AFFAIRS IN CUBA.

Gen. Woods Report Speaks Well of the
Army-Yellow Fever Has Been Almost
Driven From the Island.
Washington, Oct. 10.-The War Depart
ment has iInde public the annual report of
Maior-General Leonard Wood. commanding
the Department of Cuba, for the last fiscal
yeur. preceding report treated OF the civil
administration OF the island. This report
deals with military affairs entirely.
Gen. Wood says the general conduct of
the American troops in Cuba continues to
be excellent, as heretofore, complaints
against them from civil authorities and
individuals being extremely raTe.
The total number of deaths of officers and
enlisted men during the year was 81, per-
centage of loss of 1.25. Yellow fever has
been almost driven from the island. owing
to the energetic war upon mosquitoes and
the sanitary precautions adopted. However,
during the past summer five officers of
Gen. Woods staff, were taken i'll with
yellow fever and three of them died. Among
the headquarters employees there were az
victims to yellow fever, with IL deaths,
Gen. Wood ievotes good part of his re-
port to statement of the results attending
the tests of the artillery in Notifications left
by the Spanish, and summarizing these he
says: THE behavior of the guns and car
riages was rather better than was expected
BY the artillery otfic ers. y
The old canteen issue is revived in this
report through sub-report furnished by
lnspector-tieneral Burton. He says that the
exchange is great comfort to the soldier
in Cuba who is deprived of many of the
comforts known 10 him at hume. The off
GERS generally complain that the elimination

A story is told about President
Charles M. Schwab of the United
Staten Steel Corporation which will
show a good many persons who may
not know why President Schwab be-
came what he is, says Pittsburg cor
respondent. The tale was told by an
engineer for whom Mr.. Schwab, as a
boy, carried the chain. Everybody down
here knows how Mr.. Schwab began life
as grocery clerk at Braddook. Next
he carried chain at Homestead and
later was draughtsman in the Carnegie
works. While holding that place young
Schwab came under the notice of Capt.
William II. Jones, who was general
manager Of the Carnegie plant, and
whose name is synonymous here with
everything good and manly. Capt.
Jones was Killed at Homestead, by
accident, few years ago.
The story is that Capt. Jones at that
time needed the services of an expert
draugntsman. He applied to the head
of the draughting department fer a
man, asking for the best man in the
place.
81 have no best man, said the chief.
"They are all good.
Capt. Jones went away. The next
day an order was issued that to COM
plete certain piece of work all of the
draughtsmen should work two hours
overtime each day for several weeks
without pay. Al of the draughtsmen
grumbled except one man. CAPT. Jones
came along the next day and said to
the chief of the draughtine department:
How do the men like that order?"
They don't like it and are all
grumbiine except enc man." was the
reply.
Who is that MANI" asked Capt.
Jones.
''Sohwab. -
give me Schwab, " SAID Capt. Jones'
From that day the young draughts-
mans success began. The man who
told this story was asked what he
thought of President Sohwab. He said
"Charlie Schwab has no equal as an
executive. in the steel world today

fact must not be overlooked by us that

FIRE NEAR NEWARK.

Special Correspondence of Gazette and Journal.
Newark, Oct. 10-The barn, granary and
other outbuildings Oh the Morrow farm,
near Pencader, station on the r., W. q b,
railroad, were burned to the ground yester-
day afternoon. The fire was discovered by a
young man cutting corn in field nearby,
who ran to the house and gave the alarm,
The dense smoke attracted many persons
from this town, who quickly made their way
to the scene. They were too late, however,
to save the buildings already on fire, but
they gave their attention to saving the
dwelling house, which was but a short dis
lance away. By forming bucket brigade.
led by Thomas Riley of the Newark fire
company, the building was saved, although
the heat was so intense at tiLIes as to scorch
the weather boarding.
The barn contained a quantity of hay,
straw and farming implements and all were
total loss. In the granary was stored sew
era hundred bushels of wheat. James Stat
ford was tenant on the farm, and the loss
will prove quite heavy.
The origin of the fire is not known. The
superstition is that the fire was started from
sparks from a pipe or a match carelessly
thrown about the harm by some men EN-.
ployed cutting corn.

where to Find Its Nest. and How II Feed
H4tl.. FnunC.


s5 1 Is Young.
In st. Nicholas Henry Haies writes
Of the ruby throated humming bird.
The humming. bird builds on the
upper side of branch, a branch
The nest ia beautifully felted with fine
white vegetable down aud studded on
the outside with fine liuhens and minute
specks Of bark like the branch itself.
They do not seem to retire to secluded
places to build; they ars as eccentric in
their chuice OF nesting place as in
their nature aud habits. Some suppose
their nests are near the gardens or vines
they visit; but that is not often the
case. A few magic vibrations of the
wings, and they are far away in few
seconds. -
The last nest found was on the outer
end OF branch OF silver Poplar that
hung over public road; every carriage
tor that passed under IL was within q
few feet Of the nest--the last place IN
the world where ] should have expected
to find auoh a nest. / should not have
seen 1t except that l was accidentally
looking up into the tree, and / saw,
pro.ruding over the side OF the nest,
the long, fine bill that happened just
then to stir. Tbs nest might have been
passed hundreds OF times and been
taken for small knot unless thus be-
trayed. M
These birds lay but two sges-tiry
white morsels. The young birds when
first Matched are curious little things,
and feed by inserting their bills In the
mouths and throats of their parents.
As the food Of the parents is composed
of nectar and fine insects, it is easily
made rsady for the little ones tiny
stomachs.

POMICE STONE.


Manuiacturer.
The German Naohrichten fuer Handel
und lndustrie contains some interesting
details as to the production Of pumioe
stone in Italy. This is found principally
on the Island of Lipari in the north
west Of which there is large deposit
from one to four meters thick, and
covering about 1880 hectares %, Cos
acres), which consists of pumice stone
mixed with lightly cemented volcanic
ash, The pumioe deposits are worked
in very primitive fashion by means
Of small quarries. The number OF these
is from 200 to 900, but most of them
are worked only from May to October,
two-thirds being abandoned during the
winter months. AT the time OF greatest
activity about 800 persons, including
100 women, are employed in the ex-
oavatiuns. In 1890 the production
amounted TO $1,000 tons, and has in
creased since that date. The sale price
Of pumice stone varies between 37s. Cd.
and Ell 5s. Fer ton, but very fine quail
ties are also produced which fetch G75
and even nearly 9200 per ton. The
average price, however, is from SIS.
to f6 FER ton. The pumice stone
produced is sold to merchants, who
sort it according to color, weight
and size, and send it to the
town of Lipari to be cleaned and
polished. The refuse and broken pieces
are ground 10 hand mills to powder.
There are l6 recognized qualities and
vnrities OF pumice stone in the market,
some of the finest qualities being used
in cleaning and polishing works Of art,
other qualities for lithograpbic pur-
poses, preparing leather, &c. Abou,
900 work people, l20 being females, arc
employed In the factories engaged in
the preparation and cleansing OF
| phmioe stone for sale.
