a FEW PLAIN TRUTHS.
Spanish Peace Commissioners win Hear
Them When the Paris Conference Opens
Fate of the Philippines Lies i'll Ameri-
cans Hands

Washington. Sept. 15.-Three mem
bers of the peace commission-Secre-
tary Day, Senator Davis and Whitelaw
Reid-were in conference for two
hours at the state department Wednes-
day. Senator Frye will arrive to-day
and Join in the conference of the com
missioners. Senator Gray, the fifth
member. is also expected to join his as
sociates in their conferences to-day.
In official quarters much satisfac-
tiOn is expressed over the reports from
Madrid that the lower house of pariia-
ment has passed the government bill
accepting the terms of the protocol.
The upper house had already passed
this measure. 50 that the last fear
of Legislative opposition to the trans
fer of Cuba. the Ladrones and Porto
Rico is over. The authorities here feel
that this carries them by danger
point. as it has been feared for some
time that the animosities in the Span
ish cortes would lead to the defeat
of the Sagasta ministry on the qnes-
tion of evacuating the Spanish islands.
There is little doubt that general
line of policy was agreed upon between
the president and his cabinet at their
meeting Tuesday afternoon. but there
is good reason for believing that the
assertion that the decision was def
nitely in favor of not permitting Spain
under any conditions to retain SOW
ereignty in any part of the Philip
pine islands is based on a misconcep-
ton. Members of the cabinet and
members of the peace commission re-
fuse to discuss the subject with news
paper men. and. therefore, whatever
is said is based more or less on in
ference or roundabout information.
II is not doubted that the commits
sion will start the negotiations at
Paris with the assertion that we have
conquered Spain in the Philippines,
and that Spanish sovereignty has al
ready been forfeited there. This will
not, however. necessarily signify that
il is the purpose of the administration
to retain possession of the entire group
of islands. or to permanently deprive
Spain of all her possessions in the
Pacific. 1t is not believed that the ad-
ministration has gone beyond the de-
termination to retain the whole of the
island of Luzon, but it is understood
10 be tne intention OF lne preSlueHt 10
esta blish at the outset the right of this
government to determine the fate of
the islands and to name the conditions
under which a government shall be es-
tahished there.
The matter of relinquishing posses
sion of the rest of the islands is in
volved with so many conditions to be
considered that it may become neces-
sary to deprive Spain permanently of
all her possessions in that quarter. 1t
is understood not to be a matter of
policy to acquire all this territory, but
it NAV become a necessity.

AVOIDING COLDS.
Getting Heated In ChangesbIe Weather
Is Something to be Carefully Avoided.

Avoiding colds is an art which
should be acquired by every individ-
ual, as it usually requires only proper
precautions. Colds are often the re-
suit of some condition of the constitu-
tion, or manner of living, or a lack of
mental hygiene. In the latter case,
people frequently encourage colds by
expecting and looking for them every
time there is a change of atmospheric
influence, such as often occurs daily.
Good mental resolutions and alb
sence of undue fear of colds will do
something towards avoiding them;
but mostly the art is secured through
increasing the resistance of the body.
Colds are frequently caused by
draughts of air striking sensitive por-
tions of the body, usually the back of
the neck, abdomen, feet and legs, as
these portions are perhaps the most
susceptible. TO avoid this tendency
the skin should be toughened. so that
it will bear cold air better: this is done
by daily cold sponge bathing better
than any other way. If this habit is
taken mp during the warm weather,
and kept up during the entire year, it
will do much towards exempting indi-
viduals from colds.
People who have not acquired this
resistance will have to exercise more
pains to adapt their clothing and ex-
ercise 70 the condition of the climate.
Getting heated in changea BILE weather
renders the individual very much more
susceptible to taking cold. Practical
adjustment of clothing, exercise, rest
and protection, during the seasons
when colds are prevalent, will often be
temporary measure against taking
cold, while, on the other hand, con-
stant worry about ones inability to
adjust these conditions may be cause
for it's development.-N. y. Ledger.

Gold is getting to be almost drug
in the government market. Though it
is paid out freely at the subtreasuries,
it continues to pile up in Washington
in a way that suggests to some persons
the possibility of a monetary strin-
gency. There does not yet appear,
however, to be any real danger of that,
the amount of money in circulation
seeming to be ample for all purposes.
At present the gold reserve in the
treasury is within a few millions of
the highest figures ever recorded, and
it probably will surpass them in a
few weeks. When all the proceeds of
the new bonds are in, the cash balance,
even allowing for continuance of dis
bursements, cannot be much below
$500 OCO 900, and considerably over
two-thirds of that amount will be in
gold. 1t is clear that the treasury is
in very strong condition. and there
is nothing in particular to threaten
its strength in the near future.-Prov-
,dcnce Journal.

And now our thoughts are all of peace and
home. There are, too often, people TO be
found who have no home, and it is to them
these few words are addressed. If you real
ly want a home you can easily get one, but
you should act at once before the relapse
from the war puts prices on the advance.
In Marinette County, Wisconsin, the very
finest farming land is to be had now at a
most modest figure. Excellent home mar.
kets are at hand to take whatever the farm
er raises, and good prices are given. These
lands are on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway, and full information con.
cerning them will cheerfully be furnished

Newport, II. l., Sept. 15.-The ac-
count book of the paymaster Of the
Cristobal Colon was picked up on the
beach near Middletown, by Philip
feckham, of that town. yesterday.
The record in the book was carried up
to June 1,1S9S, and the balance showed
that the officer had on hand 1862
pesetas, or $S,G72. 1t is thought that
the paymastcr carried the book off the
Colon after she surrendered, but threw
it overheard from the Harvard when
she was off this port on her way To

PULLMAN TO BE SOLD.
Model Town to Go Out of the Mon
OpOly's Hands,

Chicago. Oct 26-The Pullman Compa-
nv will dispose of the model city of Pull
man and its other real estate holdings
Robert T. Lincoln, president, is not
in the city, but Marshall Field and other
directors favor following the lines mark
ed out by the State Supreme Court de-
cision of Monday.
This decision was that the company
could not legally hold the town of Pull
man, which is valued at IS, 500 900, or its
property in this city, worth 81, 800 600, as
its charter gave it only the right to
manufacture cars.
John S. Runnelis, general counsel of
the company, said yesterday that the cor
poration always believed, itself justified
legally in holding it's outside property.
THE town of Pullman" he declared,
was built for the convenience of the
Pullman operatives at a time when there
were few houses in convenient distance
of the works. The charter was granted
in 1867, but the town was not built until
1880.
'The step was not taken without con-
sultation with good lawyers, among them
former chief justice of the supreme
court of Illinois-Lawrence
ut should also be remembered that the
courts that have passed upon the case
have not been unanimous Judge Baker,
of the circuit ourt, upheld the conten-
uons Of the company, and the supreme
court is not united in it's declaration.
1.-The company's defense was that the
liberal special legislative charter of the
company gave 1t the right to hold such
real estate as the board of directors
might deem necessary, and that the time
for the State to object was when the
town was built not fourteen years after

II presume that the circuit court will
give the company reasonable time in
which to comply with the law as con-
strued by the supreme court. The COM
pany will not attempt to disobey the or
ders of the court.

cision does not take the property away
from the company or attempt to deprive
the company of any possession without
due compensation"
