NEW YORK, Nov. %. - The World to-

stating that United States officials, after
months of secret investigation, have discov-

hay for the purpose. The guncotton. seven

either stolen from the magazine where the
stuff was stored or taken away with the
knowledge OF the officials In charge. Ad-
miral Manterola's records Will undoubtedly
show the names of his subordinates who had
direct control Of the explosives. and in that
way the identity of the author and exc
c%utioners Of the plot TO destroy the Maine
may be discovered.
Two or three men were engaged in the de-
struction of the Maine. A steam launch OF

water and ten feet above the anchors used
to prevent them from being swept away.
The torpedoes were exp.oded by contact
with the keel Of the Maine as she swung
at anchor.

Self-Culture

oCAA" -haoo6AhNs
The cure of disease will always be an
important element in the physicians work.,
and the care of the incurable sick.
the alienation OF pain and suffering and
the p~rolongation of life are priceless benef-
licences. but the most valuable service
which scientific medicine Is capable OF rem
dering lies in the direction OF the preyen-
ton OF disease in the family, in the state
and in the Nation.
Indeed. we cannot fail to realize that
this is the great era OF preventive medi-
cine. To-day II Is known That nearly every
disease has its own specific germ origin,
and the laws that govern and control tnis
germ in Its every form are becoming KNOWN.
Herein les our greatest hope, for the ounce
OF prevention Will ever remain better than
the pound of cure. Even though medicine
has made marvellous strides in the recent
past, Ii must be acknowledged that our re-
sources are still wanting IN view OF the
severity of many maladies. Therefore II be
hooves Us 10 use our best efforts 10 prevent
the development OF disease.
The efficiency of the medical man viii be
immensely increased when his relation 90
the family is more constant instead OF being
intermittent and irregular. The DOCTOR
should come and go like the clergyman or
priest. instead OF being looked upon as a
long as possible, and are ar all times a
source of uneasiness. He should be a SAM
tary officer of the family. with whom there
consulted on a hundred personal and family
questions which may perhaps influence the
sy symmetrical development OF a child, IL not.
indeed, shape the destiny OF a man.
The eradication OF inherited tendencies TO
disease; the direct Improvement OF the
physical and mental measures OF stocks.
the development OF a hardy constitution in
weak children; the stoppage OF many fatal
organic diseases in their incipiency; the ar
rest OF acute infiammations at a time when
this is possible: the insuring or longevity
and a sound old age-these are some OF the
things which the physician OF to-day Is able,
but which he Is not often permitted, TO do.

with his scientific pursuits, ! was once told
d curious story by a Harvard professor
who once visited the prince at his home.
and i don't believe the yarn has ever been
seen in print. At the time of the visit a
couple of other Americans were present.

the conference between Chairman Samuel
Lee, of the national executive board Of the
Street Railway Mems International Union,
representing the men, and the officials Of
the Citizens Street-railway Company this
afternoon it was announced that the com-
pany had appointed Lee TO act as its repre-
sentative in arbitration of the difficulty
over the crews of Mount Clemens cars. At
their meeting the men declared against ar
filtration of this difference, fixing 1 O'Clock
tomorrow morning as the time they would
go on strike if their demands were not &C
ceded TO before then. The men are now
Considering, in a meeting which began at
midnight, whether they will reScind their
former resolution and accept arbitration or
tie up the lines tomorrow. There will be a
secret ballot on this, which IL is expected
will develop more sentiment in favor or
arbitration than would a verbal vote The
company this afternoon reinstated one OF
the men whom the union declared was dis
charged without just cause, and this re-
moves one point Of difference.

MINNESOTA WAS WEAK.
Its Team Crippled, and Chicago Had
Very Easy victory.

CHICAGO. Nov. 25.-The University of
Chicago football eleven ran up a score OF
% to o against the team from the University
OF Minnesota to-day. The Minnesota eleven
had evidently been carefully coached TO stop
the end runs Of Hamill, and watched that
player carefully. but they were unable to
solve the mass plays and close formations
OF the Maroons and were played off their
feet in the first half. Chicago making % of
the % points In the first part of the game.
In the second half the visitors did better
and once got within fifteen yards Of Chi
Cages goal line. This followed a series OF
penalties for of-side play on the part OF the
Maroons. however, and with their goal IN
danger the Chicago players braced so that
the ball was not advanced two yards on
four downs. Once in the first half Mime
sofa had a chance 10 score. attempting a
place kick from the thirty-yard line, but II
went wide. Both teams resorted TO trick
plays at times. Minnesota trying fake kicks,
which. however. were not very effective,
while Chicago pulled Minnesota ends in on
double passes several times for long gains.
tackling of the Minnesota men was
extremely poor. The Minnesota men were
not in the best Of condition. and during the
game three OF them were compelled TO re-
tire on account of injuries.
