Loan to Cuba.
To The Editor OF The Evening Star:

10 The Editor OF Inc Evening star:
Transactions to the effect of getting the
money to be paid to the Cuban army are to
be definitely carried out. The payment to
the army will be an act of Justice out of
discussion. because If the service Of a SOL
der enlisted forcibly or by his own will is
paid for. with more reason should our re-
public pay for the services Of those who,
destitute Of resources Of all kinds, went of
their own accord to the fields of battle to
put down a military government and sub
Stitute it by another admins tration that
would bring us liberty and equality. HaV-
ing succeeded in their detectives, their
good and patriotic labor must be rewarded,
and to the reward our gratitude should be
annexed
The difficulty now consists in the attain
ment of that money. The government Of
the United States during its military inter-
vention in Cuba managed her custom house
incomes, and perfectly knows that these
are enough to stand as a sufficient guaran-
tee for loan of. for instance, $40. 1000 600,
which Is the amount that we will probably
need. But the United States government
would unpleasantly see the coming of that
money from Europe, and would oppose it
by means of the Platt amendment. That
money is strongly wanted in Cuba, not only
to perform an act Of strict Justice, but also
for the welfare that would befall Cuba with
the circulation and investment of such an
important amount of money; and as the
United States government will not allow
the European bankers to realize the loan,
this should be carried out by the American
bankers with the United States govern
ments approval.
1t would not take Cuba a very long time
to liauidate the loan and its interest If
the Cuban government consigns 100000
in our budget every year to attend to the
payment of capital and interest, the liqui-
dalton Of the loan would only require TWEEN
ty-three years. as may be seen in the fol-
lowing figures:

RAINS KILL HAY FEVER.
Heavy Storms This Year Have De.
creased Prevalence of Disease.
i

From the Galesburg (Ill) Evening Mail.
Unless a sudden drought descends on
this region there will be no hegira of hay
fever sufferers from Illinois this summer
The continued wet weather, which has been
an annoyance to many people, will turn out
q benefactor to hosts of others, according
to the opinion Of physicians, who predict
that the heavy rains will act as an eff
fectual preventive of the annual hay fever
attacks. With the season for red and swol-
len noses and streaming eyes only two weeks
away, only few cases of the ailment have
so far developed and none of them Is of a
malignant type.
This condition Of affairs will have It's
effect on hotel keepers at the northern lake
resorts. Every August thousands of In
fortunate victims of hay fever seek relief
In tho woods, where they can find company
Tor their misery, and escape the comments
on their personal appearance which heart
less immunes take every opportunity to
make Several hundreds of the victims
who throng the small lake and beach resorts
OF upper Michigan each year go from Chi
cago- Most OF the others make the journey
northward by way of this port and the
steamship companies reap a rich harvest
all during August from the increased amount
OF travel, for many of the best places of
refuge are inaccessible save by boat
Heavy beating transforms drive the pollen
into the ground, where IT Is held by the
moist earth. The few cases which will de-
yelop this year under present conditions will
be confined to those caused by other agen-
cies than flower pollen. Local nasal de-
formlties and asthmatic tendencies will
bring on the dread affiiction to many peo-
pie. but the majority of the annual victims
are destined to escape unless It stops rain

Mysophobia.
rom the London Graphic.

From the London Graphic.
The medical profession has conferred no
small boon on many sufferers by inventinG
Greek, or pseudo-Greek, term for their
otherwise democratic complaints. The last
of these Inventions is recorded this week
The disease is business, and the medical
name Is mysophobia. The mysophobe is he
who, when seated by his table, lifts his
glass to see ii It is fingered and IL he de-
tect smudge uses his napkin to dispose
of 1t. In short, nlysophobia Is the exagger-
alton of that respect for cleanliness which
convinced Svengali Of the madness of Eng
lishmen when he surprised the Laird in his
matutinal tub. The lady In the play who
seized on every ones watchchain and be-
gan rubbing 1t with channels leather was a
mysophobe, and the. irritating man who
begs your pardon and picks some micro
scopic piece of fun from your sleeve Is
another. The servant though most would
benefit by incubation with the disease,
who insists on busting papers 10 another.
apd the disease is widely prevalent among
al housekeepers in the spring. 1t Is nice
to know at last just what to call II, but the
medical press Is more inclined to suggest
scientific names than remedies

Safety Dress for Electricians.

From Engineering.
Experiments have been made with Prof
Artemieff's safety dress, in the high-tension
laboratory of Messrs Semens and Halska
This dress is constructed entirely of fine
but thickly woven wire gauze. 1t complete
ly incloses the wearer, inclusive of hands
feet and head. It's total weight is 3.3
pounds, its resistance from hand to hand,
OO17 ohms, and it's capacity varies from
OOO2 up to .OOO25 micfofarads, according as
the wearer is far away from or near to a
wall. The cooling surface is SO great that
a current of 200 amperes can pass through
the dress for some seconds from hand to
hand without perceptibfe heating effect.
Standing uninsulated, on the ground, and
clad with this dress, Prot, Artemieff drew
sparks from the secondary terminals Of
transformer which was giving tension Of
70, 600 volts, the period being 80 cycles per
second. He next seized the main, and later
on, the potential being raised to 10000
volts, he drew sparks from both terminals,
and handled the latter. The machine sup
plying this transformer was Of 170-kilowatt
capacity. In concluding the experiments
the inventor short-circuited this generator
by clutching hold of the terminals, the po-
tential difference between the two being
/. coo volts, and the current passed 200 am
peres The circuit was broken by simply
letting go of one electrode. Throughout
these experiments Prof. Artemieff declared
he felt not the slightest sensation of any
current through his body.

MOUTH FULL OF MONEY.
Armless Beggar's Queer Coin hecep'

From the Bunalo Express
An armless beggar who said he was Jesse
Ferry failed to heed the advice OF Nam
street policemen when they told. him to
move along yesterday afternoon, SO he was
locked up at police station No 1, charged
with yagrancy. Ferry says ne came 10
Ruffalo from Cleveland yesterday morning.
At all events he camped on the sidewalk IN
front Of one of the department stores bright
and early. Ferry has no arms. He doesn t
need any in his business, 1t seems, for he
uses his mouth as a coin catcher. The men
of the Main street squad are generally leni-
emit with beggars. giving them one or more
chances to get OF the street. Ferry was no
exception.
Nearly every one Of the first precinets
Main street men told him to move along.
He did change his position about half q
dozen times, and for few hours he left
the street About 4:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon a woman approached Patroiman
Williamson at Main and Seneca streets.
There's a poor, armless man DOWN
there" she said, pointing in the direction
of Exchange street. ''But he's very foolish,
and I'm sure he'll have all kinds of terrible
diseases. Just think! He catches all those
dirty coins in his mouth, and he leaves
them there, too"
Williamson recognized in Ferry the same
armless beggar he had warned to leave
Main street earlier in the day. He took
him to the station house, and on the way
noticed that his prisoner had nothing what
ever to say The desk sergeant asked
berry his name. but got no reply
Maybe he's dumb as well as armless, :

Veteran Actors.
Prom the London Chronicle.

Another veteran actor, whose name
comes to mind now that the death of Mr..
James Doel has drawn attention toward
the 'old stagers," Is Joseph Jefferson, who
still enjoys life in his native America. and
Is we'll on toward his eighties. Jefferson
and "Dundreary'' Sothern toured the Aus
tralian colonies in the early days Of the
gold fields half a century ago, and had
some strange adventures, producing their
plays In rough tents on the diggirgs. and
sometimes In the open air. Another old
actor who Is now nearly eighty and Is still
TO be seen about town Is Mr.. Clarence
Holt. who played with Jefferson in MeI-
bourne fifty years ago. In the beginning of
1852, when Ballarat was hardly a year old
Mr.. Holt had no less than three thea ters
running there and he was engaged in the
atrical enterprises all over the Australian
colonies for long period before returning
to London.

Napoleon's Magic Table.

From the Strand Magazine.
Napoleon's magic table is one of the
greatest curiosities from the time of the
grand emperor. who had it in his study at
the Castle of st. Cloud After the death of
Napoleon it was bought in London by
Baron Rehausen. Swedish ambassador to
the court of st. James at that time. 1t is
now owned through inheritance by one Of
the foremost families of the Swedish no.
bility Inside the drawer of the table Is
pasted an old slip on which is printed a
description, which in modernized English
reads as follows: 1.-The Emperor Napoleon

one of the tables In his study, and was al

said the sergeant to Williamson. Search
him and lock him up"
The officer did as he was ordered. He
pulled out several handfuls of pennies and
nickels and heaped them on the desk.
Ferry submitted to the search, and when
his property was all out before him he
spoke. This is what he said. In a muffled.
gurgling kind of a voice:
You amt got 'em all yet"
Then he opened wide his mouth, leaned
slightly so that his head was above the
desk, and out rolled about thirty pennies.
The desk sergeant gasped and Williams On
made a frantic effort to keep the coins from
rolling on the floor.
II kin carry twice as many as that
there" said Ferry, as he was led back to
the cell room.
A count of the pennies showed he had
nearly Sc in his possession when arrested.
The police say he probably got all that
money yesterday from kind-hearted people.
