WHAT cUBANs NEED.
Articles That Are Most Required in the
Relief Work.

Washington, Jan 2.-The following
announcement regarding the work Of
the Cuban relief inaugurated by this
government has been made from the
state department.:
I'm view of the steps now being taken
by the secretary of state for the organ
ization in New York of a central head
quarters, with the cooperation of the
American National Red Cross for the re-
ception and forwarding of relief for the
suffering people of Cuba, and the prob
ability that it will be in effective opera
ton early in the present week, the sec
rotary of state has directed that the be-
nevolently disposed public of the United
States be informed, through the medium
of the press that the consul general of
the United States at Havana mentions
the following articles as appropriate to
be contributed;
Summer clothing for women and
children; medicines for fevers, principal
ly quinine; hard bread, flour, corn meal,
bacon, rice, lard, potatoes, beans, peas,
salt fish, any canned goods, meat ex-
tracts, blankets, and especially large
quantities of condensed milk, as many
persons are at first too feeble for any
other nourishment
Contributions of money are also ur-
gently needed to enable the purchase of
immediate supplies of medicines and ar
ticles Of prime necessity, and to meet
the expenses OF local transportation in
Cuba. The consul general to whom all
supplies and money will be sent, will at
once organize arrangements for the re-
ceipt, storage and most effective distri-
button Of whatever he may receive from
the humane people of the United States.'

Here is a true enough dog story. Among
Tom Ford's chums were several ineorrigi-
BILE foragers When Gen. Lowell H. Rous-
seau, the gallant Kentuckian, commanded

foraging. One day he saw Ford's chums
carrying a dressed sheep to camp. An aid
was directed to arrest the foragers and
march them to his side. you have been

a young butcher Gle was about to collide

Nonsense! Take that mutton to my
headquarters and go to your camp, .

AS on the previous occasion, the mutton
was sent to the generals mess and eaten
by him and his staff. A few. days later,
through camp, the men in Ford's company
parked like so many Newfoundland dogs.
This nettled the Kentuckian, and he de-
manded of the captain to know what it
meant.

upon the colonel the fact that Union
Church was ready to receive the In

would be brought before the standing
committee Of the church and personal
note sent to Col. Bartlett.
After the departure of Mr.. Muzzeyl
Col Bartlett said the Indians were given
seats of honor IN fremont Temple, Bos-

Baltimore they were invited to the
residence of Cardinal Gibbons, who en-

places they have met with similar cour-

A reporter took look at the Indians
while they were eating at the Exchange,
They were as decorous as white men,
reading with ease the bill of fare and
giving their orders with intelligence.
Before leaving the reporter noticed a
liberal sprinl<ling Of Union Church cal

be purely yacht, The general design
will follow pretty closely on that of the
present yacht, but the new one will be
propelled by screws instead of paddle
wheels. 1t will be three hundred and
eighty feet long between perpendiculars,
so feet BEAM and Is feet draught, and
have a displacement of four thousand
six hundred tons. The engines will be
of the triple-eXpansion, four-cylinder
type, with four cranks.
There will be two sets of driving twin
screws, and steam will be supplied from
eighteen Belleville boilers. The engines
have been designed to develop eleven
Thousand horse power on trial of eight
hours duration, with speed of twenty
knots The yacht win be built of steel,
with every possible care as regards sub
division arrangements, so as to prevent
any possibility of sinking in case of col

From the New York Evening Post)
The oldest commercial institution in
this city is the New York Chamber Of
Commerce. which resulted from a
meeting of 20 merchants in Faunce's
Tavern, on April S, 1858. A charter was
obtained from King George through
Gov. Golden, dated March 13, 1T70 the

war of the rebellion, but it was reincor-
porated by a special act of the New
York legislature, April 10, 1884, and was
reorganized April 20, 1884, by the 40
corporators mentioned therein, with
John Alsop as its president.
To the chamber of commerce belongs
the credit of first suggesting the con-
struction of the Erie canal, and in all
matters pertaining to the commercial

than 100000 for charity, and as was
said at one of its recent annual meet

party holds the reins of government.
the chamber is bound by tradition and
precedent, in all matters of state and
national legislative relations to com
merce and industry, to promote good
laws, to amend imperfect laws, and to
defeat bad ones.
From twenty members at the time of
its organization the chambers member

LAWS AcAINsT WoMEN.


One of the Most fragrant Cases o.
Injustice Cited.
The law which makes the nationality
of wife depend on that of her hus-
band has worked much hardship in this
country as well as abroad. But one OF
the most fragrant cases of injustice
arising from this humiliating status is
cited by Agnes z. Cook as occurring at
Gibraltar, the British military station
ON the Mediterranean.
No alien can live in Gibraltar without
q special permit, SO if British girl mar
ries Spanish subject she passes out
with him to live in Spain and neither
she nor her children, even though she
be a widow, can return. Her male rel
atives can marry Spanish wives and
take them into Gibraltar, but she is an
alien forever. The case referred to is
that of British girl who married a
Spaniard named Garzon. He was sufii-
GENTLY useful to the British to be al
lowed to live there by special permit.
Last year he died, and it would have
seemed very proper for his widow to
have remained with her parents in Glib
raitar, who were very anxious to make
n home for her and to have her with
them. Her baby was born five days
nfter her husbands death, and the au-
thorities generously allowed her to re-
main with her mother until she had
somewhat recovered from her illness.
Her mother by her entreaties OBJ
tanned from the police an extension oil
this time for ten days, but then the
poor young woman, in enfeebled health
and without means of support, was
obliged to quit the garrison. 1t takes
an individual outrage like this to show
the possible and legitimate outcome OF
the unjust discrimination against the
married woman. If men had DELHI
trately planned how they could keep
self-respecting women out Of the mar
rage condition they could not have de-
vised any measure worse than the dis
abilities which law has heapesl upon
woman in marriage Woman's Signal.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

We cannot see the sun itself; we see
,nly the cloud of vapor that covers it,
like the mantle of Welsbach burner.
Pof. Elmer Gates, of Washington,
has recently improved the performance
of the microscope, and it is now posi-
bic for the human eye to see an object
magnified 100000 times. Heretofore
10000 has been the limit.
The sun consists of three parts, the
central portion, or nucleus, which is
gaseous, but rendered viscous under the
enormous pressure and high temper
azure, the philosophers of incandescent
metallic vapors, and the corona, which
Is only observable during the time of
total eclipse.
OF the 100000 square miles of Cam
ada there are between 100000 and
2,000,00 of square miles which win
produce neither cereals nor forests of
a commercial value. OF this territory
there Is tract of 100000 square miles
inhabited by fur-bearing animals, and
known to the Indians as the bare and
treeless plains, or the barren lands.
The working of a plan of ventilation
of rooms devised by DIR. Castaing, prin-
cipal physician of the French armies,
is highly commended. Itconsists in the
use of double windows, with openings
at the bottom of one and at the top of
the opposite one, through which the
air comes in freely without anyone feel
ing 1t. The system is said to possess
simplicity, efficiency and cheapness.
According to the recent calculations
of Prof. j. c. Kapteyn, of Amsterdam,
5000 miles day is the velocity with
which the sun and its planets are speed
ing through space in northerly direc-
ton. The brightest star in that part
of the heavens toward which we are go
ing is the brilliant Vega, in the constel-
lation Lyra, sun unquestionably much
greater than ours Every year, by Prof.
Kapetyn's estimate, we draw some $780,.
00O,0 miles nearer to that star.
