ing of cannon and the cheers OF hun
dreds of people, Admiral George Dew
ey arrived today. For the next three

in the streets surrounding the station,
and had packed to sutfocaton the
big depot building itself. When the
whitemoustached naval hero was seen
roar of cheers went up.
The route of the parade to the hotel
was along Fifth avenue to Jackson
boulevard, thence down Michigan ave-
nue to the hotel Along those streets
for hours before the arrival of Admir-
al Dewey were gathered crowds that
literally packed the sidewalks and that
kept the police busy from filling the
streets also, and the cheering started
at the depot swept along the streets as
the admiral and his party We're slowly
driven to their apartments, the ap-
plause being almost without cessation
until the admiral entered the hotel.

Il reception by the Canadian-American
Association, which presented an invi-
tation to him to visit Canada ut his

its height.

Women worse Than Flies.

New York, May IA dispatch to the
World from London says:
Frederick Treves, the famous sur
geon, who has Just returned from the
war, was entertained, together with
Sir William MacCormack, at a ball at
the Reform Club Saturday night pre-
sided over by Lord Rosebery. Mr..
Treves took occasion to administer a
stinging rebuke to the smart women
suffering from khaki fever, who have
gone as alleged nurses to the front.
He said:
$50 far as the sick are concerned,
there are only two plaques in South
Africa-the plague Of flies and the
plague Of women. The flies we get rid
of by horsehair wisps, and other ap-
pliances. and the flies at least depart
at night. But the women are abso-
lutely and really Il terror. They came
out in the guise of amateur nurses aft
er having exhausted every other form
of excitement.
considering that we are engaged in
Il war. the number Of well dressed la
dies at Cape Town and elsewhere Civ

Others in Danger.

Marinette, Wis, April 3O.-Forest
fires ragged furiously north of Fisher,
Michigan, along the right of way of
the Wisconsin and Michigan railway
Saturday and Sunday. The property
damage will be large. The town of
Ames, Michigan, was practically wiped
out entailing Il loss of $3O,OOO or more.
Considerable cedar stock at Nathan,
Michigan, was also destroyed. The

train up the line Sunday to rescue the
tire-stricken people in the small vii
lagos along the road. All the inhabit
ants of the towns of Ames and Nathan
We're taken to Pembine for safety.

Michigan passenger which left here
last night was unable to get further
north than Fisher. At the latter place
only heroic resistance stved the town.

north of here, and further damage will
result unless there is rain. The coun-
try is very dry and the fires spread rap
idly.

right of way of the Milwaukee road
north of Ellis Junction.
Further reports are to the effect that
the forest fires are spreading and great
concern is felt for all towns north

In the early part of the century the
query. Who buys an American book?"
expressed English appreciation Of Am
erican literature before Longfellow.
Bryant, Emerson, Lowell, Hawthorne
and others won hearing and recogni.
ton abroad. Until very recently a sim
liar query might almost be made as
to American art-"Who buys an Amer
lean picture?" Recent auctions In New
York show that not only are there per-
sons who buy American pictures, but
they pay good prices for them. It ia
said that not less than $500,000 has
been paid within the last twelve
months for pictures by American ar

The tenement house committee Of
the Good Government clubs, having
efected great improvements in the
housing of the New York poor, now
presents some figures which must ap-
peal even to the greediest OF capital
hts. Buildings erected on sanitary
principles, with plenty of light and
air. water, heating facilities and other
conveniences, are paying dividends of
from twelve to fifteen per cent, while
the sQualid and unhealthy dwellings
beside them can hardly be forced to
yield five and six per cent. In one
tenement house the average rent of
rooms is eighty-fve cents a week,
and the room has at least one window
with clear sunlight. For every tenant
there is running water and steam heat.
together with free bath and laundry
privileges in the basement. This
building has never paid less than 10
per cent, while the dilapidated and un-
comfortable houses which adjoin it
psy only per cent. Here is some-
thing for the landlords to think about.
