cles. for there had been no previous
| intimatiOn OF such a purpose. 1t was
supposed that everything this govern
ment thought wise and proper to de-
mand had been included in the Platt
measure.
The fortress is TO be made as nearly
impregnable as possible and will be
equipped with modern artillery. 1t Is
understood that the idea of the govern
ment is that with Moro fortified by
United States troops Cuba may be as
sisted in defending herself against her
possible enemies. and by that same to-
ken the United States may be protect
ed against unwarranted action by the
new republic TO be against the country
that wrested her from Spanish tyranny.
1t is said that Il treaty is in prepare
ton, as between this country and Gu
ba. which will provide for the retention
of the fort and that the United States
commissioners who will arrange the
matter will insist upon this point until
compliance is secured, the foTegone con-
clusion being that the Cubans will
make n vigorous protest.

bling with the weight of years and is
of small account as a fortress. Spain

one of the most formidable forts in the

as a prison than as n fort that MORO

world. Hundreds upon hundreds of

Some years before the war of this

BROWN HOUSE GOLF CLUB
Home OF the Famous AGitntor Now
Used For That Purpose.

The house where John Brown, the ia
nous antislavery man. lived, just on
the outskirts Of Akron. o., is now occu-
pied by the Portage Golf club. and the
beautiful grounds surrounding it are
played over every day by enthusiastic
golfers. says the Kansas City Journal
The members of the club have endeav-
ored to keep the house just as It was
when "Osawatomie" planned for the
freedom OF the black race within its
walls. The grounds around the house
have not been changed materially, and
the old stone fence that was built with
infinite labor by John Brown and his
sons still remains us firm as ever, 4
tribute TO the memory OF the grand old
man.
Aside from the tinGe of romance
given the place by the fact that it was
once the home of one of the most re-
markable figures in the history OF the
United States. it is noted for the fact
that IL is right on the old historic port
age path made by the Indians many
years ago in carrying their canoes from
CuyahOga to the Tuscarawas river. and
the grounds surrounding the clubhouse
were once used as hunting grounds by
the Delaware Indians. No more beau
tiful or historic place i'm the old West
ern Reserve can he found than the spot
where John Brown once lived. and 1t
will always be kept in good shape in
memory of him.

and reported TO the Japanese legation.
THE present military system Of ia
pan is thoroughly modern" said he.
''and is similar TO the best European
systems, those OF Germany being fol-
lowed to a considerable extent. The
peace footing is from 10000 to $4,000
men, with war footing about double
that number and reserves which can be
called upon to an almost unlimited
number.
"The Japanese troops are armed and
equipped with the latest rapid fire in

senals and combining the best fea-
lures OF the most effective weapons.
Our soldiers are we'll drilled, and eXpe-

diers in the east and always favorable
reports as to their splendid appearance,
courage and fighting ability. l am glad
TO say, too. that there is the most
friendly feeling between the Japanese
and American soldiers"

milk adulterant. 1t has been found by
inspectors of the dairy department in

the milk appear richer than it really is.
When viscosen is placed in milk or
cream, the Tactic acid turns the lime in
the fluid into white, thick substance,
which, assimilating with the milk,
gives it an appearance and taste Of
great richness. 1t is possible through
its use to palm off upon customers milk

LATEST THING IN FRUITS.
The Dumbbel1 which Tastes Like n
Peach Favored With Pineapple.

| Most New Workers at least have

| sembles a Siamese twin peach and
| tastes like peach favored with pine
apple. 1t is said 10 be delicious, far
surprising any known fruit in the deli
cacy of its flavor.
There Is n romance connected with the
story of its cultivation. and. although
| the fruit comes from an island in the
Indian ocean, on the opposite side of
the world, the hero OF the story was an
American. 1t seems that in the year
1886 an American scientist named JEFF
freys, imbittered by an unfortunate love
affair, turned his back on civilization
and with n Cingalese servant made his
home on a small island 900 miles
south of Ceylon.
Here he remained, living Robinson
CruSoe life, until his death in 1898, oc-
cupying himself with scientific studies
and the cultivation of fruit trees BY
grating and other methods he pro-
duced several curious varieties, his
most astonishing success being the
dumbbell fruit. After the death of Mr..
Jeffreys the native servant took few
samples of the new fruit and set sail
in a trading vessel for Bombay. The
merchants TO whom he showed his
specimens at once formed syndicate
and have since been diligently cult
waiting the plantations left by the Amer
lean scientist.
Several shiploads have been sold in
the seaport cities of Australia and In
dia, and the syndicate is making prep
arations to meet an enormous demand
