How IL Affects tho Mortality of Cities
Suffering from sunstroke.
1t Will not now be difficult to I'M
derstand in what manner high temper-
ature affects the public health of large
cities, Evidently In the direct action of
heat upon the human body we have
the most powerful agency in the pro-
duction Of our great summer mortal
ity While sunstroke represents the
maximum direct effect Of solar heat
upon the human subject, the large in
crease of deaths from wasting chronic
diseases and diarrhoeal affections. OF
children under one year of age and
persons upward of 70 years of age,
shows the terrible effects of the pre-
vailing intense heat Of summer upon
all who are debilitated by disease or
age and thereby have their "heat-reg-
ulating power" diminished. The fact
has been established by repeated ex-
pertinent that when solar or artificial
heat Is continually applied to the ami
NAL the temperature of its body will
gradually rise until all of the COM
pensating or heat-regulating agencies
fail to preserve the equilibrium, and
the temperature reaches a point at
which death takes place from actual
combustion. In general, tempers-
ture of 1O7 degrees f. in man would
be regarded as indicating an unfavora-
BILE termination of any disease. In
persons suffering from sunstroke the
temperature often ranges from 1O6 de-
grees F. to 11O degrees f., the higher
temperature appearing just before
fatal termination. Popular Science

CHAPTER XXI.
| Rescue the Mate.

Pale as marble, with his lower jaw
relaxed and his eyes almost closed,
motionless as II dead, but, nevertheless,
still breathing slowly and heavily, poor,
Marc Hislop lay in his bed, the clothes
and pillows Of which were saturated
with blood, for he seemed to be COW
cred by wounds, and the crimson cur
rent had flowed over the piles OF his
favorite books, which were scattered
upon the cabin floor, where they had
been trod under foot by Antonio while
overhaulng the repositories of the un-
fortunate proprietor.
Shuddering, and in haste, we lifted
him from the bed, mufIled him in a
blanket and conveyed him, passive as
a child in our hands, from the cabin.
AS we passed our, for moment It
seemed as II the rufllanly Spaniard re-
pented Of his temporary clemency; for
when he saw the pale, bloody and in
sensible form Of the poor fellow trailed
past he made an ominous stride to-
ward us, and threateningly clutched
the haft Of the Albacete knife in hisl
sash. Then waving his hand almost
contemptuously, he said: -
"Basta-go, go-it matters little now,
either to him or to me. Demonio! I.
always strike deep"
Alarm and pity endowed us with un-,
usual strength, and we bore the speech
less victim Of Antonio up the steep,
stair to the deck, where our crew, with
muttered oaths Of vengeance, and ex-
pressions Of commiseration, bore him
into the forepart Of the vessel. There
bed was made for him on deck; for
GOODNESS, an awning was rlgged over 1t,
and we had his wounds examined.
We found deep stab in the neck,
most dangerously near the jugular
vein; second In the breast, third
between the bones of the right forearm
and fourth in the left thigh; all had
evidently been dealt through the bed
clothes, and with a savage energy Of
purpose.

CHAPTER XXI.
| Confront the Cubano.

From the wild thoughts and fancies
which the horrors Of that early morn
ing, our strange situation, and my own
rather active imagination, were sug-
gesting, was reused by Ned Carlton,
who, on being relieved from the wheel,
came forward to the bows, where most
Of the crew were seated on the wind
lass, or were lounging against the bits,
specializing on what might turn up
next.
In an excited and impressive man.
ner, he reported that he had heard.
from time to time, the sound Of moans,
as from some one In great pain in the
cabin; that he believed that either the
captain or mate yet survived; and IL
we could get down by any means we
might be in time to save one or the
other II he was bleeding to death,
the victim could not last long-a little
time, and we should be too late!
This information increased our anx-
iety and greatly excited us.
Remembering the manner in which
Antonio first came on board-the mys-
terry of his being alone in the blood
stained boat-his dreams--the disap-
pearance of Roberts-the occurrences
OF the morning-and though last not
least, the rough treatment to which
the crew had subjected him on the
night we passed the line-none were
very willing to enter the cabin where
this savage Cubano, flushed with
brandy, bloodshed and ferocity, sat
with loaded pistols In his hands. But
all felt that something must be done;
that, while doubt remained, 1t
should be solved. and life so im.

"Yes, five by this watch" he added,
pulling out Of his fob a gold repeater,

moment, ! recognized to be mine, the
same which my mother gave me when

The boys came but not without great
fear and reluctance; and while Antonio
proceeded leisurely to make another
paper cigar, keeping his ears open for
every sound, and his black eyes fixed
keenly on us the while, we entered
the little stateroom Of Marc Hislop and
beheld sight which filled us with the
deepest commiseratlon and dismay,

According to Simon Henry Sage, the
frog does not hibernate in leaves or
the trunks OF trees, but In a dry hole In
the ground not likely to freeze. He
scratches the hole with his hind feet
and enters backward. Once inside,
there is apparently no trace of the fact
outside. Frogs found under frozen
leaves are stlll able to move about.
Mr.. Sage has found alternating frogs

Alabastine is a durable and natural
coating for walls and ceilings. 1t is
entirely different from all "kalsomine"
preparations. Alabastlne comes in
white or twelve beautiful tints, and Is
ready for use by adding cold water.
1t is put up in dry powder form in
five-pound packages, with full direc-
tions on every package. AlabastIne Is
handsome, cleanly and permanent. 1t
can be re-coated and retinted at slight
expense. Paint dealers and druggists

He Is Disgruntled Because Enough Notice
Has Not Been Taken of Him.

He Is Dfsgruntied because Enough Notice
Has Not Been Taken Of Him.
Havana, Jan. PA letter from Rem
edios says: General Maxine Gomez,
commandment chief Of the Cuban army,
has withdrawn to this part of the ISL
and He was not invited to be present
vana on Jan !, and he is now here nurs-
ing his feelings of alleged injury sus-
tanned at the hands of the United
States. AS salve to these injured feel
ings of neglect he has been receiving
the adulations of the Cuban populace
of the various towns through which he
has passed General Gomez remains at
the head Of the Cuban army. He con-
siders this to be his post until the army
Is paid off. The amount needed for this
purpose, according to the Cubans, Is
$40,000,000. which would give nearly ST.
600 to each soldier.
General Gomez will soon proceed to
Santa Clara. This city Is the capital of
the province, and was such a hotbed Of
Spanish sympathy during the Cuban
war that Cubans today, In their hour Of
victory, ignore the towns name and
have christened 1t Villa Clara. There
he will follow the same course as adopt-
ed in Remedies and Caibarien-namely,
the uniting of Spanish and Cuban in
terests for the Immediate establishment
of the Cuban republic and the further
ance and growth of the new united par
ty of Cuban independence. This idea is
already abroad in the province Of Santa
Clara and newly established Cuban
newspapers are taking 1t up and giving
1t guarded prominence.
General Gomez, as the head of the
Cuban army, occupies q position of i'm
portance and influence which should not
be underestimated. He has his enemies
and detractors in this same army but
the fact remains that he is the leader of
the one tangible thing the popu.ace of
Cuba today possesses upon which they
can shower the expressions of their Joy
and satisfaction over the departure of
the Spaniards If the army were dis

CHARGES AGAINST EAGAN.


Washington, Jan. "A. - The charges
and specifications upon which Commits
sary General Eagan is to be tried this
week have been given to the press. The
first charge is that of conduct unbe-
coming an officer and a gentleman, and
the specification is that Eagan, while
testifying as a witness before the COM
mission appointed by the president to
investigate the conduct of the war de-
partment submitted and read las a
part of his testimony a certain written
statement in which he did make use of,
and thereby publish, the following dis
graceful. grossly insulting and un-
gentlemanly language with reference
to Major General Nelson A. Miles COM
handing the army"
Here follows part Of General Eagan's
denunciation of General Miles in which
he repeatedly calls that officer a willful
liar. The second charge is that of con-
duct to the prejudice of good order and
military discipline. and the specifica-
ton Is another portion of Eagan's
denunSation of Miles.
The precise nature of Gen. Eagan's
plea to these cha, g-s and specifications
has not yet been determined upon So
far as the charges are concerned it Is
understood that General Eagan WI not
plead guilty to either o. them. A strong
legal contest is looked for in the pro-
ceedings before the court-ma rtial

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. prNKHAM.l

A woman with the blues is a very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
"the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and Is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. f. s. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter: ~
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
81 am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than /
have had for the past ten years. 1
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"

s-erators and Miners Agree on a Scale and
Go Home HapDy.

Pittsburg, Jan. 25.-Carnegie hall in
Allegheny rang with the hymn Amer
lea" last night in ratification of the
settlement of the wage differences.
which was effected between the coal
operators and miners TO the states of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania. The settlement means peace for
more than 100000 men and their en-
ployers, as far as the general issues are
concerned The sstll ment was reached
after one OF the most notable gather
ings in the history OF the indus ry The
leaders Of both SIDES made bitter fight.
and at times 1t look If there would
be split and chaos prevail n the great
industry. Last night every operator and
miner was in the best humor and all
left for their homes feeling glad.
The only soreness is with the block
coal interests of Indiana. William
FISHER, a block coal operator an
nounced that he desired to change his
vote, which had been in favor of adopt
ing the scale. The remainder of the
delegates decided that the settlement
should stand in spite of the protest.
Under the agreement the rates in In
diana Ohio and Pennsylvania will be
the same as at present For run of
mine coal the rate will be AZ 66-l00
cents ton, inch and a quarter screen
coal, Sc cents ton: drivers and out
side labor will receive the same wages
as at present, and eight hours will con-
stitute a days work. WIFE
In Illinois the run of mine system will
prevail. The machine different,al is TO
be arbitrated. The operators want a
fiat differential of 10 cents a ton, be-
tween pick and, machine. mining. and
the miners wanted 1t reduced to cents
The operators make the differential rs
per cent. OF the pick mine rate in favor
of machine-mined coal This rate will
be fixed however, by a board of arb-
tration, which will be composed OF the
presidents of the miners state organ-
cations in Indiana, Ohio and the Pitts
burg district and one operator from
each state. These six are to select the
