General Wood.

President Roosevelt has a good opin-
ion OF his old commander, formerly Col.
Wood of the "Rough Riders" and is not
afraid to speak out in unmistaksble lam
guage in his favor. In his speech at
Harvard College, ne gave warm praise
not only to Gen. Wood but also to Sec
cretary Root and Gov. Taft.
Following is the report of his remarks
about Gen. Wood.
Leonard Wood four years ago went
down to Cuba, has served there ever
since, has rendered services to that
country of the kind which, IL performed
three thousand years ago, would have
made him hero mixed up with the sur

his whole life to those four years, and
who thought of nothing else, did moth

all men on their merits as men. He did
all that. He is a man of slender means.
He did it on his pay as an army officer
and as Governor of the island. Sixty
millions of dollars passed through his
hands, and he cam out, having had to
draw on his slender capital in order that
he might come out even when he left
the island. Credit to him? Yes, In q

Democratic Harmony.

Whoever among the faithful in the

advice, Henry Waterson of Kentucky is
not one Of them.

clares that his opposition to Mr.. Cleve-

he has made, namely, that Mr.. Cleveland
is an ill-tempered, self-willed man, hav-

the moral and intellectual inspiration for
Democratic fellowship and leadership
that he knows little and cares less about
tariff reform that such sympathies as he
has are not on the side of the plain, com.

and poor, but on the side of the strong.

sonally an migrate and glutton; that,
because OF his selfishness and brutishness
he alicnated every Democrat OF conse.

him blindly; that, In short, he found the
party noble unit and left 1t a wreck.
"Where he is best known he is most
detested," says Mr.. Watterson, despite
the perpetual wearing of the self made
halo. The Republicans may have him.
The Democrats will none OF him. They
know that when he comes In at the door
harmony flies out of the window. Hence
with Democracy, the word should be

Zionist movement, has laid before the
Sultan a scheme for the colonization
of parts of Southern, Palestine, and his
plan is backed up, by the Kaiser. DIR.
Herzl offered fair payments in return
for definite security of tenure, with
internal governing rights over great

International securities for the carry

international congress of Jews will be
called shortly to support the plans
made by the leader. The first step
taken by the Jews probably will be
the rebuilding Of the harbor of Jaffa,
and then large irrigation schemes will
be undertaken. This work will be done

OF the state federation are modelled
after those of the national organiza-
tiOn from which charter has been
secured. Under the provisions of the
constitution the newly organized
state federation will meet annually.
The first state convention will be
held in st. Paul next month, the day
not yet having been decided.
The State Federation of Afro-Amer-
lean WOmens' Clubs is formed for the
purpose of uniting the various local
clubs into closer union, so that the
societies may keep in touch with each
other. 1t is also believed that with
a central organization the work done
by the Individual clubs will be more
systematic and perhaps productive of
better results.
The national federation meets bi-

WASP STINGS ARE FATAL.

People Have Been Known to Die from,
the Insects Assault.
- In an article on the stings of wasps
British medical journal cites the two
following cases which have come under
its notice: A strong, healthy girl of
II was stung on the neck by wasp
and tainted. On regaining conscious
ness she complained of general feel
ing of numbness and partial blindness
and vomited;' she suffered severe alb
dominal pain. She recovered in the
course of few hours: Two months
later she was stung again, this time on
the hand. Her face became flushed,
she again complained of numbness and
blindness, suddenly became very pale,
tainted and died twenty-five minutes
after she was stung. Another case was
that Of a girl Of % years who was
stung by wasp behind the, angle of
the jaw: The sting was at once ex-
tracted and ammonia applied. In a
few minutes she complained of faint
ness and would have fallen if she had
not been supported. He face assumed
oil SApieSSlOu OI great anxiety ana y a
few minutes later she was tossing on
the bed, complaining of horrible feel
ing of choking and Of agonizing pain
in the chest and abdomen: Brandy
gave no relief: There was nausea, but
no vomiting. She rapidly became in
sensible and died fifteen minutes after
receiving the sting. The most prob
able explanation Of such cases seems
to lie in what is known as idiosyncrasy
that is, abnormal sensitiveness in
particular individuals to certain toxic
agents. It is we'll known that drugs
vary much in action on different peo-
Pile. What is a safe dose for. one is dan
gerously large for another. The inabil-
ity O. some people to eat strawberries
or shellfish is another instance of the
same phenomena. The active agent Of
bee stings is generally believed to be
formic acid. It, therefore; seems very
desirable that we should have more ac-

ton of this drug on different species
