business grew success. fuiiy. Several

was strengthened by the addition of
new, young blood, in adding to the

business men, Mr.. b. +. Arthur, Of
the firm of Sartor e. Arthur, and Mr..
Geo. II. Oetzel who had been in the
service Of the old firm for some years
as book keeper. Later Mr.. Wilkins
sold his interest to the others and
since the firm name has been A. III :.
Foster Il Co., well known as The Old
Reliable.
BY indomitable push and close at
tentiou to business this firm has
steadily grown until the one floor
formally used was found inadequate
to hold the stock and another was

curious story comes from Rutland
Massachusetts. 10 the effect that a State
sanitarium for consumptives in that State
is conducted on the principle of plenty of
cold air and absolute cleanliness-no other

tories where the air is barely above freez-
ing point and the windows are all open
for six inches or more. During the recent
gale the snow drifted in on the beds of
many Of the patients, yet no one took cold
IL is said that thus far the treatment is
apparently successful. although the insti-
tuition has been in existence only FIVE
months.
The idea of ordinary people in regard TO
the treatment of consumption is that the
patient shall be kept as warm as possible
and protected from all draughts In this
hospital, on the contrary, he stays out of
doors most of the time and enjoys the in
vigorating breezes which sweep over the
verandas, for Rutland is up among the

The treatment seems queer enough on
The face of it, but after all sun and air

they are allowed free access. 1t may be
argued that consumption has always been
particularly common in New England.
where the air is certainly cold enough dur
ing most Of the year TO satisfy an Eskimo,

4 Hobo Republic.

As II II were not enough that United
States troops are fighting insurgents in
the Philippines and feeding insurgents in
Cuba, it now appears likely that we shall
have an insurgent government even within
the borders of the thirteen original States
Ii is reported that seventy tramps have
established a republic in the Barnum ISL
and Poorhouse, Nassau county, New York.
and refuse TO be dispossesSed
The state of affairs is this: Nassau
county wishes to abandon the almshouse
and turn the tramps adrift on the ground
that they are able to work. The super
yisors have been advised that they cannot
starve out the insurgents, and they had
lately TO send them wagon load of bacon
and beans. One of the tramps was hailed
before the justice of the peace and
charged with being a homeless vagrant.
but the accused declared that he was not
homeless, having the best suite of rooms
in the almshouse. Then he demanded
jury trial. and there being no jury to be
had except tramp jury the court gave I'D
the fight. The tramps state their case in
this way:
We are worthy tramps, who are fighting from
principle the cause of American liberty We
cannot be imprisoned, because we are not Grim

duces a chilly feeling which causes the
Inhabitants, without much thought, to hud-
die round stove. 1t is extremely diff
cult to heat a house in that climate so that
it will be warm enough for person who
does not take much exercise, and this leads
to the shutting up of doors and windows,
so that the air is anything but healthy.
Many farmers wives are occupied almost
wholly in the house and there is no way
in which indoor labor can be made 10 take
the place of work in the open air. Hence
these women are gradually weakened by
overwork and lack of proper exercise, and
the result is consumption, which is handed
down TO their children, both boys and girls
In the old days of blazing wood fires out
door occupation, much dairy werk, and
poultry raising. and long walks to and
from the village, there was not so much
consumption in New England, but now that
the fireplace has been replaced by the air
tight stove, and there is little market for
fowls or butter. the different conditions
of life result in disease. That may eX-
plain the apparent contradiction. At any
rate. whether consumption can be cured
by cold air and sunshine or not, there is
no doubt that life of active, out-of-door
work helps TO prevent consumption, and a
number of other diseases as We'll.

DEWEY,S WORK.
Regarded as BusinessIike by Admi-
raj COIemb, of EnErand

London, March 9.-Lecturing on THE
fore the United Service Institution yester-
day Vice Admiral Colomb (retired) said:
Regarding the purely tactical questions
involved, it is plain that Admiral Dewey
took full advantage of the superiority OF
his guns and gunners and placed himself IN
so distant position that neither the Span
ish ships nor the Spanish batteries were
able TO adequately reply to his fire.
The whole thing was terribly business
like on the American side, with a pathetic
parade of Quixotic gallantry on the other. "
After dealing with the impossibility OF
secrecy in warfare hereafter owing TO the
vigilance OF the press and the necessity
for protecting cables in shallow water, he
added:
IF Spain had shown real comprehension
of strategy think the United States would
not have been so successful.
The sure way for the United States
would have been 10 send a sufficient force
to the coast OF Spain to balance the forces
known TO be in Spanish ports and to send
a squadron to the Cape Verde Islands the
moment il was known a Spanish fiotila
was assembling there. And if the island OF
Minorca had been seized as a base, nothing
offensive ON the other side Of the Atlantic
NOulu nave DGCu dJttLHplSl Dy spain
The lesson TO be deduced is that AmeTi-
can strategy was hazardous in so far as ii
departed from the stereotyped rules of na-
val war. Admiral CeryeTa's 5 ships were
lost sight of causing anxiety on the Ameri-
can coasts. and the Americans kept con-
siderable sqGadTons wholly in a defensive
attitude instead of maintaining command
of the sea.
1T is clear that if there had been coal
supplies at Santiago. and if Admiral Ger
vera's squadron had been reasonably eff
cient instead of a miserable abortion, all
it could have proposed TO effect by enter
ing Santiago might have been effected
without any interference by the United
States navy. From the actions of the
Spanish forts the American ships deduced
the idea that their very inefficient batteries
were able to keep the ships a a distance.
In conclusion. Admiral Colomb comment
ed upon the fact that all orders 10 the
American ships were sent from Washing
