Characteristics of Cuban Women

There is an innate coquetry about a Gu
 ban woman that shows itself even in the
 least prominent of bows she ties, says d
 writer in the Boston Transcript Her cloth-
 ing is always dainty, and is frequently
 adorned with the needle-work of her own
 fingers. Her gown may be nothing to look at twice, but her linen is something eX- quste, and no other people rival the Gu bans in cleanliness. In many ways the Cu- ban woman of today promises much for the 1 future, but there are now strongly marked limitations and this trip has revealed many of them to her For instance, she never before thought much about physical culture; and those people who are blessed with gray hair are strongly reminded of the k American women of yore, with whom 1t was the propen thing to faint, and a waist that measured over eighteen inches was a source of continual modification.
 That is just about where these dweliers of the tropics are now in the sa1le or physical perfection. Their muscles are
 flabby, their chests thin, and the splendid set-up of the American girl is never seen. They do not stand straight. It is not pos sible when they lace they do, and wear such thin shoes. In fact, they do not wear shoes as arule, but a. sort of 8 little house.
 slipper that is only intended for Turkish rug wear. Yet in these little thin. dainty things a size or so too small, the girls have been taking excursions day after day. One of the first things they noticed was the walking-shoe of the American girl. They shuddered at the thickness of the sole, and exchanged condolences as to their being the
 ugliest things that they ever saw but days of walking hay changed all this, and the uCban girl who hasn't a pair of thick -soied shoes will have them when the August check comes.
 Their sad lack of endurance that comes from physical training is now as apparent
 to them as it is to any one. "l am so'
 tired" gasped a dark-eNed young woman, as she reeled into a chair beside her Eng
 fish instructor, when waiting for the doors to Memorial TIaH to open. Are you? she
 questioned pantingly; and then, after
 comprehensve look at the broad-shoulder-
 ed, deep-chested girl beside her. added, be-
 fore the instructor had more than time to
 smile, "Of course you are not, you are such an Amazon" An Amazon is what they call
 every woman who is trained to outdoor life.
 American women have not so very much
 to boast of in their advance in physical
 culture for it was only about twenty-five
 years ago. here in Boston, that their eyes
 were opened to the importance of the sub

Earnings of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham Railroad Show a Large Rumbling

It is stated that the Atlantic Coast Line will bid for carrying the fast mail between Washington and Atlanta, the contract now being held by the Southern Railway. The Atlantic Coast Line last year acquired an interest in the Georgia road, and Harry Walters of the Coast Line was put on the directory of the latter company.
 The fast mail from New York, Washing ton and the east to Atlanta, Montgomery, New Orleans and the west and the Pacific coast is now hauled from Washington to Atlanta by the Southern Railway, and at the latter place turned over to the Atlanta & West Point and the Western of Ala bama, over which line it is carried to Mont gomery. The Louisville & Nashville hauls it from Montgomery to New Orleans, where the Southern Pacific takes it up. The mail for Birmingham comes from Atlanta over the Southern.
 Should the Atlantic Coast Line get the contract, the mail would be turned over to the Southern and the Western of Ala bama at Atlanta. It would make practically the same time it now makes.

some such force Is this is now success.
FULLY applied in Cuba by General
wood, under the cognomen of rural

among the inhabitants OF the Philin.
pines, 1t was General Iawton's idca
that there would be no difficulty in Sc.
curing police who should be proof
against disloyalty in the districts. apart
from those OF their nativity, to which
they might be assigned. That this
theory was well founded is indicated by
the successful use of the Macabebe tribe
by General Lawton himself, and by
General Young later on in his chase
after Aguinaldo in the north Of Luzon.
The natives, by their acquaintance
with the country, and the inhab.
ltants, would be Of great assistance
IN running down lawbreakers. Be.
cause Of the similarity Of face and
figure OF the Tagals. the American
troops have had great difficulty in dis
tinRuishing n individual from an.
other; in telling friend from foe. In.
deed, there is a story in circulation
among some of the army officers who
have just returned TO Washington from
Manila. that the army actually captured
Aguinaldo in Cavite province, put him
in Jail for Ii days as a suspicious amigo
and then released him only to hear OF
his identity after he had gotten away.

BAND CONCERTS.
Opening Concert Is Attended by Larg
Crowds

The first regular band concert Of
the season was given by the Iowa
Brigade Band in the park Saturday
night. A large crowd was in attend.
ance, and all the fashionable and
other rigs were out in all their
splendor. A noticeable increase in
trade was felt by our merchants and
everybody seemed to enjoy the con-
cert. Anent the concerts, "Black
Soil," a local publication, recently
said:
sit is true the concerts are used
as a pretext for rendezvous between
school boys and girls, who consider
their elders who are not what we
would consider good examples tor
anyone; but it seems to us that the
concerts should not be blamed for
this truly lamentable condition of af-
fairs. Mothers and fathers, it is you
on whom the responsibility rests. If
you will allow your young girls to be
out at night without older company
whom you can trust, you must be
prepared to take the consequences.
1t is not during the concert that the
harm is done, but afterwards. The
influence of music is not lowering,
but elevating, and if your children
would go home directly after the
band finished this complaint against
the concerts could not be made"
