County-ChiId Badly Scalded.

CONVICTION, VA, March 29.-(Special)

lin n large building near the courthouse.
which was used by blacksmith. The
fire was discovered at A. NJ. by the
ight-policeman, who, with the aid OF
several others, who had been summoned
by his shooting, promptly extingushed

resulted had not the fire been put out
when it was. The work is thought to
have been that of tramps.

Twelve cases of diphtheria have devel-
oped within the last week among the pu-
nils in Public School No. in Brooklyn,
and as a result the school may be closed
to prevent a possible epidemic. Three OF
the twelve cases have resulted fatally.
In the grammar school there are l,lZo
pupils. and in the kindergarten ana phi
mary department 975 more. The primary
and kindergarten departments are IN
building apart from the grammar schooi'
and II is in them that all the cases so
far reported have developed. Not All oil
the nine pupils now Ill have bad attacks
of the disease and the physicians In at
tendance expect that there VIII be no
more deaths. The officials OF the School
Board will hold n conference to decide
whether the school should be closed

In all such cases as this public officers
should err upon the safe side. While the
doctors are discussing whether or not
diphtheria is communicable from one per-
son 10 another who are casually brought
together in "A close room, the general pub
lie would prefer to have the most rigid
precautions taken.
when in doubt take the safe side" Is
as wise a motto for sanltarians as for
railroad men.

TIME 1T WAS STOPPED.

If there is an ordinance to prevent
drivers of carts and wagons from OBJ
structing street-car traffic by refusing to
pull off, the tracks promptly at the sig
nal from the motorman. the police ought
to be given power to enforce it vigorous
Nv. If there is no such ordinance, one
and one imposing a heavy fine for viola
ton thereof-should be passed immedi-
ately.
1t is not an uncommon thing for
drivers of a certain class to take the
tracks with their teams, and by pre-
tending not to hear or ignoring the
motormans ring. delay a car for or
minutes while it is travelling a block
or so. These drivers seem to take a
delight in annoying both the motorman
and the passengers on the car. and it is
high time the evil was put a stop to by
dealing with the offenders severely.

The New York Journal quotes Congress-
man Swanson as saying with reference
to the Presidents message transmitting
the Maine report:
1T looks to me as If the Executive is
disposed to limit its relief TO present con-
ditions by simply furnishing food TO the
starving people in Cuba, who have been
placed in their present condition by
SPANISH tyranny, without relieving the
causes that have produced the wretched
state of affairs in Cuba.
81 do not favor autonomy or any kind
of government which will not be accept
able TO the Cubans. The United States
Government should settle this question
promptly. Congress ought to know the
nlans of the Executive before it appro-
nriates a single cent in the present emer-
gency."
The same paper quotes Representative
HAY as follows:
"The Presidents message is framed TO
nrevent war. 1t is disappointing, and
win not satisfy the people, 1t shows that
the President is controlled by the bond
holders. / shall oppose any appropria-
tion for Cuba that does not carry with
# the recognition of that island as an
independent republic"
The New York World quotes Senator
Martin as saying
until hearing something further from
the President. l am not prepared to say
dition of affairs in Cuba"
The World also quotes Senator Pritch-
ard Republican,, of North Carolina, as
follows: until we hear something fur
Their from the President l do not believe
In taking action; and Senator Butler
PopulisO, of North Carolina, as follows;
eve should recognize the independence
of Cuba, and then see who destroyed the
Maine"
Hon. w. w. Kitchin, at present the
only Democratic Congressman from
North Carolina. is quoted by the World
as follows:
"The message seems disappointing. IL
! did not impress me. What L heard Oh

tions-only a tame recital OF facts, some
of which were before known. repre-

of the Spanish ships came up to expecta- tions In point of speed. Their bottoms must have been foul. Then, think, they had Scotch and English engineers to han de the ships last year; since then their machinery had deteriorated I have tried to find out how long before the war these allen engineers left, but I guess it was some time. don't believe that the Span- iards are natural mechanics; they don't know how to keep machinery in order. Delicate machinery has got to be constant ly looked out for, or 1t will give way. Give the Spaniards a twenty-knot ship, and she will soon run down to an eighteen-knot and then a sixteen-knot ship.
 Coming up the coast of South America on our famous voyage we frequently ran for day at a time at fifteen knots and that not wholly on forced draught. Some times we made more than that in special bursts It was our custom as we got fur ther north to put on full speed whenever we met vessel. We would keep our stern to her until we found what we had run across, whether it was the whole Spanish fleet or not I should have been glad had I been able to take part in the naval parade It must have been great thing. I glad that the sailor boys had such a greeting. They deserved it."

The Fall Business.

The fall business season is at hand. The war is over, the excessive heat of an American summer is waning and the cotton bolls are opening on every hand. The very fact that the war is no longer a disturb ing feature-that it was prosecuted to a glorious finish and is now happily ended, would alone give business an impetus it has rarely had. The business season is certainly opened under the happiest auspices.
 The crops are everywhere abundant. It is a question whether they are not too abundant in some cases. Nature has been overland. It is still believed that the wheat crop may reach 7OOOOOOOO bushels, or nearly one hundred millions more than were ever grown in a single season. The south will have cotton enough to clothe a naked world, and if frosts do not come in the great corn states until the late days of September, the corn crop will be very large. When great crops of wheat, cotton and corn are simultaneously produced pros perity must come. It must come, too, in
  good measure. It will obtrude itself whether or no.
 The iron trade shows that a great busi ness season is before us. Prices are ad- vancing, and consumption outruns produc- tion. New structures of all sorts are going up or are planned, and into every consid- erable new structure iron or steel goes nowadays. In this way~thc iron market becomes the advance barometer of enter prise. Thers is none other so good And the best of it all is a strong iron market means prosperity in this district deeply emphasized.
 There is only one thing needed now. Do not be a doubter any longer. Enter upon the business season with confidence, full of hope. Think of the fields to which Ala bama iron and coal will go as a result of the war. Think of the building of the Nicaragua canal. Have faith in the min eral district of Alabama in particular, and in the American people in general Get to work with the fullest courage and confi- direction will soon be seen in degree of stable and sound prosperity such as this district has never known. The outlook does not disclose a single dark spot

COMMISSIONER FRYE

From the New York Press.
 No American could be more intensely par tisan than Senator Frye, and by appointing him peace commissioner the president makes a strong bid for expansion. I do not believe that Senator Frye could be per- suaded by any line of policy to give up any, thing that ever roasted under the American flag. He has been one of the interesting figures in Washington ever since he took his seat in the senate in 1881 as the success sor of MT. Blaine. He has been in public life twenty-seven years, and Is now in his 6sth year. Being fair and nearly red of hair, he does not show his age, but has grown old like a dear, amiable, freckled grandmother. He is about feet, 10 inches high and weighs ITO pounds.
 Senator Frye neighbor friend and pub lie official has been faithful to every trust. He is jealous churchman and Sunday school worker legislator and Alliance man. His amusements are solitaire and Senator German. His love of the Maryland jesuit is the most remarkable thing about him. He is a baby at politics, caring absolutely nothing about the machinery of parties and the manipulation of votes. German is a past master. Frye has always been a lead CT, but others have pulled the wires Cor man has always pulled the wires, and sometimes has led. Frye ds a total ab- stainer from prohibition state. German is a teetotaler from a state where whisky is drunk as water. Frye is never seen in places where fellow men congregate-clubs, hotel Hobbies, etc. He Is not diner-out. As a social success he Is, to make a bull, unqualified failure. Congressional poker parties in committee rooms or elsewhere have no attractions for him. I have never heard of his playing. If you want to see him at night go to the Hamilton, at Four teenth and K streets, where you will catch him in his plainly furnished room playing exciting games of solitaire with himself.
