with French firm, who stole his inven-
ton. He asked French lawyer TO de-
fend him. but the lawyer informed him
that no French judge could be. found

A GREAT MANS SMILE.

A report comes from Princeton, N l J., that MT Cleveland is smiling broad
 ly over the news from Manila. He could not repress an exhibition of the satisfaction he felt at the clash be- | tween the Americans and the Filipinos His first and only thought was Of a
 prediction he had made that something
 of that kind was likely to occur. Ad- vised thus that his prediction had been
 fulfilled, the spirit Of exultation took
 possession of him and he shook hands
 warmly with himself. He asked no
 questions about the number of the
 slain, CT how the sacrifice stood dis
 tributed between the contending forces.
 He probably did not care. All dead
 soldiers look alike to MT. Cleveland
 He simply smiled, and turned away. Happy man! Unerring prophet!
 But MT. Cleveland had another right to smile He had not Cnly prophesied
 but had helped to bring about the full
 1llment of his prophecy. He had add ed his weight-the weight of his voice ito the impeachment of the country's 1I4ISoI4 4Iy I1S 44GeO a11C1pGu CO HULL up the peace treaty while Aguinaldo strengthened the Filipino position around Manila. He had helped to tie the hands of Dewey and Otis and keep them for five weeks inactive in the presence of a busy and treacherous foe. And here was his reward. Naturally, he smiled It accorded with the man and his purposes.
 Turning from the pleasing intelli- gcnce of the battle, Mir Cleveland sub m:tted himself to the hands of an artist now in his house for the purpose of painting his portrait. The canvas has been ordered by Colonel Lamont, and presumably will be hung on the wall of the colonePs study. But is the pub lie not entitled to q sight Of the well known face lighted up by pleasure So unusual? The artist will have caught the prophet in the hour of triumph. He will have transferred to canvas the proud expression of 'I told you so. It would be unreasonable to expect Colonel Lamont to consent to tour for the picture. But it ought to be copied and put upon the blograph or -ome other stout reflector. The people ought to be allowed to see the smiling effect produced on a man whom they have twice called to the presidency by the intelligence that American soldiers carrying the stars and stripes have been killed in battle with oriental say ages.

 At one time before the civil war Squire Masters was threatened with a lawsuit. He went to Springfield, where Lincoln was located, and had q talk with him about the case Lincoln told him that if he could not settle the case he would undertake the de fense. but he urged his friend to make an amicahle adjustment,
 'What'll you charge, Abe, to go into court for me?" said Mir Masters.
 Well, 9 was LincoJn's reply, it will cost ycu $10; but I won't charge you anything if you can settle it between yourselves"

FOR A RAINY DAY
His Wife's Savings Were the Means
 Of His Weatharing a Gale.

T don't suppose you have forgotten the panic of '93," said Dodson. T cer- tainly have not, for I had that unlucky year impressed upon me in a way that 1 will not soon forget.
 You remember my money disap- peared when the crash came? Banks that were fortunate enough to escape going down in the general crash hoard ed their money and refused to loan a cent, even upon the best secruity.
 q have always made it a rule never to talk business with my wife, and she, FOOT woman, never knew at the time the many anxious days that I had, for I tried to conceal my hopeless c0ndi- tion.
 At last it came to point where I was without even a hope, and I stag geTed home with banlErUCltcy staring me in the face. I had made the fight and lost, and then, seeing all the say ings of 3 lifetime swept away, I gave up like a man doomed to die, and knowing that no fate could ward off the blow.

 For several minutes she said not word, and I began to fear tk2t the

AS TO AGUINALDO.

There is but one way to deal with such Q double-dyed traitor. He is false to lis own cause; false to the Spanish; false to the Americans, and until he shall be entirely deposed and the possibility of his future power de- stroyed, there can be no tranquility in l,le Philippine islands. After the ut most forbearance he has forced war upon us, and he should ba pursued and hunted to the end of the Philippines and no treaty should ever be made with him, for the reason that he is incapable Of fulfilling any obligation he assumes. He is 2. treacherous, reckless, thieving murdercus disturber, and the objective point of the army and navy in the Philippines must be his speedy de scruction We are tCuLG by the sol emn treaty to release the Spanish prisoners; we are bound by every ob- ligation, legal and moral, to maintain order and protect person and property in the Philippine islands, and whether it shall require 20, GOO CT 5000 soldiers to do it, it must be done, and dlcne promptly and oroughly.-Philadel- phia Times.

GENERAL WOODS MOTHER.
A Chat With Her About the Boyhood
 of SantiagO's Governor.

A visit to the widowed mother Of General Leonard Wood brought cut some very interesting facts about the boyhood and anecdotes of the present governor of Santiago.
 That good soldier, so much in the public eye Of late, is the eldest sen Of the late Dr. c. J. Wood and Caroline E. Wood (nee Hager) of Weston, Mass. He was raised in Wenaumet vill8ga, town of Bourne, Cape Cod, and his fathers house-a square, semi colonial structure of about the style of 1872, still stands on it's broad backed hll! overlooking the waters of Buzzard' $ bay and it's numerous islands and rug ged headlands, from the head of the bay, where Joe Jefferson's 3gle's Nest" shows with it's Dutch windmill. through the pines to Gray Gables. south to Woods Hole and the brcader waters of Martha's Vineyard Sound.
 ''Yes,' Mrs. Wood said in response ito the reporters congratulations on the place her son had won in the g5od will of the American people. Leonard is my boy, and I am very proud ot him. The boy never gave me any trouble, and the man is great com fort to me. No. can't say there was anything remarkable about his boy hood. He always was thoughtful boy and always busy about something; great reader of all sorts - of books novels included, and never sick

THE PRESIDENT.

The day should, not pass without the expression of a fitting tribute to Will liam Mckinley. All American citizens must applaud the unflinching faithful ness With which he has looked to their interests in the east No denurciation of the policy of expansion, or oDposi~ tion to the treaty with Spain, has checked the president in PGoviding endorsements to protect our forces in the Philippines and the flag they have raised there. He has guarded the United States against military defeat and political humiliation. While war has kept back the moment for settling the Philippines future, if the president has had a doubt as to the wisdom Of making them our own, he has given his country the benefit of it, like states man and a patriot. What the presi- dents conclusions are upon this sub ject we do not know, but from our ob- servaticn of his conduct of his office, we feel justified in making a predic- tion: The United States forces will be withdrawn from the Philippines when congress So orders; and not be- fcre.-New York Sun.

HOW WERE THEY ARMED?

How did the Filipinos procure Q large supply of rifles, field pieces, quick firing guns and ammunition during the past month? General Otis cables the fact to the war department, and indi- cGtes the importance he attaches to the period during which these arms were received. The insurgents have been armed either by the Spaniards or by the Germans. If the Spaniards have been selling or giving their arms to the rebels in other places, as it was charged they did at Iloil1. in order to rreverls General Miller landing, it would be no surprise. Germany's per s;stent adherence to her determination to injure US in every possible manner in the Philippines will cause many to believe the arms came from her. Gen eral Ctis says the rifles were Mausers. Germany is the only country in Europe that makes Mausers, except Spain Jersey City Journal

TWO UNREPRESEN SEN
 ATORS.

When the vote on the peace treaty Was taken yesterday Senator Stephen M. White of California was paired against ratification. By a curious CO., incidence, Maine and California, on the two edges Of the continent fur nished examples of Q cynical defiance by senators of the wishes of their con- stituents. The people of each state were enthusiastically for expansion, and the legislature cf each had urged the ratification of the treaty, but that counted fc- II.hing with Eugene Hale ard Stephen M. White. The case of Senator White was rather more fla grant than that Of Senator Hale, for at the moment when the vote was cast some Californian boys were lying dead in the sWamps about Manila, killed by the senatorial obstruction in which MT. White had been one of the most active leaders.-New York Journal.

AGUINALDO'S POSITION.

It is pathetic to read of the chief of the Ygorotes, the Filipino contingent
 that stcod up with bows and arrows against our quick-fring guns, lying ill a hospital suffering from a shattered thigh and doubtless specuIating upon what struck him. But he has an acute Iy practical view of the treachery thai placed him and his followers in the front of the battle to be moved down like standing grain. He threatens vengeance. and, of course his tribe will no longer support Aguinaldo. Our task will be made easier by the dissen- sions resulting from the defeats of the insuTgent chief. He has lost pres tige among @ motley crowd of adher- eIts that had scarcely any other bond of union than their leaders success. He cannot maintain for long an organiza- tiCn sufficient to justify the pcetense of a loyal army, much less that of na~ tive republic. His following is now more than a collection of units, with no tsgrating force to make them fight together in his support
