Cuba is assuming grave proportions.
The information has created much
alarm here, and it is noticed that all

government had asked the United
States for eight rapid-fire guns manned

LICENSE FEES IN ENGLAND.
An Average of $175 Against One of 1886
in his Country.

The average rate of license taxation in
122 towns of the United States having
population exceeding 10000 is $685., as
against an average of $175 charged in
similar towns in Great Britain.
If the comparison be made with par
ticular states or certain geographical di-
visions, the difference is even more pro-
nounced.
The average license duty in twenty
one New England cities, says the indie
pendent, is ten times the average rate
in similar cities in the United Kingdom.
Naturally, the revenue thus received is
much greater in this country than in
Great Britain
In the 164 British towns having a
population. of 10000 and upward, the
proceeds from this source is approx
imately $4,O8O,0OO; whereas, in the 122
American towns of the same size it is
$36 975, 900, or more than nine times as
much The number of retail liquor
places in Great Britain is less today
than in 1880, though the quantity of
liquor sold is much greater. The policy
of limiting the number OF public houses
has resulted in creating a monopoly Of
the liquor traffic and has increased enor-
mously license values, without a SINH
lar increase in the scale of taxation.

A Hint for the Amateur.

"What I want is bright, short
play.' said Toole to the amateur, who
had brought him a six-act drama
'How do you mean-a short. bright
drama?" asked the author. Can you
give me an idea.'
ooh, yes said Toole, there's one.
It's direct and leaves much to the mag
ination.
1T is in one act.
"When the curtain goes up two per-
sons are discovered on sofa, one a
pretty young woman, the other nice
looking young fellow. They embrace;
neither of them says word. Then a
door opens at the back and a commercial
traveller enters. He wears an overcoat
and carries an umbrella. You can tell
at once by his manner that he is the
husband of the young woman. At least,
that would be the inference of every in
telligent playgoer
"The husband takes off his coat,
draws from his pocket heavy revolver,
and in the midst of the silent embrace OF
hero and heroine fires.
sThe Young woman falls dead.
HE fires again and the young man is
similarly disposed of. Then the murder
or comes forward. puts on pair OF eye

NEW YORK'S LEPERS.
The Dreary Life They Lead on Black.
Wells Island

/ Although a recent statement that 200
lepers are walking about the streets of
New York, a constant menace to public
health. has been met with vigorous de-
malls on the part of local health officials,
backed up by the statements of experts
tagious disease than generally
supposed, yet New York city has
leprosy camp of her own. These lepers
are public charges under the care of the
department of charities, and their abode
resembles more death house in some
prison than camp" 1t is the one
roomed ell part of a long low brick
building on Blackwell's Island The
main portion of the building is given up
to erysipelas patients, but this one room,
entirely separated from the erysipelaS
ward, is devoted exclusively to the use
of leprOus patients. There are only three
of them at present, all men. One is an
elderly Dane, who has lost his eyesight;
the other two are Chinese, one a man
of middle age, who is very sick, and the
other young fellow, who is said by the
physicians and nurse to be nearly cured
of the disease.
Though the camp" is only about fifty
yards from the Metropolitan hospital,
the administration building of the hos
pital group on the island, when one
crosses the drive and walks down beside
the long low brick building to that small
room at it's eastern end, sense of DESC
lation lays hold upon the stoutest heart
There are other buildings nearby, car
riages rattle down the drive, boats glide
down the river within calling distance
and only that low building, viewed in
the knowledge of it's use, presents a pic
ture of sadness as complete as the most
imaginative mind could desire.
And the lives of it's inmates are in
keeping with the appearance of the
building. 1t is true that they are not
bound by hard and fast rules, for the
hospital officials share the belief of Dr.
Charles f. Roberts, leprosy expert of
the city health department. that leprosy
is such a feebly contagious disease as to
require other conditions than mere prox-
unity to communicate it. Consequently,
in so far as their physical condition per
mits, the city's lepers are free to wander
about the hospital grounds of the island
on fair days in summer when they feel
the need of fresh air and a little exer-
else According to their nurse, although
they have never done so, the lepers
would not be restricted by their disease
from visiting the city proper since
leprosy is not counted contagious.-New

Salt for Dust LAYING,

Salt is the latest device for laying dust
on roads in the country. The author of
this new departure is M. Trintzins, city
surveyor of Rouen, who has published
it as the result of long series of expert
ments. The list of these, while bringing
out the weak side Of the new system,
possesses considerable interest as show
ing it to possess real possibilities of util-
ity. A long stretch of road was first
watered, and then sprinkled with salt:
The next day the surface of the road
was covered with a thin, glazed crust.
Rain removed this in parts, but where
the glaze remained there was no dust
for FIVE days.-Dundee Advertiser.

Sanland.

A certain class of minds has been at
work for more than hundred years try
ing to construct an original designation
in a single word, for the United States
of America. 1t was seriously proposed
at first to call the republic Columbia,
but no one wanted that, and finally New
Granada, in South America, came along
and appropriated the title. Samuel
Whelpley, author of the "Compend of
History" conducted a campaign in be-
half of the word "Fredonia, which he
considered more euphonious than Free
domia," but succeeded only in getting the
name attached to a village in this state,
whence it has been passed on to postof-
fees in a dozen other states of the union.
Later, the English kindly attempted to
rechristen the country "Usonia," and the
people "Usonians," by derivation from
the magical initials ~. S. A" But COM
mon speech accepts none of these desig-
nations. America" and Americans"
are good enough for the people, who see
no improperly whatever in giving con-
tinental designation to the republic and
it's citizens.
But the fact that no original designa-
ton has yet pleased the fancy of the
people is no sure sign that none ever
will The International Mercantile Ma
rine company has hit upon a name for
one of it's ships which has great popular
and picturesque possibilities. When the
steamer Mississippi of the Red Star line
reaches this port tomorrow she is to be
rechristened Samland, in honor of Uncle
Sam.
And ''Samland'' is good. Uncle Sam,
the genial and shrewd abstraction of the
republic is dear to every heart. We can
imagine ''Samland" going from mouth
to mouth until the application of it is
transferred to the nation. After that
Americans of the United States may be
calling themselves San,anLcrs, and the
business will be done.

warning on the whites and against one

start was made that the great white peak
was sighted and twelve days later the
base was reached
On reaching the mountains storms
were encountered and food became
scarce. The clothing of the men was
worn to shreds. 1t was inadequate TO
keep out the freezing air When Pike
and three of his men climbed an adioin-
ing mountain to view the peak they were
clad in overalls. without undertaking or
stockings. Their boots were worn
through, admitting freely the snow and
stones.
Snow on top of the mountain was
feet deep and the temperature was 6 de-
grees below zero. The climb occupied
two days, the intervening night being
spent IN cave, without food or water
After this experience came others
equally trying.
The little party was finally captured
by Spanish soldiers at point near
where Trinidad, Colo, now stands.
Had Pike not been a soldier he doubt
less would have remained with the ven

death, a general at the age of 81, leading
