event of the day is to be the parade of

ceive the congratulations OF his fellow
citizens on the manner in which the war
has been prosecuted to a successful con-

almost believes the close Of all is nsar.
In accordance with her order, all her

OF great value to biographer-unpub

fruit Of busy lifetime was reduced to

Mrs. Ltyermore stated to an intimate

While Mrs. Livermore feels at timss
that her end is very near. her friends hope

Government in the Philippines.

This is the form of government offered
to the Filpinos by President Mckinley
under his military powers. and pending
the action OF Congress:
4 Governor General, TO be appointed ly H..
President; a cabinet, TO be appointed by the Gov,
rrnor General; all the judges to be appointed by
the President; the heads of departments ans
Judges to be either Americans or Fiiipiny- OF
both. and also general advisory council. it.
members TO be chosen by the people by a foir
uf suffrage TO be hereafter carefully dstcrrniled
upon.
II there is any criticism to find with this
proposal it is that it is too liberal. For the
Filipinos have no conception of stable
government, and until they are trained
TO an understanding of it the wisdom OF 4
policy which permits them to participate
In its affairs, even TO a limited degree
may we'll be questioned.
General Otis has denied the request of
Aguinaldo's Commissioners for an armis-
tice. The insurgents are returning to
their homes, which is regarded as sign
that they are anxious for peace. The
peace negotiations are of more impor-
tance than the military operations. for it
can be but a short time before the latter
are brought to a close. Practically speak
ing, the campaign is over, and if the Fill
;pinos do not accept the very liberal terms
offered to them by us-so much better
than they enjoyed under Spanish rule
they must without exception be fit candi-
dates for a madhouse.

FEmigatinE the Former Spanish
Cruiser at Newport News.
Newport News, Va. May 23.-There was
a throng Of people at Old Point Comfort
again yesterday and today to see the form
er Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes, which
arrived in Hampton Roads Sunday after
noon The Spanish cruiser rides high out
of the water, pulling restlessly at her an
chors. From the water line far up on her
sides she is dirty, and. altogether. she
looks as II she had just come from a naval
battle Nothing is known as yet as to the
extent CT the repairs that will be neces-
sary to put the Mercedes in fighting trim
again. Thursday afternoon she will be
towed to the Norfolk navy yard, and
board of officers sent from the Navy De-
partment will hold a survey TO determine
what is necessary TO be done. No one is
allowed aboard the vessel.
The marine hospital surgeons began fu-
migating the Mercedes yesterday. The ship
is being cleansed with bichloride OF mer-
curry and the clothing and bedding Of the
crew put in the steam chamber, destroy
ing what germs Of disease may exist The
members OF the crew are free from disease.

The Criminal Cigarette.

At the Charities and Corrections Con-
ference in Cincinnati yesterday the super
intendent of the Illinois State Reformatory
spoke on THE Relation of the Cigarette
to Crime" He was sure that cigarettes
were making more criminals than were the
saloons. In his reformatory there are now
two hundred and seventy eight boys. OF
sixty-three. averaging twelve years Of age.
fifty-eight were cigarette smokers; OF one
hundred and thirty three. averaging four
teen years of age. one hundred and twenty
five were cigarette smokers: of eighty-twO.
averaging fifteen years OF age. seventy
three were cigarette smokers.
Which would demonstrate that ninety
two per cent Of the whole number were ad-
dicted to cigarette smoking at the time Of
committing the crimes for which they were
punished. But there must have been other
influences which contributed to the GRIM
inal instinct. The habit is not desirable
one; in fact, to many it is extremely Of
fensive: but there is nothing to indicate
that it is on the decline. Indeed. If any
thing. it is increasing. notwithstanding the
fact that one or more Legislatures have
seen fit to enact laws against 1t. And
there are many men whose white hair en-
titles them to respect who are as much
given to the custom as the members OF the
rising generation.

wagons, and announced that he determined
to make the experiment this summer.

rick's secret for preserving butter was
much sought. as was also the secret for
preserving fresh meat. A quarter of beef
was put through the process and hung in
the sun for n long period. Some months
after it was put through the process it
was tested by responsible persons, who
pronounced it excellent food. Hamrick
had many fattering offers for his secrets.
He used herbs largely. although chemicals
which he frequently obtained in Cumber
