For these reasons, and in this manner, Doctor

Lungs. This treatment is not new in the true
sense of the world, but in the past two years the
treatment of Deafness has far oyershadoved

Cowden has seen fit TO bring into prominence his
treatment of Lung Disease. To do this he takes
upon himself all the responsibility of expense,
and every man, woman and child in the city is
cordially invited to call at his Office for free
examination and treatment.

ExcuIsit m to River View,

The excursion of the Lone Star Social
and Benevolent Club to River View Sun
day was one of the most enjoyable excur-
sions the club has ever given, though it
was the twentieth annual outing of the
society. The trips to RiveS View were
made on the steamer Pentz and during
the day about 1.500 of the friends of the
club and its members made the trip and
spent pleasant afternoon. The COM
mittee in charge of the affair. under the
chairmanship of Mr.. Louis Krey. made
every effort to give their guests a good
time, and their efforts were crowned with
complete success. At River View there
was plenty of good music by the View
band and orchestra. Several interesting
bowling contests took place. Next Sun
day the well-known Germania Manner
chor will give its excursion to the View
and will open the susal series of German n
days at that resort.

HAVANA, Jan. 19.--(Special Cores
pondence to The Herald.) To be scared
for a week! To be frightened out Of
your senses! To be startled out OF your
house and home! That Is what the resi-
dents of Havana have had to live under
the past week.
1t Is only seven days since the riot in
Havana. Only a week since the Span
ish officers charged on the newspaper
offices and afterward upon every Ameri-
can citizen seen or found in the streets.
But in that week Americans have suf-
fered torture. The Irish boycott was
nothing to it, the Scottish ban was
pleasant compared to it. Only the
siege of Paris, as described by Minister
Washburn, compares to it. We are in
IA state of siege, not only of food, but
OF everything comfortable.
If we walk out we are startled by
fierce looks; if we stay in the house we
are In dread of assassins, for our very
servants eye us with scows. If we
sleep it is with the distant cannon ring
ing in our ears. Only the American le-
CATION is safe; and though General Lee
does all he can for us he, too, is troubled,
and the legation cannot hold all.
The riot was nothing unexpected. For
month, since the Spanish autonomy
rule came into operation, we have been
looking for it. Autonomy was unpopu-
larly met in the states.
The news that the Maine and the
Marblehead would be sent down from
Key West was heard with delight by
us, but with anger by the Spanards.
Their warships fill the bahama chan
mel. and they want no others there. At

residents of Cuba to request the queen
to send one of the Flying Squadron
over here, for though, in case of war,
Great Britain would be necessarily neu-
trail, yet the presence of the British flag
floating from any warship would be
vastly more comforting than the ever
lasting Spanish emblem that greets
our eyes everywhere.
Why does not congress act? Why
does the president hold back? These
are the questions that are Whispered
every hour by the Americans of Havana
Yes, and whispered with dread, for the
minute the hand of the United States

of war, every Spanish officer would
issue forth, armed with a machete to
wreak vengeance upon every American

Correct Speech in Schools

1t would seem that one of the chief
cares of schools and colleges would be
that students should learn to speak COR
rectly. The mental drill that accom-
panies the study Of language is inval-
liable. OF course, it is easy to say that
there are many things in life more i'm
portant than correct speaking. This Is
true, but as a nation we are old enough
to have acquired not merely the es-
sentials, but some of the graces as well.
In other words. it is time we were adding

culture. And one of the most indis-
