There is a jolly mother in Brooklyn
who has several grown up sons board
ing at home with her, and they de-
clare she wants to "boss" them all the
time, Just as if they were children.
She laughingly repudiates their
charge, and declares that she merely
wishes to advise and guide them, but
has long ago ceased to rule them.
Here is an example of the way she
''guides" them;
At dinner the other night a big
meat pie and a small roast duck were
brought on together. The duck was
intended for the father, principally.
The boys were death on duck, their
mother we'll knew, but it would not
make a mouthful apiece for them, so,
addressing the boy who sat nearest
her, she said, (Which will you have,
Bobbie, duck or pie?" and at ono be-
gan cutting the pie,
"Duek!" said Bobbie promptly,
"No, Bobbie, answered his mother
~cheerfully. "You can't have duck,
dear. Take your choice, my son, take
your choice-but you can't have
duck!"-New York Tribune.

OF rain in the latter country is greater
than that in any other European conn

After Mr.. Kilroy had finished, George
Fred Williams was introduced amid ire
mendous applause. He said in part:
There is a vital distinction between the
two great parties in this country of ours.
There is a reason for every man who calls
himself a democrat which time will not
change. Alexander Hamilton was the de-
signer of a school of politics as strong to-
day as when he was at the head of the
party.
HE believed in a government made
strong through the creation of certain
classes which should have a strong part
in the government When you have
placed the land in the hands of parties
you must expect that laws will be made
for those parties. 1t is a strange fact that

RESOLVED TO CONQUER.
Cabinet VIII Use Last Dollar and Last rIan to
subdue philippines.

Washington, April 2S.--With a large
war department map before them the
members of the cabinet traced the po-
sittons of the American soldiers and
the Filipinos near Calumpit. Secretary
Alger pointed out what was intended
to be accomplished and the positions
and strength Of the opposing forces.
The secretary is rather hopeful that the
Filipinos will not be able to elude the
American forces this time.
He believes that if a large part of
Aguinaldo's army could be captured the
termination of the fighting might be
near A cabinet officer stated this af-
ternoon that the cabinet had at no time
discussed the subject of the future dis
position of the Philippines. 1T is the
present we are thinking of, he said,
'and there is not the slightest inten-
ton of deviating from the present pro-
gram. l believe 1t is the unanimous
feeling of the cabinet that nothing shall
be decided as to the future status of the
islands until we have placed them sa-
tisfactorily under the control of the
Unied States"
He said that every dollar and every
man necessary to bring the islands I'M
der the domination of this country
would be used. When the insurgents
have recognized the power of the Uni
ted States the question of their future
status will be taken up and discussed.

SCHOOL IN A PANIC.
Boiler at Freeland Street
House Threatens an
Explosion.

There was a miniature panic at the
Freeland street grammar school about
noon yesterday, when an overheated
boiler gave promise of heavy explo-
sion.
The principal Of the grammer school
ordered the pupils from the building
until it could be ascertained how seri-
Gus the threatened danger might be.
The ianitor of the school house, Geo.
A. Gregson, has been away for a few
days, and in his absence his father has
been in charge. With the change, ev-
erything had gone along smoothly UNI
til yesterday, when the boiler was
found to be without water
News of this serious condition of
affairs soon spread, and Miss Jennie L.
Dearborn, the principal of the school,
thinking at once of the terrible respon-
sibility for the young lives in her
charge, ordered the pupils out OF the
place. So imminent seemed the pos
sible explosion, that the teacher herselI
did not dare to risk an attempt to re-
turn to the building for her hat. There
are eight grades in the school, Whlcn
is crowded to its full capacity, and
never before was the necessity OF the
fire drill so thoroughly realized as al
this time.
Before the afternoon session was
opened, the proper authorities had been
notified and the trouble was obviated
by thorough inspection of the boiler
and the placing of the building under
expert charge.
