Clara Barton Draws q Pitiful Pic
ture OF Suffering in Cuba.
New York, Aug. Am article by Miss
Clara Barton on the subject of the Gu
ban reconcentradoes Will be contained
in the next number of the Independent.
Miss Barton says that there are now
in Cuba $4,000 destitute orphan children
of reconcentradoes who have died in
the last few years of starvation and
want. These children are not of low or
doubtful origin, many being from the
best Cuban families. The reconcentra-
does were largely country people of
property.
Miss Barton says:
THE Cubans are not responsible for
the restitution Of these children. When
the starving reconcentradoes We're driv-
en- into the towns the residents divided
clothing and food with them, but there
was point at which they had to stop
giving.
"Only for the Cuban rations distrib-
uted by our army it would be sorry
lookout for those helpless little ones.
They range in number from 40 to 100 in
various towns, utterly homeless, and no
one has the least personal interest in
them or responsibility for them. The
ltownspeople will still do what they can,
but their main dependence is begging
from the passengers of every passing
train.
To one who knows only ordinary
conditions of poverty and restitution,
the aspect Of these children is often ter
rifying. 1t was a subject for both hui
man and medical study, and together

nurses thought out and wrote out a

Washington. Aug. DIR. Charles U.
Shepard, in charge of the experimental
tea garden at Summerville, 8. c., made
a report to the secretary Of agriculture.
He says fifty acres of land are under
tea cultivation. Three thousand pounds
were sold last year at a profit of rs per
cent. It is estimated that when all the
plants now growing arrive at maturity
they will yield 10000 pounds annually.
The quality of the tea proved satisfac-
tory. OF the black tea he says: 1T has
a distinctly characteristic flavor, and
like some of the choicer oriental teas,
it's liquor has more strength than its
color indicates" The green tea. he says,
attracted keen interest in trade and
among consumers, and he adds: "Orien-
tai teas can hardly furnish the like in
this country"

The steamer Volunteer brought in
about fifteen tons. or nearly two car
loads, of shells last night for Muscatine

large load, yet there is nothing espe-
cially unusual in the fact except that
those shells come from one of the rich

new discovery just below Burlington.
Though very few people are aware
OF the fact, the best mussel shell mime
along the Mississippi, excepting the big
bar at New Boston, is located at that
point near Burlington.
For the past two weeks there has
been camp of clam diggers located be-
low the Burlington bridge, and they
have been quietly scooping out ton af-
ter ton of shells. About dozen men
are employed in the work and they app
parently have a steady job on hand for
months.
The big bed is located in Phillips
slough, two miles below Burlington,
and it is said to be one of the largest
deposits along the Mississippi. Other
places along the shore for a distance
OF several miles are good mussel shell
fields, and it may be but a short time
until the camps are as large as those
OF New Boston, this city and other up-
river points.

SLIGHT DAMAGE REPORTED.

lSiOux city tribune, 1st.1
The effects of the heavy storm which
struck Sioux City about midnight last
night were felt more or less severely
along the railroads running into this
city. Heavy rains are reported all
along the Milwaukee with considerable
wind. The small grains are somewhat
damaged, and little OF the corn is
down. but the damage to the small
grain was not sufficient to materially
AFFECT the harvest. and the corn was
on the whole decidedly benefited by the
rain. Considerable of the small grain
was already cut, and there is very lit
tie SO badly lodged that it can not be
harvested. Reports along the Short
Line show lots of rain, and some of the
small grains which are still uncut are
badly down, but the rain was a great
help to the corn. The Illinois Central
reported some little damage to crops
and number of their wires were blown
down, but aside from that no damage
was done. There were no serious wash
outs on any of the lines, and most of

sr1cKNEY TO THE FRONT.

President Stickney, of the Chicago
Great Western Railway Company has
been brought into fresh prominence by
the announcement that the Chicago
Transfer Clearing Company, capital s4,
100000, has been organized to put
through his plan for freight clearing
tracks. stock yards and warehouses at
Stickney, in the town of Lyons south Of
Chicago. The original company began
work years ago but left it unfinished
for variety of reasons. Last year
$4,000 cars of freight entered and left
Chicago and 1t Is estimated that 5000
wagon loads Of freight We're hauled
through the streets of Chicago daily at
great expense for switching, teaming,
storing and otherwise handling. 1t is
proposed hereafter to transfer all
through freight at these clearing yards
and TO erect warehouses where Chicago
merchants may store incoming freight
until it is needed for shipment west.
Thus time will be saved as we'll as mon
ey.
Mr.. Stickney years ago was justice
of the PEACE at Saltwater. MINI. Then
he became lawyer and by some means
became interested in the Minneapolis &
ST. Louis railroad. After saving that
road from bankruptcy he built the Min
nesota & Northwestern and developed
the now extensive Chicago Great West

pei of concentration to railroad men.

Chief of Police Martens states this
year has been freer from the tramp nui-

fact is largely due to the establishment
OF good stone yard and the generos-
ity shown by the city to furnish all
tramps who strike here an opportunity
to earn their board during their sojourn
and at the same time do the city
service. There Is no other city along
the river which has provided better
facilities for caring for tramps and

Not to be outdone by the passenger
men the freight departments of the St.
Paul Chicago lines have started a lively
little rate war Of their own range cattle.
A few weeks ago, when the movement
of cattle began from the West, it was no.
tIced that the Milwaukee road captured
more than its share of the business which
aroused suspicion among the Milwau-
KEGS competitors. An investigation fol-
lowed, after which one of the lines cut
the rate on range CATTLE, Minnesota
Transfer to Chicago, down to 10 cents per
100
This deduction was promptly met by the
other Chicago roads, including the Mil
waukee line. The cut however. does not
seem to have helped matters, for the Mil
waul1ee's competitors for the road, ac-
cording to its competitors, is still getting
away with a large per cent of the bust
ness.
It is rumored that the Burlington road
IS taking steps to cut the present rate
in half making a rate of cents per &c.,
which is ruinously low. 1t is asserted
that the Burlington freight officials are
suspicious that the Milwaukee is not liv-
ing up to the present rate, but is making
secret quotations to the cattle shippers.
This cannot be proved, and the Burling
ton is going to settle the matter by cut
ting the rate SO deep that the Milwaukee
cannot so down below it unless at a loss
on every animal shipped.
