could not be changed by him, if he
wished to do it, and that in this case he
has no wish to do so, as he regards the
conditions as fair and just to both Cuba
and the United States, and does not
consider the subject one that admits of
any discussion.
The prevalent opinion in Washington
is that the Cubans will make very
short visit and that they will, when
they return, advise the Constitutional
Convention to accept the Platt amend
ments, and that the advice will be taken.
They are bound to learn, ii they do not
already know, that the conditions offered
by the Platt amendments are considered
entirely fair by members of all political
parties, and that if they are not accepted
now there isn't the slightest probability
that they will be changed at the next
session of Congress.

Ways Of Gotham
Some Queer Things

New YORK, Apr. 23.-The Herald
makes charges that four men, one OF
whom is prominent Tammany man,
have bought the right to maintain l6
poolrooms in Manhattan. It is said
$60, 900 has been raised, with which they
arranged for protection such as was fur
nished previous to the recent upheaval
in the Police Department, and also ap-
preached detectives of the Committee of
Fifteen. Thirty thousand dollarsis said
to have gone to one man-an official who
is in position to nullify the work that
may be done by District Attorney Phil
bin, Judge Jerome and others. The plan
is to make test ca e, which will result
in giving protection to violators OF the
law.
OF the remaining $50. 600 some went to
the "agents" of the Committed OF Fifteen
and more went to prosecuting official.
The Herald declares further that the
combines l6 poolrooms are in operation
and gives a list OF the buildings occupied.
1t also charges that several poolroom
proprietors who were refused admission
to the combination attempted to reopen
without protection and that Ave of these
were promptly raided by the Fifteen's
agents on Tuesday afternoon, as told in
police reports. Two of the combines
places were also raided, but did not suf-
fer, as they received notice in advance,
and it is alleged were reopened today.

agraph of the penal code providing pun

OF the Archduke Francis Ferdinand,
heir-apparent to the throne, in accept
ing the patronage OF the Austrian Cath
olic Schools Association, and in deliver
ing an address which was interpreted as
an attack upon Protestanism. The

New Use for Electricity.

A professor recently discovered that
electricity is stimulant for the brain.
We do not wish to dispute the merits Of
this discovery but are inclined to think
that the only natural stimulant for the
brain is sleep. If you are not able to
sleep you are certainlyin bad way. 1t
is usually caused by the stomach being
out of order, the disturbance being COM
municated to the brain. Keep the
stomach in good condition by the use OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and you
will have insomnia no longer. 1t is a
splendid medicine for strengthening the
nerves and will cure dyspepsia, indiges-
ton. constipation and biliousness. AS
spring tonic it has no equal. See that

wholly to their culture. The purpose in
raising the snakes is to secure their oil,
and the two species decided upon are
said to meet the requirements best be-
cause they grow rapidly and have short
fat bodies. They claim that snake,
properly fed and cared for, can be ma
tured for oil-producing purposes in three
months, and that there is demand for
snake oil which is many times larger
than the supply. They also claim that
the profit will be very large because the
supply is SO limited and the demand so
far in excess of it.
They are now starting with 400 snakes
of the two species mentioned, and nearly
all Of them are females. They expect
this number to be multiplied many
times before the middle OF the summer,
and the old ones and many of the young
will be fattened and killed and the oil

but they admit that they made more
money with the oil OF the few snakes

the entire farm when they devoted
themselves to growing wheat, corn, oats

TEST OF intake PIPE
Diver Frank Ram, of Chicago,
Here to Ascertain Whether
There is a Leak.
MOUTH Is TO BE PLUGGED.
Expert Finds the Pipe Very Well
Laid--To Begin Work
in Morning.

Frank Ram. the diver " no has been
engaged to examine the intake pipe
at the waterworks and ascertain if
there is leak in it, arrived from
Chicago Saturday night with an as
sistant and today made preliminary
examination OF the end of the p pc
Owing to the fact that the cemenE in
which the pipe is laid projects past
the end of the pipe the plug that had
been prepared for use in stop ping it
up was found to be impracticsble and
another had to be made. Every thing
will be in readiness to take up the
work in the morning, and if nothing
unforeseen occurs by tomorrow even
ing the city officials expect to be in a
position to state whether sewage has
been the cause of typhoid fever.
PIsn OF Operations
The plan of the diver, to which
reference has been previously made,
is to stop the mouth of the intake pipe
with a wooden plug OF the proper
size. The one being made will be
provided with a Jack to push it tight
and hold it i'll place by PRESSURE
against the rocks in front of iC. Then
the water will be pumped out of the
well into which :he pipe empties by
the force of gravity, and if the flow
ceases the pipe will be evidently with
out fault. If on the other hand water
continues to flow into the well, it will
be known there is leak. Then coz
nection will be made at the well with
an air pump such as is used in loco
motives and the pipe filled with air.
The exact place of the leak will be in
dicafed by bubbles rising to the surface
of the water.
Pipe Should BE Extended.
The north end of the pipe is only
about eight feet below the surface
Mr.. Ram. with three or four assist
anti. will work from a barge. On
looking over the pipe for some dis
lance back from the mouth this
morning he pronounced it very we'll
laid and the joints SO far as they were
visible to be 10 perfect condition. Ii
leak is discovered it will proba bly,
be found cheaper to hire diver to do
the repairing than TO build Golfer
dam. Mr.. Rams charges are s25 a
day while he is on the ground.
Waterworks Superintendent Ban
croft is of the opinion that the mouth
of the pipe should be placed farther
out in the channel than it is at pres
emit. With the water as low as it is
now an eddy is formed over the pipe
and it is possible some slough water
is drawn in ard caught by the sue,
ton.
