Senator Hale's View.

Washington, Feb. 6-Ssnator Hale
today gave to the Associated Press his inn
preston concerning the effect of the bat
tie of Manila on the peace treaty. He
said:
81 am not surprised at the occurrence.
II the treaty had been made as it ought
to have been made. putting the Philip
pines on the same basis as Cuba, no trou
BILE would have risen, or if the managers
of the treaty would have consented to an
amendment on this line there would have
been no trouble OF this kind; or still fur
ther, if they had agreed to the passage of
a Joint resolution declaring that Congress
did not expect permanent occupation.
troble would have been avoided. But the
truth is that underneath the expansion
newspapers and back of the movements ol
leaders of the expansion cause lies the
determination to be content with nothing
but permanent annex alton. This means g
protracted war of subj legation against the
people of the Philippine Islands. The
ratification of the treaty means moi
peace, but immediate war. We mus,
send more troops and more ships to Ma.
nila, and must take the immenee Job o
conauering the people who are trying to
establish government of their own"

DUSKY NEW WOMEN.
Females of an Arab Tribe Who Go
Unveiled While Their Men
Cover Their Faces.

Many an Arab lady never leaves her
house from the time she is married un-
til she is carried out to be buried, says
Pearson's Weekly. A woman of the
middle class is allowed more liberty,
and occasionally goes out for walks,
accompanied as rule by servant.
The poor creature is enveloped in
masses of white drapery, which make
her look like a walking bundle, and in
front of her face she arranges large
black scarf embroidered with blue, red
and white flowers. 1t falls low in front,
and, even by holding up the ends, she
cannot see more than foot or two of
the road before her. l often wonder
that she does not get run over when
she goes out alone, for am sure she
needs dog to guide her quite as much
as any blind man. Servants and other
women of the lower classes wear
pieces of black crepon wound tightly
round their faces, leaving just a slit
for their eyes to peep through, ana
they are equally mufaed up in white
draperies. Seen from a distance, they
might be men with masks or thick
black boards, as in Arab countries it is
by no means easy to tell a man from a
woman at first sight. The older and
uglier a woman is the more prudish she
seems to be about covering up her face,
which, after all, is rather considerable
on her part. Even the greater num-
ber of negresses wear the yashmak,
but the Bedouin women never do. In
deed, I am told that in the interior
! there is one Arab tribe whose men
wear wells, and whose women go about
with their faces uncovered. These are
probably the new women" of Africa

FORMOSAN CITY ABANDONED
Residents of PlaGue-Stricken Teck-
ham Are Compel ed to
Leave 1t.

The japanese governmenthas ordered
the destruction of the city of Teck-
ham, Formosa, and the removal of all
it's inhabitants to a. new location The
city is situated on the northwest coast
of the island, and has been frequently
subjected to pestilence. In 1896 and
1897 plaques visited Teckham with
enormous fatality. This fact being
called to the attention of the govern
ment, an investigation was ordered by
sanitary experts, who reported that
the city was built upon aswamp, where
upon an order was issued to the gov
ernor to select a new location as con-
venient to the old as possible. where
the natural conditions were healthful
A new city was laid out, and each prop
erty holder in the old one was assigned
q site that corresponded in area with
tine one he occupied at Teckham and
WIS given 12 months to move his build
ings and belongings. Sewers, railroads
and sidewalks, public buildings, water
works and all other public improve
ments were laid out by the gov ernment
in the new city without expense to the
people, but they were required 10 pay
the cost of the removal OF their owr
property. Most of the houses and othel
buildings in Teckham are built of very
light wooden material,

A BOY HERO.
The Pittsburgh Youth Who Fought
at Manila and Met Adj
miral Dewey.


One of the heroes of the battle of
Manila is a 13-year-old boy, who is
popularity called Boots" by his COM
rades. Boots" lately returned on the
transport City of Para, and has had the
distinction of having had personal in
terview with Admiral Dewey, who gave
him a free trip to Hong-Kong on the
Olympia because of his services in the
siege of Malate and the fight before
Manila. He is the boy who came from
Pittsburgh with the regiment. The
men smuggled him aboard the trans
port, but he had hard luck, as he fell
down the hatchway on the third day
out and broke his arm. He was all
light when Manila was reached, and IN
the trenches before Malate he carried
water and ammunition and paid no at
tention to the bullets. AS he said:
There was no chance to dodge 'em,
they came so quick" He was among
the first to enter Manila with cap
tured Spanish rifle, which he brings
back with him. On August 13 he
learned that the Olympia was to go To
Hong Kong, so he determined to make
the trip. He bearded the ship and
asked to be shown to the admiraPs
cabin. Dewey was sitting at table
with the captain of the ship.
"Boots" said: " salutes and says:
Admiral, I want to go to Hong Kong,
and he says, pleasant like: We'll, my
boy, you come aboard and we'll take
,you.'"
He was 13 days on the Olympia.
When he got back to Manila Col. Haw-
kins feared that he might catch the
fever, so he sent the boy to New York
on the transpOrt

BEGGARs GAIN WEALTH.
Number of European Mendicants
Who Left Pretty Snug
Fortunes.

The wealthiest known living profess
sional beggar, Simon Oppasich, an Aus
trian, was born without feet or hands,
and sympathy for his infrmities
brought him q large fortune in the
shape of aims. In 1880, when he was Al
years old, he had saved 6 IL, 600, and in
1888 he had increased his fortune by
speculation to 6 e25,00O in cash and
about 6 10000 in Trieste and Parenzo
estates. Since then he has quadrupled
his wealth by speculation on the
bourse, says the London Mail.
When Tori, well7known italian beg
gar, died last year, bank books, securi-
ties. gold and silver and other articles,
to the value of upward Of $4,000, were
found in his rooms. His heirs were two
nephews, who had been existing in a
state of miserable poverty for years.
A beggar who died in Auxerre,
France, in 1898, was found to have
bonds to the value of 1,0O0, 900 francs
in an old trunk and 400 bottles of wine
of the vintage of 1890.
The French seem to be generous
nation, for in the same year an old
woman, who lived in wretched garret
in the Rue de Sevres, Paris, died, leav-
ing government securities representing
an annual income of e21, all made by
begging.
A beggar named Gustave Marcelin,
of Avignon, died in November, 1892, and
left 100000 in French government
bonds, to be divided equally between
the city and the Bureau di Bienfais-
ance, the great French charity society.

BATHS NOT HER SPECIALITY
A Chicago Hospital Patient Who Had
Not Had One in Six
Months.

This actually occurred in one of the
hospitals in the city where a number
of patients from the lower walks of
life are brought for free treatment, re-
ports the Chicago Chronicle: One
night the police ambulance brought a
young woman who was suffering from
q severe case Of rheumatism. The first
part of the treatment accorded pa
tients is thorough bath before they
are placed between the clean sheets,
and the unpleasant task of administer
ing tie scrub is a part of the duty of
the probationers, as the nurses are
called during the first six months of
their training. The one who attempt
ed the work in this case found hope
less job on her hands, and after much
vain labor she went to' one of the older
nurses for advice. It being a case Of
rheumatism, they disEiked to risk put
ting her in tub, but there seemed to
be no help for it, so they soused her
into the hot water and used soap, soda,
alcohol and everything else the place
afforded and they rubbed, scrubbed
and secured with but little success. At
last the elder nurse exclaimed: 81
don't believe you ever had a bath be-
fore, did you?"

tones of indignation.
