Il PACIFIC CABLE.

AS it is costing the government of this
great, glorious and comparatively free
country about 1000 day for messages
to Manila it is a good time to talk about
structed by the government. Secretary
Long favors such a cable, and yesterday
he appeared before the Senate Commit
tee on Naval Affairs in advocacy of its
construction. 1t appears from the sur
vey that has been made that the pro-
posed cable is entirely practicable. The
idea is to have it run from San Francis
co to Honolulu thence via the Midway
Islands and Guam to Dingala Bay, Is,
land of Luzon, with spur for CONNER
cial purposes to Yokohama. The aver
age depth between Honolulu and Mid
and Guam 5000, and between Guam and
Luzon $500. The cost is estimated at
$1,000 per knot, which, with the amount
necessary for steamers, offices, etc,
would bring the cost up to $10,000,000.
The entire length of the cable would be
1924 knots, which allows 20 per cent.
for slack and detours
1t is big job, but as we are going to
stay in the East it will probably pay us
to have our own cable to connect us
with our new possessions there.

| "reminiscences Of a Lady With Whom
He Stopped in Canada.
Mrs. Lawrence C. Gilbert of Newing-
ton has recently returned from visit
to her aunt, Mrs H. C. Pells of Keene,
N H., who has some interesting remin-
| iscences of Jefferson Davis, the late
president of the defunct southern Con-
federacy Until a short time ago Mrs.
Pells lived at Lennoxville, Quebec, and
she was then Mrs. Clark. Her husband
was the proprietor of a hotel in Lennox.
vile, where Mr.. Davis stopped for a
while when in Canada, before going to
England. Mr.. Davis had been offered
an interest in a Liverpool firm and from
Canada he went to England to investi-
gate the offer. He did not accept it and
after visit to Paris he returned with
his family to America.
1t was while he was in Canada that
Mrs. Pells, then Mrs. Clark, came to
know him well. She was an American
by birth and her antecedents and train
ing made her ardent in the cause of the
North. She had little sympathy for the
president of the fallen republic and
when her husband informed her who
their new guests were she declared she
would have nothing whatever to do

contact with Mr.. Davis and his family
she found them charming, she says, and
her sympathy soon went out to them.
She found Mr.. Davis to be gentleman
or graceful and polished manners and
Mrs Davis proved most winsome wo-
man. The former was then threatened
with vengeance by Americans, who had
not seen him, but his presence seemed
to dispel such feelings and he was not
molested while with the Clarke. The
family received many courtesies from
the most prominent people of Lennox-
Vile and Sherbrooke.
Mrs. Pells still has in her possession
an old-time group photograph Of the
four Davis children, of which she is
very proud. In it the late Miss Winnie
Davis appears as a bright and beautiful
child of two or three years. Mrs. Pells
was very fond Of Winnie and considered
her exceptionally bright. She was full
of expressions of hate and contempt for
the Yankees, and one day Mrs. Pells re-
marked to her, why, Winnie, / am
one Of those Yankees myself" After
hesitating a moment the child replied,
"Well, 7 hate the Yankee men, but I
love the Yankee women Among Mrs
Pells' treasures are the linen sheets
with which Mr.. Davis bed was made
up while he was in the house.
Mr.. Davis was very social, but
despite his fondness for company, he
would seldom talk at all with a friend
except in his own room in the hotel.
He was very particular as to his diet,

NOT UNANIMOUS.

This is a large country, and there
are many kinds of people in it. So it
could hardly be expected that there
would be unanimity Of opinion here
concerning the merits of the war be-
tween the British and the Beers There
isn't The government is neutral, with
a leaning toward Great Britain. The
people are every which way. In New
Haven a committee is collecting money
fo,r the Beers. There are also many
here who are talking for the British.
From Nebraska comes the news of rails
ing a company of COW punchers to go
to South Africa to help the Beers. In
hall to sing 'Rule Britannia" and send
words of comfort to Queen Victoria,
while in Philadelphia a mass meeting
of Beers attracts 1000 persons. In New
Orleans three British transports are
loading American mules for the British
army, to be landed at Cape Town
In New York there are merchants who
are wondering how soon they will re-
ceive pay for the damages sustained
through seizure by English warships
of their flour consigned to Portuguese
South Africa.
And SO forth and SO on. If when the
war is over our attitude is criticized
by either party to the contest it will be
easy to cite contradictory facts.

pleated. This feature was not essen
tial to the beauty of the gown, nor was
it necessary in order to mark the gown
as up to date. Fact is, few pleated
sleeves are seen, though in nearly all

was great. The same cannot be said

IN APPEAL TO U7H.

When Professor Atwater, of Wes-
leyan university, made his report of
the results of his experiments on the
nutritive value of alcohol and stated
that under certain conditions it had a
distinct food value, he probably didn't
realize what stir his report would
make, and he certainly didn't realize
how sharply and even unjustly he
would be assailed. And perhaps he
didn't realize how seriously his report
would be taken by those who looked
upon 1t as IAN attack upon the cause
of temperance. How seriously they
did take it Is indicated by counter
report which has just been made. The
conference Of Christian Workers at
Mortified appointed a committee ito
meet this most recent attack upon the
cause of temperance" The leading
temperance organizations in the United
States appointed committees to cooper
ate with the Mortified committee;
eminent physicians and psychologists
were retained to examine and combat
the views of Professor Atwater, and the
result is now presented to the public in
a sixteen-page pamphlet entitled, IAN
Appeal to Truth The committee and
Its scientific experts concede, as Profess
eor Atwater claims. that alcohol is
oxidized in the body, and that in being
oxidized it furnishes energy to the
body. But it Ia claimed that this proves
nothing in favor of alcohol, because it's
injurious action at the same time far
outweighs the value of the energy it
liberates as Is the case with other pois-
ons oxidized in the body. The claim
that alcohol protects the tissues of the
body from consumption just as eff
fectively as corresponding amounts of
sugar, starch and fats, is held to be
improved by and to be contrary to the
best knowledge on the subject, while it
Is claimed that Professor Atwater's
own tables show loss Of heterogeneous
material when the man experimental
upon took alcohol.
Professor Atwater has not yet made
any reply to the statements made in
IAN Appeal to Truth" but Professor
Conn, who Is at the head of the de-
partment of biology at Wesleyan, says
the whole matter rests upon defini-
ton Professor Atwater, says Profess
sor Conn, has taken one definition and
this committee another Professor At
water maintains that anything that |
builds up tissues, gives energy, OF pro- |
tects tissues is food This committee |
would add some qualifying statement |
9s with a normal action of the body
Now whether alcohol, whose purpose
as a food is to serve as a fuel, pro-
1uces normal action of the body, Pro-
lessor Atwater does not say. He has |
taken the matter up from a purely
standpoint; he has had moth
ng to do with the effects of alcohol on
he crculatory system or the nervous
system. He has said nothing about its
moral effect, yet this committee has
aiken it up from these points Of view.
