Wood Completing Preparations.

his return to the United States. It's guns
will fire salute in honor of the Gu
ban flag when II appears over the pal
ace, and again fire a salute upon leaving
the harbor.
IL is the desire OF officials I'm WASH
ington 10 have the inauguration ceremo-
nies OF such a character as TO impress
the Cubans with the full significance of
this event. 1t is the wish, at the same
time, that IL be on the whole as much
OF a Cuban affair as possible.
President-elect Palma's wishes in the
matter will be fully consulted, just as
are the wishes OF an incoming president
of the United States. The ceremonies
will be in accord with his desires.
Prior TO the inauguration OF the new
government General Wood will arrange
for the transfer of the fnances. The
books will be checked up and every
thing will be in such shape that the
transfer on the 10th will be a mere mat
ter OF form.
The method OF transferring the gov
erment of Cuba 10 the Cubans will be
simple. General Wood will provide for the
inauguration of Mr.. Palma AT the APP
pointed hour Mr.. Palma will be inducted
into Office. From that moment General
Woods authority will cease and Presi-
dent Palma will assume full control and
be held responsible for the conduct of
affairs in the island.
The ceremonies attending the transfer
will be as elaborate or as simple as Mr..
Palma and General Wood may decide. In
asmuch as this is the first inauguration
of president of the Cuban republic. SEN
timent favors a program beneiitting the
occasion.
The withdrawal OF troops and the
evacuation OF the island by the Ameri-
cans are provided for In orders issued
from the war department The island Is

With the exception OF few artillerymen
just sufficient TO man the coast defences,
that the island may be protected against
external attack--the military forces main
tanec under General Wood are TO leave
the moment Mr. Palma and HIS assistants
assume control OF affairs.

must serve a sentence equivalent 10 $50

little doubt, however, that he will get
his freedom as soon as he is able 10 trav-

Bergman came TO America about year
ago. He could speak English fiuently and
thought he would have no trouble in maxi

while and then obtained employment In
a baking powder house in Cleveland.
The salary was very small and he gave
up the work and came to Cincinnati.
Here he was charged with telegraphing
over another mans signature for money
The charge was not pressed, but Bergman
was held on the charge of lettering and
fined $50.
In the police court Bergman was sent
TO the workhouse upon his inability 10 pay
the fine and the costs He was put through
the processes that greet the Introduction

hair was clipped close, and he was attired
in the regulation striped suit. He was
then put TO work in the brush shop. HIS
delicate hands were not accustomed 10

Shortly after his arrival at the work

! Before this, however. he wrote 10 his
| father that he was sick in a hospital In
| Cincinnati and that he wanted TO return

INSTRUCTION BY pHoNoCRApH
CorreepomAemee Schools New U@@ 10 60
Teach varaoas Language to
gtmaensa.

Correspondence schools which un-
dertake TO teach languages by mail
have found a useful adjunct in their
system in the phonograph. In ad-
dition to the usual instruction pa pei r.,
which give the student reading
knowledge of language, a speaking
knowledge may be gained by the ex-
change of record cylinders between
instructor and pupil. II is claimed
that by this means the student may
acquire perfect pronunciation. since
he can repeat. the phonograph lesson
as often as he finds necessary, and
thus impress upon his memory every
detail of pronunciation and infiec-
ticn.
IL the student can avoid acquiring
the Punch and Judy tone of the pho
nograph, says the New York Times,
there would seem to be no reason
why this method should not be an
extremely good one. One can imag-
inc that the temptation to initiate its
peculiar squeak. especially in French,
would be almost Irresistible. The
idea constitutes one of the most prac-
tical uses yet made Of the phono-
graph

TALK OF MILITARY CIRCLES

Lord Brassey says the British navy
in men and ships excels any other two
nations,
The soldiers of the United States
army, who receive $l3 month, are best
paid in the world, Those of the British
army, who receive shilling a day, are
next.
The pay of the officers of the Ger
man army is very small. and no one can
obtain commission unless he has a
sufficient private fortune to yield him
an income of at least 500 marks ($125)
a year.
There has been an extraordinary

Better Done I'm Germany.

"The whole cab-service of Germany
is regulated in way to make the
American envious of German institu-
tions," writes Ray Stannard Baker, in
."Seen in Germany" In most cities q
large proportion of the cabs are pro-
vided with "taxameters"~~ dials
placed in front of the seat and so ar
ranged that they indicate just how
much the passenger owes at any
given time. For instance, when you
take a cab in Berlin the indicat or
shows charge of so pfennigs 02
cents) as soon as you take your seat,
and as you drive the figures change.
40 pfennigs at time. and when you
are ready to stop YOU pay the sum in
dicated by the dial, no more, no less.
Thus there is no chance for extortion
on the part of the cahman, and no
disagreement as to charges, feature
of disagreeable prominence in London
and Paris. And it may be said IN
passing that the charges are general
ly very low compared with those in
American cities.

"A few years ago cottonseed was q
waste product, and the only use made
of IL was to compost ii and, when rot
ted, use IL as a fertilizer. Its indus
trial utilization began with the extrac-
tion of the oil il contains. and il has
now become the raw material Of so
many important Industries that last
spring, when it became necessary to
replant considerable areas OF cotton
land which had been flooded by the
exceptional spring freshets, it was
found that the cleaning up had been
so complete by the buyer Of the cot
ton-oil mills that enough seed for be-
tween-seasons planting was collected
with difficulty.
Hitherto the hull Of the cottonseed
has had no value, but this is now TO
be utilized in admixture with fax fiber

ganized for this purpose has bought
