From the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. “If the United States’ does not come to the help of this people more than 10), of them will perish in a month.” This is from a letter written by an American citizen living in the province of Santa Clara, Cuba. The horrors of Wey- ler's concentration policy have been pie- tured in strong colors, but it seems 2s if the worst has not yet been realized. “In the beginning of the concentration,” this American’ writes, “the people driven into the towns were occasionally allowed to go to the country on passes and search for food to bring back to camp. Having such they sometimes escaped the notice of the scouting parties. Now, how- ever. the Spanish columns have received orders om Weyler to shoot ar one, whether furnished with a pass or not, f&herever found outside of the concentra Or ps. T will give you an example of | the operation of this new to show how it works. The little town of Mata is tuated near the’ rallread: tt had in time peace about 100 inhabitants and four sto Under cor wiration 2,4") reconcen- trados have be collected there. Some of the vinfortunate pacifieos brought with them from their farms a yoke of oxen or a when they were forced into camp rs order. These animals have appeared. Most of them were taken b the Spanish soldiers and killed for meat. It is the practice for the nish officers to take eattle from the p cos to feed the army. to ay the owners nothing and to charge the government as if they had ac- tually purchased the supplies. “Into this town of Mata recently marched the Heutenant colonel of the Zaragoza battalion, driving before him fifty paciticos. These people had been given passes to 50 out and get some tomatdes.” The lieuten- ant colonel sent for the military command- ant of the camp and wanted to know how it was he had let the people go outside of the lines. The commandant’s reply was that he had orders from Gen. Weyier to let them go out to get tomatoes, us they were dying from starvation. Thereupon the lieutenant colonel told the commandant that he had orders from the same Weyler te kill any ene he found out of town with or without a pass. He advised him to let «© more people go out of town, saying he would kili all he found. Now, imagine if you can how much longer will those people be © to survive under these conditions. | If the United States does not come to the | help of this people scon more than 100,000 ; of them will perish in a month. More than | twenty are dying daily now in that camp at Mata from disease and starvation. The same thing is happening in the other towns The thing is. How long can the American government suffer this situation te continue? The deaths in this part of the island number 144+ a da eae TOWS HEROIC RESCUE. te Save the Fire Extin- guishers.

From the Methedist Protestant We have no intention to be personal. We have no one in mind in what we in- tend to say: but occasionally we hear of & minister whose house is neither orderly nor clean. The furniture is broken, the floor unswept, ths ceilings covered with ecbwebs, the idren unkempt and un- th and everything wears an air of slov- «nliness that makes the place uninterest- irg, if not actually repugnant. When a Preacher has a slovenly wife, he is to be pitied, because he has a millstone around his neck that may not sink him; certainly it Will constantly embarrass him and be in his way.

NSC . he finding of a considerable quantity of Cavulen, nid coin on the old Potter farm about three miles from Wilmington, Del., nas caused eomsiderable excitement among the residents of McKee’s Hill. wes at A colored man work in a meadow on the farm when his shovel turned up a piece of yel- low metal. which, upon examination, proved e a $20 gold piece. Although excited, e man kept on digging until ae had un earthed several more golden coins. Then John Banks and George Clymer, seeing his ant thought he had gone stark mad d went over to the fleld where he was digging. They also were amazed at the overy of gold. and the three men were rewarded by finding about $1,000 in gold. ‘The money was chiefly in denominations of S and $10 and gave eviderce of exceiient preservation. The fact that the coins bore dates ranging from 1830 to 1850 led some to believe that the farm laborers had dis- covered one of the places where John Hare, the noted highwayman aid robber, se- creted his ill-gotten gains years ago. ‘Hare THE NEW FIELD FOR K-RAYS. France's Scheme to“Use’ Them in the Customs Service, From the New York Sun. Several months ago the French govern- ment began a series of experiments with the X-rays with the object of learning whether or not these could be employed to advantage In the customs service--particu- Jarly in the examination of small parcels coming into France through the packet post. These experiments have proved so satisfactory that more are to be tried soon on @ more extensive scale in the regular working of the service, and, should they be found practical, all travelers’ baggage and imports of general merchandise coming into France will be examined in this way. * The apparatus used in the experiments, according to the statement of George Pal- lain, director general of customs, was the ordinary Crookes tube, with fluorescent screens to receive the images projected. M. Pallain is not a scientific man, and his explanation of the experiments leaves much to be desired, but at the present stage of ‘the work he declines to be more explicit. He describes the apparatus used, in a general way, to be a machine some- thing In the form of a large opera glass, the circular ends of which were fitted with the flourescent screens. The object to be examined was placed between the Crookes tube and the large opera glass. “The result,” says M. Pallain, ‘twas as- tonishing. The first thirg I looked at was an ordinary box of cigars, wrapped in heavy paper. I was able to see them dis- tinctly. and to count them, first on the top layer and then on the en Afterward we placed a plush arm chair in position, and I was able to See the interior, springs and all. Last, we took a small box that had come by packet post: it was tightly sealed, and the X-rays disclosed the fact that it contamed a pair of sleeve bu:tons, which were perfectly distinct. “The practicability of this mode of ex- amination is what mckes the experiments so valuable. The arparatus used ts simple in construction, easily manipulated, and avick in results. The cperation requires but a few minutes, and it may be conducted in any room which may be made semi- dark. In the room which we bave used for experimenting we didi nothing in the way of preparation but draw the curtains. “It is undoubtedly true that smugglers and other evil-disposed persons would be able to circumvent the certainty of detec- tion of contraband articles in trunks and Packages by such an examination: but that does not disturb us, because, should we adopt the X-ray method, it will be merely used as an aid, and-in no sense re- garded as determinative and infallible. At present, for instance, our inspectors are obliged to open everything. This takes a reat Ceal of time, and makes trouble for officials and travelers alike; and, even at the best, such an inspection must he very cften superficial. Now, that is just where the new method comes in. Every article of baggage will first be subjected to the X- then, ff the rays disclose nothing, the ticle will be passed without opening. If, on the other hand, the rays disclose duti- able articles. or evidences which are sus- picions—and I believe that any agency which smugglers Would use to render the trunk impervious to the raj uld of it- self necessarily look suspictous* when out- lined on the fluorescent screens—that trunk or package will be opened just as it is now. So you sce, after all, the device is mainly a labor saver. At the same time it will make the irspection much more thorough, because even the expert fingers of a cus- toms inspector do not always land en the contraband article, and as for his eyes, the X-rays cre so far the only spectacles with which one may look through wood and | pasteboard.” M. Pallain’s apparatus ts now being placed in the customs reoms of several of the larger railway stations, and, providing that further experiments prove its practicabilit it will be adopted generally by the custom: service. JUST +o E CHEE: CUT Building Stene Which Can Be Quar- ried With a Hands From the Pittsburg Dispatch. Nature has made it easy to build houses in Bermuda. The entire group of islands is made up of coral rock, so that every man n have a quarry in his back yard if he cares to Cig deep enough. This stone, when first cut, is soft and white, so that it “cuts like cheese,” like the wood of the famous “one-hoss shay,” and can be got out in square blocks with an ordinary hand saw. On exposure to the air, however, it soon be- comes dark, and hard enough to break the teeth out of the saw that cut it so easily from its bed. As there is no lumber in Bermuda except that which is brought from Canada at considerable expense, stone !s used for nearly the entire house. The wails are id Of blocks about eight inches by six, and two feet in length. Window sills and door jams are also sawed out of stone in the proper shape, and even the roof is cov- red with stone shingles, which are made y simply setting a block of soft, fresh stone on edge and sawing it into thin slabs. Both roof and walls have to be kept whitewashed, or the stone would crumble ard as it finally becomes; but wit! precaution it lasts a long time. There is an old coral stone house on Harrington seund which is considerably over two hundred years old. Coral islands are formed by the coral polyps, or insects, which build up reefs to about the level of the sea and then dle. On the rough surface of these reefs seaweed clings. The wind and the waves work to- gether to grind up their substance and pile it in heaps of sand, which finally solidifies into the rock which-can be cut so easil The freshly broken stone makes admir- able road material. Even the Tubber tire of a bicycle will crush a piece of it flat, nd the rain soon solidifies it In that shape. so that the whole roadbed, new stone and old together, becomes like a smooth track cut in solid rock. —+ e+ ttle City Garden. ‘w York Times, There ts a prefty ttle garden on 111th street which attracts the attention of every passer-by. There is a row of houses on the street, all-very much alike, little white cottages, with a piazza in front of each, and a front yard, which is not to be seen in many city lots. The particular yard which attracts so much notice ts filled en- tirely with flowers. It is a solid mass of blcom, even the sides of the fence, the piazza. and the steps leading up to it are so full of plants that it fs impossible to enter the house by that door. The place belongs to a German family which has been in this country for many years now. Its members were fond of flowers in the old country, and the liking continued here. The husband built a lit tle greenhouse back of the house, and gr: ually the number of flowers increased, and = they did so it became natural to supply the neighbors with flowers. Now, for the last ten years every spring and summer a large stock of planis is taken in, the whole yard filled with them, and a regular flor- ist's business is done ‘on a small scale by the woman of the house. It ts uot much trouble. it 1s a constant delight to the flower lover, and that little yard 1s an or- nament to the street. From the fences on the three sides of the yard there are brilt up nigh, strong wire screens and a movable one closes the gate, so that the marauding small boy is kept out in the d@cytime and the more serious marauders at night. In the winter the more perisha- ble plants are disposed of and only palms are Kept. It is a pretty kind of “woman’s work at home.” ———_-e+___ The Greatest Park in the World.

On the other side of the Atlantic, in the German capital, Miss Maud Durrant has for two years been waiting to know the fate of her only brother. Little has been said of this sister, far off in a foreign land, and only the most intimate friends of the Durrante have realized the extent of her suffering. E There has been considerable sukmise as to why she did not hasten home immediate- ly after the arrest of her brother, some time during the trial, or after the sen- tence. The Durrants have been careful from the first to keep their daughter in the background, screered from the public view. Even the close friends of the family are unaware what course the daughter will pursue if evetything shall go against the son. It is the general belief that Miss Dur- rant will not return if her brother goes to the scaffold; that she will stay in Berlin and perhaps never come back. The truth is that the sister across the water has never for a moment thought of neglecting her brother if it shall become necessary for him to give up his life. Miss Durrant intends to be here to give her life- long comrade all the support and affection a sister can give at such a time. “Mamma, mamma,” she has kept writing, “if it comes to the worst send me word in time. Don’t leave it until it is too late.” At first the parents opposed the return of their daughter. They feared the nerv- ous strain, the terrible shock, would be too severe a tax on her health. They ad- vised her to remain where she was. But in her loyalty to her childhood playmate, Miss Rurrant threw advice to the winds. “If it comes to the worst I shall go home to my brother,” she wrote; “I could not be satisfied otherwise.” So the parents consented. The money for her fare was forwarded to Germany, and several times during the past few months Miss Durrant has packed her trunks and prepared to start for home. Each time she was prevented by favorable news from her parents. The young lady has been in constant communication with her parents by post and cable since the first day of their great sorrow. Mr. Dur- rant has prepared two special cablegrams, and the daughter understands her move- ments are to be guided by them. One reads: “Everything favorable. Stay where you are.” The other is: “Come home im- mediately. Will telegraph you at New York. Alone in a great city, at a time she should have heen surrounded by loving friends, Miss Durrant experienced the in- tensest form of sorrow. No one in the gay German capital knew at first that the beautiful American girl who was studying at the Royal High School of Music was the sister of the San Francisco medical student charged with the Emmanuel Church mur- ders. For a time the girl guarded her se- cret well. She dreaded notoriety, and she could not bear to have any one know that her brother was accused of diabolic crime. However much she grieved in private, she kept up bravely before the world. But it was not long until every one in the Amer- ican colony in Berlin knew of Miss Dur- nt's sorrow. She had many sympathiz- ut she wv rved about her brother and people respected her disinclination to k on the subject. It was not until the Supreme Court rendered its adverse judg- ment that tne sister broke down and open- ed her heart to her friends. During her two years’ residence In Berlin Miss Durrant has become a favorite in German as well as American social circles. She is a bright, atttractive girl, with win- ning manners and a genial disposition. She is of the blonde type and is considered beautiful of form and face. When scarcely five years of age she displayed unusual musical talent. She had to be lifted on the Piano stool, but when once there she stayed for hours, playing popular airs by ear and improvising little melodies. Before she went to Europe she composed several very pretty ballads. The young lady is now in the last term of her second year at the Royal High School of Music. It 1s her in- tention to take a four years’ course. Miss Durrant is accomplished in other lines than music. She is something of a sketch artist and 1s an expert at wood carving. Througn all the dark days the Durrant family has passed during the last two years the sister has never wavered in her faith that her brother is innocent. And what 1s the cheering message she sends him? “Ihave as much love for and confidence in you today, Theo, as I had the morning I kissed you good-bye and whispered, ‘Be @ good boy, dearie, and be sure you gradu- ate” HE RUINED THE Result of a Banker's Son Enlisting in the Army. San Franciseo Letter. The only son of a rich banker in Denver made an unwise marriage a few years ago, and to wriggle out of the responsibility of it after his people had abandoned htm, he enlisted in the army. He was a profictent cornet player, and was, therefore, assigned to one of the infantry bands as a musi- clan. His people in Denver were so pleased with the young man for having adopted this novel method of getting rid of the obligation to live with the woman he had married that they sent him all the money he asked for. The band to which he was attached was at Angel Island, an hour's run by boat from San Francisco. The young man from Denver proceeded to make life bearable, not to say hilarious, for his fellow wind-jammers. He didn't do this in the post, and thereby make himself and his “swaddies" liable to get into trouble. His original liberality took the form of providing an average of three banquets a week in San Francisco for his fellow mu- siclans. He saw that they were all provid- ed with evening sults, which they donned after reaching San Francisco from the is- land, and he acted as master of ceremonies BAND. j of the revels, which took place in a private supper room in one of the best hotels in the city. By the time the young man from Denver had been at Angel Island for a couple of weeks the officers of the post be- xan to notice that the band was furnish- ing music of an exceedingly inferior qual- ity. A few weeks later the whole band re- turned to the post on the government boat on a morning after a regular banquet night in such a condition that the music the band furnished for morning guard mount was like that heard In a Chinese theater, and the adjutant ordered them all in arrest. The Denver recruit's connection with the exceedingly evil music could not be official- ly traced, although the officers, of course, knew al! about it, and so nothing could be done to him. The band was disciplined, with little or no effect. The music re- mained atrociously bad, and the musicians began to grow so stout that some of them could barely waddle. Then the officers of the post, including the commanding officer, an exceedingly pompous old gentleman, who is now a brig- adier general, began to run across the Denver recruit, done up in the height of well-fashioned evening clothes and glitter- ing with diamonds, every time they went over to San Francisco for a night at their clubs or functions. This was unendurable. ‘He is only a soldier, you know,” said a young officer, expostulating about the mat- ter. ““True,” was the reply; “aren't you?” ‘Three months after the young man had joined the army he received his discharge “without honor,” whereafter the music of the band soon became fit to be heard, and the officers met the Denverite in the draw- ing rooms of San Francisco, no longer as a cornet player in a regular army band, but as a harum-scarum young civilian against whom was pending a sensational divorce sult. see It matters little what it is that you want whether a situation or a servant—a “want ad. in’The Star will reach the person who can fill your need. —__.—_—— AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c.
