COIumbias Outbo,vI the Carroll Insti-
tute Five.


The Carroll Institute ana Columbia Bowl
ing Club fWes contested in a three-game
match in the league series last night, and
the Columbias came out best, winning two
of the games. The match was bowled on
Simpsons alleys, and was one of the best
played contests Of the season. In the sec
ond game the Columbus ran string that
was much higher than any yet made in
the present bowling season, and one that
is very seldom equaied. AS an Offset to
fine string when they made $50 in the final
game. All the games were well played, the
Columbias scores being good throughout.
In addition to the big team score, another
record was made, inasmuch as Rice sue
ceeded in bowling seven strikes in the final
game. The best previous was six, and
number of league players had reached that
mark, Roderick having done so twice. An
unfortunate accident leaves the Columbia
great team total in the second game even
smaller than it might have been. In de-
livering the ball after an unbroken run in
the early stages Rodrick stumbled and fe.l
headlong upon the alley. The ball cleared
all the pins from the spots. but of course
was foul. After this play Rodrick contin-
ued his good work. but it was seen that the
foul had cost him thirty-two pins.
Co umbia had not much difficulty in pull
rating gap was but Twenty-Five pins at the
finish They secured a slight lead at the
outset, which was maintained to the close.
Ihough the visitors got up close several
tunes, they were never ahead,

Eastern Athletic Club The score was
Eastern Athletic Club, 10; Corcoran Cadet
Corps, Z.
The game was attended by one of the
largest gatherings of the season, and proved
fierce contest from start to finish. In the
last half of the game little roughness
crept in, and for this reason Ockert of
the Easterns was ruled out by Referee
Ferris. HIS position in the game was filed
by Hughes.
The Easterns put up a far superior game
to the Corcorans and their excellent pass
ing and goal-throwing won them the game
The ball-passing of this team was fast and
a number of exciting throws the full length
of the Infantry hall We're made during the
evening. The goal-throwlng from the field
was the prettiest of the season and brought
out rounds of applause.
Thompson scored four goals of the most
exciting nature, followed shortly by the
star work of Dunn. Ellis and Gooding in
the same line.
For the Corcorans, Collins Clark and
Rowland put up a good exhibition and
scored the goals made by their team. Zell
and Moriarty also put up good game. The
soldier boys need considerable practice in
field work and baIl-passing, the Easterns
having a complete walk-over in this line,
as was demonstrated in last nights game
But few long throws were INDUCED in, only
to be intercepted by the Easterns and thus
kept away from the Corcoran goal.

b DAILY REPUBLICAN
The Philippine Islands.

Parties who oppose the control Of
the Philippine Islands by our Cow
eminent should point out better
plan to promote the welfare of the
people living there. If the Islands
had been left in their possession an
effort would have been made to as
sert Spanish authority and a bloody
war would have cnsued. 1t may be
said our government need not have
concerned itself about this matter,
as it is not responsible Tor the con-
dition Of any outside Of our country.
This is a very selfish view of the
duty of a Christian people. Bar
barians could not advocate policy
more cruel OF selfish.
We do not desire to coerce the
Filipenos, but if they refuse or good
offers and set up government adj
verse to our policy, we must use
force to render them tractable. Oh,
leave them to fight their own battles.
Had it not been for our Government,
Spain would still dominate that ter
ritory, and there would be little hope
Of the emancipation of the people
from Spanish oppression. Having
gone thus far we cannot we'll lelin-
quish our proposed policy TO estab-
hsh stable government in the
Philippines, and those who advise
a retrogressive course. are really
enemies of good government and
greatly behind the demands Of the
age.

IVhe owns Vilmia6tel.

The above Is an exceedingly per-
tinent question at this time, The,
answer would ordinarily be. very
easy, since primarily the city be-
longs to the inhabitants but in
these rccehtstlmes it has Gmc; ia De
regarded M the propsiAy 6f thAiaX;
consumers, a small fraction Of The
whole population. It goes without
saying that the people get in return
for the money taken from them by
the city officials in the way of tax
alton, much less than they have
every right to expect. The theory
that government exists for the bene-
fit of the people has long since
been exploded and the opposite idea
that it exists for the benefit Of those
who may succeed by hook or by
crook in capturing the Offices has
prevailed these many years. A
remedy for these ills is needed and
badly needed. What shall it be? A
new charter that will restore the
city TO its rightful owners, the peo-
pie? Or shall we go on as we have
been going, until the property ofour
citizens becomes utterly worthless
and grass begins to grow in our
streets:

If the citizens would write to
their representatives in the Legsl;t-
ture telling them what they want
done, perhaps it might prevent the
members from stickingout for dis
agreement in going into caucus and
thereby cheat the Republican party
but of Republican United States
SeAtor. 1t will not do for the rep
resentatives of the people in the Leg
islatureto fail in their duty and say
that they cannot agree on Senator.
They must agree, the people demand
that much. That is the reason the
Republican party was successful
at the last election. But If by Il
prolonged fight a United States Sen
ator is not elected the men repre-
senting the Republican patty will
be held responsible. Delaware two
years hence should have two Re
publican Senators to represent the
little Diamond State. 1t remains to
be seen whether the Republican
party is to be trusted by the people
in performing its duty to them.
Failure to elect a Senator will re-
suit in the defeat Of the Republic
can party at every election for the
next two years and a disruption of
the party.

Experts in gold mining agree that
pretty much the bottom fact now known
about such metal ia briefly that all orig
inal pyrites Of small grain texture con.
tain gold to greater or less extent,
this, Of course, not covering such SEQ.
ondary large crystal pyritous deposits
derived from veins. 1t is not yet known,
however, whether the gold in these
pyrites il in chemical combination with
the sulphide Of gold, or whether each
minute particle Of gold ia simply cover
cd with coating Of sulphide of iron,
or finally whether such PARTICLES are in
the metallic state, but alleged with sill.
yer or other metal which combines more
rapidly with sulphur than the gold
does, and consequently forms a coat Of
sulphide Of silver over the gold. The
PARTICLES Of gold are so minute and the
combinations follow go rapidly during
the splitting up of these pyrites that
the finest instruments and tests known
to chemistry have as yet been unable to
settle this part Of the question to the
satisfaction Of all concerned, this fact
showing how easy it is to put in a mill
that will not save the values.

Stupidity Rewarded.

This story is told of Sir Walter Scott,
who was far from being brilliant pu-
pill ut school: After he became famous
heone day dropped into the old school
to pay visit to the scene Of his former
woes. The teacher was anxious to make
a good impression on the writer and
put the pupils through their lessons SO
as to show them to the best advantage.
After awhile Scott said: But which is
the Ounce? You have one surely. Show
him to me.
The teacher called up poor fellow
who looked the picture Of woe as he
bashfully came toward the distin-
guished visitor.
"Are you the dunce?" asked Scott.
"Yes, SIR" said the boy.
"Well, my good fellow" said Scott,
"here is crown for you for keeping
my place warm"

So" writes Edward Box in The Ladies'
Home Journal. "All students Of men
agree in this view, just as excessive al
coholio drinking is falling into disuse.

both excessive swearing and drinking IL
that men are getting more and more
