1t is unfortunate that the investig afion
into the charges made by DR.. Bowers In
regard to the management Of the Eye and
Ear Infirmary was not conducted In Q
way to inspire public confidence In the
result. We doubt II there is an intelli.
gent man in this community whose pre-
conceived notions in regard to the truth
Or falsity of those charges have
been affected In the least by the finding
Of the trustees. Those who believed them
believe them now no less and those who
lisbelieved' them disbslieve them M more.
This might all have been different. The
close relations which the trustees, who
were the jury in the case, bore to the ex.
ecutive surgeon, who was the defendent,
rendered 1t dificult we know. to divest
the public of suspicion that their investi.
cation might be tinged with Partially,
but the most If not all of 1t, we think, could
have been removed IL the trustees had taken
the right course. If they had rsfrsined
carefully while the case was pending and
before II was heard from expressing anJ
opinion In respect to It and from discuss
ing it with the friends OF either side,
and then when the hearing was begun
had manifested an appearance At least
Of desire to GET at the truth, no matter
whom 1t hurt or helped, the public might
have felt that their decision was q judicial
one, founded upon an impartial investi
CATION, with open mind, and would have
put confidence In 10 acccrdingly.

DIR. e. Benjamin Andrews Makes n
Gloomy Prediction.
CHICAGO, December 1S.-'Tf Great
Britain is ultimately successful in South
Africa the powers of the world viii unite
to resist successfully her advance. A coal
ition will be formed against British DOM
ination and when this war of the nations
comes, which side win the United States
take? We must take one side or the other.
That will be a sad day for our nation Yet
l say, we never have got into a scrape yet
We did not get out of. And as a prophetic
American. | tell you we never shall"
The foregoing statement was made by
DR.. F. Benjamin Andrews. former presi-
lent of the Brown University. and now
superintendent of the Chicago public
schools. in his address on The war in
South Africa" at the Bethel African Meth
odist Episcopal church, last evening. The
occasion was the mems Sunday forum
meeting, and DR.. Andrews startled his
\ hearers by the declaration that inter-
national war inevitably would follow the
moment kruger's followers surrendered.
England necessarily would corne in conflict
with other powers in carrying out its plans
of colonization.
He declared that clashes would follow
the attempt to build the Cape to Cairo
railroad. and hat the contemplated effort
of Great BRITAIN to build a railroad from
the Suez canal to Bombay, which would
give that nation a direct means OF throw
ing munitions of war into the lands about
the headwaters of the Euphrates, would
be resisted.
The address Of DR.. Andrews was heard
by an audience that packed the chapel.
Several times he referred to the wrong
of the African people, both in the United
States and in Africa, and his words
brough out great cheering.

HOW TO TRIM
THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

In a house where there are children
the Christmas tree is indispensable. 1t
matters not how small the tree may be
if it is p~rettily decorated. 1t is most
convenient to have the tree placed at
once in a holder, but the price of this
may be saved by mounting the tree in
a deep box we'll packed with earth.
The tree must be well braced, and the
box must be as nearly square as pos
sible. The box should be painted with
green enamel.
The decoration of a tree begins at
the top. Custom has made it almost
imperative that a figure of Santa Claus
occupy this the most conspicuous posi-
ton. The figures sold in the shops for
this purpose are made of either card
board or plaster and cost from IS to
rs cents.
Strings of silver and gilt balls, and
balls of raw cotton, make pretty and
effective decorations. Shreds of raw
cotton may also be sprinkled over the
tree. This does very nicely to repre-
sent snow. Quantity rather than
quality makes a tree beautiful. A
dozen or more dolls, made of bright
colored tissue paper, should be added
il there are any little girls in the
house. Candy canes and sugar ami
mails of every conceivable kind are al
ways appreciated by the youngsters.
Small presents may be placed on the
tree and larger ones around its
base. The tree must, of course, be set,
before decorating, in the room in
which it is to remain, unless it is a
very small tree, in which case it mag
be decorated in a room to which the
children seldom go. On Christmas
morning it may be carried TO the nur-
sery while the little ones are enjoying
their breakfast or exhibiting their toys
in some other part of the house.

Little Tots Cloak of Silk trimmed
with Fur and Lace.

The sleeves were full and finished at
the wrists with a curved cuff OF vel
vet trimmed with an edging OF lace.
The cuff can be turned back or allow
ed to fall over the hand, the former
mode being more practical since it in
no way discomforts a child.
An attractive little accompaniment
to this cloak was a bonnet of riding
hood red silk. The crown was very
full in it's effect and was finished with
a shaped ruf1e of bright red silk with
a narrow cord of white silk following
the edges.
A friendly gust of wind lifted the
skirt of the coat and revealed a lining
of thick baby flannel which made the
little garment very comfortable in
deed. HELEN GREY-PAGE.

An amended scale OF wages has been
decided upon by the cloth a v OF
this city. and will be presented to the

1000 mill hands will be affected If this
action is taken.
