fully 5000 people infected With

1t has been contended by
by some authorities that lep-
rosy was not more contagious
than consumption. or typhoid,

this rapid spread of the infec-
ton among the Hawaiians
would indicate that it is of the
greatest importance to keep
it isolated.
The encanhpmeht of large
bodies of troops in the islands
opens a way for the introduc-
ton of the disease into this
country that never existed be-

ty or a fight to the death.


/ One reason why many Span
ards who at first favored an
nexation have now changed
their opinion is that they fear
the competition of American
rivals as storekeepers, flote
managers and restauranteurs
They are afraid that the Amer
leans. instead of coming to buy
out their establishments and
stocks at fabulous prices, based
upon the old Spanish duties,
will open shops next door I'M
port goods at low duties under
the new regime, ruin their bus
mess and reduce them TO pov-

Exactly the same spirit pre-
walls against the planters and
especially the smaller ones,
who had hoped to sell at good
prices the old French and
Belgian machinery for which
they paid dear and imported
under excessive duties. They
realize that the American syn
dicates will bring American
machinery much cheaper and
paying practically no duties.

of all such dreamers TO the
reality of the future of Amer
lean competition causes them
now to should loudly for Cuban
independence Under which they
would expect to enjoy the
blessing of lenient laws without
fear of active competition.
All this amounts practically
to a silent admission OF Cuba s
inability to offer, if lett to her
self. the guarantee of stability
that would induce foreign cap
ital to come here TO develop
the islands resources. The
deductions seem to be thus:
With Cuba independent no
foreign capital and no compe-
tition; with Cuba under amer
lean rule, a competition against
which the Cubans would not
have the energy or the power
to succeed.

"Baiieys Mistake
From the Troy Times.

HrVln the Troy Times.
The Post Office Department has on nu-
merous occasions insisted on changing the
names of offices, even when the natives had
no desire for such changes and protested
against them. If the Washington people
are so fond of choosing appropriate names
they should devote their attention exclu-
sively to those towns whose Inhabitants de-
sire relief. Such places are surely to be
found There is one, for example, up in
the far eastern corner of Maine. 1t now
rejoices in The name of Bailey's Mistake.
Baileys Mistake was named for Sam
Bailey, a coasting trader, who used to sail
into Lubec harbor as often as once a
month, the mistake part being added ar
the time of Baiiey's last voyage. so that
future navigators and geographers would
know whose mistake il was. There are two
waterways that lead up to Lubec from the
Atlantic ocean, one 2 wide and nayieable
snip channel and the other a wide and
rocky shoal that affords excellent pastur-
age Tor hounders and other fish of small
oratt About ten years ago Bailey was
oealing MS sloop up to the Lubec anchor
age, and took the wrong way He knew all
about the shoal water and the rocks and
had become so familiar with the course
that he paid no heed, presuming that his
Sloop could find her way without helm
There is where the mistake" came in for
trusting too much to the intelligence of his
Sioop, the craft went aground on the rocks
and was chewed to toothpicks before MORN
ing.
As nobody ever saw anything of Bailey on
MS crew, 1t is inferred that the fishes took
what there WAS left of them after the
waves had done their work From that
date the term "Bailey's Mistake was at
tached to this reach Of water and the land
on both sides of it, and now the coast sur
Ney charts have recognized the claims so
that Bailey's Mistake has become a geo.
graphical fixture.
