The thoughtless uncleanliness Of de.

Take the matter Of underwear.
That's right in line with the cold cure
we are discussing. Nine persons ous
of ten wear soiled underwear next the

keep many, save plutocrats, from
changing every day which is the Ideal
course, but at least underwear may

I advise keeping two suits going at
once. Wear n suit one day. Put It
where 1t will be well ventilated in
fresh air the next day and done a Sec
ond suit Alternate the two suits un-
til both are soiled. Then have new
deal. The rule will be worth money
to you-but be sure to hang the suit
you are not wearing out In the fresh
air. Don't tuck 1t away In a dark
closet.
"While we are talking about under
wear, woel is unquestionably more con-
ductive to warmth than anything one
can wear, but there is absolutely no
sense in wearing flannels as thick as
board. If all wool irritates the skin
too much lightweight silk and wool
mixture is quite as good. In case a
person simply will not wear any wool
silk is the next best; but most Of the
physicians will, think, agree with
me that silk and wool is an excellent
underwear mixture. Cotton and linen
are good conductors Of heat. They
take the animal heat which the body
produces by great effort and carry II
away from the body as fast as II is
pumped up. Wool, being a poor con.
ductor, allows the body to preserve its
warmth for its own purposes.

WAYNE MACvEAGH's STATEMENT.


PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.-The Public
Ledger tomorrow will publish a statement
by Wayne MacVeagh covering the efforts
that have been made to bring about an
amicable adjustment of the dispute be-
tween the anthracite coal companies and
their mine workers. Mr.. MacVeagh says:
THE parties both sides were contest
ing every inch of ground when the great
railway corporations volunteered an adj
vance of 10 per cent. of the wages of their
employees. AS soon as such an advance
was announced 1t seemed to be taken for
granted that, notwithstanding the advance
made two years ago. a like increase would
now be granted the miners, and the ques-
ton of wages being out of the way, there
was a general feeling in favor of trying to
adjust the other differences.
while / was still cross-examining Mr..
Mitchell / was asked to meet him and his
counsel in conference TO make an effort
to reach some adjustment of an amicable
nature. We discussed the matters in dis
pute on different occasions, and at great
length, and at last, by the invaluable assist
ance of +. b. Thomas, the president of
the two companies L represent, the basis,
as he thought, of a possible adjustment
was reached and when 1t was submitted to
the other gentlemen, who, with Mr.. Thorn
as, had signed the letter requesting the
appointment of the commission, they all
concurred with Mr.. Thomas in approving
1t as basis of negotiations.

Interview with Gen. Vargas Santos,
Director of the Rebel Army

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Nov 23-Gen.
Vargas Santos, the military director of
the Colombian revolution has sent the fol-
lowing message to General Herrera on the
occasion of the signature of the treaty of
peace at Panama: Let us congratulate
ourselves. / have full confidence in you.
May this solemn act establish a true re-
public"
In an interview General Santos said: my
hopes have been realized regarding the
treaties insure the rights of the Liberals
as citizens of my country, am satisfied
that the hard lesson that has been re-
ceived by the Liberals and the Conserva-
tives in the hgnting of the past thirty
are not seeking government Offices but
only want the due representation OF our
party in Congress and in the municipalities
and respect for private property. There
is a need OF organizing fair judicial DOW
er and to make the liberty of the press
effective. We want to have the right TO
educate our children according to our
wishes and we demand honesty in the
management of the public treasury, which
so far has been at the disposal of priv
ileged families, resulting in the reducing
OF the majority of the people to poverty

BRITISH AND BOERS.


Boston Herald.
We alluded yesterday to the very chilly
reception, from a financial point of view,
that had been given to the Boer leaders
on their begging tour in Europe We con-
trasted the British government gift that
General Delarey has classed as "a mere
beggar's pittance" with what the Beers had
been able to raise since the close of the
war i'm the countries of Europe. corre-
spondent has called us to task for the
figures we used of the British grant say
ing that the real amount was more than
double what we had credited to the British
government Our correspondent should re-
member however, that we were not giving
our own figures, but were quoting the Boer
general who was alluding, doubtless, to
the original grant of 100000 made under
Section 10 of the treaty of peace between
the Beers and the English All told the
Transvaal gift and loan are to amount TO

questions they had asked 1t his own

British people, that he should visit South

be the case If the opposition obliged him
to commit himself for or against certain
principles before he left England.
He was willing. however, TO point out
what mad already been accomplished. At
the close of the war there were Zoe. 900 men

been reduced to $4,000. The officials had,
therefore. been able to repatriate no fewer
than 10000 persons WHO in June had been
held for one reason or another in the con-
centratiOn camps Nor was this all that
had been accomplished. At the end of the
war there were something like 1900 pris-
oners. and OF this number more than 10000
had been returned and efforts were being
made 10 bring the rest hack speedily as
possible. Mr.. Chamberlain then touched on
the Boer generals claim that the British
grant should have been 275.000000 instead
OF fS,c0,000. He laid down the broad gen.
