IRRITATING POLICY.

Germany is allowing her fleet to do just
enough to excite American animosity,
the Journal of Commerce says, without
doing anything to really check our opera
tions. No policy could be more foolish
than this II Germany Ia genuinely ag-
gressive she should land force in Ma
Mia for the ostensible protection of her
commercial interests, and assert her right
to part of the spoils of the victim now.
Ii she is not bent ON trouble with the
United States she should keep out of our
way till we have finished with Spain and
then deal with which ever power was
left at the end CT the war in possession
of the Philippines for whatever territori-
al favors she has determined to acquire.
But without taking anything by force
Germany is doing everything by sys-
tematic bal manners to secure our i'll
will and our unwillingness to ooncede
10 herany status in the Philippines. Ger
many chooses the undignitied and the un-
profitable position of tn o spectator who
will neither fight nor be friendly. Her
present effort seems to be to ascertain
just how much bullying and iusolsnce
the United States will DO patient under,
with the hope that we will make some
mistake and give her q chance TO use
force under color CT resisting aggression.
The lrene's lost anchor seems to mark
the spot where patience ceases.

The Caroline islands, or New Philip
pines, are "a group of islands in the Pacific
between the Philippines and the La
drones. They have an area of about 1000
square miles, and include several hun
dred small islands. The archipelago is
divided into 48 separate groups. The
principal groups are the .Pelow, mostly
coral islands; the zap, in which the isl-
ands are mountainous and contain many
rich mines. and the Egoi, also mountain
GUS. but more fertile and more thickly in
habited than the other groups The ISL
and lying farthest to the east, called
Nalan, is "a miles in circumference, and
has abundant supplies of fruit fish and
good water. The climate is mild and
agreeable. The islands have population
of about 10000, mostly of the Malay race
The islands were discovered in 1913 by
Lopez de Villabos, and have since been
nominally a Spanish possession. Their
principal product is oopra. The islands
are included in the Philippine govern
ment. Germany has long been anxious
to annex them, and several years ago at
tempted to do so. The question of their
ownership was submitted to the arbitra-
ton of the Pope, who decided it in favor
OF Spain.

TO SEIZE THE CARoLINEs.

New York, July 16.-The Sun today
says:
Honolulu, July 8, via San Francisco,
July 16.-While the Monterey was here
Commander Leutze had a numb Der of con-
situations with Capt. Isaac Bray OF the
Missionary bark Morning Star as to the
harbors and positions of the Caroline
islands. He borrowed Capt. Bray's
charts, ..and offered to have some new ones
sent to him from the United States to
replace them, but Capt. Bray preferred
to have his own because of notations he
had made on them in various voyages.
Capt. Leutze was to mail them to Capt.
Bray from Manila or the nearest port he
should reach after the maps had served
his purpose.
From this it is believed that the Monte
rey has orders to raise the American
flag over the Caroline islands before pro
ceeding to the Philippines.
The Rev. Judson Smith, one of the
secretaries of the American Board of
Foreign Missions, while here on his way
from the Orient, held conference with
the Hawaiian board of foreign missions,
and expressed the belief that it would be
only a short time before the United States
seized the Carolines. Mr.. Smith urged
that the Morning Star be sent to the
Carolines MS soon as the news of the
seizure was received, with supplies to
the missionaries and to help in the work.
The vessel has been in port here nearly
three months, not daring to go to the
Carolines while the Spanish were in pos
session. She will sail as soon rs the news
of the seizure is received.

PoRus-PLAsrER ROOF.
a West virEinian shlngled His House
with Them.

A West VirEinian shIngied His House
with Them.
That story about the woman who
bought coffin plate engraved with a
pame different from her own, because,
as she said, her husband might die
and she might marry a man by that
name, and 1t might come in useful, Is
probably apocryphal, says the New
York Press. But the story of Pompey
Cochran, who saved his old porous
plasters because they might come in
useful some time, and finally Shin
gled" his house with them, is true,
and 1t comes from West Virginia.
Pompey was a soldier in the Confed-
crate army and was wounded at the
battle of Gettysburg. After the war
he settled down on little farm near
Mooresfeld, w. Va, and has lived there
ever since. The farm is small and
tompey is not prosperous. The only
thing that has flourished with him of
late years has been the pains caused
by his old wounds, and for those moth
ing afforded relief except porous plas-
tiers. He had contract with the
village druggist to supply him with
porous plasters by the gross, and che
tax on his resources became so great,
on account of being addicted to the
porous plaster habit, that he became
penurious and demanded that old tin
cans and broken forks and every other
odd and end should be saved. And es-
pecially he charged his wife to save the
old porous plasters. The plasters had
stuck to him and he would stick to the
plasters. He was as proud of his cab
met of old plasters as a man given to
the bric-a-brac and curio habit is of
his collections, and declared that some
time they would come in mighty han
dy. Now there were three buildings
on Pompey's farm-his house, his barn
and dilapidated building, where he
kept his farming tools and his collec-
tion of old tomato cans and his por-
GUS plasters. One night the house
burned down and the family moved in
to the Toulouse. 1t was good enough
except that the sun and the stars shone
through the roof. Then came the tri-
umph OF the porous plasters. Pom
pey got out his collection and shingled
that whole blessed roof with old plas-
tiers, and as they were thick with Ber-
gundy pitch they served well the pur-
pose and made the roof water tight
Now people come miles to see the
house shingled with porous plasters,
and Pompey says that they draw bet
ter than they did when they were on
his back.

BEFORE THE BULL FIGHT.

Chapel Where the Toreador Prays
That He May XIII Successfully.
'Now," said my friend, 1--WE will go
to the chapel" THE chapel?" "Why,
yes, the next room is a Email chapel
where every toreador goes before the
fight to pray and ask God and his pat
ron saint that his life be spared, and
that he be given the courage and
strength to take that of the bull" We
entered the small chapel, at one end
of which was an altar covered with
flowers and lighted candles, in the mid
die crucifix and behind painting Of
the Virgin Mary, says a writer in the
Illustrated American. One OF the tor
eadors came in and, kneeling at the
end of the altar, began to pray. What
a contrast This man, covered with
silk and gold, kneeling in front of the
Christ, asking for the protection of
the kind and sweet lover of humanity,
and asking lin order to kilD the pro-
lection of Him to whom all lives are
dear and precious. you see the man
there kneeling and praying?" said my
friend. well, he is Manuel Garcia,
generally called 'Espartero the great
est living toreador. He is the first
espado of Spain and is celebrated for
his courage. When he sticks the sword
in the bulls neck he never jumps
aside, as other toreadors do; no, he
wants to stop the bull there, to kill
him on the spot. AS it is nearly i'm
possible, he has often been seriously
wounded by dying bulls. He has saved
over 100000 pesetas He will retire
from the ring rich man in another
year" The man had finished praying
He left the chapel shaking hands with
his friends, and l could not help think
ing, "a rich man in one year; yet, pro-
vided-" But did not dare to fin
ish my thought even to myself, and
raising my eyes to the crucifix MUIR
INJURED involuntarily, God, spare him"
