SITE FORNAVALSTATIO
Secretary Moody Selects Guanta-
namo as Principal Base In Cuba.
EXAMINED STRATEGIC POINTS

Congress VIII Be Asked to Purchase
Twenty Square Miles and Several
Islands and Erect Strong Fortifica-'
tions Against Sea Attack.
Guantanamo, Cuba, March 25.-After
q personal inspection of the proposed
site, Secretary Moody has selected
Guantanamo as the principal United
States naval station in the West In
dies. Secretary Moody, Senator Proc
tor and Congressman Cannon, Foss and
Gillett arrived here Monday on board
the United States dispatch boat Dol
phin, which anchored in the lower bay.
Secretary Moody and his associates
have worked necessarily during the
past two days under a hot sun, exam
ining the strategic points, the trans
portation facilities. the water supply
and the surrounding country. They
visited the locations for the proposed
Notifications, surveyed the coast line
and conferred with the owners Of the
land it is proposed to acquire.
Senator Proctor and the congress
men will recommend the purchase Of
20 square miles OF land on both sides
OF the lower bay and several small
islands. AS soon as the necessary
legislation has been secured they favor
the construction Of a permanent bar
racks, dry dock and strong fortiica-
lions, designed against a sea attack
only, Notifications on the land side
.sot Saias considered 60 necessary. Ec
difficulty is anticipated in acquiring the
necessary lands. as the Spanish and
the English owners are enthusiastic for
the station. 1t is thought that both
the army and the navy will maintain
forces at Guantanamo.

Instead OF the war department OF

everything is being done by the British
war department to encourage the
the soldiers. On November a meet
ing of the council of the Army Tenn
perance association was held at the
war Office. Lord Methuen was among
those present The secretary stated
that the secretary of war, after con-
sulting with the commander in chief,
had submitted 20 the king u recon-
mendation that the association in this
country, as we'll as in India, should be
allowed to bear the prefix Royal"
as his majesty had graciously noti-
fed his approval that the association
would in future be known by that title
In their report the executive COM
mittee stated that 81 new branches
had been formed during the half-year,
making total of 400. OF this total,
40 were in South Africa, where the
work was progressing steadily. Forty
five officers had intimated their readi-
ness to form branches in the militia
Lord Roberts said he noted with salts
faction that although the greater part
of the army had been in South Africa,
an extraordinary number of men in
the United Kingdom had joined the
association. He was especially pleased
that the association had been so sue
cessful among the recruits. He hoped
that in all new barracks provision of
rooms for the use of members of the
association will be recognized as part

Is he was fireman to little stationary
engine in one of the coal mines of
England. Once a fortnight his COM
panions left their work and went on
"spree." 1t was of no use to run the
engine in their absence, but he stayed
by it and studied it. When the week
ly class night came around, while his
companions went to the public" he
washed up and went to the Wesleyan
chapel, where he found better COM
pany. After some years his studies
on his engine when his companions
were on drunk enabled him to pro-
duce a new thing-a railway locomo-
tive; for this same George Stephen
son was the originator of modern rail
road locomotion. In the prime of life
he spoke before parliamentary COM
mittees, and was a welcome guest at
the tables of kings, and he attributed
his successes TO his adherence to alb
stinence principles.

TEMPERANCE AND BUSINESS.
IL In becoming More and More Evd-
dent That the Latter Does Not
Mix Well with Alcohol.

Ever since the active movement in
favor of temperance began, stress has
been laid chiefly on the moral side of
the question. This is most important
and most conspicuous. But the tenn
perance question has also an indus
trial or financial, a business aspect,
which, although it has not been SO
generally considered, is too significant
to be disregarded.
An English political economist who
has been studying the causes of the
wonderful progress of the United
States gives most of the credit to the
comparative abstinence of the Ameri-
cans from Intoxicating drinks.
In Collinwood, Ohio, a suburb of
Cleveland, are large repair shops be-
longing to the Lake Shore railroad.
Just before the last election the COM
pany announced that If the town
voted no on the license question the
corporation would spend a million
dollars there for additional shops. If
the saloons remained the company did
not care to increase it's plant, because
it could not get and keep the high
class of workmen it required. The
town voted for no license by large
| majority, and in one month SO saloons
had been closed. The newspapers
justly pronounced it ga great business
victory"
The Southern Pacific railroad had
been in the habit of leasing bar priv
ileges on its coast-wise steamboats,.
1t received $3.50 day from, each, yet
l. had lately abolished all the bars on
the ground that they alienated more
business and entailed more expense
than they were worth.
A book collector recently examined
three magnificent private libraries
which had unexpectedly come into the
auction-room. Investigation revealed
the fact that in each case the sale was
due to the dissipation of the owner.
And now, to cap the climax, the
| liquor seller himself is urging tenn
| perance-for business reasons. The
| National Association of Retail Liquor
Dealers passed this amazing resolu-
ton: Recognizing the weakness OF
human nature, we are ready to lend
our influence to the reform Of the
drunkard and the curtailment of the
evil resulting from excessive indul-
| gence."-Youth's Companion.

most important OF the awards, from
the miners standpoint, are the ones
liking a nine-hour day and providing
for board of Cancellation. The award
gives a nine-hour day with ten hours
pay directly to 10000 men, and practi.
cally all of the other employees of the
anthracite mines will get a nine-hour
day by reason of their comrades
shorter hours. The provision for a
