attendance and receipts. The result
shows. however. that this suspicion was
not we'll founded; as far as the quality
OF the meeting Is concerned. this ex-
clusion has resulted in a better average
OF running races than had hitherto been
possible. For the two remaining days
excellent programmes have been ar
ranged: indeed, It Is proposed TO make
the closing day the most attractive Of
the season and thus bring the meeting
