Dollar Lodged I'm Her Tbront

New York, Sept. 5.-Julia KesseI, twelve
years old, of No. 95 Vermont Street
Brooklyn. was given a silver dollar by
her parents yesterday morning and sent
to make some purchases. While on her
way to the store, in Fulton Street, near
Euclid Avenue. she placed the dollar in
her mouth Suddenly a dog rushed up
and barked at her. She became frighten-
ed and swallowed the coin. With the sill
dollar lodged in her throat, the child
rushed to the drug store at the corner of
Fulton and Crescent Streets, two blocks
away, where she fell writhing to the floor
in agony. At first the girl failed to make
known her trouble. but pointed toward
her mouth Finally she gasped that she
had swallowed a silver dollar. Policeman
Drummer Immediately telephened to st.
Mary's Hospital for an ambulance, while
Max Auerbach the drug clerk, admins
tered an emitic. Almost at the same in
slant DIR. John Kepke. of No. 1856 Airing
ton Avenue. walked into the store and
found the coin lodged in the child's
larynx. Just as the doctor was about
to procure a pair of forceps the child
was seized with a violent fit of coughing
and expelled the coin.

The Spanish Comm enf.

The Spanish general, Pando. seems
to be an able liar. but all his observa-
tions are not equally inaccurate and
silly. For example. when he says
there is no such thing in the United
States as corps sanitaire; that the
generals do not know how to care for
camp" he touches a raw spot that
makes us squirm.
His discovery of the fact does not
mean that the Spaniards are better
instructed. although they have been in
the military business from generation
to generation, but only that the results
of ignorance or carelessness are appar-
ent in the hospital records of our
camps and in the wasted appearance
of our soldiers. 1t is exasperating that
one of the Spanish race should be able
to point to the cruelty of our own
treatment of soldiers.
The fault that we have is not beyond
remedy. Ii is easily cured. The dead
cannot be restored to life-there are
published the names of more than
twelve hundred dead soldiers who were
never hit by lead-and the wrecked
cannot all be brought back to their for
mer health, but the defect can be cor
rected. A thorough and impartial in
vestigation. clear of politics, would re-
veal the sources of our one weakness
which caused more deaths than bullets
and enable us to escape a repetition of
the evil.
When the first report of incompe-
tency or criminal carelessness was re-
ceived the Government was told that
unless an inquiry was made and the
guilty punished the offense would
continue and would spread. There
was no inquiry, and it did continue
and ii did spread.

The modern war correspondent does
cessors. In the Crimea. in the Franco
German war and in our own civil war. he
did not get himself shot for his curiosity
about the details of battle. His re-
ports were made up through visit to
headquarters after an engagement. The
wounding of several newspaper represen-
tatives In Cuba and the death and
wounding of three or four in the latest
battle of the Nile, proves a change of
methods that is serious for the corre-
spondents while important to the public.
The reports of battles in the newspapers

Artisans From Santiago Sleeping "a
n Wharf.

New Orleans, Sept. 5.-The fifty skilled
artisans from New York who were en-
listed by the Government and taken TO
Santiago to do carpentering consrruC tinn,
and who were brought here on board the
transport Whitney, have slept on the
Morgan wharf three nights The men
are penniless and there is some hitch
about the Government providing them
transportation TO New York, which WAS
the understanding. they say. when they
sailed from Santiago to New Orleans. in
stead of being sent TO New York direct.
| Col. Scully. the assistant quartermaster
general. refuses the men transportation
on the ground that they cannot show
the necessary credentials.
The Government rations which are
served them consist OF such articles as
require cooking. and the men are alb
solutely helpless with such food. They
sold the raw meat and flour yesterday
TO some laborers and procured some hot
coffee. the first they have had since they
arrived. They are very indignant at their
treatment and say they have been tricked
by somebody.

The Loving .Cun.

(from the Chicago Times,Herald.)
Few people when drinking from a loving cup
which is now again the vogue-reaize its sig.
niticance. The loving cup originated as a matter
of precaution in ancient times when apparent
friends had an unpleasant method OF killing a
friend who was rival while he was drinking.
Consequently, immense heavy cup was made
with massive cover. The method of using it
can still be witnessed at banquets at the Man
sion House in London. The person receiving il
stands and turns to his neighbor who also rises
and takes the in both hands. The first per-
then raises the heavy cup to his lips with bot,
hands, and having slipped of the contents holds
it while the friend at his side replaces the
cover and takes the cup, repeating the process
in turn with his next neighbor Thus. both hands
being occupied there is no possibility of one
''friend stabbing another. In our time the Gus
tom has degenerated, and the cover as a rule has
disapyneared.

less, through the inefficiency or care
iessness of somebody. 1t is believed
and charged that they did. 1t is the
opinion of nearly all the American peo-
pie and OF the army-which is unable
TO complain as it would like in fear of
being charged with a lack of manli
ness-that an investigation would
show rank incompetency and cruel
neglect on the part OF officials whose
business it was to prevent unnecessary
suffering.
Gus victory only magnifies the serious
ness of the defects that cut the soldiers
down after their triumph.
