A Standing Army for Cuba.

Governor Magoon's latest move down
in Cuba is for the establishment of a
Cuban standing army. step which
seems to be taken in large measure as
preparation for the coming attempt
at self government which will soon be
made in the island. When Cuba made
its first attempt at self government
President Palma had no army to de-
pend upon, in fact it was his policy not
to have any army on the island, and So
when troubles came, as they did in
short order, there was nothing LETT for
him to do but to ask for American in
tervention. 1t is evidently the plan
to make the next Cuban republic de-
pend upon its own resources more than
the first one Gid, AID probably the
standing army which will be be-
queathed to il by Governor Magoon
when lie withdraws will be used in self
defence against the revolutionists who
will probably he heard from a little
later.
1t is true that unpleasant talk is be-
ing made regarding some of the Cubans
who have been given high Offices in the
newly established Cuban army, talk
to the effect that some of them have
extremely unsavory records and that
Al, %,r;< &c. .f -frnn nj
selfish type. Perhaps this is simply a
shrewd move on the part of Governor
Magoon to get the possible revolution
airy leaders enlisted in the government
cause, and it will be for future events
to determine the wisdom of such u poll
cy. The cost of maintaining d stand
ing army Will be a heavy one, but Gu
ban finances are in a very SatiSfac-
tory condition and although the United
States has pledged to protect Cuba
from foreign aggression the experience
OF the downfall Of the Palma govern
ment shows that no Cuban republic is
likely to exist there long without d
military force of it's own for police
duties and the suppression CT inevita-
BILE instructions. In the near future
Uncle Sam will give Cuba another
chance at self government. and he
means that nothing shall be long I'M
done which will go toward making the
thing A success

A WarIike Craft Of Peace.

Considering that it was built as a
craft of peace the great liner. st. Paul,
has made a remarkable war record.
Few battleships in any Of the navies of
the world have ever done as much
execution as this great liner. Her
performance in sinking the British
cruiser Gladiator only adds another
chapter to her long record. During the
war with Spain the ST. Paul, it will be
remembered, was utilized by our gov
eminent as a converted cruiser and
during that war her crew sank the tor
pedo destroyer Terror and later She
sailed in and bombarded single-handed.
the Santiago forts. If any one WONDERS
that an ocean liner should sink bat
tleship as the st. Paul did the Gladi-
ator, he should remember that it is the
craft which strikes the blow in such an
encounter which is most likely to es-
cape with little injury. Had the Gladi-
ator crashed into the ST. Paul instead
of being the victim of the collision, it
is likely that the great liner would
nave gone down as promptly as the
battleship did under the circumstances,
and in that case the loss of life would
undoubtedly have been niucl greater.
The good luck of the st. Paul in this
instance is only consistent with the
fortune it has enjoyed Throughout its
notable career.

"SIummjnu,"

The chief OF police of the city of Chi
cage has recently issued Il mandate
which puts an end to the amusement
of "slunming" which has just been
gaining new popularity in that great
city He has ordered the members of
the police force to arrest and take to
the nearest station any party of men
or women caught visiting the tenc-
mcnts of the poor except in business
or charitable causes. A few years ago
this "slurnming' fad had a great run
in the countrys larger cities. but less
has been heard about it of late. At
one time it was one of the chief di-
versions of polite society and men and
women who were credited with culture
and refinement found pleasure in in
vading the tenderloin districts and
prying into the wretched homes of the
most unfortunate classes to gaze at
the spectacles of want, vice and igno-
rance there presented. A well known
woman in New York once said, Il
would rather go Summing than to the
theater; the sights one sees are all so
amusing. so unconventional and so
very real" This remark epitomizes the
spirit I'm which all "slumming'' parties
are organized.
Without considering the rights OF the
wretches that are thus lightly made
10 furnish entertainment for weli-fed,
warmly clad. unsympathetic interlopers
who hire guides to show them the way
and private detectives to keep them
from harm, the reasons for stopping
such methods Of amusement are only
too obvious In most stunning" ex-
petitions are young women whose bet
ter instincts cannot but take harm
from such experiences. In fact. any
Summer man or woman, is sure TO
be contaminated by this kind of con-
tact with the under world: not be-
cause Of what lie sees or hears, but
because of his mental attitude at the
time he sees and hears. 1t is a con-
terrptible practice, and should have
been prohibited years ago.

The international marriages in which
American heiresses have figured
have had all kinds CT sad
and tragic endings. but that
of Miss Shonts. who became a
French duchess in February comes to
a more sudden and unexpected termi-
nation than its predecessors. Accord
ing to dispatches. the dukes death was
due to cerebral embolus. or plugging
up of brain artery. Scarlet fever,
tliphtheria in childhood Of other causes
in early youth sometimes cause in
jury to the valves of the heart. The
extra pressure on the muscles is ac-
companied by fungus growth on the
inside of the vessels. which. while at
tached, is harmless. When for any
cause a bit of this growth becomes de-
tached and gets into the circulation.
the clot travels through the veins until
thew become narrower and narrower
and at last is arrested and plugs the
artery cutting off the blood supply.
This may cause the loss of the use oC
an arm, sight. hearing or any of the
human functions according to the
artery stopped; when it occurs in the
cerebral artery at the base of the
brain, death results and from the news
report this is what happened in this
case. If, as is alleged. the young duke
was q drug fiend, the embolus might
have been caused by an overdose of a
drug which stimulated the heart and
detached the clot. A.sr.
