The Treatment She Received BY the
Spanish Declared AbOminabIe.
Tampa, Fla, Sept. 9.-Mlss Clara Bar
ton, president of the National Red Cross
Society, came into Tampa tonight from
quarantine and was taken to the residence
of j. M Towne. which has been donated
by Mr. Towne for her use while in the
city. She is stiil suffering from a severe
Inflammation of the eyes, contracted while
in Havana harbor. The disease was caused
by flies. The Red Cross ship Clinton had
mules on board and these attracted flies
by the millions. 1t was feared by the
physicians that Miss Barton would lose
the sight of her right eye, but its recov-
cry is now assured.
One of the surgeons from the Clinton
said: The treatment of us by Spaniards
was abominable. We were not only not
permitted to feed the starving Cubans
but the customs authorities taxed us $500
in gold for a trivial error in the ship s
inland to Matanzas. The conditions there
are worse than al Santiago or Havana
Women and children are dying in the
streets daily. Local officials were willing
and anxious for US to feed the starving
but everything is being hogged by Ha-
Vana and refused to other places over
which the Spanish have control. Our relief
work is now confined to Santiago, but we
will not despair of reaching the other
places.

loaded here and its destination is not yet

HERE'S A NEW SNAKE STORY.

hend-The witnesses Are Thor
OughIy Truthful.
From the Baltimore American.
Cumberland, Nd, Sept. 4.-Mr. David
Hoover, a farmer, who lives in sally
House" farm, a few miles from this city,
was in the city yesterday and told a
marvellous snake story, and had it come
from any person other than Mr. Hoover,
1t would hardly seem credible but the
veracity of MIR. Hoover has never been
doubted, and the gentleman has wide
experience in the killing of snakes.
Mr. Hoover and Samuel Fauhel were
engaged in loading hay in the meadow.
when they stirred up a monster black
snake about six feet in length, and the
slow movement of the reptile and the
thickness, was a popularity which made
them hesitate about killing it. At
glance at the monster, il looked to them
as If il had two heads-one large one
near the center of its body, and a smaller
one where the head proper belongs While
the snake moved along slowly the men
got close enough to see that the black
snake had swallowed a copperhead about
three feet long.
The men, armed with clubs, made for
the reptile. but the reptile eluded them,
and, with its prey, climbed a small hick-
DRY tree. After an hours fight it was
dislodged, and fell 70 the ground, and,
with the aid of a dog, the men dispatch
ed the snake.
While the blacksnake was carrying the
copperhead along the ground the latter
was waving its head back and forth, maxi
ing strenuous efforts to free itself from the
fangs of its enemy. The blacksnake was
slowly swallowing Ats prey, and by the
time the reptile was killed had succeed
ed in gorging the copperhead down until
all that was visible was its head.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but
also to the care and skill with which
1t is manufactured by scientific proc
esses known to the CALIFORNIA FIG
SYRUP Co. only, and we wish to i'm
press upon all the Importance of pur-
chasing the true and original rene
dy. AS the genuine Syrup of Figs is
manufactured by the CALIFORNIA
FIG SYRUP Co. only, a knowledge of
that fact will assist one in avoiding
the worthless limitations manufact-
ured by other parties. The high
standing of the CALIFORNIA FIG
SYRUP Co. with the medical profess
sion, and the satisfaction which the
genuine Syrup of Figs has given to
millions of families, makes the name
of the Company guaranty of the ex-
ce!lence of its remedy. 1t is far in ad-
vance of all other laXatives, as it acts
on the kidneys, liver and bowels
without irritating or weakening
them, and it does not grippe nor nau-

THINKS HORSES BETTER

Jack Dalton, Alaskan ProsDector.
Does Not Favor the Reindeer.
Jack Dalton, the well-known Alaska
prospector, after whom the Dalton
trail is named, in an interview, speak
ing OF the proposed relief expedition of
the United States government to Alas
ka, said:
THE proposal to use reindeer teams
does not strike me as being the RIGHT
thing. Horses can be used to much
better advantage. Instead of reindeer,
the department ought to get together
a large number Of hardy horses. Suf-
ficient food should be taken along to
feed them. They can do much better
work than reindeer. would use sleds
for carrying the food for the men and
provender for the horses. To handle a
reindeer expeditiously, it would be nee
essary to have relay stations established
a days journey apart. with food for
the animals at these stations"
Mr.. Dalton. in speaking of the best
route by which to take relief, said he
would go over the Chilkat pass and
then down the lakes and the Yukon
river over the ice.

DISLIKE ANDREWS VIEWS,

Censure Him for Prats1ng Robert r.
Lee and the Turks.
President E. Benjamin Andrews, of
Brown university. whose freedom of ut
terance on the money question led to
a bitter contest between him and the
trustees of the university last spring is
again mixed up in a controversy.
This time it is with the G. A. r. and
the churchly admirers of the Armenian,
both of which bodies declare that he
has been unjust and unwise, while some
of the latter insist that he has been
talking on a matter of which he knows
nothing.
Last week DR.. Andrews went to Chi
cago to lecture on ''The Generals of the
Confederacy," and in the course Of his
remarks he praised Gen. Robert E. Lee
at the expense of some of the generals
of the union army. This fact was
learned of in Providence, R. l., before
the doctor arrived, and the result was
criticism from his former companions
in arms, for the doctor lost an eye dur
ing the late unpleasantness Resolu-
tions have been passed by the G. A. r.
in Boston condemning the utterances,
and similar resolutions will be passed
by grand army organizations in this
state
Friends of the Armenians are taking
similar action becau use he said recently
that the Turks are "a nobler and more
moral race than the Armenians.'

An Election Bet Is Settled Socially
ut Philadelphia.
A dinner of 10 covers, which cost ST.
900, or more than $3.50 a cover, was given
the other night at the Hotel Bellevue
in Philadelphia. 1t grew out of an cleo
ton bet made before the election for
sheriff last year. The ~ diners were
in the Bellevue discussing the relative
chances of Candidates Grow and Ash
bridge. Among the ~ were James FL
version, Jr., and A. S. L. Shields. The
former held that Grow would win and
Shields fancied the other. candidate,
and so certain was each that dinner to
be given to IL men by the loser was ar
ranged as wager. Elverson was wear
ing at the time diamond pin shaped
like horseshoe. Thus it was suggested
that souvenir of the dinner be in the
shape of a horseshoe. At each plate
was horseshoe pin of diamonds set in
platinum and the exact imitation of the
one worn by Elverson at the time of the
bet. The total cost of So, 900 was reached
in this way: The pins cost probably $50
apiece and the case Sc. This accounts
for S1,032. The menu cards cost at least
$50 apiece. The rest of the cost includ-
ed decorations, dinner and expensive
wines. Elverson is the son of the pub
Usher of the Inquirer. Shields is a
noted local politician.

however, that when similar story
gained circulation in Madrid a few
weeks ago it was promptly and with ap-
parent authority denied. The report
was originally printed in a French
newspaper and was copied in Madrid.
Thereupon the Epoca, the leading con-
servative paper in Madrid, the editor
being the dean of the journalistic COM
munity, took up the matter and gave
assurance that the American wife Of
the French ambassador would be re-
ceived with every mark of considera-
ton. 1t instanced as similar case that
of the wife of Marquis Apezteguia, who
was formerly Miss Vincent, of New
York, and as wife of the we'll known
Spanish leader has been made q Span
ish grandee and a close associate of
the queen. These American wives, the
Epoca asserted, in no way shared the
sentiment of certain radical elements
in America favorable to the Cuban in
surgents, and they would be shown
every mark of royal favor. Nine. Pa
tenotre was formerly Miss Elverson,
of Philadelphia.

NEW BILLS ARE ARTISTIC
Description of the Latest Money
Gotten Out by the Treasury.
Their Distinguishing Feature Is the
Large Amount of White Surface
That Appears.-It Is Difficult
to Counterfeit.

Simple, yet artistic, clear and easily
distinguished. almost proof against the
counterfeiter's art, are the new one and
two-dollar silver certificates. Their dis
tinguishing feature is the large amount
of white surface that appears, giving
them more of the appearance of money
and less of the effect of advertisements.
The notes are of the regulation size,
3X7A inches. The faces are printed in
black, and the backs in green. The
seal, serial number, and one large coun-
ter denomination are printed upon the
face in blue, for the silver citificate, red
for the United States note, and orange
for the treasury note. In each Of the
upper corners of the one-dollar design
there is strong piece of lathe work,
with a very plain 81" in the center. In
small piece of lathe work with small
figure Il" in it's center. In the center of
the note is the American eagle with out
stretched wings, standing on the staff
Of the American flag, with the dome of
the capitol in the background, beneath
which is lathe work containing the
words: 'Silver Certificate" Omitted
States Note" or Treasury Note" as the
case may be. To the right and left of
this lathe work will appear small por-
traits of Presidents Lincoln and Grant,
surrounded by wreaths of leaves. In
the upper border is worked a part of
the text, and the words "Silver Certi-
fiNofn w &c h.
counting officers of the treasury in dis
tinguishing the issue after the note has
been divided lengthwise in the center,
which is done before it is finally de-
stroyed, so that each half of note has
distinctive mark showing to which
issue it belongs.
The words "United States of Amer
lea" appear Immediately over the eagle
in plain letters in curved line. In fact
the text of the bill is quite artistically
worked into the design, without inter-
fering with a considerable amount of
blank paper. which is considered so
necessary in securing easy detection of
counterfeits and proper wear of the
bill. The two dollar face, like the one
dollar, has a strong piece of the lathe
work at each upper corner, differing in
design. with a plain ''2" in each, with
the words United States of America"
placed upon lathe work in the upper
center. gracefully surrounded by a
scroll containing the words 1.-TWO Sill
yer Dollars" below it in the center of the
note. and portrait of George Washing
ton at the lower center of the note sur
rounded by scroll work. On each side
OF the portrait are placed the figures of
male and female in sitting posture,
the male figure representing "Com-
merce" and the female figure "Agri-
culture" or "Plenty." In the lower CEN
ter of the border appear very plainly
and distinctly the words "Silver Ger
tificate," thus forming in the center of
the note combination of hand engrav-
ing, lathe work and lettering which not
only give great security against coun-
terfeiting. but produce very artistic
design

Relief for the Tired Saleswomen.

Not only the saleswomen complain,
but trained nurses often suffer from
swollen feet, especially when they first
go into hospitals. A powder which is
much used in the German army for
sitting into the shoes and stockings of
the infantry soldiers might be of serv-
ice. 1t consists of three parts of salicy-
lie acid, ten parts of starch and 81 parts
OF pulverized soapstone. This keeps the
feet dry, prevents chatting and heals any
sore spots. The soapstone alone, with
out the other ingredients, has also been
found useful and soap alone will give
relief when we'll rubbed over the sole of
the stocking.

thing to alleviate the pain, but could
get no relief. She then went to the
dispensary, where one of the reaches

almost crazed with pain before it could

ATTACKS STAGE MORALS.
Clement Scott, Dramatic Critic,
Raises a Storm in England.
Declares a Woman Cannot Keep Her
Purity and Hope for n Successful
Professional Career-Tries to
Explain His Utterances.

Clement Scott, the dramatic critic,
has stirred up storm by the circula-
ton OF advance sheets of an interview
for Great Thoughts" attacking the
morals of the stage. His utterances are
based on the most intimate lifelong
acquaintance with the personnel of the
profession, and his position as dean of
the London critics gives his views i'm
portance. Seeing the advance recep-
ton, Mr.. Scott requested the editor not
to print the interview, which he refused
to do. Mr.. Scott, in the interview, said
it was nearly impossible for a woman
to remain pure who adopts the stage,
adding that the freedom of life, speech
and gesture behind the curtain ''ren-
ders it almost impossible for woman
to preserve that simplicity of manner
which is her greatest charm"
What is infinitely more to be de-
plored," he added, lis that woman who
endeavors to keep her purity is almost
as a necessity foredoomed to failure in
her career. 1t is an awful thing to say,
and, still more terrible, it is true, but
no one VINO knows the life OF the green
room dare deny it,
Mr. Scott says the English stage is the
worst, because the English are the least
artistic people in the world and "more
completely without the saving grace Of
humor than any nation"
Being interviewed on the subject Of
this interview, Mr.. Scott protests that
it is not an attack on the stage, that he
has not been accurately reported, and
that tits not fair to quote extracts, as he
was speaking for religious paper and
from moral standpoint.
'Many actresses" he continued, lead
noble lives, and the children of actors
who are forewarned of the dangers sell
dom go astray."

thorn, or Christ's thorn, the legend be-
ing that it was OF this plant that the
crown Of thorns was made. In France
