PHILIPPINE ARMY 'D0B|E|TCH
Disease Contracted in the Philippine Service itching PimpIes Covered Body T Army Surgeons Failed to Cure = Discharged for Disabll- ity Cured by Cuticura, Now
A FIRM BELIEVER IN
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

t'f enlisted in the Corps of Engineers as telegraph operator, and, while sta- tioned in the Philippines, became sub ject to the "Dobie Itch as the natives call it. In this disease small, white, itching pimples form under the skin, generally between the toes, on the limbs, between the fingers, and under the arms. l never knew of case originat- ing outside the Philippine Islands, but have known of many cases where it has returned in this country and invariably at the same time of the year as the orig inal attack. The cause, so far as | could learn, was some tropical parasite or germ peculiar to that region.
 T got so bad that 1 was confined to my quarters a week at a time. The Army Surgeons applied some carbolic solution, and it would disappear for a time when it would break out again. I was discharged from the Engineers by reason of disability contracted in line of duty, and when l had the trouble again, my druggist, Mir. E., of Brooklyn, recommended Cuticura Rem- edies. The Immediate relief was nani- fest with my first purchase and the malady quickly yielded to the Reme- dies. It has never recurred or bothered me since l began to use and continued to use the Cuticura Remedies. You may quote me as a believer in Cuticura Remedies from personal experience, John s. Woods, 22l Sands St., Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 21 and 26, 1906."

Fine Play by school Children For Free
 Kindergarten.

The operetta, "The Land of Mother Goose" which was given last night at Harmonic hall by forty school children for the benefit of the Water street branch of the Elm City Free kinder garten, won glory for the children, and honor for the coach, Mrs, | M. Ull- man. The play has been worked out with great care, and has great possi- bilities, as last nights performance proved conclusively. The things that belong in Mother Goose land, such as Miss Muffits' spider, the Old Woman's shoe, have been brought here looking as if they had been shipped by the last Mother Goose land express.
 Mrs. Ullman was obliged to respond to a curtain call last night. The whole play so delighted the audience that Mrs. Uilman had to do the honors of the occasion, and thank the large audience for their generous inetrest in the play, and the free kindergart- en. The actors got more applause than many a professional at the Hyperion or the New Haven theaetr

AGREEMENT SIGNED. INCREASE FOR R.R. MEN
 ------ aw Schedule Grants Better Pay to All But Con-
 ductors.

At the conference with General Man ager Higgins of the New Haven road, held yesterday afetrnoon in the rail- road office building, the sub committees of the conductors and trainmen signed the new wage agreement, thus adopt ing the new schedule.
 The new schedule was practically agreed upon last week by both labor organizations and the railroad officials. but the placing of the signatures to the document was not effecetd until yester- day.
 The new schedule gives advances of ten to twenty-five cents a day to the trainmen of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad. The com pany has decided not to allow an in crease to the conductors, however, ex- eept in few instances but the train- men, in addition to the wage already cited, will have a better concession of working hours.
 The figures for the trainmen are as follows; Assistant passenger conduct ors, $3 aHday; baggage masters, $40; passenger bfakenen, $2,25; way freight conductors, $370; through freight con- duotors, s3s5; way freight flagmen, S275 way freight brakemen, $2.65; through freight fiagmen, $2.35.
 These are commented on as being the most favorable east of the Mississippi. In eight-hour freight yards conductors will get s245 and the brakemen $40. In the ten hour yards the conductors will get S250.
 It is almost certain that 1t will be near the end of the month before the railroad men conclude signing the schedule This schedule will effect about 10000 employees.

twice won the Thatcher prize in debate and was leader of the team which de- bated against Princeton this year. His speech last night was fine in conception and was delivered in a clear, emphatic style.
 Albert Billings Ruddock of Chicago spoke on the topic of public service urdar the title of "The Greek Ideal of the Citizen" He said the Greek citi- zen had always been the ideal of all civilized countries. That ideal includ- ed development of the individual, personal service of the state and deep respect for law, He applied this ideal to America of to-day and found the citizen wanting in all three. He said it was only when we recog- nize the Greek ideal that our govern ment could be called good. Mir, Rud- dock has done much work in debating and last year he was one of the Ten Eyck speakers chosen from the junior class.
 Howard Francis Bishops speech on 'The Disestablishment of the Church of France" was notable because of ex- cellent composition. He spoke of the necessity of the change in France; that the disesta blishment was an un- holding of Christianity in it's true sense and that France would only thus be freed from atheism which has threatened her,
 Edward Henry Hart of Brooklyn had an excellent speech, but, because it
 was too long did not get to finish it..
 His subject was ''Beawulf, the Anglo Saxon Hero" He said that this hero of the first song of any English bard
 was destined to be the hero of all times for English speaking. He was the strong man and at the same time the
 unseltish, noble man. MT, Tart was | done good work before in speaking. He
 was on this years Harvard team and
 has won the Thatcher debating prize.
 Clarence William Seymour of Gran | by, Conn, spoke on "The American Occupation of the Philippines" He confined himself wholly to the facts of America in the Philippines, supporting the theorem that American occupation
 was the best thing for America and for the Philippines. He had strong speech and delivered 1t we'll.
 "The Essence of Socialism as point ed out by Marshal Johnson Olds. was the regulation of unlimited competition for the protection of the weak. Upon this definition he declared that all re- strictive legislation was soclallstic. He had much to say against the individu- alistic system and much to say In favor , of Karl Marx and soclalistic doctrines. But he said he was not preaching for the destructive socialism of the street corner but the socialism that will come
 of itself in the natural course of events.

 MT. Richardson, who opened the ar gument contended that the indictment was lacking in particulars; that it left the defendant in the dark as to the nature of the case to be presented against him. and the defendant was entitled to more specific showing of the case. He submitted an extended brief, citing a great many authorities and precedents in favor of his conten- ton.
 MT. Borah, in reply, declared that the defense was seeking a disclosure of the proof in the hands of the state, rather than more perfect pleadings, and asserted that the reports contain ed no single authority that would sup port such contention.
 MT. Darrow, who closed the argu- ment, began by saying that it was the purpose of the defense to obtain dis closure of the evidence in the hands of the prosecution, and asked why the de- fense was not entitled to such a show ing. He made a spirited attack on the attitude of the prosecution towards it's witnesses and evidence, describing it as mysterious, unfair and unjust. He asserted that the only question involv- ed was one of fairness and justice to the accused; laid stress on the diffi- culty of procuring testimony from dis tant points and the danger to the de- fense of surprise" testimony, and pas sionately asserted that the rights of the prisoners were as much in the hands of the prosecution as in the keeping of the defense.
 In answer to Judge Wood, Mir. Dar- row said that the defense was not ready to go to trial, but MT. Richard son interrupted him to make the quail ification that the defense was as ready as it ever could be In the circumstances where the case of the state was with held from it. He said that Ln all other respects the defense was reaqy.
 MT, Richardson, responding in brief to the argument of Mir. Borah, said that the counsel for the state made no distinction in his arguments between the overt acts which the state would seek to show against the prisoner and the evidence by which it would seek to show the commission of the. alleged overt acts. The defense wished to know what the overt acts were.

ARITHMETIC AND FOOD.
School Children Must Be Well Fed.


 A young girl in Newport, says no one has a better right to speak of Grape Nuts food than she.
 T was in school, but in poor health, until Mamma began to give me Grape Nuts food. I began to improve at once, both mentally and physically, and l Improved so in my work at school that I got 100 in arithmetic, and during that time I gained 3 or 4 pounds in weight and am still gaining.
 "There is no one who has 6 right to recommend the food more highly than I. Mamma neglected to supply it for about three weeks, and I began to fail in health so I commenced the use of the food again, and now l don't in- tend to do without Grape-Nuts." It is well for parents to know that Grape-Nuts food contains selected ele- ments from the grains, prepared and cooked in such a way as to present these food elements so that they can be quickly digested and assimilated; the phosphate of potash obtained from the field grains, and contained in Grape-Nuts unites with the albumen of food to quickly rebuild the gray matter in the nerve centres and brain.
 It is of the greatest importance that growing children and students be given food that sustains both brain and nerves. There's a4reasons Read the little book, fThe Road to WellYille," in pkgs

ROGER HULL WINS
 DE FOREST MEDAL Prize for His Speech on Oregon " in Annual
 Contest. PUBLIC SERVICE IDEAL Six Yale Seniors on Social and Political Sub
 jects.
PUBLIC SERVICE IDEAL

Roger Benton Hull of Greenfield, Mass, was awarded the DeForest gold medal in the Townsend DeForest prize speaking at Lampson lyceum last night. The contest is open to seniors of the university and the award of the medal is one of the highest honors of the academic department. The six men who spoke last night had been awarded the. Townsend premiums in a contest held few days ago.
 The DeForest speaking has in past years been a part of the commencement exercises, but this year it was thought that more interest in it among under graduates could be gained by giving it q place aside from the busy time of commencement. The plan was not wholly successful as the audience was only small one. The criticism is often heard around Yale that the interest in public speaking is dead Rhetoric in- structors and leaders of the Yale union are fond of pointing out the work of the old debating societies and the gen. { lal undergraduate enthusiasm for Nspeech- making. Nowadays the number of men who go in for speaking is small but the narrowing limits have had a good effect in concentration in that a few unusually good speakers come out of every class. In the opinion of one rhetoric instructor who has had long experience In Yale oratory the stand ard to-day is higher than for many years and the contests better than used < to be expected.
 The nnForest speaking last night seems to indicate this improvement in speaking even if public interest is found wanting. The general tone ot the speeches, too, coming from men who have almost completed their col lege course might be taken as indica- tive of Yale ideals. President Hadley has often spoken of his ideal of Yale as a place for training minds for use ir the public service The speeches las night without exception were along the lines of appeals for high political ideals and in two the ideal of public service was the main theme.
 The first of these two was the speech of MT. Hull on Oregon" which wa' awarded the prize. Mir. Hull showed that Oregon was monument to a mar who followed the ideal of public ser vice-Dr. Marcus Whitman. He was 2 missionary, about whom there are few facts and many legends. But it i' known that he was the first pioneer who went to the new country with tht set purpose of saving it for the United States. He practically gave his life tC the work and MT. Hull said he should receive honor despite the fact tha many of his deeds cannot be historic ally verified. Whitman might be com pared to mythical William Tell in that his actual deeds are unknown, but his work great for his country MT Hull has been successful as a speaker al Vale for the past three years. He has

E0NGSHORENEN'S STRIKE. 5000 MORE MEN QUIT Sudden Extension of the Trouble at Big New
 Docks.

New York, May 6-The 'Iongshore- mems strike which has been on for a week in Brooklyn, was suddenly ex- tended this morning when a number of men employed on the docks on the Hudson, both in New York and Hobok- en, left their places. It is estimated that about 5000 men went out to-day.
 The strikers claim that tomorrow several thousand more will quit and that within forty y-eight hours there will not a longshoreman at work except for companies which grant the increase in wages demanded The men ask for forty cents an hour for ordinary work, sixty cents for overtime and eighty cents for Sundays and holidays. At present they receive thirty-fve, fifty and sixty cents
 On the other hand, the dock superin- Itendents of the lines, particularly the great transatlantic lines, which are affected, say that under no circum- stances will they grant the demands of the men. They say the demands are exorbitant and that plenty of men can be had for the old scale.
 But in the meantime the companies have their f1remen. stewards and crews at work loading freight. It is said that none of the big liners will be delayed, talthough some of them may be forced to sail without full cargoes. The only Important delay so far has been in the lease of the steamer Kroonland. which was scheduled to sail Friday but did not get away until to-day M
 | The first lines to be affected by the extension of the strike to-day were the Phoenix and the Holiand-American The strike at these docks was quickly followed by several hundred at the piers of the French line. It is also re- ported that the American and Red Star line men quit work and that there were also strikes at the piers of the Morgan line.
 There are number of big liners in port including the Kaiser Wilhelm der 1 Crosse, of the North German Lloyd, the JTmbria and Coronia of the Cunard line, the Georgic and Baltic of the White Star, La Savoie of the French line and several others
 The strikers were jubilant tonight and said that they were sure to win as | they were already delaying the sail ing of some of the largest liners. They also said that the companies would find it impossible to replace them with skilled men and that unskiHed men will prove useless.
 On the other hand the superinten- dents of the various docks state that 4 they are already employing men and I that within very short time they will have all that they need. About sixty | strike- breakers went to work in South \ Brooklyn, where the strike originated i to-day, So far the strike has not been marked with any signs of violence, all 1 though there were many threats at 1 IIoboken to-day and a large force of policemen was sent to the docks to \ prevent trouble.
