THE CAMPAIGN NOT ENDED.

There must be some mistake in the dis
patch from Manila yesterday in which it
was stated that Gen. Otis would have to
bring the present campaign against Agui-
naldo to an end within a day or two on
account of the beginning of the rainy sea-
son. According to a report just filed with
the war department by Gen. Greene, who
was at Manila with Gen Merritt, the
rainy season does not begin until June l.
He says that the period from March / to
May l is called the hot and dry season,
and that the temperate and wet season is
from June 1 to Oct. l, the heaviest rain
falls occurring in July and August. AS
Stunning that Gen. Greene's statement Is
correct Gen. Otis has nearly two months
yet in which to conduct operations. In that
time Aguinaldo's army may be SO scat
tered that it viii be impossible for him to
offer sufficient resistance to command the
respect of his own people
Gen. Greene says one thing in his report
which, IL true, is a strong justification of
the course which our government has pur-
sued so far in the Philippines. 1t is that
Aguinaldo's soldiers have not been paid,
and understand that Aguinaldos govern
ment is not able to pay them. They expect
ed when they entered the army to get their
pay by footing Manila. The greater part
of the property in Manila is owned by for
eigners. We destroyed the Spanish gov
eminent, the only government capable of
protecting the city. and therefore we be-
came responsible for the city. 1t became
our duty to protect the property there.
And we would not have attacked Agui-
naldo's army until every means for secur-
ing a peaceful settlement of our differences
with the Filipnos had been exhausted. A
peaceful settlement would in all probabili-
ty have been reached If Aguinaldo had not
attacked our army.
Gen. Otis win not withdraw his army to
Manila until he has practically put an end
TO the power of Aguinaldo. Within the
next month he will accomplish that unless
he meets with some unexpected setback
Even the expected guerrilla warfare will
not amount to as much as some writers on
Philippine affairs think it will
Gen. Otis knows how to dear with guerriI-
las, and the Filipinos will not find warfare
of that kind as effective against our troops
as it was against the Spaniards. 1t is not
improbable that Aguinaldo, seeing the
hopelessness of his cause will agree to
such terms as we may offer him. And there
are reasons for thinking that our terms
will not be hard ones The people of the
United States will not permit the Filipinos
to be oppressed in any way. They intend
that they shall have government of their
own just as soon as they are qualified to
carry it on.

THE FUNNY FOOL.

Frederick r. Farrow, a young drug
clerk, is the defendant in a suit for SIS 900
damages before a Philadelphia court. He
is responsible for the running of the hands
of a young lady of his acquaintance and
the loss of one of them. After dinner one
day Farrow seized the hands of the young
lady, who had always been his friend and
well-wisher, and began squeezing them.
The young lady begged him to desist. as
the queezing was painful but he only
squeezed the harder. She cried with pain.

THE HUNDRED YEAR CLUB DINNER

Club dinners, and the price per plate,
have lately been leading topics in New
York; hence when the announcement was
made that the Hundred Year Club would
sit down TO IS banquet at the Waldorf
Astoria, public interest was aroused in the
organization. Eminent local politicians
began at once to seek Information about
the club. They asked each other. who's
de main guy of dis push?" "It is sup to
Croker or agin him?"' What mugs is de
ward leaders," and similar questions. 1t
was quickly learned. however that the
Hundred Year Club was not a political or
ganization and was not going to celebrate
Jefferson's birthday. 1t is. indeed. an ag-
gregatlon of thoughtful persons who are
making a study of longevity. and the
hight of its present ambition is to master
the rule for living a hundred years.
The members of the club some weeks ago
real progress towards the desired goal, and
they wished to have a banquet at which
they could celebrate the success of their
search after knowledge, and at the same
time give a practical demonstration of
what they had learned respecting How to
Eat in order to Live One Hundred Years.
They would, they agreed, give a banquet
at which all Of the dishes and all Of The
drinks should aid the consumer in reach

by injuring his digestion or impairing his
cerebral vitality. 1t was to be a great
spread, from a scientific point of view. 1t
was to be literally a feast of reason and
flow of soul Those things have been oft

member would proposed a certain dish,
another would oppose 1t, on the ground
that il contained too much starch, too
much sugar. or too much fat And the
next suggestion would be met with the OBJ
lection that the dish contained too little of
something, or an overplus Of something
else, which would ruin the digestion. And
thus the contention waxed warm. No
agreement could be reached on any article
that should go upon the banquet board.
save filtered water. Water is good enough
in its way, but it is too light a diet to
constitute a club banquet at s. per plate.
AS no compromise could be arranged, the
banquet was abandoned.
There is a humorous side to the matter,
and it Is that side which first strikes the
observer; but there is at the same time d
lesson in 1t. II Is this; that notwithstand-

Opie Read, the novelist, and Charles

ing in certain town, just as Banks had
started to recite favorite and touching
poem-his own-a donkey In a shed just
behind the opera house" lifted up his
mighty voice, and brayed as hoarsely and
vociferously as ever donkey did. The par
tition wall between the opera house and
the donkey shed was so thin and open
that it seemed as If the donkey was at
Banks elbow.
The poet managed to get through his
verses despite the discordant accompani-
ment, and then Reads turn came He
went on and told a story, and the donkey
was respectfully silent. But when Banks
went on again the Balaamite steed broke
forth with renewed vigor The audience
Uttered, and Banks was indignant, but
pulled through.
Again Read told a story without hin
drance, and then again the donkey started
in with Banks. A rude boy in the gallery
