HEART RIGHT
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble. The reason Is obvious.
This is a serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is, solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an un-
expected thing and can be corrected

Mosquitoes Use Judament.

Few mysteries that have lately been
revealed by science make a more pow
erful appeal to the curiosity of intelli-
gent persons that the now well-known
discrimination exhibited by mosqui-
toes. Why should specimens of the
genus stegomyia alone be capable OF
transferring the germs of yellow fever
from one man to another, while rep
resentatives of the genus anopheles
display a similar exclusiveness in re-
gard to malaria? To a limited ex-
tent, no doubt, climatic and geographi-
cal influences operate, for the malarial
mosquito seems to be more widely
distributed over the earth than is the
one which disseminates yellow fever.
Nevertheless, there are regions where
goth genera abound, and in these each
fulHlls its own peculiar mission. AL
most equally marvellous is the inabil-
ity Of the al. too abundant culex to
become infected with either of the dis.
eases mentioned or to infect their
human victims.-New York Tribune.

The American commissioners refused
to accept for their government the
capacity Of sovereignty over Cuba,
representing that the war avowedly
had not been waged for territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but for liberation and
order. 1t was not till Oct. 81 that the
Spanish commissioners accepted the
Cuban articles. The demands of the
United States in regard to the Philip
pines and other islands in the East
and West Indies were presented on
Oct. 81. They included the cession of
the entire Philippine archipelago, as
well as Porto Rico and Guam, the
United States agreeing to reimburse
Spain to the extent of her pacific ex-
penditures for permanent improve
ments. To this Spain demurred on the
ground, among others, that the capitu-
latiOn of Manila on the day subse-
quent to the signing of the protocol Of
peace was void. She offered to sub
NIT the question to arbitration. The
United States refused to recede from
its position, and on Nov. 81, announced
it's final offer to pay 10000, 900 in a
lump sum as compensation to Spain
for all improvements. The commits
sioners further agreed that the United
States would maintain in the Philip
pines an open door to all nations, a
stipulation which carried with it the
admittance Of Spanish ships and Span
ish merchandise on the same terms
as those of the United States. Fur
Their, they agreed TO the mutual relin-
quishment Of all American and Span
ish claims, either individual or ma
tional, for indemnity that had arisen
since the opening of hostilities. Nov.
% was named as the final day for the
acceptance or rejection of these terms.
On that date the terms were accepted
by Spain. The treaty was finally
drawn up on Dec. 10 and was signed
the same evening.

DR.. George Ernest Morrison, London
Times correspondent at Picking, is
England's unofficial ambassador to
China. His knowledge of oriental af-
fairs is so intimate and his sources of
information so sure that his dispatches
to the Times are accepted and acted
upon by the governments of Europe
as if they came from a legation. His
knowledge of the inside workings of
Chinese politics has several times en-
abled him to give the world informa-
ton of sensational Importance which
to this B%eaconsfeld would have fought
Russia in alliance with Turkey, and
Frederick Greenwood, the Journalist,
assures us from personal knowledge"
that he had gone much further in
maturing a scheme Of attack and de-
tense than is commonly known. He
believed that not to throw back the
Russian advance then was to lose Eng
lands last chance of postponing to a
far future the predominance OF a great
rival power in the East. 1t was large
ly due to Beaconsfield that Russia was
compelled to content herself with a
moderate acquisition of territory in
Asia, with the extension of her from
tiers to the mouth of the Danube and
with the formation of two Bulgarian
vassal states.
Two treaties of Paris are famous in
American history. The first, made in
1903, coded the province of Louisiana
to this country. The second, made be-
tween Spain and the United States
after the war of 1898, coded to this
country all Spanish possessions in the
East and the West Indies.
The Spanish and American commits
sioners, five from each country, met
at Paris on October 1, 1898. The
American commissions were William
R. Day, chairman; Senator Cushman
K. Davis, Senator William p. Frye,
Whitelaw Reid and Senator George
Gray. Spain was represented by Eu-
genio Montero Rios, chairman; Buen-
! aventura d'Arbazuza, Jose de Garnica,
Wenceslao Ramirez de Villa Urrutia
and General Rafael Cerrero.
The Cuban question was the first
to come up for consideration. The
Spanish commissioners contended that
since there was no Cuban state SOW
ereignty over Cuba must pass to the
United States and that the latter was
responsible for the Cuban debt Sc
cured on the customs Of the island.

AN IMMENSE CORN CROP.

Be this as it. may, corn, as Americans call 1t Tor snort
is the leading agricultural crop of the United states IN
speaking of the prospective crop for this year, Henry
Clews. in his Weekly Financial Review says:
While the government does not express in bushels us
estimate of the corn prospects. 1t nevertheless turnishS
the statisticians of the various grain exchanges OF the
country with tangible data for converting the monthly
report into bushels. Thus the department indicates an IN,
crease of 2.OSO,0 900 acres in the area planted to corn ana
an initial condition of S73, as against 1874 at the cores
bonding date a year ago. This increase in both acreage
and condition is interpreted by the accepted system Oh
figuring the departments returns as an indication OF a
harvest of 1851, 100000 bushels of corn. AT this date iast
year a similar handling of the governments hgures Oh
condition and acreage promised a crop of 2,53f,oOo,Ooo
bushels, while the official harvest as reported IN Decem-
her claimed 2,467, 100000 bushels, showing the substantial
reliability Of the system of figuring. If the current indf
cation is maintained-if the weather during the next lew
weeks should remain favorabie-the 1905 corn crop VIII
be the largest ever reported by the department or agrlcuf
ture. The price in New York is 60 cents per bushel.

REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE.

The report OF the special committee to the city coun-
Gil on Monday evening erred in two ways, in that 1t did
not cover the ground assigned to the committee, and 1t
embraced matters which had not been thus assigned
AS was plainly apparent at the time the committee
was appointed, they we're to investigate and report upon
three points: Would the water company sell, what price
would they want for their plant, and what would be the
approximate cost of a new and up to date plant? The
committee reported the company would sell, but on the
other two points they made no report whatever. The
price at which the company would sel and what would De
the approximate cost of a new and up to date plant, are
ignored in the report; on the contrary it was recommend-
ed that an expert should be employed to ascertain the
value Of the property, including franchise and the like.
Every one knows what little reliance can be placed
upon paid expert testimony, as shown in the courts of the
land almost every week, where men Of equal eminence in
their respective lines appear on opposite sides and unflinch-
ingly contradict each other. If this writer wanted to buy
a horse, he would go to the man owning the horse he
wanted and ask him for his price. He would hardly think
of employing an expert TO find out what the horse was
worth. So it seems the water company should say plainly
and at once the least amount which they will take for
their property. The apprasement of an expert will cut
little figure in the matter. A new and up to date plant,
ample for Albuquerques purposes, can be established for
something like $4,000. This is the standard by which to
measure the value of the water companys plant, and not
the report of any expert, interested or disintrested.

AMERICAS ASTOUNDING PROSPERITY.

In spite of the things that 60 wrong, nature or proVf
dence is mighty good TO this country.
Never before in the history of this land has nature
opened her cornucopia more generously and poured out
greater plenty.
The west has a record-breaking wheat crop that Is
taxing her labor capacity to the fullest to harvest. And 1t
takes less of it to make a barrel of flour than in previous
years.
The south has a tremendous cotton crop coming on
and the growers are talking lO-cent cotton and prosperity.
The corn crop Of the country promises to be 100000,
900 bushels larger than ever before. The whole Indicated
corn crop, at present prices, means something like ST.
$4,000, 900 to the farmers.
There are indicated bumper crops of oats, rye, rice
nax. barley, tobacco and potatoes-worth hundreds OF
millions.
The farmer is not alone in being blessed.
Throughout the land, from the lakes to the gulf and
from sea to sea, the factories are humming with busy life
There are no strikes of consequence and no prospect
OF any.
The steel Industry is many months behind it orders
Every shipbuilding plant and car shop is worked 10
its fullest capacity.
In the great arteries Of commerce the ships and
freight trains are carrying all they can.
The barometers Of business, the retali stores are
registering their finest records.
The bank reports show a steady increase in savings
EVERY city of enterprise has its home building boom
Perhaps never before, anywhere in the world, did an
entire people live better than do the people o INNS y
try today.
Thre is money to spare in pleasures. New York a one
is snending $50 600 600 on its summer vacations. before
the season ends 100000 Americans will have sailed iof
Europe. In Philadelphia $1,000 people in a single week l.
tended six ball games.
All goes well in this land OF the free!

CITIZEN SCORES VICTORY.

The Citizen cannot but consider the report Of the
special committee to the city council on Monday evening
as distinctly a victory for this paper.
First, because the report says not one word in favor
of extending the present franchise of the Water Supply
company TO 1910. Yet this very thing is what the Watgr
Supply company asked for, and out Of it grew the whole
controversy, the Morning Journal favoTing the extension
and The Citizen opposing it. To judge from the report Of
the special committee, the extension Is now a dead issue.
Decidedly a victory for The Citizen in its dfense OF the
people.
Second, the report says: Eve believe that the senti-
ment of the community is in favor Of municipal owner
ship" This is voctory number two for The Citizen, be
cause this paper declared for municipal ownership from
the very beginning, and the Journal opposed II.
Third, the report speaks of contract with the Water
Supply company ito become effective on approval Of the
qualified voters of the city of Albuquerque, at a special
election to be called for that purpose" And this is the
third victory for The Citizen, this paper having c%ontended
from the first, having produced the law and kept it promi
nently before the people, that the water question could
not legally be acted on but by the people themselves,
the adherents Of the water company in the meanwhile
contending that the city council could act upon it as they
were the representatives of the people.

FlEt LAST NlGhl IN

last night called out the fire depart
ment at the Santa Fe shops. The
blaze was in two box cars that had
caught fire a lew days ago and had

almost entirely consumed. There was
only one alarm turned in, therefore,
the city department did not respond.
