Cleansing Our New P~ossessions.
Manila, says the Manila Times, has
Havana as a model to follow in the
matter of public cleanliness. During
the Spanish days Cuba contained as
many vile pestholes as any city in Hin
dustan or other places in the orient,
but now Cuba has been flushed and
washed till it hardly. resembles it's for
mer self. The New York Tribune says
there has not been a case Of yellow fe-
yer in Havana for several months.
American experts in sanitation know
how to use disinfectants and purifying
chemicals, and above all they know
how to use the water and how to scrub
and how to sweeten. The air Of Cuba
is now sound and wholesome, thanks
chiefly to the American passion for the
best attainable conditions. The Queen
of the Antilles has had a bath at last.

persons were injured in a fire which
this afternoon destroyed the sanltarium

patients residing in the institution
were those seeking cure from the drink

the use of drugs. On the fifth floor
were the patients suffering from de-
lirium tremens and some deranged by
drugs. Some of those were strapped
to their beds ana it was found i'm
possible to save them, so rapidly did
the fire spread though the building.
The fire originated in the basement
of the building and spread rapidly to
the upper stories through the elevator

Mayor and Aldermen
Against Calender and Others-Pro.
ceeding's Declared to be
Irregular and VOID.

motions were filed by Messrs. Figuers
and Smiser, attorneys to dismiss the
cases of the Mayor and Aide men VS..
S. E. Calender, Mrs. Roth Martin,
w. j. Dale and wife, and Ira Brown.
The motion sets forth that the pro-
ceedings in these cases are unknown
to the forms of law that the action of
the Mayor and Aldermen IN attempt
ing to appropriate and condemn the
property of the defendants for the con-
struction of streets over, upon and
across the same is unwarranted in law
and void; that they are attempting to
take the private property of the defen-
dants for public uses and to arpropri-
ate and condemn the same for useless
public streets, when az a matter of
law the said corporation has no right
to do so, and cannot exercise the right
of eminent domain under its charter;
that proper and lawful notice was not
given to the defendants of said pro-
ceedings; that the seven freeholders
appointed by the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen to assess the damages, did
not act, but that only six of them ac-
ted. and one person not appointed by
the Board presumed to act and make a
report; that the city had no power to
appoint the said committee of free
holders to assess the damages in these
proceedings, and its attempt to do so,
and the action of said committee are
warrant in law and ultar

that the proceedings ON the part of the

LEONIDAS POLK.
Erection of Monument on Place
Where He Fell

The May number of the Confederate
Veteran contains the following account
Of the erection of a monument ON the
pot where Lieut.. Gen. Leonidas Polk
sfell:
there are several views of Pine Noun
in 1864. They were made on the day
Of dedicating the marble shaft erected
| by Mr.. j. Gidd Morris to the memory
of Lieut.. Gen. land Bishop Leonidas
Polk. There were present several hun
bred people, and the ceremony was
quite interesting and appropriate.
The freshness of the earth works was
amazing. There did not seem to have
been human being about the spot
except to erect this monument and to
cut the way through trees for vehicles
The rains seem to have fallen lightly
upon the earth works. The point is
much more elevated than had been
the impression of at least one who
recalls the day and the sad hour that
the news of Gen. Folks death was
passed along the lines. Comrade
Morris has sad memories of the war.
He says: The Yankees in overwhelm-
ing numbers came down here ana de
stroyed or took away the last move
able piece of property of my father,
drove my mother from her home and
killed my brothers on their own soil.
On the north side is engraved the
word North, and the following 'Veni,
vidi, vici, with five to one.
ION the south size of the monument
is inscribed the word, South, the
Confederate flag, with the dates 1851
and 1865, and the following
I'm memory of Lieutenant General
Leonidas Polk, who fell OIL this spot
on June IA, 1854.
'Folding his arms across his breast
he God gazing on the scene below,
turning himself around as il to take a |
farewell view. There standing. can
non shot from the enemy's guns
crashed through his breast and opened
a wide door through which his spirit
took its flight to join his comrades on
the other shore. Surely the earth
never opened her arms to allow the
head of Drawer man to rest upon
her bosom; surely the light never
pushed the darkness back to make
brighter the road that leads to the
Lamb, and surely the gates of heaven
never opened wider to allow more
manly spirit to enter therein.
Erected by J. Gidd and Mary
Norris April 10, 1902.
"From the monument which marks
he exact spot where Gen. Polk fell,
here is a grand panoramic view for
niles in all directions. The trunk of
ne chestnut tree which was struck by
he shell which glanced and instantly
.llled Gen. Polk, is still standing,
md nearly every one present took

At the Bethel House, Players Leave
Hats, Coats, Chips, Cards
and Money Behind.

1.-The best laid plans of mice and
men, are sometimes frustrated. The
truth of which was exemplIfied at the
Bethel House early Sunday morning
By wireless telegraphy, or some
other means, City Marshal Latta, whose
terror to pasteboard manipulators and
all other transgressOrs of the law is
proverbial, got ''o1to" game of
poker in room number 81, on the third
floor of the Bethel House. And when
Johnny Slick gets onto a game
it is his custom to use his best efforts
to get lat it. /" A little habit, blythe
way, which he fell into some years
ago. So. accompanied by Officers
Hooten, Stages Scott and Cabler, -
while the Sabbath Day was only an
hour old, and the earth was wrapped in
quietude and darkness--they attempt
ed to make their way to "57. But a
negro sentinel, stationed where he
could note the approach of any IN
truder, saw the enemy coming and
then there was confusion in the camp.
Seven men were engaged in the game,
but all except one succeeded in getting
away. This individual, with his hat,
coat. top shirt and cuffs off, was in
tersected at the foot of the pack stair
way, and carried back to the room.
where he was invested with his miss
ing apparel and released on his recog-
nizance. Coats and hats which the
other players left in their haste, were
found scattered about the room, and
141 chips, five decks of cards and So
in money were seized.
The officers are trying to establish
the identity of the other players, and
the Herald will not report names I'M
til the cases get before the Court.

Old Rate Restored.

The Columbia Ice Company, which
raised he price of frozen water to
retail dealers from 30 cents to 30 cents
per hundred, several days ago, has
restored the old rate. The reduction
is said to have been brought abou
from several reasons, chief of which is
that the retail dealer could not pay
the higher rate and still holu the old
prices to The consumer. There was
some talk, too, of bringing ice here
from Nashville in car load lots, ana
this doubtless had its weight.
