Leper Worries War Officials.

Washington, April ga curious case,
involving leper soldier in the Philip
pines, Is before the war department. ahav-
ing been referred to the judge advocate
general to determine in what manner the
affiicted'soldier shall receipt for his pay.
The leper is an enlisted man in the artil-
lery, and at present is isolated in South
Carolina. Pay officers do not care to
have him to handle the rolls to sign the
receipt for his pay, so an arrangement
probably will be mPde whereby the SOL
dier can be paid through power of
attorney executed in the presence of the
physician and nurse in attendance.

An Arabian Eneampme,.

El Kreider, Algeria, April 24.-Presi-
dent I.oubet participated to-day in a
veritable doubar OF the Madio tribesmen
of the desert. The tribesmen gath
cred in thousands from all parts Ot
Southern Algeria for ceremony of orr
entail splendor.
The ceremony was held on vast pla-
teau. Here the tribesmen assembled
from all qua. ters, some of them having
iourneyed three or four hundred miles
across the desert. Their tents were ar
ranged In circles after the Arab custom,
each tribe occupying large CIRCLE ip the
center of which were droves of richly
harnessed camels. The chiefs were
mounted on horses, but the tribesmen
vans, over 5000 men participating In the
gathering,
A superb ten of camel hair fabrics
and Arab tapestries had been erected for
President Loubet. AS each tribe passed
in review its chief dismounted and paid
homage to the President of France, who
distributed decorations to the principal
leaders. After the review came native
fantasia or exhibition of sports. There
were feats of horsemanship and burning
of gunpowder, the exhibition ending by
a charge of all native cavalry, which
wheeled across the plain and charged
toward the station occupied by the
President, pulling up their horses within
300 yards of his position. A mimic COM
bat followed representing the attack
upon and capture of o caravan by q desert
tribe.
The ceremonies were brought to con-
clusion by q grand "diffa" or Arab ban
quet, given by the chiefs in honor of M.
Loubet. The menu, which was printed
in Arabic and French, included such
desert delacies as roast gazelle, "cous-
cous" and camel's milk. Dances exc
cuted by celebrated native beauties fol-
lowed the banquet. After an exhibition
of native methods of hunting, which in
cluded hare chase by trained falcons,
the days entertainments ended.

500 MORE PENSIONERS.
Growth Of the Pension List In tho Various
Counties Since Last Year.
News and Courier.l

Columbia, April 24.-There are 500
more pensioners in the State this year
than last year. The increase In the list
has been steady from year to year and
now numbers $3.50. The increase has
been general throughout the State. The
State Board has endeavored to hold the
list down and to restrict the pension
fund to thoso who were absolutely enti-
tied to It's benefits.
1t will be interesting to know that the
most numerous class of pensioners will
this year get only $17.35, whereas last
year they got $i9.85. This reduction in
the amount to 60 to the pensioners is
simply because Of the increase in the
number adjudged to be entitled to the
benefits of the fund.
1t will be something of u surprise to
many who have been watching pension
legislation to see where most Of the PEN
sion fund goes, as is indicated by the
number of pensioners in each of the
counties. The comparative list is as fol-
lows:

The lost cannot be restored. but all
that still exist may be preserved. We

PREVENTS SMALLPOX.

Aiabastine will not cure smallpox
and other contagious diseases, once
they have fastened their deadly grip
upon their victims. 1t will do much,
however. toward preventing theIs
spread.
1t is a well recognized fact that GER
tain wall coatings do much to harbor
disease germs and propagate same:
that of all coverings wall paper is
the most likely to hold the germs OF
disease for months and years.
There are well authenticated cases
where smallpox. scarlet fever and other
germs have lain dormant for years,
and have attacked persons afterward
when the paper was removed.
Kalsomines stuck on the wall with
decaying glue are not much better
than wall paper with its vegetable
paste.
Alabastine is recommended gener-
ally by sanitarians, as a coating for
walls in any style Of work, as it is
perfectly sanitary, is in the nature of
q disinfectant, presents n perfectly
hard surface, is manufactured from
q cement base. and does not furnish a
lodgment ground for disease germs.
Years ago these matters received
but little attention, but modern scien-
lists becoming appalled, at the spread
of the dread disease, smallpox, and
the difficulty in stamping 1t out, have
gone to investigating causes. and un-
hesitatingly say that improper wall
coatings have very much to do with
this.
Alabastine is recommended to be
used on all infected walls. to destroy
germs and 10 get walls once more in

France GROWING Rich.

A statistical publication just issued
at Paris presents an interesting show
ing of the division of wealth in that
country. The almost universal subdi-
vision of the land in France began
with the first revolution and now there
are 5.500.000 of peasants each owning
a home and tract of land. But the
same process has been going on In
the leading forms of personal property.
In 1880 there were but 125, 900 holders
of French rentes, or government Sc
curities. Now there are over 100000.
Tabulations of the holdings of railway
securities and bank shares make a
similar showing. In retail trade there
was an increase OF about seven per
cent. in the past decade. while the
number of concerns in the wholesale
trade actually diminished in the same
time

himself that the tests are made in the
winter, when the conditions would be
most unfavorable.
