should Educate Their Cooks.

The greatest reform that can be in
augurated IN Cuba and Porto Rico is to
teach the natives how to cook decently,
said Mr.. o. L Robson, of New York, at
Chamberlin's
81 WIS on both islands during the war,
and | never came as near starving to
death in my life. The vile cooking OF
the country is more than a man used to
the good fare of the states can endure
Dishes delugea in oil and reeklng with
garlic nearly drove me crazy, and such
thing as fresh butter was unknown; the
rancid stuff imported in tins from Hol'
land being simply impossible.
Good food is eparable from high
state of civilization, and one of the first
results OF the Americanlzation of these
Islands should be the relegation OF Span
b cookery. Schools should be establish
ed wherein the benighted natives could
learn that there are more refined ingre
dients for the human stomach than garlic
and oil" ."-Washington Post.

Denver News this morning announcing
that Rev. w. R. Notman of this city had
been offered the pastorate of the Fourth

The church is very prominent one and

garding the fact that action has been
taken and regards the announcement as
premature. To Camera representative
he was unwilling to discuss the matter

tact that the offer had not been made to
him officially. A deacon OF the church,
however, stated in positive terms that he
did not believe DR.. hoffman would &C

DR.. hoffman during his few years SO

He said: ''The news papers may decry Hobson and speak evil of him, but he has the profound sympathy of my heart. Why, to kiss everything that comes along. from the old maid with moss on her lip to the gay widow: to kiss the old sister whose nose and chin are meeting: to Kiss the good, bad and indifferent. Gentlemen | like kissing, but 1 want to pick the time, place and case. Poor Hobson. He needs the prayers of the church and sympathy of his comrades.

An Honest Man.

A few weeks ago Francisco Gonzales was arrested for receiving money from the express company addressed to an other person, a woman named Fran cisca Gonzales. A few days later he took letter from the postoffice ad- dressed to the same person, and discov- ering that it was not for him he re- turned it. He learned from it though for whom the money was intended, and calling upon her he told her be would restore it as soon as he could earn ii. He was locked up on complaint of this woman, but at the trial was acquitted. It was shown that at the time he re- ceived the money he was expecting remittance and that the money was in a plain envelope containing no other inclosure or explanation. There was also evidence to prove that he was hon. est and industrious. Since then he has been working, and yesterday he had earned so much that he paid the wom- an the full amount that he had received in the envelope. Many man would have felt that his arrest and detention in jail, however brief, would have can celed any obligation to the accuser. Phoenix Republican.

NO ADVlCES FROM OTIS
Fear Expressed That he May Have had a
Setback.
No Doubt at the Department as to
His Ability to Effect the Cap
ture of Calumpit.

There is suppressed feeling Of disappoint-
ment at the War and Navy Departments
over the failure to hear from Gen. Otis to-
day regarding the operations around Ca
lumpit and the fear is expressed that he
may have met a setback which has so far
prevented the capture of Calumpit, to say
nothing Of the capture of the insurgent
army.
The resistance offered by the insurgents is
more effective than at any previous period
in the Philippine campaign and shows that
the rebels are a better military footing
than ever before.
1t is possible, however, that Aguinaldo
has decided to make his last stand at Ca
lumpit, and if it is ineffective, to practically
abandon the conflict and endeavor to make
favorable terms for surrender to the Amer
leans.
No doubt is felt as to the ability Of Gen.
Otis to effect the capture of Calumpit, but
whether by so doing he will destroy the in
surgent army is matter of some doubt.
The movements of Gen. Lawtons division
are still undetermined. Much of the sue
cess of the present campaign will depend
upon his arrival on the north of Calumpit
in time to cut off the retreat of the insur-
gent army.
If that is not accomplished the capture of
Calumpit may be as frutless in results as
was the capture of Pelo, where similar tao
tics were pursued.

From the New York Herald
Great interest is being taken by phvsi-
clans in the successful use of "eucafne" a
new anaesthetic, in an operation performed
i'll Bellevue Hospital, New York, on We'd
nesday. Not only was the new drug used
with entire satisfaction in a serious opera-
ton, but the success of the experiment is
full of promise for the future usefulness of
this new drug.
Because of the age of the patient and the
nature of the experiment fear was felt that
10 use the cocaine might be dangerous to a
degree. 1t was decided. therefore. to try
eucaine, and the test was so successful that
the patient retained full consciousness dur
ing an operation that lasted an hour. and
In which he often talked with the doctors
as he watched them at work
DR.. c. L. Pierce, one of the physicians
who assisted in the operation, said that the
new anaeSthetic was used in this case be-
cause II would reduce the danger of poi
caine usually was used for operations on
the hand, arm. foot or other parts of the
body where measures could be taken to
prevent the drug from getting into the pa
tents system But its use for operations
on the trunk of the body, he added had
been little attempted because of this dam
ger Eucaine. DR.. Pierce said seemed to
be much better adapted for this important
line of work, as it reduced the danger
greatly

Frank Dixon and other residents of Sea-
ton street, between L and and 18th and
18th streets, recently protested to the Dis
trict Commissioners against the alleged bad
condition of the thoroughfare. They stated
that the contractor engaged in the recon-
struction of the underground electric sys-
TEN of the Capital Traction Company on
L street is using the vacant property on
the side for dirt dump, making it higher
than the street, causing ponds of water in
the event of rain. The protestants have
been informed by the Commissioners that
within the past few days the street has
been surfaced for a greater part of its
length with the broken concrete base taken
from the railroad. The condition of the
street, it is further stated, does not show
cause for immediate action. Should ii de-
velop that stagnant water remains in the
roadway the depressions will be filed, the
Commissioners promise. The contractor, it
is stated, is acting entirely within his
rights in putting the material on the pri-
waite property adjoining the street.
