other forms Of the disease, even more

Col. William II. Hall, Acting Adm.
tant General, In High Favor
with Government.

Since the formation Of the general
staff of the army it has brought into
prominence an officer who has for IS
years been in active service In the army.
COL. Hall was appointed to West Point
in 1864 from Randolph county. MO-.
graduating in 1868. During the first %
years of his service he was stationed at
every military post west Of the Missis-
sippi river, being promoted from time
to time until he rose to the rank of col
onel.
In 1890 he married Miss Terese Black
burn, daughter of Senator Blackburn, Of
Kentucky. About 1891 he was ordered
to Washington, D. c., and made assistant
adjutant general, then adjutant general
of Porto Rico, assistant adjutant general

A WHITE MANS LAND.
ONLY Spot in Central Africa Where
Caucasians Thrive.
Fertile Plateau Under the Equator,
Discovered by Thomson-Euro-
pean Children Do ~ Well e..
There a. ut Home.

Between Mount Kenia, the great
snow mountain Of equatorial Africa,
and Victoria Nyanza is a plateau or
series Of plateaus, as large as New
York state. Every white man who has
ever been there, from Joseph Thomson,
who discovered it, to the latest travel
er, declares that it is perfectly fitted
to be ,colonized by many thousands of
the white race.
The New York Sun says that it Is
directly under the equatT; and be-
cause it is the only region in equatorial
Africa that offers field for settlement
by north Europeans, it is worth while
to show it's exact position on this little
map. The area in black on the map Is
the plateau.
It was judicious to be skeptical about
tho fitness of any part of equatorial
Africa for white colonists; but the
unanimity of testimony concerning this
plateau seems to have settled the Ques-
ton in it's favor.
The latest testimony comes from c.
Eliot, British commissioner in the East
African protectorate, who has lived
long in that region. He says the sur
face of the plateau resembles the downs
of England.
Here and there large forests Of fine
timber are scattered among the wide
expenses of grazing and tillable fields.

Howard Elliott, who has been second
vice president of the Burlington system
since May l. 1902, recently was elected
president Of the Northern Pacific rail-
way, in place of c. S. Mellen, who will
become president of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad. Before the
practical merger of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railway Official
and personal animosities developed be-
tween James J. Hill and Mr.. Mellen, and
the only wonder in railway circles is that
Mellen has remained president of the
Northern Pacific so long after Hill be-
came the dominant power. Just %
years ago Howard Elliott entered the
railway service as chairman in an en-
cheering corps of the Burlington road.

LAWYER AND AUTHOR
New British Ambassador Considered
a Versatile Genius.
Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, Now ut
Spanish Court, VIII Arrive In
Warrington Within .
Short Time.

Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, the Brit
is ambassador in Madrid has been ap-
pointed British ambassador to the Unit
ed States, to succeed the late Sir Michael
Herbert.
The selection of Sir Henry was sur
prise to most people, chiefly because he
has never had any official connection
with Washington. 1t is learned that Sir
Henry has frequently expressed great
liking for Americans and desire to go
to the United States. His promotion
comes more or less in the ordinary
course of diplomatic changes; but one
of the strongest recommendations that
appealed to Foreign Secretary Lans-
downe was Sir Henry's reputation of be-
ing an excellent lawyer (having been
called to the bar in 1922. A similar
qualification had much to do with the
late Lord Pauncefote's selection.
The new ambassador will speedily bid
farewell to the Spanish court and pro-
coed to the United States. Lady Durand
is not very strong, but it is hoped the
American climate will benefit her health
and enable her to completely fulfill her
duties as hostess of the British embassy.
The daughter Of Sir Henry and Lady
Durand is much liked in Madrid society.
Their son is an officer in the Lancers.
In addition to his diplomatic success
in Persia, India and Afghanistan, Sir
Henry is an expert shot and has had
manv adventures with big game while
hunting in India, where he was closely
connected with Gen. Lord Roberts, serv-
ing as his political secretary during the
famous Cabul campaign.
Sir Henry, who was born in 1850, Is
son of the late Maj. Gen. Sir Henry
Durand He married in 1875 Ella Reeve,
daughter of Teighmouth Sandys, of the

ment of the school is excellent; the
teachers and employees are evidently well
qualified and are earnest in their work.
Like many other boarding schools, how
ever, I found very marked overcrowding
in the dormitories. The beds were placed
close together, with only narrow pas
sage between. In this way 20 or more
Indian children were sleeping in rooms,
which, in my judgment, ought not to
have more than three or four at the
utmost. For healthy white children l
should consider this very imprudent; for
Indian children, tainted with COM
municable disease, such overcrowding
In dormintories is evidently dangerous.
And is 1t not plainly culpable?
~ noticed in one school room a boy
with a bandage on his head. Scrofula, l
was told, was the trouble; on others l
saw the scars where scrofulous sores
had been healed. Evidently, as among
other tribes, these Indians were marked
ly tainted with tuberculosis. Under
these conditions, with such overcrowd-
ing in dormitories, boarding school be-
comes a hotbed for the propagation OF
disease. For time the children may ap-
pear robust and healthy, but in few
wears the hotbed does it's work; the dis
ease, tuberculosis, is developed. Seven
ty per cent of the deaths among the
Winnebagoes is condition that tells
the story. The boarding schools are evil
IDENTIFY to blame in the matter. Other
conditions, it should be said, also help
to make this enormous death rate.
ut should be stated, too, in this con-
nection, that the employees in boarding
school may be entirely blameless for
this overcrowding in dormitories. An
employe is very much like little wheel
in a huge piece of machinery. Each en-
olove must do the work assigned or else
get out of the machine. The great wrong
is there, nevertheless, and the poor In
dian is crushed to death by the huge ma
chinery of the United States Indian de-
partment Instead of the proper meas
ures, which give vigor and health, the
government methods have been in the
opposite direction. The Indian should
work steadily and habitually; physical
exercise is beneficial to health; govern
ment rations, lease money and the
like all tend to idleness-the bane of
health.
abundance of fresh air, In sleeping
hours, az we'll as in the daytime is spe-
cially needed for those having a tendency
toward consumption The dormitory sys-
TEN. as is practiced in boarding schools,
most emphatically deprives the Indian
children of that abundance Of fresh air
that they need.
"The reform must come from Wash
ington downward. I consider the gov
eminent methods as responsible for the
deaths of large number of our Indians"

British civil service. Sir Henry was ap-
pointed to the British privy council IN
1901. He is the author Of life of his
father, Sir Henry Durand, and of Helen
Treveryan."
He entered the Bengal civil service in
1873, was political secretary to Sir F.,
now Earl, Roberts during the Cabul
campaign Of 1879, and foreign secretary
in India from 1884 to 1894. In 1898 he
conducted an important diplomatic mis-
sion to the Ameer of Afghanistan and
from 1894 to 1900 he was British minister
to Teheran.
In the mission to Cabul in 1903 he was
completely successful. The Indo-
Afghan frontier question, the position
of Afghanistan in regard to its Oxus bor-
der, as defined in the Clarendon agree
ment between England and Russia, aid
other matters which had caused some
trouble, were adjusted to the mutual sat-
isfaction of all parties concerned, with
the probable exception of Russia. AS
reward for his services, Sir Henry was
made knight commander of the Order
of the Star in India.
It is worthy Of mention here that the
British mission to Afghanistan in 1893
was full of perils. The safety Of Sir
Henry and his party was intrusted en-
tirely to Afghan honor, the sole guard
being furnished by the ameer's troops,
and Cabul was known to be a hotbed OF
ferocious fanaticism.
The British commissioners special
endeavor was to convince the ameer that
England was single-minded in her de-
sire to uphold the independence Of
Afghanistan. To do this required much
tact, which, fortunately for England
the commissioner had acquired in the
Indian foreign Office.
In 1900 Sir Henry became ambassador
and consul general at Madrid
The significant and important feature
of Sir Henry's selection is the fact that
1t is the first time the British govern
ment has sent an ambassador directly
to, Washington. Heretofore Washington
has been looked upon as post ranking
at the foot Of the embassies, hence it has
been the custom to promote minister
to the embassy to be ambassador here.
So the action of the British government
in this case marks a growing sense of
appreciation of the Importance Of Wash
ington as diplomatic post.

Abandoned Baby I'm Bag.

Listen! Well, I'll be hanged, if that
isn't a baby's cry coming out of the
darkness over yonder in the meadow"
exclaimed Chalkley Cleaver, driving
along a Whitemarsh road toward his
prist mill at Norristown, Pa. He
stopped his horses, CROPPED his way over
the fence, and followed the sound to a
spot where, in a gunny sack, wriggled
a well-dressed, black haired baby girl,
whose parents had evidently left her
there to die. Cleaver took the lusty lit
tie self-defender home, and over the
hill to the poorhouse she will go unless
some other foster home opens its doors
to her.

A PLEA FOR REFORM.
Government Schools Kill Scores of
Indian Children.
Seventy Per Cent. OF Fatalities Due
to Consumption Which 10 the
Direct Result Of Ovcrcrowd-
ed DOrmitories.

Rev. D. A. Sanford, pastor Of the Epis-
copal church at Bridgeport, Okla, is con-
tinuing his investigations regarding the
cause of the great and increased death
rate among the Indians of this country.
In his work as minister he has been
connected with Indian missionary serv-
ice and is well informed regarding In
dian conditions generally. He makes
the statement that an investigation of
the Indian school system would show
more sensational developments than the
alleged Indian frauds in Indian Territory.
Rev. Sanford returned during the week
from q trip to Wisconsin, where he Vis-
tied among the Winnebago Indians and
gives out the following statement for
publication:
Like many other tribes the Winneba-
goes are divided; part in Nebraska, part
in Wisconsin. In Wisconsin they now
number about 1910, a marked decrease
in the tribe. On visit to Tomah, Wis,
in September, when an annual payment
of about $40 per capita was being made
the tribe, I learned some interesting
facts. Mr.. George Kingsley, an educated
Winnebago, employed as a government
Interpreter, told me that the death rate
Is large-that 70 per cent. Of the deaths
are from one source alone, consumption.
From various sources learned that the
use of whisky is very common. One
well-informed man said that one-half
of the Winnebagoes drink whisky when
they can get it. He told me how whisky
is openly sold in the saloons in one town
(Black River Falls) to the Indians.
Il visited the government boarding
school for Indians at Tomah. The chill
dren are Winnebagoes, Menomonees and
Chippewas. In many respects the equip

Why Frogs Are Always Cold.

Many boys have probably wondered
why frogs are cold to the touch, and
some of them look upon these little
creatures with sort of horror, believ-
ing that they have no blood. But such
IL not the case, for they not only aave
Ulood, but they possess nerves and can
feel. Perhaps if this were more gener-
ally known there would not be so many
heartless boys, who seem to take srscial
delight in torturing frogs and toads
According to scientists, frogs are cold
b1ooded because they consume very lit
tie air. It is tho same with fishes
without a plentiful supply of air there
IL not much animal heat, because COM
bustion is slow.
