!. A SECRET ALLIANCE.
Germany Agreed to Protect Italy in
Settlement of the Venezu-
elan Affair.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The existence
OF secret treaty between Germany
and Italy, by which Germany agreed
to secure to Italy the same treatment
received in the settlement of the Ven
ezuela affair accorded to Great Britain
and Germany, has been discovered. The
treaty was made without the knowl-
edge of Great Britain, and Sir Michael
Herbert, the British ambassador, only
learned of it's existence late Saturday
afternoon. Its discovery at this late
hour cannot affect the settlement of
the Venezuelan affair. It Will serve,
however, to put all of the negotiators
more closely on their guard in the
drafting of the protocols, which they
hope to submit to Minister Bowen dur
ing the next few days.
Minister Bowen has made it plain
both to the British ambassador and to
the German minister that he cannot
atfix his signature to any protocols they
may present to him which are not sub
stantia]ly of the same character as
that to be submitted by the Italian am
bassador, Signor Mayor des Planches
All three of the first set of protocols
to be signed which will contain the con.
ditions precedent to the raising of the
blockade and the provisions for re-
ferring the question of preferential
treatment to The Hague for decision
have been received at the Italian, Brit
ish and German embassies. Their con-
tents are not known to Mr.. Bowen. nor
have the allies representatives been
acquainted as yet with the details.

THE INvALID's HOTEL.
The Ideal Modern Hospital,

4AC AOC1i uhOOcEA hOSDlC8As
1t is generally the case that when
some great modern improvement of
old methods of business is put for
ward, the world says. "How simp-
lei Why didn't somebody think of
it beforeP" When you read of an
s'Invalids' Hotel" as the modern
hospital ideal, the thought at once
comes, "What a great improve
ment. Why didn't somebody think
of it before"
The Invalids' Hotel and Surgi-
cal Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y the
unique model of medical and sur
gical progress, owes its existence
to it's founder, DIR. r v. Pierce,
and the rare combination of bust
ness acumen and professional abil-
ity which he possesses in a marked
degree.
Most people dread the thought
of the ordinary hospital, however
benefcent the institution may be-
In the popular mind the hospital
is next to q prison; a place where
identity is lost, and a man or WON.
an becomes merely a "case" for the
experiments of doctors or surgeons
With his experience the thought
occurred to DR.. Pierce, why not put
the hospital on q hotel basis? Why
not let the patient preserve his in
divuality aud identity, and lead an
existence as independent and free
as the condition of invalidism will
will allow2 And so was born and
built the "Invalids' Hotel" whose
walters are white-olothed men and
and white-capped women nurses,
Here are no great dreary wards,
echoing with the moaning of the
sioh, but separate rooms, az in an
ordinary hotel service, the servants
being skilled physicians and nurses
The Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute is provided with every
modern appliance for the electrical
or mechanical treatment of disease.
Nearly score Of physicians leach

are in constant attendance on the
inmates. Everything that can CON-
duoe to comfort and home-likeness
is provided by DIR. Pierce for his
guests. and the sights and sounds
and smells of the public hospital
are entirely avoided.
Undoubtedly DIR. Pierce's Iuva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute,
OF Buffalo. n. Y, is the ideal mod
-ern hospital.

A Southern Opinion.

The Times-Democrat of New Or
leans may be fairly considered the
best representative of Democratic
sentiment in the South. The Cour-
ier- journal formerly held the pre-
miership in southern journalism,
but it forfeited the place by it's
apostacy in 1896. The honor then
fell to the Atlanta Constitution,
but that paper by its advocacy of
colonialism and by its surrender of
the Democratic position on other
questions sin the interest of har-
mony" is leaving the leadership of
the Southern press to the Times
Democrat, and the leadership is be-
ing we'll sustained. Its editorials
are strong and clear, and they draw
a proper distinction between the
Hamiltonian ideas. which prevail
among the Republicans and gold
Democrats, and the Jeffersonian
views which prevail among the be-
levers in the Chicago and Kansas
City platforms. Its manner of deal
ing with the present situation is
well illustrated in this present edi.
torial: eff the country prefers re-
publican policies the reins of pow
er should be intrusted to Republi-
can hands; if democratic remedies
are desired, the Democratic doctor
should be called in. Let us have
no more quacks who give bread
pills and poison by turns without
thought of the patients disease.
