When it'was proposed to turn the ne groes as servants out of the Union League Club, New York city. It was an ex-Confederate soldier and a Virginian who stood up for them and prevented their expulsion. Havana Is a badly crowded city. It occupies less space than any city in the United States of equal population. There ere only 95.000 dwellings In Havana, to ’ 250,000 population. That gives nearly len persons to each house. And most of tha houses are one-story affairs, having poor accommodations for numbers of persons. The crowding is believed by certain of the. health authorities to be responsible largely .for the. prevalence of consump tion. Leopold, King of the Belgians, Is known as the "merriest monarch In Europe," not withstanding his grey hairs. Oleo de Me rode, the actress, proposes to lead him a dance through tho courts, with a suit for damages. Cleo says that at his instiga tion she gave up a lucrative theatrical contract to embark in enterprises sug gested by the King, and for which he promised financial backing. One was the opening of an Exposition theater In Farts. When tho time came for Leopold to put up the cash, he failed to make good, with the result that Clco’s enter prises failed and she lost money. Last December Gen. Nelson A. Mile* recommended that the size of the stand ing army be 76,000 men. His Idea was that the army should be established up on a flexible basis, so that It would grow with tho increase In population. Ho made his unit one man for each 1,000 popula tion. The announcement the other day that the President and Secretary Root had determined upon an army of 76,000 Is, therefore, an approval, in part, of Miles’ recommendation—and about tbs first ap proval that has come the lieutenant gen eral's way since McKinley has been Pres ident. Adjt. Gen. t’orbin Is said to have stood out for an army of 80,000; therefore, for, on* time at least, Miles has the hast of his enemy in the bureau. It will be five years, at beet, before New York can secure her proposed forty foot channel. Nevertheless, there is al ready an agitation on the tent of the ves sel owners for the abolition of compulsory pilotage in anticipation of the greater depth of channel. Tha light of shipown ers against pilots Is porenniul; neverthe less the underwriters do not lose sight of the fact that while harbors are growing deeper, so are also the bottom- of vessels. Five years hence, or whenever the forty foot channel shall have been completed, the keels of the ships of that day will cotnc as close to the bottom as do the keels of the big fellows that go in and put of Nsw York now.

From some things which Gen. Wood, Governor General of Cuba, has said since his arrival in this country to introduce to the President the members of the Cu ban Constitutional Convention who went to Washington for the purpose of having a talk about the Platt amendment, it is Inferred that while the Cubans are stand ing out for absolute Independence, they will accept that amendment on condition that Cuban sugar and tobacco are admit ted Into this country free of duty. Of course the President can give the committee no satisfaction in reference to sugar and tobacco. The most he can say Is that he will use his influence In favor of having Cuban sugar and tobacco put on the free list, provided he Is In favor of that policy. It is for Congress to de termine whether our tariff laws shall be radically changed for Cubit's benefit. It is practically certain that Congress will never consent to let Cuban sugar and tobacco come into our market free of duty. Our own sugar and tobacco inter ests are too great to permit of anything of that kind. It was the tobacco Interest of New England and Pennsylvania that brought about a reversal of the Presi dent's policy respecting Porto Rico. It will be recalled that the President said that it was "our plain duty” to admit the products of Porto Rico free of duty after that island became a possesion of the United States. But the "plain duty” policy didn't stand. The tobacco Inter est was powerful enough to have It re versed. So, if a effort Is mode to have Cuban sugar and tobacco came into our market free of duty there will be such powerful opposition that It will fall. The beet and cane sugar interests will unite with the tobacco interest, and the com bination will be sufficient to prevent the opening of our markets to Cuba's prod uct*. Asa matter of fact, Cuba can produce enough sugar and tobacco to supply our market—at least, Cuba and Porto Rico together can. If our markets were made free to them our beet sugar farmers, sugar cane planters and growers of to bacco—that Is, for cheap cigars— would have to go out of business. It is not reasonable to suppose, however, that Congress is going to ruin any class of producers in this country for the purpose of helping the Cubans. This country has spent enough money and sacrificed enough lives already In helping Cuba. It is true that Cuba might close her markets to us, by putting the duties on American goods so high that the entire Cuban trade would go to European mar kets, but there Is very little probability cf her doing thut. The best we can do for Cuba is to favor her as much as we can without injuring interests of our own people. As for the Platt amendment, that Is really for the benefit of Cuba. Without It Cuba would stand a poor chance of having peace. She would be harrassod by European countries whoso citizens holds bonds issued by Spain on Cuban revenues, and she would be in danger all the while from internal dissensions. It may be that the Cuban committee will return home convinced that the Platt amendment Is for the good of Cuba, and that its adoption ought not to be made to depend upon a settlement, satisfactory to the Cubans, of certain economic ques tions. A FAINT-HEARTED DEFENDER. It seems that Mr. Carol Norton, doctor of Christian Science, and member of the lecture board and general authority upon the cult, is not a fighting defender of Christian Science. Upon occasions, when that faith has been attacked and stood in need of a defender, Mr. Norton has been put forward to present the aide of the Christian Scientists. It cannot be said that on such occasions he has made himself well enough understood to satis fy doublers, however much he may have pleased those who have accepted bis views. The Nineteenth Century Club of New York city has members of an Inquiring turn of mind, and they wanted to hear what could be said for and against Chris tian Science. There Is every reason to think they were sincere. Therefore the club invited Mr. Norton to discuss Chris tian Sclnce with the Rev. Dr. Buckley of the Methodist Episcopal Church, North, on last Tuesday evening. Mr. Norton accepted the invitation. The Rev. Dr. Buckley had already accepted. Indeed, he was anxious to meet in debate Mr. Norton or any other defender of the Christian Science faith. But the club was not to be gratified. The Rsv. Dr. Buckley was on hand, but Mr. Norton, ill a nots, excused himself. He said that it was impossible In the time-allotted to him to do Justice to Chris tian Selene®, that in a forty minutes' address he could hardly touch "even the hem of the garment.” * The olub management undertook to get some other one of the Christian Science leaders to take Mr. Norton's place, and failed. The members of the Christian Science organization, who were present on the Invitation of the club, were great ly dlsapjiointed at the refusal of their champions to be present and defend their faith. They were mortified by the Jeers with which Mr. Norton'* note, declining to be present, was greeted. It wa* openly sutd by club men that the Christian Scientist* were afraid to meet an oppo nent of their faith In debate. It Isn't true probably that Christian Science le lacking in defenders, but Mr. Norton's failure to meet Rev. Dr. Buck ley, In accordance with his agreement, cannot fall to Injure the cause of Chris tian Science in New Y’ork city, where there appear* to be great Inquiry con cerning It at present. If It 1* not the policy of the Christian Scientists to defend their faith in pub lic debate* Mr. Norton ought to have said so when requested to meet the Rev. Dr. Buckley. Inate*d of doing so he seem ed eager to participate In the debate. It was only at the last moment that he de cided to camwl hi* engagement.

There appears to be foundation for the report, which has been circulated for sev eral days, that at least four of the lead ing shipyard* of the country are to be consolidated. In our dispatches yester day It was stated that Rear Admlr.il Bowles had been offered a salary of $50,- 000 a year to manage the consolidation. He is now connected with the construc tion bureau of the navy department, and Is, doubtless, a naval constructor of flrst elass ability and an excellent business man, or he would not be offered the po sition. According to the reports the ship yards which will be consolidated will have an understanding with the other shipyards, so that all of them will work In harmony. The leader of this movement to con solidate shipyards says that It is not the purpose to form a trust for putting tip prices, but simply to enter Into an ar rangement by which the plants can be worked to better advantage, if It were the purpose to destroy competition the fact wouldn't be made public. If the shipbuilders still hope for the passage of a shlp-ijubeldy bill they are making a mistake in consolidating their interests or in making any combination that looks like a trust. Last winter, when the ship-subsidy bill was being con sidered by the Senate, it was stated by those who were supporting the bill that It was practically impossible to build ships In this country as cheaply as they can be built in the shipyards of England and Germany. The arguments which they advanced to sustain this statement did not seem to be conclusive, however. Asa matter of fact all of the shipyards seem to have all the work they can do. It may be that they are engaged in the construction of ships that are to be em ployed In the coasting trade, and there fore get bigger prices for them than ships, Just as good and in every other respect just as satisfactory, built In for eign shipyards command. But it does seem remarkable that while our manufac turers of steel and our builders of loco motives are sending their products to all of the markets of the world our ship builders complain that they cannot com pete with those of Europe. It may be that if all the shipyard* of the country combine it will be possible to build ships In our shipyards as cheap ly os they are built elsewhere. If tlyey should accomplish that, there would not be much complaint of the shipbuilding trust, provided, of course, ships for the home market were sold at the same prices obtained for those built for for eign demand, and, provided also, that no request were made of Congress for sub sidies. BABCOCK STILL TALKING. Congressman Babcock of Wisconsin, who put many of his Republican friends on the anxious seat just before the ad journment of the last Congress by bill to take the tariff off of steel products," is back in Washington, and is still talk ing in favor of repealing the tariff where it Is no longer needed for protection. The fact that he Is chairman of the Con gressional Republican Committee gives what fie says more significance than the talk of an ordinary Congressman has. When lie Introduced his bill some of the Republican leaders and newspapers that are in close touch with the steel in terests undertook to bulldoze him Into withdrawing It, but he had the courage to stand firm, and he seems to be glad now that he did. He says that since the adjournment of Congress he has been over a good part of the West, and that everywhere he was commended by both Democrats and Republicans for Introduc ing the bill. The sentiment, he says, is In favor of taking the tariff off of any article which Is produced In this country for less than it is produced In any other. There is no reason why these great com binations of capital should be permitted to charge the home consumer for their products more than they charge the for eign consumer. Steel Is now made In this country at a less cost than in any other. There Is no reason therefore why steel products should be protected. An article that is produced for less In this country than it is produced abroad brings In no revenue through the custom house. There Is no reason therefore, why there should be a tariff duty on that article. There is no dubt that the position that Mr. Babcock has taken is the right one, and his party will have to back him up in it or else the people will turn it out of power. If It stands by the trusts rather than the people the people will put some other party in charge of the government— a party that will look after their interests rather titan those of the trusts. Prof. Marrienberger of the University of Berlin delivered In Chicago the other day a lecture on "Woman." He believes this country will be sent to smash by the women, if we are not very careful. He cautions us against Riving them too much voice it public affairs. They are not con stituted for politics and public offices, he declares. Man judges with hie head, woman with her heart. History shows that countries are always such as their women are. “When Rome had the ma tron* of home as heroines, Rome loved liberty. But when women who had power and ambition ruled in Rome—women auch ns Tullia, Masalina and Agrippina—Sallust tells us Rome could be bought for money.” Upon the whole, the learned professor was quite sure that unless we were very careful In giving power to wo man, she would run our ship of state upon a rock or Into a mudbank. A young man presented himself In Washington the other day to take a SSO --month Job, for which he hud passed the civil service examination. When he had been told what his duties would be. he asked the official Inducting him Into office where he was to board. "Anywhere you please," he replied, "the government has nothing to do with that." "What!" ex claimed the young stranger, "don't the government throw In board with Its Jobs?” "No," "Then I don't want the jot*. Where 1 came from we get to much and board."

He will also be the first Southern student who has finished the required course of study In four years.” It seems that our contemporary was not correctly inform ed with respect to this matter. In the class of '9l, Spencer Cosby of Kentucky, John S. Sewell of Kentucky and James F. Melndoo of Maryland were graduated re spectively first, second and third, and each completed his course In four years. In the class of '93 George P. Howell of North Carolina, a four-year man, took first honor. In the class of '95 Edward H. Schultz of West Virginia stood first and Harry Burgess of Mississippi second, both finishing the course In four years. In the class of '96 Edwin R. Stuart of West Virginia stood first, a four-year man. Among the Southerners w-ho graduated In the class of ’95, all of whom took only four years, were Wheeler of Alabama, Pritchard of Georgia, Fleming of Ken tucky and Brooke Payne of West Vir ginia. The last three cadets appointed from this district, Lawrence J. Fleming, G. B. Pritchard, Jr., and Hugh A. Rob erts, took four years to complete the course. While therefore the work of Mr. Mitchell of Columbus is praiseworthy, it is far from being unique. Mr. Milllon-Dollar-a-Year Schwab, pres ident of the Billion Dollar steel trust, is already following In the foosteps of his friend and benefactor, Mr. Carnegie, in dispensing a part of his fortune. Mr. Schwab’s benefactions, however, do riot go to libraries, but to hospitals and schools. He has lately given snug sums of money to several schools in Pennsyl vania.

Lloyd of Missouri recently told the following story about himself in the cloakroom of the National Capitol: "A minister of the gospel was a in the home of one of his members near Shelbyvllle, where I live. In the course of a conversation between the minister and the lady of the house she expressed herself In strong terms in opposition to lawyers, reflecting severely upon their character and reliability. In fact, she went to the extreme of declaring that lawyers were neither truthful nor tvonest. Later on my name was mentioned, where upon she spoke in very complimentary terms concerning me. This surprised the minister, who exclaimed, 'Why, Sister So-and-So, I thought you had no confi dence in lawyers?’ To which she quickly and naively responded, ‘Oh.

The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.) says: "Writers on the subject claim that every war of any consequence derctly affects practically all people on earth, no matter how far distant they may be from the scene of the conflict. Thus, during the Civil War, for Instance, the cotton mills of England were cut off frdm their sup ply of raw material, and, as a there was a “cotton famine” In Lanca shire, which took on the proportion* of a national calamity. Asa direct result of the Civil War, it has ben estimated that 100,000 workmen tn England, Germany and France were kept out of work con tinuously for more than three years, with much misery and starvation as the result. The brief statement of a single war which lasted four years can give but a faint Idea of the terrible destructive ness of war in every age, and it brings to mind the well-known expression of Gen. Sherman on the subject, that "war is hell." And still the destruction goes on, since the nations of the earth have, not yet reached the idea that the peacemak ers are blessed." The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says; "Ex-Senator Butler, who has been bowled out of South Carolina politics, once more advertises himself aa a supporter of the policy of the administration—lmperialism, steamship subsidy and all. He says that steamship subsidy would tepd to greatly Increase the sale* of Southern cotton goods; there may possibly l>e man ufacturers in South Carolina who believe so absurd a thing. The talk of ex-Senator Butler is one among many Indication* thut the steamship subsidy lobby Is al ready reorganized to make a formidable demonstration upon the next Congre."

Evans, when a young officer, was on the Indian station in the Delaware. With several others he set up a bungalow on shore. He tells, in "A Sailor's Log,” published by the Ap pleton’s, what happened to p. snake charmer that came along: "The unfortunate thought came to one of our men that it would be a good idea to get the Mohammedan drunk to see what he would do; so he prepared a "Bose for him that was very effective. He poured a good stiff drink of brandy into a beer glass, and then tilled it with gin iijstead of water. The charmer took kindly to the drink, and in a short time rolled out of his chair on to the floor very drunk, and was soon fast asleep. The bag of snakes had not been thought of up to this time, but it also fell, and the inhabitants quickly spread over the floor. In the meantime five American officers took to the table, and drawing their feet up carefully, remained there until the snake-charmer off his dose. He snared quietly while the snakes crawled over and around him, but it was a long time before he finally came to himself, secured his pets, and took them away. We did not repeat that experiment.” Rules of Health. Who is that sad, disconsolate-looking fellow? He Is a man who has made a study ot rules of health, says th.e Chicago Post. Whose rules of health? Everybody's rules of health. That’s the trouble with him. He has been trying to live up to them. What does he do? Everything that he is told to do, and when he isn’t doing anything else he wor ries because the rules are so conflicting. And is It undermining his health? Sure. It would undermine anyone's health? What are some of the rules? Well, here are two of them: "Eat only a light breakfast," and “Breakfast should be the best meal of the day.” What are some others? f “Run or waik two miles before break fast,” and "Never attempt to do anything on an empty stomach.” Any more? “Take a cold bath the first thing in the morning," and "Remember the shock to the system of suddenly encountering heat or cold Is very injurious.” Anything else? "Never uee a pillow” and “The most re freshing sleep is had when the head Is somewhat elevated.” Is that all? Oh dear, no. There are hundreds of these rules. For instance: "Do not get in the habit of sleeping in the daytime,” and “Always take a short nap in the after noon;” "Eat only at meal times” and "Eat whenever you are hungry;” "Eat no meat” and “If you woqld be strong eat plenty of fresh meat, “Get up at 5 o'clock every morning" and “Sleep until thoroughly rested, no matter how late it is.” I’m not surprised that he looks haggard and sick.

Those emotional persons who could not bear to give up their dar ling pet even after the animal was stiff in death, and so had it stuffed, have abandoned that process In favor of em balming, and now have the Fido standing on the hearth rug posing a greeting when they return, even if he cannot frisk as in life. Embalming is supposed to have advantages over stuffing, in that the vic tims are thought to look less stiff. Also those persons to whom money is no ob ject, and the preservation of their dar ling is much, must pay a little more for this method, and that is apt to make it more desirable in their eyes. It costs from S2O to S3O to embalm a dog according to the latest process, and he is warrant ed to last indefinitely. It is reported that when thoughtful owners leave town for the summer, Fido, embalmed, is se curely packed away in camphor from the moths, but barring that little detail he is no trouble whatever.—New York Tele gram. —A curious custom prevails at funerals in some parts of Wales, says the New York Tribune. K poor person is hired— “a long, lean, ugly, lamentable rascal”— to perform the duties of sin eater. Bread and beer are passed to the man over the corpse or laid on it; these he consumes, and by the process he Is supposed to take on him all the sins of the deceased and free the person from walking after death. When a sin eater is not employed, glasses of wine and funeral biscuits are given to each bearer across the coffin. The peo ple believe that every drop of wine drunk at a funeral Is a sin committed by the deceased, but that by drinking the wine the soul of the dead is released 1 from the burden of the sin. In some places it is the custom to send to the friends of a family after death a bag of biscuits with the card of the deceased. These funeral biscuits, often small, round sponge cakes, were known as arvei bread, arvel meaning ale. When arvel bread is passed around at a funeral each guest is expected to put a shilling on the plate. —No single feature of our commercial expansion is more striking than the in crease in the per capita revenues of the Postoflice Department. Our Washington correspondent, says the Ne.w York Jour nal of Commerce, has given the proceeds of the sales of stamped paper for twen ty years, but rapid as the growth has been, expressed in annual totals, the rapidity of the growth does not fully ap pear till we compare this evidence of the se made of the postal facilities with the population of the country. In 1801 the sales of postage stamps of every variety amount to 67 cents for every inhabitant, old and young. That was a year of great prosperity; the resumption of specie payments and enormous exports of wheat to Europe gave an impetus to bus iness thnt lasted till the financial disturb ances of 1884. The year IS9O was also a year of prosperity, though not nearly so marked as 1892. In 1890 the sales of pos tage stamps amounted to very nearly 85 cents for every inhabitant: In 1900 it amounted to a little over $1.33. The rev enue from stamp sales was practically three times as large as it was nineteen years earlier, though the population in creased not quite 50 per cent, and the proceeds of stamp sales per capita was very nearly twice as great 1900 as It was In 1881. At the earlier date, too, letter postage was BO per cent, higher than it is now, and the maximum weight for a single rate of postage was one-half of what It is now. —Samuel D. Babcock formerly held the reputation of being director in more cor poration* than any other man In New York, says the New York correspondence of the Philadelphia ledger. His income from director's fees is said to have amounted to thousands of dollars a year. But he no longer holds that distinction. He is still director in twenty-three insti tutions, but more than twenty other New Yorkers now break thait record. The greatest directors in this city and prob ably in the world are Senator Chauncey M. Depew, William K. Vanderbilt, Jsd ward D. Adams and James Btlllman, president of the National City Bank. It doe* not always follow that because a man’s Interests are very important and his power extensive that he is a mem ber of many boards of directors. The richest man in the world. John D. Rocke feller. is director of only three companies, the Standard Oil, the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Company and Chicago Ter ninal Transfer Company. Andrew Car negie, who mtv be said to rank next to 'Mr. Rockefeller, serves in only three boards, blit, then, he is “out of active business” now.
