According TO the logic of Secretary Long.
the glory Of the Santiago battle belongs TO
Admiral Sampson because he was the di-
rector Of the expedition and the fact that
he was seven miles away does not make
any difference whatsoever. Why not go
back little further, and say that the
glory really belongs to the secretary him
self and to Theodore Roosevelt? They
were responsible for Capt. SIMPSONS be-
ing in command. They created Sampson
and Sampson created the situation. there

Senator Hanna declines to take any part

cial positions should not be regarded as
political" The political rollers who
are hustling for the place for themselves
or their friends probably never looked for
a rebuke from that quarter. Has inius-
tice been done Senator Hanna all along

sibly that is just the senator's way of
getting out of being bothered.

A Connecticut inventor has gone to
England to interest foreign capitalists in
an apparatus. or a method, of burning
coal so as to realize 50 per cent of the
caloric energy instead of 10 10 Is per
cent. the amount which is obtained from
coal by the present methods of burning it.
If this inventor has succeeded in finding a
way to make a pound of coal do six or
seven times the work that a pound now
does, he has laid the foundation for a
fabulous fortune for himself and done the
world service.

It was this governments generosity,
says Senator Frye. which prompted the
giving of a big cash bonus to Spain, to-
gether with other very valuable consider
atoms. Has the governments generosity
in this matter extended TO the American
people? Is it either generous or just to
call upon them not only TO pay the mill
lions already promised, but to put them
selves in position which may cost them
thousands of lives and great many more
millions of dollars?

A resolution in the Alabama Legislature
proposes that wherever the word ''col-
ored" appears, or may appear referring
to persons of the black race, in legal pa
pers in that state it shall be stricken out
and the word NEGRO" substituted, and
that that word shall be spelled with a
capital n. The resolution sets forth thai,
"colored" is not a generic word, while
negro" is. 1t seems that the introducer
Of the resolution might have gone little
further in this matter Of regulating race
nomenclature by legislation, and provided
that the South of Europe word negro"
be eliminated entirely and that the good
English word "black" be used instead
Negro" in Spanish land in French and
Portuguese means black" and "blan-
co" means white. If the Alabama resoiu-
ton should pin the black man down to
negro" it might do well to provide also
that the white man shall be ''blanco."

THE VALUE OF A nov.

To most parents the idea of computing
in dollars and cents the value of child
is repugnant; still. ii sometimes becomes
necessary to do that very thing. II is.
however, apparently a difficult matter to
arrive al a satisfactory basis upon which
to compute the value of children. In some
communities the idea of worth differs
from that in other communities. This has
recently been seen in two suits for dam
ages, one in an Illinois court and the other
in an Indiana court. In the former a
small boy had been killed by a railway
train, and the father had sued the corpor-
alton alleging several thousand dollars of
pecuniary damage. The attorney for the
corporation argued that so far
from the father having suffered
damages in actual dollars and
cent, he had been benefited, since
it was fact that the child was incapable
of earning its own living and was an ex-
pense of one or two hundred dollars
year. This argument so impressed the
jury that a verdict for the railroad was
returned
In the Indiana case, however, the jury
took deeper insight into the matter.
There were evidently some close
calculating business men on the
jury. An eight-year old boy had
been killed through some neglect
or fault on the part of the corporation
of the city of Elwood. The jurors ascer-
tained what was the condition of the boys
health at the time he was killed. Then
they took an insurance mortality table and
calculated the percentage of probabilities
that he would reach the age of q years,
at which time he would become his own
master. Until that time his father would
be entitled to his services. A calculation
was then made of the relative earning
power OF the child, and the expense of
keeping him. for each year from the eighth
70 the twenty-first year of his age 1t was
| calculated that at about the age of twelve
he would become self-supporting, and
| thereafter might be expected 10 earn more
| than his keep. After exhaustive figuring
the jury obtained as result taking into
consideration all normal conditions. that
the father had suffered an actual money
loss of $3.50 by the death of his child, and a
verdict for that amount was rendered.

LUZ0N'S mission Field
Meth0dists to Undertake the Work
in Manila.
bishop Thoburn Secures an Appro-
printion for the Dissemination of
the Creed I'm the PhiIfppines-Othcr
Religious Work In the Far East.
The Conditions i'm South Africa.

The majority of the various bishops and
missionaries who were here to attend the
meeting of the Methodist Episcopal Mis-
sionary Committee, left for their homes
| today.
Rev. DR.. Thoburn, bishop of India, who
has been doing missionary work in for
| eign lands for over quarter Of a century
| departed for India, where he will resume
his work. 1t was mainly through Bishop
Thoburn's efforts that the committee was
first made aware of the distressing condi
| tions now prevailing In India. Bishop
Thoburn also advocated the admission of
the Philippine Islands to the Malayan
conference, and IL was also through his
efforts that a fast line of steamers was es-
| tablished between Singapore, China, and
Manila.
During his residence in the Far East he
has made frequent visits to Manila, and
various points in the Philippine Islands,
and has found there a vast field for mis-
sionary work. The Methodists have not as
yet extended their mission fields to include
the new possessions of the United States,
but through Bishop Thoburn's representa-
tions the committee has appropriated a
sufficient sum to found several missions in
the islands.
Upon arriving in India 1t is said that his
first important work will be toward es-
tablishing the Manila mission and distrib-
uting the money in the various locations
in his jurisdiction.
The South African mission is under
Bishop Joseph E. Hartzel. 1t is said that
many wealthy Beers have contributed to
the support Of this mission. 1t is the in
tention OF the Methodists to establish an
Industrial school in the heart of the Kafir
district Bishop Hartzel will have COM
plete charge Of this work. and when COM
pleted every important trade will be taught
in 1t.
Bishop McCabe, who has recently re-
turned from South Africa, characterizes
the Beers as grand and noble race. He
says they are religious to extremes. and
he greatly deplores the present war with
England.
He said that the many stories Of insin-
cerity which have been attributed to them
are not true. On the contrary, the Beers
are a very conscientious people. Owing to
the war the missionary work in South AZ
rica is said to have been interrupted, but
the expressions of the different missiona-
ries who are familiar with that country in
dicate that they believe the war will be of
short duration.

NEW OFFICERS ELECTED.
Annual Meeting of the HomeOpath
Hospital Association.

Annual Meeting of the Homeopathic
Hospital Association.
The annual meeting of the National
Homeopathic Hospital Association was held
at the Ebbitt House last night. The room
was filled with friends and officers OF the
hospital and the association when the
president announced that the time had
come for the election Of officers to serve
during the ensuing year.
John ]. Edison was proposed for presi-
dent and unanimously elected, as were the
following subordinate officers: First Vice
President. E. S. Hutchison; Second Vice
President, Mrs. A. r. Aiffee, and Secretary
s. 8. Shedd. President Edison was escorted
To the chair and made a short address,
thanking the members for the honor con-
ferred upon him. and calling on them for
their support during the time that he
would occupy the position to which they
he'd elected him. He then called for the
various reports, beginning with that of
the board of trustees. This statement
showed the hospital to be in excellent con-
dition and the prospects for the erection
OF a new building were good. 1t had been
proposed to make arrangements for the
building Of a modern hospital building as
soon as possible.
Following the reading of the report of
the trustees came the statements of the
various auxiliaries to the hospital that
have worked for the benefit of the organi-
zation since their formation.

A recent number of Commerce" the
English publication, deyotes several Of its
pages to an exhaustive and interesting il

that supply the world with Hunyadi Janos
water. A dozen or more handsome large
half-tone pictures show many views Of
Buda Pesth itself, its famous palaces, gov

of the well-known and now wealthy family
are also given.
The text of the article tells the roman
tic story of the original Hunyadi, the ia

of Hungary in the fifteenth century. The
well-klown mineral water was named after
this Hungarion hero when it was discoy-
cred less than forty years ago Andreas
SaXlehner. who purchased the springs from
the discoverer, has made the name of the
water a much more familiar one TO ordinary
readers than the original owner of the
name was. In addition to this Interesting
sketch of the first Hunyadi and its name

a great many opinions from famous Eu-

the water, its composition, unvarying

Lancet and the French Academy of
Medicine are both quoted.

history, its fine illustrations, its sprightly
telling. is one of the notable contributions
