A RICH MANS PRIVATE zoo.

The second largest zoo in Philadel- phia is an entirely private enterprise, and it bids fair shortly to outrank the city's show in Fairmount park.
 This zoo is the property of Thomas Cadeza of Germantown, and occupies a tract of about thirty acres, a mile and a half south of Walnut Lane sta ton, in which are quartered deer, elk, buffalo, game chickens, many birds of foreign climes, h0ming pigeons, Per sian pheasants, all kinds of dogs and a big black bear. A giraffe is fow on it's way, and it is said that the animal dealers of Germany and England have been given carte blanche for good spec imens of every kind of animal.
 At the south end of the grounds are the dog enclosures. MT. Cardeza has made a speciality of Great Danes, and he now has in his kennels some twenty of these beasts. He is said to have the finest collection of Great Danes in ths world.
 Mir. Cardeza is the grandson of the late John Drake, the richest citizen Germantown had. He is about 25 years of age and passionately devoted to al outdoor sports and to the study of zo- ology.-New York Mail and Express.

AGUINALDo's ENGINEER.
An Irishman Who Has Made Filipino
 Trenches With Great Skill.

A startling fact is substantiated by documentary evidence in the possession of the writer, which in way settles the much discussed question of the eff ciency Of Aguinaldo's engineering force. The magnificent trenches which the rebels have successfully erected and have been as repeatedly driven from by the Americans were marvel to all men who could appreciate the difficult feat of civil engineering.
 The work was certainly directed by man of broad education and much technical knowledge. Who did 1t? Many conjectures were indulged in by the Americans. Japanese, who received their education in the splendid schools of America and France were accredited with the work. Again to the Germans was attributed these masterly chains of defences. Some even went so far as to state that Englishmen and Amer jeans directed these affairs for the in surgents. 4 letter from Ireland re- gently received by an officer of one of the regiments now in Philippine ser vice dispels these illusions.
 The epistle states that one Jeremiah Moriarity, an Irish gentleman and sol dier of fortune, is now in the employ of Aguinaldo as chief of the corps of engineers. Moriarity is a veritable Cheridier Burke. He has served in the French, English and German armies previous to his afiliation to the cause of Asuinaldo. He affiliated with the rebels through no sympathy for their cause, but for the large sum paid over to him. He is highly educated, a brave man, and an accomplished linguist. He will perhaps never be captured. As a certain Irishman puts it, who knows of his manner, He is that slippery that if one man had hold of his head and another grip on his feet, he'd wriggle through a knot hole in the high board fence. e.'-Manila Tribune.

and griefs. But back of it all is the knowledge that if the fight in Africa is lost, there will be other fights to lose in quick succession forthwith, and it will be but a question of time, and a short time at that, before the splendid empire, the work of centuries and Of thousands of lives and countless mil lions of pounds, will have melted into history.
 This is no eXaggeration of the state of case. If England cannot enforce her proposition to the Boers and their neighborhood allies she can hardly hope to hold her own against the an- tagonistic influences of Europe which are ready to beset her, with greatly superior numbers. Conditions have materially changed since she failed in her effort to subdue the American col onists and still held her prestige and power. There was then TO such Rus sia as stands today with untold armies within striking distance of the Indian frontier. World politics have assumed new relationships, while the means of transmitting news and instructions have wonderfully advanced. The year 1899 is far cry from 17S1.

DON'T TALK ABOUT IT.

Dr. Kerr Boyce Tupper wishes to make women's gowns higher in the neck. MT. Burk-Brown, sculptor, tells Sorosis that women wear ugly clothes that conceal them too much, and he pleaded with his audience to have the courage of their contours.
 There are various sorts of useless talk, but talk about the dress of women Is pretty nearly the most foolish. A woman can wear almost anything and make it more or less higher or shorter at one end or the other. as the current convention permits, and no harm is done until it is talked about. Once talked about, almost any dress can be given unpleasant suggestion.
 The prophets have all had their shy at this, from Isaiah. the son of Amos, on to Tupper, and women's gowns have rustled on without the slightest atten- ton to the prophetic protest. The req son is simple. No woman's dress is in dividual. It is, instead, compound composed of convention, custom, cos tune and habit, modified by the indi- vidual appeal. Some women, of course, are simply covered, just as some men really do not wear clothes, in any fit sense of the term, but are like bundle in it's wrappings. But every woman who Is costumed, who in the proper sense of the word is gowned and dress ed, wears what she does as the result of a personal choice superadded to a social convention as to the display she shall make, be it much or little.
 This social convention is automatic, spontaneous and feminine. It is in- stinctively understood by women. Men are dull about it. When they try to talk about it-with all due respect to Dr. Kerr BOyce Tupper-they are in grave danger of doing more harm than good by making indecent by comment what before was decent by convention.
 If society and the social relations of women are kept pure the gowns will be all right If this is not done. any and all exposure, even of the faces of wo- men, will become wrong and we would go back to the swathed figures of the east. It is not gowns which corrupt society. but society which renders gowns cOrrupting or not, as the case may be-Philadelphia Times.

 sustained the Filipino instruction by their reasonable ac dons. The war would have been over long ago but for the hope held out to Aguinaldo by his admirers in America that the president would not be sus- tained in his policy of subjugation Of the rebels. The proclamations issu2d by -Aguinaldo attest to the evil wrought by his American supporters. What a pity that the creature Atkinson, rather than the hero Lawton, could not have been sacrificed, What a shameful pas sage in American history this pro- Filipino movement in America is creatingl The death of the heroic Law ton ought to give pause to the traitors who have been urging Aguinaldo to hold out. Otherwise the patriots should make them feel the full weight of their displeasure.

ENGLAND'S TRUSTS.

England was never before so deeply
 plastered over with trusts, syndicates and financial combinations as at pres ent. Every prominent industry Is GOV cred by financial arrangements of this kind. PrOspectuses have been issued
 this week for big combination of cal leo printers, which will include S5 per cent of that branch of industry in the United Kingdom. The capital of this huge amalgamation will be no less than thirty million dollars. This is one cut of hundreds of similar English amal- carnations similar to those commonly konwn as trusts in America Free trade offers no safeguards against them. English law is powerless to reg ulate them, for it is obviously imprac- ticable to prevent manufacturers from carrying out arrangements for selling their own properties to themselves, and

It is gratifying to know that the re-

 REDUCE age plant meets with
 TAXES. the approval of rnahy
 who formerly were op- posed to the idea of municipal owner ship. The committee applied business methods to it's task and canvassed the matter with the greatest care It pro- cured prices from recognized authori- ties, and estimated the needs of a city of at least 25,0O0 inhabitants. It is plain to the members of the committee that for S395, ,000-possibly less-a system corld be installed which would be a source of revenue to the city.
 The old fogy cry that there would be job" in the manipulation of the bonds and the installation of the plant has been met by the naming of fifteen of the representative men of the town from which number the city council may Selecl i've UT seven 10 OlSpOSe or the bonds, award contracts and super wise the construction of the system. With committee of this high charac- ter to handle the money and see that the work was properly executed the tax payers would be absolutely safe.
 The proposition is thoroughly busi- ness like, and The Republican believes that if the council keeps its word and orders an election the bonds will carry, and Phoenix will be provided with an up-to-date water and sewerage plant which will not only make this a more desirable town to live in from a sani- tary standpoint, but will be the means of reducing taxation.

POLICE MArRoNs IN UNIFORM.

When the fifty-nine police matrons went on duty last night they wore their new uniforms and shields, which indi- cate their elevation to full membership in the force. Henceforth they are sub ject to all the discipline of the regular policemen and will also benefit from the pension fund. Their uniform is a tailor made blue serge, with a tight fitting waist and a skirt to the shoe tops. Their shield is smaller than a patrolman's and rather more circular. It contains the inscription, Police De partment. City of New York;" and ''Matron." The shields are nickeled and the letters are in blue enamel New York Tribune.

 ton of the fact to insure such a reinforcing of the British armies in the field that the tide of battle will soon be turned. The proposition is simple: England cannot afford for an instant to permit the Boers, and much less the world, to believe that these re- verses which she has lately been suffer ing will cause her to withdraw from the contest and make terms. The fight ing, or the bluffing, or both, must be maintained to the last moment and with the last man. Else were England forever crushed to the rank of an insu- lar kingdom, beset by the enemies whom centuries of conquest and war fare have won for her.
 The least wavering now would be fatal. Europe is watching with eyes that penetrate into the most sacred se- crets of the English administration. Is there a faint heart in the cabinet at London, Germany knows the fact in- stanter. Is there a swelling chorus Of criticism, Russia hears it on the first echo. Is there a faltering in the war lords hand as he moves his pawns France trembles with eagerness for the counter-move.
