about the babies was their compare
tive cleanliness. Not in n positive,
but in negative way. The best that
could be said was that they were not
very dirty. IL seems that they are
not allowed to enter the doctors Of

they are not properly prepared for
treatment-at home, they will be given

tor says, "the worst thing is the
fleas."
Most of the younger of the women
had evidently rebelled against the
custom which requires that they
shave off their beautiful hair at the
time OF marriage and appeared with
out the hiaeous wigs with which the
older ones were adorned. Although
the day was warm few were with
out n wooden shawl around their
shoulders and the children wore Law
ers of heavy clothing. The doctor
frequently said: "Have you not been
here before? Have / not told Won
not to feed your babies at such short
intervals?" They look bewildered and
answer: Yes, but what shall I do
when he eries?" There seems no hone
OF teaching some of these women bet
ter methods. Traditions are handed
down, from generation to generation,
and they are not people who take
kindly to innovations of any kind.
Few speak English well enough to
carry on conversation in that
tongue, and the doctor was COM
PEELED to address them in German.
Occasionally one needed an inter-
prefer in that language.
The faces of many of the little
ones were very pitiful. Instead of be-
ing in nice cool beds, tenderIy cared
for, they were dressed in enough
clothing for three babies and carried
around in the arms of mothers with.

UNDER LUZON WATERS
Rests a o. S. Paymaster's Safe Con-
tanning $4,000 in Silver and
$4OO in Gold.

New York, Feb. 21-When the cruiser
Charleston was wrecked two months
ago on an unchartered reef north of
Luzon, the ships paymaster was COM
PEELED to abandon his money safe, which
contained about 10000 Mexican dollars
and $500 in gold. The weight of this
amount of specie and the strong box
was too great to imperil the lives of the
men set adrift in the open boats with no
certainty Of being able to keep afloat
until land could be reached. It was nee
essary to utilize all spare capacity of
the boats for food and for arms and
ammunition, for fear a landing would
have to be made on a barren shore, or
that sympathizers of AguinaldO would
offer q reception at which guns and
cartridges would be worth more than
Mexican money. The money left be-
hind had been charged against Pay
master Reynolds of the Charleston, to
the amount of $12 240 and when he
reached Manila his accounts We're found
to be short that much. Under the reg
ulations Admiral Watson ordered a
board to investigate this failure to bal
ance accounts. The report which has
just reached Washington, fully exoner-
ates the paymaster from any actual
Wickedness or criminal intent in the
transaction.

Has the Strength of Gibraltar.

From the fact that The Prudential
Insurance company of America paid
over sc, 25O, 600 to policy holders last year
it is evident that this company is bring
ing relief to the homes of thousands of
our fellow citizens at a time when it is
needed most. Over 800 death claims
were paid during the year, or nearly one
thousand for each week, and from this
it will be seen that The Prudential is
more than meeting the expectations of
those who insured for the benefit of
their families.
This company insures men. women
and children from ages one to seventy
and for amounts from SIS to 500, 600
This is a latitude which takes in al
most everybody except centenarians
and as the company announces that it
has over $50, 600 of assets on hand it
is safe to say that money invested with
The Prudential will meet with full and
prompt return. An inspection of the
companys statement on another page
of this issue will certainly repay one for
the effort

CLEMENS RETURNS.
Explains the Division at Lincoln
Meeting.

G. c. Clemens returned today from
Lincoln, where he attended the meet
ing of the Populist national central
committee. Mr. Clemens said concern
ing the meeting:
Il went to Lincoln at the urgent re-
quest of J. A. Parker, of Kentucky, the
leader of the Middle Road Pop
ulists. and went solely as a Social
Democrat. 1 succeeded so we'll that the
Middle of the Readers will have a COM
vention at Indianapolis week after next
THE real truth about the Populist
split is that the Populst national COM
mittee is now almost exclusively Demo-
cratic. Although but a part of them
were fired by the national chairman.
his inartistic management of the Bryan
bandwagon caused abrasions OF the
shins of SO many members of the CON-
mittee that an independent meeting was
composed of the representatives of
twenty eight states and territories.
Il refused absolutely to have anything
to do with the conflict. My mission
was to see things for myself with a
view to telling of them in the Kansas
campaign and to induce the Middle-of-
the Readers to quit their folly and
come to the Social Democratic party.
I fully approve of the course pursued
in driving anti-Bryan men from the
committee, and that was in reality the
line drawn The Texas members were
for Bryan, and their will fixed the time
and place of the convention. I think
the committee was foolish in yielding to
them. No man opposed to Bryan or to
his views has any business in the Pop
ulist party now. In fact, the PopuIist
party is already dead and a Bryan
party has taken it's place. A Populist
should be a Bryan Democrat or So
cial Democrat.
ITO an ex-Pop the spectacle of a po-
liceman keeping regularly elected mem
bers or their proxies out of a Populist
committee meeting was somewhat
novel, to say the least. That was done
at Lincoln. But not being a Populist
any more, the show simply amused me;
it did not stir my blood"

without erecting expensive fortifica-
lions, Admiral Dewey, In Washington,
last NIGHT said:
Qualifications? Why, of course not.
AS l understand it, the canal is to be.
and should be, neutral commercial
pathway between the two great oceans.
To fortify it would simply result in
making a battle-ground in case of war.
Fortifications would be enormously ex-
pensive and ought not to be erected.
Our fleets will be a sufficient guarantee
of the neutrality and safety of the
canal in time of war as well as in
peace,

HIGH HANDED ACTS.
Testimony in the Wardner Riot
Case Put Military in a
Bad Light.

Washington, Feb 21-The investiga-
ton of the mining troubles and the con
duct of the United States forces in
Idaho last summer continued today be-
fore the house committee on military
affairs. Frederick c. Robertson resum-
ed his narrative begun yesterday giving
the legal proceedings he had adopted in
behalf of the imprisoned miners and the
difficulties he claims to have encoun-
tered from the military authorities state
officials and the court. He said he was
refused permission to be present at the
inquest of those killed during the out
break and was unable to communicate
with the accused miners as to their
rights, although Representatives of the
mining company were present. He pro-
tested to the attorney general that the
miners were being denied the right of
counsel. Throughout these proceedings
the witness said the military authorities
were in control of affairs, and United
States soldiers guarded the imprisoned
men, bringing them to and from the
court.
The witness said Gen. Merriam was
in charge of the 'sbulI pen"
These were improvised quarters as no
prison was available Robertson ex-
pressed the opinion that the United
States forces should have been used to
preserve order and uphold the civil
authorities, but in fact he declared they
superseded the civil authorities and in
some instances which were detailed ar
rested men in no way connected with
the outbreak. He said there were no
warrants and none of the usual forms
of law, but when a man was wanted he
was stopped on the street and sent to
the Dull pen" This was done by depu-
ties, VINO acted under the state officials
and the military.
Messrs. Morrison and Furuseth of the
American Federation of Labor were
present during the hearing today and
President Gompers is expected to at
tend when he arrives.
