accomplished by an ambassador to the
American government. He proceeds
upon the eminently practical, but
sometimes somewhat harsh, theory
that it is the business of a German dip
lomatic representative to get every
thing the government in Berlin wants.
DR.. Won Hollebens friends intimate
that the emperor has demanded the
impossible of his ambassador to Wash
ington, and has expected him to per
form feats far and away beyond the
ability of any human being.
There are whispers that DR.. Won Hol-
leben in some way incurred the dis
pleasure of Prince Henry during the
latter's visit to this country, and also
that the kaiser is angry because Won
Holleben was unsuccessful in inducing
President Roosevelt to undertake the
arbitration of the Venezuelan dispute.

non Sartoris of the Tenth infantry,
who is stationed at Manila, unless
good and sufficient reasons for the
tender are furnished by the officer.
Lieut.. Sartoris is a grandson of the
late Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, widow of
Gen. U. S. Grant, who died last month.
Upon the day after Mrs. Grants death
the war department received a cable
gram from Lieut.. Sartoris rendering
his resignation. This action on the
part of the young officer caused sur
prise at the department because it
was understood that his ambition was
to serve in the army, and that he was
very we'll satisfied with his present
position. The war department officials
are of the opinion that the resignation
was caused by depression over the
news of the death of his grandmother,
OF whom Lieut.. Sartoris was very fond.

There is not much surprise ex-
pressed in Washington diplomatic cir
cles over the news from Berlin that
Ambassador Won Holleben had virtu-
ally been recalled by the German en-
peror. 1t is at the same time pretty
well understood that Baron Speck Won
Sternberg will be the new German
ambassador at the capital. That DR..
Won HOlleben's recall is much more
his misfortune than his fault is the
general verdict among well-informed
people in Washington. He is a skill
ful and faithful diplomat, and it is con-
ceded, even by his critics, that he has
done much to improve the relations
between the United States and Ger
many. But he has been unfortunate
in several ways.

PREvENTs smALLPox.

Alabastine 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 their
spread.
1t is a well recognized fact that GER
tain wall coatings do much to harpor
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 it's vegetable
paste.
Alabastine is recommended gener-
ally by sanitarians, as coating for
walls in any style of work, as it is
perfectly sanitary, is in the nature Of
a disiRfectant, presents a perfectly
hard surface, is manufactured from
a 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 it out. have
gone to investigating causes, and un-
hesitatingly say that improper wall
coatings have very much to do with
this.
