LICKED INTO BEING CLEAN.
Harsh Measures Are Employed by Street
Cleaners At Santiago.

Washington, December 22.-Robert r.
Porter, special commissioner of the Unit
ed States to Cuba and Porto Rico. has re-
turned from Santiago and has submitted
his report to the Secretary of the Treas
ury.
While in Porto Rico, Mr.. Porter hold
public hearings and all persons interested
in the welfare of the island were invited
to submit statements and give oral testi-
Emony. The chamber of commerce, repre-
senting the commercial and industrial
interests of the province responded.
The disagreeable smells of the typical
Cuban city, Mr.. Porter says, are less
prominent in Santiago. while white wash.
lime. fresh paint and all sorts of disin-
feotants have deodorized the surrounding
atmosphere and made the old town quite
habitable.
The streets are no longer used as sewers
and the individual who violates the law
and escapes the sanitary commissioners
whip is compelled to work on the streets
for the city for 80 days. This official,
Major Barbour, with 1876 men dressed in
white and 80 good United States mule
teams and carts, having dug out from the
streets of Santiago the filth OF ages, AZ
now able to keep them absolutely clean.
Every day by the aid of petroleum the
garbage of the city is burned. The work
ct sanitation is not confined to the streets,
but extends to the dwelling houses, shops
and buildings of all kinds. To accom-
pllsh this, however, the doors of houses
had to be smashed in and persons making
sewers Of the thoroughfares were pub
licly horsewhipped. Eminently respects
able citizens were brought before the
commanding general and sentenced to aid
In cleaning the streets they were in the
habit of defiling. The campaign has end
ed in a complete surrender to the sanitary
authorities and the inhabitants of Santi-

Macon, Ga. December 22.-Priyate
Turner of the 9th Virginia regiment was
not and killed by q. A. Thrower, a
street car conductor, today. Turner, very
drunk, boarded Thrower's car and used

Throw er pulled him out of the car to the
rear platform. Turner threatened his life
and started for him with a knife, when
Thrower shot him in the mouth, the
wound resulting fatally in l5 minutes. A
crowd of negro soldiers and civilians soon
gathered and swore vengeance on Throw
er and all street car conductors.
One conductorawas chased several blocks
by the negroes. Guards have been placed
on all cars on the line leading to the
negro camps, and tonight the camp IS
under strong guard to prevent an OUT
break on the part of the negro soldiers.

stopped one of the gamiest fights ever
seen here in a long time.

BEAUTIFUL HOMES.
The Tendency of the Age Is Toward
 Mural Decorations.

Probably at no time in the world history has as much attention been paid to the in terior decoration of homes as at present. No home, no matter how humble, is without it's handiwork that helps to beautify the apartments and make the surroundings more cheerful. The taste of the American people has kept pace with the age, and almost every day brings forth something new in the way of a picture, a draping, a piece of furniture or other form of mural decoration One of the latest of these has been given to the world by the celebrated artist Muvllle, in series of four handsome porcelain game plaques. Not for years has anything as handsome in this line been seen. The subjects represented by these plaques are American Wild Ducks, American Pheas- ant, American Quail and English Snipe. They are handsome paintings and are es- peelally designed for hanging on dining room walls though their richness and beau ty entitled them to a place in the paror of any home. These original plaques have been purchased at a cost of $50,000 by J. c. Hub- finger Bros. Co.,, manufacturers of the cele- brated Elastic Starch, and in order to enable thelr numerous customers to become posses. sors of these handsome works of art they have had them reproduced by a special process, in all the rich eolors and beauty of the original They are finished on heavy cardboard, pressed and embossed in the shape of a plaque and trimmed with heavy band of gold. They measure forty inches in circumference and contain no reading matter or advertisement whatever.
 Until September lst Messrs. T c. Tubing. CT Bros. Go. propose to distribute these plaques free to their customers. Every pur- chaser of three ten.cent packages of Elastic Starch, fat-iron brand, manufactured by J. C. Hubnger Bros Go, is entitled to receive one of these handsome plaques free from their grocer. Old and new customers alike are entitled to the benefits of this offer. These plaques will not be sent through the mail, the only way to obtain them being from your grocer. Every grocer store in the country has Elastic Starch for sale. It is the oldest and best laundry starch on the mar ket and is the most perfect cold process starch ever invented. It is the only starch made by men who thoroughly understand the laundry business, and the only starch that will not iniure the finest fabric. It has beten the standard for quarter of a century and as an evidence of how good it is twenty two million packages were sold last year. Ask your dealer to show you the plaques and tell you about Elastic Starch Accept no substitute. Bear in mind that this offer holds good a short time only and should be taken advantage of without delay.

Snake Kills Valuable Dog.

The valuable and renowned bulldog His Nibs." owned by J. Pierpont Nor gan, of New York, is dead. The dog was the pet of the family, and, aI- though valued at $3,o0o, could not have been bought for twice that. His Nibs was on the lawn when he was heard to yelp and spring into the air. He ran into the house and acted very wildly, and after snapping and tear ing everything within his reach took violent fit and expired within six minutes. The gardeners were unable to explain the cause til one was with in ten feet of where the dog jumped, when he found copperhead snake over six feet long. An examination of the dog found a bite on the right paw that had evidently been made by the snake.
