HAVE PURIFIED HAVANA.

War Department Reviews It's Real
ly Remarkable Work and Claims
to Have Settled the Yellow Fever
Question.
Washington, March 22.-An interest
ing statement concerning the improve
ment in health conditions in Havana
since the American occupation of Cuba,
with special reference to the vital sta
tistics for the calendar year 1901, has
been made public by the insular divis-
ion of the war department Particular
attention is paid to the purging of the
city from yellow fever during the past
year by the destruction of infectious
mosquitoes. The number of infectious
and contagious diseases has been small
during the calendar year 1901.
A marked decrease in malaria has oc-
CURED since the mosquito work be-
gan. The statement concludes as fol-
lows:
THE army took, charge of the health
department of Havana when deaths
were occurring at the rate of 21,252
per year. 1t gives it up with deaths
occurring at the rate of 5,720 per year.
1t took charge with smallpox epidemic
for years. 1t gives it up with not a
for over eighteen months. 1t took
charge with yellow fever epidemic for
two centuries. 1t found Havana
feared as thing unclean
by all her neighbors of the United
States and quarantined against as too
dangerous to touch, or even to come
near anything that she had touched,
to the untold financial loss of both Ha-
vana and the United States. 1t has es-
tablished the fact that yellow fever is
only transmitted by a certain species
of mosquito, a discovery that, in it's
power for saving human life, is only
excelled by Jenner's great discovery,
and as time goes on it will stand in
the same class as that great boon TO
mankind.
1.-THE army has stamped out this dis
ease in its greatest stronghold, there
having been only five deaths In the
last nine months of the past year, and
no deaths and no cases during the last
three months of the same year, and
it has demonstrated a system by
which yellow fever can be certainly
controlled without interference to
commerce."

German woman bid in $40 .sorth of
goods, but when it came to settling
at the office she burst into tears and
declared that if we forced her to take
the goods she would be in dire trouble.
She had come to buy just one Kitchen
chair and had forgotten herself. Oh.
we would be good and take the rest
back, or her husband would be angry,
yes, she was quite sure he would get A
divorce for her foolishness- She was
so earnest that we finally took the
things off her hands-all except the
chair, and she went on her way rejoic-

gotten in her excitement to examine
the bed closely and as the bidding had
been Of her own making, we were in
