regarded as very dangerous to children, who
may suck off the paint or swallow pieces
that may be Clipped off.

export from the United States may be eX-

to have the appointment vested in the Gov
ernor, and it would be better 10 have the
state superintendent of public instruction
selected by some board which the people
and the executive cannot reach. The policy
of government vests appointments of state
boards in the Governor, and there should
be no exception. Besides, there are good
men outside of the heads of these institu-
tons and three city superintcndents whose
services would be valuable on the board
Massachusetts has such a board, and it is
probable that other States are able to avail
themselves of the services of educated men
who are not the heads of institutions or
employed in the schools Let the board of
education be selected just the same as the
other boards, except with the provision that
not more than one-half be selected from
men who are known to be of one party.

FIGHT FOR A GREAT ESTATE.
Mrs. Druce Trying to Prove Her Son
Is the Rightful Duke of Portland.

LONDON, Nov. 25-The faculty of the
diocese Of London has granted Mrs. Maria
bruce, daughter-in-law of the late Thomas
G. bruce, who, she asserts, was the fifth
Duke of Portland, a permit to open and
inspect the coffin alleged to contain the re-
mains of her father-in-law or man buried
as Thomas c. bruce. Chancellor Tristan,
in rendering the decision at the Consstory
Court of st. Paufs, granted fifteen days for
an appeal. Notification or an appeal was
Immediately filed.
A final order was obtained by Mrs. bruce,
in the High Court of Appeals. on Nov. %,
directing the faculty and chancellor of the
diocese Of London to issue a permit to al
low her to open the coffin. Mrs. bruce claims
that the alleged death and burial Of her
father-n-law were receptions and that he
lived and finally died in a lunatic asylum
as DR.. Harmer. Her son, who, she as
serts, is the rightful Duke of Portland is
said to be a domestic servant and was last
heard of in Australia. Mrs. bruce says her
father-in-law as the fifth Duke of Portland
having suffered keen remorse and abiect
fear as the result of the tragic death of his
brother, Lord George Bentinck, both Of
whom were in love with the same woman,
adopted the name of Thomas Charles Druce
thereby transferring to himself as bruce an
immense property from himself as Duke of
Portland. Having realized the risk of ex-
posture from his double existence he caused
a coffin to be buried with his supposed re-
mains If Mrs. bruce can establish her
contention that her father-in-law did not
die in 1864, as supposed, the win can be
inValidated and her son will become entitled
to the estate and title now neld by William,
innate of the dukes rent roll placed the
amount at nearly 100000 yearly.

Health in the philippines.
Prof; Dean e. worcesters Book on "Tf
Philippines"

Philippines"
1t is unfortunately true that the climate
of the Philippines is especially severe in it's
effect on white women and children. 1t is
very doubtful, in my judgment, if many sue
cessive generations of European or American
children could be reared there. We must
then, think necessarily admit that we have
here serious, though not necessarily in
surmountable, obstacle to the development
of the great resources Of this remarkably
country.
Malaria and digestive troubles aside. the
health of the colony is fairly good, and the
danger from epidemic disease is compare
lively slight. Smallpox is always present,
but it seldom spreads rapidly as a large
percentage of the natives have it during
childhood. so that there is hardly material
for an epidemic. Cholera is infrequent, but
when it once starts cannot be controlled. The
natives believe that a black dog runs down
the street, and the disease breaks out be-
hind him. They declare that it is the will
of God, and refuse to take the simplest pre-
cautions.
Leprosy occurs. but is not common. There
is a great deal of biri-biri in Balabac. and
have seen it in Mindoro. The bubonic plague
has fortunately never gained hold in the
PhiliDDinpS.

If the people received the full benefit of
the excess of the expenditure for the post
Office department over the receipts. there
could be no objection to it. but there is rea-
son to believe that several million dollars
are paid for railroad transportation which
would not be paid if the business of the
postofice were managed as is successful
private business. If the congressional COM
mission that is investigating postal expendi-
lures shall go to the bottom of the matter
and fail to find a basis for the general inn
preston there can be no cause of complaint
For that reason the result of the investi-
cation is awaited with interest.

Troops have been sent to pursue them.
These bands are supposed to be the van
guard of a large force which has been gath

ing favorable opportunity to move. The
government received notice of the presence
of the revolutionists in time to mass troops
on the frontier before the invasion began.

ton OF all live animals in France this year
are very nearly balanced, with the excep-
ton of sheep. There is more demand for
those animals than for any other live stock.

President Mckinley yesterday furnished a
new illustration of his political tact When

the President informed the secretary that
he would be pleased to consider any plan
the league might offer short of surrender Of
the islands to Spain. In other words. If the
