italy in London.

Many Londoners have heard about
the Italian district, which lies in the
neighborhood of Theobald's road and
Hatton garden, and some with inquir-
ing minds have strolled mp Leather
lane and watched the italian ice cream
venders and fortune telling women
with pretty love birds, intermingled
with the dirty, noisy street hawkers,
common to all London slums. 1t is
amusing to watch the old padri making
purchases of meat and vegetables for
the Sunday dinner, or young Fran
cisco and Madalena choosing "gold"
ring with which to plight their troth.

Francisco slips his arm around her

the friends applaud with "Bene!Bravo,

how these Italians crowd together in
the poky little houses of the courts and
alleys. Generally house is hired by
an old padrone, who sublets to as many
OF his countrymen she can respectfully
squeeze in. The cellars are utilized
as sleeping apartments, and in the
morning as many as 20, even 30, men
will emerge from the bowels of the
earth, blinking and winking in the
daylight after night in the cellars

that, in spite of the danger from wild

that in such places there is ten times
more life on the level OF the tree tops
than on the ground, there is no single

speaking, has become ':arboreal" and

TIE Rue Berckmans, one of the

of large rats. No house has been free

His title is Sultan of Sulu.,5 We
have annexed him, together with the
Philippine Islands. His subjects are
all devout Mohammedans. II
He is everything that Sultan
should be. He hae a harem and .

enemies and friends, and is in con-

The Sulus are small group Of ISL
ands stretching between Mindanao,
the southernmost of the Philippines,
and the, northeast corner of Borneo,
the second largest island in thsworld:
They have population of 4OO0people,
and an area of $50 square miles.
The inhabitants of the Sulus are
called Moros. 1t is their chief,pecu-
liarity ito be Mohammedans. The
foundation of the race is Malay, as in
the Philippines, but the Moros have
been strongly influenced by Arab
blood.
In the seventeenth century an Arab
named Said Ali conquered the Sulu
Islands and forcibly converted the ma
tives to Islamism. He and his fol-
lowers took large numbers of:wives,
and thus added an Arabian strain to
the Malay race.
The Moros are governed by sultans
and by hereditary chiefs called datos.
The latter are often supreme in their
own domains, but are supposed to give
homage to the Sultan of Sulu.
The Sultan lives as we expect Sui
tan to do. He has a great harem,
replenished by periodical raids among
all the Philippine Islands. He has q
grand vizier, and u barber who tells
him stories.
The Moros are not particularly
obedlent to their Sultan. Sometimes

EWEY.

Admiral Dewey has emphatIcally
declined TO boone a candidate for
the presidency, and the sincerity of
his refusal will not be questioned.
IL is worth remembering, though,
that other Americans who had dis
tinguished themselves at arms made
as pointed refusals to enter the field
of politics, and just the same after
ward became president of the United
States, says the Spokesman-Review.
For example, Washington. In his
address to congress, taking leave of
his military command, he said !:
'tHaving now finished the great work
assigned me, retire from the theater
of action, and bidding an affectionate
farewell to this august body, under
whose orders 1 have long acted, 1
here offer my commission and take
my leave of'all the employments of
public life." Later, IN letter to
John Jay, Washington emphasized
his desire 20 avoid the cares of
public life. Having happily as
sisted in bringing the ship into port, y
wrote he, 'and having been fairly
discharged, it is not my business to
embark again on the sea of troubles" :"
Yet Washington lived to round out
two terms in the White House.
Jackson was more vehement in his
refusal to become candidate for
president. His secretary quotes him
as. saying: "Do they suppose that
1 am such a id fool as to think
myself fit for president of the United
States? No, sir. know what 1 am
fit for. l can command body of
men in rough way, but am not
fit to be president" jackson, too,
rounded out two terms as president.
Thus it is seen that two of our
greatest presidents we're unconscious
of the true measure of their great
ness. Dewey has the Washingtonian
and Jacksonian attribute of modest
worth, and it may be that history
will repeat itself in his case. In his
quick rise to world wide fame, fine
lesson may be traced for the guidance
of American citizenship. He had
the capacity to perform well his life
duty in patient, plodding manner.
He bad all but approached the age
of enforced retirement before fortune
threw him the laurel wreath, and
then his honors came in a fortuitous
way. First came the great chance
Of war, and by good fortune Dewey
was on the Asiatic station. Here
was the supreme contact of the op-
portunity and the man.
1t is glorious that the navy has its
Dewey of tried worth and greatness.
but tits greater glory that action
has shown the presence of host of
men endowed with the qualities
which Dewey has disclosed. Dewey
is fair type of the American naval
ofacer-faithful, industrious, patient,
modest and brave; willing to wait
and work lifetime for one hour of
opportunity.

Turkish Press Censorship.

The censorship is so strictly applied

den to give any account of the murder

counts that were allowed to appear, she
was taking a walk and was suddenly
seized with illness. She fell to the
ground, got up again, and again fell un
conscious In half an hour she was
dead.
The use of the words anarchist. nihil-
ist, etc., is forbidden, so the newspapers
have been saying "disturbers Of the
peace" "lawless element, etc.. but
now the censorship has forbidden even
these and has required the substitution
of "Utopians" and "Utopianism."
In order to maintain the fiction that

it is Mohammedan, is subject to the sui
tan of Turkey, it is forbidden to men
