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.

(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.

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.
The demand for that wonderful

the like. Its because they ever

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

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

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,

to provide any iiiQns for their doing

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

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

Sugar, for example, although there
had been for months reason to believe
that imports thereof from the Philip
