Citing Days of Old

In Shakespeare are endless sources of
inspiration for orators, so Actor Leo
turer Frederick Warde told his Satur-
DAY afternoon audience, with "Hamlet'
as his theme.
'Of the many branches of esthetic
culture" he added, "oratory is the
most neglected. True, there are MANY
teachers of elocution and schools of
acting, but my experience with such
pupils has invariably been unfortunate

There is no reason why anyone can
not overcome defects which may seem
almost insurmountable.
The most humorous of all are the
political campaigns, when the young

The speaker spoke Of the perfect ex-

The hospital was built for the sole

was considerable smallpox i'm the

three administrations and no one
knows who is to blame. No accusa-

be brought against it. 1t was con-

HOPE FOR MORE PAY
APPEAL OF employees OF HOSPI-
TAI FOR INSANE.

The men and women who are employed to
care for the demented patients in the Gov
eminent Hospital for the Insane, on the
heights overlooking Washington from the
southeast, are making an earnest plea to
be considered by Congress in connection
with the proposed increase of 20 per cent in
the salaries of government clerks and other
employees. A committee representing the
Hospital Attendants Prospective Union has
prepared statement setting forth in a
comprehensive manner their reasons why
the stipend now paid them should be in
creased, and a copy Of this plea has been
furnished The Star.
1t is stated that these employees have the
most arduous and difficult work to perform.

mere pittance as compared with the salaries
of other government employees" 1t is further
stated that the hospital attendants have
few Of the privileges that are accorded the
others of Uncle Sans official family.
Continuing, the statement is to the effect
that:
1.-TWO days during the week some of us
work sixteen hours-from 6 In until 10
p.m.; three days fourteen hours-from 6
am until PM; two days eleven and one
half hours-from g am. until $50 pm. We
are only given seventeen Sundays out of
the f1fty-two, two holidays out of seven.
and one-half day each week Fifteen days
vacation, but in case of sickness lasting for
fifteen days we lose our vacation the time
we should have to rest and recuperate.
Amount of Salary Received.
1.-THE salary received is to begin at s1s
per month, and requires three years to re-
ceive the maximum salary of $40 per
month, and during this time two years are
devoted to study in the training school. We
are required to purchase uniforms, no time
or compensation is allowed for the long
hours we work, and after the long days
work is done we are subject to call at any
time.
"A great many Of the old employees are
married and have families to support; some
have served ten years and more. 1t Is
amusing when we compare the salaries of
others with ours. The clerk gives On estf-

Law to Prevent Corrupt Practices.

Consul Rufus Fleming of Edinburgh re-
ports that in recent years the secret COM
mission evil has become widespread in
Great Britain, running like a poisonous
current through nearly all branches of
business.
On August last the British parliament
enacted drastic law for the punishment
of corrupt transactions with agents. The
new law. entitled Prevention of Corrup-
ton Act" which will go into operation on
January 1, 1907, is expected to eliminate
or materially reduce this form of graft
in trade. Briefly, the act provides that
any person who corruptly offers to an
agent. or any agent who corrupt1y accepts.

cate that the practice marches and recon-
naissance parties which are moving around
the island in every direction are having
most Salutary effect. Under instructions
from headquarters, one of the principal du-
ties of the officers in command is to reas-
sure the people, quiet their nerves and In
duce them to go to work. This they seem
to be doing and the cutting of cane and
planting of tobacco is going on quietly and
steadily everywhere. The only objection
that could possibly be raised against the
system is that the feeling OF security whlch
the people have from the presence of troops
is so gratifying that they may join any
party which might be formed to delay our
departure.
zone of the most marked features of
this situation is the number of houses that
are being built throughout the country
districts. On a ride of thirty-four miles

struction after our arrived in Havana.
There is a regular building boom"
Advices From Magoon.
Since debating the above letter, under
date Of December %. has been received
from Gov. Magoon, which contains the fol-
lowing passage:
"The present situation is full of hope and
confidence that the provisional government
will have no occasion to deal with a pub
lie uprising. The continued tranquility Of
the island under our administration is as
satisfactory as anything can be in Cuba.
He also says with reference to the strike
at Camaguey:
There is fair prospect of strike by
| the workmen in the railway shops In
| Camaguey ,and I sent fifty artillerymen
| there last night. and this morning am adj
vised that the matter is unimportant.'
| There is further dispatch from Gov.
| Magoon. under date of December %, with
| reference to a press report from Wash
I ington. published in Havana, which says:
"The message states that in the province
of Santa Clara there scattered bands
! Of armed man. marauding and pillaging,
| and that the rurales are unable to cope
with them. If message so states, there
was an error in transmission or quoting.
There are no bands out in Santa Clara"
