FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.
Enployes Of Soldiers Home at Grand Island
Bled by the Gang.

Employees Of Soldiers Home at Grand Island
Bled by the Gang.
The following appeared in dailies OF
Tuesday Of last week, and is q pretty
fair sample Of the way things are being
conducted by the fusion forces these
times. The Baker mentioned was q for
mer resident of this city:
Az a result OF the imposing Of an
assessment OF 8 per cent on employees Of
state institutions two employees OF the
Soldiers home in Grand Island have left
the service of the home. Edward Baker
and son, day and night engineer. res
pectively, have been in the service of the
home for several years. About month
ago C0mmandant Wilson drew Mr..
Baker aside and told him about the
assessment OF employees of the institu-
ton, stating that it was expected that q
per cent of the yearly salary would be
paid by the employees for the p0p0cratic
campaign fund. Mr.. Baker states that
Mr.. Wilson told him he would not be
discharged If he did not pay it, but
stated that it had to be paid and il he,
the commandant, did not pay his he
would certainly expect to hear from the
powers that be at Lincoln. One-half the
amount was taken out OF the pay given
to Mr.. Baker and son for September.
This payment, says Mr.. Baker, was made
about the LIST OF the present month. Mr..
Baker and son have receipts for S7.2O
each, this being one-half the amount
they were to contribute, the other half
IN ho mid novt month Roth on0inoorc
received $3.50 per year, per cent being
$144A A significant feature is the fact
that the receipts are dated September q,
before the money was received by the
employees, and demonstrated quite con-
clusively that no quibbling on the part
of the employees was expected. The
receipts are signed by J. N. Gafin, chair
man, and state that the amount named
was received for the campaign fund.
IF Commandant Wilson did not dis
charge yOu," was asked, "why have you
left the service of the home. Mr.. Baker?"
because the commandant would not
furnish the help We needed" was Mr..
Bakers reply. I'VE have been needing
an extra man for about month and he
would not furnish him. think it was
scheme to get us ont, for We couldn't do
the work."
"YOu and your son did the work alone,
one being day and the other night engi-
neer?"
"Yee. sir"
"Do you know whether they have that
extra man at the home now?"
"Yes, sir: understand they have four
men now for our work."

PROCLAMATION BY MAS0

President of Provisional Coun-
Gil Gives Advice to Cubans.

While Making Every Expression Of Grat-
itude to Amsric. For Giving Freedom.
Must Mako Arrangements For Paying
or Cuban Soldiers and Getting In
Working Order.
SANTIAGO, Nov. /. Senior Bartolome
1aso. president of the Cuban provis-
tonal administrative council, has issued
IN address to the delegates now in at.
tendance at the military assembly at
Santa Cruz del Sur, in which he reviews
the considerations upon which the Gu
bans solicited the help Of the United
States and indicates their wisest future
policy.
The address in part is as follows:
1.-THE Cubans accepted the assistance of
America, although not knowing exactly
what were the American aims, just a.
they would have accepted help from
any country in their fight against
Spain. As the contest PROGRESSED the
Cubans in the field were gratified to
hear of solemn declaration by the United
States congress regarding thd intentions
Of the American government and the
path it would follow in the Spanish
American war. The Americans came
to our help to compel Spain to relin-
quish her sovereignty over Cuba in
order that the Cubans themselves might
be placed as promptly as possible in
possession Of the island, might assume
the administration of its affairs and
have q government of their own.
Therefore tha Cubans agreed to CO.
operate with the Americans, to obey
orders of American generals, and help
in all possible ways to establish . Gu.
ban government when the Americans
took possession. Though Americs did
not recognize the government OF the
Cubans it was well understood that the
Cubans would not on that account
abandon their organization but that, on
the contrary, the time would come
when such recognition would be
granted. Indeed it was asserted to oc-
Cuban representatives BY one Of the
most distinguished members Of the
United States government and also by
the members Of the United States sem
ate, that in order to do away with any
obstacle that might hinder the United
States to 60 into the fight for the canse
Of Cuban independence, recognition Of
. Cuban government must come later.
Nevertheless it has not been posi-
bic to establish direct relations between
the Cuban and American governments
for the transaction Of the public busi-
ness. But we have now reached . time
when, even more than in the days OF
fighting. it is incumbent upon all Gu
bans to show true patriotism and while
making every expression Of gratitude to
Americs for having given Cuba freedom
and independence to make prompt ~.
sangsments for paying OF the Cuhans
now in arms and for getting the coun-
hy into working &dsr."

Important Points In Use of Toothbrush
THAI Are Often Neglected.

Important Points In Use of Toothbrush
Thar Are Often Neglected.
It is but little thing, says the hos
pital, yet on its proper use depends
much of the happiness of modern man
Why civilized teeth should be SO rotten
is question which has often been de-
bated, and probably the true answer is
more complex than some would think.
Many good mothers are content to put
all toothache down to lollipops, but
that sugar in itself is not responsible
for bad teeth is proved by the splendid
"ivories'' often possessed by negroes,
who practically live upon the sugar
cane and thrive upon it, too, during the
whole of the season when it is in ma
turity.
Dental decay is common enough, how
ever, among negroes in towns, and 1t
seems clear that the carries Of the teeth,
which is so common among civilized
races, is due not to any particular artl-
Gle of diet SO much as to digestive and
nutritive changes imposed upon us by
our mode of life, and to some extent by
the fact that by hook Or crook we do
somehow manage to live, notwithstand-
ing our bad 5eeth, whereas in state of
nature the toothless man soon dies.
Recognizing, then, that until the time
arrives when some great social reior1ner
either mends or ends our present social
conditions, our teeth will tend to rot
and that, whatever the predisposing
causes, the final act in the production
Of carries IS the lodgment of microbes on
and around the teeth, we see that fer
long to come the toothbrush will De
necessity if the health is to be main
tained.
It is only by frequent use Of this lit
tie instrument that those minute accu-
mutations can be removed which are
the root of so much mischief. A few
elementary lessons in bacteriology
would, we fancy, greatly .startle many
people and certainly would. show them
the futility Of trusting to one scrub
day. The fact is that if people, instead
Ol !OUh1uS do tG6 GOO1u uOIuSA 41O1d al
aesthetic point of view and scrubbing
away with tooth powders O. to make
their front teeth white, would regard IL
merely as an aid to cleanliness, they
would SEQ that the time to Use it is aft
er meals and at night, not just in the
morning cnly, when the debris left
from the day before has been ferment-
ing and brewing acid all night through.
They would also see bow insufficient an
instrument the common toothbrush is
unless it is used with considerable judg-
ment.
One of the secondary advantages of
spending good deal of money en- den
tistry is that at least one learns the
value Of ones teeth. By the time we
have got them dotted over with gold
stoppings and gold crowns we learn to
take care of them, even although that
may involve the trouble of cleaning
them more than once day and using
perhaps mora than one brush for the

A sh-ewd Photographer.

A Fifth avenue photographer has
lately completed q system by which hi:
pictures of babies have become famous.
He has discarded all the familiar ex-
pedients of his profession to persuade
very young children to submit to tha
camera and his scheme has been com.
pletely successful. One part of his gal
lery has been fitted up like nursery.
Around the room at convenient points
are situated cameras and these are in
charge cf his assistants The photog-
rapher devotes his attention to the baby.
He tries all the toys in turn, gets on as
intimate terms as posi- ible with the baby
after such snort acquaintance and grad
ually lures the unsuspecting infant into
looking his best. When pose and ex-
preston are satisfactory, he gives sig
mai to one Of his assistants at the cam
eras and the trick is done. Mothers
bring their babies from all quarters to
this tactful photographer. 1t would be
a difficult matter to find any child who
would not, after ten minutes session
with toys, exhibit some expression that
his parents would be proud of. The
artist catches that expression and as
many other agreeable ones as possible.
The final delight comes to the mother
when she receives the proofs, not sent
as proofs usually are, bit mounted on a
large piece Of card Hoard which makes it
possible for her to compare them simr!-
taneously. This wise man has left not:l
ing undone which could strengthen his
aold OF the babies and their photo
yraphs.-New York Sun.
