A STANDARD OF TASTE.
Some People Doubt if There Is Such a
Thing Nowadays.


From the Chicago Chronicle
AS l grow older" remarked a highly
cultured woman the other day, Il be-
gin to doubt if there is such a thing as
a standard of taste. SO many people
choose and are perfectly satisfied with
decorations and clothes that l think
quite hideous that l often ask myself,
Am l right, or are they right?' or is
the whole thing simply a matter of in
dividual taste?
My first takedown in this direction
was from our rector in the country.
He was a plain man, with a great deal
of obstinacy. So, when our little
church needed renovation, he proposed
to put the whole job into the hands of
the firm of which Mr.. X. is a member.
He is a successful builder of garishly
adorned flats. At this the women of his
congregation protested and they strong
ly urged upon the rector and vestry
that l should be requested to choose
the interior decorations, whereupon the
former remarked:
You think one way, ladies, and of
course we all know you have very good
taste. Mr.. Y. and l think another way
and, while our tastes may be different,
we consider it equally good. All things
being equal, therefore, in that respect,
we must consider the matter from a
business point of view and there we
we must leave the entire matter to Mr..
x. and feel satisfied that with his eX-
perience we cannot go amiss.'
And so the church was decorated
and, in my estimation. spoiled, although
our rector and two-thirds of the con-
gregation think it perfectly beautiful
Not long ago a costly house was
built in our neighborhood by a we'll
known architect 1t has been much
criticised and the opinions are diamet-
really opposite. One afternoon two
women called upon me at different
times, and as the new house is in full
view from our veranda its appearance
was naturally commented upon.
What do you think of it?' said Wis
itor No. /. Why, there can be only one
opinion. / should say it is hopelessly
and irredeemably ugly Visitor No. 2's
comment was as follows: Perfectly
beautiful! The lines are absolutely
faultless.'
Both critics were women of culture
Which one was right, or, as l said in
the beginning, is there no criterion of
taste after all?"

HIS TRIP TO MANILA, CHINA ANE
JAPAN.
He Thinks the Philippines Should be
Retained and That Otis Is Doing
Good Work.

United States Consul-General Will
liam Haywood and family returned
this morning on the steamship Coptic
from his trip to the Philippines, China
and Japan. While in Manila the Con-
sui General had several interviews
with General Otis and took occasion to
see all that he could of the country. He
is enthusiastic in praise of the Philip
pine Islands, and speaks highly of the
work and plans of General Otis, who,
he thinks will very soon complete the
work for which he was sent there.
IF the people of the United States
knew that a splendid country there is
in their grasp in the far East and could
appreciate its great resources, almost
untouched" said Mr.. Haywood, they
would be as enthusiastic as l am about
the place. The possibilities for Ameri-
can capital there are unlimited. In all
my travelling l did not meet a single
foreigner who was not of the opinion
that the United States would be guilty
of folly if it gave up the advantages it
has there.
General Otis told me something of
| his plans during the conversations |
had with him, and l am thoroughly con-
vinced that he is going about his task
in the right way, and will establish
peace in a very short time. Even if
| the islands cost several times what they
are likely to, l should say that aband-
oning them should not be thought of
AS an agricultural country and in min
eral wealth the country is richer by far
| than most people are aware of.
"The climate of Manila is not much
| warmer than Honolulu, and with Am
erican improvements and management
| the place will be a fine city some day
Proper buildings, electric fans and
such appliances as we have here will
! lower the temperature ten degrees and
as it is 1 wore the same clothes as l dc
here. Manila will never be as fine q
city as Honolulu, but it has great
future before 1t"
Consul General Haywood will remain
here until his work is ended. He con-
fidently expects that Congress will eX.
| tend American laws to the islands early
in the coming session and that his work
as an American consul here will be
over by next February. Mrs. Haywood
will continue the journey to their home
in Washington, leaving tonight. The
Consul General is so confident of ar
early recall that he has given up his
home here.
In additions to their visit to Manila
Mr.. and Mrs. Haywood made a tOul
of China and Japan, visiting most o.
the places of interest in both countries

PEOPLE OF HAWAII.
Senator Clark Says We Should Have
Territory.

Senator Clark of Wyoming, who has
been in Hawaii much of the time since
the adjournment Of last Congress, is
greatly impressed With the Importance
of legislation as early as possible giving
Hawaii a territorial form of govern
ment
THE people of Hawaii" he said, are
the most hospitable on earth. They are
fine people; they have ii fine coun-
tryy"and we have right to be glad of
their coming under the American flag.
The greatest prosperity is apparent
throughout the Islands and money is
no more abundant anywhere in the
world. The people of all classes are
bright and intelligent and the percen-
tage of education is very high. What
they want and what should be given
them as soon as Congress meets, is a
territorial form of government, so that
they may feel that they are actually
part of this country, and will not have
to have their baggage overhauled at the
custom house and be compelled to pay
duties when they land at San Fran
cisco.
They are in every way entitled to be
received as a territory, with the pros
pect of some time or other becoming a
state of the union

SAYS HAWAII WILL SURELY BE
A TERRITORY.
Talk of a Colony Springs From Homo
lulu, and People Should be More Care
full in What They Say.

There is no talk or idea in the States
of colonial form of government for
the Hawaiian Islands" says Senator
Henry Waterhouse.
The whole thing started and is being
kept up right here i'm Honolulu. L
doubt not thaf here are trusts and
other interests the mainland that
would like to bleed the Islands if they
could. There is a general impression
that Hawaii has made a great deal of
money and is immensely prosperous,
and some people in the East feel that
they might just as well have the bene-
fit of any legislation going on.
But our troubles are made right
here. The are certain people who are
raising issues and discussing public
questions in such a way as to give any
colonial advocates a tremendous lever.
If the colonial project is broached in
Congress we can thank our own selves
for it.
President Mckinley and all of the
prominent men with whom I talked
while east are exceedingly friendly to
Hawaii. 1t is notorious fact now that
President Mckinley always refers to us
as the Territory of Hawaii This has
been done in all of his speeches.
1T is self evident to me that the
whole United States thinks of nothing
but territorial form of government
for the Islands. The colonial agitation,
as far it does or may appear is fed by
Honolulu"
Senator Waterhouse is most confident
of the future of Honolulu. He said this
morning that he was not afraid of any
island investment, and was ready to
buy anything from a azor-bGck pig up
to stock in brand new plantation. His
tour of the East has convinced him
that Hawaii is still the best country on
earth, for business and in every other
respect
