VOLUNTEERS COMING HOME.
All in Cuba to BE Brought Back and
Mustered Out.

Washington, March 1.-THE war de-
partment has determined to muster
out and bring home all the volunteers
in Cuba, with the exception of the vol
unteer engineers and immunes. The
necessity for immediate action has
been brought to the attention Of the
war department on account of the
quarantine regulations against Cuba
which go into effect about May ! and
which are especially strict at all
southern ports 1t is possible that the
troops for the northern states may be
brought TO Montauk and Camp Wikoff
again be established, although the
present intention is to have all the
northern troops sent to Camp Meade
in Pennsylvania.

Chicago Council Approves City Gas,
Electric and Heating Plants

Chicago, March 14.-By a vote OF so
to the city council last night went on
record as being in favor Of municipal
ownership Of gas and electric lighting
and heating plants. 1t should be said,
however, that the matter was not dis
cussed and IL is believed that the aver
age alderman voted in favor OF the
proposal on the general ground that It
never would amount TO anything The
matter came up on resolution intro
duced by Alderman Bigane, asking the
legislature to pass such statutes as
would enable the distribution OF
electric light and heat.

CHICAGO WON'T PLAY WISCONSIN
Stage Decides Not to Meet Three
Western Universities on Gridiron.

Chicago, March 1.-THE Chicago
university will not play football this
year with the Universities OF Michigan,
Wisconsin and Illinois, as 1t has done
for several years. Instead of its regu-
lar Thanksgiving day game with Mich
igan ii will play Brown university on
that date. Its chief game outside of
Brown, will be with the University of
Pennsylvania. The decision not to
play with the three state universities
is based on the fact that they all de-
manded return games, and Chicago
would not play them unless they were
to be played in this city. The three
universities would not agree to this
and consequently Chicago will not play
them at all

MANILA SCHOOL s
Compulsory Education is
Now the Rule.
An Oregon Soldier Well known in
tendent of Schools.

George p. Anderson, who will be re-
membered by many Honoluluites as
being one of the Oregon BOYS TO go
through here with the first detach-
ment of troops for Manila, has been
appointed superintendent of Schools
for Manila. School attendance has
been made compulsory there and over
five thousand children were on hand
the opening day.
Mr.. Anderson resigned the professor
ship of Hebrew in the Willamette Uni
versity at Portland to enter the ranks
of the Second Oregon as a private in
Company II. His father was for many
years president of Whitman College at
Walla Walla, Wash, and later was at
the head Of the State University at
Seattle, which post he also held for
several years, being recognized as one
of the leading educators of the North
west. Young George had the advan-
tage of his fathers experience and SUI
peryisiOn in his studies and made a
had a bright future before him in his
chosen line of work, but he unhesita-
tingly gave it up at the first call for
troops to serve his country in her hour
of need
His is not an isolated case by any
means, many Of the boys having Civ
Ell up the best of positions and pros
poets to join the volunteers, but his
appointment to the position he now
holds, and which comes to him un-
sought. will hold him up to view as a
fair sample of the class of men of
which the rank and file of our armies
are composed. These are the boys
that are now being received with open
arms on their return to their homes
and v hO are being honored for their
fidelity to the cause as we'll as for the
patriotism shown in their prompt re-
Spouse to the call for men, without
stopping to consider the cost to them
selves, and who would do the same
thing over again if occasion demand
ed. To the fact that such men as
these form the bulk of our forces must
be ascribed the victories that have
almost invariably perched upon their
banners. Our soldiers are men of
brain as we'll as Drawn.

The Secretary of War has made a
number of decisions in regard to the
allowances of enlisted men. An en-
listed man travelling on duty under Or
ders on a United States transport will
not be allowed communication of ra-
tiOns for the time he is aboard He
will be quartered with the enlisted
men and will mess with them. An en-

orably discharged will be allowed the
usual travel allowances for the land
travel involved and free transporta
tion and subsistence by the transport
service. No travel allowances will be
made to enlisted men in those islands
who are hOnorably discharged to en-
able them to accept promotions. An
enlisted man serving in any of the
islands mentioned, who is discharged

fer to another branch of the service,
or on his own application or because
of confinement by the civil authori-
ties, or by punishment for an offense

MONEY IN CHINA.

The minis in China are established,
not by the authority of the central gov
eminent, but by the men in control OF
the various provinces. Each has its
own standard, so that the coins turned
out by each mint have a different val
lie. The so-called dollars" for in
stance. vary in value from 81 cents to
II cents. according to the province in
which they are made. Even the cop
per cash which are made with a
hole in the center, to facilitate string
ing them together, have no fixed val
ne, In some cases 900 of them equal
q dollar. while in others twice as many
are required.

WE WORRY TOO MUCH.

(From the Memphis Commercial AppeaL)
The breakdown in American life comes
from worry, and worry has almost come
to be a national disease. If an American
has money he worries himself into a
state of mind, and when he gets any
money he worries himself to death for
fear he will lose it. He worries at his
work because he is afraid he will not ac-
complish what he is given to do He wor-
rieS about his meals; they are not on
time, or they may disagree with him. or
they may be costing him too much. If
he pays for a thing in advance he is
afraid it will not come up to the speci-
ficatfons, and if he gets 1t credit he is
afraid he will not be able to pay for it
when the bill comes in.
He is afraid to leave his money in the
house lest it be stolen. He is afraid to
carry it with him lest somebody should
borrow it from him. He is afraid to put
it in bank lest the bank should fail. And
so he worries about it. He worries about
his business. whether it is going smoothly
or not. He worries about his family about
the education of his children and the prog
ress they are making He worries about
the nation, about congress. about the two
conventions, about the gubernatorial cleo
tons, about the tariff and financial ques-
tons. about the initiative and referendum.
