any harm. He knew how to take care
of himself.
The first year passed. and the young
man had found no difficulty in keeping
up with his work, and won most of the
honors in his examinations. He came
home loaded with congratulations from
all sides. His friend, however, saw an
almost imperceptible change in him.
He asked whether he found himself still
strong to resist temptation. The young
man laughed carelessly and replied,
with a superior air: "a fellow doesn't
have to be a prude. l think I'm still
capable of looking out for myself. You
need not have any fear on my ac-
count"
A year later, and the young man
found he was not standing so well in
his examinations as formerly. He was
spending more of his time with the
Other fellows" and often had bad
headache in the morning, and did not
feel like studying. Still, his work was
fairly creditable, and a fellow cant
work all the time; he must have little

There was a hint of recklessness in
the tone of the young man when he
talked with his friend again on his
return at the close of his sophomore
year. Again the friend tried to show
him that his only safeguard was to
take Christ as his guide and resolve never

young man listened with smiling in
credulity, and laughed at the idea Of
there being any danger in an occa-
sional glass of wine, or even stronger
drink. THANK you for the interest you
take in me-" he said, cOmplacently,
but there really is no cause for alarm.

Poor fellow, the net was already
drawing closer about him, already the
terrible habit had him in its power!
Yet he went on, bliadly but gayly, to
his destruction. His mother was a
widow, and her son was her idol. She
was far from suspecting the truth. He

Soon after his junior year began it
became evident that something was
amiss. The professors began to re-
monstrate with him kindly, for they
all liked the boy. They saw all too
clearly the danger he was mourning,
but his reply was still the same:
"'There's no danger in it for mel" At
last one wrote to the mother, and she
came at once to have talk with her
son. When she saw him, however, his
bright, frank manner entirely dis
armed her, and-so does drink deaden

there was nothing wrong, but that it

UPRoAR AT SANTIAGO.
Periodical Revolt Against Reduction
of Expenditures.

Santiago de Cuba, March "A climax
has reached in the. affairs of Santiago
The estimates for February have been
reduced from $4,000 to $4,000, and amounts
aggregating $4,000 expended last month
have been disallowed by the authorities at
Havana.
Genera. Leonard Wood, military gov
ernor, says it is impossible to estimate
exactly a month ahead and thinks the
best plan would be to forward certain
percentage to Havana every month, the
department. commander having the priv
ilege of using the balance subject to OBJ
lection later, as under the present system
II is impossible to run the government
here.
For the month of March all expendi-
lures for the entire province must be kept
within $4,000. Even those Cubans who
are most friendly to the United States au-
thorities say this amount is less than was
allowed at any time under the Spanish
regime. In the opinion OF others the OBJ
ject of the restriction is to discredit the
work already done here by throwing out
of employment a large number of men
and creating discomfort and disturbance.
This. of course, is an altogether erroneous
assumption, but the fact is that tomorrow
more than 100 men viii be out of work

dangerous menace to public safety at Just
this jueture, and involving a large ad-
ditional police force. Some merchants say
1t VIII neceSSitate the presence of addi-
tional regiments, even If an incurrection
does not finally result.
1t Is significant that the Cuban ex-
tremists, who talk openly against Ameri-
can rule, go about explaining how 5000
of their men, properly armed, could now
gain possession of the province of San
tiago in two days if the plan were prop
erIy arranged beforehand. The men who
indulge in this sort of buster are mere
nobodies but the fact that anybody will
listen to them indicates the general dis
content born of these veXatiOus instruc-
lions from Havana.
Even the Americans here cannot COM
prehend what Havana hopes to achieve
by bringing about a practical cessation
of all public works in the largest province
in this line than any other. The air of
anxiety obvious in all the departments
shows the approximations entertained of
what must follow a public announcement
of the fact that all public works must
cease As a straw showing the way

ROTARY CUT THEM TO PIECES
TWO MEN STRUCK BY THE BIG
SNOW PLoW.
Bodies Were Slashed Into Hundreds
of Fragments By the Terrible
Knives-Happened Near Laramie.
Especial to The HeraldN

Cheyenne. Wyo., March 1.-The worst
and most unfortunate accident
incident to the snow blockade
on the Union Pacific in Wy
orning occurred this afternoon on
Lookout hill, thirty-fve miles west of
Laramie, when one of the big rotary
snow plows struck two men who We're
walking on the track. Both were suck
ed in by the big knives of the rotary,
and were cut in hundreds of pieces.
One of the bodies, which was this
evening identified as that of Edward
Osborne of Virginia Dale, Colo, was
picked W near the scene of the acct
dent. being minus one arm and both
legs, but the second body, which has
not been identified, was thrown out
through the discharge pipe of the ro-
tary, and pieces of flesh of legs, arms
and skull were scattered along the
track for a distance of three miles
No one seems to be to blame for the
frightful accident, as a severe storm
prevailed at the time, and the rotary
was at work cleaning out q deep cut
One theory has been advanced that the
men were not walking on the track,
but had been overcome by the storm
and were stuck fast in the snowdrift
when struck by the rotary.

ana mad seen man with canula on
the end of q flexible tube showing it
into sections of meat and injecting
them with fluid. He did not know at
the time what the fluid was or whether
the meat being treated was corned
beef, pork or refrigerator beef. The
meat was cut in fifteen or twenty
pound pieces and was not in sides or
quarters. He paid little attention to
the matter at the time, but when the
discussion over ''embalmed beef arose
he deemed it his duty to write to Gen
eral Miles, telling him what he had
seen. He did not say in his letter that
IL was beef which was being inject
ed, but said merely that it was meat"
He had regarded this communication as
confidential, but it had gotten out and
brought him a great many letters.
Anon gothers was letter asking if DR..
Christine knew that the Injection pro-
cess he had witnessed was the regular

injection with pickling fluid reduced the
period Of pickling the meat by several
weeks. He received another letter from
one James Farnan. whom he had never
seen. Farnan stated that he had been
stationed in Omaha and knew all about
the embalming of beef and could give
information very damaging to the
packers. On the strength of this letter
Farnan was summoned to appear before
the war investigating commission, but
never responded.

NAILS GOING UP.
Pittsburg Manufacturers Advance
Prices Ten Per Cent.

Pittsburg, Feb. 1.-The advance in
iron and steel during the past few days
has caused nail manufacturers to ad
vance their prices, and wire, steel and
wrought nails have been increased 10
per cent. The basing rate remains the
same, but the discount has been taken
off.
Manufacturers say that the demand
for their product has greatly increased
during the past few weeks, and that
prices would not have changed had not
the price on raw material advanced.
All the mills are running full time and
up to their capacity. All the rod mills
in the city are working overtime in
order to fill orders, and the workmen
are now beginning to hope that the
increase in the price of iron and steel
viii mean a general advance in wages.
The shortage in steel is already being
felt by some of the smaller plants, and
producers of billets, with finishing
mills of their own, are reaping a har-
vest. Structural mills have advanced
all shapes 81 ton, and sheets have
been advanced the same figure.
