FAMOUS EDUCATOR E A

BALTIMORE, Md, April 16.-Prof. Hen
ry A. Rowland. of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, died suddenly at his home in this
city to-day. Although the professor had
been in i'll health for several months, it
was not Until a few days G that his
symptoms became at all alarming and his
death was entirely unexpected He was
born in Honesdale, Pa, November %, lS4S,
and was graduated from Rensselaer, Poly
technic Institute in 1870 as a civil engineer.
In 1876 he accepted the chair of physics
with charge of the laboratory of the Johns
Hopkins University, which he held until
his death. He was a member of the Elec-
trical Congress that met in Paris in 1881,
and served on the jury Of the electrical
exhibition there in that year, and for his
services was made a chevalier of the Le-
gion Of Honor.
Abo fifteen years ago, he gained world
wide reputation by his large diffraction
gratings, which are ruled by a method of
his own directly on concave mirrors.
The photographs of the solar spectrum
that he succeeded in making with these
gratings surpass anything else of the kind
that has ever been done. In 1889 he was
chosen president of the American Physical
Society and in 1895 and 1896 was given the
honorary degree Of Ii. D. by Yale and
Princeton Universities, respectively.

A skeleton at the Feast.

New York World. no
A despatch from the Worlds CORES
pondent at Los Angeles, published yes
terday, gave the last glimpse of that
melancholy train of Porto Rican exlles.
When they landed on our southern
coasts a few days ago they gave the
American people a vivid object lesson
in what is happening in Porto Rico.
Now they have vanished again, for who
in America knows or cares about Ha-
wall and its armies of contract-labor
slaves?
They sailed on Saturday in the Zea-
landia, nick-named the "Slave Ship"
Twelve of the party of 900 had died
since they left San Juan. The death
certificates give the causes as per
nicious anaemia," which is not the
medical equivalent for benevolent as
similation,' but for lack of blood and
want of nutriment." Their railway
journey had been in cars fouler than
cattle cars and more crowded. Their
quarters on the Zealandia are squalid
and inhumanly cramped.
AS the ship was leaving, the mother
of one of the youths who had just died
begged to be allowed to kiss her dead
child's face once more, but this was de-
MED to her" And so the "Slave Ship"
with the free flag of the Republic
floating at its masthead, dropped down
to sea with the walls of this mother
borne back upon the breeze.

ONE NOTE OF O P

naI1stIc GIOOm.
LONDON, April 16.-The British
newspapers and magazines commenting
upon the alternating periods of hope
and apprehension which characterize
the later stages of the South African
campaign, compare these with the later
stages of the American war of indie
pendence as though to emphasize these
fluctuations.
While the letters of responsible cor
respondents in Pretoria depict the stu
alton in a rather desparing mood, the
Pretoria representative of the Daily Mail
sends to-day a despatch of the most
hopeful character:
The next six weeks he says, will
see a resumption Of active campaigning.
Lord Kitchener will renew his sweep
ing movements. He has an army Of
100000 efficient troops, including 60, 900
mounted men with a good supply of

CUBA'S DESTINY,

Manifest destiny-and in using the

evidently intended the union of Cuba
and the United States. American
craftsmanship, beginning with and in
Guiding Jefferson, has believed in and
advocated this union, which Nature has
already planned. Annexation to the
United States is the only method of
giving Cuba the safe and stable gov
eminent she has always lacked and al
ways will lack, so long as she is left
to herself.
While the Register has always advo-
Gated annexation, we believe It should
come only with the free consent Of the

seeing the patient open her eyes. In q
few seconds more the woman raised her
head and asked for something to eat.
DR.. Reichstein makes the following
statement:
Mrs. Allen went on the table in the
best of spirits, and we were all surprised
when she Unexpectedly collapsed. Every
him known to medical science was done
to revive her, and we had entirely given
up hopes of bringing her back to life when
it was decided to inject normal salt solu-
ton into her veins.
II am satisfied the woman's heart did
not pulsate for at least three minutes, and
every movement of the respiratory system
stopped before the injection of the normal
salt solution was made. Salt promises to
revolutionize medical science, and I would
not be surprised to see it some day become
the agent by which the slender thread OF
life will BIZ prolonged to a remarkable x
tent.
THE normal salt solution is nothing
more than sixty grains, or a teaspoonful,
of common salt added to a pint Of dis
titled water. The salt is dissolved and

Truly medical science is in its veriest
infancy when the wonderful powers
contained in an article of such common
ana everyday use as salt have so long
escaped US.

Register believes, will be freely given
when the Cubans are o fully ac-
quainted with the real benefits of Amer
lean government and are relieved from
irkeome military rule, which is scarce
ly an improvement over the Spanish
regime. Once given good American
civil government the intelligent people
of the island, especially those of means
and influence and who have property
rights to be guarded, will be but too
anxious for more of it and a full union
with the United States.
Even under the present Objectionable
military regime conditions have Won
derfully changed for the better in
Cuba. Senator Cockrell's report shows
that Havana and the other Cuban cities
are now clean and healthful after hav-
ing been for generations foul with dirt
and reeking with disease. Where, in
1898, was a population of starving men,
dicants, the Missouri Senator found but
three beggars, with the mass OF the
people In a fairly prosperous state.
Schools have been established and
something like stable and just provis-
ional government is now maintained.
1t will not take intelligent Cubans
long to see where their best interests
lie and the outcome sooner or later
must surely be annexation.
Meanwhile, certain interests in the
United States influential with the adj
ministration do not want the island
annexed and its products admitted free,
while certain other numerous and
equally influential interests desire at
least just enough American authority
in the island to permit them to grab
from the Cubans such franchises, con-
cessions and rights as are of value and
worth exploiting. And to advancing
the schemes of the latter the admins

THE RICH.


According to DR.. Rainesford. Of New
York City, metropolitan civilization is
rapidly approaching the state of decay
which in France is said to be causing
an excess of deaths over births.
DR.. R~ainesford specifically accuses
the rich. Their palaces, he declares, are
childless, while the poverty-stricken
tenements of the poor swarm with chill
dren. And his accusations are borne
out by the facts. Reports from twelve
prominent churches attended by fam
lilies of wealth and fashion showed a
total membership of 1861, with but
$500 children on the rolls of the Sun
day schools. 1t was reported h a only
sixty-one children attended the Sunday
school Of a church which has 1000
members.
DR.. R~ainesford boldly accuses the
women of high" society of Sinking
the duty of motherhood In order to be
free for the pursuit of pleasure. This
is not the first time this accusation has
been made. Investigation reveals the
fact that the homes of the rich are
practically childless. In the mile of
palaces on Fifth avenue, between Fifty
seventh and Seventy-second streets,
there are only fifteen children under
twelve years of age. The average is
about one child to three of those cost
ly and beautiful homes.
A newspaper reporter, after listen
ing to DIR. Rainesford, went out to look
for the rising generation and he found
it in the poor quarter of the city, on
the east side. In those crowded streets
their only playground-were the boys
and girls who are to form the majority
in the New York of the future.
In one tenement-house were found
more than four times as many children
as live in the mansions that extend for
a mile along Fifth e There was
no evidence that this house was more
populous than any other in. the neigh
borhood. The crowd of youngsters that
blocked the sidewalk in front of it was
no denser than anywhere else.
Riotous, noisn child-life swarming
everywhere among the ~poor-among
the rich, cold, gloomy, silent, childless
respectability. There is much point in
Rev. DR.. Rainesford's remarks:
Women were made to be wives and
mothers. We are living too fast, dressing
too well, luxuriating, and woman has in
many cases apparently forgotten that her
highest vocation in life is to be the be-
mother of his children.
What nobler mission is there in life
than that? The childless people are really
poverty-stricken people. ] am sorry for
the woman who grows old without having
a child.
Il find from my experience with the poor
and the rich that the results Of small fam
lilies among the latter class are not as
good as might be expected, and of large
families with the former class not as bad
as might be expected. | see many advan-
tages in large families.
1T is not a time of home-making now.
People are giving up homes and going
back into hotel and boarding house life.
And on the heels of this movement there
is another evil treading.
Hotel life and boarding house life mean
small families, or no families at all, and
l do not exaggerate when / say there are
no greater facts to face, with one of the
gravest dangers and one of the least ex-
cusable signs of the times"
