On charity's Side.

Charley Newman, after reading the
communication in The Daily Ch.sf-
tain regarding the relief union rer
Gently organized in Vinita, said to a
reporter;aonI wish the ladies who
compose the soliciting committee for
the destitute to understand'that they
can get a weekly subscription from
me, In proportion to my ability TO
give. I think the present organizas
tion for the relief Of distress the best
movement ever started in Vinita, and,
the ladies and gentlemen. who insti-
gated it deserve much praise. 1t
1t should and will grow into a strong
organization, and ought to be ,pefpetr

VIII Work No Injury.

Prof. Morrison said yesterday that
when the public schools were estabs
lished the private ones-like the acadS
emy and the college-musf simply
take higher ground in the scale of ex-
cellence-and charge .proportionally
for tuition. This is the proper view
and it is more than likely institutions
of the kind named will thereafter
yield a fair return for the labor ex-
pended in conducting them-which
can hardly be said Of them at this
time, tis

Military Operations Against

Now Planned.

MANILA, June 19.-The United Statea
transport Sherman, which sailed from
San Francisco May "A with 1900 men
and IS officers under command of Brig
adler General Fred D. Grant. has ar-
rived here after q smooth voyage. The
troops brought by the transport will 90
to the island of Negros' to relieve the
California troops. General Bates, who
arrived ON the transport, and General
Grant will probably be assigned to the
commands of the volunteer generals,
some of whom will leave for home soon.
Generals Hale and Funston desire to
accompany their regiments home. The
Utah artillery, it is announced, will ao-
company the Nebraska troops on board
tho transport Hancock, leaving their
guns here. The Pennsylvanians will
start for home on the transport Senator
this week. The Indiana sailed during
the day with 500 discharged and sick
soldiers. She will go into dock for a
few days at Nagasaki, Japan.
Military operations against the IN
surgents in the south have apparently
been planned. General Wheaton at
linus is sending accommodating parties
to locate the enemy and other recon
noisances are being made from Cavite.

Religious Argument Used 70 Ianssnss
the German Ruler.
LONDON, June 19.-The correspond
ent of The Daily News at The Hague
says: DR.. Zorn, whom Emperor Will
lam summoned on Friday by . special
message, arrived in Berlin Saturday
morning, accompanied by Mr.. Hollis Of
the United States delegation. They
only had time for breakfast and Ut 10 q.
m. were driven to the emperor's palace,
whore instant admission was granted
them by the kaiser himself, who was
awaiting them. They had further
audience with his majesty Sunday.
IfEmperor William refuses any sort
of tribunal the conference will prob.
ably 90 on without him, but his openly
hostile attitude would arouse protests
in Germany and Mr.. Hollis has probably
taken the liberty Of pointing out the
deplorable effect this would have in the
civilized world. The emperor is amen.
able to the religious argument, and
perhaps this will be the lever that will
move him. At any rate, If the worst
comes to the worst, the conference will
invite him to sign the convention with
a reservation about the tribunal, pledg-
ing himself only to use tho peace con-
ference procedure in an eventual arbi-
tration.

Odd Finds In Pictures.

The discovery in On old junkshop In
Paris of an original painting Of Raphael's,
which was bought for the 80 called price
of song and sold for 10000, brings to
mind the account Of similar find made
in this country some years ago.
An artist who was wandering about the
towns and villages Of the southern states
in search Of subjects for his brush came
upon a tavern where he saw picture
that excited his interest because Of Its
ooloring and general resemblance to
Titian's oanvases.
The proprietor Of the tavern was glad
to exchange the dark stained picture for
a freshly painted rural scene Of gay life
and movement. The artist treasured his
find, and, convinced that it WAS an orig
inal Titan, refused to part with It. Tho
subject OF tile painting represents Cleo
patra applying the asp.
