To The Progress
On Friday Of last week, there
passed from this earth to blessed
eternity, the spirit Of one whose
name was a synonym of all that is
good, charitable and generous in a
noble womanhood. On this glad
some Christmas eve, while the
hearts of the children were bouy-
ant and happy with eager antici-
pations of the morrow, and the
elders were joyously contemplate
ing the happiness thus afforded
the little ones, the spirit of Mrs.
Minnie Gall was winging it's flight
to the Celestial Throne there to take
it's place among the angelic hosts
and sing hosannahs to the God,
whom she worshipped and served
in endless acts of charity and be-
nevolence.
Mrs. Gall was ever the friend to
the friendless, the mother to the
motherless, the adviser to the
thoughtless and the nurse and
comforter to the sick and distress
ed.
Mrs. Gall was born in Prussia in
1882 and was So years and 8
months O age at the time of her
death. She came to Shreveport

first in 1857, moved to Minden in
1859; was married to Jacob Gall in
1861 and returned to Shreveport in
1874, where she has since resided.
She leaves five children namely,
Mrs. Rachel Jacobs and Mrs.
Pauline Gardner, OF Atlanta, Tex,
Mrs. Lizzie Davis and Mr.. Elijah
Gall, Of Arcadia, La, and Miss
Annie Gall of this city.

A friend who evidently believes
in giving us flowers while we live,
told us of several Communications
passed on The PROGRESS recently
which, from the several antipodal
sources, was an exceedingly high
compliment.
The first was very prominent
minister who said, in the course of
a conversation in which the name
Of this paper was brought up. 81
like The PROGRESS because you
will always find it on the moral
side Of every question:.
The second instance was when a
number Of business men were
talking Of some business project
for Shreveport which was under dis
cussion, and the help Shreveport
papers would give; one prominent
merchant said: "Well we can
always rely on The PROGRESS,

effected. The Progress is always
ready to take big, deep hold, and
it doesn't seem to be afraid that it
will give some one a free adj
The third was a crowd of saloon
men who were talking about some
law which had been violated and
what the newspapers would have
to say in moulding public opin
ions. One said, ''I'll tell you what |
is the truth boys! The Progress
can be depended on to do justice
to all. l like that paper on that
account. If do something wrong
it don't jump on me because run
a bar room. 1t handles the offense
not the man, and treats all alike"
Another rejoined, 81 like it be-
cause it is game, spicy newspa-

Our roundsman treated to gum
on these compliments and went on
his way hustling for business.
But they are all highly appre-
ciated.

Annie Gall of this city.
A. FRIEND.
Thought his Time had Come.
One dark night this week Mr..
Lafayett Dove started to his room
to retire, contented with the
thoughts Of day well spent. He
CROPPED his way along the narrow
gallery knowing that the wall was
on one side and the gallery rail on
the other; but he could see not.
He bad intuitively calculated the
distance and was feeling for the
door knob when two big turkeys
which had quietly gone to roost on
the gallery rail Tapped their wings
and flew into space. Fayette says
that to say he was scared, would
be putting it too mildly.-Lecomp-

threatened with reaction from his
attack of military lockjaw. He has
announced his determination to assume
the leadership of the opposition, which
means, of course, that he will devote
his time, strength and attention to
talking for public edifcation and en-
lightenment. From all appearances
this announcement is not received
with approval by Mr.. Bryan's quon-

NEVER before in the history of the
United States has northern man re-
ceived such an ovation from the people
of the south as that accorded President
Mckinley by the people of Georgia on
the occasion of his address to the At
lanta peace jubilee. His words met
with hearty response from the southern
people and elected not only their
plaudits and tears, but their sincere
esteem. This cordial feeling for a
northern President of the United
States would be productive of good if
it would result in the conversion of the
southerner from some of his pernicious
political ideas.

WHEN President McKinley,s present

WHEN President McKinley's present
administration is over his Cabinet will
be so changed that no one will be able
80 recognize 1t. Secretary Bliss is the
next one to threaten resignation.
Knowing that he accepted the honor
under protest President Mckinley will
probably accept the resignation. In
that case it will be necessary to ap-
point a successor. Gov. Merriam, OF
Minnesota, is mentioned in connection
with the position, but it is rumored
that Senator Davis will antagOnize Mr.
Merriam's promotion on account of q
personal quarrel between the wives o.
the two gentlemen. Should this op,
position defeat the Minnesota Governor
there is material in Wisconsin to 81
the vacancy.

KENOsHA BoWLERS WIN.
Defeat their Racine Opponents By over
1900 Points.

The deciding game in the champion
ship bowling contest between the
Belle City club of Racine and the
Schlitz Globes and Naples of Ke-
nosha, was played at the Maple House
Thursday evening, and as a result the
home team now claim the champion
ship of the two cities.
The game last night was devoid OF
features, the Kenosha boys defeating
their opponents at almost every point
and winninr the game by a total of
1886 points. The bowling on both
sides was not up to the standard, but
several men on both sides made good
scores. Maurice of Kenosha, led the
list with score of IA out of "a total of
$50. Fl. Scholey was second, with a
score of 120. The best records from a
Racine standpoint, were made by Kor-
zelius and Weed, who bowled lO4 and
1O2, respectfully. Other games will be
arranged between the two teams in the
near future.
The complete score of the contest

A dispatch from Washington says
that the members of the Wisconsin
delegation will appear before the COM
mittee on rivers and harbors on Satur-
day to present in detail the points in
favor of appropriations for the various
rivers and harbors in the state on
which the government is expanding
money in the aid of navigation. Nearly
every district in the state has claims in
this direction. Mr.. Often will appear
in behalf of the Milwaukee harbor and
urge liberal appropriation to deepen
the harbor between the piers in order
to facilitate the entry of the larger
boats navigating the lakes. Mr..
Cooper is expecting to be able to gain
some concessions for the Racine and
Kenosha harbors, and Messrs Minor,
Rarney and Davidson will put in their
efforts for harbors on the west shore of
lake Michigan and along Green Bay.

The BOYS Indoor Team Defeat the Strong
YIN. G. A. Team.
One of the hottest indoor base ball
games ever played in Kenosha was
played Friday evening at the Com
pany E. armory between the teams
representing the Y. M. G. A. and the
high school. The game resulted in a
victory for the high school boys by a
score of Is to Ii but the game was not
settled until the last 7. M. G. A. man
was out in the ninth inning.
The High school boys played an ex-
tremely strong game. Schumacher
and Holderness who occupied the points
for the High school team did splendid
work and kept the Y. M. c. A. boys
guessing. Voight who was pitching
for the Y. M. G.. A. team was also in
good form and out pitched his Oppon-
emit from strike out stand point. The
boys played an excellent game but
we're badly handicapped on account OF
the size of the hail.

CAPT. CAMERON SURPRISED
Jolly Crowd Honor the Captain With &
Visit On His sixtieth Birthday.

Capt. G.. L. Cameron. head of the
Kenosha life saving crew passed the
sixtieth mile stone in his life on Thurs
day and on Thursday evening his wife
and children planned for him one of the
most pleasant surprise parties ever
given in the city.
AS a marine man there Is no one
around the lakes better known than
Capt. Cameron and his long service as
Captain of the Kenosha life saving crew
has won for him many warmhearted
friends among the boys who sail the
lake in fair and stormy weather.
On Thursday evening several of the
old time Captains from Chicago and
Milwaukee came in to assist in making
the birthday party great success.
The Captain was completely surprised
and was more embarrassed than he had
ever been when going out in the life
boat to pilot some vessel safely into the
harbor or to rescue lives from some
sinking craft.
The evening was very informal one
and all the guests had an exceedingly
jolly time playing cards and dancing
to the music furnished by Elsen's
orchestra. Late in the evening a
sumptuous supper was served, after
which the sailors pipe was lighted and
several hours were spent in spinning
yarns and stories of lake navigation.
1t was long after midnight when the
guests retired hoping that the jovial
Captain would live to be Captain of the
station for many years.

HELD A SPECIAL MEETING.
School Board Meet and Discuss the Hard
ware in the New Building.

ware in the New Building.
The Board of Eduation held special
meeting at the Office of superintendent
Mcdowell Friday afternoon for the
purpose of discussing the question of
hardware that is being placed in the
new Deming school. The contract, as
made with Mr.. Betting, provides that
the contractor must use hardware
made by the Chicago Hardware Co., or
other hardware satisfactory to the
Board. Mr.. Betting has been using
hardware made by the Redding Hard
ware company and superintendent of
construction thought that it was not up
to specifications.
Mr.. Redding, of Chicago, appeared
before the Board and stated that while
their hardware was sold cheaper than
that called for in the contract, it was
better than the product of the Chicago
Hardware Co. The only difference
was that one company's product was
made of steel bronztl plated and the
other was made of cast iron bronZed
plated. The comparison was greatly
in favor of the Redding hardware and
the Board authorized contractor Belt
ing to proceed with the work of using
the Redding furnishings, as it is full as
good if not better than the contracts
call for.

as an American possession for the
simple reason that we must do so.
We did not want them; we have no
special need for them beyond coaling
station, and their population, ranging
from few civilized to many semi
civilized and down"to barbarians, is
anything but desirable acquisition
to our population. They have great
wealth which, under the benefcent
rule of this government, would be
rapidly developed, but new necessities
and new duties, which largely out
weigh all mere considerations of profit
and loss, compelus to hold the Philip
pines and drive the Spanish flag from
the Pacific.
1t is evident from: the record made
by President Mckinley that he had no
desire to acquire any part of the Phil
ippines beyond coaling station, even
as late as the time when the peace
protocol was signed. But before the
peace protocol was known at Manila,
the capitol of the Philippines was
captured by our army, and the Philip
pines were ours by right of conquest.
If there were no other considerations
to interpOse against the return of the
Philippines to Spain, our government
would not be inclined to claim the
technical advantage of holding the
Philippines by conquest, but new and
memorable conditions have come upon
us since the capture of Manila and
they make it an imperious necessity for
us to hold them in their entirety as an
American province.
The events of the last six months
have brought England and the United
States into such relations as to make
their interests absolutely inseparable.
They have no treaty of alliance, and
they need none. They are the repre-
sentativ2s of the Anglo-Saxon power Of
the world, and no conditions can arise
in the near future, probably for gener-
ations to come, to make their estrange
ment possible. England saved III
from complications with other nations
during our recent war with Spain, anC
now that we have made Judgment il
the Pacific by the acquisition of thu
Sandwich islands and thes Ladrones, i
becomes an absolute necessity that thi
country shall hold not only the Philip
pine islands, but also an island in tht
Carolines, and thus with England hold
the key to China that is now threat
ened with ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
IF Spain were permitted to hold an!
of the Philippine islands, they would
speedily be sold to foreign power
which are hostile to the purposes o
England and the United States, an(
inevitably lead to disturbance of thu
peace of the world. With the United
States holding the Philippines and The
other possessions we have in the Pa
cifc, and supported as we shall be by
England, the future policy of the great
powers in Europe will be largely die.
tated by England and the United
States. This new duty has suddenly
come upon US without our seeking it,
and we must accept it. The Philip
pines are ours because they must be
under the Anglo-Saxon flag, and
England and the United States will
maintain the peace of the world by
hating the aggressions of disputing
powers at the cradle of the human
race Philadelphia Times.
