The Parl. EcIslr Comment.

Paris, Nov. S.-The Eclair to-day,
after reproducing all the six articles
of the peace protocol, says: 1T is to
be hoped the United States will not
maintain their first pretensions in re-
gard to the Philippine islands. 1t is
one, however, which interests Spain
only, but Germany, from time to time.
allows it to be thought that she is not
indifferent to the fate of the islands
and the possibility of interference
from their power will perhaps caus.

press over the attitude of the United
States toward the Philippine question.

scorn and defiance of the Americans

Termination to keep the Philippines.

that it is purely question for the

A MEMORIAL prepared by Charles ii.
Butter and others was recently pre-
sented to the president, asking that this
government call an international con-
vention to consider the question of
making private property free from
capture on the high seas in time of

politics would make this move by the
United States particularly acceptable
TO the remainder of the world ut this
time, and. beside saving untold loss to
innocent non-comb batants in case OF n
general war, would win the gratitude

DIR. BARApUC, who lately created a
sensation by his revelations before the
congress of psychology at Munich,
claims now to have devised delicate
instrument known as the "biomctcr"

force in man. When man is in per-
feet health the vital current plays
through his system from right to

everything needed to maintain the eu-

when IL started for the front.
on one section OF this long hospital
train that rolled through Providence
yesterday were more than 40 men. All
OF them were sick; some Of them were
very sick. Assigned to care for all

Bile trip in the most trying weather that

No description is necessary to assist
the imagination to picture the misery
OF the trip.
Now, the other day, shipment of 75
horses for our batteries at Quonset
came through Providence. The horses
were clean OF limb. sleek. strong and
well in every bone and sinew. And a
considerate government sent two vet
ernary surgeons along with these 75
horses to care for them, to watch ten
derly over them, to be ready for the
slightest sign of sickness or disability.
The contrasting pictures of the train
load of soldiers and the trainload OF
horses suggest reflections which, IL not
altogether suitable for print, will. 1t
may be believed, meet with the same

ORDERS AND
SOCIETIES
ODD FELLOWS.

A writer in a, local contemporary
credits Past Grand Master Bourlet, OF
New Hampshire. with the following
somewhat cruel statement: indiana
evidently takes the lead in small lodges.
Harrison LODGE No. S4, OF Harrisburg,
has six members only. and all past
grands; Cythian lodge. No. 52s. has
eight members, seven past grands;
Poseyville. No. 26s. has nine members,
all past grands; Independent, No. 42s,
has 10 members, nine past grands.
What earthly use such lodges can be
to the members or to the order Is more
than can be imagined"
Such a statement, coming from man
of ability, such as must be past grand
master. has the effect of surprising a
man OF sober reasoning. and he can
hardly believe that IL was uttered by
Brother Bourlet, for the lodges in ques-
ton certainly are of use To the MEM
bers just as larger ones are in larger
communities. The fact that they exist
with such small membership shows
that the members are enthusias-
tic and are endeavoring, under difficult
ties, TO perpetuate and enlarge the or
der in country where. if they did not
maintain their existence, the order
would have no standing or representa-
tion whatever. Instead of ridicule be-
ing cast upon them 1t appears TO the
writer that these struggling lodges
should be encouraged to keep up their
glorious work.
An amendment to the constitution of
the sovereign grand lodge will be pro-
posed at the meeting of that body to be
held in Boston the coming month. 1t
provides for biennial sessions of that
body.
The proposed change, II is said, lis
In the line of economy, but will be in
definitely postponed, the same influences
that have given us unsatisfactory legis-
lation--too much that is not well con-
sidered before its adoption. III sessions

until IL had been favorably acted upon
