That may be true. a very large pro-

unhealthful TO reside In our extreme

she will no longer receive the titled
English women who have gone into
trade. There are quite n number OF

are countesses. and all have received

Major General Merritt in The Youths
Companion: Through the efforts Of
one Of my staff officers I was able. to
gain some knowledge Of the personal
attributes of Aguinaldo and his social
ed cabinet. AguInaldo was described
to me as thoroughly honest and sin
cere; not well educated, but a natural
leader of men, and possessing consider
able shrewdness and ability. He was
very popular among the common peo-
pie, who had implicit confidence in
him; but the opinion among the better
classes was that he had not sufficient
education or experience to make a suit
able President. He was at one time
governor Of a small town In one OF the
provinces, and 1t is said that he was
formerly school teacher.
The position OF secretary OF state was
at this time being held open Tor
prominent native citizen. Arellano, re-
puted to be the foremost lawyer OF the
islands. He was not at Manila at this
time; although he had been repeatedly
sent for, he could not get through the
Spanish lines. He was reported to be
an avowed annexationist, who had lit
tie faith in the ability of the Filipino
people to govern themselves.
Next to Aguinaldo in point OF popu-
larIty was one Of Martona Trias. secre-
tary Of the treasury. He had been
vice president of former revolution.
A former schoolmaster, cousin Of AZ
uinaldo, and man Of little or no nbll-
ity, was secretary OF war, and the sec
retarIes Of the navy and of the interior
were reported to me as honest, capable
men. Aguinaldo had gathered about
him as personal advisers and COUNSEL
ors quite a number of efficient men.

flied, naturally or by education, to fill
the positions assigned to them. My
informant designated one Of the cabi-.
net officers as ''swelled Ounce" and
one Of AguInaldo's foremost generais
as a vicious, uneducated ignoramus
and highway robber"; from which 1t
Will be seen that the personnel of Ag-
ulnaldo's cabinet was not such as to

A correspondent, In brief note, says:
II note an article in this mornings
Intelligencer on the Deadly Toy Pls-
toll in which you use the term 'tetan-
u.s. and refer to the disease caused by
wounds received by many persons FIR
ing toy pistols and giant crackers on
the Fourth Of July as tetanus cases.
What is tetanus?" Tetanus is a pain
full, and usually fatal. disease, result
ing from wound which has been me-
elected or improperly treated. It's
symptom is persistent spasm of the
voluntary muscles. When the mus
Giles OF the lower Jaw are affected 1t is
called locked jaw. or lockjaw. This is.
in brief. the definition as given In med
ical dictionaries.
It may be added, in this connection,
that, while the epidemic Of tetanus that
has been so prevalent since Tndepend-
ence Day is traceable in a majority Of
cases to the use of the toy pistol, be-
cause the victim was more exposed to
danger through careless handling of the
apparently harmless toy, the blame is
not altogether due to the pistol itself,
but to the neglect of the wound which
seemed at first only slight enough to
demand little solve or piece of stick
ing plaster, or perhaps entire neglect.
Investigation shows that each deadly
injury has been deadly because of these
facts. A writer on the subject holds
that "at every breaking Of the skin
sufficient to draw blood hundreds OF
bacteria enter the system. Some are
lethal CfataD and some are harmless.
Tetanus is among the fatal germs"
The germ will remain alive If the little
wound is treated in the manner indi-
Gated above. lockjaw is very likely to
develop. and medical aid is probably
summoned too late to render proper as
sistance. The writer referred to sug-
gests that II the wound is properly
washed with an antiseptlc at the start
the germ will be killed. This is a treat
ment used by many hospital surgeons.
and the records of hospitals show no
fatal results OF such wounds, where
treatment has been given from the be-
ginning.
1t is pointed out that the lesson of
the "tetanus epidemic" is a demonstra-
ton of the germ theory. and Their: is, as
New York contemporary puts 1t, no
real necessity at this day for deaths
from pin or cat claw or finger nail
scratches. but utter ignorance may be
offered as the excuse. II man who is
his own lawyer generally has fool for

press is ridiculous to entomologists."
II there Is anything In Mr.. welth's
claim that his collection Is composed Of
the sort Of bug which = the sensation
of the hour. It explodes the statements
that are being made that they have
been brought here from the Philippines
In returning naval vessels. That story
Is a rejection on the navy. for the
American naval crews are NOT carrying
pests about with them. Cleanliness
and discipline are characteristic Of
them. In the year and a quarter that
our ships and military have been In the
Philippines, no mention has been made
in any sort Of report, newspaper. in
letters from soldiers, oficlals or sailors,
Of such a terror.
There is no doubt that there is a
bug Of this nature in greater evidence.
because we find 50 many of It's victims.
and its pictures in the newspapers in
various parts of the country all agree
In Important features; Its entomology
lcal name is "Melanolestes PecIpes."
That 1t is not native to this soil has not
been determined. Perhaps the Philip
pine story is an 'anH-lmperlalist' Joke.
