What of our new caught sullen peo
ples!" Sullen they are, and no easy
burden for the white man, but never
theless the Philippines offer a splendid
field for the civilizing influences of the
American nation. There is probably
no group of islands in the world where
so many civilized, semi-civilized and
wholly brutal races are so punched to-
gether as in these new possessions of
Uncle Sam. With a mongrel aggrega-
ton of natives in state of open re-
volt, General Otis and Admiral Dewey
have harder task on their hands than
is probably realized at home. 1t is not
alone Aguinaldo and his men with
whom the Americans have to contend,
but the horde of savages in the interior
of the islands, some of whom are as
vindictive and dangerous as tigers and
equally as cunning and elusive. If the
Americans are forced to hunt down and
subjugate these bloodthirsty forest
jewellers it is a long and wearisome
guerrilla war that the United States
will have on her hands.
The Spaniards gave up all idea of
tanning these subjects long ago and
tyranny, killing when they were
in a killing mood and getting killed
when the cunning of the tribesmen
proved more than match for the
white mans superior weapons. 1t is
not to be expected that these natives
with their innate hatred for the white
oppressor will understand the differ
ence between the Spanish tyrant ana
the American nberator. and the legacy
of devastation Tor Spain that the wild
tribes of the Philippines have inherited
will add to the obstacles that Americans
must overcome in bringing the island
ers to terms.
1t is necessary to go back several
centuries to find the original Filipino.
He may have been happy and content
ed before the merciless hand of Spain
gripped him by the neck. Since then
ne has been the most unhappy and dis
contented mortal living, as Spain knows
to her sorrow. 1t will take many years
to thoroughly eradica te the evil influ-
ence of Spanish rule. The native of
the interior speaks of a Spaniard by
names that he applies besides only to
the devil or to his worst enemy OF
morals he scarcely knows the meaning,
and in many instances his religion is
as ferocious and fanatical as that of
the savage tribes of mid-Asia or CEN
trail Africa.
The ancestors of these men We're a
primitive tribe who were beaten and
dispossessed by fierce race that over
ran the islands from Borneo. These
conquerors later became the conquered,
when a race of Malays descended on
their homes and took possession. The
Malays were tough and daring race
and they held their own on the islands
until the arrival of the Spaniards in the
sixteenth century. When beaten they
refused to acknowledge allegiance to
sthe conqueror and retired sullenly into
/. the forests and Businesses of the ISL
ands, where they have lived at enrnity
with the Spaniards ever since.
The islands have been drenched with
blood. Massacre has followed massa-
ere. Now it was a wholesale murder
by the Spaniards and again the ma
tives would slaughter the whites by the
thousand. OF late years Spanish bull

There is no truth in these stories so
far as our nations are concerned We
have been approached by agents of
Mexican land companies, but none of
these can sell the Indian governmental
rights in Mexico. These agents are
only trying to sell land to the Indians

The Mexlcans go to Washington city

GIRDLE OF BRlLLIANTS.
Jewels Encirc1e Waist of New York
Belle,

belle
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, formerly
Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt of New YORK,
has lately created a sensation among
the novelty-loving members of the 400
by wearing uniquely jeweled girdle Of
fabulous cost, which is both cincture
for the waist and dress trimming COM
bined.
The girdle came from Europe and has
but recently been presented to Mrs.
Whitney by her husband.
1t Is of repousse gold, with nine long
dangling chains holding in their meshas
rare and costly gems. One charm of the
girdle is that it fits Mrs. Whltney's
slender figure as if it We're made Of
slstening satin instead of cleaning
gold.
The girdle is cut in points at the top
and bottom, and it is SO deep that it
forms a perfect corselet. At the sides
it is trifie lower than in the front.
The fastening is at the left side, but it
is invisible.
This corselet of gold shows a wonder
fully beautiful raised design of orchids
and leaves most eXquisitely wrought.
Alone it would be well worth, covetng
But in its dangling chains lies IT'S spe-
cial novelty. From each point of the
girdle across the front and at the sides
chain of jewels is suspended
-lHeSe cHalHS vary IN length, the long
est one falling from the center point,
the shorter ones at the sides. Each
chain is finished with a gold knob and
a tassel of threads of gold.
And the gold chains hold thousands
of dollars worth of rare gems. The
center chain is studded with whole
pearls of most beautiful luster; the
largest ones set toward the top. On
one side of the chain is a string of tur-
quoises; on the other sapphires. The
jewels are set at short spaces apart.
From the other chains CLEAN a variety
of gems. One of the shorter chains is
studded with five jewels, ruby, a dia-
mond, emerald, opal and sapphire.
The chains have the effect of Won
derful scintillating jeweled fringe
The only time that the 400" had an
opportunity to see this marvellous girdle
was one night at the opera, just before
Mrs. Whitney started for the south.
She wore it on that occasion with a
simple gown of white silk null over
white silk. The jeweled chain formed
the trimming for the very effective
skirt. This demi-train skirt was made
with four ruffies and the silk null, each
one finished with a null of real lace
and beaded with a bit of a tiuting of
pale blue silk.-Chicago Chronicle.

DUTIES OF RULE IN INDIA.
There Are Many Tasks for a Viceroy's
Tactful Wife.

Tactful Wife.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Edward Page CASTOR thus defines the
new duties of Lady CurZon, the wife of
the viceroy of India:
1T sometimes devolves upon the wife
of the Viceroy of India to give audienc e
to native maharajah alone, when ii IS

to pay him all the usual compliments
of the season. AS the ladies of the vice.
royalty generally makes it understood
that they can accept no gifts of value
from their subjects the exchange of to-
kens is confined to photographs.
One of the delicate duties of the lady
of the viceroyal mansion is to learn the
rules of management governing the ma
tive servants, for these have their
places as unalterably fixed by caste as
persons in higher stations. In the bed
chamber service there is not one or two
brisk chambermaids to do up a room as
in America. but the various items in
the almost trifiing work are divided
among seven or eight men servants
and this is the rule throughout an In
dian establishment. Lady CurZon's
body servant stands or sleers outside
the door to her room constantly, and
when she goes to drive alone another
attendant rides in the carriage with
her and at any time would give his life
for her protection"

somewhat ambiguous sentence in one
OF his famous Soldiers Three" stories,
which ran, "Orthers. being neither a
mental nor an American, had no excuse
for squealing," which Americans de-
manded an explanation of when Kip
ling landed here and which he declined
TO explain.
But who could be angry with such a
genius as Kipling? II wasn't in the ma
ture of things. So we read greedily the
love for hiking through the quiet lanes
of England. of his queer boyish habit
of sitting on the beach and amusing
himself for hours throwing stones at
tin cans of his three quaint little chill
dren who wandered in an old ia shioned
way, hand in hand along the sands and
conducted themselves as tae children of
a genius should. The world read de-
lightedly his poems and his stories and
demanded more and more, for they
were good things Of which it was not
possible to get too much.

A writer who can attract the atten-

what his particular style may be. This
was the clinching argument advanced
by admirers of Ruryard Kipling some
years ago, when the brilliancy oe the
the world was apprised that a new gem

Critics who swore only by authors of
other days were inclined 10 resent the
assertion of the Kipling admirers that
another Dickens had burst full Pledged

clever, but as for being the equal of
Dickens-it was absurd. Kipling was
very young man then with unlimited
confidence in himself, and he could af-
ford to ignore alike friendly and I'M
friendly criticism and go on turning
out stories and verses; stories that one
read, and re-read and read over again
and once more and yet again, and liked
the last time better than the first;
verses that went tripping along like the
pleasantest music. And the young
genius had not then reached the age CT
80.
Kipling was born in the Christmas
week of 1865 in Calcutta. There nave
been many absurd stories printed re-
garding his early youth. The truth is.
like most Anglo-Indian boys whose par
ents are fairly well to do he was sent
