report to the effect that the Maine
was blown up in Havana harbor
by an American who had been con
demned to death by the Spanish, but
won lbs freedom by destroying the
American warship. The spy who

who actually blew up the Maine.
Horace Smith, biographer Of Boynton,
declares the story is false and he can
prove Boynton was in Venezuela at the
time of the explosion.
The Spaniards, said the informer
to Chief Wilkie Of the secret service,
were entirely unprepared for the visit
Of the Maine, which was sent to Ha-
vana suddenly and without warning.
Consequently there was no mine at
tached to the buoy at which she was
moored.
Captain General Blanco and his
STAFF did not relish having a hostile
warship in such an advantageous posi-
tion in the event OF war with the
United States, which they then re-
garded as at least a possibility. and It

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born in Toronto on
Oct. 13, 1908. and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be wa
ter blister would form. When It
broke, matter would run out, starting
new bllsters until his entire face,
head and shoulders were a mass of
scabs and you could not see a par
ticle Of clear skin. other parts OF
his body were affected, but not to
such an extent. We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail, IN
deed some Of them only added to his
suffering and one in particular, the
- Remedy, almost put the infant
into convulsions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told us to
bathe the baby in buttermilk This
did not do any good, so we took him
to a hospital. He was treated as an
out-patient twice a week and he got
worse If anything. We then called
in another doctor and inside of a
week the boy was, to all appearances,
cured and the doctor said his work
was done. But the very next day 1t
broke out as bad as ever.
I'VE decided that it could not be
cured and must run its course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left Toronto and shortly
after our arrival in Duluth, the Cuti-
cura Remedies were recommended.
We started using them in May, 1909,
and soon the cure was complete. You
would not think he was the same
child for Cuticura made his skin per-
fectly clear and he is entirely free
from the skin disease. There has
been no return this time. We still
use only Cuticura Soap for .baby's

than anything among current compost
tions abroad that they are hailed with
wild enthusiasm.
One Of the jokes Of American his
tory is that the first band which is
mentioned as being aboard an Ameri'
can warship was deliberately stolen
! by the commander of the vessel who,
it seems was mighty fond of band
music. This was more than a century
ago. The officer who boldly kidnapped
full-fedged band was Capt Daniel
McNiell, and his good ship was the
corvette Boston, carrying twenty-eight
guns. The Boston had put into an
Italian port for a brief stay and a
band attached to one of the regiments
stationed at that port came aboard to
give a concert. The Yankee captain
was so fascinated with the music that
he forthwith tripped anchor, made all
sail and escaped to sea with the pro.
testing musicians. OF course there
was a big howl over the episode, and
the government of the United States
had to hasten to disclaim all responsi.
bility and send the musicians back
home. The first real worthwhile band
in the American navy was likewise
captured, but the intrepid Decatur
came into possession of this band
through the capture Of British war
ship and then induced the British mu'
sicians to enlist in his service. When
this band reached New York and
marched through the streets at the
head of a procession of Yankee blue
jackets it created a sensation.
The greatest latitude has always
been allowed in the matter of the
uniforms worn by bandmen. Except
in the United States army and navy,
there are no rules or restrictions gov
erning the sort of costumes the musi-
clans shall wear when on parade, and
our private bands have taken adVan'
tage of this license to bedeck them
selves in gorgeous attire. Red and
blue are the favorite colors for band
uniforms-always with as much gold
or silver lace or white braid as the
bandmen can afford-but there are
some bands that in selecting design
for a uniform seem to have been
moved by a desire to have 1t present
as many different colors as possible
Zouave and hussar uniforms have
proven popular with not few bands
and others manage to look very natty
in uniforms Of white duck
Perhaps the handsomest and shoWi-
est of all band uniforms is that worn
on state occasions at the White House
by the Marine band. 1t consists OF
light blue trousers and brilliant RED
coat, literally embellished with black
braid. The mounted bands OF the
United States cavalry are a novelty
and never fail to arouse wonder that
they can give as good music as they
do. considering that each member
even to the drummer, is mounted on
a prancing steed In all bands the
lrum major is the most gaudfly garbed
member of that organization, and
wears a hat designed to make him ap-
pear about eight feet in height in the
eyes of the small boys.

MOTOR cARs IN THE ALPS.


Motorists who desire to include the
most picturesque parts of Switzer
land IN their itinerary have run up
against a dead wall of opposition on
the part Of the people of the canton
which contains the finest Alpine seen
cry including the valley of the Enga-
dine the Maloja lakes, the famous re-
sorts Of Moritz, Pontresna and Davos
and the passes of the Splugen, Malo-
ia and Bernina, says the Pittsburg
Chroniclo-Teiegraph. The question Of
admitting motor cars TO the Grisons
was submitted TO the people by resort
to the initiative, and the result was a
vote Of absolute exclusion. This came
TO pass in spite of the disposition of
the federal authorities to encourage
automobile traffic and the active
work Of the Swiss Automobile club
on the same side. The people, how
ever, were unalterably hostile for the
reason that the Alpine roads are mar.
row and that II motor cars we're ad-
mitted, the use Of those highways
would be fraught with great danger.
Obviously, if the opposition so mani
tested is to be overcome the only
means Of accomplishing this end is
by the widening of the mountain
roads. Here again, however the will
Of the people must be consulted and
the issue is bound to be mighty un-
certain.

Warns Banks Against Lax Operations

CONTROLLER OF FTHE CURRENCY
~ MURRAY has been strolling
through some of the national banks
and glancing over their stock ledg
ers. As result, the banks must do
a little better housekeeping.
In one case the controller spent a
whole day with one of the national
bank examiners in a bank in a middle
west city and personally balanced the
stock certificate book, and although
this book bore the initials Of several
examiners as evidence that at differ
ent times It had passed through their
hands, he found in the book that some
of the certificates bore no indorse-
ments; some were indorsed bu.
the signatures were not Witnessed;
some were indorsed and witnessed,
but were not Cancelled in any way, and
in almost every instance the signature
of the president and cashier on the
face Of the certificate was neither
punched out nor crossed out with ink
or any other material in any manner
Wudl5OthEI.
As a result of the controllers inves-
tigation he issued the following in
structions to all banks:
IAN transfers of stock should be
executed either by the stockholder in
person or by duly authorized attorney.
IN all Endorsements for transfer,
the name on the back of the certificate
must correspond in every respect with
the name on the face and the full
legal name and full address Of the
the number of shares
and the date Of transfer
should be given.
