HEALTH OF THE SOLDIERS. m-
Washington, March 25.--Reports
have been received at the office of the
Surgeon General of the Army showing
that the health conditions Of the troops
in the Philippines have very much i'm
proved. The sick rate has decreased
from 13 to per cent. There is less
malarial and typhoid fever, dysentery
and other diseases than noted in earlier
reports. This indicates that troops are
becoming acclimated. Smallpox has
been unusually severe, owing, it is be-
lieved, to the insufficient vaccination
of the troops which departed from the
Pacific coast. Many of the men in the
Philippines were vaccinated by virus
received from Japan, which was not
effective. The surgeon general in
charge has now established IA vaccine

At the headquarters Of Camp Stcr-
ling Price, Confederate veterans, was
exhibited to-day an interesting war
relic. 1t was the 'gunboat quilt"
noted in the South during the war.
between the States. The quilt was
made by Mrs. Halter, widow of
Greensboro, Ala. whose husband had
been killed in the war and who had at
the time two sons fighting in the Con-
fedcratc army. Mrs. Halter gave
the quilt to be sold At auction in every
town in Alabama to raise fund with
which to build gunboat to be named
for the State.
This was done and the war vessel
procured was the noted Confederate
crusier Alabama, sunk in the last days
Of the war by the Fcderel warship
kearsarge in the great sea fight off the
coast of France. AS fast as the "gun-
boat quilt was sold in one place it
was redonated by the purchaser and
resold in another place. Several hun
drcd thousand dollars was raised in
this way and was applied to paying
for the Alabama.
The quilt was finally given TO J. J.
Hutchinson, Of Greensboro, Ala. to
recompense him for his services as
auctiouccr. 1t has remained in his
family ever since. The ''gunboat'
was forwarded to Mrs. Ben Melton,
of Dallas, daughter Of Mr.. Hutcherin-
son, recently, to be placed on exhibi-
tion at the Texas State Fair and Dal-
las exposition, but because of delays
did not reach Dallas until near the
close of the fair. The relic is we'll

A Rich Mans Worries.

According to his own admission,
Henry Willard, one of the two sur
viving brothers Of the three who we're
famous in Washington hotel history
for third Of century, is in failing
health, although he is active as a cat
on his feet and has every appearance
of robust vitality. Henry Willard is
one of the wealthy men Of Washing
ton. He retired from active business
several years ago-that is to say, he
retired as much as he could. A day
or two ago friend met him on the
street and inquired about his health.
II am feeling badly was the reply.
81 do not sleep we'll. toss all night
long and wake up unfrcshed. 1 do
not know what l am going to do
Thinking to "jolly" him the frienr
remarked: "If 1 were as comfortab
fixed as you l think | would s ,
soundly. certainly would not use
sleep from worry
i am not SO sure Of that, rejoincd
the old man, and his voice took a
qucrulous tone. 81 am not so sure
what you would do if you were in my
place. Why, just think of it. Sur
posin you had from 5000 900 to ST.
900, 900 lying idle in the bank all the
time and had to worry about invcstin'
it. Maybe you would not find it so
blamed easy to sleep as you think.
DUST think of it-all that money not
earnin' dollar"
The friend closed the incident by
lcmarking that he would try valiantly
to struggle against insomnia under sim
liar horrible conditions. Chicago

The Filipinos as Fighters.

The lilipinos are not fighters, says
General Frederick Funston in The
New York Sunday World. They
have not been trained for open war
fare. They are bushwhackcrs and
will fight wickcdly 50 long as they are
securely intrcnchcd or otherwise pro-
tcctcd When a charge is made on
their intrcncllmcnts they tiy in wild
disorder They have not the nerve TO
stay and fight it out. think this is
attributable largely to the fact that
the heart Of the average Filipino is
not in the war.
The masses would gladly yield to
the authority of the United States
were it not for the bosses The peo-
pie are ignorant and suspicious, and
Aguinaldo and his officers have been
able thus far to keep them on the
side Of the rebellion with fake stories
about great disasters to the American
troops and the wonderful growth Of
the anti-cxpansion sentiment in the
United States.
The Filipino, are led to believe that
all they have to do to gain what they
are told is their independence is to
hold out few months. When a
transport load Of soldiers leaves Ma
Mia for the United States the Filipi-
nos are told that the Americans, weary
of the fight, are sending their troops
home, but they are not Informed Of
the landing Of fresh regiments to take
their places.
The "indcpcndencc' which Agui-
naldo talks about to his people would
be worse for them than Spanish rule.
Aguinaldo simply would be dictator,
and he is the kind Of fellow who would
grind the very lives out Of the people
to satisfy his ambition for wealth and
power.
Of course there would be rebellion
against Aguinaldo's rule; civil war and
anarchy would reign. The masses are
incapable of self-govcrnment. And
the leaders of the instruction arc TOO
vcnal to administer the affairs of the
island for the common good, even if
they possessed the qualifications,
which they do not.
| think the Filipinos realize now
that they cannot cope with our SOL
dicrs, and when they become convinc-
ed that the United States can give
them better government than can
Aguinaldo they will lay down their
arms and become peaccable. The
United States soldiers in the Philip
pines are invincible, and the Tagals
know it.
While / was in the island I never
saw soldier finch or groan or cry out
when he was shot or falter when the
fire was thickest. With such men as
these they can crush Aguinaldo's ar
my, and never On the face Of this earth
suffer that flag which floats over Luzon
to be pulled down.
The business opportunities in the
archipelago are many. The islands
ere rich. and when order is restored
will grow in wealth at rapid gate.
With stable government money from
the United States will float into the
Philippines, and the islands will be
Americanized in short time. Am
erican manufacturers, merchants and
railroad builders will, in my opinion,
find an important field for operation
in that part Of our new domain.

CURIOUS CUCKOOs.

The cuckoo is generally known only
as a bird with very nlonotonous note
n continuous cry of ,'' cuckoo, cuckoo"
over and over again. Among naturalists,
however, the cuckoo is known as a bird
that never builds nest for itself, but
takes advantage of one already built by
some more industrious bird.
There is good deal Of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who, instead of
naSing success of their own, seek to
profit by the success which some one
else has made with much effort and
labor. II is SO with those limitations of
DIR. Picrce's methods, by which free
medical advice is offered, although those
who make the offer are without qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised in some cases of woman,
woman, woman write TO woman " makes
the resemblance to the cuckoo even
stronger
There is as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary me.iiciue establishment, and
none therefore competent to give medi-
cal advice. 1t is certain that there is no
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such know1-
edge and experience as is possessed by
DIR. r. v. Pierce, chief consulting phy-
sician to the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo,
N. Y. For over thirty years DR.. Pierce
has made q speciality of the treatment
of diseases peculiar to women. In that
time he has treated over half-a-million
women. ninety-eight per cent. of whom
have been perfectly cured. Every sick
woman is invited to consult DR.. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge or

vate and sacredly Confidential, and ali
