LETTER FROM HAVANA.
Seret. J. A. Small Writes of Garrison
Life of the Second Artillery in Cuba.

Serqt. j. A. Small Writes of Garrison
Life of the Second Artillery In Cuba.
Sergt James E. Chamberlain, who is
soon to have charge of the local recruit
ing office, has received a letter from an
old comrade who is now serving in bat
terry 1, Second United States artillery
in Havana, Cuba. Sergt. j. A. Small
is a former Worcester boy, and writes
a very interesting letter of the routine
work of the garrison and the many
changes that are taking place there
daily. He expects to arrive in the
states in the near future, as part of his
regiment has already left the island.
Sergt. Small dates his letter Oct. ~,
and writes from Cabanas barracks as
follows: 1--WE were driven out of the
old fortress by an outbreak of yellow
fever, and went into a quarantine camp
about two miles back of the fort, where
we stayed until last week, when we
moved into wooden barracks about 500
yards from Cabanas. This is really a
fine place, and we are comfortable, in
deed, but we are not to enjoy it long,
for we are under orders to go across
the harbor to Santa Clara battery.
This is a nice place, it being a one
company post, but we have to use old
Spanish quarters, ana tnat is not quite
so nice as those new buildings. We
will have two rapid-fire guns, two -
inch rifles and three Krupp guns to
drill on and take care of. These are
all wooden guns. I have not much to
write about, not having been over to
Havana but once since 1 got back
and then it was on business. We had
80 cases Of yellow fever, and from the
battery we lost ten men. 1 have been
very fortunate since I arrived here af-
ter my furlough, not having been ill at
all.
at think we are good for two years
in this island, although four batteries
of my regiment leave for the states
tomorrow or Saturday, and some Of
the old soldiers here seem to think we
will not be a great while behind them
1 would prefer, myself, to remain in
Cuba this winter, but l hope it will
never be my luck to put in another
summer here. l have been very lucky
since l returned to my regiment, and
1 rather expect my brother has told
you of my advancement to a sergeant. +"
The letter then closes with personal
references and the desire to. be remem-
bered to all his friends.

NEW BILL PROPOSED.

Representative Tatman Wants Divorce
Cases Tried in the Probate Court.
Representative Charles r. Tatman, at
the coming term of legislature, will in
troduce bill providing for a transfer
of jurisdiction in divorce libels from the
superior court to the probate court. The
opinions of the Worcester bar vary as
to the eXpediency Of this bill, although
the majority think that it would be a
good move, as the probate court is the
natural place for trying cases involving
domestic relations. OF course such
a change would entail much more work
on the probate judge, but would re-
lieve the superior court of the present
mixture of law and equity cases with
the hearing of divorce Hbels.

DENTISTS ARE FORTIFIED.
Reports at the Holyoke Convention
Show Much Money Subscribed for
LEGAL Defense.

The recent session of the Northeast
ern Association of Dentists, held a.
Holyoke, has been a most successful
one from every point of view. The at
tendance was above 40.
The all-important question of what
is to be done to further the interests of
the Single Crown Dental Protective as
ISOLATION came up for discussion. AS
showing the feeling and interest of the
dentists, it is only necessary to state
that Boston alone sent $4,000 to DR.. j.
N. Grouse, its president, in the last
three weeks, to further the good cause.
Worcester has sent nearly 500. Hol-
yoke, Northampton and Springfield
have sent nearly $500. The ori6 lnal
membership of $500 of the Protective
association has been increased by Is
new members since the recent litiga-
ton. A dentist who has recently been
sued gave a very interesting talk cn the
methods of the Crown company in try
ing to force a settlement of their claims.
The utmost confidence was expressed
that the Protective association would
take care of all it's members faithfully
in all litigation TINT might come. Be-
fore these lawsuits there was perhaps
a want Of unity on the part of the dem
lists. This has now changed to d solid
front.
These officers were elected for the en-

A HAPPY IDEA.

Socialists Will Use the Rear City Hall
Steps as a Rostrum.
Thomas P. Abbott's selection of the
rear steps of the city hall as a rostrum
from which to address an open-air
meeting on the common, has set other
socialist speakers to thinking.
The advantage of the location is rec
ognized, and, unless the city authorities
should decree otherwise, it is not un-
likely that the doctrine of the socialist
labor party may be preached from the
steps of the municipal building in flu
ture. Just which faction would have
the location, is open to question. The
regulars ana the De Leonites will
doubtless contest this point, and the
probable result of such a contest would
be that neither would be allowed the
privilege.

DEFECTIVE CARDS.
The New Devices for Letter Boxes Are
Unsatisfactory.


Of the 264 time cards sent to Worces-
ter to be placed on the several letter
boxes, Postmaster ]. Evarts Greene
finds 46 are defective. The cards are of
tin, painted a sort Of dirty yellow, and
covered with printed matter containing
directions to persons who may deposit
letters or other mail matter The hours
for collection are also printed on the.
cards, and it is with this last feature
that most Of the trouble comes.
Several mistakes have been made in
printing the hours for collection, and
the cards are consequently valueless
Aside from errors the cards are not to
Mr.. Greenes liking, but they are here
now and must be made the most of. Mr.
Greene has communicated with the de-
partment asking that he be allowed to
replace such cards as are worthless
with cards of celluloid.

IOWA AND BEET SUGAR.
ISecretary Jas. Wilson.l

With regard to the ability of the state
of Iowa to produce sugar, we can make
here all the nation wants. A million and
a quarter or a million and a half acres
would make all the sugar that the
United States now pays one hundred
million dollars for annually. That is,
I mean Iowa acres, where full crops
are grown. 1t will be demonstrated in
the coming years that Iowa can produce
a ton of sugar beets cheaper than most
other states, just as she produces corn,
roast beef, mutton, and pork cheaper
now than other states. Those with
whom we compete in foreign countries
are compelled to pay large amounts for
fertilizers to keep UP the fertility of
their acres and produce reasonable
crops. BY systematic rotation and by
keeping half or more of the farm in
grazing condition, and by returning all
the fertilizer made on the farm strictly
to the land. there is no difficulty in
keeping up Iowa soils, provided we sell
things that come from the atmosphere
as much as possible.

PRODUCING A PRODIGY


Relieving that heredity influences
could be outweighed by education and
training, j. H. Olerich has produced
a remarkable prodigy in a child 2 years
and months of age and demonstrated
a theory of his own until educators and
scientists bow to his skill.
Mr. Olerich is former school
teacher who lives on Twenty fifth
street, between avenues A and b. He
came here from Lake City.
Twenty three months ago he and his
wive visited an orphanage and selected
a girl waif of eight months from a
group. The babe was taken to it's new
home and surrounded by comforts and
as it developed physically it's education
began. She can now read with ease
any part of the school books from the
first to the sixth grade and accomp-
fishes feats In memorizing that are
marvellous. Her adopted father says
that on her third birthday Baby Viola
Resale will be able to read with intel
ligence any newspaper and almost any
book placed in her hands.
AS soon as she could crawl about
Viola received her first lesson in read
ing. Mr.. Olerich made ten wooden
blocks which We're hollow. The open
ings were closed with corks. On the
exterior Of the blocks were slides for
slips OF paper. Words and numbers in
large characters We're printed on the
paper. The blocks contained sweet
meats and We're hung. on string within
easy reach of the baby's hand. But a
little while was required to make the
Iinfantile mind understand, that BY mas.
