xr. Kuntagua,s Friends.

n the friends Of Mr.. Montague are wise
they will now use every effort to heal the
wounds inflicted in the party, and leave
off growing blowing and pickering in the
future. 1t is perfectly natural for men 70
feel jubilant when things are going their
way. but il is not always wise to crow
over a fallen foe even when known TO be
a foe and certainly there is less excuse TO
antagonize friend il he should happen
to differ with you. There are already
paragraphs appearing in the various
Richmond papers indicating that the
friends of Mr.. Montague win demand a
reorganization OF the State committee
in the Third district, because some OF the
nresent committeeman favored Mr. Swan
son for Governor. We trust for che sake
of harmony that no such attempt viii be
made either in the Third OF any other
district Such course would only tend
70 disorganize and disrupt theparty, and
we don't believe that any OF the present
State committeeman would desire to oc-
eupy that position unless they were will
ing TO give the nominee their hearty sup
port, and on the other hand we believe
that the friends OF the defeated aspirants
should bow TO the win Of the majority,
and do nothing rash or that iscalculated
to injure the Democratic party, which
should be looked upon byevery Democrat
as being greater and better than any man
who seeks Office under its auspices. =

Disease Among Horses in New York.

The reports from New York as TO the
disease among the horses there, is very
serious. one estimate being that probably
II 600 horses are more or less affected
ONT of the total Of 2S,000 reported for
the city by the horse census. The veter-
inarians call this prevalent disease the
grip. and one theory attributes it entire
ly TO the climatic conditions of the last
few weeks-long sieges OF wet weather,
followed by unseasonabIy cool weather.
It is said that probably 5000 horses are
under treatment by the doctors or their
owners, while the larger part OF those al
ficted are not seriously enough affected
to be disable. The question arises, IN
view Of the present diagnosis, whether
the epizootic OF 1872 was what is now
called the grip. IL will be remembered
that horseaesh was thenlaid low so gen.
orally that oxen were actually pressed
into service in the big city. Then, too,
the street railways relied upon horses,
aid were tied Up.

HEALTHFULNESS IN HAVANA.
Death Rate Below That of Most
American Cities.

A report has been received at the War
Department from General Wood showing
that the death rate for the city of Havana
for the month Of February was 1892 per
1000, which Is said to be below the aver
age of most American cities The death
rate it is stated, steadily decreases, and
this is taken as an indication of improved
sanitary conditions. During the last Feb
ruary Of Spanish rule. in 1898, the death
rate was s2.32 per 1000.
The report compares Havana's health
statistics with those of a number Of east
ern and southern cities of the United
States, most Of which are shown to have
higher death rate than Havana. At
present, it is stated, those cities look upon
Havana with suspicion. but, says the re-
port. Havana will have to guard against
them in the near future.
AS to yellow fever, it is shown that in
February, 1900, Havana had seventeen
cases of that disease, against only eight
new cases during the February just past
Taking into consideration the fact that
the number of non-immunes was much
larger in February, 1901, than in February
1900, this showing Is regarded as very en-
couraging.
Exhaustive measures now are being
taken against the spread of the disease in
Havana. Besides disinfecting the houses
the rooms occupied by yellow fever pa
tients are screened as soon as the case
is reported and all mosquitoes in the build
ms and adjoining dwellings killed by the
fumes Of pyrethrum powder.

MABEL CONNOR GOES HOME.
Devoted Sister Accompanies Her t.
Hudson. n. Y.


Miss Mabel Connor the New York girl
who was found wandering about the streets
in the vicinity of 18th and Sampson streets
Thursday night, left for home this morn
ing accompanied by her sister, Miss Elenora
Conner Soon after reaching here the lat
ter called at police headquarters and De-
tective Weldon accompanied her to the
house of detention. Miss Mabel had been
away from home under similar conditions
before, and the previous experience made
the meeting this time much easier than
it would have been otherwise. During her
stay with the matron at the house OF de-
tention the sick girls condition was great
ly improved, although 1t was necessary
last night to call on DIR. Mayf1eld when
she had nervous chill. Her sister re-
manned at the house of detention last night
and cared for her. To her the sick girl
told what little she remembered of her
Wanderings and Of having been out in the
rain Wednesday night. From what could
be learned 1t appears that she left New
York Tuesday and went to Jersey City,
where she bought railroad ticket for
this city under the impression that she
would go to Chicago to see her sister jean
nette. Mabel remembers that she was
driven from bench in park during the
storm Wednesday night. probably by
policeman. and she then sought shelter on
house. she says, threatened her with ar
rest If she did not leave. She then went
away from the house.. and the next time
she realized anything IL was daybreak, and
she was in one Of the public parks. All
day long she wandered about the city, but
she remembers nothing that happened ex-
cept that she saw the Capitol and other
large buildings. The sisters left the house

The raglan overcoat. which has been 80
extremely popular for the last year or two.
Is not a new fashion, but the rehabilitation
Of an old one. Raglans were worn in Eng
land from 1910 to 1850. They dropped out
of favor then. but in 1888 they were re-
vived. Richard Harding Davis, at that
time a reporter in this city. had the honor
OF wearing In 1889 the first raglan ever
seen in Philadelphia. He had been to LON
don, and the coat that he brought home
with him was so stunning and beautiful
that 1t made his shoulders look a yard
across. The raglan. however. despite this.
remained practically unknown in America
until 1886. In 1897 1t was an exclusive
fashion, a sign that its wearer was a
heavy dresser" as the phrase goes. Now
1t can be bought for SO. cut In the vilest
manner. and Is more often to be seen than

yoke at back and front, has not yet be-

note says that the Mexican state depart

these cattle from entering the country,
