. Who is to Blame ?
Who is responsible for the medical
and’sanitary conditions prevailing at
Santiago de Cuba? \ The stories that
come to us from the field of battle and
from the transports coming North with
the sick men of the army are heart-
rending. We know that the lack 0f
medical appliances, of medicines, of
ordinary comforts, of doctors and
nurses, was criminal. We know that
if it had not been for the Red Cross
Society, conditions would have been.
more murderous than they actually
have been. But who is responsible '9
At the very outset of the expedition
frOm Tampa the wrong began. Whether
sufficient medical supplies for the army
were taken or not, not nearly enough
reached the front.
We are told that a sufficient supply
was forwarded, and that a sufficient
supply of good and nourishing food, in-
cluding canned soups and fresh meat,
was actually shipped on the transports
to Santiago, but we know that the
soldiers never had them. In the war
cartoon taken from Harper’s Weekly,
Columbia cries to Uncle Sam, “You
will fix the responsibility, or the coun-
try will”—and 'this will surely come
about. There is nothing more sicken~
ing than the story of the Concho,‘ ex-
cept it be that of the other transports.
It is the story of men sick with fever,
crowded into noisome holes, drinking
foul water, without necessary medi-
cines. And these sick men are the
soldiers who have fought our battle,
the soldiers of the richestand most
resourceful nation of theiiworld.
There is another story, too, that of
wounded soldiers onthefield of battle
without surgical aid, and that of,_,other
wounded men walkingmiles and, miles
to the rear’for‘l‘doctors' and‘ hespital}
some of them surviving, and all of
them displaying the heroism of mar-
tyrs. The campaign of Santiago illus-
trated the magnificent virtues of the
American soldier, but it gave an op}
portunity to sOme careless criminal, to
whom justice should be done. Who
is he ?

The College Entertainers, composed
of seven undergraduates from Yale,
Harvard and Wesleyan colleges, gave
a most satisfactory entertainment at
the Congregational church on Tuesday, 0
to a dood sized audience. The pro-
gramme consisted of a. number of
selections for 'mandolins and guitars,
solos and duetts,and impersonations by»
Mr. Howe of Yale. The musical
numbers were brilliantly rendered in
every instance and proved a rare treat
for local music lovers. Mr. Howe’s
selections were all of a jovial character
and were exceptionally well rendered.
His rapid changes in manner and
voice from one character to another in
his recitals were highly appreciated
'and showed careful training as well as
natural ability. Taken as a whole it
was the best entertainment given in
town in a long time, and a return en-
gagement would be sure to receive a
large patronage. .

LONG FINGER NAILS.
Indicate Bank and Good Breeding in
' Many Oriental Countries.
Thecountries where the long finger
nail is'most affected are Siam, Assam,
Cochin.thna and China. The approv-
ed length varies from three or four
to twenty-three inches. A Siamese
exquisite permits the nails on his fin-
gers to grow to such an'extcut that
his hands are practically useless. The,
aristocrats Who altectj these nails can_-_
not write; dress themselves or even
feed themselves.
. The Siamese hold the long finger nail
in ;the same reverence we hold the
family tree}; Many'of them never have
had their {nails cut'from the day of
their birth. On the first finger the nail
is bf moderate length~three or four
inches—while on the other fingers the
nails grow occasionally to two feet.

to grow long, after reaching a. certain
length cu'rvesifaronndfif like a cork-m

In bOth China and Siam the owners
of {long nails wear metal cases over
them to preserve them, made of gold-
, or jlslli‘ier, aud‘dew‘éled.‘ While long
- nails are not regarded as singular in
China, they are rarely met with except
on fanatics and pedantic, scholars.

hands are ornamented with utmost
