s1efght of Hand In Church.

Many years ago. when Joseph Mars
den lived in Hawaii, he attended church
en- Sunday morning III Hilo. Mr.. Mars
den was then noted for his skill in leg
erdemain. When Dr. passed around
the contribution bag at a Sunday serv-
ice, Mr.. Marsden held up a SO gold
piece between his thumb and forefnger
so that DR.. - could plainly see it.
He then placed his hand ever the bag,
palmed the goldpiece and dropped in a
silver quarter. DR.. - returned to the
table with his collection. After the
service he emptied the bag on table,
but could not find the $40 goldpiece.
He shook the bag repeatedly, turned
over the small pile of contributions, got
down on the floor and looked under the
table, walked down the aisle, looking
closely at the cracks III the floor, felt in
his own pockets, fearing that he had
made some mistake, and then went
home wondering at the strange loss of
the goldpiece. Some time afterward the
deceiver quietly sent the goldpiece to
the church.-Pacific Commercial Ad-

Immediately after the close of hostili
ties with Spain are likely to be re-
peated. or at least there is danger of
such a calamity at this time 1t is
stated that an unusual number OF ap-
plications for franchises in the Philip
pines are being received by the secre-
tary of war. 1t appears that none
have been granted, and the ideas of
congress on this subject, as shown by
paragraph in the army bill, will
probably prevent any action upon any
applications. Several army officers
now serving under Gen. Otis are anX-
ious to secure concessions which in
yestigation has shown will prove veri-
table gold mines. One officer has
made application for permission to
construct a railroad from one end of
the island of LuZon to the other.
Franchises for electric street railways
in Manila, the erection of electric light
plants. water works and other public
improvements have been asked for.
These applications come from volun-
teer officers who Will soon leave the
service, and expect to return to the
Philippines and engage in industrial
enterprises. 1t NAV be that these ap-
plications should be considered. and
that these men are the very men to
take hold of this work. But the war
department is not the proper author
ity to decide. Local governments
alone must pass upon such questions.
An official of the agricultural depart
ment says the Philippines are rich in
gold and iron, and immense fortunes
await Industrious Americans. While
no applications have as yet been made
for the specific purpose OF engaging
in mining, several have been made for
grants of large tracts OF land which
are supposed to contain gold. But
these applications also must be passed
upon by local authorities. 1t is said
by administration people that no fran
chises will be granted in the Philip
pines for some time to come, and it is
doubtful if anything in this direction
will be done until congress meets.
Nothing whatever must be done in
this line by the authorities at Wash
ington. These matters should be left
to the local governments of the sew
eral territories and municipalities as
they are left to the states and cities i'll
the United States. Any other course
will not only be resented by the in
habitants of the Philippines, but VIII
be promptly and effectually repudi-
ated by the people of the United
States
But we shall see how far the Jour
nails ideas are in harmony with those
of the administration. What in the
world did our friend Mark insist upon
taking the Philippines for if it was
not for what there is in them? Does
any one suppose that Mark is in
the assimilation" business for his
health?

IN his speech at Galesburg. last
night, where he was received by Con-
gresham Prince and other prominent
citizens, as well as large Outpouring
of people generally on passing through
enroute from New Mexico to Milwau-
kee, Col. Roosevelt spoke OF the duty
of American people to hold up the
hands of President Mckinley just as
they would Lincoln or Grant until the
war in the Philippines is over, and dis
pose of the other questions afterward.
In the same connection the Rough
Rider colonel asked what Lincoln or
Grant would do if placed in President
McKinley's position. The suggestion
with reference to the duty of the
American people toward the presi-
dent, regardless of politics. is superfiu-
Gus. To man, the citizens of the
republic desire to see the war in the
Philippines put down, and put down
with honor to the United States. The
question is not as to the policy of end
ing the present war. which. if any
thing, the president is criticised for
not being vigorous enough in. but
there is no law of patriotism or na-
tional policy that dictates the uphold

pursuing course at variance
with the spirit of American prin-
ciples and the principles upon
which the republic was founded.
The issue is not as to how we
should get out of such a war. but
as to why we should have gotten
into it, and what we ought to do
when we do get out. While we are
fighting there is but one thing to do,
and that is to iight-if it takes all
summer. And in this is contained
the answer to Col. RoOsevelt's query
with reference to what Lincoln or
Grant would do under similar circum-
stances. Men who loved peace as
the statesman and soldier of the civil
war did. would not have bought n
war for $40, 900, 900 of the peoples s
money, and neither would have
Withdrawn or let up on the fight for
an instant while there was an enemy
in the field. And the American peo-
pie of today would not be engaged in
an unholy war of uncertain duration

had n Lincoln in the White House or a
Grant in the field.

THREE NEW BUGS APPEAR.
Strange Variety of Insects Bothering the
Human Race.

Strange Variety of Insects Bothering the
Human Race.
Three new kinds of bugs have put
in their appearance in this country
this year, and each is giving all kinds
of trouble to the farmers and the gen
eral public. They are the new wheat
bug. which is bothering the farmers
of Illinois; the new potato bug, which
is playing havoc with the potatoes all
over this section of the country, and
mysterious little pest, which has
taken Hpits station in Washington,
Tazewell county, and is biting the
people of that place in a most alarm
inc manner.
The wheat bug is destroying many
acres of grain The bug is about an
inch long and is very much like the
currant bOrer. The body is greenish
brown and the head light yellow.
stalk near the first joint and then
crawls up inside the stalk, sucking
the milk from the plant and leaving
the heads hollow and nothing but
chafT, though apparently plump and
rnanded out. University professors
are at n loss to know how to stop the
rayages of the insect 1t has been
dubbed the Filipino guerrilla.
But the most mysterious and most
unaccountable of ar the new creations
in the insect world is the thing which
has put in its appearance in Washing
ton. Its appearance has caused a
regular bug sensation. The little
creature is fastidious and mysterious,
coming and going so quickly that no
man wots who and what he is.
But the effects of his visits are seen
in the swollen lips and cheeks of
persons who called for treatment at
the emergency hospital and goodness
knows how many others who received
treatment from private practitioners.
The bug is no respecter of personsi he
merely confines his efforts to the lips
and cheeks of people. white or black.
He has been named the lip bug.
In view of the activity Of the in
sect, swollen faces, accompanied by
tainted breaths, is now accepted in
the police court as evidence of good
character.

There is still another way of Guilt

minute oysters, so small that 5000 of
them in the shell fill a barrel These
are brought to the waters Of San Fran
cisco bay and are planted in the
grounds, which are prepared at great
expense, and tightly enclosed with pal
ing in order to keep out the stingarees.
Within two to three years these oysters
grow so rapidly that instead of count
Ing 5000 to the barrel, $50 of them fill
it. The same small oysters, not larger
than the smallest pea. could be brought
to these Islands and placed in the pre-
pared oyster ponds. But this is not
necessary. With proper protection,

LONDON, Nov. "A movement is

les to promote a boycott Or hostile
demonstration against Cardinal Glib
bons if he accepts Cardinal Vaughan :
invitation to attend the opening Of the
new Westminster Cathedral next
year. The Times gives prominence tc
a letter signed by a British Catholic
in which William II. H. Lecky, the his
torian, is quoted as having denounced
Cardinal Gibbons for his eulogistic
biography of the late John Boyle o.

This is cited as a ground for Eng

Cardinal Gibbons that hearty well
come which Cardinal Vaughan has be-
spoken for him. O'Reilly's conduct in
accepting service in the English Hus
sars to seduce the Queens soldiers
from their allegiance, Lecky declares,
was IAN act OF aggravated treachery
and perjury" for which Cardinal Glib
