A sagacious Pig.
iladelnhia Record.l


Pigs that have amazed vast crowds at
the circus by their performances are not
to be mentioned in the same breath with
a young porker, the following account of
which has been sent to the Record by
person who has heretofore been consider
ed thoroughly reliable and truthful:
.'One of the big drays going down Tenth
street on Thursday, having 10 stop at the
corner of Carpenter street. the boys who
were utilizing the rear end for rides were
surprised and delighted to see pig try
to scramble up beside them. Kindly
hands helped him. and he sat content
among the free riders until small street
below Morris was reached. when he in
timated by grunts and scramblfng that
he wanted to get off the dray. lie was
assisted to the street, and Immediately
made his way to a doorstep, where he
was at home, as he was soon admitted
into the house.
He is a pet pig owned 10y dermatolo-
gist. who is making experiments on him
with newly invented hair tonics. Every
few days piggy appears on the doorstep
with bristles of a different color. and It
is said his hair really begins to curl owing
to the application of castor oil and quiz
nine Recently, having been treated with
peroxide of hydrogen, he has been most
beautiful gold color. Piggy is bathed
every day, has his teeth brushed with lis
terine. and sits on the front steps with
the children, occasionally strolling a
square or two with them. The fact that
he knew his way home and preferred to
ride there has made him quite hero in
the neighborhood.

SEEING HIS NAME IN PRINT.
But His Little Ruse Didn't Result In

AGREES WITH DEWEY.
Schurmen Says the Fi1ipinos Are
Able and Intelligent.


New York, Sept. 12.-The World
prints an interview with Jacob G.
Sehurman, president of the Philippine
commission. Mr.. Schurman said Ad-
miral Dewey's statement that there
was no difference of opinion between
himself and the admiral was correct.
No question" said Mr. Schurman,
'sever came up at a meeting of the
committee on which the. admiral and
myself were not in thorough accord"
Concerning the relative capabilities
of the Filipinos and Cubans to govern
themselves, Mr. Schurnan said:
That is a personal opinion of ADJ
fl1iral Dewey. AS to the proper meth
cd of governing the Filipinos, that is
matter upon which 1 reported to the
president and | cannot discuss. |
quite agree with Admiral Dewey, how
ever, that the intelligence exhibited by
the Filipinos is often surprising. The
great mass of the people are, of course,
ignorant, but you cannot go into any
city in the islands without finding a
sprinkling of able, Intelligent and well
educated men, and in Manila this num-
Der is considerable. Many of these men
have been educated in European uni
versities.
1T can recall at the moment doctors,
lawyers and business men among the
Filipinos as highly educated as any
have met anywhere in the. world. l.
share Admiral Dewey'5 sympathy for
the Filipinos, but 1 consider it a great
pity that they do not recognize that
the best thing for them would be to
acknowledge American sivereignty.
That would be the best thing for them
in every way, for, if we were to leave
the Philippines, England, France, Rus
STA, Germany and italy would all want
to share in the government of the
islands. There are not many among
those nations that would pay much at
tention to democratic ideas"

TROUBLE FOR cALLIsTER.
He and Lieutenant Naylor Want the
Same Office.

Two bodies cannot occupy the same
space at the same time. Councilman E.
H. Callister and Ray c. Naylor can
not both get the Republican nominal
ton for recorder, hence there is fric-
ton. Callister is determined to nomi-
nate Ray for treasurer or auditor or
any old thing except recorder and the
reason that at last one of Callister's
friends urge against the returned vol
unteer is that no one ever knew until
now that he was a Republican; his
relatives are nearly all Democrats, it
is claimed. Put none but tried and
true Hanna men on guard is their rule.
On the other hand Naylor does not
propose to be sidetracked by any other
candidate. He wants it distinctly I'M
derstood that he is a candidate for re-
corder and for nothing else He is in
for fight to a finish and the friends
who are backing him assert that he has

SEARCH FOR A CANDIDATE.
Followers of Hanna Are Still In a
Quandary

Quandary.
1t must amuse the gods of war to
hear the Hannaites discuss the situa-
ton these days as to candidate for
mayor. Buckle won't do because he is
a Mormon says one. "Pshaw, said a
leader yesterday, Buckles candidacy
is preposterous. The city offices are all
filed with Mormons now Do you sup
pose we want it unanimous? NO, you
can bet the Republicans will nominate
an out-and-out Gentle for mayor.
John E. Dooly was ruled out OF the
question because in the last national
campaign, it is alleged, he was o. most
rabid goldbug and is still obnoxious
to the former silver Republicans that
have got back into the fold.
NJ. H. Walker and w. A. Nelden are
ruled out because they were mixed up
in that injunction case and the work
ingmen are laying for them.
This man is ruled out because he is
of the Brown faction; that one because
he's of the Lannan faction: this one is
for silver; that one is for gold; this
one is for Pratt; that one is against
him; this one bolted two years ago;
that one bolted three years ago. When
they do find the right pedigree and a
straight record they find that the man
is dead and gone to be an angel and
then the hunt commences over again.
1t was announced yesterday that a
desperate effort would be made to force
the nomination upon John w. Donnel-
Ian and many look for some such
break as this to be made. One of the
leaders of the party put the situation
this way: The men we can get we
don't want; and the men we want we
can't get
Those who are working to clear away
the debris and build a new organiza-

defeat is certain, they can use his pop
ularity and strength in building up the
party.
