OH THE COLD, The COLD!

A letter last week from Augusta,
Me-, says: Thursday was the 10th
successive day upon which either
snow or rain has fallen in this city.
have receiv ed but few letters from
the North during the winter just
past that have not cont aimed some
complaint about the cold and storms.
1t is a fact that pneumonia, ca
tarrh, consumption, ETC., either orig
mate in, or are seriously aggravated
by colds.
1t is fact that colds are for more
prevalent in the Northern States than
in the long-leaf pine RECON of the
South.
It is fact that thousads of people
in the North if. they could be
protected against colds would live
many years there.
1t is a fact that large percentage
of those people can not be thus pro-
tected there, and will certainly die
within five years.
1t is a fact that if those people we're
to come here to live, or even only or
all the winter residents they would be
protected by the climate. (not entirely
perhaps, but to such an extent as to
preserve them from serious results.)
1t is fact, therefore, that years of
added life would be the reward of such
change Of residence.

The Deemster.
"The Deemster," which will be pro.
duced, with a fine interpreting COM
pany, at the Opera House on Friday
and Saturday nights and Saturday mat
inee, is from the fertile pen OF Hall
Game. who at present fills so large a
space in the literary world of this couh-
try and Europe. Mr.. Game attributes
his success as a writer in part to the
fact that he has always been a great
reader of the Bible. Il think he says,
in a recent interview, that | know my
Bible as few literary men know It,
There is no book in the world like It,
and the finest novels ever written fall
far short in interest of the stories 1t
tells. Whatever strong situations !
have in my books are not or my ere
alton. but are taken from the Bible.

Brother Officers a genuine comedy
overlooking with sweet sentiment, will
be the attraction at the Opera House
Tuesday, October Goth. This drama
treats of the social life of the officers
of a crack English cavalry regiment.
and is doubly interesting at this period
when our English cousins are con
fronted as they are with the question
as to whether their officers are more
at home in the drawing room than on
the battlefield. This comedy was writ
ten by Leo Trevor who is now at the
front with his regiment in South Africa.

of the two last seasons at the Empire

having proved the biggest success in the
history of that ultra-fashionabie play

NO GOVERNMENT FOR TARLAC.
The Province ID still in Insurrec-

Dagupan, Province Of Pangasinan, Luz
on, Feb. 15.--It is not likely that provin-
cial government Will be established IN
Tarlac at present. although Tar.ac is the
third province In the programme of the
commission. Gen. Smith, commander of
the district of which the province of Tar
lac is a part, and Gen. Grant, command

to the commissioners, that while they rec

government in Panganinan and Pampan-
ga, north and south of Tarlac, the prov
ince itself was not prepared for the inno-
walton, many of the men being still in the
mountains. and the people being to
large extent insurgent sympathizers.
Judge Taft and his associates will pro-
ceed to Tarlac, according to their pro
gramme, but after a public meeting, at
which provincial government Will be
promised as soon as the province is ready
for it, the commissioners will probably
announce that the work of organization Is
deferred
The Octagonal Bamboo Theater of Du-
pan was the scene of the public consider
alton of the bill applying provincial gov
ernment to the province of Pangasinan'
The structure was decorated Win iliPa
and flags. Delegations from each of the
thirty pueblos of Pangasinan and few
from the border pueblos of the province
of Nueva Ecija occupied the ground por-
tion, the spectators being confined TO rais-
ed seats on the side and to the standing
space in the rear.
Judge Taft explained at length the gem
eral nature of the provincial government
bill and the purposes of the authorities,
emphasizing the land tax feature, which
is new 20 the Filiplnos He quoted from
President McKinley's message as evil
eence of the intention of the Washing
ton administration to establish by degrees
self-sustaining government in the Phil
ippines, making it clear that the new
municipal governments would be wholly
autonomous and the provincial govern
ments partly so.
The delegates listened with the closest
attention TO the words of the interpreter.
Five insurgents were hanged in this
province to-day for killing Filipipos who
had become avowedly friendly to the
Americans.

senator NSorSan's Plan to Acquire Ia
by Amendment Ia River and
Harbor Bill.

Washington, Feb. 15-The Senate Com
mittee on Commerce to-day considered the
question of attaching to the river and
harbor bill provision authorizing the
acquisition of right of way for the pro-
posed Nicaragua canal Senator Elkins
is pressing the matter upon the basis OF
the amendment suggested by Senator
Morgan, which Is as follows:
THAT the President OF the United States
be and is hereby authorized to acquire
from the states of Costa Rica and Mica
ragua, for and in behalf of the United
States. control of such portion of territory
now belonging to Costa Rica and Mica
ragua as may be desirable and necessary
on which to excavate, construct and pro-
tect a canal of such depth and capacity
as will be sufficient for the movements OF
now in use. from a point near Greytown,
on the Caribbean sea, via Lake Nicaragua,
to Brto on the Pacific ocean. and such
sum as may be necessary to secure such
control is hereby appropriated out of any
money in the. treasury not otherwise ap-
propriated."
There is vigorous opposition to the
amendment on the ground that 1t would
overload the river and harbor BILL ana also
because it makes no definite appropriation.

calm reigned in all the provinces, and that
if the same pacific behavior of the peo-
pie continued until after the carnival next
week, martial law would be discontinued
in Madrid and throughout Spain, except
Catalonia.
Gen. Weyler says that for the present
rigorous martial law will be maintained,
but that If the same tranquility continues
as has characterized the last two days.
he will soon issue a milder proclamation.
El Heraldo publishes proclamation by
Gen. Weyler. saying that he will do his
best to avoid interfering with the powers
of the civil authorities, but that, as mar
tial law has been proclaimed, his duty is
to maiutain order, independent of all po-
licitacl questions.
Madrid remains perfectly calm, although
the talk of a probable change of minis
try after the carnival is very strong.
