A quiet-loolling, smooth-shaved man,
with a straw hat pushed back from his
forehead registered from an adjoining
parish at the Grunewold last evening and
laid a package on the counter, says the
New Orleans Times Democrat The pack
age was about the size of an unabridged
dictionary and was wrapped up in an old
newspaper that bore The stains of travel.
1t was tied with a piece of white cotton

the stranger. "An right, sir" replied the
clerk, and reaching for the receipt book
proceeded 10 fiji Out a blank. What's the

thousand dollars" answered the smooth
shaver man in an onhand tone What

"Sivty-five thousand" repeated the

He opened the paper and disclosed a rec
tangular block Of SO bills, packed as tight
as sarrines. They were nearly all Well
worn, but nevertheless the grimy mass
looked strongly tempting. Its tremendous
potentiality drove a spur into the mag
ination of the dullest chap in the corridor,
and everybody began to tell what he would
do if ne were rich. Meanwhile the smooth
shaver man readjusted the cover, sealed
il with wax, pocketed his receipt, and
walked off. He was country banker

The Money Was All Right.

An old negro and his wife who found
freedom through Clay's efforts made their
nome in Washington, where the old man,
with the assistance of some white folks,
turned an unused barn into a meeting
place for religious services, says the New
York Tribune. He was indefatigable in
his efforts to collect a sufficient fund to
supply a pulpit and so on. One Sunday
morning he was walking along PennsyVa-
MIA avenue, when he happened to meet the
great Kentucky senator. "Well, Bob"
says the senator, what are you doing out
so early Sunday mornng?' "Sarvant

and Clay moved on. Turning suddenly
he said, Come here, Bob; come here"
Taking from his pocket a roll of bills, he
continued: "Heare is $50 I won at cards
after sitting up all last night. Now, if
you can reconcile the use of money got in
that way to church purposes take it

Oh, the elephants a-sitting on the water
melon tree,
A-singing of his home upon the deep and
blooming sea,
While the noble kangaroo
Is inquiring for the zoo
And the snakes are riding bicycles, as
happy as can be.
Oh, the whale is soaring gracefully
through the warm winter sky,
While the jellyfsh play football in the
turnip-tield hard by
And the tiger and the mouse
Are building of a house
In the green and fertile desert, while the
rabbits wonder why.
Oh, the parents in this country strange
are striving every day
To foster in their little ones an aptitude
for play;
But every girl and boy
Thinks studying JOY,
And play a bore. and begs for work to
pass the time away!

Senator Burrows of Michigan warns his
Republican friends that unless the Phil
ippine war is ended before the next ma
tional election the Republican party will
have a very hard time electing it's candI-
date for President Evidently the sena-
tor has expressed the fears entertained
by many of the Republican leaders. They
are beginning to understand that the war
is becoming unpopular, and that the only
thing that can save their party from pol.t-
zeal condemnation is a successful conclu-
sion of the war within the next few
months
Senator Burrows thinks, as do
great many other prominent men
of both political parties, that 1t
is not necessary to own the Phil
ppines in order to control the greater
part of their trade, and that it is not nee
ossary to possess them in order to get
our share of the trade of China, when the
threatened breakup in the Chinese empire
comes.
A naval station at Manila would have
answered our purpose and that we could
have obtained without costly war. The
senator says. however, that now that we
are in the war with the Filipinos We shall
have to fight it out, but from his point of
view his party viii suffer severely if the
islands are not pacifed before The close
of the presidential campaign.
What the senator is particularly afraid
of is trouble with Great Britain or Ger
many He is of the opinion that as friend
ly as England appears to be now she viii
not hesitate to strike us il she finds that
we are running counter to her interests in
China. And il is certain that Germany
would be swift TO improve an opportunity
to make our stay in the East unpleasant.
All things considered therefore the prob
ability is that we shall pay very big
price for whatever trade we get from the
Philippines and other parts of the East.
The President is undoubtedly apprehen-
sive that the Philippine war win be q
heavy burden for him to carry in his er-
fort TO get another term. 1t viii not be
surprising, therefore. if another general
is sent to command in the Islands, nor if
the campaign which viii be begun
at the close of the rainy season Is a
very vigorous one.

A cable from Rome a day or two ago
said that Admiral Dewey had been in
structed by his government not to touch
at any Italian port on his way home be-
cause of the feeling engendered in Italy
by the lynching of Italians in Louisiana.
The report was absurd, Of course, and the
falsity of it was emphasized in the Trieste
dispatch of yesterday, which said that the
Olympia had sailed from that port directly
for Naples. And there Is every reason
for thinking the American admiral Will
be well and courteously received by the
Italian authorities.

caught negro named Franklin, who had
assaulted a white woman, put a rope
around his neck and was about TO lynch
him when a constable with pistol put

Northern mob is so terribly afraid of get

chance, while the Southern mob doesut

ing of the color line is before a Brooklyn
court An agent for the Prudential In
surance Company solicited, secured and
wrote applications for life insurance poll
cies for Mrs. Morse and several of her
children. The applications were accepted
by the company. But the day following
the acceptance of the applications the
companys physician discovered that Mrs.

people but light mulattoes. Upon this
fact being laid before the company, il de-
cnned to issue policies to the applicants,

Morse thereupon instituted suit against
the company for damages, under that sec
ton of the penal code which relates to
