A SOFT ANTI EXPANSIONIST.

Gen. Funston, the hero of the Philip
| pine war, up to this date, in an inter
view with Mr.. Wildman, the American
| Consul-General in Hongkong, said
| Strange as it may seem, | am almost
a 'peace-atany price, man. am Re
| publican, but / am an anti-expan-
| sionist, though not a bitter one" He
is in favor of subduing the rebels, and
| in making the Filipinos our friends
But he sees no trade advantages in ac-
curing the Islands. If Gen Funston
does not want the Islands, why should
other Americans want them, unless
they are more ignorant than he is
about their value?
The class of American citizens OF
which Gen. Funston is am excellent
representative, is one which favored
the Spanish war, on grounds of hu-
manity, but it did not lose its head.
With victory over the Spanish there
did not come sudden craze for setting
up the American flag in Asia, without
thought of what that involved. That
class accepted the cession of the
Philippines because the obligations of
the victory demanded it. 1t believes in
maintaining these obligations. costly
as it is to do SO.
The expanSionistS who want more
trade and more empire, the stump poll
ticians and patriots, are gradually los
ing their interest in this Philippine af-
fair. Like men of the lower races, they
are good for a squirt, but are discourag-
ed when they find themselves in a dead
pull The volunteers who were the
most irrepressible expansionists in the
beginning, have, after fighting in the
LuZOn swamps, become conservative,
and ask why the men who are shout
ing for expansion do not take a hand
in it, instead of shouting about it. At
the end of a year, the volunteers are
and the Nation is discharg-
ing it's obligations through the regular
army, the enlisted men thereof having
entered it without patriotic motives,
but for occupation and support.
Gen. Funston, brave as he is, would
have been mobbed, if he had said in
1898, what he has said in 1899. But
the ideas of the people, who are con-
Quoting this war. have changed. and he
expresses the change.

HOMICIDE In AMERICA.

Judge Parker of the United States
District Court, Arkansas, says that
from 1890 to 1895, inclusive, there were
about A 900 homicides in the United
States, and, during the same period,
there were 1913 executions after lawful
conviction, and Ills lynchings. The
United States Acknowledgement re-
ports to Congress that in one year
there were 10000 homicides, only 100
convictions of murder in the courts,
and 24O cases of lynching. Judge
Hyllyer of Georgia says that in 1896
more men were murdered in the coun-
try than fell at the battle of Gettys-
burgh.
This is rather a sad showing for
our civilization, but on analysis it will
be seen that the majority Of these
HON cides occur in the sparsely settled
districts, and many are due to the I'M
perfect machinery of all kinds which
are dangerous in use. In spite OF the
fact that the Flag prevails generally In
The States, it has not had so far, an
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1899-08-09

educating influence strong enough TO
suppress these shocking murders.
The experience of the criminal
courts is that the majority of hon.
icides are due to drunken brawls, and
are not malicious acts.
1t is not gratifying TO our national
pride to hear these comments on our
social life made in public by our public
officials. But they indicate, after all,
that it presents only a certain phase
of our character.

Funny Joke Costs n Circus Employe
His Life.
Binghamton, N. Y, June GA good
Joke caused the death of Fred Tearsoal, a
resident Of Battle Creek, Mich, and an
employe OF Wallace's Circus, which was
in the city yesterday.
Tearsoal had always been in the best Of
health and yesterday stood before the tent
door leaning against the pole talking with
some Of his fellow-employes.
One Of them told a story that caused q
general laugh. 1t struck Tearsoal as par
ticularly ludicrous and his laughter was
loud and long. When the mirth of the
others had somewhat subsided his contin-
ued unabated. He was red in the face and
gasped as he held his sides, which shook
with merriment.
Suddenly he collapsed, falling to the
ground, and his merry smile changed into
the strained lines Of death. At first his
companions did not realize what had hap
pened and they could not believe that
he was dead until doctor who was called
told them them that he was.
The day before an employe had dropped
dead at Carbondale, and 1t was decided to
hold an autopsy on Tearsoal. It was found
that he had had valvular affection Of the
heart. The doctors said that had it not
been for the violent fit Of laughter he
might have lived for years.

short time ago Locket had a pair of
trousers stolen from him. William Hardy,
a brother of John, and a chum of Locket,
returned the trousers to Locket, saying
that his brother John had taken them.
Shortly before 6 o'clock last evening
John Hardy rode into Stones farmyard on
a bicycle and called Locket out. A quar-
lei arose over the theft of the trousers,
and after displaying revolver and threat
ening to do Locket Hardy rode OFF.
Locket then went to his room and armed
himself with a revolver. In a few minutes
Hardy returned and Locket met him. The
quarrel was renewed. Suddenly Hardy, it
is said, whipped out his revolver and shot
at Locket and almost at the same instant
Locket returned the fire. He shot three
times in quick succession. but Hardy es-
capped unharmed. Hardy fired five times at
Locket, although but one shot took effect
entering his right breast just below the
nipple. Hardy then mounted his wheel
and escaped.
Locket walked into the kitchen and fell
He was placed in a wagon and taken to the
Cooper Hospital where the bullet was

Decision Concerning Rights of Chill
dren in Pnblic schools.

Wheeling, W. Va. June 6.-Judge JOS
eph PAUL, of the circuit court. has grant
ed the petition Of Louis Baumann for q
mandamus to compel the Wheeling Boart
of Education to allow the children OF
plaintiff to attend the public school with
out undergoing vaccination. Judge Paul
handed down a lengthy opinion in the case
in which he rules that where there is nc
especial cause to fear an epidemic OF
smallpox and children have not been ex-
posed to it there is no valid reason why
they may not attend public schools.
The case is one of the most unique or
record. The board passed an order a few
weeks ago requiring all children TO be
vaccinated. Baumann does not believe in
IL and brought suit The mandamus may
be taken to the supreme court of appeals.
AS several children died last year as a
result OF being vaccinated the people are
opposed to the practice. One child also
became insane after being vaccinated.

TERROR SPREAD BY A SPANIEL
Supposed Mad Dog in Possession OF
nm Apartment House.

m Apartment House.
New York, June 6.-There was a reign
of terror in an apartment house at No. 159
West Forty-fifth Street yesterday after
! noon, caused by a cocker spaniel, pur-
chased in Newport, R. l., the same morn
ing by Mr.. Barrett, the wealthy uncle and
guest from ireland of William J. Guard.
Dog fanciers in Newport assured Mr..
Barrett that the animal possessed long
pedigree. NJ. Barrett brought the dog to
New York, where the change of scene, the
noise, and the beat began to work on the
animals nerves. Believing that 1t need
ed the open air, an elevator boy was sent
out with the spaniel about noon for exer-
else. The animal darted about Broadway
until overcome by exhaustion and heat
Then its pitiful whines attracted large
crowd The dog was carried into near
by building and douched with cold water.
The frightened elevator boy thereupon hur-
ried home and rid himself OF his charge.
When again in the close rooms of the
Forty fifth Street apartment the dog was
seized with apparent madness. Both mas
ter and mistress were out and ii carried
the house by storm. On the roof several
servants were hanging out clothes and
boy was lazily pulling his elevator to an
upper floor, when with a Srowl the dog
made a dart from the door of the apart
ment.
1t sprang at the elevator car as 1t pass
ed the fifth floor. AS the elevator rose
higher the spaniel. foaning at the mouth.
pursued it, running the stairway. The
boy in the cage hoped to rescue the serv-
ants on the roof. but was not ready for a
race between his machine and a mad dog.
The latter was winning, and the boy let his
elevator descend with rush to the ground
floor. There he remained, refusing to
come out of his cage.
To the roof and through the open sky
light the little animal dashed. 1t darted
between long lines of linen hung to dry.
1t tore the aprons of the frightened serv
ants until their cries for help were heard
in the street. Finally it fell through the
skylight and landed at the feet of young
ment on the seventh floor. She ran into
lower fat while the dog continued its
mad career through the halls.
William Phillips, proprietor of a dog
and bird hospital, was notified shortly aft
er 5 O'Clock by the janitor. Up to that
time the servants had not ventured from
the roof. The elevator boys refused to run
the cars. The spaniel was still loose on
the upper floors.
TWO men drove from PhllIps' place in
wagon. With the aid of two policemen
they caught the dog, trembling from
fright, in dark corner. They held it
down In the wagon as they drove away.
The dog died before any remedies could
be applied.
One teaspoonful of water given earlier
in the day to the spaniel would have saved
its life. MIR. Phillips said bromide of DO
tassium applied internally would have
been sufficient to quell its later madness.
He believed the little animal was suffering
from convulsions.

Woman's College Graduates sacri-

Richmond. Va. June 6.-At the women &
college after the closing exercises in the
chapel yesterday the graduating class OF
twenty-five young women marched out
upon the campus singing the class song
and carrying bundles of paper and kind
ling wood in their hands. They built a
pile Of wood and paper and formed a circle
around 1t singing all the while. The presi-
dent of the class stepped forward, struck
a match on a stone and lit the pile. AS II
burned she unburdened herself of a dia-
tribe against the school books, closing
with these words: "Madly burn and for
ever wipe out every vestige OF the tire
some. wearisome, old. dilapidated, frus-
trating. vexing. miserable books"
Each of the class then threw in the book
that had been her own particular aversion,
repeating a few lines expressive OF pleas

st. Louis at Philadelphia.
PfttHburE at baltimore.

The final game OF the series with ST.
by the score of II to g. Mercer was in the
box for the locals and pitched a cool, steady
game. He held the St. Louisans down to
seven safe hits and gave only two bases on
balls. For only one inning did he for q
moment let down in his magnificent work.
In the fifth he allowed four hits, and with
these the Indians managed to score two
runs. Cuppy proved veritable pudding
for the locals. and they pounded him al
most at will. Atherton lead the Senators
at the bat. while Bonner excelled in the
field. Barry did grand work on the base
lines and also rolled up batting average
Of 800 for the day.
For the visitors. Wallace played a mag
nificent game at third base and Stencil
made several splendid catches In the field
O'Connor was the only Indian that could
solve Mercer's enigmatical delivery to any
advantage, he getting two hits out OF three
times at bat. Besides this he gamely re-
ceived one Of the pitchers swift shoots In
the ribs and got his base. Heidrick was
elected from the game for refusing to obey
the mandates of the umpire and Schreck-
ongost was sent to right to complete the
performance. O'Connor was the cause Of
Heidricks election, inasmuch as he. as
captain Of the team, refused to allow Held
rick to obey the umpire's orders. and
OConnor should have also been sent to the
bench.
Manager Burns and his team of Colts
from the Windy City will be the attraction
this afternoon. The Chicagos have been
playing great ball since their arrival in the
East. and the Senators will have their
hands full in defeating them. However. IL
the recent series in Chicago is criterion,
Irwin's men should get two of the three.
II Mcfarland is well enough. he will prob
ably pitch for the locals this afternoon.

Sailing for the Philippines I'm q
Five-Ton POet.
San Francisco, June 6.-Captain Freitsch
sailed from San Francisco yesterday in the
five-ton schooner Coke, his ostensible
destination being Manila. The general
opinion, however, is that if the navigator
really makes the attempt he will give his
body as food for fishes long before he
reaches the Philippines.
Captain Freitsch, who halls from Mil
waukee, made his first start Sunday, but
when he got outside Golden Gate, he found
the bar breaking badly and returned. Yes
terday the sea was like glass, with a gen.
tie breeze blowing, SO the captain started
again. He passed out through the Heads
and up to today had not returned. Sea-
faring men along the docks are unanimous
in the belief that the Coke will never reach
Manila, although il the weather continues
fair she may get to Honolulu. Captain
Freitch built the schooner himself and the
craft is anything but seaworthy.

In the past few years Washington has made
tremendous strides forward, but this Is as
nothing compared to the growth that is to
come.
Greatest Washington is still ahead. All this
points one great lesson to the wise man. Buy
all the real estate you can and hold on to it.
There is no quicker way TO make money
surer way TO become wealthy. kenilworth
is a part of Washington-governed by Wash
ington laws-patrolled- by Washington police
and intersected by Washington streets.
1t is as near to 7th and Pa. ave. in point OF
time as Mount Pleasant.
Ii is the last desirable piece Of ground in
the District yet to be had at reasonable
price. II is the safe sure spot in which
to buy real estate investment.
The Columbia Electric Railway is now
building TO the subdivision and will enhance
the value of kenilworth lots from 80 TO 100
per cent-thus giving immediate buyers
chance TO realize an almost instantaneous pro-
fit on their investment.
