BLEACHING A NEGRO.
Strange Story from Vienna De-
sOribing the Wonderful IF
feet of Electricity.

Two years ago, according to the vi
emma Fremdenblatt, a Viennese mer-
chant brought back from a business
trip in Africa a Soudanese negro 10
years old, named Ibual Lacho.
1bual soon learned the ways of vi
emma, beginning with the German Ian
guage, astonishing the boulevards with
elegant costumes and finally acquiring
certain fashionable nervous disorders.
These famous homeopathic specialist
subjected to electrical treatment.
Strange to say, Ibual began to grow
white, gradually passing through the
coftee-and-milk stages until he became
in complexion Caucasian, though the
shape Of his face remained unchanged.
1buaps doctor thinks that the black
pigment in the boys skin was gradual
ly disintegrated and washed out, as it
were, by the electric current. The chief
coloring matter, melanin, or 'pip-
mentum nigrum. found in the eye, hair
and skin of the negro, contains iron
and strongly reacts upon electrical APP
plication. ...
American physicians will hardly
know how seriously to take this report
IL is well known, however, that negroes
are much more susceptible to the nc
ton OF electricity than white men.
There have been several cases. of the
severe burning of negroes by the ap-
plication Of the x ray, usually harm
ess to white skins. It is now general
ly considered dangerous to X-ray a
black man.

THE INTELLIGENT VOTER.


Tho @carefulness" OF the intelligent
voter who would make sure OF his
vote is being forcibly drawn to the
attention by the contest for the Gov
ernorship, which is going on at Car
son. Every mark within the scope Of
the ingenuity of man was employed
% by the voters of Nevada at the last
election. Any mark but the right
one, OF course, invalidates the ballot,
and the care of many voter to pro-
tect his favorite candidate resulted
in the loss to that candidate Of well
intended vote. There are many born
80 wise that it is absolutely unueces-
sary for them to learn anything but
that which comes from within, and
the voters under consideration are Of
that class. No suggestion that the
ignorant election officer might make,
no foolish provisions of the election
law, would lead the wise born voter
to sacrifice his individuality and
make his ballot other than according
to his conception as to how it should
be marked.-Silver State.

to tears. He said: "Gentlemen, 7 have

near me several times, but never felt such
profound emotion as feel now." -
As the Spanish flag WAS lowered 1t was
replaced by the Stars and Stripes, and as
the latter foated to the breeze It was
saluted with tweaty-one guns.
After the ceremony General Castellanos,
instead Of bidding his friends goodby, led
an immediate and fearful procession to the
water front, where he took launch for the
steamer Ribot, vowing he would never
again set foot on Cuban soil.
Major-General Brooke, after the depar-
ture Of General Castellanos, held recep-
tlon In the palace salon, the various off,
cials paying their respects and pro missing
allegiance to the United States.
After the American flag had been hoist

tremendous cheering by the crowd that
had assembled in Obispo and O'Reilly

persons cheered the Americans and the

Cubans were decorated, the flags that had

and send them to the hills to become ban

Of her troubles in Cuba.
It Is believed General Wood Is desirous
OF seeing the President on this subject. He
expresses the emphatic opinion that the
customs receipts should be expended In
the respective provinces in which they are
taken, with the exception OF such per-
centage for Havana as may be necessary
for governmental expenditure, geological
surveys and other features Of public busl-

There was a mass meeting here few
days ago Of business men OF all kinds to
protest against the order from Havana.
It was held In the plaza, and was attended
by 5000 persons. Energetic speeches
were made against the policy Of CEN
tralizing money ut Havana. Most Of
which It was now proposed to put
into effect again had been fought
against by them for thirty years. All were
exceedingly eulo2istic In their references
to General Wood, imploring him to use his
influence with the Washington Govern
ment against revival OF one Of the worst

HAVANA, Cuba (By Cable) General Max
imo Gomez, Chief OF the
Cuban Army, was recently invited by the
Junta Patriotica to visit Havana. At a
meeting OF the Junta on Tuesday letter
was read from General Gomez, in which he
refused to come to the city, basing his re-
fusal on the ground that his place Is at the
head Of the army. he added: Much tact
and wisdom are necessary to make the
American heel less severe on our necks.
You need to display great Intelligence,
ability and well-directed energy"
In q proclamation addressed to the
Cuban people and army General Gomez
says: "a new era has begun. The en-
emies of our army are leaving the coun-
try, and the sovereignty Of the island,
which Is neither free nor inde-
pendent, is exercised by the great
American nation. According to the
treaty OF peace foreign Power Is
on the island, and its military occupa-
tion cannot end until the Government OF
the Cuban people is establis he'd. We,
ought to Immediately put ourselves to the
task OF forming that government In order
to end the American intervention as quick
" as possible, but before this 1t Is neces-
sary, because 1t Is just, and in order that
all OF US can become civilians, to end sat-
isfactorily the negotiations for the pay
ment Of the army, debt contracted by the
country with its faithful soldiers. While
the army Is not paid and our Government
not established will remain at the head
OF the army, which deem Is my place. I
am resolved to Help the Cubans and the
work to which have devoted all my life."
