Ne" 1ork, Mch. Everywhere fin Cuoa one notes a pronounced dr.w ns toward this country and feryent nope that America viii absorb tha ne" nation" said Dr. John I RIack prominent democratic leader in DaI aware, who is at the Fifth Avenua notel today, having returned last evar. Ing rom tour of Cuba.
 Of course, in Cuba. as in DaIaw.ro lhlngs are much mixed There are inc nationals or radicals and the repubIi. cans and it may suit party leaders to take one position or another on the question of relations of the island republic to this country, but get tba people away from the party lash as you do in personal conversation with them, and they reveal their hope and thelr ambition to become and integral part of America.
 Whether or not this would be good TOT America l am not prepared to say But It would certainly be a blessing to Cuba

 was interested to note that many or the large employers had adopted the policy of Hale, the American peach King, to keep their employees tongues qulet and their fingers busy. Hale. you know, had bands in his canning factories to play while his people worked. In Cuba they have readers, and It IS a remarkable sight to see 300 men and women making cigars rapidly and deftly while they hang almost breathless on the words of an elocu- tlonlst who mounted on a platform, read Spanish romances with dramatic gestures and expressions.
 Il was told in Havana of an incl dent illustrating the heat of political controversy among these volatile peo- p!e. as well as the dignity which they attach to public offices.
 "A memeber of the Cuban congress was engaged in political discussion by newspaper man and incidentally | shot the scribe. killing him instantly. The Cuban congressman were greatly pertrubed, not at the fatality, but at their fellow member being put to the annoyance of darwing his gun. and the matter was seriously debated entirely along this line.
 The outcome, I am told. was a res. olution censuring the dead editor for provoking the pistol practice of the member of congress in wanton dis regard for the dignity of his office"

KNIGHTS OF MALTA.
Some of the Early History of This
 Famous Order.

Some of the Early History of This
 Famous Order.
 The Knights of Malta have history that reaches back to 104S and is one that is worth reading.
 The order of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, otherwise called the AKnights of Rhodes and afterward Malta, a celebrated military order of the middle ages, originated about 104S in hospital dedicated to St. John the Baptist which some merchants built at Jerusalem for the care and cure of pilgrims to the holy sepulcher.
 After the conquest of Jerusalem by the crusaders under Godfrey Bouillon in 1899 the hospital servants were joined by many from the Christian ar my, who resolved to devote their services to the care of the poor and sick pilgrims.
 They were known as the Knights of St. John through the various crusades to the time when the order took q strong hold in Scotland. The order spread rapidly throughout Scotland. where it is at the present day recog- nized as the Knights of Malta.
 The Knights of Malta were driven from Jerusalem. Acre, from the isle of Rhodes and finally found refuge on the island of Melita or Malta. Malta ism was introduced into America in 1870. the supreme grand commandery being chartered in 1889.

Theatrical Hard Times.

IT is a significant indication OF the
present condition of hard times in the
theatrical world that in New York
alone 5000 actors are without employ
ment, and that 500 companies have dis
banded for the season. An interesting
article by w. w. Harrison on this un-
usual situation is published in the cur
rent Harper's Weekly. 1t seems that
art and rubbish have suffered together;
neither Shakespeare. with one Of our
most popular actors in the cast, nor
the kind of farces and musical come
dies which have usually appealed to the
public have met with success. 1t is
said that the receipts for one night s.
performance of "A Midsummer Night a
Dream, with Nat Goodwin as Bottom,
ran as low as 500. The fact is" con-
cludes Mr.. Harrison, that people are
not in a theater mood, and that the
plays which are called triumphs This
year are playing to only small houses.
Nowadays to pay expenses is a mattSE
of congratulatiOn."

II Pnssled Child.

1t was the morning after Christmas.
The children of a prominent merchant
who resides in the Western Addition
were sitting about the large open fire
place around which the night before,
hopeful and expectant, they had hung
their'stockings The stockings were now
on the floor, while strewed all about
the room was ample evidence that
Santa Claus had not overlooked the
little ones.
The youngest one of the four children,
a little girl, barely two years of age, sat
a little apart from her brothers and
sisters. Her lap was full of toys and
the pretty little things that go far to
make glad the heart of a child. But
she did not seem to be as joyful as the
others. Her little brow was puckered
and she seemed to be in deep thought
Finally her father noticed her lack OF
cheerfulness and picked her up in his
arms. Whats the matter with my
little pet?" he asked her. Aren't you
satisfied with what Sanity brought
you?"
Yes. papa" the little one replied. I
was lest wondering why we don't wear
stockin' on our handses.

AN AGGRESSIVE ALASKA.

The report is, in fact, good boom document for the
district, while the time it conforms strictly
enough the common form of official reports.
All along the line Governor Brady Govern
negectine in Alaska interests which the Canadians
promptly and literally fostering in their Yukon

stringly shown the of providing transpora-

side is doing much provide railways in portion

be able to any showing all oset the big
terprises which Canada has under way to bring the
whole Yukon into close relation with the of the
Dominion.
Another notable point Of difference between American
neglect and Canadian is pointed by the Gov
in reviewing the outlook for mining. He says:
eff stranger into the country seeking nforma-
ton he be directed to any Government office
where he obtain and reliable information

stop at Victoria. British Columbia, and make the
kind of inquiry he would be directed to office of the
of Mines where he could every important

The Governor himself does not undertake to give
complete review of the mining industry of the district
but contents himself with saying From the length and
breadth of the land, from Ketchican through Cold
foot beyond the Arctic circle and down Nome,
encouraging reports. Capital coming from various
States and we hear of Georgia, Minnesota, Indiana
Tennessee Pennsylvania and Ohio company. 1t is not
possible any longer to give adequate and true de-
scription of development of this industry in the Gov

Taken a whole the official statements with the ac-

rapidly increasing wealth of the district 1t is

Joaquin Miller died tonight at Oak

newsy bulletin flashed into the San
Francisco newspaper offices one night
not long ago. There was hustle and
rush from telegraph editors to the news
editors. thence to the city editors. The
city editors promptly called on their re-
spective 'cross-bay correspondents.
Along about midnight a procession Of
reporters headed for The Heights in
the Fruitvale foothills, where the verse
writer makes his domicile. The news
paper men were out to verify the story.
which was a big one from the news
paper point of view. About 1:3O o'clock
a. m. the crowd arrived at Joaquin's
picturesque habitat. Knocks at the
door. No response. More knocks, and
then a gruff:
Who's there?"
Newspaper men. It's reported that
Joaquin Miller is dead" was the reply.
Dead" came a husky exclamation.
quickly followed by command: Come
in."
1t was from the shaggy Californian
himself. Wrapped in his bear robes
and lying prone upon his cot. the poet
was seen by the flicker of a candle
flame. Joaquin almost shouted:
Dead! Who said / was dead? I'm
not dead, and l want you to go back
as quickly as you came and say so.
Good night
That was all. But the bulletin had
been wired throughout the Eastern
States and it was too late that night to
correct it there. When the mails brought
many of the cross mountain journals to
the coast the poet had the unusual ex-
perience of reading some very enter

the cultivation of the apple on large scale.
Now the Monterey New Era, after investigation
of the apple producing capacity of Santa Cruz. and
Monterey counties, announces that Carmel Valley is
the ideal place for the growth of apples OF course
there localities that will challenge the claim of
the New Era that Carmel Valley is superior to all

The New Era describes Carmel Valley, where of
the most picturesque of the early missions still stands
and that the entire valley will be planted apples

Cheap Turkeys.

With a warning ''shsh" he walked
over to the corner of the operating
room at the Central Emergency Hos
pital on Christmas day. He stood for
moment, and then with head thrown
backward and arms stretched above
his head, he leaped into the air. He
came down on all fours, rose to his
feet and then with arms raised
again and his head bent backward to
an amazing degree. he ran to the other
corner of the room and again jumped
ceiling-ward. Again he fell, and then
once more, in a different corner he re-
peated the jump.

said to- the steward and the doctor as
he regained his feet, ito keep these tur-
keys here when you can get forty cents

for these three?"

steward. Come in here and I'll wrap
them up for you" he continued, leading
