His satanic majesty may not run all
tba newspapers In the country, but no
one can deny the fact that no newspn
per can be printed without the aid o:
the "devil."
The chief French railroads have re-
moved all the advertising billboarl
from along their routes, so that the
many strangers who visit France thi*
year will be able to scan the beautlc;
of the landscape without Incessantly
being reminded of the vlrtuos of wan
they do not need. Americans wiii
note the reform with pleasure, and
may be moved to say, with Sterne,
"The order this matter better li-
France."
President Frost of Berea College
tells of the success of a Kentucky
mountain girl who taught school in a
particularly unpromising district. A
native observer praised her enthusias-
tically, saying that to look ut her you
would think she was having "tho fin-
est kind of a time." Possibly some
teachers in favored regions mlsa th'j
highest success because to look at
them you would think they were hiv-
ing the worst kind of a time.
Value of Diamonds.—An idea of
the great increase in the cost of dia-
monds Imparted by the labor of pol-
ishing and mounting, as well as by the
profits of traders, may be obtained
by comparing their price at the mines
in South Africa with the prices in the
jewelry shops. A diamond weighing
one carat, mounted in a ring may cost
the buyer $100 or more, but at Kimber-
ley the average value of diamonds Is
only $6.88 per carat. The value, of
course, varies with the size and purity
of the stones, but the total value of
the 22,343 carats of diamonds found
in the Transvaal in 1898 was only
$212,812, an average of $9.82 per carat.
Puerto Rico's exportation of coffee
is larger in volume than that of any
of the other native products of the is-
land, and, according to Oen. Roy
Stone, much of the coffee is sold as
genuine Mocha and Java. The aver-
age Puerto Rican agriculturist, what-
ever his deprivations otherwise, is
usually the possessor of a coffee-patch,
whioh he cultivates, and from which
he secures a sufficiency of the berry to
supply the needs of his family. He
bakes the berries till black, and
pounds them Into powder in a mor-
tar. The beverago resulting there-
from has the color of Ink and the
consistency of broth. Since the close
of the war, some of the natives have
learned to prepare coffee for drinking
purposes after the American fashion;
but most of them practice the ways of
their fathers.
In the light of recent discoveries one
of the greatest wonders of the heaveni
appears even more wonderful. Then
Is a small class of variable stars, lest
than twenty In known number—the
most conspicuous member of which it
Algol, the "Demon" of the Arabs—
which at brief intervals suffer a partial
eclipse from the interposition of dark
or Invisible companions revolving
around them. Mr. Roberts of Cap«
Colony and Mr. Russell of Princeton,
working Independently, have lately
sbown that all of these bodies are sur
prisingly light in their composition,
hardly more than whirling clouds. In
only one case can the limiting density
exceed half that of water, and In si*
cases it Is less than one-tenth that ol
water. The average is one-sixth that
of water. This density these stars can
not exceed, although they may fall fai
below it. The denslty*of our sun com
pared with water is 1.41. The possibil
ity exists that the Algol stars may
each have a denser nucleus surrounded
by an enormous cloudy envelope.
The border line between gifts anit
bribery has been so often crossed that
scrupulous officials seldom accept s
gift of intrinsic value. A late presi
dent of the United States, who had
nearly two hundred curious and his-
toric canes, used to say that such gifts
necessitated the offer of neither "the
ministry to England nor the post
office at Podunk." Not all gifts, how
ever, are of suspicious complexion
For example, the check of one hun-
dred thousand dollars recently sent to
the president of a street railway com-
pany by certain prominent members ot
the corporation was a notable token of
their trust in his integrity and of theii
appreciation of.his devotion to the in-
terests of the corporation and the pub
lie. The gift is probably the largest
ever made by a corporation to a single
salaried officer. That the recipient not
many years ago was a brakeman, and
that he owes his permanent advance-
ment to no influence but his own in-
dustry, ability and faithfulness, is suf-
ficient protest against the too common
assertion that boys of today have "no
chance."
The reciprocity treaties recently ne-
gotiated by the executive have not
found favor with the senate. In th
case of the arrangement with the Ar-
gentine Republic the time limit fixed
within which the treaty must be rati-
fied passed without action by the sen
ate. Those with England relating to
tfie West Indies would have lapsed in
the same way had not the British gov-
ernment agreed to an extension of the
time. The time limit in the French
treaty was March 24, but it was ex-
tended with the consent of the French
government
Fill Week Wm m Ac I It* One In (he
Philippines—Native* Destroy Railroad.
Manila, April 28 —Last week was one
of the bloodiest of the war. Since tho
first day's fighting around Manila, au-
thentic reports, mostly official, nhow a
total of 878 Filipinos killed, 12 officers
and 244 men captured, and many more
wounded. Considering that tho Fili-
pinos entirely lack hospital facilities,
a great majority of the wounded will
die. Probably tho week's work fin-
ished 1,000 Insurgents. The American
loss was nine killed juid sixteen wound-
ed. Two sergeants and one private
were killed In ambushes while escort-
ing provision trains.
The Insurgents have been aggressive
In almost every province of Luzon.
General I'lo del I'llnr's band, number-
ing 800, which was out. of sight for
three months, the leader being report-
ed killed, hns reappeared In Its old field
about San Miguel.
Pilar Is supixwed to be again In com-
mand. He gave the American garrison
at San Miguel, consisting of three
companies of the Thirty-fifth infantry,
with a (tutliug, a three hours' fight
during a night attuck. The loss of the
insurgents In this engagement Is not
Included In the foregoing total, as they
removed their dead nnd wounded, but
presumably It was considerable.
Twenty-two Filipinos In the province
of Santangas attacked Lieutenant
Wende, who, with eight men, was
Scouting near San .Tose. The lieuten-
ant and five men were wounded and
one private was killed.
Sergeant Ledolus of the Thirty-fifth
infantry was badly wounded in an
ambush near Ballung. Lieutenant
Batch of the Thirty-seventh Infantry,
with seventy men, had a five hours'
fight with 400 Insurgents in the Nueva
Caceras district. Twenty of the insur-
gents were killed.
Colonel Smith of the Seventeenth In-
fantry, who captured General Monten-
egro and brought him to Manila, Is In
the Isolated hospital, suffering from
smallpox.
Colonel Smith's command captured
180 officers and men with Montenegro.
Montenegro, who was formerly one of
the most dapper officers in the Fili-
pino army, looks worn nnd haggard.
He hays he led a terrible life for
months, and he hns offered to return
to the north with Colonel Smith to eu-
denvor to persuade his former com-
rades of the uselessness of opposing
the Americans.
One hundred escaped Spanish prison-
ers from the province of Tayabas,
South Luzon, have arrived at Manila.
The Insurgents have 400 more Span-
ish prisoners in that district. Recently
the Filipinos destroyed several rods of
the railroad line near Panlquo, in nu
unsuccessful attempt to wreck a train.

BUBONIC PLAGUE IN MANILA.
Fourteen Death* In One Week—Filthy
Chinese Section the Center of Dlieut.
Manila, April 23.—The sudden deaths
of Filipinos nnd Chinamen In Qulapo
Market led to an investigation, show-
ing that fifteen cases of the plague,
fourteen of which were fatal, have oc-
curred within a week. The market is
located in the center of the city. In
black, rotten, wooden buildings, the
keepers of the stalls live with their
families huddled together in great filth.
Some of the victims were stricken and
died within nn hour.
There have been several deaths in
other sections of the city, recently,
which have been traced to Infection
from the market. After nil the market
people had gathered together to-day
the health officers threw a guard
around the buildings nnd will keep the
Inmates quarantined there for a fort-
night. They will then burn the mar-
ket. The total number of bubonic
deaths are 110 Chinamen and 66 Fili-
pinos.
The plague elsewhere has been sup-
pressed. Not one Infected person has
boon in the Chinese district for ten
days past.
FORTY DOLLARS PER PAN.
Rich lied rock Scrapping* In New Alaska
Placer District.
Seattle, Wash., April 23.—A big
strike in which gold running as high
as $40 to the pan was found luw been
mode 100 nilles east of Nome.
This information was brought by J.
I>. Morgan, J. 11. Fredericks and 10.
Erick son, who left Cape Nome Jan-
uary titli. The strike was mnde on a
small creek. The lirst several pans ran
about nnd $35. As bedrock was

Great excitement followed. A stam-
pede lias taken place from Nome, but
only those who were foot-loose took
part in it. the rest believing that they
had as gfMHl property as they wanted.
Mr. Morgan said to-day:
"Capo Nome ami the contiguous coun-
try is richer than people have esti-
mated. There will be this summer the
greatest mining camp the world has
ever seen."
C. P. Dam also returned to-day from
Nome. lie says other new discoveries
of gold have been made at Bonanza,
twenty-two miles this side of Nome,
which promise to outrival the great
gold camp. He says that there is not
enough gold to warrant a big stam-
pede from the states. He says boats
ran probably not reach Nome before
June 1st. on account of the Ice. The
weather when he left was forty below
zero, but February was a mild month.
starvation May Decide Strike.
Chicago. April 22.—Starvation has
ltecome a factor in the building strike.
President Carroll of the Building
Trades Council estimates that 1,000
workmen are in actual want, and that
with their families 4,ii00 persons are
now in the acute stages of suffering
as victims of the strike. The labor
leaders will send out three men to dif-
ferent parts of the country to raise
funds from the working men of other
cities.

bills now before the national congress
intended to benefit the whole West and

lm* on the Nicaraguan canal evidenced
that great Interest which is taken in
that question. There was opplause
throughout, but this was vehement

come "for the United States to build
the canal without asking the consent
of Great Britain or any other European
power."

states here represented are opposed ab-
solutely to any legislation or any action
of any kiud looking to. or hating for
its object the leasing of the public
arid lands of the United States by the
general government, or any agency
thereof.
"Resolved, second, that the present
laws providing for the control, manage-
ment and disjMisal of the public arid
lands of the United Slates are best
adapted to the needs and requirements
of the country, and conducive to the
settlement and occupancy thereof by
bona fide settlers.
"Resolved, third, that If It shall be
found that the present laws affecting
the arid lands are not satisfactory to
the Congress of the United States, then
we favor a cession of the said arid
arid lands to the several states where-
in they are situated, under such terras
and conditions as will guarantee the
Iwnefits of the free homestead laws to
the people of the United States, and
that will prevent said lands, either by

THE CUBAN CENSUS.
Encouraging Fact* Reported—Mora White*
Than IIlacks—One-Third Cm Head
and Write.
Washington, April 20.—The results
of the Cuban sensus are instructive,
and, in the opinion of the War Depart-
ment officials, fully justify the decis-
ion of the administration to allow mu-
nicipal suffrage in Cuba at this early
stage.
The officials are gratified to find that
the native Cubans constitute so large
a portion of the population; that the
whites so greatly outnumber the
blacks, nnd that so large a proportion
of the native population can read and
write. In their opinion there seems to
be no room for the objection that the
proposed basis of suffrage would result
iu turning the island over to the control
of Spain.
The total population of Cuba Is 1,572,-
707, Including 815,205 males and 757,-
502 females. .There are 447,372 white
males and 402,026 white females of na-
tive birth. The foreign white number
115,760 males and 26,458 females. There
are 111,898 male negroes and 122,740
female negroes. The mixed races num-
ber 125,500 and 145,305 females. There
are 14,604 male and 163 female Chi-
nese. The population of Havana City
is 235,981, and of the province of Ha-
vana, 424,804. The population of the
province of Matanzas is 202,444, of
Plnar del Rio, 173,064; of Puerto Prin-
cipe, 88,234; of Santa Clara, 356,536,
and of Santiago, 327,715.
Of the total population of the island
1,108,709 persons are set down as sin-
gle, 246,351 as married, while 131,787
live together by mutal consent There
are 85,112 widowed persons.
Of the total population, according to
citizenship, 20,478 are Spanish, 1,296,-
367 are Cubans, 175,811 are in sus-
pense, 79,520 ore of other citizenship,
and 616 are unknown. The Spanish
by birth number 120,240, Of the chil-
dren ten years of age and over, 49,414
Imve attended school. Of the total pop-
ulation 443,420 can read and write, and
19,158 have a superior education. The
municipal elections occur June 16th.
RAILROADS WILL SUE.
Land Grant Lines Think They Should
Have More ray for Troop Hauling.
Chicago, April 20.—General counsel
of several western land grant railroads
met here to-day and decided upon the
course of bringing suit against the
United States for the recovery of the
vast amounts of money which the
roads claim are Justly due them for the
transportation of troops within the
last two years. They came to the con-
clusion, after a number of conferences,
that the carrying companies were en-
titled to regular first-class rates from
the soldiers, notwithstanding the comp-
troller of the treasury's ruling that the
government should settle for the haul-
ing of the troops upon a party rate
basis.
The general counsel will recommend
to the executive officers of the road
that suit be Instituted against the gov-
ernment with as little delay as possible.
In instituting suit, the Court of Claims
will be ignored, the counsel deciding
that the first active steps should be
taken in the United States Circuit
Court.
Limits Powers of Notaries Public.
St. Louis, April 19.—Judge Adams of
the United States Circuit Court made
an important ruling to-day relative to
depositions taken before notaries pub-
lic.
He held that witness could not be
compelled to testify in such proceed-
ings unless the legal issues had already
been formulated.
Where suit Is merely pending and the
evidence has not been submitted to the
court, a witness, without being in con-
tempt, could refuse to answer any
question propounded. Heretofore e
notary public has exercised the power
of a judge, in thnt he could cite a wit-
ness for contempt, for refusing to an-
swer questions which he held to be rel-
evant nnd competent.
Judge Adams' decision, it Is stated,
is distinctly opposed to that recently
rendered by Judge Lacombe of the
United States Circuit Court of New
York.
Wife Betrays • Husband's Secret.
Chicago, April 20.-Mrs. C. E. Sill of
Braddock, Pennsylvania, while on the
stand in Justice Porter's court, testi-
fying in a case of abandonment by her

with two other men, received $7,000
for betraying secrets of a Pittsburg
steel company, in relation to the al-
leged attempt on the part of the com-
pany to palm off on the government
some years ago defective armor plate.
Sill at the time wns working for the
Pittsburg & West Railway Company,
and, according to the deserted wife, he
was employed by the government in
ferreting out the secrets of the steel
company.

lnburg, In the northern part of Walsh
county, was destroyed by fire to-day.
A south wind aided the flames in quick-
ly spreading aud before anyone was

distance of 200 yards with the result
that the Boers lost five wagonloads of
killed and wounded.
Vanderb It Left Sixty Millions
New York, April 20,—The appraised
valuation of the estate of Cornelius
Vanderbilt is about $60,000,000. The
valuation of properties calculated
from the amount of inheritance tax Is
only $32,000,000.
This Inheritance tax amounts to
$320,272, which has been paid. This
does not include the transfer tax on
the $5,000,000 left to Cornelius Vander-
bilt by his father.
The estate of Cornelius Vanderbilt
was supposed to have been worth at
least $125,000,000. At the time of Cor-
nelius Vanderbllt'8 death, last Septem-
ber, C'hauncey M. Depew estimated
that the entire estate was worth $70,-
000,000.
Because of the government war tax
the filing of the report of the apprais-
ers has been deferred. This tax is two
and a half per cent, on all estates
above $1,000,000. Action in the Su-
preme Court of the United States is
pending, testing the constitutionality
of this federal transfer tax.
Tennessee Republicans Split.

Clam Barton Speaks Plainly.
Chicago. April 21.—The Tribune says:
Miss Clara Barton, president of the
American National Red Cross Associa-
tions, was asked by the Tribune for
an expression of opinion regarding the
story that ineml>ers had torn off their
badges upon their arrival at Pretoria
and taken lip arms for the Boers. She
s« nt the following answer:
"Washington. April 1 .—If the re-
I* rt 1m true, these men have practiced
gross deception, broken a pledge and
violated a confidence which they
sought. The humane world will not
hold them guiltless."
Woman Jump* From Brooklyn Bridge.
New York, April 20.-Miss Mary E.
Dinse of this city jumped from the
Brooklyn bridge at 2 o'clock this af-
ternoon without serious injuries. Many
men have made this leap into the wa-
ters of East river since the bridge was
completed. Most of them have per-
ished. Miss Dinse is the second wom-
an who has ever attempted to end her
life in this way. She is now in the
Hudson street hospital. The physicians
found that no bones were broken, bat
they say it is possible that she has sus-
tained internal injuries.
She was penniless and. It is thought,
insane as a result of financial troubles.
Nt WwiM Cry Every Tim* I WashM

waa 3 meat ha

lsrgs bolls
broke out on
my bsby's
neck. The
aorea apread
down hla
back until It
became a
mass of raw
flesh. When
I washed
and pow-
dered him I ^
would cry, realizing what pain he waa In.
Hla pitiful walling was heart-rending. I
had about given up hope of saving him
when I was urged togive him Hood'i Saraa-
parllla, all other treatment having failed.
I washed the sores with Hood's Medicated
Soap, applied Hood's Olive Ointment and
gave him Hood's Sarsaparllla. The child
seemed to get better every day, and rtry
soon the change was quite noticeable. The
discharge grew less, Inflammation went
down, the skin took on a healthy color, and
the raw flesh began to scale over and a thin
skin formed as the scales dropped off.
Less than two bottles of Hood's Saraapa-
rllla, aided by Hood's Medicated Soap and
Hood's Olive Ointment, accomplished thla
wonderful cure. I cannot praise these
medicines half enough." Mrs. Gucbihot,
37 Myrtle St., Rochester, N. Y.
