ARTHUR ROPES, General Editor
In the Philippines.

Out of the confusion OF "wllo
tongues" the truth seems to emerge
that General Otis will need about
10000 troops to hold the Philippines,
that with the regulars now on the way
to supply the places of the volunteers
whose enlistment period has expired
and who will be mustered out-the pit
iful copperhead hiss that they are des-
politically kept in the service against
their will, to the contrary notwithstand-
ing-he will have some $4,000, and
that the remaining 5000 could be sup
piled from garrisons at home, and in
Porto Rico and Cuba.
Washington reports are to the effect
that President Mckinley instructed
General Otis to tell the representatives.
of Aguinaldo, when they left his lines
after their recent stay Of several days
in Manila, that neither they nor any
others sent by the Filipinos would be
again admitted to the lines, unless
they came authorized to make an un-
conditional surrender. This means
business, and, in order to put General
Otis in better condition to force COM
pliance with his terms, the regular
troops will be hurried to him as rap.
idly as possible. The President is
averse to calling ont more volunteers,
but if the necessity arises he will meet
it,
Among the Presidents recent callers
was Hon. John Barrett, who was APP
pointed minister to Siam by Mr.. Cleve-
land, and who has recently returned
from Manila, where he spent ten
months studying the situation. Mr..
Barrett said: 81 was not originally in
favor of the permanent retention of
the islands, but the more l studied the
question of our standing politically and
commercially in the Pacific, the more
convinced l became that our control
there was essential to our prominence
and prosperity in the far East. We
are today one of the great powers of
the Pacific. If we should withdraw
control over the Philippines, we should
abdicate position that stands second
to none, and come after Great Britain,
Russia, Germany and Japan. The
waists interests of our Pacific coast for
bids this. The East, and especially
New England, should turn in and CO.
operate in this move"
OF the present situation, Mr.. Barrett
said: "Next to the rainy season, the
worst thing our troops have to contend
against in the Philippines is the news
of the anti-imperialist agitation in this
country, which is being seduously gath
cred and finds its way to the insur-
gents. They think this movement
means a great deal, and that if they
keep on long enough the agitation in
America will come to their rescue"
Upon subject in which practically
everybody in the United States is deep
ly interested, Mr.. Barrett said: GAN
this talk about Admiral Dewey's health
is misleading. l saw a great deal of
him, and spent day with him just be-
fore came away. He is not i'll in the
sense that he needs anything more
than rest and quiet. 1t is not gener-
ally known that he never left Manila
Bay from the time he entered it until
his final departure few days ago. In
all that time, the other officers and his
aids made many trips to Hong Kong
and other points for rest and recrea-
tion.'

A WASHINGTON correspondent makes
the statement that "the Dewey home
fund is not growing as fast as was hop
ed from he indications when the
movement was first started, but it is
growing steadily. Contributions have
been made by President McKinley,
Vice President Hobart, and mauy other
prominent men. The fund has just
passed the $4,000 mark"

President Tucker paid handsome
compliment to journalism in his bacca-
laurate sermon at Dartmouth, and
accidentally took occasion to protest
against the idea that journalism con-
sists merely in purveying the news:
81 do not accept the idealized state
ment of Lord Roseberry, who would
eliminate the editorial page from the
newspaper. When the journalist has
the truth of the fact in his possession
and has given it to us, his professional
work has just begun. He is to interpret
and apply the current fact. He is to
use it according to his insight for the
development of public sentiment. The
professional value of journalism lies in
opinions, as well as in facts. A news
paper must have a policy if it would
satisy the professional demands upon
journalism. The journal of opinions,
fair, consistent, urgent opinions-is
still the journal of influence. Notwith-
standing Lord Roseberry's sneer at the
leading article the London Journal
which has had more influence than all
other foreign journals in forming sent
iment in the United States on foreign
issues, is journal without scrap Of
news. THE London Spectator.

Dickens and the Children.

Writing in The Century on Charles
Dickens interest in the cause of educa
ton, Mr.. James L. Hughes says:
He was the first great English stu
dent Of Froebel He deals with 10 diff
ferent schools in his books. He gives
more attention to the training of child
hood than any other novelist or any
other educator except Froebel He was
one of the first Englishmen to demand
national control of education, even in
private schools, and the thorough train
ing of all teachers. He exposed IA types
of coercion and did more than any one
else to lead Christian men and women
to treat children humanely. Every book
he wrote except two is rich in educa-
tional thought. He took the most ad-
vanced position on every phase of mod
ern educational thought except manual
training. When he is thoroughly un-
derstood, he will be recognized as the
Froebel of England.

postoffice at Marking was suddenly
and summarily arrested the other day
by one of the high mandarins in that
city and thrown into the district magis-

cangued. Upon inquiry by the postal
authorities as to the reason Of such
arbitrary conduct it appeared that this
postman had been guilty of having de-
ivered to his accuser's yamen in the
course of his rounds an anonymous let
ter which contained whole pages of cut

the letter of avarice, extortion, etc. The
irate mandarin made the unlucky post
man responsible for the obnoxious let

St. DistnG,s Day.

The 7th of January, which follows
Twelfth day, was in old times jokingly
called st. Distaff's day because the
spinning was supposed to be resumed,
says the Baltimore Sun.
The plowmen, who were not SO will
ing to resume their occupations as the
women were theirs, used to set the fax
on fire, in consequence of which the
women would throw pals of water up
on them.
In early days ladies of high degree,
as well as farmers wives and daugh-
ters, were accustomed to handle the dis
taft and spindle, and the latter were
the emblems of womanhood. The fol-
lowing little stanza is appropriate to
the season:
Partly work and partly play
You must work on st. Distaff's day.
From the plow soon free your team,
Then come home and fother them.
If the maids a-spinning go,
Burn the fax and fire the tow.
Bring in pals Of water then;
Let the maids bewash the men;
Give st. Distaf all the right.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND PRIZE
FIGHTING.


The fact that the Legislature of Colo
RADIO passed bill permitting prize
fights on the payment of $1,000 license,
has been used as text to prove that
woman suffrage did not prevent this
evil. There were only three woman
members of this Legislature, and all of
them voted against the bill. Women
constitute minority in the State, but
the powerful Woman's Civic Fedora
tion in Denver and the Woman's Club
of 1200 members have passed resolutions
of protest against this new law. They
also have petitioned the Governor to
include its repeal in the new list of
subjects to be considered if a special
session of the Legislature is called.

CENTURY PLANTS GLORY
BL COMING FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN SEVENTY YEARS.
Beautiful and Unique Spectacle at
Mrs. Browns Villa at
RadnOr.

A century plant in full bloom. That
was the rare sight that greeted the eye
of an Inquirer reporter who visited
Mrs. Martha Browns villa at Radnor
yesterday. For almost seventy years
this dignifed plant has stood like an
untiring sentinel on the Brown terraces.
Its green color and almost imperceptible
growth were the only signs the un-
fruitful plant gave of life. There was
nothing remarkable about it, save its
size. 1t was about six feet high, and
measured from tip to tip of it's out
stretched leaves sixteen feet.
1t was about the first of last April
that Gardener George Stuckey, who
has known the plant for twenty-seven
years, observed tiny stem sprouting
in the centre of the leaves. He watch
ed it. With wonderful rapidity the
stalk grew. When it had attained a
hight of twenty-five feet it stopped.
Meanwhile the stem sent out slender,
smooth, upturned branches, all of
which, curious enough, were near the
top. When June came the branches in
their turn put forth hand-shaped
growth. Palm upward they extended,
with multitude of fingers-close to
l5O-pointing to the sky.
A few weeks later the warm sun
awoke the buds. They opened, and
from each finger tip shot forth six
toothpick like shoots, on the points ol
which nature deity balanced slim
| golden flower, in form much like a wee
overturned canoe, but an inch long.
Every zephyr that blew caused them to
sway gracefully to and fro. They
remind one not a little of the passion
flower. From short distance the cen
tury plants blossom appears like a
huge fiattened chrysanthemum. They
run from six to ten inches in diameter
There are twenty-five branches on the
stalk, and one flower on each branch,
the whole bearing about 1000 of the
dOweret fingers, and IL, 900 of the bal
ancing canoe-like shoots. The stalk
that carries these blossoms is twenty
five feet high and measures fourteen
inches around.
This strange plant is giving up its
life to its blossms. Every petal thai
"opens saps so much of its existence
When they have blossomed for abou
two weeks they will die and the whole
plant will expire with it's fruit. The
horny shrub can at least say to itsel
'swell done," for it closes life in blazt
lof glory.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

HER PORTRAIT.

The night was warm, and the porch was wide.
And the soft wind waited the music's tune,
And youth and maid sat side by side
Meath the w;tching light of the summer
moon.
love.
She's as fair as the daybreak and pure as
gold,
With voice as soft a cooling dove,
And a mouth like bud with one leaf un
rolled.
The CLEAN of her eyes makes the starlight pale
And she's witty and clever, well read and
bred"
The maid's cheeks flushed at this glowing tale,
And-"I love you, too," she said.

Girls in France have discovered
something new. In order to get their
hair to remain curly or waved for
some time, before putting it into pins
at night they dampen the hair with a
little lemon juice and sugar mixed.
The effect is quite magical, and the
hair lasts crimped for days.
