DR.. FISHBLATT,


Spent i'm the Great Specialist,
DR.. Fishblatt's Office COnvinces
a Reporter That There is No
Buster Man in Minneapolis.
One thing which struck him more
forcible than anything else was that
DR.. Fishblatt is strictly refined gen.
tleman in all ways. In his Office the
great specialist is seen to advantage,
as soon as patient is admitted he
feels the personality of the doctor,
which seems to instill into him per,
feet confidence.
For instance, during the reporters
call, DR.. Fishblatt operated on Miss
Gertie Winson and Miss, Emma Pemin-
grouth of LOwden, Iowa, both for
cross eyes. Sitting them in chairs
close together he Strengthened Miss
Wilson'S eyes first, then Immediately
afterwards Miss Pemingrouth's, the
ladies experiencing hardly any pain,
and the two operations consuming
not over minutes. The two young
ladies returned home without band
agesor experiencing any evil effects,
as the doctor with his new methods
does not administer opiates of any
kind.
The next patient was Mrs. Rose, Of
Cedar Falls, who had growth over
the sight of the left eye. This the
doctor removed in less than 5 minutes,
and as in the two first cases, admins
tered no drugs. The doctor rings his
bell, Mrs. Rose is shown out, and a
gentleman, Mr.. Krall by name, takes
the place in the chair His trouble is
a cancerous growth as large as an egg
upon the upper and lower lids of the
eye; other doctors had said that an
operation was the only way of reduc-
ing the unsightly growth, and that
the removal OF the eye was also neces-
sary. Mr.. Krall is "a years of age, and
his children are afraid that such an
amount of butchering would kill him.
DR.. Fishblatt has applied two treat
ments; the cancerous growth has SUBJ
sided one-half Mr.. Krall's entire re-
covery will be another proof of the
great specialists skill. The next per
son shown in was Mr.. Snyder, who
will be remembered by Minneapolis
people as driver and owner of fast
horses. Mr.. Snyder has been under
the care of local specialists for several
months, but was gradually getting
blind. This is his third week of treat
ment. Under DR.. Fishblatt bis eye
sight is returning, the inflammation
has entirely subsidized and Mr.. Snyder
says that words amount to nothing
when he tries to express his gratitude
for the good he has derived from the
great physicians treatment. Patient
after patient entered, received treat
ment and left, and when the reporter
went out of the office the hall and eX-
ira sitting rooms of the Nicollet hotel
were crowded, people coming and 60
ing all the time. Nobody who has
any disease of the eye, ear, nose or
throat should miss the opportunity
DR.. Fishblatt remains two days at The
Saulpaugh, Mankato, MINI. Arrives
on May 18th. Friday and Saturday.

nnodists or her own especial tradespeople,
she receives substantial commission from
her traiesnen for this little act OF kind
ness When she delicately hints that for
some special occasion toilets of particular
elegance are necessary. the purchasing OF
these toilets add 2 goOGly sum TO her store
of ready money.
while the tradespcople of France are,
as = rule. fair and honest in their dealings
with their customers vino come to them
direct, the pernicious system of commits
sions insisted upon by many OF their fash
ionable patrons when recommending 9th
ers TO purchase of them results in over
charges. These, however, are smilingly
paid, since the patronage of so distin-
euished a person as the introducer guar
antees to the Introduce that the establish
ment is the proper thing in its line.
"Opera boxes are rented in Paris by the
year. and If well managed can be made
quite a paying investment. For instance,
the Marquise de st. Paul, an aristocrat to
her finger tips, does not feel like going TO
the opera every uight-every night is not
fashionable-so some DISTINGUISHED third
person suggests to her American acquaint-
ances that it would give her and hers a
very desirable social stamp to be seen in
the box of the marquise.
The matter OF money is easily ar
ranged 1t would be graceful acknowl-
edglnent of the marquise's courtesy in
allowing them the use of her box TO con-
tribute a certain sum to that ladyS char
liable fund, and the contribution is made
most willingly. The marquise, however,
being a firm believer in the adage that
charity begins at home, profits personally
and satisfactorily by the transaction.
Where there is n daughter ambitious to
own title a wider field of operations is
entered upon. There are crowds of ilnpov
erished scions of noble families who are
only too willing to barter position for
wealth, and one of these being selected as
eligible he is Obliged to sign q regular
contract specifying exactly how much of
his prospective wife's fortune he will pay
to the -aristocratic matchmaker in the
event of his marrying her dear young
American friend. Sometimes where there
is a dowry the amount is paid down, and
again it is paid so much by the month, so
that there are many American girls who
quite unconsciously have literally paid for
their husbands on the installmcnt plan"

Carrying the Spaniards Home.

The task of carrying ToraPs army to Spain begins to loom up as a very consid- erable undertaking. The government has use while the war lasts, for every trans port in it's possession; and it must therefore buy or charter more, or else call for bids Bids will undoubtedly be called for, and the impression prevails that the bids will be at least up to the regular steerage rate from New York to Liverpool-thirty dollars
 Some transportation men who have ex- pressed opinions think the cost may be much higher. They say vessels will have to undergo more or less preparation or al- iteration for the work. Then they must sail in ballast for Santiago, and must return from Spain to their home ports in ballast. The round trip would consume five or six weeks. The danger of an outbreak of vel low fever is also to be taken into considera- tion. All steamship men know that there is no disease so difficult of complete erad- ication as yellow fever. Some steamship men therefore say the rate of transporta- ton will be high-that 1t may cost $1O0o.- 0oo to transport 10000 men, or $50 head.
 The quartermasters department will, it is thought, give English and German lines opportunities to bid. Transportation will be secured on the best terms. If bids should not be forthcoming the government would be compelled to charter tramp steam- CTS and refit them for the task. However  it is looked at, the moving of an army across the Atlantic is not light task. As one man has recently said. it is case of building "a golden bridge for fleeing en- omy."
 But difficult and expensive as the task may bs. it is better than keeping our brave men in wet trenches, exposed to the dread levers of the Santiago climate. one addi- tionsl day. It is better than the reinforce ment of Havana. So that whatever the job costs. or however much the quarter masters may hs bothered, the country will approve the terms of surrender. The men

The Santiago Surrender.

The surrender of Santiago and it's large garrison constitutes an unique spectacle of modern warfare. It is a spectacle that stands out against Roman customs and long line of barbarities before and after. The keynote of the entire negotiations was they American or Spanish. without detri- ment to the actual situation on either side. An assault or a siege based on starvation, would have had like ending, but in the course of either an assault or siege many lives would have been sacrificed without materially weakening either party. The inevitable was anticipated. and many lives saved. General Toral has not thrown away any chances of victory. General Shafter has won no more than would have been his in the course of war. Val- subserved, and this is the chief and domi- nant and happy feature of the surrender
 Another fact should be noted. The over fed insurgents, full of revenge and wrongs, were not placed in charge of the city. Colonel McKibben. a regular army officer, who fought in the civil war, is the new military governor of Santiago. This is very significant Colonel McKibben will doubt less remain in charge until peace and order are fully restored-until General Fitzhugh Lee is sent to govern the entire island, and as much longer as General Lee may need his services. Colonel McKibben has no wrongs to avenge. No plantation of ms was burned. He has no heelers to reward, for he probably does not know politician, and has small use for one any way. Mili- tary rule, pure and simple, is to be estab- lished wherever the army is victorious General Merritt goes to the Philippines, and Colonel McKibben is installed in the palace at Santiago This, too, stands for humanity-for justice and fair dealing pri- marily, but justice and fair dealing mean, of course, the love of men. Justice and fair dealing in a war-rent district mean good government, real peace, and after while prosperity. Under Colonel McKib- ben the iron mines can be reopened, and trade flow back in its accustomed chan na1s

THE ENsLEy STEEL WORKS

From The Tradesman.
 The great steel works at Ensiey, Ala, will begin with twelve furnaces, having ca- pacitv of fifty tons each, operating all the furnaces the works would produce, say 200 tons in twenty-four hours. The ingots, etc, will be handled by traveling cranes operated above the furnaces by trolley. Speaking of this project, the Philadelphia Record says that when the Carnegie com pany reduced the price of steel rails Tor export to $16 per ton in 1897 many steel and iron brokers and others engaged in the trade did not believe the announcement made to that effect. Sixteen dollars ton was thought to be an absurd price, and 1t was said that it was simply impossible to make rails at any such figure. Since that time MT. Carnegie himself has said that his concern had sold hundreds of thousands of tons of steel rails for export at $16 ton which was only one-sixteenth of the price paid some years ago by the Pennsyl- vania railroad for imported rails; and he said further that his company had not lost money by filling orders at that low figure In view of the fact that pig iron suitable for making basic open-hearth steel can be made in the south at such low cost, there is Justification for the assertion that In a year or so steel will be produced as cheaply in the south as anywhere else in the world This prediction must not however, be mis- understood. The Carnegie company and other steel makers in Pennsylvania are doubtless fully cognzant of the capabilities of the south as producer of steel, and they will probably be prepared to meet any competition from that source"
 We guess the Pennsylvania road never paid s256 a ton for imported steel rails, but this by the way only. The Record pro- ceeds on the hypothesis that the raw iron (basic pig) at Ensley will cost $.i5 ton It will cost, as a matter of fact at least $2.7 a ton less than that. We arc of opin- ion that steel billets will be produced at Ensley, barring accidents, at a cost of $1O a ton, or even less. And there is no cer- tainty that the Carnegies will not meet this cost sheet. The economies in mining. freightng and smelting they have applied are marvellous. They have an ore that ay- erages over 65 per cent metallic iron, while Alabama's will average 50 per cent or less. There was no thought by its projectors that the big plant at Ensley would become a competitor for trade in the horizon of Pittsburg and Cleveland and Chicago; but it is seriously contemplated that it will compete with all corners for southern trade. The south is going to make it's. own steel and some to sell elsewhere.

4 cery good piece of aoork, assure you. Midsummer Nights Dream.
An Ideal Mil.

The ideal southern manufacturing plant will be realized on the first day of August, for on that day the cotton mill of the Edgefeld Manufacturing company of South Carolina, will be started. The cot ton mill will contain at the start 25Ol spindles and 15O looms for the manufacture of standard four-yard sheetings.
 The company is now operating a ginnery, a cotton-seed oil mill and a fertilizer fac tory. The addition of cotton mill com pletes the system Seed cotton will then be received from the farm, to be ginned One part will go to the right to be turned into cloth; the other part will go to the left to be, first, crushed for the oil it con- tains, and then turned into fertilizers and cattle feed. All this will go on in con- tinuing operation in single plant. To say that such a plant cannot make money when widely separated plants can make money after paying for bagging and ties and freight bill, is simply to assert the rldlculouS. Sucn plants can make money in times when the others cannot
 The Edgefield plant is the first of many There is, however, no need of much study Of it. Everybody knows that such plant must afford very considerable savings, and everybody knows. too, that it is the kind of a mill that brings to the south all the benefits that the fibre is capable of. This section has gone on letting other countries and other sections of this country do work that could as well be done here, and gather profits that should be gathered amid the cotton fields; but the Edgefield plant points the way to revolution that will make the south rich
 All localities in the south are not adapted to such a mill, but in this state at least half of the slxty-six counties should have plants like that of the Edgefield company. Nothing less will do. Seed cotton at one door, and sheetingst and oil and fertilizers and cattle feed at the other doors of the building The sheetings and oil should not be too closely blended, neither should feed for honest cattle and fertilizers, but still all the work can be done under one roof, thus saving a world of handling and freight charges, and giving employment to every one who desires it in the land that grows the fibre.
