GET FOOD DISTRIBUTION
DOWN TO A SYSTEM

| Beginning tomorrow at noon 1t IS
planned by Major Febiger to have five
stations for the distribution of hot
meals established in the fifth relief
section. bounded by Market, Castro,
Nineteenth street and the bay. Meals
will be furnished to all who apply at
uniform rate of ID cents. Any person
unable to pay the price of meal will
be given meal ticket at the relief sta
ton of the district, WHICH will entftle
the bearer to a free meal. The tickets
will subsequently, be redeemed by the
relief committee from the general con
tractor in charge of the work, ID. j.
Desmond All of the five stations had
not been located yesterday afternoon
when the general announcement was
made, but it was definitely known that
one would be at Recreation Park, at
Eighth and Harrison streets, and an
other at South Park.
The adoption of the 15-cent meal idea
is experimental, but it is the prediction
of Major Febiger and his aids, Captains
Madden and Ely, that the system will
prove highly successful and will ulti-
mately be adopted through all of the
seven general relief sections. All per-
sons living in the FIVE districts of the
fifth relief section where the food kitch
ems will be operative tomorrow will
have to take their meal tickets and sit
down at the common board or go hun |
Cry 1t is planned in that fashion to
reduce the number of applicants for re-
lief materially. 1t is a well known fact |
that thousands of people are taking
their places in the bread line who are
fully capable of buying what they need. |
Most of them, so the AUTH critics judge, /
will think twice before they viii accept |
meal ticket and sit down at the com
mon mess.

WILD STORIES ABOUT
KILLING ARE NOT TRUE

Disproof of the wild stories about
people killed by soldiers during the
great fire is furnished by the records
of the Coroner s Office and the records
of the military authorities. The only
the Coroner is that of H. c. Tilden,
shot by members of citizens patrol.
Two We're killed by National Guards
men-Joseph Myers and Joseph Rior-
dan.
Coroner Walsh said yesterday:
"My office has reports showing three
hundred and fifty eight deaths In each
case, either shortly after death or when
hastily-interred bodies were exhumed,
an examination was made. We handled
just one gunshot case, that of Heber
Tilden. In the time of great excite
ment we heard of MANY cases of shoot
ing, but the fact that we never got
the bodies convinces me that the stories
Were false. For instance, we were told
that three men were shot on East
street on the day of the earthquake and
buried where they fell. We dug up
three Bodies at the place mentioned,
and DIR. Kucich, my autopsy physician,
victims, one Chinese and the other two
white, were not shot, the condition of
their bodies proving conclusively that
they were killed by falling walls.
In all our three hundred and fifty
eight cases, with the exception men
toned, death was due to one of three
causes, fractured skull, crushing of the
body, or asphyxiation.'

When Colonies Are QueenIess.

Colonies that have become queen
less during the summer, cannot be
expected to produce any honey dur
ing the fall crop, because they will
at that time be too weak in field
workers. The best that may be eX-
pected of them is to harvest enough
honey to winter. They are usually
strong in numbers when fall comes
and make valuable colonies for the
following season. as their queens are
young and vigorous.
The most frequent cause of queen
lessness in a colony that has swarm
ed is the loss of the young queen in
her wedding flight At that time, as
the hive has no young brood left, If
the queen is lost, the hive is hopeless.
For that reason, it is indispensable,
within twenty days after the issue of
the swarm, to ascertain the condition
of the colony.
II no brood is found, it is evident
that the queen has been lost in her
wedding fight. Such colonies would
become a prey to the moth, within q
very short time, for there are no
longer any Matching bees to make up
for those that die of fatigue or by
accident.

Spanish officer and forty-siX men. 1t
was Mt the close of the battle that Il
white flag was raised over one of the
Spanish blockhouseS, and the officer in
charge left it TO parley with the Gu
bans The Cuban commanding the in
surgeuts operating against the block
house went forward to meet the Span
lard, having a negro Subaltern with
him The Spanard was alone. When
the two officers met the Cuban gave a
sign, and the negro chopped the Span
lard to pieces with his machete. The
garrison surrendered and the entire
force of fOrty-SiX men was chopped
down with machetes. This incident is
said to have Disguised Funston SO
much that he forthwith quit the Gu
bans and by the aid of Consul General
Fitz Hugh Lee returned to the United
States.
Horses are very important factor
in fighting like that which has been
going on in Cuba. The insurgents seiz-
ed all the horses they could get at the
outbreak of the rebellion. thus Grip
ping agriculture and industry, and the
government bought many horses from
the United States and other countries
with which to equip the rural guard
and the volunteer soldiers. The Gu
bans are generally good riders and
take to the kind of fighting in which
horses are used.
The American commissioners have
praised the work of Alfredo Zayas,
president of the Liberal party. who as
sisted them in every possible way in
their efforts to bring the warning fac
tons in Cuba to an agreement. DR.
Zayas has been president of the Cuban
senate. Before the arrival in the is.

more shade the better Eight by six

Cover the bed four to six inches

then spade it as deep as you can,
mixing the manure with the earth as
