Physicians Use Oplum.
. Dr. T. D. Crothers has startled the
medical profession, as well as the pub
lic, by imaking a statistical report con
cerning the history of more than 3,000
physicians of the middle and eastern
states, 21 per cent. of whom were us
ing spirits or opium to excess. From
this report, Dr. Crothers deduces the
alarming general Inference that at
least from 6 to 10 per cent. of all med
{cal men are opium irebriates.
New Pass in Rocky Mountains.
After numerous hair-breadth escapes
a party of explorers In the Rocky

CLEANING UP MANILA
| OLD WORLD METHODS MAKE
IT HARD.
The Dificulties of the Board of Health
Oficials — Mediseval Methods Still
Exist In Treating Disease — Super
stitlons in the Way.
. (Manila Letter,)
The news of the death of Capt. El
dredge of the Fourteenth infantry in
the fight at Bacoor has been a shock
to his many friends here. Capt. El
dredge came out on the Sheridan In
July after a year in Alaska, during
which time he was separated from his
family. He was a man of cheerful dis
| position anq unfalling humor, though
in the prime of life, an army man of
the old school. He won the regard of
all with whom he was brought in con
tact and will be sadly missed by his
brother officers of the Fourteenth.
The rebel bullets are derided because
most of them fly wide of the mark, but
occasionally one finds its mark, as in
this case, and everybody here feels a
sudden shock and sudden realization
that Filipino bullets can kill and can
send a heartache to America, more
| than ten thousand miles away.
As an escort for fourteen American
prisoners, all privates and most of
them deserters, several insurgent gen
erals, gorgeously caparisoned, have
had the “freedom of the city” for the
last few days. They resided at the
Oriente, and took numerous drives
with our officers on the Luneta and
elsewhere, and proved conclusively
that, as far as gold lace was con
cerned, the American army wasun’t “in
it.” It anything has come. of their
conferences with Gen. Otis the public
here is unaware of it, and every one
is unanimous in wishing that they had
remained at their own headquarters,
wherever they may be. They have
doubtless done some good work for
their cause while they have been in
the city, and have found out all that
they wanted to know concerning our
'position. In addition to this they
have been able to pose and create a
sensation, and nothing is dearer to
the heart of the “mestizo.” It was a
pleasant break in the monotony of
their existence, for the rebels must
be having a more stupid time than the
Americans, even, and that is saying a
good deal. The prisoners which they
brought with them as an excuse for
their being here were selected with
care, only the plumpest being allowed
the privilege of a return to friends and
liberty. One of the men with whom
they started was sent back because he
showed too many signs of weakness,
and was likely to convey the idea to
us that the “insurrectos” were not
carrying on the war under civilized
principles. It would spem that only
those American prisoners who are en
dowed with cast-iron constitutions
have much chance of heing returned
alive—to demonstrate, by an object
lesson, the humanity of those who
have been holding them captive. The
other poor fellows had better fatten
up or die.
If accounts of Manila differ in some
particulars there is one upon which
there is no possibility of a difference
of oplnion—the übiquitous dirt and
filth. (It will be readily understood
that the board of health has had more
dificulties to contend with than most

of the city departments. The work of
getting the city in a thoroughly sani
tary condition is a work of years—ten
or fifteen, at least. It would be a real
blessing to the 300,000 residents of
Manila it a few more thousand nipa
huts were to meet with the same fate
as thelr 5,000 predecessors in the Ton
do fire. Of course, they would grow
up again like mushrooms, but certain
restrictions might be imposed to ad
vantage and the health of the city
‘would be much improved. There is no
system of sewerage in the city, with

character and all the refuse is carried
| into the moat, which entircly sur
rounds the wall which encircles this
portion of the city. From a certain
standpoint there is nothing more pic

| that olg wall of masonry so massive
'| as to convey an idea of immutability
with its ancient sally ports anq dun
geons, the beautiful soft grays ot its
stone softened by and blending into

its base the ancient moat, whose stag

growth of vegetation, hiding heaven

| knows what. For many years this
| moat has lain undisturbed and the gen
eral opinion has been that when its
| contents were investigated there would
. | rage over Manila pestilences of every
| variety. There will, be other ghastly
, | inds there besides those of the germs
|of tever. There have been expert opin
, | lons advanced as to different methods
y | of attacking the moat with safety, but,
| notwithstanding the expertness of
; these, most Amerlcgns here would pre
, | fer to have the experiment made while
, | they were at considerable distance
. | from the Philippine capital—in Japan,
| for instance. Hong-Kong, to those who
I know the history of the moat, is too
| | near. ‘
Y The most serious problem which
y | confronts the board of health in Ma
, | nila, i{s the seeming Inability of the
) | citizens to grasp the first principles of
, | sanitary living. As regards personal
| | cleanliness there is much to be said in
| praise of the natives, It is safe to say
- | that you never pass by a canal or a
| river without being able to count a
| | number of native bathers. The small
| children dispense with any garment
| whatever, while the women wear one
| that is destined for the wash. The
men dress or not according to indi
vidual taste. The family wash is done
| at the same time, the varfous members
of the family often lending a hand to
| the materfamilias. There are wayside
fountains throughout the city, and
these are universally used for bathing
| purposes, modesty belng often sacri
, | ficed—it must be admitted—on the al-
| tar of cleanliness. The natives that |
| you meet in the street always look |
| clean, and this includes the clothes |
| | that they wear. No matter how low |
| the grade of society to which they be- |
, | long, it 18 rule to see the men with |
| clean shirts and the women with fresh | :
| camisas and panuelos, generally of |
' | much-washed and much-mended ce
. | nemi. Unfortunately this personal
- | cleanliness—which has no connection |
| with the hot water of civilization— |
) | does not extend to the proper care of | -
. | dwellings or to the disposition of re- | |
fuse. It will take years to educate the
natives so that any intelligemt co-op
eration can be hoped for and probably
little can be done with this gencration.
The large population is crowded into_
a comparatively small district, large :
familles dwelling contentedly under a:
roof tree of very small dimensions.
This will have to be changed before
Manila can be healthy. Smallpox
which has always been prevalent here
is never epidemic because there are so ‘
many immunes, and owing to the ef
forts of the health officers, it has been
pretty well stamped out in Manila. Thy
natives do not dread the disease, and
object to having it isolated. Leprosy |

is found all through the islands and
the people pay no more attention to it
than if it were an ordinary skin dis
ease. I have often seen lepers—though
not in Manila—in the midst of a crowd
of people, who pushed up against them
familiarly, seeming to have no dread
of contagion,

The Marlborough Children Are Rocked
in It
In the drawing room at Blenheim is
exhibited the wonderful golden cradle
in which each first-born son of the
house of Marlborough is rocked during
his infancy. In this cradle, which is
perhaps the most beautiful and costly
thing of its kind in the world,the pres
ent little Marquis of Blandford was
placed on his christening day, when he
had been given the name of John Al
bert Edward William Churchill. The
little heir, by the way, Is named for
three well-known persons. John, for
the great duke; Albert Edward for the
prince of Wales, one of his godfathers,
and William for his grandfather and
godfather, William K. Vanderbilt. The
two children are very closely guarded
‘ in the nursery, which consists of the
most charming suite of rooms in the
palace. Here the young duchess, who
is a most proud and devoted mother,
spends most of her time, with her ba
bies. When they go out in their blue
and white perambulators for exercise
they are wheeled about in what is
known as the ‘“kitchen gardens’”
among the fruits and vegetables, for
on show days the kitchen gardens are
not delivered over to tourists for in
spection. Thus the two little lords may
hold high carnival without fear of pub
lic intrusion and snapshooters. On
other days they are wheeled about
where their nurses will, within the 350
acres of private grounds, which are
walled off from Blenheim Park.—Ains
