WAS POLITICAL JoBBERY.
Prof. Sumner Has bad Opinion of His
Country and the War.

New Haven, January l6-Prof. W. q.
Summer of Yale University, tonight sd-
dressed large audience on the subject OF
1.-The Conquest of the Cnited States by
Spain.
1t was an arraignment OF the expan-
sion view and pointed out that. although
the United States had signally defeated
Spain in a military war, yet the abso-
Lutte unpreparedpess Of this country for
the problems now enforced upon us for
solution was quite otherwise than in
keeping with ordinary conquests. SPAIN
ish ideas and Spanish policy must of
necessity in measure enter into Ane-
rican policy and We are by force OF cir
cumstances compelled to adopt the prin-
clples Of the old world colonizing ma
tions He said that the late war was
nothing more nor leas than political
jobbery. but 1t was early found neces-
sary to find other arguments for the peo-
he said, that the conditions reported In
Cuba were not true; that we we're not
justified in our haste. A policy OF
haste Is not statesinanlike and now all
that lies beyond our own policy Is poor
ly advised and can lead only TO disaster.
Prof. Sumner was of the opinion that
our most important inheritance from
Sp ain will be the repression OF rebellion.
Our method is wrong because IL
smothers liberty. The right met1od Is
o enjoy our isolation and the fruits OF
our splendid government and TO allow
others the same privilege.

WHY WE WANT THE PHILIPPINES.
Shanghai, January i6.-Mr. John Bar
rett, formerly United States minister 10
Siam. In an address before the Shanghai
chamb ber Of commerce. today on the ques.
tion OF American control of the Philip
pines, said he feared that the opponents
at home of such control did not appre
ciate Its vital Importance to the exten-
sion of American commerce and iDfiu-
ence in the far east. where immea surable
opportunities would otherwise be lost.
The failure to assume and maintain con-
troll. said Mr.. Barrett, would forever rele-
gate the United States TO IA secondary
place In the Pacific. As for the difficult
ties OF governing the archipelago. these
and his followers could lie pacified with
a mixture of diplomacy and firm ness nor
would the Monroe doctrine be violated,
for the occupation Of the philippines by
the United states was not direct act Of
but this inevitable result OF
war in which grave responsibilities had
been unavoidably entailed,
Mr.. Barrett emphasized the fact that
the nations which, like England, were
chiefly concerned approved of permanent
American control and concluded with the
that all nations interested could
safely trust to tho good Judgment OF
President Mckinley.

ABOUT FANS.

Nobody knows when or where the
fan originated. Probably on a warm
day Eve picked a big palm leaf and
since then all her descendants have but
followed her. From all quarters of the
globe fans are to be found In the
dusky recesses of the pyramids, the
tombs of old Rome. the interior OF At
RIGA and the far islands of the Pacific.
fans are fOund-some beautiful, others
grOtesque.
The dainty fifteenth century fan Of
Spain was made of rice paper, adorned
with feathers and often painted by
great artists In France, where some
of the most beautiful fans were made,
a lovely one was given by Queen Mar
guerite to Louise de Lorraine, valued
at 5000. Catherine de Medici was the
first to bring Italian feather fans into
France.
The ceremonial fans of Hindustan,
especially those of beautifully wrought
feather work with gem-incrusted jade
handles, which were borne before the
sacred car of the god Juggernaut, have
been known to be worth many thous-
ands Of dollars. And it was doubtless
Oh dCCOuuI VI UllelT great value IudI
the fan eventually became the symbol
of the gods and of royalty. So high a
place, indeed. did the fan come to take
in Hindu religious ceremonials. that
one of the chief joys promised to the
faithful in the five paradises is the fam
ming of the deity Ixora, who dwells in
Calaya.
In ancient Egypt the fan was an en-
blem of heaven and happiness. and the
shape Of these instruments have been
preserved for us in the frescOes of the
tombs and ancient monuments. In the
time of RameseS the Great (circa B. c..
1850 the fan waS~used as a standard,
and was carried only by royal princes

At WHITE HOUSE.
Nine Big Social Functions
of Each Season.
Kun Over Only Six Weeks Trying
Times for the Executive Circle
Demand for Cards.

There are nine functions, including
the state dinners, given each winter by
the Chief Executive. They begin with
the New Years public reception, and
finish about the middle of February,
with one similar in character, TO which
the whole world if it like, has free and
easy access. Receptions and dinners
follow each other in hot haste during
the intervening six weeks First, the
Cabinet dinner during the week Of
January LIST; next the exclusive and
dignified diplomatic and judiciary re-
ceptions, a week apart, each with its
complementary dinner, the diplomatic
feast including many guests while at
the other dinner only the weighty men
of law on the Supreme bench and their
wives participate. During the last
week in January and the first week in
February the army and navy and Con-
gressional receptions take place. En-
tree to these two functions is possible
only through the ''open sesame of
beautifully engraved cards. The
struggle for these bits of paper with
magic words by those who hover on
the brink of White House social re-
cognition is constantly amusing-nay
even at times pathetic, when women
set forth almost whimsical
pleas for admission, with a grieved
persistence, in the offices of the man
sion itself. If requests for Invitations
must be made, they should be referred
direct to the Secretary of the Presi-
dent; but, nothing hindered by the de-
mands of etiquette, every official in the
White House circle is importuned for
cards. The diplomatic and the army
and navy receptions are looked upon
as the most recherche gatherings of
the season, and, in keeping with the
rich plumage of the guests, the house
is literally embowered with the rarest
of exquisite blossoms and eXOtics |
which the Government gardens can
furnish.
The floral decorations for the nine |
social events, including the three din
ners given this year-and every year, |
for that matter at the White House. |
would draw on the purse of a private |
if the flowers were furnish !
ed by professional florists. to the |
amount of $4,000.

MIRACLES OF SCIENCE.
New York WOrld(

No intelligent person is now aston
ished at any announcement Of a new
victory of science over nature, and we
accept with composure the assertion
that Professor Wood. OF Madison. Wis,
has succeeded in making photographs
of waves of sound in air.
What a relief to weary ears is sug-
gested by this discovery, Instead OF
listening to the noise of debate in con-
gress, instead of following the discus
sion of the great questions of the Phi
lippines or of free silver, or trying to
read it all, we shall hereafter get Pro-
fessor Wood to photograph the sound
waves and look at the pictures Of the
noise, which we can study and decip-
her at our leisure.
The obvious advantage of the new
method is that it will diminish the pre-
valent nervous disturbance without in
any wise impairing the value of the
general result. A substitution of a

NEW USE FOR THE "HORSELESS.'

The automobile is credited with an
other virtue besides assisting the busy
man or woman in getting to a desired
place in hurry The New York ply
stefan has discovered that in taking
X-ray pictures and using electricity on
his rheumatic patients, he does not
find it necessary to transport large
electric batteries. He simply calls the
automobile over the phone and, as it
stands by the door, he attaches it's
storage battery wires, which lead to the
sick room. The current is regulated
by small instrument, and the cleo
trical treatment Or X-ray picture is
taken without further trouble.
