III army camps about completed the col.
lection of statistics and the members of
the board hope to have their informa.
tion charted and tabulated by the end
of July. This board was thought to
be the first that was ever appointed to
study the propagation of disease in
army camps by the history of the indi-
vidual regiments The board went fur
tiler, however, taking the company as
the unit and tracing the history of all
intestinal disorders and all cases of ma
laria and fever of every sort that ap-
peared on the sick report. Owing TO
the fact that some of the regiments
were alleged to be infected with typhoid
fever germs before coming to the large
camps, it was necessary TO trace their
history back to their state camps and
even to trace the history of individuals
before they entered the service.
The report will indicate that the
water supply had practically little to do
with the spread of typhoid. This is con-
trary TO all previous medical theory in
typhoid propagation, The appearance
and spread of the disease, the report
will say, indicates that it was transmit
ted through the atmosphere by the wind
carrying about dust containing the dried
germs of typhoid and by the agency of
flies. The report of certain British
medical officer with one of the British
expeditionary forces where there was an
epidemic of camp typhoid in spite of the
fact that the troops used only distilled
water will be quoted.

KAUTz'S ACTS APPROVED.
This Prevents Successful Move For DAM
ages, as Threatened by the
Germans.

WASHINGTON, June % - Admiral
Eautz reported his arrival aI San Fran
cisco by telegraph TO the navy depart
meat, but made no report on Samoan
affairs. This probably will be commit
fed TO the mails. His official superiors
are fully satisfied with his conduct
while at Apia The admiral retains
assignment as commander-in-chief of
the forces on the Pacific station, and
the Philadelphia will be retained in
commission, though necessary repairs
and docking will be made at once.
There was a disposition in all dlplo-
matte quarters concerned i'll Samoa to
accept the action of the high commits
sion as satisfactory, mainly because the
commission had been on the ground,
had heard all the evidence, and was
presumably best able to determine the
means of adjusting the many conflict
ing interests.
The secretary of state received dis
patch from the Hon. Bartlett Tripp.
United States commissioner at Samoa,
saying that peace had been restored in
the island; the commission had sus-
tanned the decision of Chief Justice
Chambers i'll the contested case of the
election Of the king; that Maietoa Tanu
has resigned; the kingship was to be
abolished and a provisional government
established.
Admiral Kautz's first action upon ar
irving at Apia was to decide that Chief
Justice Chambers must be maintained.
The commission having found that Mr..
Chambers decision was right, it follows
that the admiral's action was also cor
rect, and so the talk of preference of
claims against the United States for
damages resulting from his action will
come to nothin.

AN OLD .GORMANDIzER.
One Man VINO Lived That He Might
Simply Eat and Drink.


In little yeflowed English maga-
zine, dated April, 1904, came across
the following amusing scrap:
If the Duke of O. does not ex-
tend his life to a still longer period, it
will not be for want of culinary COM
forts and those other succulent arts
by which longevity is best promoted.
His grace's sustenance is thus daily
administered:
''At in the morning he regales in
warm milk bath, perfumed with al
mond powder, where he takes his
coffee and buttered muffin, and aft
erward retires to bed. He rises about
0 and breakfasts on cafe au lait, with
new laid eggs just parboiled; at IL he
is presented with two warm jellies
and rusques; at he takes n veal cut
let a la Maintenon; at jellies and
eggs repeat; at a cup of chocolate
and rusques; at 7:30 he takes a hearty
dinner from high seasoned dishes, and
makes suitable libations of claret and
madeira; at 10. tea, coffee and muf-
fins; at II sups off roast poulet, with
a plentiful solution Of lime punch; at
l in the morning he retires to bed in
high spirits and sleeps till 5, when his
man cook. to the moment, waits upon
him in person with hot and savory
veal outlet. which, with potation of
wine and water. prepares him for
further repose, that continues gener-
ally uninterrupted till the morning
summons to his lacteal bath.
"In this routine of living comforts
are tile four and 20 hours invariably
divided: so that if his grace does not
know. with Sir Toby Belch. that our
life is composed of four elements he
knows at least. with Sir Ague Cheek,
that it consists in eating and drink

Ager, president of the Maryland state
grange, Patrons of Husbandry, was be.
fore the industrial commission as wit
ness. He said that trust among the
farmers such as was suggested by Mr..
Havemeyer was impracticable owing to
the difficulty of getting the farmers 10
hold up prices. Speaking OF colored
labor, he said it was unreliable because
of the natural Incidence and indifer-
ence of individuals of the race. Liquor
he regarded as the great bane of that
people and responsible for nine-tenths
of the crimes committed by them.
Mr.. Ager considered the condition OF
the average farmer as worse than it
was 20 years ago, but he believed money
invested in farming safer than in other
lines of business. He attributed the
number of abandoned farms in the
states to the fact that they were owned
by non.residents.
Mr.. Ager said the grange was not so
prosperous i'll point of numbers as for
merly, and he attributed the falling off
largely to the fact that the grange
could not be used i'll politics.
L. w. Youmans of South Carolina
occupied the witness stand during the
afternoon session. He said the agricult-
ural interest of the south was greatly
depressed and he attributed the depres-
sion to the fact that silver was not rec
ognlZed as a money metal. He said
there had not been an increase of the
volume OF money to correspond with
the increase of population. AS con-
sequence there had been general de-
E
ing to develop his views upon this point
when Major Farquhar made point of
order against the character of the testi-
mony and the point was sustained.
Mr. Youmans also favored lower

STRIKE WAS NOT SETTLED.
Acceptance of Terms by Their
Committee.

CLEVELAND, June 23.-The hope of a
settlement of the street railway strike
was shattered when the strikers. at q
meeting rejected by unanimous vote
the proposition submitted by the COM
pany to the special committee of the
city council and to which the strikers
committee had agreed.
The proposition of the company
stated that it was ready and willing, to
take back into its employment, such of
its employees as its business demanded,
aggrcgatlng at the present time so per
cent OF such employees, and as vacan-
cies occurred would give preference to
such former employees, excepting always
those that had committed unlawful
acts against the company, its property
or employees during the presentlstrike.
1t was generally believed, after the
conference of the representatives of the
company and the committee of the
si.ikers was concluded. that the end of
the str,k. would come, and the action
of the strikers came as surprise. After
rejecting the proposition of the COM
rauy the strikers began the work of
drawing upa proposition of their own.

WARM WELCOME AT COLOMBO.

COLOMBO, Ceylon. June 23.-An aide
de-camp representing the governor Of
Oeylon, Right Hon. Sir Joseph West
Ridgeway, boarded tine Olympia i'll or
der to welcome Admiral Dewey, and
Colonel Savage, commanding the
troops, called Later The visits were re-
turned by ADMIRAL Dewey. He was re-
ceived at the jetty by guard of honor
and, amidst cheering, drove in the gov
ernor',. carriage to breakfast with Colo
mel Savage. The admiral afterward
booked rooms at the Galloface hotel
and returned Oh board the Olympia.
There he received a deputation repre-
senting the Planters association and
the chamber of commerce and was pre-
sented with Il silver casket and an ad-
dress as d memento of his visit.
The presentation of the casket to Ad-
miral Dewey was made on board the
Olympia, instead of in the council
chamber, because his doctor had for
hidden him to participate in any Off
cial function.
The delegates also presented 1000
pounds of tea to the crew of the Olym-
pia.
The admiral, replying to the address
of welcome, said he wished he could
reply in adequate terms, reciprocating
the sentiments expressed. But, he adj
ded, he spoke from his heart when he
said he deeply appreciated the welcome.
Admiral Dewey added that he would
have the very acceptable present of tea
distributed as desired, incidentally men,

preserved. The casket, he remarked, he
would always keep on his table, and he
told the delegates that he would report
the matter to his government and de-
scribed the cordiality of his reception
Continuing, Admiral Dewey remarked:
"That cheer raised ON the jetty when I
landed went TO the hearts of all of us.
We are l 400 from home, but that cheer
will be heard i'll America, although the
way i'll which it has touched me l shall
never be able to fully express.
'The two nations were never SO
closely allied by mutual sympathy and
appreciation as now. The American
people realized this during the late war,
and you can imagine how all those who
were at Manila and met Sir Edward
Chichester commander of British
flrst-class cruiSer) and his gallant COM
radcs hold that feeling very deeply"
A general conversation followed and,
after toasting the s'Anglo-Saxon
Union" and the prosperity of the two
countries, the delegation departed.
Admiral Dewey now says it is i'm
probable that he will go to Handy and
that he misunderstanding i'll Colombo.
The admiral will remain in Ceylon
about a week. He said he had good
voyage from Singapore and that his
health was fairly good.

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
Find Out Which One of Your Feet
Walks the Faster.


Walks the Faster.
You may think this is very silly
question to ask, but is it? There is
no catch about it. 1t is simple, de-
monstrable fact which you can prove
to your own satisfaction in a very few
minutes.
If you will take any pavement that
is clear of other pedestrians, so that
there shall be no interference, and
walk briskly in the center, you will
find that before you have gone 100
yards you will have veered very puch
70 one side. You must not make any
conscious effort, of course, to keep in
the center, or you may do it, but if
you will think of something and en-
deavor to walk naturally it is 100 to 1
you cannot keep direct line.
The explanation of this lies in the
peculiarity of one foot to walk faster
than the other Or, to be more cor
rect, perhaps it should be said that
one leg takes longer stride than the
other, and this, combined with the
quicker movement, causes one to walk
more to one side than the other.
1t is well known, for instance, that
if one be lost in the woods the tend
ency is to walk in a circle and even
tually to return about to the starting
point. This demonstrates the fact also
that one foot walks faster than the
other
You can try an interesting expert
ment in this way if you will place
two stakes in the lawn about eight
feet apart and then stand off about
60 feet from them, allow yourself to
be blindfolded and endeavor to walk
between them. You will find it an al
most impossible task. because one foot
will go Il bit faster than the other.
