THE REPORT INCORRECT.
An Alleged Epidemic of Typhoid
Docs Not Exist.

NEWPORT r. l., Oct. 1.-THE authori-
ties at the naval training station dsny the
statement sent out last night by the AS
sociated Press as to an epidemic of typhoid
fever among the apprentice boys. and de-
clare that the report that eleven cases
have developed in the past forty eight
hours is absolutely incorrect.
the past ten days eleven cases of. typhoid
in mild form have appeared, = but the sick
report gives the illness as influenza"
Capt ]. J. Hunker says there is no ty-
phoid on the island, the boys being sick
from colds accompanied by some fever
which is natural. He does not care about
the story other than for uneasiness it may
cause among the parents of the boys.

Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1899-01-05

Pine Bluff last year supported 27 licensed saloons. Thus far only l6 licenses have been applied for. There is not near so much drinking in this country as formerly and if is very seldom we see a man in his cups sufficiently to roll about on the streets. A good set of police who will treat the genteel drunkard to the same kind of treatment as he does the hobo, would soon reform the tippling world, but then the pc lice don't do this in albcases, for We have known them to hire carriages and go off their beats to take a gen teel drunkard home to keep him from being placed in the jug with men who did not cut up half as bad as the genteel fellow. We do not write this as local hlt, for we have lived elsewhere in our life and have been obseryant in these mat ters. -Texarkanian.

The Lott Road .

A telegram from Hot Springs dis cussing the purchase of the Lott road by Col FordYce Wednesday, says:
 It is learned from the best author ity that an understanding exists be. tween the purchasers of the Lott road, the Choetaw and Memphis, Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf and the Texas Midland to the effect that in the event of the sale and completion of the Lott road from this city to Little Rock, the Texas Midland would extend it's Hae to Mena, Ark, there connecting with the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf. The latter company would then build into this city, connecting with the Lott road, and that traffic arrangements would be effected with the Choetaw and Memphis company thus giving Hot Springs excellent railroad facilities.
 From the above dispatch 1t would seem that Little Rock and Hot Springs are to have several addi- tional and important railroad con neehons.
 It behooves the people of Pine Bluff to keep an eye on this railroad building, and should the above con nections be made, a hne should cer- tainly be built from Pine Bluff to Benton or Malvern,
 Pine Bluff people should be awake and vigilant as to their interests.

Wheeler,s Way.

Those who believe that General Joe Woeeler's virtues as a soldier are so paramount that his possession of the clements of civic wisdom are totally eclipsed thereby ought to read the excellent suggestion, made after his return from San tiago, re specting the education of Cuban youth. The Generals plan is that each American college shold offer a free scholarship to at least cne young Cuban.
 When he first broaehed the idea to several college presidents besaid: ''It occurred to me that if each col lege in the United States would con sent to give one Cuban free tuition it would result bene6eially in many ways. For this offer to be published in Cuban papers would impress them with the generous disposition of our people. Cubans educated at our colleges would return to Cuba with correct ideas regarding our people and the whole tendency of the arrangement would be to in crease. mutual confidence and re- spect".
 The old soldier deftly brings the argument of human selfshnegs to re.enferce the benevolent side of the proposition by saying that it would not cost the colleges much, while some recompense would accrue

to them in their becoming known to the people of the island, who would patronize them freely as soon as better times should come.
 Philanthropy and common sense lie behind General Wheeler's plan. Mir. G. K. Harrison, of Union Col lege, who was authorized to com munieate with the American col .leges concerning the scheme, has already received owes loo favorable replies.
 Cuba's educational system, so- called, affords practically DO avenue for obtaining the higher education, General Whee!er's method, under existing conditions, appears to hold out the best and most practical op portunities for bestowing the ad- vantages of a college course upor bright young Cubans.
