This gives total Of 7O5 nearly One-half Of the
total number, which be considered unobjecton-
able from the smoke inspectors standpoint Sys-
tematic observations Of the various chmneys show
that of the 1000 mentioned more than 300 to-
day throwing out, on the average more than the
maximum Of 10 per cent.
Careful tests made by experts in the employ of
large manufacturing firms In Cleveland have shown
saving of from 10 to % per cent by the use Of
smokeless furnaces compared with ordinary firing
on flat CRATES. In instance related by Professor
Benjamin the installation of automatic draft regula-
tors inducing perfect combustion by the abundant
supply of oxygen Immediately after firing has more
than paid for the whole expense of the installation
in year. shown by the actual coal bills
This saving is traced to two causes: First, the
uniform supply of coal combined with a uniform
supply of air, giving practically perfect conbus
ton at all times and preventing the escape of
bonic oxide to the chimney and second to the fact
that the absence of the heating surfaces of
the boiler gives higher rate of evaporation and cor
responding better efficiency. Indeed, number of
Cleveland manufacturers claim that it more than
pays to be good
St Louis has discussed the advisability of COM
pellng railroad engines to smoke-consuming de-
vices Probably one Of the best smoke preventves
has been found by certain Western and Southern
roads which have proved concusively that firing
with one two shovels of coal at short intervals
and leaving the door ajar an inch after firing
would almost eliminate the smoke.
Great improvements have been effected by the Co
operation of the railroads entering Cleveland.
There have been few notifications of the engine
furnaces during that time that improved methods
of firing held responsible for the better condi-
tons. ST. Louis well look it's stationary and
engine fremen in relieving its own present disagree
able situation.

CUBA AND OUR NATIONAL HONOR

Mr.. Cleveland's letter. urging American perform
ance of plain duty to Cuba in the matter of the tariff
concessions necessary for Cuban welfare an utter
ance which cannot but be approved by every self
respecting American Jealous for the honor of his ma
tive land
The present humiliating situation in the National
Congress is bluntly stated by Mr.. Cleveland. Every
consideration Of Justice Of morality and conscience
of a regard for our solemn pledge, demand that we
deal fairly and honestly with Cuba. The influences
prevailing to prevent this righful action are as evil
as they powerful. They urge to infct ghast-
" wrong upon helpless little people who look to us
for help Their motives sordid to degree.
The American Congress which refuses to deal justly
and humaney with Cuba will be guilty of shameful
deed. The shame of It, unhappiy, will rest upon the
American people. We will stand before the world as
stultifed Government whose pledged word is not
binding, whose honor is lightly held, whose integrity
not equal to the task of holding steadfast the
certain American interests by doing wrong. Cuba
depends utterly upon us for her wellbeing We have
promised that she shall suffer through faith in
professions National disgrace attends upon VIOLA
ton Of this promise.
The duty of the Fifty-seventh Congress is to so
reduce the tariff Cuban products that the Cuban
people, forbidden to elsewhere for succor shall
be able to deal with this country to just advantage
The Congress plainly perceives this duty, but is
plainly yielding to the malign influences which de-
mand the duty's nonperformance American public
sentiment should be potently exerted that fair play
for Cuba shall be assured. The nations honor is at
stake.

charity workers which cannot but commend that en-

great field.
The Provident Association is itself organized on
the most practical lines. For many years this as
socaon has been potent factor in the relief of the
destitute in this city. The system under which the
Providents work is done is the outgrowth of long
experience.
Assisting the deserving poor without at the same
time encouraging professional mendicancy is prob

the officials and workers of this organization Also
