Vaccination Marks.

Genial Jim Camp was much disguised
man at the opera Thursday night. There
was Zele De Lussan thrilling haunting lit
tie Gypsy melodies as if she were indeed
of the Romany race, and yet the big audi
ence treated her with a silence that was
almost appalling, says the Louisville Com
mcrcial. That was the case at first.
OF course, the awoke, and after they
recovered from their circumstances
gave the great singer and actress the plau-
dts she SO richly merited. But this Incl
dent occurred during the period Of silence
Did you ever see such an audience ."
exclaimed Jim, fIetfully; they don't seem
TO ike her work."
"Oh, no. that isn't so" said a bright
Girl sitting next 60 him. THE men can't
applaud because they have been vaccin-
ated and the women slant stamp their
dainty feet for the same reason" Jim re-
lapsed into grim silence.

John L. Sullivan on the Filipinos:

bunch of heathens. 1 hear they are can
nibals, and If they catch a white man they
boil and eat him. viii America stand for
that kind of citizens? Not in a thousand.
This Aguinaldo is nothing but a fresh kid,
and he's making monkey of himself and
the rest of the Fiipinos. The only way to
make peace in the islands Is to exterminate
the whole push.

Philadelphia has Just received another
large foreign order for locomotives. Isn't
it passing strange why we can build the
best locomotives in the world, at prices
which induce foreigners to buy. and yet
we are unable to build the best ships at
similarly attractive prices? The fact Is,
probably, that we could build the ships, if
we would, but the shipbuilders are pull

The merchants of Havana, Santiago and
other Cuban cities know pretty well how
those 100000 which are to be dlsbursed
to the ex-Cuban soldiers will go, and they
are preparing to reap rich harvest of
profits. They have sent large orders to
New York and elsewhere for silver spurs,
fancy saddles. broad-brimmed hats, fancy
handkerchiefs and similar articles. It is
estimated that the ex-soldiers will spend
at least half of what they receive for gew-
gaWs.

1t frequently occurs when there is
shooting scrape and a killing, especially
in the South, that the correspondent who
reports the matter for the newspapers as
serts that one or both of the parties to
the affair belonged to highly respectable
families" or were prominent and well
thought of citizens" Such statements are
made for the purpose of increasing the
news value of the item. But they are in
the great majority of instances untruth-
ful- and very injurious TO the section from
which they are sent. Most killing scrapes
result from drunkenness. Persons who get
drunk and kill people, cannot be called
respectable. They may be well known"
but any disreputable bully may be that.
Those who shed human blood wantonly
are murderers. That the blood is shed
while the murderer is in liquor is worse
than no excuse. Correspondents should
stop calling drunken murderers respect
able.

large as reported. and viii be principally
among the negroes.
The rushing waters are rapidly accumu-
lating hundreds of dead horses and cattle
at the mouth of the BraZos
There were very heavy rains again to-
