MAG0ON FINDS PEST HOLE.
Unearths Terrible Conditions In Cuban
 Asylum For the Insane.

Unearths Terrible Conditions In Cuban
 Asylum For the Insane.
 Havana, Oct 24.-An appalling con- dition of affairs was discovered by Governor Magoon when he visited the National Insane asylum, where 1860 men and women were huddled in a space which, incredible as it may seem, accommodates normally only 400.
 Congress had appropriated sufficient money with which to extend and re- build the filthy, dilapidated structures, but Governor Magoon discovered that not penny was spent to make re- pairs and alleviate the condition of the poor wretches confined in the place known as an asylum"
 The 1,660 men and women slept on broken cots, battered relics of the last occupation by United States troops. Filth was everywhere, and not only discomfort, but actual torture because of conditions were prevalent.
 Immediate steps were taken by the governor to have additional structures erected and the old ones repaired.

DR. BROUWER ACQUITTED.
Jury Finds Physician Not Guilty of
 Poisoning His Wife.

Toms River, N. J., Oct. 24.-After a trial that had lasted several days pr. Frank Brouwer, indicted for the mur- der by poisoning of his wife, Carrie Brouwer, was acquitted. The jury brought in verdict of not guilty just one hour after retiring.
 The dramatic feature of the end of the trial was the plea for the defense by MT. Wilson to the jury urging them to do their duty and "send this man home to his aged mother and mother less children"
 1t was a masterly closing to a mas terly plea, in which the case of the state had been ripped into tatters until there were left but the suspicious of two nurses and the evidence of q sin gle medical expert, who never saw Mrs. Brouwer alive and never treated a living case of arsenical poisoning, that arsenic killed her.
 In his closing address for the state Lawyer A. E. Johnson delivered scathing arraignment of the accused physician.

THE TWO AMERICAS.

We are accustomed to think of the
anglo Saxon dominance of this
hemisphere as complete. But it is not
we'll to ignore the Spanish speaking
peoples growing up to the south of us.
Hubert M. Skinner, in the National
Magazine, says:
1.-The Spanish-speaking world is
much larger than the French-speak-
ing, and. nearly as large as the Ger
man. speaking. There are perhaps
fifty millions of people in all who
make use of the French language and
seventy millions, all told, who speak
German in some of it's forms. There
are probably sixty-five millions or more
who speak Spanish; and if we include
with them those who use the closely
related Portuguese, the number will be
about eighty-five milliOnss."
In this new Spanish world the birth
rate is larger than that of the United
States.
Buenos Ayres, in the Argentine re-
public, is a city of a million people,

of wheat.
1t will be impossible "to absorb" this
race, for the racial elemtn is persist
ent in it, Mexico has made good as
a nation, and Chile and Argentine are
not far. if any, behind her.
The future will find on this con-
tinent two powerful race individuali-
ties face to face. There is no reason
why they should not be friends and
work together for the good of all, each
in it's own sphere.

DOOM OF THE FLY SOUNDED.

The house fly has long been recog-
nized as a scavenger, but in his work
or removing filth and disease, infected
matter he sometimes stops and steps
on food that is to be used later by
human beings. On this food, whether
in the grocery store or in the house,
he leaves tracks filled with disease
germs. For this reason the fly, as
well as the mosquito, is recognized as
an enemy to man. There are better
WAYS of removing filth than to wait
for the fly to act.
The city of Paris has started in in
earnest to make a campaign against
this pest Of civilization. The way to
stamp him out is not to hit him with
a newspaper, but to prevent his breed
ing. A female fly has a capacity for
infinite multiplication if she can find
suitable places for Matching her eggs.
These are manure heaps. drains and
ceSSpOOlS. A DarnyarQ or livery SldDle
yard with manure exposed is a nur-
sery of flies.
In the Paris experiments last year
the most successful results obtained
in preventing flies breeding were Sc
cured by the use of ray petroleum or
raw schist oil, the residue of distilla-
ton. This oil youred into the semi
liquid breeding places of flies will form
a strata of oil that will destroy all
larvae. In the case of manure heaps
the oil mixed with earth, lime and
fossil phosphates is sprinkled over all
sources which the flies would naturally
seek, and the production of flies does
not take place.
Before many decades public cam
paigns against flies will be looked upon
not only as necessary to the public
comfort, but to the public health.
