When Spanish Soldiers Go There VIII
Be Room for New Settlers.

Les1eS Weekly.
When the last Spanish soldier steps aboard
d transport bound for Spain there will be
left in cuba not more than a million in
habttants-30O,O 900 SpaniardS, 100000 Cubans,
and 100000 blacks One million people are
inadequate to the proper DEVELOPMENT of the
island resources. Cuba is as large as the
Island Of Java, in which $4,000 600 inhabitants,
under Dutch government, live in prosperity
and happiness. There is room and work in
Cuba, therefore, for at least another million
people-noW.
The man who arrives here in search of
employment must have money enough to
tide over the start. To arrive here without
money would be like seeking death. The
fare by steamer from New York is $45 first
Class, $2l second-class, and $15 steerage.
50 to 50 a day. But first-class room, with
electric light, body servant, and morning
coffee, can be had for SIS a month"; without
the extras named, $40. The almuerzo or
breakfast, and dinner can be served by the
cantenero, or canteen boy, for another $40
monthly. The canteneros cater to families
all over the city, bringing food to the door
in hot canteens. The food comes from CEN
trail kitchens; if you can acquire taste for
garlic you will be satisfied. 1t is as if the
bakery delivered a whole meal instead of
the mere loaf The actual cost of living in
this way, amounting to only $50 month
for thirty days, will make $50-bill go a
long way.
For clerks and statesmen an important con-
dition of success is a knowledge of the
language or an ability to learn it quickly.
For these there is already steady demand,
for the shop keepers are all anxious to hang
out the sign, English spoken here" In
the offices of merchants expecting to do a
large business with the United States Amer
lean typewriters, stenographers, and book
keepers are wanted at once. Suppose the
applicant for one of these positions is a
woman Will the Spanish or Cuban mer-
chants engage her? No! But the American
merchant will. The Spaniards and Cubans
will retain their prejudice against the en-
ployment Of women excepting in the tobacco
factories. Therefore among the Americans
worker. With the coming of American fam
lilies, American dressmakers and milliners
will be wanted; for the Cuban women have
never learned to make waist fit or to
hang a skirt properly American gov
ernesses will be wanted as also American
school teachers, boarding house keepers,
and sewing machine operators.

CITY,s OWN GAS PLANT.
AcetyIene to BE Used in West Indian
anOIis Fire House.

apOliS Fire House.
Following on the heels of the announce
ment that the city is to go into the water
works business by extending the mains of
the Brightwood water plant comes another
that the city has gone into Illuminating gas
manufacturing 1t bought an acetylene gas
plant yesterday for 800. 1t is established in
the West Indianapolis fire company house.
The house was equipped with jumbo burn
ers, supplied with natural gas, but lately
the firemen have had to hitch up the horses
on night calls in the darkling light Of blue,
Notwithstanding flames, and were alto
gether unsatsfed with the condition. A
salesman for a company manufacturing
acetylene gas plants came along and CT
fered to put plant into the house on trial
and the Board of Safety agreed to expert
ment The plant supplied WE'VE jets cf
pure bright light, and yesterday morning at
a meeting of the board it was decided to
buy the plant. The company guaranteed
that the plant would last, and it was con-
cluded that the expense of maintaining it,
So a month, was less than the cost Of nat
ural gas
The hremen will wear white canvas caps
with enameled leather visors during the
summer. The board yesterday made con-
tract with a Charlottesville man to furnish
IFS caps at 81 each. The peculiar virtue of
the cap seems to be that it is constructed
to stand away from the head and is cool.
The tiremen asked that this style of head
gear be accepted by the board.
A contract was made with H. Stenhaur to
furnish coal to the police station the rest
Of the winter at $3.50 ton. Other con-
tracts were made with Frank James, for
1900 bushels of oats at 3212 cents with l..
A. Gait, for Seventy-fiVe tons of hay, at
$3.50, and with Hiram Miller, for twenty-five
tons of straw, at So.
The insurance on the ninety-t three horses
of the fire department and seven horses Of
the police department for 800 each was re-
newed
Newly-appointed sergeants Henry Wal
lace and Frank Giblin filed their bonds in
81 700 each.

Fertilizers for Tomatoes.

The Indiana Gamers Association finished
it's annual meeting at the Grand Hotel yes
terday. The only business was the reading
of paper on ''Soils and Fertilizers in Con-
nection with Tomato Growing" by Prof. H.
A. Huston, of Purdue University. He said
that experiments made at the Purdue sta
ton were valuable, but not complete, and
he urged that the tomato-growers set aside
an acre of ground, plant tomatoes, use diff
ferent fertilizers and register the results
for mutual comparison. The difference in
soils played a great part in tomato growing
and fertilizing, but where the quality of the
soil had been taken into consideration, fer
tilizers had been used with great success.
Because of the liability of diseases peculiar
to tomatoes and potatoes it was not desir-
able either to plant tomatoes for two sue
cessive years on the same ground, or to al
ternate potatoes with tomatoes, because in
either case the disease might be carried
over the winter
The professor submitted the following
formula for fertilizer, which, he said, when
used freely, had doubled the crops of to-
matoes and had tripled the profits because
of the better quality of the vegetable: Nj
trate of soda, 400 pounds; bone tankage, 200
pounds; acid phosphate, 400 pounds; muri-
ate of potash, 500 pounds. This mixture
would yield about ninety-five pounds of nj
trOgen, IA pounds of phosphoric acid and $50
pounds of potash.

GRIP CURED BY SULPHUR
Other Fevers Kept on by Wearing 1t

George T. ANGEL in Chicago News.
In my daily papers of Dec. % I find that
there are supposed TO be something like 1OO,-
0OO cases of grip in New York city and that
II Is also prevailing largely in washington.
Philadelphia and other cities, and is now
threatening Boston. 1t is a fact that when
II was prevailing as an epidemic largely IN
our city few years ago l aScerta1ned by
inquiry Of my officers at Byam's match fac
tory that of the forty-three persons en-
ployed there not one had been troubled
have at various times told the press how
many at Memphis, Tenn, Qncluding the
agents of the Howard Benevolent Associa-
tlon). escaped the terrible epidemic of yell
low fever there (as they claimed), by wear
ing powdered sulphur in their shoes-also
the evidence Of a distinguished German
medical writer, translated into English,
that wearing sulphur in this way has
proved q complete protection against chol-
era tE ana olner epidemic diseases; also that
those working the sulphur mines of Italy
escape the malaria which prevails all about
them; also that sulphur in the shoes has
cured various cases of rheumatism; also
that sulphur taken internally or worn in the
shoes has sufficient power to pass through
the body, the clothing and the pocketbook,
blackening the silver there
/ find in the London Lancet that no less
authority than the president of the Institute
OF civil Engineers of London declares that
the sulphurous vapor produced by the COM
bustiOn of coal in that city kills the disease
germs in the atmosphere.
1t seems to me duty, at this time, to
sulphur is very cheap, and whether it de-
stroys or keeps out germs of disease from
the body or only acts upon the imagination
1T cannot do much harm to try it.
In the Scott County (MississippD Register
OF June 10 last will be found an account of
how the agents of the Howard Benevolent
Association. at Memphis, escaped yellow
fever by wearing sulphur in their shoes.
Half a teaspoonful of powdered sulphur
in each shoe or stocking is considered to be
sufficient.
l did my best last spring to put these facts
(for the protection OF our soldiers) before
our army and navy officials at Washington.
do not know whether anything was done
about the matter by our medical officers
there, but have received letters from army
officers and men that with sulphur in their
shoes they had no fevers and also found the
sulphur a complete protection against 1eas.
Julius A. Palmer the following:
BY the way. in view of your frequent
recommendations of common sulphur, it
came to my notice recently that on Cali
!ornla ranches where walnuts are prepared
for the market the shells are bleached by
the use of birthstone fumes, and that the
men having charge of that work are never
touched by the grip, influenza or other cpl
denies which attack their fellow-lab orers
on the same estates"

FAVOR ITS REMOVAL.
Sentiment of Institute for the Blind
Trustees.

1t was the unanimous sentiment of the
trustees for the Institute for the Blind at
their meeting yesterday that the States
interests would be subserved in disposing
of the present property occupied by the in
stitute and purchasing a site somewhat re-
mote from the city. j. L. Allen, of Cow
ington, was elected president of the board
and Nelson Bradley, of Greenfield, secre-
tary Mr.. Allen thinks the grounds and
buildings Of the institute are of the value
of $55Q0O0 while for $95O,OOO the State could
secure fifteen acres and establish an insti-
tuition on the cottage plan which would bet
ter answer the purposes of the school. Al
though every precaution is taken to guard
against fire, on account of the peculiar dis
ability of the pupils there is always the
haunting fear of danger from the flames.
Twice has the institution had fire. The
cottage plan would in large measure re-
move this danger The present location of
the institute necessitates the carting of COAL
which for this reason costs the State 80
cents more a ton than at other institutions
which can be reached by a railroad switch.

A LITTLE CHILD ADRIFT
KATIE HOLLER HAS BEEN PASSED
ABOUT CONSIDERABLY.
Both Her Guardians Are Now Behind
Bars-James Estate In
vestigation.

The custody of little Katie Holler. four
teen years old, was awarded to the Board Of
Childrens Guardians yesterday by Judge
Alien, of the Circuit Court. The proceed
ings brought out a distressing story.
The child's nearest relatives are an uncle
and an aunt. One is in the workhouse and
the other is an inmate Of the county Jail.
The mother OF the child died when the lit
tie one was seven months old. She went to
live with her grandmother. but within six
months the child again found herself d
waif, the grandmother having died. An
aunt Of tho little girl, Mrs. Emma Craig,
then took charge of her. Mrs. Craig and
her husband kept the child until about three
years ago, when Craig deserted his wife.
Next the German Orphan Asylum took
charge of the child and cared for her for
three years. She left the orphan asylum
in a mysterious way. Mrs. Craig used to
visit her frequently, and one night, after
the aunt had put in the afternoon at the
institution, the child ran away. The Off
GERS OF the asylum searched for her. and
within few days located her at the home
OF her aunt. Mrs. Craigs record was in
vestigated, and as nothing was found
against her, the child was allowed to re-
main with her. In the meantime Craig had
come back TO his wife and they went to
living together again. Last summer the
Craigs were both arrested on the charge
OF grand larceny, and both were sent to
jail. They were indicted by the grand iurv
ana We're convicted. Mrs. Craig was given
a JAN sentence and her husband went to
me Workhouse. Since the arrest of the
Craigs their niece has lived with Craig 3
mother on Willard street. The child is
IN delicate health and was too i'll to be
brought to the courthouse Yesterday. IT is
said her father lives in St Louis.

The mayor yesterday approved with his
signature the following resolution, passed
by the Council at it's last meeting:
Resolved, That the railroad tracks en-
tering into the city should be elevated, and
that the city attorney inform the Common
Council as to the right of the municipal au-
thorties to compel such elevation
City Attorney Kern, when asked yesterday
for his opinion in the matter said he would
not give it out until he reported it to the
Council.
The Commercial Clubs discussion Of the
elevated track proposition has been suspend
ed until the city attorney gives his opinion.
At the last conference held by the repre-
sentatives of the railroads, the elevated
track commission of the Commercial Club,
the mayor and the city attorney, no mutual
conclusion was reached. The railroad COM
pan1es, of course, rstrenuously opposed the
advocacy of the project and the other party
to the matter decided to bring the matter to
definite conclusion by putting it into the
hands of the Council. The proposition most
favored by the Commercial Club and the
city officials is to elevate the Union tracks
from Rural street to White river.
