ALGEClRAS AS 1T LOOKS
Charms of the spanish City Where
the Morocco Conference is
in Session.

Algeciras is an exquisite city-a little
corner of Spain rarely visited by tourists
and never frequented by Cooks caravans
the Spain of the olden times, the Spain
of the ballads and legends of Victor Hugo
and Theophile Gautier--a city all white
and blue, with its quaint, low-Duilt houses,
. its wrought iron balconies. and its laurels
and rose bushes a-blossoming before its
green-shaded windows. The streets are still
and mournful, and the grass peeps up
from between the cobblestones of the
pavement. All is as silent as in sun
baked city of the orient l come and go in
this strange solitude. Through the half
closed doors / get a glimpse of delicious
patios, inner courts adorned with foun-
tains and azulejos, and with broad-leaved
banana trees. laurel roses and orange
trees. A fragrance of flowers and ripe fruit
hangs over all this drowsy town.
Now and then white hand lifts a green
window shade and through the grating l
sec the face of a beautiful woman. The
young girls of Algeciras are the hand
soonest in Spain Often of mixed Spanish
and English blood their mothers being
dark-skinned Andalusans and their
fathers blonde officers of Gibraltar, they
add Andalusian grace to British charm
Carmen plus Ophelia Pensive faces. black
locks and blue eyes appear among the
flowers in the windows and look out into

theater, and l look sharp TO see If 1t isn't
merely a lovely stage set for some comedy
of Lopes or Calderon'S.
A bell rings out And thus called alb
ruptly back to realities, see the church in
its little open square surrounded by trees
and adorned with stone benches, where
aged men sit smoking in silence. What is
going on? The women are at prayer. They
wear mourning. They groan they pray,
and their tears rain down upon their
/ rosaries. Why are they weeping? Because
they are widows and bereaved mothers,
whose husbands and sons come no more
back to them-dead in Cuba. that island
so far. SO very far away! Others. more
fortunate, returned only yesterday-re-
patriated soldiers of Spain. And so-upon
this charming stage with Its picturesque
setting-there is war;
In the highest of high spirits, those SOL
der boys invade the wine rooms of Alge-
ciras and drink deep of the pale golden

sole remnants of their equipment; Many
have thrust their bare feet into their alpar-
gates. They are laughing and singing

their sweethearts or novias-in the yellow.

GREATER PITTSBURG.

For years the question OF annexing
been agltated and the advocates of the
proposition have at last succeeded in
securing the needed legislation. A few
day ago the Legislature of Pennsylvania
passed and the governor signed a bill
to effect the union or consolidation of
the two cities. The Pittsburg Dispatch
says that when the proceedings au-
thorized by the act are completed, which
will be at IN early time. Pittsburg will
at one stride advance from eleventh to
sixth place among the cities Of the United
States, with an estimated population of
625. 1000; will become fourth in property
valuation. fifth In national bank deposits,
sixth In bank clearings, and continue
an unapproachable first, as now, in
tonnage and the value of its manufac-
lures.
There can be no doubt that the con-
solidation will result to the material
advantage Of the people Of both cities
As the Dispatch remarks. experience
has shown that greater municipalities
can provide more efficient municipal adj
ministration for less proportionate cost.
Allegheny will disappear from the map
and this may hurt the civic pride of
some of its people. but as a part Of
Greater Plttsburg there should and
doubtless will be benefits and advan-
tages TO Its people which otherwise
they could not have secured.

PRACTICE or MEDICINE.
Extended Definition by n Court OF
Record.

tlhlauclpnla Ledger.
A New York court of record has given
decision embracing definition Of the
practice OF medicine. In view of the defiant
attitude Of quacks and OF peddlers Of nos
trums, such definition was needed IL
formed part of Judge Green's charges TO a
jury In the case OF a woman who had been
discharged upon trial for illegal practice
OF medicine, and who later sued for ma
licious prosecution losing the second case.
Judge Green's definition is so lucid and
comprehensive as to he worth quoting:
THE practice of medicine is the exercise
or performance Of any act. by or through
the use of any thing or matter, or by
things done, given or applied. whether with
or without the use of drugs or medicine.
and whether with or without fee therefor,
by person holding himself or herself out
as able TO cure disease, with view to
relieve, heal or cure. and having for its
object the prevention healing remedying.
cure or alienation of disease"
In this Judge Green was sustained by one
colleague, but Judge Deuel. wrote an opin-
ion dissenting at every point This dissent
is not especially deplored.
The woman in question had advertised
that she would cure acute and chronic dis
eases. The cases of such as called upon
her for treatment were dla gnosticated as
nervousness. The method the woman emf
ployed was massage, and for each applica-
ton she exacted a fee of 81. The County
Medical society caused her arrest. She
escaped conviction, but the subsequent ac-
ton brought by herself elected the decision
placing her and all her kind under the ban,
as clearly was the purpose.
The person who undertakes TO do the
work of the doctor, which is the curing
of disease. does not evsde responsibility
by any trick of method. Whether there
be administration of drugs, the laying on
of hands, resort to bread pills. baths, diet
ing. blue glass, nominations or hynotism,
the operation is the practice of medicine, in
the spirit of the statute. This statute is
for protection Of tho public health, as well
as to guard the credulous invalid from the
rapacity OF swindlers. Judge Green's view
will be accepted as the popular view, not
only because it upholds a benign law, but
because it is the expression of plain com
mon sense.

Election Manners An England.
Harper's Weekly.


II America is a paradise, England is the
purgatory, OF the political speaker. He is
very far from being allowed In England
TO have things all his own way. II is an
unwritten law Of the country that he is
liable to contradiction. Any man in the
audience may get up and dispute any state
ment he pleases, and the orator is not al
lowed to disregard the interruption, but
has to stop and argue the matter out with
his adversary The heckler has a recog-
nized standing, and all Englishmen are
hecklers, and especially all English work
ing men. In a company of six you have
only to show an American that FIVE are
against him to convince him that he is
wrong. That is Just when an English
workingman would become finally con-
WINGED that he was the only sane person
in the room.

There are 1860 cities In India numbering

India has native hghting force Of over
100000 men. India counts 100000 900 Mo-
hammedans, and of the 100000 Moham-
medans In the Turkish empire 10000 are
under British rule in Egypt Consequently
Great Britain rules over 100000 Moham-
fundamentally four times as many as are
ruled over by the sultan of Turkey. That
is why Great Britain is not at all likely
ever TO war against Turkey. If she did
so the sultan OF Turkey who is the utular
head of the Mohammedan church, could
unfurl the green standard of the prophet,
which act would call every Mohammedau
male to it's defense against everybody else
in the world. The partition OF Bengal has
brought together the Hindus and Moham-
medans % it's population. II is a well
