French chanson, but 'Wein, Webb und

been made ridiculous by the chalk held
in the hand of an enemy. A French
duke has a modern high hat put upon
him and holds in his arms an angry
cat. A lady of the time of Nine. De
Pompadour is decorated with whiskers
and displays at ridiculous angle tiny
parasol. So the mighty have fallen. Aft
er the first applause a few lines are said,
and suddenly there rushes on the stage
a big, dashing, handsome German to
protest because he cannot do as he
wants, and he wants to make play

second elapses before the house is filled
with sincere applause. 1t is to well
come Faversham, the young, distingue
leading man of the company.
Scarcely have the echoes died and he
has just finished bowling his acknowl-
edgment when in from the rooms of the
conquered there comes a gentle priest,
and then the applause begins again,

TENDERS HIS RESIGNATION
Walter Damrosch Sewers His Conneo-
ton with the Symphony socie-
~ of New York City.

Walter Damrosch has rendered his
resignation to the Symphony society,
snd it has been accepted. Mr.. Dam
rosch will, it is expected, retire from
the direction of the Oratorio society as
well. Mr.. Damrosch writes in part:
MY reasons are, primarily, that for a
year at least desire to withdraw from
public life as far as possible to enable
me to devote myself more than hereto
fore to musical compositions"
The directors of the Symphony or
cAestra accepted the resignation with
regret and passed resolutions.
1t is well understood that at the pres
ent moment Emil Paur, of Boston. has
no positive engagements in New York
city, whether he will ultimately have
them or not. II is thought thai he will
certainly be elected director of the
Philharmonic.

THE ASTOR BATTERY.
Details of the Fighting Force DefnR
Raised and Equipped by
John Jacob Astor.

George f. Hawkins, the private sec.
retary of John Jacob Astor. gives the
| following informatio about the light
artillery which Mr.. Astor is organic
ing and the services of which he has Of
fcred TO the United States government:
Applications of men anxious to en-
list in the battery are being received
daily at the Office of MIR Astor. Those
applying are all of desirable class,
able-bodied young men. many of whom
have had previous military experience.
None of them has yet been examined
physically.
"Mr. Astor will equip the battery
completely. 1t will be known as the As
tor light battery. He will provide ev-
erything, men. horses. guns, carriages,
ammunition. In fact, all that is needed
to enable the battery to take the field
on short notice. Nothing as yet has
been decided upon as to how the bat
tery will be differed, whether by reg
ular United States artillery officers or
by others.
81 do not think that Mr.. Astor will
have personal command in the bat
terry. AS 7 understand it, the battery
will have the regular United States
complement of six guns and the regular
number of men. some $50 in all. 7 be-
lieve."
Military men say that for $4,000 Mr..
Astor could equip the battery in the
very best manner.

Enthusiastic Demonstration at the Chair
Factory Saturday Afternoon.
The magnificent flag purchased by
voluntary subscriptions by the patri-
otic employees of the Marietta Chair
Factory was flung to the breeze Satur-
day afternoon in the presence of a
large and enthusiastic crowd Of specta-
tors who could not restrain cheer as
the starry emblem spread its folds to
the breeze The idea of the purchase
of the flag and the subsequent demon
on the part of the employees, who first
conceived it only a few weeks ago.
Every man and boy who had hand in
it should be more than pleased with the
success of the ceremony.

"THE ARTFUL DopGER ,

We have been told that saints have
been calm while stretched upon the
rack, and that the early Christian
sometimes sung hymns in the midst OF
torture, and in our own time people
haye smiled while in the dentists
chair, but we never heard of a woman
whose temper was SO amiable that she
could behold unmoved her lawn and
pavement Uttered with handbills
known as dodgers.
Everything seems to be advertised in
this way, but the notices of patent
medicines are especially obnoxious.
We are entreated to try John SMITH

These are really dangerous, as child
rem sometimes mistake them for candy.
The boys who distribute these dodg-
ers seem to take a fendish delight in
scattering dozen or more of them
broadcast over a clean yard or pave
ment. Why are they not instructed by
the men who employ them to leave one
at each house?
The dodger nuisance seems to be a
small matter, yet it has much to do
with the untidy appearance of our
streets. We have been told that there
is law forbidding the careless scat
tering of papers, banana skins, etc., on
the streets, but it is surely dead let
ter in our city.
We admit that this nuisance is rot as
loathsome and unhealthy as the spit
ting habit is, yet is very annoying and
ought to be abolished.~
The ladies of the Village Improve
ment Association are making an effort
to improve the appearance of our city.
As we receive no compensation for our
labor and have no political AK to grind,
we ask the citizens of our place to lend
us a helping haud, and any encourage
ment will be thankfully received.

THE PHILIPPINES.
Legal Opinion on Our Right to
Dispose of the Islands.
We Are Eutitled TO Hold Them Until
HostiIities Are Ended, When They
VIII be Factors in the MAX
ing of Peace.

Frederick R. Coudert, the eminent
lawyer and jurist, who represented the
United States in the Behring sea com.
mission, in an interview gave his views
of the disposition of the Philippines as
follows:
THE United States has the right to
either hold the Philippines for indenl-
nifty or to keep them altogether as part
of her territory, just as Germany took
Alsacc-Lorraine IN the Franco-Prus-
sian war. We may keep possession of
them until hostilities are ended, und
then their disposition be one of the fac
tors in the making of peace.
I'VE would, of course, have to respect
the vested rights of other nations IN
the islands, if they have any. These
rights would include coaling stations,
liens or mortgages on custom houses
and claims of that nature. Spain can
not give us any more than she owns.
"1f we can find sufficient indemnity
nearer home. for instance. in Cuba, we
would possibly content ourselves with
holding the Philippines for use as II
military or naval base, but if adequate,
Indemnity could not be procured in
this hemisphere. then we would hold
Manila until Spain paid up. Some ar
rangement would be made whereby we
would keep possession for certain
number of years while Spain was pay
ing the instruments of the indemnity
This is all matter of contract and
agreement between nations.
In regard to the selling or transfer
of the islands to another power by the
United States, that could not be done
until we had valid title to the islands.
which can be obtained only by treaty
of peace with Spain, in which she cedes
the islands to us. Otherwise we would
be selling disputed title and the coun-
try that purchased it would have TO
reckon with Spain.
THE law is the same among nations
in this respect as among private per-
sons. This law was observed between
France and Austria in 1859, when Pied
mont was turned over by Austria to
France, and by France handed over TO
King Victor Emanuel.
The theory of modern times is that
principality or province should not be
turned over to another nation without
the corsent of its people and plebes-
cite is usually held as in the case of
Nice and Savoy.
Once having secured title from
Spain. however, by treaty of peace,
there could be no legal international OBJ
'ections to our disposing of the islands,
either by ceding or selling them to any
nation we chose or by offering them to
he highest bidder, but such proceed
ng would cause jealousy and bad feel
ng among the nations.
But this is not Il war of conquest,
Ind | do not think the United States
would resort to any such practice. But
We have a Legitimate claim against
pain for the expenses of the war, and
pain must pay the costs. When that
S done, the United States, believe,
sill rclinquish al! claims to the Phil
ppine islands and return them to
pain"

New YORK, May 14.-Mr. Dawes,
Comptroller of the Currency, came on
from Washington today, calling at
Philadelphia on the way, and visited
some of the leading downtown banks
and the Subtreasury. Although be had
taken the precaution to notify the
Presidents of several of the banks of
his coming and his desire to see them,
it was declared that his visit was mere
one of courtesy. In some quarters,
however, it was declared that his visit
had reference to the proposed war loan,
and the part the national banks are ex-
pected to take in floating it. Besides
calling on the leading bank Presidents
Mr.. Dawes also called on ex-Comptrol-
Ter Trenholm and one or two other
fnaaciers.

Cigarettes and Soldiers

The injurious effects of the cigarette
habit are shown in the result of the
examination of recruits for the regular
army.
According to the reports of the med
ical corps of the army the percentage of
reflections among the applicants for en-
listment is almost three times as great
as it was when the Union army was be-
ing recruited to fight the war against
rebellion. One physician who has ex-
amined number Of papers of would-be
volunteers finds that most of the men
who fail to pass the medical examinat-
ion are afflicted with weak parts or lack
the vitality necessary in good soldier,
and he attributes this weakness to the
increase of the cigarette habit among
young men.

She should Not Accept Gifts Nor So
ciaI Recognition from Employer.
"You may meet your employer So
cinlly," writes Ruth Ashmore, in an
article on "1he Business Girl and Her
Employer" in Ladies' Home journal,
"but during the hours that you are in
the Office you are employed by him, and
you have no right to claim, and he has
no right to ask. any social recognition.
You can always be polite; you need not
be hard hearted, and there can be,
without harm, an exchange Of pleasant
words. But during business hours
there is wisdom in attending to your
business and doing nothing else. Your
se,f-respect should not allow you to be
free in your manner with the different
Clerks who are your companions, and
you should be wise enough not to have
a confidante in the office.
'No matter who your employer is.
you cannot afford to accept lunchcons,
drives. flowers, or any special social rec
ognition from him. do not mean that
all men are bad Again, I thank God
there are thousands Of good men, but
masculine human nature is weak, and
when things have gone wrong at home
there is an immense satisfaction to the
average man in getting sweet sym
pathy, which he probably does not de-
serve, from pretty, charming girlwho
believes in him. But you are hired to
work, not to cater to the emotions of
your employer, and when you are doing
your work faithfully you are doing all
that you are paid for"
