KINGS VISITS TO THE THEATR RE
Invariably Increase Business TITLES for
Actors Inc writers1

~ SN ~ ~ '"
LONDON, Feb. 15.-The King and Queen
and the Prince and Princess Of Wales have
beer doing considerable theatre-going,
displaying a catholic taste in their selection
OF plays. 1t has been noted that the visit
oftheir Majesties to any theatre is invariably
productive of increased advance bookings.
Consequently the managers a more
than the mere compliment to appreciate.
Yet ever when the piece is a great sue
cess, which cannot reasonably hope TO do
better. a royal visit is eagerly coveted and
one or two old established theatres are just
now distinctly jealous that the King has not
favored them. while the younger and es-
pecially the foreign houses ave had the
honor TO be the first places of public amuse-
ment TO be visited by the King after his
year Of mourning.
There has been considerable talk In con-
nection with the coronation honors list that
the King. who is more appreciative Of litera-
ture and the drama than Queen Victoria
was. will recognize both in the way Of con-
ferring titles on persons prominent in both
professions. Charles Wyndham, Beer
bonn Tree. Rudyard Kipling and DR.. Conan
Doyle are spoken of as likely to be knighted
A well-known writer Of a weekly literary
review suggests this week that Anthony
Hope has imperilled his chance by his
frank references in MIR. Pilkertons Peer

CANADIAN SHINGLES COMING.
British Columbia Mills to Invade the
American Markets.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Feb. l6-Shingle mill
owners are preparing to invade the Amer
lean markets. The men her g say the
American mills can spare no shingles for
western Canada and cannot supply their
own markets owing to the wide prosperity
In the States, making the demand very
heavy. They need British Columbia cedar
logs and the British Columbia Government
prohibits export. On the strength OF
this all the shingle mills here are increasing
their capacity. The Hastings Single Mil
Company has started work on what IL
says viii be the biggest mill in the world.
This mill will be erected on Vancouver
harbor and will have a capacity OF ! $50 900
shingles per day.
Every logger In British Columbia has
signed a petition to the Government praying
that the law prohibiting the export OF
cedar to the States be rescinded, as the
rough cedar cannot be sold in British CO.
lumbia, but has a ready market on Puget
Sound. Thus far the Government has
turned a deaf ear to their entreaties. The
Government believes that Puget Sound
mill men will be forced TO establish mills here
owing to the abundance of available cedar
on this side Of the line.

HAyANA FREE or YELLOW JACK.
Kming OF Mosquitoes Prsvss Successful
Not q Case since September.


Special caas Dsspsiea 10 TEE SUE.
HAVANA, Feb. i6.-Major Gorgas, chief
sanitary officer. In reviewing the health
conditions Of Havana for 1901. says the
main feature Of the year Of course was
yellow fever. General disinfeotion a.
carried out In other contagious diseases
was extensively and faithfully tried. but
with little or no effect. Then yellow fever
sharply and suddenly disappeared after
the introduction of the system Of killing
the theory that mosquitoes were the only
means Of transmitting the disease.
From Sept. 20, 1901, TO Feb. Is. 1907. there
has not been q case Of yellow fever In Ha-
n This condition II remarkable. In
the previous forty-nve years scarcely q
month passed without a death occurring
from yellow fever. The maximum was In
1857 when 2.oss deaths occurred. The
minimum was 81 In the year 1866. The
average was ISL. In 1901. he year the
new system was inaugurated. there were
only IS deaths. IL Of which occurred before
the system was put into effect.
Major Gorgas considers that this is pretty
definite proof that yellow fever had been
endemic In Havana since 1852. For the
reasons given In the above statistics he
considers hat Havana has been purged
OF yellow fever by the killing Of infected
mosquitoes. This statement is most i'm
portant, as yellow fever might at any time
be introduced into the Southern States OF
America.
The general sanitary methods which
have been introduced here by Americans
have reduced the all-round mortality from
81, 252 In 1898 to s,l6s In 1909. e,io7 In 1900
and o,72o In 1901. During the past thirty
one years the average death rate has been
forty-one. In the year 1901 II was twenty
two.
The figures show that the hygienio con-
ditions In Havana In 1899 were better than
ever before, yet there were $40 deaths from
yellow fever, In 1900. At the beginning
OF 1901 the prospects in regard TO yellow
fever were bad. There was a large nom
immune population. Cases a occurred
In all parts OF the town. In january there
were twenty-four cases and seven deaths,
In February five deaths. Then Governor
General Wood determined that no pre-
caution should be spared. He ordered that
mosquitoes should be destroyed and this
work was begun on the list Of March.
In regard TO tuberculosis the report shows
that it is about the same as In other cities.
The death rate among negroes in Havana.
however. is very high.
This probably will be tho last time that
an American army officer will sum up
conditions. Therefore. 1t might be well
to contrast a few moro obtaining In Ha-
vana during the past year as against
those before the beginning Of the Amer
lean occupation. In 1901, under American
occupation. tho deaths were 5.72o. In
1898 the deaths numbered II ,262. Smallpox
was endemic in havana at that time. here
as there has not been a case In the last
eighteen months. Furthermore, yellow
fever has been stamped out in it's greatest

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Assertions have been
made in the press In the past few days
that a new valve mechanism. which has
been tested on the Great Northern Railway,

40 pounds of steam will do more work
than an ordinary one with 2lo pounds.
The President Of the road told the stock
holders yesterday that its importance was
probably exaggerated.
