Dewey was once FooIes.

Admiral Dewey has had one of his Idols
cruelty smashed, says a dispatch from the
Orient. In the arsenal at Cavite stands a
beautiful statue, apparently In bronze. of
Sebastian Elcano. When the admiral first
saw it he decided to have the figure re-
moved and sent home as a trophy. He
was in doubt whether he would give it
to the state of Vermont or present 1t 10
Congress with pedestal of Vermont mar
bic. One or the other he would do and
he was pleased with the whole idea. He
began to plan how such a mass of metal
could be successful packed, shipped and
delivered.
A few days ago he was walking in the
yard with Lieut. Hodges, when this con-
versation ensued:
Admiral--Pretty statue, that Going to
send it home.
Hodges-Too bad it's only wooden.
Admiral-Eh? What's that? Wood?
How do you know?
Hodges-Well, 1 got curious climbed up
to whitfield off a few pieces
Admiral-Well, that is too bad. I am
sorry to hear it.
Hodges-Do you want the statue?
Admiral-No; want to give it away TIL
send it home, anyway but 1 am very sorry
about it. Pretty good imitation. 1t fooled
me, and it might fool those at home, but
We'll have to tell them about it. We can
keep it bronzed up can't WEI"

Prof. Agar Beet, a distinguished the

Church, recently wrote book in which
it was asserted that the souls of the
wicked are annihated at death. His
church has made him promise not to teach
or preach the doctrine.

The solitary Imprisonment for life to

capital punishment is forbidden in Switzer-

worse than death. He will be placed when

he will never emerge while alive and will
be fed just enough to support life. This
treatment generally results in a complete
loss of REASON and some of the Swiss
prison officials now admit that they would
be in favor of the death penalty.

A LITTLE CLOUD.

1t is announced from Washington that
the sending of additional troops and two
of our best warshsps to the Philippines
does not necessarily mean that there is
ground for apprehension of further trou-
bic there But when 1t is remembered
that we already have 1900 troops at Ma
Mia and that five additional regiments
have been ordered there, besides the two
great battleships, it is hard to believe that
everything is as satisfactory in the Philip
pines as the administration would have
the country think.
The truth is that the Philippines are as
Stunning a very threatening attitude. They
are not making any disturbance at pres
ent, but they are letting 1t be understood
that they are preparing to take care of
what they believe to be their own inter
ests. Aguinaldo is steadily increasing his
army. BY some means he is securing
arms and ammunition. The natives are
enlisting by the hundreds and thousands
They seem to feel that a crisis in their
affairs is approaching.
One thing to which they seem to have
made up their minds Is that they will not
again submit to the yoke of Spain. And
it is a question whether SPAIN in her
weakened condition, could re-esta blish her
power in the islands if we should with
draw from them Aguinaldo and his fol-
lowers want independence, but the ma
jority of the better class of the natives
do not think the people are yet fit for
self-government. They are satisfied that
if the people were to attempt to govern
themselves their condition would be far
worse than it is now
What they favor is a protectorate by
some one of the strong governments. The
opinion is expressed by close observers
in Manila that if our government were
to announce that it would see to it that
the islands were given a good govern
ment and would protect them against in
reference from other governments the
insurgent army would melt away, and
Aguinaldo would be left with too small a
force to give anybody trouble Within
very short time now we shall know
what the purpose of our government is
in respect to the Philippines. If the pol
icy decided upon is wise one, the little
cloud now apparent, Indicating trouble
will quickly disappear.

My dear, / am going to tell you some

when Agassiz Dincd on Pota.


When AgaSsiz Dined on Potatoes
Success gives an interesting anecdote.
told by Agassiz, of his visit, when a young
man, to the great German naturalist,
Prof. Lorenz Oxen.
The professor received his guest with
warm enthusiasm, but apparent embar-
rassment. He showed his visitor the labo-
ratory, and the students at work, also his
cabinet, and lastly his splendid library of
books pertaining to geological science,
collection worth some $1,000, and well de-
serving the glow of pride which the owner
manifested as he expiated on its excel
lence.
The dinner hour came, and then the en-
barrassment of the great German reached
its maximum point
Monsieur Agassiz,' he said, with per
turbation, Ito gather and keep up this
library eXacts the utmost husbandry of
my pecuniary means. To accomplish this,
1 allow myself no luxury whatever. Hence
my table is restricted to the planest fare.
Thrice a week our table boasts of meat,
the other days we have only potatoes
and salt 1 very much regret that your
visit has occurred upon a potato day"
And so the splendid Switzer and the
great German with his students dined to-
gether on potatoes and salt And what
must those students have enjoyed In the
conversation of those remarkable men!

A POINTER FOR HAwAuANs.

Senator Morgan. a member Of the Ha-
waiian commission, is putting ideas into
the head Of the Hawaiians that may be the
cause of considerable trouble in the near
future. In an interview in Honolulu he
said, according to our dispatches yester-
day, that he had always favored making
a state out Of Hawai.and that he stiE IA
vored giving the island state govern
ment. but that he did not think the other
commissioners agreed with him, and that
therefore the islanders would have to get
along with a territorial form of govern
ment
Hawaii has only two or three thousand
Americans among her population, and a
few thousand other white people. All the
rest of the population are natives, and the
vast majority of them cannot read and
write. They are so ignorant that Presi-
dent Dole. and the other white leaders
who conspired to turn the islands over TO
this country, would not consent for the
question, whether or not the Islands should
be annexed to the United States, to be
submitted to them. And these are the PEG
pie that Senator Morgan thinks should en-
joy the privileges Of statehood.
We complain that such states as Ne
vada should have as much power In the
Senate as Georgia or New York, and get
here we have it coolly proposed that a
group of islands, two thousand miles from
our shores and having population which
knows absolutely nothing Of our form Of
government or our institutions, shall have
a voice in the upper branch of our IA
tional legislature equal TO that of the
richest and most populous state in the
union.
Senator Morgan having put it into the
minds of ambitious white men of Hawaii
that there are influential men at Wash
ington and elsewhere who are ready to aid
them in getting their territory into the
union as a state, we may expect the agi-
tation of the question of admitting Ha-
wall into the union to be begun at once.
And if Hawaii should be admitted, how
long would it be before a movement for
the admission of Porto Rico would be
begun? And for the admission of Cuba,
too, and the Philippines, If those islands
should become a part of our territory?
We have problems now which tax our
ingenuity to solve, but how much greater
would the problems be which would be
presented for our consideration if states
men from Hawaii, Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines had the privilege of max
ing their demands from the floors of the
House and Senate?
In our dispatches yesterday Col. Bryan
was quoted as saying that he had as yet
seen no reason for changing the opinion
which he expressed in his Omaha expo
sition speech against territorial eXpan-
sion. 1t is gratifying to know that he
stands by that opinion. It is one of the
wisest to which he has given utterance.
1t will not be two years before the ma
jority of his fellow citizens will hold views
in respect to our acquisitions from Spain
in harmony with 1t.

For Life
Almost Entire Face a Solid Sore

But Kept Spreading Until
Thought There Was No Cure.
Tried Cuticura. In Few Days
Better, In Short Time Cured.

Our little girls humor commenced with
tiny sore on one nostril, but it kept on spread
ing till we thought she would never get it
cured. For several weeks We tried every
thing we could get for the blood, both exter-
nauy and internally, but itkept getting larger
all the time, till both Rostrils, the upper lip, a
part of the lotcer lip, and up one side to the eye,
acre a solid sore. We thought there was no
cure, and that she would be disfgured for life.
Finally las a last resort we tried CUTIcURA
REMEDIES. We used a part of a bottle of the
CUTIcURA REsoLvENr and nearly box Of
CUTIoURA (ointment), and followed the direc-
tions infinitely. After a few days it began to
look better, and in a short time she was en-
tirely well, with no scar or trace of the humor.

Tribune has already reached the point
where 1t raises the question whether the
next Congress is in danger, and answers
Frankly, yes" going on to say that "un-
less the supporters of the administration
throughout the country bestir themselves
and work from this time until the night Of
election day as they have not worked be-
fore in the last ten years, there ls grave
danger that their representatives will not
be in the majority in the next Congress-
and that the Senate will be controlled by
coalition opposed to the administra-
tion."

The Red Cross Society does not deny
that it has been engaged in smuggling
and blockade running between this coun-
try and Cuba lately; indeed Mr. Stephen
Barton of the society asserts that il has
been doing those very things. All dur
ing the war and when the blockade was
strongest, Red Cross vessels carried food
and medicines to starving and sick Gu
bans, and since the signing of the peace
protocol it has continued the same BUSH
ness. 1t is alleged that the blockading
vessels could have captured the Red Cross
blockade runners if they had really wish
ed to do so, but that they very consider
ately looked the other way when one of
them hove in sight. In the smuggling oper-
atoms it was necessary to outwit the Span
ish officials, but no great trouble seems to
have been experienced in doing that. The
operations of the Red Cross in these par
ticulars was technically illegal, but il is
not at all probable that Mr.. and Miss
Barton will be carried into court to an
swer indictments.
