would be form of government that
would amply protect American inter
ests and at the same time fairly meet
the homerule, demands of the Fillpi-
nos" Continuing, Mr.. Bailey express
ed this opinion: lam not in favor of
killing of the FilipinOs in an effort to
hastily establish q fixed form of gov
eminent for them. That would be a
costly undertaking for Uncle Sam, and
wrong in principle. You see the Fill
pinos have had 300 years OF SPANS bru-
tai, treacherous, inhuman rule, and are
naturally Suspicious OF this country s
promises to give them anything like a
just government. That is the great
difficulty President Mckinley and con.
gEess will have to contend with. But l
am, as you know, a firm believer in this
country's desire to give the Filipinos
the best form ofgovernment consistent
with prevailing conditions, and am sat
isfed that President Mckinley will do
the right thing"
Speaking Of the American flag in the
Philippines Mr.. Bailey spoke with
much emphasis, saying: Yes sir, the
American flag is there TO stay, and If it
requires my services again to keep it
there, | am ready TO return. II nothing
but another prolonged fight will settle
differences, it is needless to say that the
supremacy Of the United States will be
maintained. But l am in hopes that
no more lighting will be necessary; and
1t Is possible that the administration
policy Of placing large army In Luzon
will have the effect of establishing
peace with out any more fighting.
That idea may be the best solution of
the problem. Furthermore, l believe
the enlarged fleet will greatly assist In
q quick termination of the war; for the |
fact is a thoroughly successful can
paign cannot be carried on there with
out the assistance Of a good sized naval
force"
Lieutenant Bailey stated that "the

A Chapter on Vaudeville,

| A newspaper friend Of Ehe Salt Lake
Tribune writes from New York to
make merry over Fred Royle's homily
upon the vaudeville theater. Those
who read Mr., Royle's article in Scrib-
ner's Magazine would imagine the vau-
deVille theater to be very close to the
pulpit and that the essence of all that
is good. moral, refined and elevated is
to be found on the vaudeville stage of
the present day. The correspondent in
question INDUCES in much that Is per-
sonal and calls attention to the fact that
so far as drawing the best artists to its
stage vaudeville theater is simply the
refuge of those who have become passe
through time, whose particular line of
acting is no longer desired on higher
classed stage, or who after a brief pc
Rod of success, have been unable to
keep up their former record and have
drifted into vaudeville as last hope.
To illustrate his position, this writer
gives the names of a number Of those
who are most widely exploited on the
vaudeville stage at present, recltes their
history and shows why they have been
forced to quit the higher walk for the
American music hall. As the letter is
private one and names are used with
familiarity that might arouse feelings
OF resentment, this part of the com
municaticn cannot be well quoted.
The correspondent, in addition to hay
ing wide experience In the newspaper
field, has been closely connected with
stage work, which gives him an oppor.
tunity for accurate observation. He
sees, however, AVast improvement in
the vaudeville thsater OF today over
the variety theater OF ten or twenty
years ago, and classes his letters as fol-
lows:

lts habitat in side street or blind alley.

The following anecdote of . three
horned beetle will give some idea Of it's
vast strength Of body. A beetle was
brought in, and, there being no box at
hand in which to put it. it was clapped
under quart bottle Of milk. which
happened to be upon the table. the hol-
low at the bottom Of the bottle allowing
the insect to stand upright.
Presently the bottle began to NOV
slowly and glide along the smooth tai
BILE, propelled by the muscular power Of
the imprisoned beetle. and continued
its travels fer some time. to the aston
ishment of all who witnessed it. Tho
weight of the bottle and its contents
could not have been less than three
pounds and a half. while that Of the
beetle was about half an ounce. So that
it readily moved weight l12 times
greater than its own.
A better notion than figures can con-
vey will be obtained Of this feat by sup
posing lad Of Is to be imprisoned

pounds and to move it to and fro upon
