The i'4og- Boy"

To-day a monstrosity in the
shape of a "dog boy" was tried
before Probate Judge Bradley to
be examined as to his sanity
with the view of committing the
prodigy to the asylum or some
institution where he will receive
the proper care and attention.
The "dog boy" is nearly sixteen
years of age and named Rudolph
Preciardo. Nothing is known
of the history of the unfortu-
nate, further than that he was
born at Nogales, Mexico, and
both his parents dead. A Mexi-
can woman, a friend Of the fam
ilv, has been living at Bisbee.
Being poor and having a large
family to support, the woman
turned her charge over to the
county.
The "dog boy" is an imbecile,
cannot speak but one or two in
telligent words, is blind and in
deed an object Of pity. Though
possessing perfect human fea-
lures he has the characteristics
of dog, barking and baying
like a canine, and an inclination
or tendency to go about on all
fours. When standing. his body
bends over as if more disposed
to navigate on hands and feet.
When left alone he crouches in
q heap and rests in Launched
position; the palms Of his hands
show much wear by constant
use as a means of 1ocomotion;
his ankle is peculiarly formed,
ena bling him, at will, to move
his feet in an unnatural manner.
Being fed some milk the dog boy
drank it in gulps. At intervals
he barks uninterruptedly for a
few moments and then means
piteously, while occasionally
follow grunts and cultural
noises. While not repulsive
looking, the creatures helpless
and pitiful condition cannot fail
to leave its impression. He viii

Thomas are guilty of perjury
and subornation of perjury, and
that the guilty parties, to save
their regulations have conspired
together to sacrifice Capt. Car
ter, who is perfectly innocent.
It is to be hoped that the de
fense in this case will not be
hampered by military officials,
as has been the case in France.
Instead of trying to protect the
guilty, the greatest possible lat
itude should be allowed on both
sides that the true facts may be
arrived at, and that the guilty
parties may be found and pun
ished, no matter who they are
or whatpositions they may hold.

eager to invest; but now water
is 5leeded to legitimately irri-
gate land so that it will yield
it's products which must be sold
in the face of constantly in
creasing competition. Water,
therefore, should be no longer
used as a speculative medium.
It should be made available to
the consumer at the actual cost
Of the construction and opera
tion of the necessary distribu
ton works, and without cost for
/ reservoir storage. It has been
generally demonstrated, during
the past ten years, that there is
but little profit in private stor-
age enterprises, for, while the
advantage to the community is
great, the owners of the plant
do not reap the full benefit. The
practicable and fair method and
the only one which will be alb
solutely successful is the build
ing of reservoirs by the General
Government, with the free use
of the waters stored to the land
owners. The proposition is ex-
actly similar to that in which
the public has the free use Of
and benefit from the improve
ments made by the government
on some harbor, the dredging of
some river for navigation, Or the
establishment of some light
house or danger-signal.

ed the hard fact that unemploy-
ment is noticeably prevalent in
the best Of our industrial times:
for the trades unionists are
skilled laborers and must be
proportionately fully as well
employed as the average work
ing man. A .maladjustment of
industry exists, or of capital in
relation to consumption, which,
with all the gains we have made
in acquiring foreign markets,
makes it possible for the count
RVS productions to meet all ac-
tual demands upon it without
working full time or giving en-
ployment to all who want it. ,"
In addition to the above news
columns of capilist papers are in
evidence to prove that vast
thousands of workers are on
strike throughout the country
against oppressive conditions.
AS to any raise Of wages it has
been proven in every case cited
to be only a partial restoration
of former reduction or the wages
of overtime; while in California,
at least, living costs one-third
more than last year.
Booms in stocks, bonds, real
estate, etc, may mean prosperi-
ty to a certain element Of our
population, but Socialists care
nothing for a prosperity that
does not reach to and improve
generally the conditions Of the
wage-workers, and that sort Of
prosperity has not come to the
country, and can come only in
proportion as we can overcome
the economic system that fattens
the private capitalist at the ex-
pense of the workers. Glass

Lockout of CIrarmaker..

lockout of cigarmakers occurred here
Saturday. Four thousand people are
thrown out of employment by the ac-
tion of the leading factories of the city.
1t means that fully $4,000 weekly will
be withdrawn from circulation while
the lockout is on. The manufacturers
conceded every point to hte cigarmakers
except that which demanded the abol-
ishment of the system of weighing fill
ers at the Manrara factory. On this
point the split was made. The manu-
facturers refused to accede to the de-
mand and the men refused to recede
from their position. Twenty of the
leading factories have closed and 9TH
ers will follow. The suffering among
the families of the cigarmakers will be
intense within weeks time unless the

Manila, July 10. 8 a. NIT has been

along the American south and bay
lines is literally flooded. The soldiers
are suffering great discomfort. The
thirteenth infantry regiment at Pasay
is in the worst position, being prac-
tically surrounded by water. The
bridges that were used for 70 ing
supplies have been washed av d., and
some of the companies are now sep
arated by streams six feet deep. In
many cases the men are sleeping with
three feet of water beneath their
hunks, which are elevated on cracker
boxes.
The company cooks, when preparing
the meals, stand knee deep in water.
Some of the roads leading to Pasay
are simply impossible, and the rice
fields on all sides are one great lake.
Manila bay is impossible of naviga-
tion by either launches or canoes, and
no vessels are leaving the harbor. The

States. Says Commission.
Washington, July 10.-An opinion
rendered by the insular commission
holds that the islands now in possession
of the United States as result of the
war with Spain are not part of the ter
ritory OF the United States. 1t has been
generally conceded, the commission
says, that we can sell, give away or
turn over to their inhabitants these ISL
ands. If this be true they cannot be
part of our territory, as the United
States can neither sell nor ALLEVIATE any
portion of its terTitry, nor, as was set
tied by the war of secession, can any
portion of the territory ALLEVIATE itself.
Once Porto Rico and the other ISL
ands are recognized as territory of the

sion holds irrevocable. Ali laws of
the United States are Immediately eX-
tended over the islands, citizenship is
conferred upon the inhabitants and
commerce between the islands and the

Roosevelt was the guest of the presi-
dent from Saturday afternoon until

visit, but this is what he said: Il have

go over with him and with the officials
of the war department certain queS-
tions affecting the new volunteer army,
especially as regards the personnel of
the officers. The president has told me
that he wishes only recommendations
based upon the efficiency of the men
recommended and that he will pay
heed to no others. Most certainly /
should give no others. My own recon-
mendations will be limited to the men
/ had under me or saw in action and
to members of the volunteers of the
New York regiments of whose merits
i have, as governor, not merely official
knowledge, but also the knowledge
gained from personal inquiry made
among their superiors.

the name must stand by the president
