Mind kitchener's Proclamation in

Misconduct of the War Causes
Much Bitter Comment in England.
London, Sept. 21.-While Mr.. Kru-
ger and DR.. Leyds are drawing up pc
titions to President Roosevelt and the
Car, asking them to intervene, the
fighting Beers are helping themselves
in South Africa by celebrating the ex-
piration of the period in which Lnid
Kitchener proclaimed they must sur
render, by four notable successes, kilt
ing sixty-eight officers and men,
wounding 63 and capturing five guns
and 300 men. The situation is singa-
larly like the opening of the war two
years ago, the names Of the sams
places recurring in the dispatches.

trapped, was the scene of q similar
ambuscade, eighteen months back Ac-

The governments publication Of these
reverses causes an outburst of exas-
peration against the conduct of the
war, not in South Africa, but in the
ministry. The great ministerial jour
nails accuse the government of trying
to run the war ION the cheap by not
providing Lord Kitchener with suf-
fcient resources.
The Times, while it has no misgiv-
ings as to the final issue, accuses the
hcme authorities of lack of organized
sustained effort, of disposition to
postpone military for financial consid-
erations and of failure to grasp the
moral and intellectual damage which
the prolongation of the struggle in
flicts on the empire. Other ministerial
supporters aver that precious months
which should have been spent in pre-
pairing for another campaign were
wasted in electioneering and that Lord
Kitchener has not been supplied with
the requisites

Yellow Fever Aboard.

teliOW FeSer Aboard.
Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 21.-The
British steamer Ethel Brytha, from
Jacksonville Sept. IA, for this port. ar
rived here yesterday with three cases
of yellow fever on board. She left Pro-
gresso six weeks ago and arrived at
New York with yellow fever case on
board. The man died in the harbor
and the ship was disinfected. The cap
tain's wife died while the steamer
was on her way from New York to
Jacksonville, where she loaded lumber
for Santiago de Cuba. One man died
yesterday and the autopsy showed
plainly that he had been suffering from
yellow fever. The crew of the Ethel
Brytha was removed to-day to the yell
low fever hospital. which is situated
on an island two miles from the city.
The steamer was fumigated and is held
in quarantine in the lower bay. No
cargo is allowed to be landed from
the vessel. The Marine Hospital au
thorities say there is absolutely no
danger to the city, where there has

WELLINGTON HEARD FROM.
Maryland Senator Declares Reported
Interview Untrue.


Atlanta, Sept. PA letter has been
received in Atlanta from Senator
George l.. Wellington of Maryland, in
which he states positively that the
sentiment attributed to him when the
President was shot, to the effect that
he despised Mckinley, and that the
condition of the wounded man was
matter of indifference to him, was a
fake from beginning to end. The let
ter from the Maryland Senator was re-
ceived by Miss Lucille Laurendine, an
employe of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company in this city, whose
family are close friends of Senator
wellington.
On the subject of the alleged inter-
view, the Senator says: Il gave no
interview, but refused again and again
to give any expression for publication,
for the reason that Mr.. Mckinley had
done me such injury 1 would never
forgive, and l felt that it would be
better to say nothing at this time.
Notwithstanding these facts, the news
paper reporters have manufactured a
story for the occasion, and papers,
such as the Atlanta Journal, are max
ing all they can out of it,"
Coming in the light of the wild lam
guage used in the press toward the
Soma tor of Maryland. his hasty ex-
pulsion from the Union League Club
~ Baltimore, and the popular demand
that he be expelled from the United
States Senate, this letter will be read
ali over the South with considerable
interest

GRIEF is CRUSHING HER.
Says DIR. Rixey of Mrs. Mckinley.
She Requests Guards Removed.


She Requests Guards Removed.
Canton, o., Sept. 21.--Mrs. Mckinley
was one of the first in the house on
Market street to rise to-day. She said
she had enjoyed a good sleep and that
she felt better than at any time since
the fateful night in Buffalo, when her
husband was shot.
Later Mrs. Mckinley went for a
short drive, accompanied by DR.. Rixey
and Mrs. Barber. On their return DR..
Rixey said:
II do not feel so confident as earlier
this week. Mrs, McKinley's grief Is
crushing her. though she is bearing up
bravely and doing as we'll as could be
expected under the circumstances.
However, too much encouragement
should not be taken at this early
day"
When Mrs. Mckinley first looked out
her window to-day she saw the guards
on patrol in front of her house. Direct
ing a maid to call DR.. Rixey she asked
him to have the guards removed.
II do not need them," she said. They
are unnecessary"
Therefore, five minutes later the only
sentinel on duty was a gardener from
the White House, who was raking the
broad lawn of brown leaves.

ROOSEVELT AND WOOD.
President and Governor General OF
Cuba Go Horseback Riding.

Washington, Sept. 21.-President
Roosevelt this afternoon went out for
horseback ride with Gen. Leonard
Wood. governor general of Cuba. The
Presidents saddle horse is at Oyster
Bay and as there are no good riding
animals in the White House stables
two cavalry horses were brought over
from Myers, across the Potomac. One
was a handsome, spirited bay, and the
other a black. The horses arrived at
345 o'clock and when it became noised
about that the President was going for
a ride a little coterie of spectators as
sembled on the portico of the executive
mansion. At s minutes before A
O'Clock a cab drove up and Gen. Wood
alighted. He wore stiff leather hunt
ing leggings and carried a short riding
crop. He Joined the President inside
and exactly at o'clock they emerged.
The President wore the same suit he
had on all day, a black cutaway coat
with a band of mourning crepe on his
left arm and a soft felt hat. Like an
old horseman he measured the stirrup
length beneath his left arm. Then
placing his left foot in the steel stir
rup he vaulted easily into the saddle.
At the same time Gen. Wood mount
ed the other horse and In an instant
they were off, cantering slowly down
the west driveway. The President pre-
sented a handsome figure on his spir-
tied animal.
The last President who rode horse
back to any considerable extent since
the days of Grant was Arthur. Neither
Mr. Cleveland nor Gen. Harrison
while in the White House ever got on
a horse. President Mckinley in the
early days of his past administration
occasionally took a horseback ride,
but he never mounted at the White
House steps. He drove to the out
skirts of the city where a saddle horse
was in waiting. Mr.. Mckinley, how
ever, discontinued the practice after
the first spring of his occupancy of
the executive mansion

NURSING IN ALASKA.
Need of Proper Food and Care for
 Miners.

The character of the food used in the mining camps is such that many strong men break down under it. Scurvy Is a very common disease. They drink quan- titles of coffee and that does it's work with thousands.
 nurse, Mrs. l.. Lowell, who has been employed in different places in Alaska for the past three years, writes to say that she has induced many patients to leave off coffee and take Postum Food Coffee, which is very popular now in many of the mining camps, for they have learned it's value.
 She says of herself that she has been great sufferer from the use of coffee, and had a most smaleful bilious complexion She says, "I not only suffered from the looks but had very serious stomach trouble. When I fSSlly quit coffee and began using Postum Eeod Coffee my stomach began to recover fe>. normal con dition, and my complexion gradually more use of Postum, my complexion is as fair as a school girls.
 q send you list of many names of miners that have given up coffee and are using Postum, and in each case there has been a remarkable improvement in health.

Wherever these liuuid air lectures and demonstra- tiens have been given the audiences have evinced the mostsintense interest and en- thusiasm. Te sec a rubber ball bounced upon the heor. only to crash like glass Into little fragments; to see a kettle boil Ing away upon a cake of ieei to see mer- cury frozen solid; to see steel burning in liuuid air contained in tumbler made of ice-these sights and many others are, indeed, sufficiently startling. These ex- perinents almost eclipse Wonderland it. self.
 A liquid air lecture and demonstration is short visit into fairy-land of science yet all is so thoroughly explained that each one wonders how such an important discovery could be so simple-simp1s air which has been liquehed Strange, un- usual, incomprehensible to many-yet it Is only the common air we breathe, flow ing like water. It must be seen to be appreciated. The liquid air, it's snowy vapor. and all of the remarkable experi- ments can be distinctly seen from all parts of the hall.
 Liquid air Is three hundred and forty four degrees colder than ice. You can dip your hand into it, but If held in 1t for two minutes your fingers could be broken off like icicles. It will cause frost to gather thick on the sides and on the bottom of a kettle boiling over a hot stove. It will freeze iron so that it is as brittle as glass,
 Liquid air can be kept only by irpulat- ing it from contact with the outside heat. Such progress In insulation has already been made that it is now possible to keep the air ten days to two weeks, and no engagement need be broken on account of evaporation of the air on the route,
