Frau X, an invalid lady. attended
by her maid, arrived recently at i
well known "cure" resort in Germany,
ard proceeded on the morning after
her arrival TO call on a doctor recon-
mended by her Berlin physician,
whose name we will also suppress, says
the London Telegraph. She presented
a letter of recommendation, which the
medical man read after hearing from
the patient her version Of an intermin-
able list of ailments from which she
declared she was suffering. He shook
his head, felt her pulse and examined
Fer heart, and then turned to the let
ter, which purported TO be the physi-
clans description of her maladies. The
letter read as follows: "Rup, fens, le-
diega, n. s. ord ent. Ii, chihTiSt, nixzi,

again, and saw that the letters when
put in their proper order ran as fol-
lows: "Rupfen sic die Cans oredntlicE,
ihr list nix. Ziehen sic ihr aber die Fee
dern enzein aus, sehr langsam, DAMMIT

means he may perhaps be restored to
health. Do you understand"
The doctor turned again to his pa
tient, felt her pulse. shook his head,
and with a still more anxious express
sion of face gave his advice: My good
lady, your malady is indeed of a very
serious nature. but it is not at all dam
gerous. You must go through a Sc

You must rise at O'Clock in the morn

OUR TROOPS IN CUBA.

Mr.. Root, Secretary of War; has not
yet responded to the request of Presi-
dent Palma for the removal of the re-
mainder of our troops from Cuba He
has it under advisement. 1t seems
that President Palma is embarrassed
by the presence of these soldiers wear
ing the uniform of the United States,
though exactly how is not clearly APP
parent.
The number of United States troops
still in Cuba is very small-a mere
handful. as it were. Still, their pres
ence is a sign that the United States
have a string to Cuba Such a sign is
doubtless irritating to the more SEN
sitive Cubans, though the very best
of feeling exists between the soldiers
and the populace.
Not since May. when the great ma
jority of the soldiers were removed
from the island, has the United States
uniform been conspicuous there in pub
lie places. For quite a while after the
evacuation of the island the few SOL
diers remaining kept in the back
ground for fear that their presence
might prove to be Objectionable, but
within the last two or three months
they have moved about more freely
and their presence has not been the
subject of unpleasant comment.
1t may be that the failure of Con-
gress to make tariff concessions to
Cuba has something to do with the re-
quest for the removal of the remainder
of the troops, or it may be that the
Cuban Congress thinks it would feel
freer to act on certain questions bear
ing upon the relations between the
United States and Cuba if the Ameri-
can flag were not flying in the breeze
in any part of the island.
Still another reason suggests itself
1t is that President Palma has been ac-
cused by his own people of being too
friendly to the United States and
United States interests. There is no
doubt of course that there is no Cuban
more loyal to Cuba than he is, but if
he permits United States soldiers to re-
main on the island such permission
may be interpreted to mean that the
charge, that he is more American than
Cuban, has some foundation
1t is probable that the only reason
why our government left a few soldiers
on the island was that they might be
needed in the event of a disturbance
of more than local Importance. Cuba
has very few troops of her own, and
the government would hardly be able
to take care of itself in the event of an
outbreak of popular discomfort. IT is
the understanding, however. that the
Cuban Congress is preparing to pro-
vide a very considerable native force.
Doubtless the request for the with

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Birmingham Age Herald (Dem.)
says: THE coal strike has a political
side as big as a mountain. and it is
this side that is receiving so much at
tention in political circles"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: Politically the coal strike
will be most serious in it's effects in
the group of northeastern states where
most of the hard coal is consumed as
fuel. The South uses very little of it,
owing to the climate, while its use in
the West and far West is restricted
owing to the high prices caused, even
in ordinary times, by the long freight
haul"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.), says:
an the opinion of Senator Depew all
this talk about the trusts is most in
judiciOus and tends to unsettle values
1t may be remembered that Mr.. Depew
manifested a similar solicitude for the
stability of values when people ex-
pressed some resentment at the blow
ing up of the Maine. There is MOTH
ing so important as a proper regard for
values"
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
says: "That there is a wide field for
the expansion of our export trade in
cotton goods is proven by the fact that
the countries that buy their raw cot
ton from this country still supply near
ly all the cotton goods consumed out
side our borders. The value of the cot
ton goods imported by those foreign
countries having statistical records
amounts to nearly $500, 600 900 annually,
and of this the United States supplies
at present but about $50, 100000 per an
mum. or less than per cent. nearly
all of the remainder being supplied by
countries which do not produce cotton
and which draw practically all of their
raw cotton from the United States.
With these facts made clear, il is easy
TO see that there is great room for the
expa nsion of the cotton manufacturing
industry in this country, as there is a
practically unlimited field In which to
distribute eur surplus manufactures"

MOSQUITOES AND RATS.

If certain experts Of the Marine Hos
pital Service and the Quarantine Ser
vice. at home and abroad. are correct
in their conclusions, about the very
worst enemies of the human race are
mosquitoes and rats. 1t is alleged, and
the position is stoutly argued by the
professional gentlemen, that mosqui-
toes are responsible wholly for yellow
fever, while the bubOnic plague is dis
tributed through the agency Of rats.
DR.. H. r. Carter Of the Marine Hos
pital Service has devoted himself for
some time to the study of yellow fever
in the West Indies and Central and
South America. Lately he has taken
part in the Investigations at Vera
Cruz; and it is his firm conviction that
the mosquito is the only means of the
spread of yellow fever. He has watched
the transportation of baggage from in
fected to healthy ports for twenty
years and says he is satisfied that the
germs are not carried in clothing or
similar materials. In parts of Cuba
and Formosa, where exceptional pre-
mosquitoes and to protect persons
against their bites, the yellow fever
has practically disappeared. He thinks
the micro-organism undergoes a
change after it is taken up by the mos
quito from the body of a sick person,
and that as a consequence of this
change when it is deposited in the
veins of a well person by the insect
such well person becomes afflicted with
the disease provided the system is
susceptible to it at the time. At all
events, and shorn of all technical lam
guage it is the belief of Dr. Carter
that if the mosquito were eliminated,
the yellow fever would go with it.
The chief quarantine officer at Ma
Mia, DR.. Perry. in a recent report to
the War Department, asserts with pos
itiveness that rats were responsible for
the outbreak and spread of the bubonic
plague in the Philippine capital. The
quarantine officials suspected the rats
some months ago and began a vigorous
war against them. Rats were captured
and examined. and they showed the
presence of bubonic plague germs Sick
rats were found, suffering with the
plague; and wherever such rats ex-
listed an outbreak of the fearful NAL
ady followed. In the anti-rat warfare
every conceivable means of killing the
rodents was employed Vessels holds
were sealed up and filed with sulphur
fumes, and poisons were used; and
wherever the rats had been wiped cut
the spread of the epidemic was imme-
diatey checked. Special records were
kept of certainav villages, and invariably
the war on the rats was followed by
the decline and disappearance of the
disease.
1t Is possible, of course. that the ex-
perts have not yet solved the secret
of these two dreadful diseases, but if
they have found a means of diminish
ing their rayages, they have wrought
well for humanity. The mosquito, a
most unwelcome visitor under any cir
cumstances, is the creature of bad
drainage and unfavorabe sanitary
conditions, and the rat is a foul and
despsable vermin deserving of speedy
extinction. Whether or not they are
the disease carriers which they stand
charged with being, it is unquestion-
ably a good idea to wage a relentless
campaign against them.

Booker T. Washington recently told
a gathering of negroes that one of the
great faults of his race was dispo-
sition to exhibit knowledge under. any
and all circumstances, and asserted
that, until the negro learned not to dis
play his vanity, he was useless in any
confidential capacity, says the Phila-
delphta Ledger. BY way of illustrator
he told a story which, he said, might
be or might not be apocryphaI. but
which was good enough to be true.
Gen. Sherman had been told that the
soldiers of a negro regiment in his
command We're very lax when on SEN
try duty, and showed a fondness for
passing doubtful persons through the
lines just to indulge their power to do
so. To ascertain if this were so. he
mufIied himself one night in a cloak.
and tried to get past a black sentry.
After the Who goes there?" and "a
friend" and the Advance, friend, and
give the countersign," had been ex-
changed. Sherman replied:
"RoXbury!"
mo. sah!" was the polite but firm
response.
"Medford!"
mo, sah!"
