On one occasion. says the Column
bian, Lord Norbury, of England, OBJ
served an attorney of doubtful reputa-
ton prospecting in the dock for bust
ness, and determined to make an ex-
ample of him. Just as the attorney
was climbing over the rails of the
dock into the courthis lordship called
out:
"Jailor, one of your prisoners is
escaping. Put him back"
Back the attorney was thrust, and
the following colloquy ensued:
my lord, there is a mistake here.

81 am very sorry, indeed" said
Lord Norbury, ''to see n of your
profession in the dock"
"But, my lord, I am innocent"
"Yes, they all say that" was the
Judges reply. "a jury of your own
fellow countrymen must settle it."
''l3ut, my lord" exclaimed the now
desperate man, ''there is no indict-
menb against me-"
''1lhen," said his lordship, "you
will be put back, and if no one ap-
peafs to prosecute, you will be dis
charged by public proclamation at the
end of the assizes."

Over his "pince-nez" he eyed the other

looked at him with the amused, in

a soldier of the Scaforth Highlanders

OUR MEN IN CUBA. HEALTHY
Major Hazard Suggests That Native
Troops Would Do Well,

WASHINGTON, D. G. (SpeciaD.-Surgeon-
General Sternberg has received a personal
letter from Major valery Hazard, Chief
Surgeon Of the Department OF Santiago
and Puerto Principe, in which he gives de-
tails of an extended trip through the two
provinces with General Wood. He says
they lave a number of posts on the north
coast, and he has been surprised to see
how healthy they are, the percentage OF
sick seldom exceeding five, the trouble be-
Ing mostly malarial.
The men in camps are doing well, espe-
cially in view OF the moral and military
relaxation which prevails In this enervat-
ing climate. Our soldiers are usually we'll
cared for. They are kept away from the
sun, do no fatigue work and drill but lit
tie. The question OF taking care OF
American troops In this climate will al
ways be a serious one and difficult Of solu-
tlon. | believe we should reduce our
troops to the minimum number possible
and organize native regiments, partly Of

the Cubans leads me to think this would
be very successful.

There has been a great deal OF talk
about transatlantic telephony, and,
while the problem is of vast difficulty,
it does not seem entirely impossible
Of solution. In recent paper, though,
Mr.. Spencer has pointed out that since
the minimum difference in time be-
tween any parts of the United States
and Europe is five hours, the business
days do not overlap. Hence, the days
work is practically over in England,
Tor example, before it begins in New
York.
This, of course, works immensely
against the value of the transatlantic
telephone, but not more so than an
other consideration-that of cost. AS
suming the cable to cost IS, 900, 900,
and depreciation, repairs, interest,
etc, to amount to the modest total of
ten per cent, then, with two hours
Of actual use per day (all that reason
ably could be hoped for), the rate for

TYPHOID FEVER AT NEWPORT.
Many Cases Among the Apprentices a

NEWPORT, r. l.. (Special).-For the sec
ond time since 1890 the training station has
an epidemic of typhoid fever. Medical
Inspector siegfried, when called upon to
verify the report, said that many cases OF
typhoid fever had developed within the

The patients are being cared for at tho

1t is not difficult 10 start a ~cocoanui
grove in Porto Rico. The only things
needed are the land and the nuts.
The nuts are LAID upon the top of the
ground, n few inches apart. The all
there is very moist, and after a short
time each nut sends out a sproutfrom
one of the little eyes at its ends. The
sprout grows up into the air, and at
the same time a root shoots out of its
base down into the ground. Within
a few months the sprout has grown
as high as a table. The root is now
broken off and the sprout and nut are
planted where the tree is to stand.
The nut is buried about six inches in
the earth, the sprout remaining above.
The earth is now pressed tightly down
over the nut, and the planting is
done.
The trees there have been set out
irregularly. They should be planted
about fifteen feet apart, or just about
as far rs the trees of our peach orch
ards. This will give 1913 trees per
acre. They begin to bear at five
years, and need practically no Guilt
walton. Grass can be sown in a CO.
coanut orchard and cattle pastured
upon it. Such an orchard in full
bearing would produce, with the pres
ent facilities for shipment, $193 per
acre, with no other labor than the
gathering and shipping of the fruit.
The %cocoanuts ripen all the year
They drop off themselves
when ripe, and the men go daily from
tree to tree to pick up the nuts. Each
nut has a thick green husk upon it.
This is torn off, and the nuts then
look as we see them in our stores.-

REFUGE GIRLS IN A RIOT.

Fairly Wreck the Prison.
POLICE Called in and Forced to Draw
Reyolvers TO Protect Them
selves and Officers.

HUDSON, N. Y. Especially When the Gov
ernor appointed a new Board OF Managers
of the Hudson Reformatory a few months
ago one Of their 1rst acts was the abolish
ment of all corporal punishment. since
the new system las been in force several
outbreaks by the women inmates have
occurred, but nothing In comparison to
that which occurred n few days ago.
The girls mad returned from service In
the chapel when, under the leadership OF
Miss Mccormack, about sixty broke ranks
and commenced to smash and break every
thing in sight, yelling like Indians; fhe
few guards and matrons we're powerless to
subdue them.
The spirit OF riot was communicated to
the rest of the cottage inmates, and soon
800 yelling women were on the rampage.
They tore down gas pipes, water pipes,
wrenehed electric wires from walls,
smashed the fixtures, wrenched the piumo-
ing apart, broke the tables and chairs,
threw them through the windows, carry.
ing glass and sash with them, ana resorteu
to every imaginable 0endlshness.
They ran the hose cart to the hydrant,
attached the hose, and nearly drowned a
matron who demonstrated. These scenes
lasted during the afternoon, when the
Hudson police were sent for. The women
would not surrender, and Chief Lane was
forced to throw some OF them through
the door. Quiet was restored. but
1t was not to last long. Some of
the officers bad gone, and after a
few hours the riot again started,
Obtaining broken pieces OF furniture, and
with yells that were heard in the streets of
Hudson, they again began to break every
thing in sight, They even pulled down
the steam radiators and separated the
pipes. They attacked the guards, knocked
one of the men down and trampled on him.
The police were again sent for, and 1t
took them several hours TO line up the
women. They at one time made a rush on
the officers and Sergeant Cruise was forced
to draw his revolver and point 1t at them
before they would desist.
The destruction done in this last out
break will amount to about 5000 aud a
total for the last four months OF $500.
When tho riot first started Miss May, the
superintendent, demanded order, but was
told by a leader that the State Board OF
Charities had abolished corporal punish
ment. and that they were not afraid of her.

Decision of the Treasury Department
Meats With Eensral AnnrnyaI. :.


New York CRY (speclaD.-News of the
decision OF the Treasury Department to
anticipate the payment OF the November
interest on the war loan OF last year, the
1904 5 per cents, and the 1925 4 per
cents, and, subject to a rebate, to pay the
interest In advance which natures between
November1 next and July /, 1900, was well
received In Wall street.
The payment OF the November interest
was expected, and the additional relief Is
regarded as a bonus, but fully warranted
by the condition Of the Treasury and the
growing stringent money conditions. As a
banker put 1t: "There Is no sentiment
about money; what is needed is money, and
nothing but money can work a change.
The action OF the Government may be re.
sarded as a promise to help. 1t will have
and has had-a sentimental effect on rates,
but until the interest flows into general
circulation the money market conditions
will continue to be ruled by the amount OF
money available and the demand for It,"
