THE PRESIDENT AND PHILIP
PINES.


In his address at Minneapolis Presi-
dent Mckinley outlined his own views
more fully than ever as to the future of
the Philippine islands. He does not
permit himself to doubt that they will
be retained by congress, with the sup-
port of the people, under the benign
Sovereignty of the United States. He
also believes the people of those islands
will enjoy liberty as great and privi-
of our people at home. They will not
be governed las vassals serfs or
slaves, These statements are an
elaboration of the views the president
has been known to entertain, and they
will doubtless strike a popular chord
as being just TO the people of the is
lands, as we'll as lawful in our action as
a nation. Whatever the future, may
determine as to the Philippines, it is
apparent that in their chaotic condition
our nation can provide and guarantee
to the people of the islands better
government than they can establish
themselves. 1t would be a confession
lof the inferiority of our civilization to
affirm otherwise.
President Mckinley, while speaking
as an executive, can only present his
personal views. 1t is true that it is
within his power to suggest, direct and
Influence congress in the determining
of the Philippine problem, yet it re-
mains for that body to solve it. He has
indicated his own views and without
doubt he has outlined the opinions OF
the majority in congress. and the great
body of the people who support it.

LADY SACKVILLE COMING.
Report Mrs. George Gould Il Angling
for "a Wife for Her Brother
in-Law Frank.

Within ten days Lady Mary Sackville
will be in this country. crushed finger
and all. The finger was not so badly
hurt, and Lady Mary Sackville would
not forego the trip to America and the
stay at George Gould's English country
seat at Lakewood for many reasons.
Mrs. George Gould is an inveterate
matchmaker, and here preferences are
all for the nobility. 1t was she who
made the match between her sister-in-
law, Anna. and Boni de Castellane.
Now she has a greater purpose in
view. There is her brother-in-law,
Frank, who has just celebrated his ma
jority, and who has been introduced in
society this winter.
Mrs. George has set her heart, it is
said, on bringing about this match.
Frank has a leaning toward country
life and fox hunting and the sports and
pastimes of an English country gentle
man.
Lady Mary is young, handsome, and
dashing. In London she is credited
with dressing in a somewhat startling
manner, her gowns being odd combina-
tions of contrasting colors. But there
is a certain smartness and style about
her which is more Partisan than Eng
lish. She and her Younger sister, Lady
Margaret, are both clever in amateur
theatricals.

one Of a party Of three women who
were walking down Bond street Phil
adelphia, the other night.
This remark was addressed TO a
young woman riding on a bicycle and
wearing a decidedly abbreviated skirt.
Without a moments hesitation the
cyclist jumped from her wheel and
rushed over TO the woman that made
the remark and planted straight right
on her face. The other retaliated, and
soon there was a female prize fight,
in which four excited women yelled and
scratched one another, surrounded by
a crowd of grinning men.
Things were getting warm for the
lone rider when Special Officer Phelan
reached the scene He offered TO ar
rest all hands. but after explanations
had been made he decided TO let them
all go free. As the fair cyclist rode off
the last thing she heard was a shrill
cry from the three women on the pave
ment: "Twenty-fivc cents!"

Some time ago IA Paris doctor, who
was treating Nine. Mochert, a young
woman, for an affection of the thigh
joint, attempted to Photograph the seat
of the trouble with the Roentgen rays.
Nine. Mochert posed three times. The
third exposure lasted OVER an hour, and
it was subsequently noticed that the
skin was apparently burned. This
burn resulted in a wound that caused
long illness. Nine. Mochert sued the
doctor for 5000 francs damage. One
of the witnesses, DR.. Bardet, secretary
Of the Societe Therapeutique, testified
that burning would result in rare in
stances from the use of the Roentgen
rays. Everything depended on the pa
tents physical condition. He main
tanned that If the doctors were made
responsible for such accidents they
would be obliged to renounce the use of
the rays.

ponents of such papers are agitating
against them on the ground that it will

the motive for a severe rebuke of the

says:

Manuel Corsica is a retired organ
grinder, and for years he was familiar
about the streets of Louisville, KY,
with his little wheezy instrument and
monkey. After grinding out tunes for
the delectation of the citizens for half
a lifetime he amassed sufficient wealth
10 retire his monkey on full pay and
store his beloved instrument in the gar
ret of his own home. Then he became
the owner of other homes and was
looked upon by his countrymen as a
nabob.
Among the other houses Manuel
owned was that occupied by one Mi
chael bort, who was delinquent in the
matter of rent 10 the extent of three
months. But Manuel is nothing If not
a resourceful son of the land of glorious
sunsets, and the other night with
keen and satisfied glitter in his little
black eyes he hied himself TO the home
of Michael, armed with his old-time
helpmate-the hand organ. Taking up
his position before the bort domicile,
Manuel began grinding out brisl<ly
such tunes as Take Your Clothes and

taken a long breath to continue indefi-
