How Capt. Princetau Died.

Among the latter was Capt Princetau.
He had scarcely got we'll into the air

loosen the belt. however, the gasoline
tank exploded and its contents, turning
TO flames gushed over him.
He did not utter a cry, and when the
wreckage fell TO the ground the captain
was dead. His body was fearfully burn
ed. Capt Princetau probably had been
asphyxiated by the first burst OF the
fame. He was one of the most courage
Gus and capable aviators in the army.
Capt Princetau had been lieutenant
since 1900. and was gazetted captain
in the Official Gazette only yesterday
morning, the decree reading:

Canal employees are given medical at
tention free Of charge and members
Of their families are treated at a NOM
inal cost. An average Of % per thou
sand men are on the sick list on an
average day. This also shows an i'm
provement over former years.
1t appears almost miraculous that
the sick and death rates among the
negro laborers and their families are
not higher than they are. When the
negroes were allowed to leave the san
1tary quarters and go out into the
bush" they escaped the paternal care
Of the sanitary inspectors. But they
are nevertheless protected in a general
way by the relentless war the mos
quitoes. by the strict quarantine
against yellow fever and by the com
pulsory vaccination of every imni-
grant.
One of the greatest menaces to the
health Of the canal workers at the be-
ginning was the wretched condition
OF the cities of Panama and Colon, on
Panamanian soil but at the termini of
the canal and abutting on the Canal
zone. Water was supplied to the peo-
pie Of these cities by caravans Of
dirty people who brought water from
dirty creeks and springs in all sorts
or dirty containers to patrons who
were Indifferent to conditions. A
sewer system was undreamed Of Both
towns were sixteenth century tropical
pest holes surviving by virtue of a
political anachronism, in the twentieth
century. The United States offered to
build waterworks and sewerage sys-
TENS on long-term credits. The offer
was accepted Later the streets were
paved. the houses were cleaned up,
and now both cities are decent looking
and IN all but the lower quarters are
kept in reasonably good sanitary con-
dition
In view Of the fact that the con-
quest of the mosquito has made pos
s1ble the success OF the canal. it is in
terestlng to know that one Of the SOL
diers who volunteered to allow himself
to be bitten by an infected yellow fe-
yer mosquito in Cuba is now working
on the canal. He is John ]. Moran
OF Ohio. After Drs. Carroll and Lazear
had permitted themselves TO be bitten,
and Carroll had recovered and Lazear
had died, General Leonard Wood Of

who would volunteer to submit him
self to the test The first volunteers
were Moran and another Ohio man.
John r. Kissinger. After DR. Reed
had fully explained the risks of terri
bel suffering and of death involved in
the experiment, both men expressed
their willingness to be bitten, but both
refused to accept any pecuniary re-
ward When they did so, DR.. Reed

voice almost failing her.
A warden led her through the end

a room in which no grating separated

To the jailer on duty in the kant

Ivan Petrovitch Smirnoff? WHY.

A terrible cry as of a woman who is
being murdered rang out in the kant
zeIlara, through the long corridors and
reached the cells of the prisoners who
shuddered and wondered what it meant.
Maria StiepanOy mas eyes grew CLASSY,
her arms beat the air and the poor
mother fell to the floor in a deal
faint and lay motionless like a corpse.
Then, cruel smile playing about
their lips, the jailers sent for Ivan Pc

had been anxiously awaiting this mo-
ment. Whom was he to meet Would
1t be his fother or his mother?
AS he entered the kantzelliara a cry
OF terrible pain burst from his lips
when he discovered the pitiful body of
ms mother lying senseless on the floor.

He threw himself down sobbing over

PEACE IN MEXICO.

From St Louis (Mo) Post-DiSpatch.
The resignation Of Diaz marked the
restoration of peace in Mexico. The
revolution has been completely sue
cessful and the cost was small The
fighting was inconsequentiaI There
was only one battle OF Importance. In
that one the success Of the insurgents
resulted in the removal OF the lid.
Stern dictatorship crumbled under the
power OF public opinion when express
sion OF public opinion became possible
Any lingering doubt that Diaz had
any considerable number of followers
or any loyal support is destroyed by
the general rejoicing that his reign
IS ended He was a good man for
Mexico when he came into power He
gave the country a strong government
He encouraged industry and the devel-
opment Of the cOuntry's vast resources.
But with commercial expansion and
industrial progress came the demand
for relief from economic oppression.
for economic opportunity and political
freedom form OF liberty OF which
no cognizance was taken in the Dfaz
scheme Of government. But nations
and people cannot progress along a
single line. Diaz's success was HIS
failure
No more striking instance OF the
= II u 1Ao SpiAAI u democracy IN
Mexico is needed than the ready ac-
ceptance Of the new administration
What remains to be done is a matter
for the ballot box and the chamber
Of deputies.
MaderO is secure In his victory and.
for the time being. in his leadership.
But If he was prompted by selfish am
bition and has visions Of succeeding
to the power and position OF Diaz he
mistakes the plain sentiment OF the
Mexican people. Madero's strength
came from the cause. not from per-
sonal devotion to himself. He may be-
come the greatest man in Mexico, and
perhaps in Mexico's history. but only
II he continues to fight for the de-
struction of tyranny.

steadfastness of a faithful believer IN

himself, as he was sitting in his cell

cruel fate. Il have been beaten in the

only one to suffer I would not mind,
but there are the old folks alone in

is the privilege of every life convict TO
say goodbye to his people, 1 viii put
enough tenderness into this last meet

Great therefore, was his surprise
and sorrow when few days before his
departure, the jailer told him that he
was not to be permitted to see both his
parents, as he had expected, but only
one of them. He thought this the most
CRUEL blow of all How was he to
choose between his father and mother

they read the letter over again that
they realized the painful choice that
they must now take Who had the
greatest right in a case like this, the
