CUBA'S BILL OF HEALTH.
With Our Flag and Good Sanitation It
 Should Thrive.

Washington, July 24.-The Cuban campaign will doubtless result in many scientific inquiries into the pos sibility of driving the yellow fever permanently out of the island. The climate of Cuba is. of course, a stub born obstacle to it's sanitation. The persistent rains during the summer are especially productive of the eie- ments of the disease. The germs ripen and become virulent in the hot, moist atmosphere. It is also clear, however, that much of the disease in the island springs from the utter lack of proper sanitary precautions.
 The large cities are mainly, if not wholly. unsewered, and the filth is permitted to accumulate in streets or at best in rivers and harbors until it creates series of infection centers. The interior is provided with the meagerest of advantages for drainage and for rapid travel. The swamps are allowed to remain pestilence holes and the entire island is permitted by the lack of vigorous treament to become constantly growing storehouse of fever germs.
 American engineering can work mar vels with the swamps and the rivers and harbors. Drainage canals and ..ewers can be built that will greatly ameliorate the city conditions, while the swamps can be in Cuba, as they have been in the United States, trans formed from pest pools into fertile farms.
 By a rigorous system of sanitary regulations the people can be brought to regard the rules of health and to aid the authorities in their endeavors to stamp out the diseases that now frighten away colonists and reduce the inhabitants to the lowest level of hu-
 man comfort. The question yet un- answered is whether such works can accomplish the desired end of con- plete sanitation. Greater marvels have been wrought in this day of scientific discoveries and achieve ments. Mere serious obstacles have 1 been overcome.
 The goal in sight is attractive. There | is encouragement in the fact that there
 is every prosect that in the near future 1 the sluggish, indifferent, incompetent 1 Spanish official will be replaced by the active, intelligent American. In the 1 difference between these two races l probably lies the secret of success. If Uncle Sam can succeed as a. re- ! suit of this war in freeing Cuba oi two of the worlds grsates. plaques Spanish rule and yellow jack, he Will have rendered humanity service
 that it can never repay.

LOVE LED TO DEATH.
Suicide of MOrifZ ROSenber.
 ger Yesterday.
His Body Found on the Bank of a DifCh-A BiaCkened. Hole in His Forehead

Mcritz Rosenberger committed sui eide by shooting yesterday morning soon after 10 o'clock. The tragedy oc- cured near the residence of W. T. Barr about 200 yards from the Black canyon road, mile and a half from the city. The body was discovered by a man on his way to town, evident ly soon after the shooting. Justice Johnstone was informed and impanel- ing the following jury went out to the place where the body lay: Robert Grigsby, Ernest Ford, s. J. Darby. W. A. Moeur, George Bellis and John Bassett. Even when the jury arrived the body was still limp. It lay on it's back, the feet together, supporting the revolver by which Rosenberger had died. The weapon was a Smith & Wesson model, of 32-caliber.
 The suicide had braced the muzzle of the weapon against his forehead with his left hand and pulled the trig- ger with the right. This was shown in the circumstances that the thuxnh and forefnger of the left hand were powder burned and in the large pow der blackened area on the forehead Death must have been instantaneous for the ground at the feet had not bsen even slightly disturbed. The ground
 under the head and shoulders bcre | marks of a slight movement Of the body. The pistol was bloody, as was was left on the ground, a gruesome reminder of the Sunday morning trag- ! edy. The suicide had chosen shady

 who brought the word to town said tha1 when he found the body the face was covered with a handkerchief 1 There was none, though, when the coroner and jury arrived nor were there any footprints showing that any ole 1 had been near the spot.

 are mother, two brothers and mar
 ried sister, Mrs. Max Schneider, all
 residing in New York. They are said to be wealthy. A telegram was sent
 to Mrs. Schneider apprising her of ths ! suicide, but at a late hour last night
 no reply had been received. Rosen-
 berger came to Phoenix from New Orleans six years ago. The greater part of the time since then he has been
 employed at the Palace cigar store l Several months ago he set out on ar
 extensive tour embracing the whole
 northern part of the United States from New York to San Francisco. He
 returned about three weeks ago.

Lincoln Feared His Wife.

At recent dinner in Boston a form

characteristic of the man, as the coun-
try remembers him, to be unlike most

FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.
SOME GOOD STORIES FOR OUR
JUNIOR READERS,
.,For Ynlnr..,

'FOr Valor."
There never was an eiRht-year-oId
boy who found so many things to be
afraid Of as Allan Brent His brothers
and sisters laughed at him, his father
graVely shook his head, and even his
mother called him dear little coward !;
eut though he was ashamed OF him
self and often determined to be brave.
MS fears always proved stronger than
MS resolutions. There really seemed
no help for it till one afternoon when
his father sent him with message to
his uncle. Professor Brent.
While the professor wrote a note in
reply, Allan's attention was attracted
by small object on the library table.
1t was a Maltese cross OF bronze at
taehed to faded red ribbon. On the
cross was crown and a lion, and be-
meath these scroll, on which were
some letters. Allan was trying to
make them out, when his uncle looked
over his shoulder and asked, Can you
read it?"
For V-a-l-o-r," spelled Allan.
Yes, for Valor," said the professor.
DO you know what that means?"
ITO be brave?"
Eyes; courage; bravery: and this
medal is what is called a Victoria
cross; you can see the V just below the
clasp.
1t once happened during a war in
India, when town held by the Eng
fish was besieged, that one of their
ammunition-wagons exploded. They
had but scanty store at best. and
there was great danger that the flames
would spread to the other wagons. and
to make matters worse, the enemy
turned their guns against the spot to
keep any one from approaching.
THE lives Of helpless women and
children depended on that ammunition.
and yet 1t seemed as though nothing
could be done to save 1t, when a young
onicer with splendid courage dashed
forward, and while the shot from six
cannon fell around him, he tore apart
the burning mass and extinguished the
hre by throwing earth and water.
Strange to tell, he was not even wound
ed.
For this heroic deed he was given
the Victoria cross, which is presented
to English soldiers and seamen who
perform some act of valor in the pres
ence Of the enemy.

Americans must feel some disap-
pointment, since their country has long
been famous for its quickness and skill
In adopting mechanical and scientific
discoveries for business purposes, when
they realize that European cities are
far SURPRISING any Of ours in the use
of horseless vehicles. Until we have
better roads and better street pave
ments we must submit to the humilia-
ton OF being distaneed by Germany,
France and England in one of the most
interesting and important phases of
modern progress. 1t is one of the
penalties we pay for lnakeshift high
ways and for the folly which permits
the use upon them of destructive mar
row tires.

He glanced at the windows, but No
one was in sight. That poor baby
mamma had said 1t was very sick. He
went to the gate and looked through
yes, there on the porch he could see
Dion's brown coat; then something
seemed to whisper, For valor," and
the thought that he must not be I'M
worthy of his name cave him sudden
courage. He softly pushed the gate
open and made dash for the kitchen
door, which he thought offered the best
chance of escape from the dog.
For the lands sake!" cried Patsy
the cook, as the door flew open and a
small, frightened boy tumbled in.
1t happened that Miss Janet, the doc
tors sister, was there giving some or
ders, and it was she who soothed his
excitement and after sending off the
doctor, made him rest a few minutes
in her sitting-room.
Were you so frightened about the
baby?" she asked.
Miss Janet was a friend of Allan's
and moreover was the sort of person
to whom you find it easy to tell things,
so he confessed how afraid he was of
the dog, but how he had tried to be
brave.
She looked rather puzzled as she
patted the plump hand. II am glad
you tried to be brave" she said, "but
don't know how you could have seen
dog on the porch, for Dion went to
the country last week"
Allan was so certain that they went
to the side door to look, and when he
peeped cautiously out, there was DR..
Marvin's big bearskin rug thrown
down to air.
Adams face grew very red and his
eyes filled with tears after all he had
not been brave!
Miss Janet wouldn't let him run
away as he wanted to do, but kept him
and comforted him, and finally heard
all about the Victoria Cross.
"You were brave in spite of the fun
ny mistake" she said, land you will
have another opportunity some time,
so don't be discouraged"
Allan went home feeling little con-
soled. though still rather grieved.
Miss Janet knew the professor very
well, and from her he had the story.
The result was that he went to see his
little nephew few days later.
Il have a favor to ask OF you" he
said. Il am going away for several
weeks, and I want you to take care of
the Victoria Cross for me-
Allan's face glowed with pleasure.
You see," the professor continued,
I think you were truly brave the other
day. 1t is very common experience

"A most pathetic as well as one of the
most heroic incidents Of the war of the
rebellion occurred on the first day Of
the battle Of Gettysburg" said Judge
Thomas ]. Mackey Of South Carolina
a few evenings ago.
Lee never intended to give battle at
that point, where the Federals held
vantage ground, but was drawn into
the battle by question of shoes. This
last point may seem strange, but it is
nevertheless true. Pettigrew's North
Carolina division was barefooted and
got permission to go into the town of
gettysburg and get supply of shoes.
The soldiers there met federal force
and became engaged holly. Each side
REINFORCED heavily, and the battle
ended with decided advantage on the
part of the Confederates, who hold the
field.

gade was advancing, during the heat Of
the battle, he saw federal general ly-
