from army surgeon to an executive
position where he exercises authority
over thousands of men is a mighty
stride, and yet that is what Gen. Leon
ard A. Wood has attained in his rapid
rise from ar assistant army surgeon
at a frontier army post to the position
OF Surgeon at Washington in care of
the health of officers and their fami-
lies, next to the c%olonelcy of the cele-
brated Rough Riders, and then to the
Office of military governor of Santiago,
where as a man of wonderful executive
ability he brought order ou. of chaos
and health in the place of disease. The
END OF his attainments has not been
reached. for still greater honors await
him in civic and military life.
He is one of the most popular men in
the army Of occupation. AS is natural
In an educated physician, his hobbies
are order and cleanliness, two very es-
sential things in the regeneration of
such a country as Cuba, where a tropi-
cal laxity regarding sewerage, street
cleaning and other. sanitary measures
prevail everywhere, or did until the
strong hand of Gen. Wood dragged the
Offenders to the light and by energetic
action brought health and sanitary
conditions in place of foulness and
breeding places of disease.
At first he was heavily handicapped
as a sanitarian, for there were no
funds at his disposal with which to pay
.laborers, and he could offer only gov
eminent rations as wages. With the
opening of the Red Cross bureaus o
visions became a drug on the market,
but Gen. Wood managed to flush the
streets and get rid of some of the most
obnoxious odors. To make Santiago
clean in a day was a job akin to the
labor of Hercules.
Naturally enough, Gen. Woods dras-
tic reforms at the outset embittered
the easy-going natives with whom he
had to deal, and he was soon de-
nounced as a tyrant more intolerable

Away on in a far corner of the un-
used part OF the cemetery was an in
closure about seventy-five feet square
and fifty feet deep. with CHASTITY skulls
and zones in all conditions of preserya-
ton and piles Of burial cases of all
degrees, from a costly casket down to
a cracker box or an oil can. This is
the inhuman manner Of disposing of
the bodies buried in a plot upon which
the rental is not renewed every three
years There is ample room that is
unused. so ii is not the lack of q
that causes the disturbing Of the rest
OF a dead; it must be merely for
gain for the cemetery corporation. In
many cases the bodies of the poor are
v buried at all, but at one side Of
the cemetery is a building, called the
Dead House." in which ARRANGEMENTS
are made for burning the bodies with
lime until there is nothing left but the
bones. which are then thrown into

Gen. Wood was born in New Hamp-

colonial house owned by his father
still stands on a hill overlooking the
waters of the bay.
As a mere boy he often expressed his
desire to be a surgeon. as his father
was, and so, when his father died,
young Wood entered the Harvard
Medical school, where he succeeded in
gaining two scholarships. and finally
graduated as n of the youngest men
who ever obtained the coveted sheep
skin from the school. After two years
residence in Boston he announced his
fntention of entering the army (his
father had been q surgeon during the
war Of the rebellfon). and in January.
1886. he received his commission to the
medical department of the regular
army, with the rank of first lieutenant.
His army record is a magnificent one.
and he gained his medal of honor IS a
fighting doctor for distinguished serv-
ices during the campaigns after the
famous Apache chief Geronimo.
His work at Santiago has been on a

New O@cers Have Taken Charge Of The
Baltimore. July 1.-The receivership
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
terminated at Il o'clock last night and
the property was turned yer to the
stockholders without celebration or
formal ceremony. John X. Cover
and Oscar G. Murray were appointed
receivers of the company on February
18th, 1896, by the United States court
for the District of Maryland. Being
familiar with the needs of the property
the receivers decided that the only
wise curse 10 pursue was to practi-
cally rebuild and re-eQuip the railroad.
The physical condition was bad. its
equipment Anticipated and inadequate
to handle business and its insuf1ciency
was such as to seriously injure the
revenues. The receivers plans were
discussed by the security holders and
as a large majority agreed to the pro-
vision Of enough funds to place the
road in a condition to handle its traf-
dc. they obtained permission Of the
court to issue certificates for the pur-
chase, by means Of equipment trusts
and receivers certificates, Of new cars
and locomotives and to improve the
physical condition of the property.
The plan also provided for the payment
In full of all receivers Indebtedness,
the entire floating debt of the COM
pany, represented by promissory notes
and negotiable obligations and OF all
car trust obligations, enabling the COM
pany to begin the fiscal year of 1899
1900 with all its obligations paid. For
the reason that reorganization was
without a foreclosure, the orig
charter of the company remains in
force. and the mex annual meeting of
the stockholders will be the I'D. The
stock of the company is held by in
terests which cannot fail to be of great
help to the property and much new
capital has been invested in the Sc
curities. and there is a suficiency of
money for still further Improvements,

still further reducing the Ost of trans

THE HEAVIEST B. & O. TRAIN

When the receivers Of the Baltimore
+ Ohio Railroad began the now famous
series OF improvements of the physi-
cal condition Of the entire system,
their object was to increase both the
train load and the number Of revenue
tons per mile and at the same time
reduce the cost of transportation.
Much has been done. and by the low
ering OF grades, elimination of curves.

chase OF heavy motive power they have
very materially added to the number OF
ears per train. But it vas O until
the 18th of March last that a demon
strati0n was made Of what might be
expected of the new Baltimore Z Ohio
Railroad. Enough new 50-ton capac-
ity steel carr had been delivered to
give the operating department a chance
to experiment. Fifty steel cars, each
weighing $4,000 pounds, we're loaded
with an average Of $4,000 pounds Of
coal. To them vas coupled q new
12x2S inch consolidation locomotive
weighing 16S. 100 pounds and having
81 inch driving wheels. The start was
made from Cumberland, Nd, and the
destination was Brunswick. Nd. on
the second division. In his report Gen

the train vas pulled with comparative
ease and that the class of engines used

THE EXPOSURE OF SCANDALS.

y JOURNAL devoted to the welfare OF society
I ! as well as to the dissemination OF news care
fully abstains from the publication OF scandals
in the lives OF private individuals long as it IS
possible to do so without wrong to the community.
When, however, the scandals become notorious and
are committed by persons who by reason OF their
wealth and the influence OF their families have admls-
sion to the homes OF the city it then becomes neces
sary for the protection of womanhood to expose the
evil in order that the offender may be known and
society put on guard against him.
The communicating effect OF notorious wrong
doers who rely upon wealth and social position to
enable them to practice vicious course with inn
punity IS iar-reaching Persons thoroughly inno-
cent of wrong intent are not inrequently made the
objects OF unjust suspicion simply because in their
ignorance they associate with some unexposed rascal
in society When to save innocent persons from that
danger it becomes necessary to make public the
scandaous lie OF the offender then the exposure be-
comes a duty which the press owes to the public
There are many persons OF depraved tastes and
aDpetites with a iondness for violating the estabS
Ished code OF social ethics who be restrained
only by the fear that il they persist in evil courses
they will be exposed and held up to public scorn
The existence OF independent press ready to make
the exposure without fear favor, acts therefore as
a safeguard to the community. Even where it does
not deter some bolder profigate from pursuing a
career OF notorious scandal II at least gives notice
OF his character and puts the homes OF the city on
guard against him. The publication OF private Of
lenses is therefore one OF the disagreeable which
must at times be performed by the most care
fu journal that has any respect for virtue and any
true comprehension OF its duty to the public.
