BOYS AND GIRLS OF CUBA.
Question Of Providing Schooling for
Half q Million.

From the Cuban Agriculturist, Havana.
Where and how shall the 100000 children
Of school age in Cuba be provided for
where there Is only room and teachers for
10000? What shall be done for the re-
naming 800. 600? If We could reach the ears
Of the mothers Of the 80 900 900 people of
the great and powerful nation to the north
whose children are all comfortably clothed
and provided with a snug little desk in the
hundreds Of thousands of school buildings
where education Is as free as air, we would
ask them to come here and watch the faces
Of these little uncared-for waits as they
see their more fortunate fellows go by with
their satchel or packet of books on their
way to school, as the writer has done. We
are sure they would be deeply moved. II
their thoughts could be portrayed In words
as their feelings are upon their faces, they
would wiring tears from a stone image.
Surely II the truth of the condition of
these 320, 900 children could be brought to
the minds OF these mothers. some action
would be taken. some movement set on
brought to an end. For three hundred
years 1t has shrouded the greater part of
the people Of these islands In mental dark
ness. In the name of God and humanity
may it now Terminate.
Surely some public movement might be
set on foot and money raised by subscrip-
ton. even II 1t cannot be supplied by act
Of Congress. Some of the Rockefellers or
Carnegies, who are endowing colleges and
public libraries with their millions, might
be persuaded to take a little interest in
these forsaken. neglected little boys and
girls. who are now only able to hopelessly
and sadly look at the outside of school
house. and who, unless times quickly
/ change for the better on this island. are
doomed to grow up In ignorance and vice
and be, added to the illiterate class which
three years ago Comprised about 05 per

How High Can a Balloon Rise.
! Harper's Magazine.

From Harper's Magazine.
The altitude that may be attained by a
balloon depends. first. upon It's size: second
ly. upon the filling OF gas, and. thirdly,
upon the weight being carried. A balloon
Of ordinary size. $1,000 cubic feet, carrying
the smallest weight-that Is. one person
when filled with Illuminating gas may
reach 10000 feet but when filled with n.y.
drogen $1,000 feet In order to ascend higher
we first of all need bigger balloon. One
may say 1t was happy chance that the
Royal Meteorological Institute Of Berlin
was provided with balloon Of the unusual
dimensions Of 100000 cubic feet. The Ger
man emperor furnished $500 for making ex-
periments with 1t, and the Meteorological
Institute decided to make use OF this OPP
portuptty for studying the highest regions
Of atmosphere.

Liberty. No, April The Rock Island
surveyors have finished running a line
from Trenton to Harlem for the pro-
posed new route to Kansas City. The
distance is fourteen miles less than the
way the Chicago-Kansas City trains are
run now by way of Gallatin and Cam
eron. From the latter place to Kansas
City the Hannibal 81 st. Joseph tracks
are now used.
Reports received at the general Offices
of the Rock Island at Topeka show a
hattering record for the new FL Paso
snort line express for the first month Of
its existence Eastbound the train was
late into Kansas City only three times
during the month, and although the
train was late few mornings at FL
RasO on the WestbOund trips, the con-
nectiOn was always made with the
Southern Pacific train to Los Angeles
and San Francisco. This is considered
an excellent showing when it is taken
into consideration that the track and
facilities are all entirely new.
At the recent n Getting in Chicago of
the passenger agents and division sup
erintendents of the Rock Island it was
announced that beginning April 10 solid
trains would be run through to Ell PasO
from Chicago instead of from Kansas
City, thereby giving the people of To-
J peka and Kansas City a daylight ser
vice between here and Chicago Leaving
/ Chicago the train viii depart at 8
O'Clock in the morning and viii arrive
at Kansas City at 1890 that evening,
and will pass through Topeka shortly
after midnight. Eastbound the train
viii pass through Topeka at $50 a. m
and Kansas City at 1920 a. m. arriving
in Chicago at 10 O'Clock that evening.
The Inauguration of a daylight train
between Chicago and Kansas City by
the Rock Island is an innovation.
The Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific
railroad is building six new cafe obser-
walton cars for the use of the through
train service between Chicago and Ill
Paso. The new cars will be ready for
use within a few weeks.
Official announcement has been made
of the appointment of George f. Lee as
/ general agent of the passenger depart
ment of the Chicago, Rock Island and
| years Mr.. Lee has been city passenger
and ticket agent of that company.
Mr. George B. Mcclellan, travelling
freight and passenger agent of the G.,

public of Mexico with the exception
of that portion, Chihuahua and north,

/ al agent, City of Mexico.

SHE BLACKED HIS EYE.
Then George Redgate Left His Happy
Home.

Mrs. George Redgate, Of 633 Branner
street, is looking for a husband Last
Sunday he had a slight disturbance
with his wife relative to his attentions
to another woman. and his spouse gave
him a black eye. Next day he took q
load of broOms out through the coun-
try to sell, and also took q BOY who
worked for him. He returned as far
as Silver Lake, where he told the boy to
bring the team into town and he would
ride on the train. 1t is quite possible
that he rode on the train, but ne did not
return to his happy home. Mrs. Red
gate thought seriously of putting a de-
tective on his trail. but friends per
suaded her to believe that she was
easily rid of a bad bargain, and the
matter has been dropped Redgate is
a broOmmaker by trade, and for the
past year has been a. member Of the
firm of Redgate & Cummings. For sew
eral years prior to that he was en-
ployed by Candy Bros. in their broom
shop at 1924 East Sixth avenue. When
he first began work for the Gandys five
years ago he wore the name Of George
Rothmiller, which he dropped and re-
sumed his own at the time of his mar
r1age. He is a man about 30 years OF
age, and has worn several nom ds
plumes He has been known as Lewis,
Westgate, Rothmiller and Redgate.
