This was all done by employees of the

no one house in the United States where
all three can be done. The woodwork

The ornamenting is composed of sew

made separately the table represents a

ticle combining these three kinds of
Ornamenting was ever made before. It

Washington, Feb. 28.-The govern
ment officials here discredit the state
ment in the above dispatch that the
foreign warships are disem barking
troops at Manila. Spanish sources of
information, respecting affairs in the
Philippine islands, are not to be relied
upon, they say, as the press and peo-
pie of Spain do not hesitate to circu-
late statements inimical to the inter-
ests OF this country.
Such OF the dispatches reaching the
war department today from General
Otis that were made public were con-
fined to routine matters. while Secre-
tary Long said tonight he had not a
word from Admiral Dewey during the
entire day. General Otis has repeat
eddy stated in his dispatches to the
authorities here that he has the situa.
tion we'll in hand. and there is no rea.
son to believe he would have trouble
in keeping order at Manila, where the
cream Of his troops are stationed.

More than nineteen centuries after
Julius Caesar was stabbed to death
in the hall of Pompcius his ashes have
been found in their resting place IN
the Roman forum. beneath column
erected in his memory by Augustus.
Perhaps no one who was present when
the urn was placed beneath the marble
gave thought to the place that would
be accorded Julius in history twenty
centuries later. Most of them would
have accorded Augustus the higher
rank. This discovery, if authentic. is
more interesting than the recent UNI
carthing Of the black stone said to
mark the tomb of ROmulus, but which
Romulus failed to occupy. 1t Is not
impossible that Augustus also caused

situation at Manila, says:
There is constant fighting between

courage and stubbornness OF the latter
have caused great anxiety to the
Americans, who do not conceal their
belief that the war will be long and
desperate one. There is the greatest
alarm among foreigners in Manila, the

The fresh air ordinance recently
passed by the city board of health of
New Orleans suggests two observa-
tons: That it is peculiar of large part
of the American people to be negligent
in the regard of ordinary, though i'm
pOrtant, rules of health-sO negligent
in many cases that the necessity OF or
binary care must be forced upon them:
and, second that the law in the present
day is assuming much more RESPONSE
bility than 1t has in the past. The or
dinance passed by the New Orleans
health officials is an unusual one, in
deed, and, while the wisdom of its pro-
visions probably will not be questioned,
the question naturally suggests itself
whether it does not touch too closely
upon personal rights and privileges to
be enforceable in its entirety. The
fresh air" ordinance requires all
hOuseholders, whether owners or ten
ants, to open their rooms and freely
expose them to the sun and air, particu-
larly in cold, clear weather. The Board
of Health will send around inspectors
The New Orleans Picayune is in thor
ough sympathy with the movement. 1t
says: Let the people open up their
rooms and let the wind blow through
them. Such airing is one of the sim
plest, and at the same time one of the
most important and etficaciOus, meth
DDS of sanitation. Disease germs are
creatures of filth and foul air. The sun
and the winds of heaven are their
worst enemies. There are bedrooms in
this city where the sun never shines,
and where fresh air Is but little known.
Let them be opened up, SO that all evil
germs may he killed. BY so doing these
people will not only protect themselves,
but they will greatly contribute to the
general health of the city's population"
Fresh air is not appreciated as it should
be. There is no medicine that can do
as much for the human system. People
who are not sick need fresh air to keep
them well, and for those who are sick
there is no tonic like it. Because 1t Is
free, fresh air should not be despised.
Physicians say that lack of it causes
much of the disease in the world. 1t
should not then be necessary to pass
laws to force the people to take advan-
tage of this heavens gift. Goodness
knows there is no medicine that is as
agreeable to take. Then why sleep in
a tight closed bedroom, and why work
in a sealed up office? There should be
fresh air in the home, in the school.
room-everywhere. There is plenty Of
it for all.
