AND TIMELY v0BDs.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is busy soldering, but he is not so busy that he can't see some things which need to be seen. There have been many indi- cations that the army contractor in this war is much like what he has been in other wars. Colonel Roosevelt has this to say of him: A contractor may have no heart, but he has fear, and there is yet to be such an uprising of enraged public opinion as will sweep more than one of them into State pris- on We all personally know of cases of the grossest neglect, I can quote several among my own friends or fam- fly. I do not give names, because the boys are willing to endure anything for their country, but almost every family in the land is at this moment busy sending boxes of eatables to a half starved son or brother at the front. Let us appoint committee to work with all other pratriotic societies to gather information, to publish facts, and to ascertain as far as we can who are the guilty parties, whether the contractor is altogether to blame or whether the public official is as bad. Let us, if necessary, call the attention of the criminal officers of the govern ment. Let us make it our business, as it seems to be no one else's, to put a stop to infamy which is a disgrace to our nation.
 That's the talk, and 1t ought to be the action. We owe it to the brave men who do the fighting that they shall not be swindled by pirates whose heartlessness shows that they wouldn't be above robbing the dead.

I GOOD BEGINNING.


 The Porto Ricans have been credited With considerable intelligence, and the action of some of them this week indi- cates that they know enough to know a good thing when they see 1t. At the taking of Ponce there was no resist ance and the United States troops were welcomed with enthusiasm. A dispatch says that the Porto Ricans say they are all Americans.
 This is 8 good beginning for people who are soon to be Americans. If they are as intelligent as they are said to be they must be heartily tired of the fool ish and exasperating Spanish rule. Their manifest destiny will be the best thing that ever happened to them, and they will be more and more pleased With their capture by free and civil- ized country.

low fever. Minor details are avoided. The chief landmarks are ample for the purpose in hand. A few cases show a different kind of invasion or seizure, They are attended by sudden nausea and dizziness. That greatly alarms the newcomer They pass, to be followed by the usual symptoms, as stated. The intense suffusion or redness of the face, the intolerable headache, the bor- ing pain in the back near the buttock, and the mans statements generally make up the clements necessary for in stant treatment. It may be an intense malarial fever Be that as 1t may, early and instant treatment may mean a life saved.
 As between sharp malarial attack In a newcomer, be it simple intermit- tent or bilious remittent and yellow fe- yer, quinine and laxatives must be the agents in clearing up doubts. Laxa- tives and quinine have a specific and well-known action. If they fail to re- duce the fever in ten to twelve. hours, both having been given in full tropical doses, then the yellow fever expert knows just what is ahead. What faces him is condition and not a theory, and much time has been saved.
 The temperature in the first stage is from 102 to IDA degrees. Some cases reach 105 degrees and recover. Fevers at 106 and 107 degrees as a rule are fa- tai in the tropics. If the case passes through the first or initial fever" and enters on the stage of calm," as it is called, there is a slight fall in tempera- ture, with a marked lessening in all the symptoms. In stage of secondary fe- ver' it soon runs up to the maximum in the first stage. Necessarily with the increased fever the classic symptoms all become intensified The ''period of calm" often is very deceptive. Gene rally it is mere repression. The pulse resumes it's hard unyielding character. aspirations become hurried, when the whole clinical picture becomes very threatening. Respirations are often from forty to fifty a minute; pulse seventy to eighty, the slow pulse being very characteristic.
 The thirst is great, as a rule. The vomiting is constant and a most dis dressing symptom. The vomiting in the severe cases is marked in the stage of secondary fever.'
 The slightest pressure over the pit of the stomach causes intense pain, due to the acute inflammation of that organ. If albumen fails to appear in the urine during the initial fever'' it invariably appears during the "period of calm" or in that of the secondary fever" All cases of true yellow fever give al- bumen in the urine. This with the other symptoms makes typical case of tropical yellow fever Even when delirium is absent the patients move about in bed. The pain and general disturbance wear them out. Sleep un- der such conditions is impossible. Opium and morphine are contra indi- cated by the condition of the kidneys. E Such Is the malignant type that kills in four or five days. When 1t is a fe- yer of single access" or paroxysm, the albumen invariably appears on the second or third day, also the vomiting. Necessarily the heaviest mortality is in this class. In cases ending fatally "black vomit," suppression of urine

This yoke was round in back, and on the foulard next it was a Grecian border done with nar- row satin ribbon. This ran from yoke to skirt hem and furnished the princess effect that has been so frequent re- sort in the past few months.

Magdeburg- Neustadt's police had the Salvation Army and newspaper pub- for announcing that "the greatest liar in Neustadt" would be disclosed at one of it's meetings. The Salvation Army asserted that by this the devil was meant. The police, however, insisted that a great many respectable citizens had been made uneasy by the threat. The Court of Appeal has decided that the sentences were unjust, as the police had no right to interfere.

These physicians advise that the use of coffee be limited to two cups a day. Coffee topers, they say, are plentiful, and are as much tied to their cups as the whiskey toper.

Russia's national debt at the begin- ming of the present year amounted in round numbers to 600OOo,0OO rubles, showing an increase over the previous year of about 5OO0o,Oo rubles. It has purchased and taken under govern ment control the Vistula, the Moscow Brest and -Smolensk railroads, involving an expenditure of something like 500,000,00O rubles, half of which was paid last year, the remainder to be pro- yided for during the present one, but as these systems pay their way and show profit the transaction does not involve an increase of government in- debtedness.

Early in 1897 Pennsylvania passed a law imposing upon the employers of foreign-born unnaturalized male per- sons over twenty-one years of age a tax of three cents per day for every day such persons are employed, the amount of the tax to be deducted from the wages of persons affected by the provisions of the act. The law has been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme court of the State. In deliv- ering the opinion of the court Chief Justice Sterritt characterized it as "be-. longing to vicious class of legisla- tion.''

SURVIVORS OF THE MAINE.
The Pathetic Story of Poor Little
 Mary.

New York, April 19.-For weeks af-
 ter the Maine incident the relatives o1
 sailors who had been killed by the ex-
 plosion made the Brooklyn yard daily
 visits, hoping to hear from their loved
 ones. One little girl, aged 16, appeared
 daily in quest of information of hel
 brother, whose term would exIS.e ir
 thirty days. The officers, as we'll as
 the men of the yard, grew to know
 her, and went out of their way to dc
 her kindness, or to offer some cheer.
 ing suggestion to her. She lived ir
 Brooklyn, and at her home she re-
 ceived many little tokens of the kind
 nesses of the yard men, who sent he1 cheering notes, offering her assistance and keeping her constantly posted as to the work of the divers at Havana Soon, however, came the report that the body of her brother had been re- covered. All hope had fled. Her visits stopped, and now she is but a memory to the yard men and officers who, when they speak of her, recall her grief and mention her name with broken voices. Poor little Nary
 After the disaster many of the sur V1vors were sent to the navy yard to report for duty. They had, in about every case, lost their entire earthly possessions. Little trinkets, souve- n1rs of wives, sweethearts or daugh- ters had gone down in the wreck. These have been lost to them forever and in their place is substituted a glory and an afectionate place in the hearts Of Americans. But glory and affection does not always buy clothes and to- bacco, and pipes and other sailor ne cessitfes, and to alleviate this in 8 measure, the United States, by it's naval regulations, has provided that every sailor who has suffered loss in this way shall be reimbursed, not in full, but to an amount not exceeding one years pay.
 Capt. Miller has been receiving the claims of the survivors and already las many of them adjusted. Last week he was Investigating the case of a seaman named Schwartz, whose chest all his earthly possessions has not been recovered Schwartzs case is a peculiar one, as he claims to have had among his other possessions more than a thousand dollars in good United States certificates. His claim seems to be well substantiated, too for often while on the trip he would repair to his chest and take from its recesses a large roll of bills, and to some of his shipmates would count the money over. These men were called before Capt. Miller and testified that they had time and. again seen him count the money. He was seen at his chest handling the money in Havana harbor the night before the Maine was blown up. It may be added that he was not considered a miser, but han dled the money in the same free and easy style peculiar to sailors the world over. His money is gone and the most he can claim is years wages, some thing less than $200.

WATCH FOR THE ENEMY.
Arrangements for the Big Observation
 Balloon at Fort Wadsworth.

New York, April 19.-The big obser- vation balloon which arrived from Fort Logan, Colorado, will have it's first trial here this week. Lieut.. Jo- seph Maxfield has been detailed by the authorities at Washington as assistant to Capt. Allen, and he will take active charge of the balloon, Sergeant Ivy Baldwin, the practical balloonist, who came on from Fort Logan, acting as navigating officer.
 To send up an airship of this size forty feet in diameter time. It's scaffolding must first be erected and tested; then there is 14,000 cubic feet of gas to be generated to fill it. It is not intended to wander abroad in the upper air. but is to be kept anchored, and it's maximum ascension will be about 1,S00 feet. This Is supposed to give visual range of 150 miles. It would not be likely to be noticed by an enemy until he was within a few miles for it forms a very small speck on the sky line when seen at any considerable distance, and even quite close at hand the enemy could hardly interfere with it, as modern armament is not built with a view to aerial gunnery. The balloon is connected with the ground oy telephone. It is supplied with searchlights and special observation glasses of great power.
 Should a Spanish fleet appear any where off this part of the coast, the first discovery would probably be from the balloon. Capt. Allen said yester- l day that he thought it would be week before the balloon would be ready for it's trial

THE POPE FOR PEACE.
But He Admits That Cuba Has Ceased
 to Belong to Spain.

London, April 19.-The Rome cor respondent of the Daily Mail says: L'Italia, the organ of the foreign office, published tonight the following: "The powers are on the eve of taking new step, namely, requesting the United Stadtes and Spain in the event Of a war to localize the hostilities to Cuba and the neighboring waters.
 This step will be taken after dec 1aration of war. Utter pessimism pre- vails in diplomatic quarters here, the Vatican alone being hopeful of peace. The pope is working energetically to be accepted as arbitrator, but he ad- mits that Cuba has already morally ceased to belong to Spain.
