that by SO doing he will bring about
peace sooner and with a smaller expendi-

The Spanish press here continues to
look askance at the reforms in process

cate the introductio of English common
law rights and privileges in a community
which they declare is not educated up to

character and Cuban adaptability is not
shared by either the native or the Eng

Ihe clty's sanitary report for April
SHOWS only GIT deaths for that month.
For the four months of 1899 the total of
deaths is a little over 1000, indicating a
total. FOR the year Of perhaps 1000. This
ignores the possibility Of an epi-
demic Of yellow fever during the later
rainy season. Only two Deaths from this
disease are reported for April, whereas
tuberculosis was the cause of 102. The
death rate Of 1899 is so far less than hall
that Of 1898. This is a striking tribute

Luetgcrt Case Recalled.

Chicago, Feb. pa strange parallel
TO the Luetgert murder mystery was
brought to light to-day. Albert A
Becker, sausage maker, living in the
stockyards district, was arrested on
suspicion of having murdered his wife
January 9th. for the purpose of mar
rying younger woman.
Although the woman's body has not
yet been discovered. the police are in
clined to believe that she has been
murdered. Becker makes contradic-
tory statements. and blood spots have
been found on the walls and doors of
the barn in the rear of the Becker resi-
dence, together with lock of hair re-
sembling that of the missing woman.

More sleep, with more regularity in
taking 1t, is a prime need of our ex-
hausting modern life. People talk OF
giving a rest to their minds; but it is
not likely that the mind itself ever
tires The brain, or some overworked
tract OF it, may need repose; and it
seems a well-established physiological
fact that this central organ literally
undergoes repair and renewal during
sleep. The slowing down of the blood
permits the deposit of nutritive par
ticles, just as the slowing of a river
permits 1t to drop its sediment. There
is wisdom as well as wit in the Quix-
otic saying: blessings on him that
first invented this same sleep,"

In order to raise the money to build
a railroad the city of Paducah, KY,
issued municipal bonds for the neces-
sary amount. The issue was properly
authorized and promptly subscribed,
but when the interest became due, the
city attorney, having discovered a
technical error which made the bonds
legally worthless, ordered the city
council not to pay it. The business
men of the city Immediately took the
matter up THE good name of the
city is our good name they said.
when Paducah borrowed this money
she promised to pay for the use of it.
We owe il to the city, and to ourselves
as well, to see that the promise is
made good. A technical error does
not lessen our moral responsibility.
A meeting was therefore called and
committee appointed to raise the
money for the interest by public sub
scription. A city whose business men
maintain so noble a standard of civic
honor and duty as this deserves to
rank as one of the great cities of the
country, no matter what the figures
of the census report may say about the
number of her population.
