An I.Iand of Mushrooms.

Washington possesses just now a
little wonder of the world in the form
of most phenomenal growth of sew
eral edible species of mushrooms. This
wonder can be found on the island in
the Potomac on the south side of the
bathing beach, and west of the long
bridge. The rich soil made in recent
years by the dredgings of the river
has produced luxuriance of growth
of fungi that can probably not be seen
anywhere else, and if they continue
to increase in the ratio they have done
these last few months we may venture
to state that the entire island will
soon be one solid mass of edible musb-
rooms-Washircto Star.

BABYIsH BOYS.
Mothers Are often to Blame for
Their sons Lack of Nam
Illness.

No woman admires babyish man,
yet one frequently sees a mother train
ing a babyish boy. He comes in pou1-
ing and crying because some one treats
him unfairly, or the fellows won't let
him play, or he has met with fall, and
everyone is to blame but himself.
His mother coddles and pets him;
criticises the other boys; gives him
piece of cake, and keeps him in with
her.
The boys don't like to play with him.
They call him mothers darling and
baby boy, and they get rid of him in
every way as soon as possible. He is
peevish, selfish and overbearing at
home, but that is interpreted as Sc
quence of his playmates spelling him.
This kind of boy grows up and takes
his fretful, fault-fnding, unlovable dis
position with him. He has no luck in
the world. His mother only is patient
with him, but even she cannot be proud
of, nor lean lovingly on, such a son.
How much better would it be for
mother kindly to show her little son
his fault! And in so doing she need not
lose sympathy for any real hurt or
childish sorrow.
AS rule, mothers consider their own
offspring entirely superior to other chill
dren; they listen to one-sided tale,
and harshly judge the otb2r side, and
in consequence neighbors fall out and
children are encouraged to disagree
a twofold injury.
''The other boy didn't mean to hurt
you, Johnnie" was a wise woman's re-
ply to her complaining son. 81 have

way, and very likely you do other
naughty things, so you really have no
right to get mad. Besides, it will only
make other children laugh at you and
call you names. Now you must put
stop to that by showing them that you
can be manly, and are willing to take
hurts mamma to see you babyish."
Such course as this mother pursued
was most sensible; it developed the
child's sense of right, of justice and un-
selfishness.
If you. think it a slight thing,
mothers, you are mistaken. You take
the easiest way to rid yourselves of
the matter, really and metaphysically,
and caution him to "Iet those boys
alone"
Ii ms playmates are really bad, 1T
,, is your business to know it, and guard
your son from contamination; but you
do him an injury to keep him from the
company of other rollicking, sturdy,
good-natured boysboys in the full
est sense of the word.
Some time he must match his strength,
physically and morally, with his kind;
he must battle with life and its prob
lens when mother is powerless to
shield him from the worlds hard
knocks.
Some time he and you must awaken
to the knowledge that it is only by
courageously meeting disappointments'
and discouragements that manly
strength natures. Happy is the boy
who has had that wise help and that
sometimes wiser letting alone, when
occasion demands, which inures and en-
mobiles his moral muscle!-Housewife

cabIegrams referred mainly to the pro-
gress of the preparations for battle
with the full strength of Aguinaldo's S
forces No instructions have been given
to General Otis, the full responsibility
for the campaign being laid upon his
shoulders. The Department here wisely
concludes that hampering him, either
with orders or suggestions, at the pres
ent time would be entirely out Of place.
OF one thing department officials are
absolutely certain, and this is that there
is to be a continued advance of the
American forces. A temporary victory
will be merely an episode of the for
ward movement. General Otis troops
propose to press forward until the
American flag flies over the insurgent
capital at Malolos. 1t is not doubted
in official circles here that this an
nouncement will be forthcoming within
a very brief period.
Among the preparations which Cen
eral Otis has made Is to obtain thirteen
former Spanish gunboats. An effort
was made some time ago to buy these
vessels, but the Spanish authorities pre-
ferred rather to accept a smaller price
from a Hongkong firm than to sell
them TO the Americans. General Otis
has bought them of the Hongkong firm.
Seven are in good condition and will
be Immediately put in service, while
the rest will be commissioned as rapidly
as they are repaired.

a bucket, while the floor is covered
with tubs and utensils of all kinds to
catch the dripping rain which perme-
ates the ceiling. His bedclothing is
saturated, his room steams with foul
smelling moisture and his groaning
lips betoken the stress of agony
brought about by his miserable sur
roundings.
In an adjoining room lie three bed
ridden Cinnamon, suffering the last
stages of the dread disease. There
are but three dry spots in the room
and these are. fortunately, large
enough to accommodate the three
beds. All around the apartment there
is a confused tumble of clothing,
utensils, medicine bottles and para
phernalia of the sick room, soaked
with the constantly dropping water
from the ceiling.
Across the hall and along the corri-
dor is the women's ward. In a bed
protected by a waterproof cover lies
a young girl suffering from an ad-
vanced stage of leprosy. The room
affords less protection than would a
common tent. In order to care for the
girl it became necessary to remove
her to another room-one occupied by
a patient who was not afflicted with
the blight of leprosy.

FILIPIN0S FEAR
VALOR OF AMERICANS

MANILA, March 24.-Two Spanish
prisoners who have escaped from Polo
to the lines of the Kansas regiment re-
port that the Filipinos have concen-
trated their forces at Malabon and
Polo. They add that only Aguinaldo's s
bodyguard is at Malolos. and that the
rebel leaders apparently intend to stake
their fortunes on a fight at Malabon,
where it was expected an engagement
would take place yesterday. If de-
feated, it is further asserted. the rebels
intend to disperse to the swamps and
mountains.
The rebels were putting their bolo
men in front, believing that the bolo
mems charms will avert the bullets.
The bolo wielders of the Filipinos
greatly outnumber their rifemen. The
rebels are further said to have admitted
that they cannot Withstand the Ameri-
can shells and bayonet charges.
The escaped Spaniards corroborated
the stories told of food shortage among
the rebels, and they added that the hos
pitfalls are short of supplies.
According to Filipino accounts a
thousand Americans have been killed
near Manila, the fatalities being
especially heavy at Calocan. where
the United States troops rushed like
madmen against storm Of bullets"

Adjoining this room was one occu-
pied by a half -demented old woman.
The same condition of moisture pre-
vailed and the bed was tilted against
the wall in order to avoid, as much
as possible, the falling water. In the
center of the floor was a puddle of
filthy water, while around the edges
was a reeking accumulation of foul
dirt.
But the story is the same over and
over again as the rooms are investi-
gated, until the heart grows sick with
the horror of it all and the throat
tightens and the eyes moisten with
the contemplation of those who are
confined for no crime except mis-
fortune. and who are punished
through the criminal neglect of the
city administration.
The entire place is a shame and
lasting disgrace to the city. The
rotting rafters preclude new shingles
and each fresh gust of wind sends
the old ones down to add to the ac-
cumuIation of debris in the yard. The
walls sag, bend and bulge under the
pressure of the superstructure, whose
sodden timbers have become TOO
heavy for the weakened support, and
strong props are necessary TO Keep
the whole affair from crumbling to
the ground.

was approaching the mountain end of

Travellers Trials in Rebel
Country From MalabOn
to Dagupan.

Special Cable to The Call and the New York
Herald. Copyrighted, 1899. by James Cor
don Bennett.
MANILA, March 24.-Following are
personal experiences of a travelea,
through the rebel country from Mala-
bon to Dagupan:
'I left Malabon a fortnight ago and
arrived at Polo. From there I was sent
back by a general, being badly treated.
I started again next day, walking, but
was halted by sentries I said I passed
yesterday why not today and was
allowed to pass and arrived at the rail-
way station at Meycanyan, where I
got a train to Malolos.
"Aguinaldo guaranteed my safety
along the line Of the railway. He ad-
vised English residents to take a
steamer waiting at SuaI. All the Eng
lish are allowed to leave. but two
Americans are held prisoners in Calum-
pit, and daily undergo bad treatment.
1.-The natives are arrogant and have
no respect for Europeans. They re-
spected Aguinaldo's pass, but spoke
loudly of how spies are tortured. The
entire population are under arms. They
are forbidden to plant any crops ex-
cept rice.
There is immense enthusiasm in the
Tagallo provinces. Farther north the
natives want peace. Food and money
are abundant. A large quantity of am
munition is being manufactured, the
principal depot being at Bacolor in the
province Of Pampangas.
Every town is defended by good
trenches. Coast towns are deserted and
prepared for burning, if the Americans
in the principal towns, but there are
reports of anarchy in the interior.
Chinese are often murdered and
robbed, and Spanish prisoners are
quartered in a town in the interior.
There are large numbers at San Fer
nando in the province of Pampangas.
Luna, the Minister Of War, is anti
foreign. He ordered foreigners to take
up arms on pain of death. Aguinaldo
obliged him to retire and Plantation
Garcia took Office. He is more cour-
teous.
"The English embarked On the SuaI
steamer and were unmolested Man
ayers of rice mills at Corona and Bay
ambapg and Mr.. Higgins, manager Of
the railway, remained behind to pro-
tect their interests. Higgins has no
authority. Insurgent leaders run the
railway and move the rails and bridges
to suit their plans.
MANY rich Filipinos at San Fer
nando wished to escape to Hongkong
for fear that the Americans will suspect
that they support the insurgents. 1t is
firmly believed in the provinces that
the Americans have suffered great re-
verses. The insurgents are confident Of
the ultimate success of Aguinaldo."

through the leaky roof. hud-
~ ding under bedcovers for pro-
lection against the inclement
weather and having their disease ac-
centuated and increased by exposure,
the twenty-one patients IN the City

evidence of the city's crime against
civilization and humanity.
For thirty years the buildings have
stood-an unclean monument of in
efficiency and neglect. To-day they
are a blight and a curse on the COM
munity.
Not a curse because Of the loath-
some diseases confined within their
walls Not a blight because Of the
infectious miasms arising from the
unfortunate patients herded and i'm
prisoned through their misfortune.
They are a stigma on humanity be-
cause of the awful neglect on the part
of those in official position and the
complaisance of the Christian COM
munity which blinds it's eyes to the
horrible conditions and shuts its ears
to the wall of the Outcasts.
Twenty-one men and women, aff1ict-
ed with that most loathsome of all

high walled yard and in houses that
fail to shelter from either wind or

houses bat four are in condition to
keep their occupants dry. The big

wherein the inmates can sit in COM
fort while they partake of their food.
The floor of the dispensary is a pool
