That American administration in Cuba
is wholly unlike the rule of the Spaniards
is newly demonstrated by the promptness
with which the brigands have been cap
tured. Under the Spanish governors the
right to do highway robbery and to capture
and held persons for ransom was sold 10
the bandits, who were rarely molestsd in
their criminal course. The Americans
have placed twenty-five OF them in Jail
and there will be no more OF il. This
shows what We might do with the train
robbers if the authority to break up their
business were given to the army.

Sugar as Food,
r-,u tho Jondon Cbro,;cI,,

From the London Chroniclc)
In an interesting paper recently published on
the value q sugar food, compared with
fat W. Augustc Chauveau maintains that its Dl,-
tritivc value is considerably higher than that de-
duced from its heat of combustion. and that the
calculation that 0.15G pound Of the former is
equal to l pound OF the latter. is in many cases
exceeded. The increase in relative nutritive val
ne is due largely to the fact that sugar promotes
assimilation of the proteids and reduces dissim-
ilation. and the value of food must necessarily
depend, not only upon the energy it is capa-
bic OF supplying, but also the indirect in
fuence that it is capable Of exerting in the re-
newal and formation of animal tissue. From
whatever point of view the matter is regarded.
the superiority of sugar fat as food
whether for men at rest or at work, is very dis
tinct, and this is of the greatest importance in
country like ours, who arc the largest con-
sumers per head Of population Of any country
in the world due in a great measure, no doubt,
to its being cheaper than in any other civilized
country.

to confess that the bit Of string she tied

LIVING WITH A BROKEN NECK
An Interesting Patient mt the Mary
land lniversity Hospital.

Baltimore April For five days
Charles Windford. aged fortyfve, has
been lying at the Maryland University
Hospital with his neck broken and his
body completely paralyzed from fall.
His neck is broken in the fifth cervical
vertebra. just where the neck leaves the
shoulders. That he should live so long in
this condition is a marvel to the rhysi-
clans. and hundreds OF medical men have
been to see the poor fellow. At tir,es he
is rational. and begs the doctors riteously
to save his life.
His neck is swathed in bandages arounl
a plaster of paris cast, and he has TO lie
on his back. He seems to suffer little.
He can move his left hand slightly. but his
body is almost entirely paralyzed. The
physicians expected him to die within
twenty-four hours after the accident. Now
they say they cannot tell how long he will
live.

II is said that it was not the first in
tention of the President to have the army
and navy represented in the Commission
appointed TO attend the Cars Peace Con-

10 look for any other practical result from
the conference than an agreement as TO the

II the law enabled every person injured or
the heirs Of every person killed by FIRE on in
attempting TO escape from fire in public inn or
hotel to collect considerable fixed sum by a
prompt and approximately summary process, the
precautions against fires and against fatal conse-
quences from them would be made very much
more effective. The vigilance and ingenuity Of
the innkeeper would be far more effective than

Eight miles due east, over the noun

OF that name, city along whose steep,
winding streets neither wagon nor
cart, neither stage no bus, nor any
other wheeled vehicle was ever known
to pass, although it has often boosted
of population of 10000 souls. The
city takes its name from once being
the stronghold and the property of q
band of fourteen of the
most daring, desperate, dagger
GUS and successful robbers that
ever laid tribute on roads OF Mexico.
They discovered, and for many years
worked, the rich deposits of silver
that abound in this entire section OF
the country-deposits, the value OF
which, If current report De true, for

Catorce is one of the most interesting
places in Mexico. Here are found the
customs of Mexico in their purity, un-
affected by the influence of the stran-
ger. Difficult of access, the town can
only be reached by horseback or on
foot. Catorce has seldom been visited
by any except those making business
trips. The ride up the mountains into
the town is something. once COM

partly from it's element of personal
peril, but more because OF the beauty
of the landscape encoun-

A majority and minority report of
the special committee Investigating
the university was read in the house
yesterday. The majority re
port alleges that the university
is in receipt from the national govern
ment of yearly fund of $40, OO0, ap-
prOpriated for use solely in the agri-
cultural department, but that the re-
gents are using this money for the gen.
eral expense of the institution. The
conclusion of the investigators Is that
the money is being used illegally, or
the university is purely an agricultural
college, although under the act
creating it, agriculture is but one of
its five departments. The report says
the agricultural department is fail
ure, and that in the whole institution,
too many teachers are employed for
the number of pupils. 1t recommends
that the agricu tursl department be
taken from the university and estab-
lished in valley, where some good re-
suits may be anticipated.-Ph
