THE MASTER STROKE.
Mr.. S. A. Longs Theme at Meeting for

terday afternoon before the mems meeting
at the Y. NJ C. A. gymnasium, Mr.. s. A.
Long of Dayton, Ohio, brought out the idea
that one must husband his strength for
the time when he stands to win or lose
everything by a single act, by master
stroke"

tanned that there was time in every con-
test when there was a doubt as to the re-
suit. That comes in the life Of every man;
and a man should save up his energies and
efforts and prepare himself by expanding
and building up his capabilities for that
crisis.
Some men will get more good. said the
speaker from a visit to the hospital or the
gymnasium than to prayer meeting or
church. A man who Is strong physically
is more apt to be strong morally than the
physically weak man, and q mans moral
well-being. declared Mr.. Long, depends In
a large measure on his physical strength
A mans character is changing a little
every day. and his thoughts are what mold
the structure, continued Mr.. Long.
"a man is not what he thinks he is. but
what he thinks" he said Tell me what
a mans thoughts are today. and will tell
you what kind of man he will be tomor-
row. A man never feels stronger than
when a new thought has occurred to him,
better than anything he has ever thought
before"

ALTER WRITES HIS MOTHER.
Wants First News of His Arrest to Go
From Him


The case of Wade Alter the young man
who is under arrest for the alleged theft of
a lens from the Photographic studio of
Harris & Ewing, and who claims that he is
a cousin of Harry K. Thaw, the man who
killed Stanford White, was not before the
Police Court today. Young Alter would
have been taken to court last week, but he
expressed desire to be detained at the
drst precinct police station until the lens
was returned here, and the police granted
his request.
When the young man learned that some
thing concerning his identity would appear
in print he asked that he be given paper
letter to his mother
L had hoped that my mother would not
know OF my arrest and whereabouts" he
said, but now that 1t is all to appear i'm
the papers l want to send word to her and
let the news come from me-"
statements made to Detective Horne by
Alter indicated that his defense may be
lack of mental power. Alter told the de-
tective that his mind is not normal at all
times
After I shipped the lens to Monmouth.
Ill, he said, Il made up my mind to have
1T sent right back"
He used fictitious name when he trans
acted his business with the express COM
pany. the police say, and his actions did
not indicate that there was any trouble
with his brain at that time. Alter says his
mother Is living at New Wilmington Pa
a few miles from Pittsburg.

1t Is asserted that several hundred persons
who are down on the rolls of the bureau
of education as public school teachers can
neither read nor write, and there will be no
Improvement in the qualification of the
voting population for the present genera
ton. at least. There have been no free
schools in Cuba until recently. 1t was
against Spanish principles to educate the
lower classes, and while an education test
for suffrage would be wise, such a PROPOSE
ton, If adopted, would abolish the liberal
party and deprive per cent Of the men
who fought for the freedom of Cuba of
participation in the government.
The property test would have the same
effect. There are no savings banks In
Cuba. The working people seldom save
anything. They have never been taught to
do So They have never been taught the
advantage of owning a home, and hence
very few Of the wage-earners own prop
erty.
1t has been proposed to give more than
one vote to large real estate owners, SO
that they shall have preponderance Of
influence in the collection and disbursement
of taxes-tO give one vote for so many
taxes, and two votes for so many more;
but the members of the liberal party re-
jected that idea very promptly because 1t
would create class distinctions and put the
veterans Of 1.-The army of liberation" at
disadvantage. Three-fourths of the in
surgent forces who fought the battles of
the republic and assisted the Americans
to drive the Saniards from the island, are
both illiterate and penniless. If a property
and educational test should be adopted
majority of the leaders of the liberal party
would be debarred from the polls. There
are very few taxpayers among them
Population of Voting Age.
Seventy-five per cent of the property in
Cuba is owned by foreigners. 1T least one
half is owned by Spaniards. The following

PREVENTION OF CONSUMPTION.
Vigorous Campaign Planned by Mem
bers Of COMMITTEES.

The campaign Of the committee on the

contemplated, it is explained, involves the
circulation among diaries supplying milk

which Is intended to be so placed as to
serve as q daily reminder of the Importance

lin test OF cattle. excellent reports upon
both these particulars together with milk

mending the pasteurization of all milk sold
in the city. 1t believes. however, that
should the dairymen do their part in sup
plying milk capable of certifcation compul-
sorry pasteurization. which is an expensive
process. may be safely withheld.
The following are some Of the recon-
mendations passed upon favorably at a re-
cent conference on the subject:
That campaign Of education be con-
Quoted in order to show to the public that
q reliable milk supply is important for the
furtherance Of public health and that 1t is
cheaper to pay more for pure milk. IL neces-

In the city of Havana alone there are
81 ,439 SpaniardS of voting age to %, 161
white Cubans and 1850 colored natives,
but the Spaniards take no part whatever
in politics and have nothing to do with
the government. The census of 1899 show
ed 5000 other foreigners of voting age
in Cuba, and according to the best esti-
mates that number has more than doubled
since the enumeration was made, making
probably 10000 adult foreigners in the Is
land who are the principal property owners,
who manage the business and are the men
of affairs. Various estimates, all the way
from 10000 to 10000, are given of the num-
Der Of Americans. but 1t Is probable that
the total is about 10000 The average
immigration from the United States since
independence has been about 1900 year.
Immigration and Color Line.
The total immigration will average 10000
a year. most of the immigrants being Span
iartls, but this does not represent an equal
increase Of the permanent population, be-
cause many Spaniards and Canary Is
landers come over every year for the sugar
season and tobacco harvest and remain
for seven months, receiving an average of
so a month wages. Their passage costs
them only $40 for the round trip, and they
can live at home on their savings for the
other five months. There are more than
1900 Chinese in Cuba, but the number has
fallen of very largely within the last few
years. Chinese laborers are no longer en-
ployed upon plantations. Nearly all Of
the Chinese now on the island are engaged
in keeping restaurants and laundries and
in similar indoor employments.
The total population OF Cuba by the last
census is 1,572. 1877. Of whom sos, 443 are
negroes. While there Is no color line in
Cuba and whites and blacks live together
in unity. race prejudice is growing. and
recent incidents Indicate the probability Of
similar prejudices to those that exist in the
United States. particularly among the lower
classes. Just now there Is q strike among
the white longshoremen against their negro
associates, who, until q few days ago, had
been employed on even terms and similar
wages and had worked side by side with
white men without the slightest difference
or distinction. Within the last few days
the white Longshoremen's Union has de-
manded the discharge of every negro en-
ployed upon the docks or by the company
which has a monopoly of the lighterage
business in the harbOr. There Is no cause
except prejudice against their color, and it
seems the more unreasonable because
nearly all of the negro longshoremen were
formerly soldiers in the United States army
and came down here to fight for the liberia
ton of Cuba.

Mr.. T. A. Morgan, OF Hammond Ind.
had suffered for years with his stom-
ach and kidneys. and while the great
Root Juice scientist was proving the
merits of the Root Juice remedy TO
the people of northern Indiana, Mr.
Morgan purchased six bottles of the
Juice and while it was being wrapped
up he said: If Root Juice cues me-
| will make the scientist a present of
one hundred dollars" 4 short while
ago Mr.. Morgan called on the scien-
fist and said that he could eat any
thing without the slightest inconven-
fence and that his kidney trouble was
entirely cured. He wanted the scien-
fist TO take the one hundred dollars,
but it was refused. However, it was
agreed to give the money to an orphan
asylum. So Root Juice is not only cur
ing the sick, but in this instance will
be the indirect means of caring for
some dead mothers child. Root Juice
has proved its wonderful merits to
many people of Richmond From the
