Hot Springs is in South Dakota.
This fact is sufficient to condemn it's
climate in the minds of those who can
only associate the name d. h)ia with
extreme heat in summer and extreme
cold in winter. Now the fact is that
but very few people who have not per-
sonally experienced the climate of Da-
kota, can do it justice, but he who con
founds the climate of the Black Hills
with that of Dakota in general, lacks
that specific information which only
should be the basis of Judgment upon
the climate of any place. Likewise he
who confounds the climate of Hot
Springs with that Of the Black Hills
region in general. depending upon the
statistics of the weather service accu-
mnlated at Deadwood, where the SER
vice was located for many years, and
contained in the Denison Charts and
other works on climatology, will obtain
but a crude idea of the real conditions
OF climato which prevail at Hot Springs.
/ was skeptical myself regarding the
marked difference which was claimed
by the inhabitants of the place, and
felt that l could only give such testi-
mony for what it was worth, but fortu-
nately l obtained access to a private
diary in which all the important fea-
lures of the weather have been!regular-
ly and Systematically kept for a period
of eight years. These records have but
two theometric observations IL day,
about sunrise and sunset, so that a
"a mean as generally understood can
not be obtained, but the data given
does establish beyond a doubt that the
conditions at Hot Springs are eNcep-
tional, as compared to the Black Hills
country in general. This also estab-
fishes the fact that as a winter climate
Hot Springs corresponds moro closely
with that of the same altitude and lat
itude hundreds of miles furthar south,
minus the d~isagreeable winds which
there prevail, and which are here con-
spicuons from their absence.

New jersey Believes In Agitating the

Roads Drive People to the Cities.
New Jersey is famous throughout the
country for it's good roads. 1t is almost
equally famous for the enthusiasm of
its farmers over them. They have found
that they pay. State aid to building
such roads, state organization and a per-
petual preaching of the gospel of good
roads have brought it all about. The
commissioner of public roads believes in
agitation. He keeps at it all the time.
Here are few of the arguments he
uses, taken from his fourth annual re-
port:

wheat from Chicago to New York, q
distance of 900 miles. It costs cents q

III Havana.

1t Is Wcyler, still and always Wey>
lar, who is responsible for the rioting at
Havana. The moss significant fact con-
nected with it is that the mobs were
actually headed by regular officers of
the Spanish army. Among tories and old
fogies in every place are to be found the
men who have amassed wealth. Their
possessions have made them timid, re-
dictionary. Accordingly it is not strange
that the inhabitan IS Of Havana who adj
hered most firmly to the loyalist cause
have been the WEALTHY merchants. These
have outtoried even the Conservative
party in Spain. They were the most de-
termined upholders Of Weyler's tyran-
nical and cruel course.
When, therefore, autonomy was pro-
posed By the liberal cabinet Of Spain,
the adherents OF Weyler in Havana op-
posed it bitterly. Weyler, though in
Spain, prompted their actions still. The
wealthy tories Of Havana would see
their island sunk into the sea before
they would accept even such autonomy
as the Spanish government offered. The
next step was to resist autonomy by
force. Most prominent among the rioters
next to officers and soldiers of the Span
ish army were rich merchants. These,
Spanish officers and soldiers and rich
Havana tories, were the ones who turned
against their own queen and govern
ment and mobbed their fellow towns.
men who favored General Blanco' s
course. It is the sure beginning of the

ROSECRANS' END PEACEFUL.

California Home.

Death of the Noted Old Warrior at His
California Home.
Los ANGELES, Cal., March lathe
death of General Rosecrans, the noted
old warrior, which occurred at his
ranch home near this city, was peace
full in the extreme. For several days
he has been between life and death, at
times unconscious, and again in CON-
atose state. His splendid vitality has
kept him alive for days. When it was
known that the end was near, all the
watchers at the bedside were ready at
any time to see the last. At the
bedside when the end came were
a son and daughter Of the general
Carl and Anna Rosecrans, and num-
Der of intimate friends.
General Rosecrans was stricken with
no particular disease, and the end came
through gradual weakening of the
system. The place where he died is
called Rosecrans, in honor of him, and
is near station on the Rendondo rail-
way, and about 10 miles from this city.
The general had made his home there
on a large ranch.
General Rosecrans was possessed of
a fine property and his last days were
spent in peace and plenty.

Facts For Farmers.

The supervisor Of roads in the state OF
New York officially assures the farmers
that it costs them half as much to haul
their produce three miles by wagon as
they pay the railroads to haul it 500
milos- With q system of good macadam
roads, he says, the cost of the short haul
could oe reduced so per cent, thus re-
duoing the whole cost of transporta-
ton from the farm to the consumer by
one-sixth. It is only needful to get
these facts and figures firmly planted in
tho agricultural mind to insure an &C.

Curfew Ordinance.

The Boys and Girls National Home
and Employment association was organ
ICED in 1890. It's chief object was to
find ways to stop the alarming increase
of crime among children and youths. In
1894 the organization recommended as
an experiment the passing in cities of
the so called curfew ordinance. It re-
quired that children under Is, unless
they had a permit or were accompanied
by their parents or guardians, should not
be out upon the street after 9 o'clock in
summer or o'clock in winter.
Western cities took up the matter and
began enacting the ordinance one after
another, until in the three years elaps-
ing since the movement commenced 800
have it on their munici 81 statute books.
Among them are sutA Urge places as
Omaha, Denver, Topeka, Kansas City
end St. Joseph, No.
It is to be noted that the results Of
the enactment, SO far as reported, are
invariably good. There has been no
trouble enforcing the law. Children
quietly 60 to their homes at the required
hour without any admonishment. May.
or Graham of Lincoln, Neb., says that
in the first month after the passage Of
the ordinance arrests Of youths decreas-
ed IS per cent. In St. Joseph COM
mitments to the reform school have di-
unfinished one half. Since the ordinance
was passed in North Platte, Neb., there
has been not one commitment to the re-
form school. In Lincoln teachers report
that their bad boys have become much
more quiet and orderly in school since
they have been taken out of that school

"The Chinese question is much more

the Cuban, but America has no naval
base in Chinese waters. Why should
not Spain make peace by Offering the
United States naval station in the
Philippines? Spain would lose nothing
thereby. On the contrary, the United

that base in conjunction with England
