DRAWS DARK PICTURE OF
RULE OF RUIN IN VENEZUELA
Writer of Note Describes Results of
Castro's Rapacious Regime Foreign
and Home Industry Destroyed and
People Starving.
Over tlu signature of Rephen Bon
sal, who writes from first hand knowl
edge of affairs lu Venezuela, the New
York Time, prints an article on "CI
ptl.iuo Castro, Cattle Bniullt of the
Amies," Mr. Honsnl say?:
It Is undoubtedly a mistake to char
ncterlxo Castro in a South American
type. lie Is fortunately nn exeepttonnl
man In any continent.
Cor many years now Castro has lind
no illations with the rvsiieet'tble
claws u-aong his fellow countrymen,
except those which the jailer has with
his prisoners and the burglar with
those whom he robs. One after un
o 'ier the European ,nml the South
A erlean powers have at the Instance
elf respect been compelled t.) sever
i-'Intlous with the "bad man" of
.:c.is. The representatives of Co
,' i.i, Chile, the Culted States ami
I.anee recently withdrew, and now
even the stolid. Ions suffering Dutch
minister has gone, uutll today the dip
lomatic olllcers remaining In Caracas
can easily be transported lu a four
seated barouche.
Looks Out For Own Profit.
From the day when Castro entered
the astonished capital with the (In
view of his acts) almost sacrilegious
words. "God and the Federation." em
blazoned upon his yellow banners he
has ruled the country uceordlug to the
dictates of his pergonal caprice and
for the greatest profit to himself and
lils Andean comrades.
Several of the half hearted defend
ers of the Castro regime, aud a few
such there are. say that all the
friction width has resulted In the al
most complete ostracism of Castro by
the civilized world has arisen over the
claims of foreign concession hunters.
After all, It Is asserted, these men In
vested their money In the country
with fujl knowledge of the conditions
obtaining there, and several of theui
In advance committed themselves to
the position of promising to seek no
redress .for their wrongs, real or fan
clod, except at the hands of the Vene
Riiehm courts.
Courts Are Castro's Creatures.
This view of reasoning sound well,
but It is not lu accord with the facts
When the American concessions whlli
have now been confiscated or are dts
puted were made there were courts lu
Caracas which comma tided confidence,
n ml Castro has abolished them 01
changed their personnel without oh
serving the due processes of the law
In so doing,
The other charge which the partisans
of Castro bring has nhi-h more founda
tion In fact. The accusation is that
(luring the Matns rebellion nil the for
eigners aided the Mntos forces with
men, money, arms and Information.
These charges have never been proveil
by evidence that would stand scrutiny
but here at least there Is some basis In
fact. In three years Castro had ham
pered anil Indeed In ninny Instances,
as In the asphalt concession, absolute
ly ruined every enterprise In the land
conducted by foreigners.
Mstos Failed to Save Country.
Then Matos, an honest man of good
antecedents nnd with the best blood
Jn the country flowing through his
veins, made his bid for the presidency
In the revolutionary way. the only
wav, owing to the utter defiance of the
electoral laws by 'the usurping cattle
thief, that was open to him. Matos
failed because he was not a man of
war and during the Inst four years
Castro hns devoted himself to the In
dian punishment of those whom he
suspects, undoubtedly with some rea
son, of having abetted his rival.
As a result the commerce of the
country has dwindled to nothing: the
bountiful crops are not harvested be
cause there Is no money lu the land,
people are starving In what was
actually the land of plenty: only the
blnclc denth travels from deserted port
to grass grown Caracas. Inflicting tlu

POINTS OUT DANGER IN USE
OF "STERILIZED" CtiTTON.
Investigator Finds Microbes in Ma
terial Used For Surgical Purposes.
Startling results are announced of an
examination made by the distinguished
French avaut, M Nonuotte, of a large
number of commercial brands u
"aseptic" and "sterilized" cotton, '"u!
t tires were made from thirty packages
of cotton purchased nt random, and m
every instance flourishing colonies of
microbes were obtained-. Two of the
packages yielded typhoid bacilli.
in the preparation of cotton for sur
gical purposes the nnv product Is card
ed, washed lu soda, blvnclitHl with
hypochlorites and dually washed In di
luted sulphuric acid After each of.
these operations the cotton Is washed
In plain water, and during the- inl;
are Introduced the microbes discovered
by M. Nonuette.
Partly as a result of this Invefga
tion physicians are turning to the ue
of the absorbent Ilium surgical dress!, g
known ns"oxollut " This is not oa y tne
from the mlcrohie dangers of cotton,
but Is also more cooling atad more ab-Fo-bent.
Physlclaus nnd hosplta's are
now ordering "oxoilut" by the ton
from the North Brook field OIas.t

The Scientific American in comment
ing .011 M. Nonnotte's Investigation
says, "These results prove that it Is
unsafe to apply commercial absorbent
cotton to wounds or In oedema, ery

of the skin."
NEED FOR REGULATING
VIVISECTION OF ANIMALS.
Prohibition Not Advocated, Only Law
That Will Make Needless Cruelties
Impossible.
The New York Society For the I'rtv

want to be confused with other organ

Reports lately appearing lu the prew

Great Britain sends the largest iium

the population of the United Kingdom
sends only do.000,000 messages, Ger
many yj.OOO.OWi and France 59.000.000
The position of the United States In
the next telegraph census will no doubt
be Improved by the quick, low cos!
service of the new telegraph company
the Telepost.
The United States has 1.1D3.4S
miles of telegraph wire, four times
as much ns the United Kingdom, but
the American companies earn only $!)
per mile against earnings of StyO.OD Ir
Great Britain, where the average cosl
per message Is only 1(5 cents as com
pared to an aerage cost of 3'J cent,
here.
In Germany the government line
find It profitable to carry a ten wo:d
message between any two points In I
the empire for 12 cents This Is the
rule upon which the Telepost will op
crate here a flat rate of twenty-live'
words for 25 cents between nil points.
The success of the German system j
appears to confirm the wisdom or th
Telepost iu making n rate without re
gard to distance. With the largely In
creased business that Is shown to be
the result of low rates nnd good serv
ice and with the economics made pos
stble by the Telepost's automatic sys
tern, experts who have studied the
question believe that the now company
will make a larger profit at 2." cents
for tweiity-five words than the old
companies make at much blither rates
