Mr.. Ballentine,s Resignation.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: As many others who have tried
IT very well know, II is almost impos-
ible to get a true statement of u case cor
rectly reported unless II Is given in ones
own carefully considered and well chosen
words.
For instance: On Monday last the
statement went out that the trouble at
the Church of the Good Shepherd had
been amicably and satisfactorily settled
to all parties concerned. This statement
was correct. If It had stopped there IL
would have been admirable in every re-
spect. But it did not stop there. 1t
went further. 1t intimated that the
rector had sent in his resignation before
the standing committee had got through
considering the case. 1t allowed enc TO
infer that the standing committee con-
cluded its deliberations on the matter
because Of such precipitate action on the
rector's part although he himself had
asked that the matter be left to the de-
cision of the standing committee.
The fact of the matter Is really this:
The standing committee had not only
finished its consideration of the subject.
It's members had given their counsel and
advice to the bishop. They had left the
bishop to act in the matter. The rector
was waiting such action. But it did not
come. on the contrary he was APP
preached by a mutual friend who in
formed him the bishop did not care 10
act before another attempt had been
made to compromise the matter. After
an hour or twos conversation on the
subject, and in the same spirit of con-
ciliation In which he had again been APP
preached, the rector of the Good ShCp-
herd expressed his entire Willingness to
terminate his relations with the parish
on the sole condition that his main no.
sition he acceded to by the bishop and
the vestry, that Is, that he be allowed
to begin work as a minister of the Epis-
copal church near the Country club and
support himself by his own individual
efforts. He felt he must do this in the
first place, because 1t was in line with
his own natural and normal develop
mcnt, in the second place. because il was
the only course he could take and remain
| Independent of powerful influences that
must otherwise stultify his own mental
| and moral and spiritual growth.

How Would You
Buy a Piano ?

It costs lots of money TO cart pianos
about and leave them for months on
trial There are hundreds Of pianos OUT
ON TRIAL in this vicinity which will
never be purchased. The only way the
dealer can come out whole on such Il
plan IS 10 ask enormous prices for in
fcrior pianos. The party who buys the
piano pays all this needless expense.
Perry Bros. take no pianos out on trial
They add no expense to the instrument
in any way. This is the reason they can
sell an elegant Ludwig Piano for $500 at
s2j cash and the balance in two years
It's uphill work to convince all that our
plan Is Tho best all around but there are
some who understand and save from $50
10 $50 on an instrument.

AGUINALDO.
Notes on the Filipino Prodigy by tn,
Mainland Papers.

In this age of prodigies, Aguinaldo
manages to mOnopolize recognition in
the boy-general Washington
Star.
Possibly Aguinaldo feels sighted be-
cause he failed to receive a copy of the
cars peace proposal.-Washingto
Star.
Aguinaldo wants liberty, but he also
wants his own particular brand.-Indi-
annapolis News.
Aguinaldo is very frisky now, but
wait until Hobson arrives in Manila
Burlington Hawkeye.
AS there are 122 dialects spoken in
the Philippine archipelago, Aguinaldo's
government will be as hard to build
as the tower of Babel.-Salt Lake Her
aid.
Aguinaldo was so impressed by the
fact that the eyes of a nation were up
on him that he overlooked the circum-
stance that the nation contains a large
number of excellent gunners.-Wash-
ington Star.
Aguinaldo is rapidly reaching the
conclusion that patriotism and several
hundred per cent may be made to go
hand in hand by a crafty OPERATOR
Washington Star.
1t would be kinder to Aguinaldo to
settle the status of the Philippines
promptly and give him an opportunity
to settle down to steady employment.
Washington Star
Aguinaldo is no doubt pointing with
pride to the fact that his government
is big enough to enable ENJOYS to take
trip and see little of the world at
it's Washington Star.
Aguinaldo is lucky in dealing with a
government of pious and philanthropic
ideals. He deserves nothing better
than to be given back to Spain.-Wash-
ington Star.

STUFF!

We all like our meals hot.
Nothing lukewarm will do.
Nothing half baked done to a
turn" is the right thing. That's
the way we serve our clothing.
Each garment is hot from the
brain of the man who knows
how to design it.
My! How the men and boys
smack their lips over our line of
clothing.
AND THE PRICES ARE JUST
RIGHT.
CHEER UPON CHEER FOL-
LOWS.
The announcement of our
special sale of neckwear, hand
kerchiefs, Collars and Cuffs.

SPAIN.
Bright Scintillations From the Main
land Press.

Spain seems content to worry along
without a war investigation.-New
York Press.
Spanish prisoners in the Philippines
who are liberated by the United States
should have some difficulty in precisely
locating their patriotic sentiments
Washington Star.
Spain may be forgiven in a few years
but it will be a long time before the
various members of the United States
army and navy get on friendly terms,
Washington Star.
1t is going rather too far to hint chat
Spain allowed herself to be defeated
in the Philippines so as to indulge in
the joyous satisfaction of seeing chem
get this government into trouble.
Washington Star
SPANS troops are said to be starv-
ing. What Spain needs is another war
with some good, kind country that will
capture her soldiers and feed them all
back into ondition.-Pittsburg Dis
patch.
Spain threatens to recognize the In
dependence of the Filipinos. 1t was
unrecognizable during the long period
of Spanish control.-Salt Lake Herald.

 Judgment for $633,65.

The case of the White Sewing Machine Go, against H. w. Cope land and his bondsmen was con- cIuded late Monday evening. The jury returned a verdict for the amount for which plaintiff sued s633. .65.
 The suit was tried upon counter claims which defend ant alleged to be due him. The plaintiff denied all the counter claims by response thereto, which was filed at the com mencement 0. the trial Monday.
 The reason of the suit seems to be, as alleged h the complaint, either a misrepresentation or failure on the part of the defendant to return amounts to the White Sewing Machine Co.,, as it was claimed be should have done, he being their agent.

The City Council to Pay the Hook

Last night at the meeting of the city council amid their many other labors they did not fail to give the complaint of the Merrill Hook and Ladder Go. recognition.
 Alderman Theo Wollerman moved that the council continue to allow $60.00 per month to tLe Hook and Ladder Co.,, but that the foreman of the company make monthly re- ports to the council, showing the number of fires attended and names of members who were in attendance at each fire. The motion was sec. onded by Alderman Langford and carried.
 The council has done the right thing. The boys will continue in the future as ia the past. to do the right thing at the right time to the satisfaction of every citizen; this has characterized the boys in the past. We trust they will pursue their economic and gentlemanly methods.
