The Aevald--Review. Ly E. Kiley. SOTA. MINN. GRAND RAPIDS - Let us hope that the advent of coid weather will also put an end to the “yellow” fever that has recently been raging in New York journalism. Those Andree pigeons showed ‘re- markable discretion in landing ig the Indiana gas belt just at a time wen other news was mighty scarce and the correspondents were starving. Somebody dropped $3,000 in a Niag- ara Falls hotel the other day and for- got to return for it. Don’t worry; some hackman, if he notices his loss, will stroll in and claim the money one of these days when he isn’t busy. Weyler said some time ago that the ‘case against Evangelina Cisnoras was in its preliminary stages. At that time the young lady had been in jail eleven months,the companion of vicious wom- en, half starved, and subject to the ut- most degradation. There is enough in these facts to warrant the interference of every government and every man and woman having respect for common decency. Assassination and worse out- rages are not war, While the state legislatures of this country have been coping with milli- nery matters in the way of theatre hats and feather trimmings the French government has recommended that its horses be put into sunbonnets. The straw manufacturers have been doing a large business in consequence, and summer mortality among horses has largely decreased. The amusement awakened in the beholder at this 0cé gear is but an echo of that a century ago when men first appeared carrying umbrellas. . It is painful to read in the New York fAvening Pest (owned in England) day after day that the people of Europe look with unutterable scorn upon ev- erything the people of this country do, themselves or through their represen- tatives, and with effusive affection up- on everything they unhappily omit; and the more so because the only pos- sible remedy is the impossible one of immediately dying in the vain hope of getting themselves born again in some of the many European styles all of which are the only orthodox things. According to reliable statisticians, since 1873 there have been cut in Mich- igan, Wisconsin and Minnesota alone, 154,000,000,000 feet of lumber, board measure, besides 83,000,000,000 shingles and in the last three-fourths of that period about 200,000,000,000 feet, tak- ing the whole country together. New York and Pennsylvania have, next to the three states just mentioned, large quantities of standing coniferous tim- ber, and the amount left in the north- ern states is estimated at about 100,- 000,000,000 feet, or half as much as has been cut since about 1873, in the whole country, and yet there are persons who profess to see no reason for national forest protection and forest reserves. A Russian journal that has recentl; come under our notice calls attention to the fact that for some twenty years past the inhabitants of a malarial lo- cality in the government of Kharkov have used powdered crabs with great success in the case of fevers. The pow- der is prepared in the following way: Live crabs are poured over with the ordinary whisky until they get asleep; then they are put on a bread pan in a hot oven, thoroughly dried and pul- verized, and the powder passed through a fine sieve. One dose, a teaspoonful, is generally sufficient to cure the in- termittent fever; in very obstinate eases a second dose is required. Each dose is invariably preceded by a glass of aloe brandy ss a purgative. The pcewder is used in that locality in pre- ference to quinine. So says the jour- nal. We will not vouch for it. ~ In an address at Ashfield, Massachu- setts, Prof. Charles Eliot Norton of Harvard University considered the “village hoodlum” and the means for his suppression. The “village hood- lum” makes himself more conspicuous than the “city tough.” When he be- comes sufficiently depraved to enjoy his bad eminence he is a more demorali- zing figure than his city cousin of the same tendencies, and he is more dan- gerous to society inasmuch as the offi- cers of the law in rural communities are generally less efficient than in cit- ies. As a means of suppressing the “village heodlum,” Profesor Norton suggested the organization of a body of law-abiding citizens in each village or township to give definite support to the constituted authorities in suppres- sing lawlessness in all its stages. By this it is evident ,from other parts of the address the speaker meant particularly the suppression of petty acts of law- lessness by youngsters who are the children of neglectful parents and who have in them the material of which full-fledged ‘‘village hoodlums’” are made. For the first time in the state’s his- tory Florida is shipping sponges to Eu- rope, and is receiving good returns on all which reach the London market. It is one of a number of southern prod- ucts which ought to supply European markets right along. We are informed from Madrid that “General Weyler will be retained in command, out of respect for the dead.” It seems to be a case where “the ma- jority rules.” Weyler will be backed up by more “dead” men than any other fellow in sight.

Canadian WEYLERCALLEDOFF THE GOVERNMENT DECIDES ON HIS IMMEDIATE RECALL, Captain General Blanco y Arenas Appointed Governor General of the Island—Twenty Thousand Re- inforcements Will Accompany Him to Cuba—Weyler Says the Subjugation of the Insurgents Has Virtually Beeen Concluded. Madrid, Oct. 9.—The cabinet has de- cided upon the immediate recall of Gen. Weyler from Cuba. <A decree was issued appointing Capt. Gen. Blanco y Arenas, marquis of Pena- Plata, governor general of the island. According to the El Heraldo 20,000 reinforcements will accompany Gen. Blanco to Cuba. In the course of the cable message sent by Capt. Gen. Weyler to Premier Sagasta, placing his post in Cuba at the disposal of the government, he said: “If the functions with which they had entrusted me had been mere- ' ly those of governor general of Cuba I should have hastened to resign. But the two-fold character of my mission and my duty as commander-in-chief in the face of the enemy prevent my tendering a resignation. Neverthe- less, although I can rely upon the ab- solute, unconditional support of the Autcnomist and Constitutional parties, as well as upon public opinion, this would be insufficient without the con- fidence of the government, now more than ever necessary to me after the censure of which I have been made the object by the members and jour- nals of the Liberal party and by pub- lic opinion in the United States, which latter is largely influenced by the former. This confidence would be necessary to enable me to put an end to the affair which has already been virtually concluded from out lines at Juaraco to Cape Antonio.” Senor Sagasta replied: “IT thank you for your frankness, and wish to assure you that the government rec- ognizes your services and values them as they deserve, but it thinks a change of policy, in order to succeed, required the authorities should be at once with. the ministry. That has nothing to do with the confidence felt in you by the gevernment, but the Liberals have always said that the re- sponsibility does not fall upon those who carry it out, but upon the govern- ment inspiring it. I shall communi- cate your communication to the gov- ernment shortly.” Havana, Oct. 9.—Gen. Weyler gave an emphatic and absolute denial to the reports that he would resist removal from his command in Cuba, and in certain contingencies might espouse the Carlist cause. Madame Milan Anna de Bula, who has been in charge of the new hall at the Casa de Regotas, where Senorita Hvangelina Cosso y Cisneros was confined, and whose house in San Rafael street the police several months ago found trunks containing dynamite. and cartridges, is one of the four employes who have been arrest- ed and confined pending the result of an inquiry being made into the cir- cumstances of the escape Senorita Cisneros.

THE FEVER’S RECORD. Yellew Jack Makes a New High Water Mark, New Orleans, Oct. 9, — Yesterday was a record breaker here. As early as 6 o’clock as many cases had been reported as on Wednesday when the fever had reached high water mark. At the same time there had been some fever deaths reported, with a couple of patients in a very critical condition. The deaths are among those who have had little or no attention, and at least three of the fatalities are among the Italian population. The worst case of the day, however, was that of Elijah Parks, living on Custom House street. Parks died and his death no- tice appeared in the morning papers. Friends attended the preparation of the corpse for burial, and a wake was held. An expert was at once sent to the scene. His experienced eye en- abled him immediately to diagnose the case as yellow fever. ‘he couriers of the board of health have been in- dustriously searching for those who attended the wake or had anything to do with the dressing of the corpse. It is fair to assume that this case will still further the infection. ‘The record for the day was forty-nine new cases and five deaths. A number of new foeci are disclosed in the returns. There is one new case at Nita Youma. AN INHUMAN FIEND. Man Confesses to Having Killed His Parents and Namerous Wives. Rotterdam, Oct. 9—A man named Gustave Muller has surrendered to the city police, confessing the murder of his wife and child. As proof of the truth of his confession he produced from his pocket four human ears. The police, on searching his house, found the two bodies. Muller subsequently confessed that he had also killed his parents, mutilating their remains in the same fashion, and then he made the astonishing confession that he had similarly disposed of fourteen wives whom he bad married in various parts of the world. CLEVELAND DE LUGED. Bursting of a Water Main Causes Considerable Damage. Cleveland,Ohio, Oct. 9—The biggest water main in the city broke with a hing noise in the down town dis- and practically para ess in that part of the city. Pav stones and dirt shot into the air and the column of water rose thirty feet above the sidewalk. The entire street was soon flooded to a depth of three feet, and the basement of every house and business block was flooded. It was fully an hour before the water could be turned off. ‘rhe damage will amount to thousands of dollars. OVER THE WHITE PASS. Proposed Construction of a Narrow Gange Railway.

Immediate submission to the British authorities is advised in order to avoid unnecessary damage, other- wise punishment will follow any oppo- sition to the British advance. Bloodshed at a Dance. Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 9 — At Greenville at a country dance, Will- jan Ekof objected to Sidney Duarf dancing with his sister, and shot the latter dead at the girl's feet, As Ekof started to dash out of the room he was seized by M. L. Sutton, a friend of the murdered man, who at- tempted to arrest him. Ekof shot Sutton in the abdomen and he died an hour later. As Ekof ran from the hall several of the dancers fired shots at him through the darkness, and a trail of blood indicated he was wounded, although he jumped on a horse and es- caped. <A posse is after him. An Epidemic West Virginia. West Union, W. Va., Oct. 9, — An epidemic of fever six miles south of here is causing consternation among the inhabitants. Physicians differ in their opinions as to the kind of fever, some claiming it to be typhoid fever, while two of the most prominent as- sert it a mild type of yellow fever, Thirty-one deaths have occurred in the past eighteen days. The citizens of this town are demanding that the board of health quarantine against it. Action will be taken at once.

Several months ago, the Japanese Tea Guild sent to this country a special commission, composed of Mr. S. Mit- suhashi, president of Shizuoka Prefec- tural Assembly, and Mr. J. Ohara,mem- ber of Japanese parliament, to investi- gate the condition of the Japanese tea trade in the United States and Canada, and to co-operate with Mr. T.. Furuya and Mr, T. Mizutany, the American representatives of the Japanese Tea Guild, in giving publicity to the merits of Japanese teas and the method of preparing them for drinking which would insure the best results. Mr. Furuya and Mr. Mizutany are planning to open tea bazars in many of the principal cities in the United’ States and Canada, where ladies can enjoy a cup of fine Japanese tea made by experts, and at the same time re- ceive instructions which will enable them to make it equally well at home. More than half the tea consumed in the United States and Canada is of Japanese growth, yet, the majority of Americans apparently do not under- stand how to prepare it so as to de- velop the delicious qualities which it contains. It is believed by these gen- tlemen that when Americans are in: possession of the secret of making good tea, the consumption in this country will fully equal that of Europe in pro- portion. The Japanese government has appropriated a large fund to aid the Japanese tea growers and tea mer- chants in prosecuting this educational work, and it is hoped that American ladies will be apt students. The main bureau of the Japanese Tea Guild has issued an official recipe for making Jap- anese tea, the translation of which is as follows: First—Use a small,dry and thorough- ly clean porcelain teapot. Second—Put in one teaspoonful of tea leaves for each cup of tea desired. Third—When using Japanese teas, pour on the required quantity of fresh boiled water, and let stand with closed * lid from 2 to 3 minutes. Never boil the leaves. In order to retain the nat- ural flavor, Japanese tea leaves should be kept in tight can or jar, free from moisture, Note.—To thoroughly enjoy the nat- ural, delicate, and sweet flavor of Jap- anese teas, neither sugar nor cream . should be used.
