Captain ]. W. Philip, Of the Texas, Is
a devoted Presbyterian, He IS an ha-
bitual reader Of the Bible, never offers
his guests liquor and never swears, his
only expletave being by craGkey!" A
characteristic story was told OF him
during his stay last winter in Calves
ton. On the day after the blowing up
OF the battleship Nadine one OF the local
papers published an interview with
Captain Philip. In the same column
was a story relating TO certain condi-
lions In the United States navy. The
information was such as no commander
in the navy had any right to give. It
did not come from Captain Philip, but
was simply a piece Of reprint worked
over from q New York paper. Captain
Philip, unaware Of this fact, feared that
the disclosure might be attributed to
him and was considerably troubled,
but he used no violent language. He
simply sent note to the reporter, say
ing:
''when you visit the Texas again,
over cigar, Will have bone to pick
with thee; and, as the boy said, why did
you do It? Ever sincerely yours,
~. w, PHILIP"

The citizens Of Ponce, Porto Rico, hav-
Ing greeted the American troops as de-
llverers from Spanish despotlsm, and
given them an enthusiastic welcome, it
is easy to see that the question of e0tab-
lIshing a government over the island by
che United States will be a far less ser4-
GUS problem to solve than the one In
yolviug the creation Of stable govern
u1ent in Cuba on Independent lines.
1t is not presumed that all the inhabi-
tants Of Puerto Rico will exhibit such
enthusiasm over the advent Of the In
vadlng army, but the population. as a
whole, Is Intelligent and naturallypeace-
full, and the better rule by this govern
ment, the freedom from the burden Of
aiding in the support of bankrupt and
proaIgate monarchy across the Atlantic,
the blessings that viii follow American
influences and the introduction of Amer
lean institutions will undoubtedly soon
reconcile Puerto Ricans to the new or
der OF things.
The Puerto Rico phase of the govern
mental problem is likely to be the small
est one to face, and will cause the adj
rnsnIstration little embarrassment-per-
haps none at all.

The residents of Santiago are anxious
for the retention of American troops.
This Is significant Of the fact that Amer
lean humanity and civilized methods Of
warfare have already had their effect
upon the people. The Spanish inhabi-

The newspapers in Germany are still
sneerins at the fighting ability of the
United States. Perhaps some Of the
German editors would like to engage
with the lighters Of the United States.
just In order to demonstrate to the world
that their attacks are justihuble. The
United States soldiers and seamen arc
not worrying much about their belittle-
ment by the German editors. German
soldiers and scamen have, no doubt a
great respect for men who have shown
their capabilities, as true soldiers and
seamen always have for each other.

Resigned After Forty-Two Years Ser
 vice.
 MT w. B. De Blois, front guardsman at the state prison, who resigned his office last Tuesday, has been connected with the prison for torty-two years, holding many positions during that long term of service. For thirty two consecutive years since the war MT. De Blois has been on duty and he was an officer at the prison ten years be- fore the war. He enlisted in Wethers- field, November 20, 1861, and was mus tered as a musician, but was promoted to corporal in Company B, Twelfth Connecticut Volunteers. He was transferred to the Twelfth Battalion Infantry in 1864, and was discharged July "A, 1865. MT. De Blois is seventy years of age, and in i'll health He will reside with his son in Wethersfeld. He has been a faithful and efficient servant to the state during his long connection with the prison, and the board of directors will pass vote of thanks to him for his excellent service.
 At the prison to-day there are five hundred and one convicts-four hum dred and sixty men and fourteen wo- men in the main building and twenty seven in the insane ward. Warden Woodbridge has information that the waiting lists in county jails are: Hartford, sixteen; Fairfield, sixteen; ho The New Haven contingent will be brought to the prison tomorrow. The others must wait until vacancies occur in the crowded institution.
 The main block in the west end and the insane ward were lighted by cleo tricity Monday night for the first time. The lighting is satisfactory, and is a great improvement over the lighting by gasoline and oil There is a light in each cell.

or battalions, composed of men espe- cially fitted for duty in the malarious climate of Cuba. We could man every battery, and by calling into the ser- vice the young men who have had a theoretical instruction and practical experience with electrical appliances, many of whom have had a training in our national academies, we could en- large our corps of torpedoists to proper dimensions. At the artillery school and at Willet's Point the men to direct them are receiving instruction already In this way we could establish at once an efficient first line, behind which the state troops could be organized and prepared for the field instead of being hurried to their death under the lead of men with more zeal and influence than Knowledge. The lessons of our l civil war are so recent, the evidence of its encouragement in the early stages are so apparent in our great debt and our enormous pension roll, that only criminal negligence can prevent us from availtng ourselves of them. In the way suggested we could ensure ef- ticient action immediately, instead of reaching it over the thorny road of use- less sacrifices and national humiliation. Army and Navy Journal.

Though r Years Old, Mrs. Hannah A.

 wich.
 The Worcester Telegram says; Mrs. Hannah A. Loverin of 12 Sever street was " years of age yesterday and last night there was party at her home arranged by members of her family. She received several presents and a host of good wishes, and from her ap- pearance she will live to see century of life. She does not appear over 50 years of age, has almost a perfect memory, is fully aware of everything that is going on in the world about her and appreciates good joke as we'll as anybody in the United States.
 Her family were gathered about when a Telegram reporter called last night. Mrs. Loverin was a nurse in her younger days and says if war breaks out between the United States and Spain she will willingly go to the front in that capacity.
 She was born in Norwich, Conn.,, where they make the wooden nut megs," she told the reporter with a. laugh, and when she was IA years of age came to Worcester. She has lived here ever since and has been the mother of seven children, five of whom are dead. Her husband died Nov. 29. 1870. Her living children are Albert H. Loverin and Mrs. c. w. Amidon.

CATHOLIC CENSUS.
Bishop Tierney's Statistics Show the
 Number to Be 250,O0O.

Bishop Tierney's Statistics Show the
 Number to Be 250, 900.
 Bishop Tierney has officially an- nounced his report of the conditions of the diocese for the year 1897. The Catholic population has reached 25O 900 souls. according to the aggregate cen sus reports of the parishes in Connec- ticut. The increase of church property in Connecticut has been gratifying, and the insurance on the property is at present considerably over s4, 900 900. The total indebtedness is about S1 .25O.- 900. The number of marriages during the year 1897 was 2,142, of which 266 were mixed marriages; that is, one of the contracting parties was not a member of the Catholic church. The number of baptfsms was less than 100 short of 10000, which was an increase of 120 over the previous year.
 During the month of January each year the pastors make a report to en- able the Bishop of the diocese to give an accurate report of his diocese Bish- op Tierney is well pleased with the re- suit of last years work, both spiritual and material. For the past few months he has been making the canonical visi- tation of the parishes, and although the work is no more than one quarter accomplished, he is satisfied that each parish is in even a better condition than the official reports indicate. The constant advance in population both from natural increase and immigration goes on from year to year.

CURIOSITY IN SMALL ARMS.

Patrick Quinn, who works at the Y. M. C. shops, and who lives over near Hollister's mills, picked up recenly on the lots near his dwelling a curious weapon in the shape of a brass pistol, about five inches long. It has a per cussion lock, although evidently old, but the hammer is forward of the nip pie and falls toward the holder of the weapon, instead of away from him, as is usual. The barrel is of brass and the handle of wood. brass covered, the covering being engraved by hand and all the work showing careful and curi- ous workmanship. The style of the thing. it's singular make and the rever- sal of the usual positions of hammer and nipple make it very curious wea- pon indeed. None other like it was ever seen in this section, and when found it had become very much rusted and a portion of the wood of the handle had rotten away.
