DIR. Runners Advice to "A WouId-Be
Newspaper Correspondent.
A young gentleman in Savannah, not en-
gagged in the newspaper business received
an offer from a Western paper recently
to go to Cuba as war correspondent.
The young man says he had no fear of
the Spaniards, but was somewhat dubious
on the subject of yellow fever.
He accordingly wrote Dr. Drummer, the
United States sanitary Inspector at Ha-
vana, for Information as to the situation.
He received the following prompt reply:
Havana, Cuba, March s, 1S9S-Dear Mr..
-: In answer to your letter of the 30
inst, L would say that there are dozens
of correspondents here now for American
newspapers. Some of them have had yell
low fever; some have not; but little dan
ger of yellow fever in the country dis
tricts, but there are worse things that that
l would advise no man to come here, ex-
cept to fight, and the time has not come
for that yet. Very respectfully,
"W. f. Drummer"
The young man has decided that he
will not go to Cuba just yet

Can We Act at Once.

To our nonresident comrades we wish to
make a statement in regard to the sash, door
and furniture factory. We have chance to
get four working machines second hand,
but as good as new, run only very short
time and then housed in dry place. All be-
ing necessary to the factory and can now be
got at total cost of 1850 for the four ma
chimes. Now, they would cost us more than
double that. Now, some one else may buy
them if we do not, and the point of this re-
mark is. can those who are in a position to
do so, make their contributions as soon as
possible 50 that we may save nearly 300. One
dollar now is worth two dollars if we let this
good bargain slip. A little hustling among
your friends, little sacrifice of the price of
few theater tickets from hundred of our
socialist friends would secure about half of
the machines the factory will need. 1t is
within our reach.-lets reach out and take
Some one make move and a stampede will
follow and the first we know those machines
will belong to lot of socialists and merrily

Dear Sisters-When We have sickness. we

clan always at our call, and medicine also.
We are not obliged to be half dead before we
call doctor, for fear of the bills. We re-
port the first symptoms Of sickness to our
doctor, he makes his examination; if there is
competent nurse in the family, they are al
lowed to nurse them, and if there is not such
nurse, the doctor appoints one. Should it be
a child then the mother is left to care for it.
and is exempt from other duties. Every atten-
tion is shown them, and when all thoughts of
having to pay doctor and druggist bills, and
plenty of good wholesome food is provided it
doesn't take person very long to get well.

EQUALITY COLONY
MOMMN'S GOLUNlNo
All communications intended for this
column should be directed to Anna
Burgess, Equality, Washington.

At our last woman's meeting we decided to
accept of the offer to conduct woman's
column in our paper, having been informed
that our sisters on the outside would like to
learn something about domestic life at Equa-
lily. What has impressed me much is the
independence of our women. We have equal
rights here, we vote as we please mot as our
husbands tell us) and this is because we are
economically free; what we earn is our very
own, consequently we have peace in the
family. Considering that we are thrown to-
gether here in such haphazard way, from
almost every state in the union, [ think we
get along remarkably well. OF course we
have discussions, disputes, ETC., and so it
will be until we out-live the selfshness that
has been instilled into us under "a competi-
tive system. If our sisters who are out in
world of competition have encouraging
words for us we shall wei ome them.
