THE woi.fe ni:os. COLUMBUS. ... OHIO ( tiy Cable to The Times) Havana, Oct. 8 The flood situa tion in Cuba is serious today. Riv ers have gone over their banks, bridges have been swept away, and property damages to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars has been done. Four lives are known to have been lost, and there are reports of further loss of life. For 18 hours there has been no let up in the heavy rain. The towns most severely affected by the floods are Matanzas, Sagua, and Jnruco. The last named is near Havana. In, these towns bridges have been' destroyed and houses washed away in the seething rivers. It is feared that the loss will be much heavier before the storms and floods pass, us there is 110 sign of a cessation of the rain. III KT BY DYNAMITE.

' (By Leased Wire to The Times) Haverford, Pa., Oct. 8 Perfect weather prevailed this morning when semi-finals began hi the women's an nual national golf championship on Merion cricket club's links. Interest in the concluding play was height ened by the fact that the title for the first time in the history of America amateur golf was in danger of being carried abroad. The fear lay in the presence of Miss Dorothy Campbell, of North Berwick, Scotland, present British champion, who was today pit ted against Mrs. Caleb Fox, of Phila delphia. The lower half of the draw brought in opposition Miss Margery Phelps, of Boston, and Mrs. Ronald Barlow, of Philadelphia ex-champion of that district. Mrs. Fox is a wo man of about twice Miss Campbell's age, but a stubborn antagonist. Her gruelling matches this week against (lie foreign invaders and domestic title-holders have roused the Quaker players to a high pitch of enthusi asm and accordingly there was a throng out this morning to follow the struggle. Estimated Expenditure in Connection With Celebration Hum Run From 5,000,000 to $10,000,000 Dully Battleship Rui ned Up $100,000 in Powder for Solutes Si ghtless Fu ture Predicted for. Tenement Dwellers Unless Conditions Are improved Janitors to be Sent to School lUpid Progress of Toy Industry Millions Spent for Bridges That Cumiot be Used. New York, Oct. 8. .N'o city over lias indulged in holidaying on such an ela borate scale as bus New York during the pa."t week ill celebrating tile mem ory of Hudson and Fulton. Tile days of the four great parades have been practically holidays and during tile re mainder of the week it has been difli cult for the average man to pay much attention to business so great have been the demands of hospitality and the attractions of the various public and private entertainments thai have accompanied every moment of the time. In addition to the expenses of the various committees In charge of different features of the celebration which have amounted to more than U'00,000, it is estimated that the ex penditures of private citizens for bunting, flags and other decorations have been at least $250,000, with $1,00.- 000 added for the cost of illuminating private edifices. Probably $5,000,000 or more has been expended for seats on grand stands, in windows overlooking the parades and on excursion boats for the naval spectacles. It is im possible to estimate the amount paid out to railroads, hotels, restaurants and shops on account of the celebra tion, but $20,000,000 would be a con servative estimate. The theatres and other places of amusement have reaped a golden harvest running into the mil lions while the item of private enter tainments, dinners, balls, motor parties, and similar events represent an equal expense. When to this is added the ex. per.diture by the national government nnd foreign nations in securing the at tendance of tlie huge fleet of warships, it will be seen that the outlay in con nection with the celebration cannot have been less than $30,000,000 and may easily have been almost twice that figure. Such an unconsidered item as the firintr of salutes from the various j ships of the fleets is said to have re presented an expense of $100,000 or more. Go With a Rush.

ME BETTING ON KETCHEL AND JOHNSON (By W. W. Naughton.l Sail Francisco, Cal., Oct. 8 In Hie betting on the Ketchel-.Tohusoii tight speculation seems to be confined to the pTobable duration of the contest. It Is even money thut Ketchel will or will not last fifteen rounds, and it is -said a man does not have to wait very long to have hl8 money covered, no matter how he wants to but. As far as can ,1k; learned Ketchel money is plentiful and it may be that within a day or two the middleweight champions friends will be offering even money that he will be no deck at the end of the six teenth round. Johnson's work yesterday was of the usual character, namely, road work In the morning and indoor stunts in the afternoon, the whole, topping off with a few rounds with Dave Mlllls. Be ginning tomorrow Jotyisun will spar with Bob Armstrong and his invitation to " all comers" still holds good. Ketchel did road work in the morn ing and laid off In the afternoon. The desire seems to be to keep the king of middleweights as heavy aa possible and it remains to be seen whether good Judgment has mcen used in this direction. If there are no further changes Johnny Frayne and Lew Powell will meet In a twenty round bout at the Coliseum on vhp msht of octooft rs. i That New York may soon become a city of sightless people is the most stming feat in the remarkable report, the first of its kind, just compiled by the Tenement House Department. Ac cording to this report, which reveals a condition undreamed of heretofore, there are in this city no less than 102,97 tenement buildings housing ;i,TT",. 343 persons. The report shows thut there are 101,117 rooms which ale used for living- purposes without a si.igle window. These rooms house more Until a quarter of a million people, the great majority of whom especially among the women never see the lifcht of day except on rare and brief occasions. As a result of this living in darkness local experts assert that the effect will be similar to that produced in the fish living in the waters of the famous Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, which never being exposed to the light have as a result entirely lost their organ of sight. That the effect of similar conditions in the case of human be ings would be practically the sumo is tile ascertion which has led to tto pre diction of a sightless New York unless these conditions are : promptly rem edied. It is not a stretch of the imag ination indeed to picture New York 01 the future as inliabitated by a race of sightless cave dwellers since in 25.043 of the city's 102,8117 tenements families live in tlie basement or sub-basement. More than oiie-foui th of the tenements covered by the report, in which seventy-five perccui of the city's population lives, are of old construction with dark hails, numbering in addition to tlie 101,- I IV rooms entirely unlit by daylight, 263.0CU additional rooms insufficiently lighted. Tliree-quorters of the entire city population is housed In the build ings covered by the report, which covers all kinds housing two or more families. While New York's small boys fo tlv mmibej; of 750.00U have been attending school for nearly a month now, it Is not until next week that the big boys many of them gray-headed will be gin to attend the city's most remark able school. Iiieidrutatly the opening of tills unique educational Institution whieh has for Its purpose nothing less thaiu training janitors will also give to the schollastic world a new degree of J. M. This degree, which will beconf erred upon all graduates of the school, is the abbreviation standing for Mastor of Janitoring. There will be. no honorary degrees and the graduate will be put through a course which j will instruct him In all details of the ' janitorial profession from repairing a j broken elevator or repairing a leak j in a kitchin boiler. One feature of tho new school which will be a most grate fi.i innovation 'o Weir "iorHcn, in tfni Many of Them Happening Every Day , ... But Soo Forgotten. Close shaves would be of moje f re qucnt occurrence but for the tender faces of many men, which will not permit of shaving often. Heretofore, nothing has been said in these col umns about poslam, a new skin dis covery, in connection with its, use af ter shaving, . Its publicity and sales have been confined almost exclusive ly to its remarkable properties as an eczema cure; it stops the itching at once and cures the worst cases in a few days. While the application of poslam after shaving is one of its minor uses, such as for pimples, the complexion, etc., shavers will find it a revelation, as it does for abrasions, roughness, and severe scrapings what it does for a.l manner of skin diffi culties heals and cures in a few hours. It is the only article posses sing real antiseptic and curative value that has ever been exploited for this purpose, and will soothe and tone up the skin as no toilet prepa ration could possibly do. Poslam can be had for fifty cents at any reliable druggist's, particular ly the King-Crowe'.l Drug Co., who make a specialty ot it. Or the Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West 25th Street, New York City, will send a trial supply free by mail to any one who will write for It. This is suf ficient to show results in 24 hours. in which janitorial etiquette is to Im taught to tlie destruction of the hoary janitor joke. Tlie organizers of tlie new school, believing that one of tie chief requisites of the present day Janitor is the cultivation of a more courteous attitude on his on his pait toward his tenants, have decided to include in the curriculum a course in good manners. Some of the things to be .taught in this connection will, it Is thought, go a long way louard bringing about more friendly relations between janitor and tenant, especially 011 a frosty morning, when tlie in habitants of the upper Moors find thut the steamheat has been turned off. After having received his diploma the janitor of the future will have many more accomplishments of the kind that are sure to be appreciated by tenants in trouble. He will in fact be more or less of a jack-of-all-trades. and if all that he is promised is carried out by the educators, he will be altogether a desirable man to have about the house. Although the annual arrival of Santa Claus is still nearly three months dis tant. New York is already planning to spend some $10,000,000 on toys for the coining Christmas. This of course, is only one item, and taking every thing into account it is estimated that not less than $200,000,000 will be spent In the country at large for tlie edifi cation of children next December. The manufacture of toys is one "infant" Industry for which protection does not seem to be needful, according to the latest reports since the Santa Claus in. dustry has been largely a product of the last decade. The growth of the production of toys In the United States has been rapid in recent years, the value of the manufacturers classed as toys and games" being reported at $1,500,000 in 1880, $3,750,000 in 1890; $4,000. (K0 in 1900, and $5,500,000 in 1905. the amount of capital employed increasing from a little less than $1,000,000 in 1880 to nearly $5,000,000 in 1905, the number of factories from 106 in 1880 to lfil in 1905; tlie number of persons employed from a little over 2.000 in 1880 to more than 4,000 in 1905 and the wages paid from $500,000 in 1880 to more than $1,- 500,000 in 1905. American toys, are, it would seem, especially popular among those of English birth or ancestry. since of the $750,000 worth of toys ex ported in 1908, $231,000 worth went to the United Kingdom, $113,000 worth to Canada and $70,000 wortli to Australia and New Zealand, making more than half the total exports of toys to the United Kingdom and her two princi pal colonies. Canada and British Aus tralasia. Tile next largest exportations were; To (ivrinany. $56,000; to Cuba, $54,000; to tlie Philippine. Islands, $26,000 to France $24,000; and to Japan $10,000. Father Knickerbocker is not crosing his bridges before lie comes to them, but in tlie case of some of these struc tures not even after he reaches them. It has in fact proved increasingly dif ficult as a result of the congestion of pasenger traffic to cross any of them in comfont during tlie last .few years, the most notable example has been the Brooklyn bridge which now affords adequate facilities f.qr crossing the river for less-than fifty percent of the persona desiring to use it, Xhe most remarkable example of tha condition, however. ';.' that-, which Is found In the. cHe-?f tlie new Manhattan bridge, Jlii:t" being completed at a - .cost of $25,Otr3,00tfc in ioitu of the fact that tt.wtra erected to t liable , people -to cross the i;iveMic,tweeii New York and Long Island,, the '-citv faJ.uers -have neglected to provide any iiiQns for their doing so. .except by shank's ma-c, which Is about .most unpopular means of trans portation In New York. So fur not a single . contract bus been made for the operation of cars on this newest of the city's bridges, and as a result many people, wiio find It out of tho question to walk over its third of 11 mile length, are wondering how they j are to cross the bridge even utter they come to it.

In offering this course "as one of Its contributions, to greater industrial efficiency," the. international Typographical Union Is making for so cial and Industrial advancement in a way that confutes many stale and un truthful statements of its critics.

T IS PHILIPPINE IMPORTS SHOW BIG INCREASE Washington, Oct. S Imports into the United States from the Philip pines under the new tariff show an in crease of more than one hundred per cent, in August, lfillli, as com pared with August, I!HIX. Curious ly, however, the principal increase is in an article which enti'ied free of duly under 1 In- former tariff, namely. Manila hemp. The total value of merchandise from Ih" I'kilippim-s in tlie month of August. I'.i'i:. was .$ I , 821. luK. compared villi $Sll.r,l'.i in August of last year. Of this $l,sl, 13S wortli of merchandise from the Philippines in August of the present year, Manila hemp formed by far the greatest pari, llial ai l i ! alone amounting in value in I s.LMir,, while in August of last ji.-ar Hie Ma nila hemp imported amounted in value to but $:: 1 1,1 28. In fact the increase in importa tions ' of ari.ii les formerly dutiable, but now free of duty, is not large. Sugar, for example, although there had been for months reason to believe that imports thereof from the Philip pines would be admitted free of duty under the new tariff, actually shows a smaller importation in the mouth of August, 1909, when admitted free of duty, than in August, 1!)08, when paying duty. Tho total importations from the Philippines in August,.
