IT is Secretary Roots desire that the
entire body of reinforcements for Gen
eral Otis's army may reach the Philip
pines for service in the month of Oc-
tober at the latest, and to that end he
has been quietly negotiating for ad-
ditiOnal transports. 1t is now intended
that all of the ten regiments will be
landed at Manila by the time the dry
season opens. A short and successful
campaign by this new army would, of
course, obviate the necessity for send
ing any additional volunteers to the
Philippines, and the plans under con-
sideraticn at the War Department are
said to be predicted on that idea, it
being the intention that whatever ad-
ditional troops may be recruited will
be held in reserve for possible con-
tingencies.

The Commissary Department is now
working busily to provide food and
subsistence for the new army of the
Philippines. The bulk of the material
must be purchased in this country and
shipped from San Francisco. When it
is realized that 200, 900 pounds of food
will be consumed every day by the
men in the Philippines, some idea can
be gained of the quantities which will
have to be provided. The commissary
Department is constantly purchasing
supplies and shipping them across the
water, not only by Government trans
ports, but by private steamship lines
and every available mode of transporta-
ton.
The first order for the suggested new
army of $4,000 men has been made up
by Commissary General Weston. This
is only preliminary and similar orders
will follow, so there will be no inter
mission in the supplies.
OhC VI uhO ihI SCSI lltllS Ou HIS llSI Is
1000, 600 pounds of -four. With this go
10000 pounds Of hard bread, 30, 900
pounds of crakers and 30, 900 pounds of
gingersnaps. The first order for coffee
amounts to 100000 pounds. Five
thousand cases of corned beef and 49,
900 pounds of Goldfish form two i'm
portant items.
The canned goods in the order in
clude everything which a first class
grocer usually sells. Tomatoes head
the list to the extent of $50 tons. In
the list also are $3.50 cases of salmon,
600 cases of fancy soups, and canned
peaches, pears an apples in large guam
titles. Other items are 81, 900 pounds
of chocolate, 1900 cases of condensed
milk, 1000 cases of condensed cream,
1900 cases of evaporated fruits and
5000 cases of oatmeal.

RECENTLY the leading Democrats of
the nation held conference at Sara
tOga, but without, it appears, reaching
any definite conclusion.
Il happen to know" said a Demo-
crat, ''that the private and real object
of the Saratoga conferences was to
give the men who wandered away off
or stood mute in 1896 a chance to re-
habilitate themselves with the party.
Some of them are talking anti-Bryan
chat for the newspapers, but they all
know that Bryan is going to he renom-
mated.
'These people, including German,
who supported Bryan before, are fixing
up a scheme on which they can come
back without making themselves a
laughing stock. They will be salts
fed if they can get the platform in
such shape that it will not actually
print the words of the 1896 platform.
A reaffirmatiOn of the principles of
four years ago, with some generalities,
along with planks about trusts, mill
tOrism and the conduct of the war
this would suit those people. 1 think
something like that will be the COM
promise agreed upon"

SEVERAL native Porto Ricans, resid-
ing in New York have united in let
ter, which was published in the New
York Sun, yesterday, respecting the
distribution of the relief charity in the
devastated island, that contains much
good advice, which, would be we'll for
us to consider and carry into action.
The ministration to the wants of the
famine threatened people, in the free
distribution of food, raiment, articles
for, household use, agricultural impel-
ments, material with which to erect
shelter for the homeless and the like,
then men urge, should be done with
the ultimate purpose of relieving only
the present needs, but that the greater
charity will come in devising means
for public work, making roads, repair
ing the damage done to public prop
erty and the like, which would give
employment to the people.

TIE main thing in the political meet
ings this, an off year, is scramble for
the leadership. The result of the de-
mOnstration at Bowers Beach last
Thursday was that the Kent County
Democracy are committed to Bryan
and the free coinage of silver for the
next national campaign. So far as the
leadership of that meeting went, it was
under the management of those who
deied the law in reference to counting
the vote at the last election, and took

Fancy pieces of Furniture are a

The choosing is as fine as ever
thanks to constant arrivals. But
we'vepassed the pinnacle of receipts,
and each day now is apt to see the
last of some particular lots.
AS to the desks-one-fourth of
the years selling of women's desks
is done in the four weeks before
ChriStmas-at least that is our ex-
Perience, and gathering facts from
the factory folks, we find that the
chief desk selling of the country is
done here.
By that time, to do our best,
desks will need to fetch well on to
half as much again as we mark them
today-which means a rise from
even the present full prices. We do
not assume to keep desks bought
now for Christmas delivery, but you
can-and make substantial saving.

elusive designs.
Elegant color-blends give tone to
these fine weaveS.
Opening Daysl With first choice
of the loom productions, it is safe to
say that the exclusive designs we
show are the triumphs of designers
and weavers.
Every considerable carpet seller is
given control of certain patterns. 1t
is simply the unwritten law of trade
that gives the store with greatest out
let the first selection. That is worth
much to the furnisher of artistic
taste-too much to miss. Carpet
grades count for considerable--but
a high grade may be in an old
fashioned style, and well-nigh worth
less in many schemes of furnishing.
This necessarily large buying
brings some very decisive economies
for instance
Twenty-Five entirely new designs
of ADMINISTER CARPET, of the
regular and fixed SIPS quality, are
offered at ONE DOLLAR a yard.
The colorings and designs are varied
enough to give proper carpet for
any room in the house.
At the end of a seasons produc-
ton the weaver of our best MO-
QUETTE CARPETS puts the yarns
he has left into the looms and lets
color run rot. The result is min
gled carpet of dollar goodness. The
price is soc. It is for halls and
stairs, chieay; though bordered har-
monicus.y quite pretty room effects
are obtsined. The borders must be
chosen from the regular lines.
More of the Persian Wilton Rugs
have come 26x54 inches; the
price 81; the effects Oriental. They
are made of jute, which lends itself
to strong color blends.

Il Smyrna folks, is with US, and

Much space is allotted in this book to the ed
ucational establishments founded in the sixth
century :. ID. by the successors OF st. Patrick
and the early Christian missionaries II Is hard
to say what WAS the curriculum OF the old Irish
colleges, and to what extent they were patron
lied by laymen. 1t seems certain that, almost
from the very first, they must have taught the
heather classics and the Irish language side
by side with the Scriptures and theology.
There Is no other way Of accounting for the
admirable scholarship OF the men they turned
out and for their skill in Latin. and often. also.
In Irish poetry. 1t is sufficient to glance
at the writings Of Columbanus. who was
born in A. ID. DAB, and educated at Ban
gor, on Belfast Loch to recognize his mar
veIIous sunHriority over Gregory OF Tours and
the Gallo Romans Of his time. He lived In
close converse with the classical authors as
later on, did the learned men Of the sixteenth
century. OF course he was not their equal. but
he was sort OF precursor. All the studies OF
the time seem to have been taught at tho best
Irish colleges through the medium Of the Irish
language: not merely theology. but arith-
metic rhetoric, poetry. haRioRraphy. natural
science as 1t was then understood, grammar.
