LOCKJAW GERM
Compels Everybody To Go Shod In
Havana. Children Naked Other

Havana correspondence New York
Sun: Two grown men went str0lling
unconcernedly up the center of the Pa
dro the other afternoon with a stark
naked girl baby rodding along between
them. Not stitch did the child have
on except q pair of rope bottomed
slippers. Her little brown body was as
fat as butter ball and glistened in the
sun as though it had been oiled.
"Heavens!" calculated Yankee just
come to town. "Would int at come and
get you? sUp the Padre, the SWEETEST
street in town. with nothing on but a
pair of slippers. That's certainly next
door to wearing q pleasant smile.'
Its little rare said the other
American who had been here longer,
Ito see q kid like that, but in the
country it's so common that no one
pays any attention to them. In the
city q sense ofs delicacy generally
prevails to prevent it, usually with the
encouragement Of the police. But no
matter how little else child or grown
person may have on you'll never find
any of them, not even the poorest,
without those slippers. That seems
strange to none of US who were brough t
up in the south, where even the chill
dren of the fairly well TODD go bare
footed. No, sir, if Whittier had lived
AROUND ddVdDa ne u never nave written
his Barefoot Boy With Cheeks Of Tan ,
The cheeks of tan are here all right,
down to the last shade of dead, dead
black, but he wouldn't have found q
bsrefooted boy unless he'd caught him
rolling out of bed.
"Tnere is q mighty good reason too,
for not going barefooted in Havana
The streets of this city are permeated
with the filth of cen turtles, and among
the agglomerated COLLECTION of bacilli
appears in large and virulent force
the lockjaw germ. Tetanus is very
common disease here and the people
have learned that it is dangerous to
go bare1ooted. An abrasion on the foot
is quite likely to give the undertaken
a job unless immediate care is taken
of 1T, and even the poorest people pre-
fer TO go about with their feet pro
tected. The fact that the stone pave
ments are frighttully hot in the sun,
and that stone floors, so common in the
houses are cold is another reason for
wearing shoes or slippers. It's
mighty uncomfo BILE, walking on hot
tagging barefooted, and it's mighty
dangerous walking with feet uuclad
about q marble floored bedroom. All
the doctors warn Americans against
the latter practie. it leads to sciati-
ca, rheumatism and colds of all sorts.
Yes-sir-ree. You must wear shoes in
Havana. You can get pair of those
rope-soled ones that the poorest dark

ago, and have returned.
OThese gentlemen together with Mr..
Withersbee and Colonel Owen, who is
interested 10 the establishment OF
colonies of people on the bay of Topolo-
bampo, formed a party that are now
ont over the route of the G. & P,
making tour of inspection.
Officials of this road who, a week
ago, denied knowledge of any scheme
looking to the absorption of the Chi
hushus & Pacific line, now admit that
there is som ething in the wind"
OF course the talk has heretofore
been that the Sierra Madre railway
would ultim stely form the connecting
link in Mexico for some great through
line. That may come. but just now
you couldn't convince a citizen OF Chi
hushua that the first line to come will
not strike this city, which means that
the @. aud P. line, rather than the
Sierra Madre is considered in the
Kansas City, Mexico and Orient rail-
wsy.
The fact not generally known. that
the stock holders in one OF these Next
can lines are interested in the other
leaves the uninitiated to do some tall
guessing as to just what may be done,
inasmuch like wise as both re ads have
the same objective point
The arrangements now under wav
may mean the consolidation of three
lines rather than two. While this
little matter is being settled, the belief
ia growing that the Stillweil road is q
certainty for the future.

LIVE STOCK CENSUS
Some Of the Benefits That Will AC-
Crue TherefrOm.'

The matter OF compiling statistics OF
the next census is being undertaken In
no one department more thoroughly
than ia that devoted to live stock in
terests. The census bureau has given
the supervision of the live STOCK census
into the hands OF the national live
stock association. The cooperation OF
al stock owners is urgently requested
and il is plainly to the interests TO lend
every aid.
Some of the results to be obtained by
the census may be mentioned as follows:
F'irst-The. censuswills show the exact
mum Der of live stock in the country,
ages, sex, breed and location by states
and territories. This inform alton
alone Is of the utmost value to stock
men as il enables them to estimate
closely by comparisons, approximate
conditions that affect the commercial
value of their holdings.
Second-The census will provide a
basis for estimating closely the value of
all kinds of live stock and the approx
mate cost of growing the same in var
ious sections. This Information will be
of value to every man in the live stock
business, all of whom are affected by
such economic problems.
Third-This census will furnish the
basis for future operations in keeping
track of the visible supply of cattle of
commerce for the guidance and infor-
nation of all stockmen. 1t Is not the
intention of the Nationsl Live Stock
association to take this census ADD stop
there. To gain the best results, steps
will be taken to continue the work,
either by the association or through
governmental "a d. This will provide
constant and reliable Information upon
which to base commercial transactions
in the markets.

HENRY W. MOORE
The Efficient And Popular
Pastor Of The
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Resigns On Account OF Ill Health
The Resolutions Adopted BY
His Congregation.

His Congregation.
The following letter gives sorrow to
the many friends of Rev. Henry w.
Moore in Ell Paso:
My DEAR FRIENDS:-After an ILL
which time | have not been able to do
any work 1 think it due you that l
should say something definite as to the
prospect OF my continuing the work
here.
1 am still quite unwell. Ny strength
returns very slowly. l believe l am
getting better but it will be, perhaps,
months before 1 can do hard work.
Again, l think with my physician that
even then the work here which has
grown so heavy will be too exacting
for me. An attempt to carry on the
work here after my illness would in all
probability lead to another sickness
which would end fatally.
In the meantime this church needs q
pastor. 1t needs oEe now. The work
must be kept up.
In view of these facts after being
with you as your pastor for nearly
three years and a half | now offer my
resignation. l wish you to thank our
Heavenly Father for bis amazing good
ness to US as church during these
years. Beyond our expectations has
the work grown. In taking my leave 1
want to thank you for your support. l
thank you for your sympathy aud love
which has cheered me In many an
hour. L thank you for the privilege
of sharing with so many of you your
joys and sorrows and of entering with
you into the most sacred experiences
of life. l thank those outside of the
church mem bership for their interest.
Among them [ have many valued
FIJI A. md al - IL
their genuine sympathy. One Of my
deepest regrets Is that l leave them out
of Christ. Surely no minister has re-
ceived more Dathy and good will
from all classes thau have l. Never
have L preached the Gospel to more at
teutive and appreciattve hearers.
L pray that you may be divinely led
in choosing your next pastor. May he
come to you FULL of the message of
hope, love, pardon. peace, victory.
Men and women will listen to such q
gospel. Their hearts yesrn for 1t. l
beg you while you cooperate with all
organizations for good that you stand
by this church. She has been planted
here of God. Rally at all times to her
support. God has yet great work for
her here. See that this church is a
resl blessing to this city-a spring OF
comfort and strength to all who
worship here.
AS for my labors among you-all I
can say is that | have worked hard and
have done my best. Ii [ know my own
heart L have preached the word to you
in the full light of the judgement
throne. l trust we have been mutually
helpful. l now, my dear people, give
back to you the sacred RESPONSE bility
you placed on me when | first became
your pastor.

SOUTH READ OUT OF UNION.

The New York Sun Is about to read
the South out of the Union. 1t signlfi-
cantIy remarks, ''We want to go ahead
and work out our National destiny
without further disturbance from
them"-the Southern people. The Sun
voices the scheme of reducing the
South's strength in congress and the
electoral college. AS suggested by Mr..
Bryan, enoroachments beyond our bor-
ders will lead inevitably to encroach-
ment at home if Imperialism triumphs
in November. When Porto Rico can
be governed as a subject colony.
South or North Cardinals turn may
come next, This utterance by the Sun
is one of the most offensive and signifi-
cant that has yet been heard in this
campaign.

THE CHINESE CAN TEACH Us.

The Chinese can give the politicians
of this country valuable points in the
way of making an Office profitable.
For example, the Mayor of Shanghai
gets a salary of 81, 500 year. Tt costs
him at least $500, 600 to get the posi-
ton, as offices have to be bought in
China, just as they do in some por-
ton of these United States. How
does the Mayor of Shanghai make
money? it may be asked, Just SO we
might ask how can politicians in this
country afford to pay several times as
much to get an Office as the salary
amounts to? Well, we don't know and
wouldn't tell, anyhow.
But the Chinese case is another mat
ter. This Shanghai Mayor told Frank
G, Carpenter, the noted correspondent,
that he could easily net $3.50, 900 per an
mum from his Office. and that he want
ed to hold it longer, because each day
IN future would be worth 81, 600 to him
if he could hold on. That is how and
why he could afford to pay well for the
office,
Then there was magistrate-only
magistrate-in one of the towns,
whose salary was $75 month, but it
was plain that he was spending more
than ten times that amount. The cor
respondent put some cautious inquiries
and Yuen, the official, slyly admitted
that he could make not less than $4,000
per annum out of the place, That IS
another evidence that buying an Office
it China is a good speculation.
But they are all alike. Bribery and
corruption are breathed in the nostrils
of the Celestials. It has become part OF
| tu6IE 1ILGs anu all OL1CIdI VI SupAOy
who will act honestly and remain poor
is q poor idiot who does not deserve
any favor. And this venality begins at
the top. The old Empress Dowager
has the reputation of being one of the
most irresistible "squeezers" in the
kingdom. No man can get favor OF
position at her hands without paying
we'll for it, and her fortune is immense,
but nobody knows what it is.
As an example of the influence fol
evil exerted by the head of the house,
Mr.. Carpenter tells of the principal
eunuch of the royal household and his
methods Through him all applica-
tions for loyal favors were virtually
required to pass, and so many of the
brides and emoluments stuck to hif
hands that he died short while age
worth thirty million dollars. He slmp
ly made good use of his opportunities
and practiced what seems to be the
universal doctrine in China. -Auguste

TIE BLAINE IRISH FOR BRYAN.

That powerful and influential coterie
of Irishmen in this country, known as
the Blaine Irish, who were so loyal and
devoted to the "Plumed Knight" and
who supported Harrison and Mckinley,
are now ardent supporters of Bryan
and Stevenson, In all the large cities
of the North and West they are organ
izing Bryan Irish Leagues, and the
leaders are fully confident that 80 per
cent of the Irish-American vote Will be
cast for the Democratic national ticket.
Aside from the fact that they are
bitterly opposed to imperialism and the
secret alliance which the Republican
administration has arranged with Great
Britain, Mckinley did not give them
single appointment, and the only way
in which he recognized the support
they gave him in 1896 was by writing
a letter of recommendation for Arch
bishop Ireland to the French people,
on the occasion of the prelate's Fourth
of July address in Paris. Such a let
ter, however, was of little value, for
the reason that Archbishop Ireland is
better known to the French than the
occupant of the White House.
Headed by the Nestor of Irish Catho-
lie journalism in American-the man
who has always fought for his native
land with might and main; who raised
millions of dollars in the days of the
famine and for the Land League-Pat-
rick Ford, editor of the Irish World,
the Blaine Irish are likely to cut a
wide swaJh in the campaign.
Then there is Patrick Eagan, minis
ter to Chile under President Harrison,
and Colonel John f. Finerty, editor of
the Chicago Citizen; Father Cronin,
editor of the Buffalo Union and Times,
all staunch Republicans up to the time
of this stampede into the Bryan camp.
While we have no CONNIE Mt to offer as
to the causes other than what we have
already said, this change of sentiment
is certainly significant of the drift of
the times.-New Orleans States.

Chicago has been troubled with wo-
man with peculiar mania, that of hat
snatching. It seems she got it into
her head that no woman should wear a
hat that did not become her. Probably
most women have the same mania, but
only with regard to Intensely s-that is
they do not seek to dictate to others.
The Chicago woman, however, whenever
she met woman whose hat did not
seem to suit, would snatch it from her
head and trample it under foot. Fin
ally Chicago woman who objected to
this sort of censorship handed her
over to the police, It was one Of the
crusades that did not go in Chicago.
