ham soldier who died h the Phillpg ines, as set forth in the Age-Herald of yes terday. There was a long letter giving all possible information and soldieriy praise of the dead hero, addressed for mally by the surgeon major to the soI- dier's parents. Mir. C. Perkins and Mrs. Perkins of Birmingham, accompanied by a tender and beautiful letter from the hospital nurse, both of which nobly gem erous and kind communications were re- produced in the Age-Herald. And these letters are proof to all the people that an American soldier is the beloved son of the Nation!
 Yesterday MT. c.lPerlSins, the father of the hero, informed Congressman Under wood that he wished the sons box, to which the son often referred in his let ters, and which he was to have brought home when his term of service expired in June, sent here to Birmingham. and Com gressman Underwood immediately tele- graphed to the Adjutant General in Wash ington, preferring the fathers request and urging 1t upon his own account.
 It was further requested that the re- mains of the heroic dead be sent to Bir- mingham for interment, and the govern ment of the United States will grant the request.

Washington. April 2S.-(speciai) )--An- nouncement is made of the engagement of Miss Martha Eichborn. one of the most beautiful young girls in Washington, and the daughter of Rear-Admiral Hichborn, and Jim Blaine, the n'eer-do-well of the Blaine family. Jim is divorced man of twelve years standing and generally cold shouldered by mamas of the fashionable world. Just why beautiful lovable Martha with all the men of Washington at her feet, should choose the happy-go-lucky, cigarette-smoking man of her choice is yet mystery. but the ways of cupid have never yet been explained.
 Inauguration day young Blaine sat in one of the front rows Of the Presidents stand and smoked his cigarette calmly in the face of his enraptured fiancee and the greatest members of the great world.
 It seems that Miss Hichborn's family objected strenuously to the engagement, but affected a compromise by putting the lucky man on probation of good behav- for. Jim lived up to his fiancee's expecta- tions, in fact she kept close watch over him, and rarely one was seen without the other It became a sort of public joke. When Miss Hichborn appeared on the street alone people said. There's Martha Hichborn, where's Jim Blaine? You'll see him in minute" And so you" would

 There has been a general derth of not able weddings this Easter, but the an- nouncement that General Corbin has at last been successful in his pursuit of the elusive and wealthy Edythe Patten came as bit of delightful news to the admirers of the dashing general.
 Washington has for some time been interested in this affair, and wondered how it would end. There were three Pat ten girls and only one general, but the latter proved himself as well acquainted I with the successful manoeuvers of the lit- tie love-god as with the gods of war. It seems that the three Patten girls, whose continued maidenhood has made them landmarks in the social world, determined never to wed, for in doing so the Patten millions would necessarily be divided. General Corbin tried to storm the for tress again and again but in vain. At one time he gave up in despair, and went to New York in fit of "blues" only to re- turn to Washington and his old occupa- tion of love and war better equipped than ever. Sometimes he would not show him. self for days at the department. Sick" said the clerks. 'Love-sick," said so- ciety.

Mosquitoes Spread Disease.

The discovery at Havana that mos quitoes carry the germs of yellow fever should not be at all surprising. In Italy it was we'll established several years ago that the germs of malaria were disseminated by the pestiferous little insects which went from the i'll to the we'll bearing the seeds of dis ease. But Italy had so many mos quitoes in its marshy districts that there seemed to be no prospect of kill ing the mosquitoes, and the scientists simply did what they could to render their bite innocuous.
 An American town was, however, more plucky-Wincheste in Virginia and last year that town which had long been damaged by malaria, was practically free from it. The doctors at Havana are proceeding on the Win chester plan by attacking the mos Qul sOeS luStSdu Oi thCli biISo. ahSA fore success has crowned their efforts, for Havana is free from yellow fever.
 The new war against mosquitoes is conducted on two lines. In the first place, all stagnant water is drained off, thus at once removing the chief source of nearly all contagious dis eases. And then traps are set for the insects that are bred in out-of-the-way places. These traps are tubs of water covered with petroleum placed under bushes and other places that the mos quito delights in. Petroleum is spread over all stagnant water that cannot be drained away.
 It is not impossible ', put an end to the mosquito nuisance and evil. As soon as stagnant water is removed, the mosquito cannot be bred, and there are thousand reago1s why stagnant water should be abolished. Nothing in this world equals it as a disease breeder, especially in the not sun of this latitude. There would be small need for plain doctors if all stagnant water were removed, for malaria and all the vile brood of levers and ills that follow in its train would at once disappear.
 Jones valley is full of stagnant pools, every one of them being a disease breeder. The man who permits stag nant water to remain near his home invites trouble in the form of disease. This should b.. ss plain as the nose on ones face, for 1t has been demon strated over and over again, and no one who desires to know the truth can plead ignorance.

GAS AT $1ooo A CUBIC FOOT.

From the Lancet.
 :. No one has ever suggested that helion, the element which until recently was thought to exist in the sun, but which was discovered In the gases contained in certain minerals by Prof. Ramsay, would be of any practicability. At present, how ever, 1t is not likely to be. for it is the costliest of all elements. The method now being pursued for capturing this ele- ment in workable quantity shows that its separation and concentration involves an enormous expense and the heiion ob- tained costs about f200 per cubic foot The same amount of money would at the present time purchase over one million cu- bic feet of coal gas. The price of helion, therefore, at present Is more than a mill lion times that of coal gas. The present costly research Is being undertaken. among other things, in order to see whether helion can be solidfied. To gain this result temperature will cease to play a part. for absolute zero will have to be reached. Ne

Mills South and Mills North.

The Boston Journal of Commerce in sists that dissimilar conditions in the cotton mills of the two sections can not endure, and then it adds:
 "It has been our effort to try to keep the Southern manufacturer from being confronted by many of the troubles which now confront the Northern mill man. We have been trying to show him the true light and keep his present happy labor condition as nearly as possi- ble as it is; but unless he makes a de- cided change, we fear he will soon find that he is following the same course pur- sued by our Northern mills. He will soon be restricted by laws, and will soon be confronted by labor unions, and then he will regret that he did not take time by the forelock when the opportunity was open to him. We have urged him to pass laws which would restrict the number of working hours a week that mill shall run and restrict the employment of wo- men and minors. It may look as if such an action on his part would be more to his disadvantage than to his advantage; but such is not the case. If he does not pass such laws the operatives will, and at the same time there will spring up in his very midst his greatest dread-the labor union. We are very glad to admit that the Southern manufacturer does much for hi. help; but that alone will not protect him from what lies before him, unless he takes such steps as we have urged upon him."
 No doubt there is much truth in this advice; and Southern operators are acting up to it in several respects. Small children will soon be eliminated from mill labor, and the hours of labor will be made reasonable. This prom ises to be done by mutual agreement rather than by legislative enactment.
 The conditions in the South are not generally understood. The value of the native white labor in the South is undervalued in the North. It is really very capable, and it is becoming more skillful in the handling of fine numbers. And t..ere is great deal of it. If Southern manufacturers will show foresight and wisdom in their relations with operatives, none of the troubles and friction anticipated by Northern men will occur. There will be in that case neither labor unions nor oppressive legislation. A liberal long-headed policy on the part of man ufactuers can keep labor in a satis- factory frame of mind for an indefinite length of time in this section, and The Age-Herald anticipates just such re- suit.

Statehood for Cuba.

Senator Morgan's Cuban plan sub- stitutes statehood for suzerainty. The federal constitution does not extend to protectorates, but 1t does cover States, and Senator Morgan desires to keep within it's terms, and at the same time treat the Cubans justly, even generously.
 For statehood would not only give the Cubans home rule and local self government, but it would also give them free trade with this country and a voice in the control of this country They would be entitled to two Sena. tors, and seven or eight Represents tiyes, and this would be better than little republic dominated by big republic. The Platt amendment takes away real sovereignty in the negotia. tion of treaties, in public loans. in the protection of life, liberty and individ. ual liberty, in sanitation, not to men, tion the loss of the Isle of Pines, or the naval stations demanded by it.
 The Platt amendment is a plain and shameless violation of the Teller reso. lutions, in which full freedom and in- dependence were guaranteed to the Cubans. Senator Morgahs statehood plan would give the Cubans home or insular independence and freedom, Asle it would extend their influence

 Merchant of Venice.
A Glorious Victory.

The people of Alabama have voted in favor of the framing of new or ganie law, one that gives intelligence free hand. one that will admit of growth and progress. The present con stitution is sadly outgrown, besides be ing the product of revolution before people saw clearly what suffrage .on the part of the ignorant meant.
 There has never been real doubt as to the desires and intentions of the people of the State. Those desires and intentions were thwarted two years ago by political jugglery, but the will of the people has at last been made plain, and there is no one in au- thority who proposes to stand against the expressed will of the voters of the State. A constitution will be framed and ratified by the people, and Ala bama will start on the new century under happier prospects than she has ever known. The new fundamental law may yet be known as the century constitution.
 While no man will dominate the ap- preaching convention, as Robert Toombs did the last constitutional con vention of Georgia, yet there will be IVY men in it who are full of wise
 ytions, and the body as a whole
 ell repsesent the common sense
 tactical intelligence of the State. The eople are not afraid to trust the framing of new constitution to these men, believing that they will look ahead as well as at present circum stances, and will make an instrument that will not put shackles where there \ should be none, and will plan for 8 generation at least. The Alabama of 1880 will be a great and prosperous industrial State Agriculture will not be shelved, but it will have big rival in industry and the new constitution should be. broad and liberal enough to answer the needs of five millions of people engaged in export trade, in mining, in cotton milling, in iron and steel working, in wide scope of man. ufacturing based on cheap fuel and raw materials, as we'll as in planting and stock raising and the like. Mills and fertile acres will be intermingled, and an organic law that meets the wishes of complex population is what is desired Such an instrument may be of long endurance. This is what the convention was called for, and the State has confidence in the men that were chosen yesterday to do the great work.

TYPHOID IN NEW HAVEN rom the Springfield Republican.


 New Havens epidemic of typhoid fe. ver-400 cases or over-seems to have reached its worst That is, this great total represents, 1t is hoped. the full de- velopment from the germs that got in the water supply at the point now cut off, It is safe to assume in a city medically so enlightened as New Haven that due care will be taken to prevent new germ infection anywhere. But the fact that 400 cases are known affords sufficiently solemn warning of the imperative need for watchfulness against such pollution of a water supply as has led to results so serious. This is of application every where. Unhappily, such records of fatali- ties as this epidemic is to lead to are now about due, as patient after patient reaches the crisis of the disease. The end has been seen from the beginning, and everybody will hope that the death rate may not be a large one.

While statehood would be a help to the Cubans, 1t would enable this country to make good the Teller resolutions, and it is in word the best if not the only, solution in sight. To any other there are grave objec- tions-to statehood there is really none. Senator Morgan has suggested the best solution of the problem.

''No one will for moment contend that all or even the greater part of the eco- homie and political problems confronting the island have been solved. Nothing less than miracle could have worked such change. But it is equally clear that firm and lasting foundation has been laid for the gradual solution of these important questions as regeneration of the coffee and tobacco districts, the development of the fruit trade, etc., upon which the fu- ture prosperity of the island will largely depend.
 Tt must be borne in mind that Porto Rico has passed through three radical changes of political systems in as many years. First came the change under Spanish rule from absolutism to the au- tonomous regime; then the arbitrary rule of military government and finally the more liberal system introduced by the Foraker act. It is not surprising that under such circumstances the spirit of unrest should have developed. It Is only within the last six months that Porto Rico has quietly settled down determined to help itself and solve it's own prob- lems.
 'The impatience shown in some quar- ters by the native population because of the failure to give to the island within the short space of a year complete system of roads and a widely distributed system of government loans to agricul-, turists is but an indication of the lack of acquaintance with the difficulties of the situation and will disappear with closer touch with and more active CO., operation in the work of public admin istration.
