Under a plan that has been arranged be-

Gals Of the War Department, the Ameri-
car fighting force in the Philippines will
be increased to $4,000 men, all regulars,
by the beginning Of the dry season. This
number is 5000 greater thar estimated by
Gen. Otis as necessary to Quell the insur-
rection. The administration, however.
has ONE to the conclusion that it is better
to have a few more troops than lust
enough required for all purposes in the
Philippine campaign.
After a great deal of consideration of
the subject the determination was reach

with 10000 troops it would be necessary
to give him n surplus number, so the sick.

educators in the universities Of the West

for the labors to be taken up next fall,
Without exception these letters tell Of a
wonderful work done in the last ten
months. In many institutions this years
attendance never before was equaled, and
in none has it fallen below other records.
New buildings have been erected, courses
Of study have been enlarged and improved.
additions have been made to faculties, and
many institutions have had their endow-
ments increased by substantial donations.
Throughout the Western educational
world the same story is told. :.
Among the colleges which have shown
particular vigor this year are the Uni

ance was 1856 in excess of any previous
record; the University Of Illinois. which
set a new mark-1G higher thar the last

its history, Lake Forest University, whose

Little Of the $50,OOO.OOO appropriated
by Congress before the war with Spain,

in the treasury. Allotments made by the
President exceed that sum by $58,216.9O.
but as the War Department has a little

AS the war with Spain was primarily a
naval struggle, most of the money appro-

Beware Of Food Samples,

Quite recently in New York two
deaths occurred from poisoning by the
use of powders sent TO the victims by
mall. In Leayenworth, Rans., the 9TH
er day nearly every doctor was called
to attend the children who had gather
ed up eaten, and been made i'll by
samples of an article left at houses by
canvassers for advertising purposes.
Alum baking powders have always
been favorite arblcles for this samp-
ling business. Yet there is nothing
more liable to lead to danger than the
practice of using the various samples
of baking powder left at the door.
They are presented by irresponsible
parties, in appearance are not disting-
ushable from arsenic, and indeed, in
Indiana some time since one package
was found, after 1t had caused the
death of the housewife, to have been
mixed with that poison.
1t Is safer to refuse all samples of
food or medicine offered at the door.
! Pure cream of tartar baking powders
sell upon their merits, and are never
peddled or sampled.
