A pretty saying of an army officer is reported by an exchange. He mar rled, in 1865. the daughter of man whose whole heart was in the cause of the southern negroes. The mar rtage has been very happy one Were you much interested in the slavery question when I knew you?' asked a college friend, who had not Seen the officer for thirty years.

TIL II YELLOU TTIRS,

| 1t has already gone nigh to being be-
lieved that little Agoncillo the "yellow
belly who represented Aguinaldo in
| Washington, is liar, and it will go
higher as the evidence accumulates. It
will be remembered that when Agoncillo
talked about the position taken by the
United States consuls at Manila and
Hong Kong he said: Each of these
gentlemen promised us that we should
have absolute independence as soon as
the islands were taken from Spain.
There was then no talk Of annexation to
the United States. The American con-
suls promised us independence. We re-
they are to be broken" There never
was any reason to suppose that Consul
Williams or Consul Wildman would so
far exceed their authority and commit
themselves to an entirely indefensible
policy as to make the promises attrib-
uted to them by Agoncillo. Consul WILL
liams has written letter concerning
this matter to his brother in Rochester,
New York, and the Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle publishes a part of it as
follows: L never saw Agoncillo, nor
made such promise to any Filipino.
On the contrary, when Aguinaldos
leaders applied to me at Hong Kong to
be allowed to return with me to Manila,
one of the provisions of the conditions
under which l agreed to give them such
aid as was able to was that they We're
to be subject at all times to the naval
and military authority of the United
States. This was agreed to before 1 al
lowed them to accompany me, April 81,
1898, to Mrs bay, where the fleet await
ed my coming. Admiral Dewey knows
all about the conditions which L i'm
posed, and complimented me on my
foresight and thoughtfulness.
The lies of the Filipino leaders have
made much trouble and caused many
wounds and deaths. If they escape
with whole skins they will have better
luck than they deserve and better luck
than many Of their deluded followers
have had.

WORTH KNOJYING.

A Cincinnati man has discovered
something worth knowing, and fortu-
nately his discovery is not to remain a
secret. All men who can read can share
in its benefits. The discovery was made
IN the trial of the divorce case of
krause VS.. Krause. Mr.. Krause set up
that his wife Katherine represented be-
fore she married him that she was
physically a sound woman. She wore
glasses and was thereby enabled to dis
guise her condition, and it was not for
more than a year, so skillfully did she
conceal the fact, that he became aware
that she wore a glass eye. When he
did find it out he sued for divorce
from her, on the ground that he didn't
get what he bargained for. He got
more than he bargained for when the
judge gave his decision, in which he
said that sit is not necessary for a wo-
man, during courtship to inform her in
tended husband of any device or attach
ment used to improve the work of ma
ture in the construction of her face,
form or figure. If glass eye, properly
concealed before marriage, be fraudu-
lent Misrepresentation and ground for
divorce, why are not false teeth, false
hair, or any other false article peculiar
to the fair sex also a ground for d.
vorce?"
OF course, of course. Woman is so
much the better half in marriage that
what little defects she may have con-
cealed before marriage are not worth
making fuss about afterwards. The
most imperfect woman is good enough
for the most perfect man.

CECIL. RHODES AND IMPERIAL


CECIL RHODES AND IMPERIAL
ISM.
In writing of the influence which Mr..
Cecil Rhodes has exerted on public opin-
ion in England in regard to the colonies,
I refrain from discussing those events
which have occurred during the past
few years in south Africa, and which are
so intimately associated with his name.
Whereas there may be two opinions as
to the vigorous policy adopted by the
Cape Parliament since Mr.. Rhodes be-
came a member Of that body, about six
teen years ago, there can be but one SEN
timent in regard to the effect which that
policy has had upon the masses of the
people In England. Ever since the trag-
edy of Majuba Hill in 1881, when Sir
George Colley was killed, and his small
body of English troops almost annihila-
ted by an overwhelming force of Beers,
there has existed a very sore feeling in
England in regard to the cowardly and
short sighted policy adopted by Mr..
Gladstone at that time, and every fresh
evidence of Mr.. Rhodes activity in Be-
chuanalaud, Mashonaland and Mata-
beleland has been hailed with delight by
a vast majority of Englishmen. But
climax was reached when news arrived
in England of the Jameson raid Of De-
cember 20, 1895. make no comment on
the raid or on the circumstances which
led up to it; my concern at present is

ever may have been the judgment of
wise heads on the affair, the people of
England went wild with enthusiasm
Night after night throughout the whole
land, the performances at the theaters
had to be interrupted in order that the
audiences might sing songs about the
raid, and scenes of indescribable excite
ment We're to be witnessed whenever a
handful of men got together. Finally,
when Mr.. Rhodes and Mr.. Jameson re-
turned to England, they were accorded
receptions, not officially, but by the peo-
pie, scarcely equalled by that given to
Lord Kitchener on his return from
Egypt after the battle of Omdurman.
The effect of all this was to enormously
stimulate the spirit of empire, and to
give the colonies much more promi-
nent place in the thoughts of the people
than had been accorded to them hither-

1NTI7O IN CHICAGO.

They are still enthusiastic in Chicago
about the efficacy of the treatment of
| diphtheria with antitoxin, and they
seem to have good basis for their en-
| thusiasm. Some facts and figures just
made public make comparisons between
the ten year period preceding the use
of antitoxin and the three succeeding
years, showing during the ten years a
total of 14175 deaths from diphtheria
and Group in Chicago, yearly average
of 1,417, and during the next three years
only 1852 deaths from like causes, a
yearly average of $751; Thus, without
regard to any change in population,
there have been absolutely 566 fewer
deaths from diphtheria and Group each
year of the last three years. than the
average number Of deaths from the
same diseases during the preceding ten
years--an actual, not comparative or
proportional, saving Of 1858 lives from
this class of diseases during the anti
toxin period. IF only the three years be-
fore and after the introduction Of anti
toxin be compared, the decline is still
more striking. In 1895 there were
4,505 deaths from diphtheria and Group;
in 1868 there were only 1852 such
deaths-a decline Of AZ per cent, or an
actual saving of 1858 lives in the last
three years as compared with the pre-
ceding three years. The great import
ance of making the injections in the
early stages of the disease is emphasiz-
ed. Between October 5, 1895, and Feb
ruary 2S, 1899, 1856 cases were treated on
the first day, and only one of these pa
TENTS died, a mortality percentage of
027; while of the LOIS treated on the
second day II died, per cent. 1.67; of
the 1909 treated on the third day, 81
died, per cent. SIT: of the 720 treated
on the fourth day, 50 died, per cent.
80: and of the 461 treated later. 119
died, per cent 25.37.
This is certainly an impressive show
ing Antitoxin has been a great boon
to Chicago.

bon the gown the artist puts here was
quite unusual. This, too, though such
ribbon has been stylish as trimming for
many months. On the skirt were two
waving lines and above the belt the
ribbon appeared on jacket fronts and
on the vest of white liberty satin. The
revers were white satin also, and with
the lace trimming below them fitted
out the bodice front in an unusual way
that was very pretty. A green and

for this dress.

It is noted in comments upon the
death of Baron Ferdinand de Roths-
child that the great Jewish house of
bankers is dwindling Says the Lon
don Chronicle: The founder, Mayer An
selnl, left at his death in 1912 five sons,
and Jewish families are proverbially
large, yet the progeny Of those five sons
to-day is far from numerous, either in
England or on the continent. The
founder Of the house had little to do
with England. 1t was his son Nathan
who came here in 1900, who laid the
foundation of the fortunes of the Eng
lish branch. Baron Nathan married a
Cohen, but his eldest son, Lionel, mar
ried a daughter of Baron Anselm
Rothschild, and his eldest daughter a
son of Baron Anselm. Lionel's son, the
present Lord Rothschild (who succeed
ed a sonless uncle in his baronetcy)
married his cousin, daughter of Baron
Charles of Frankfort, and both his sis
tiers also married cousins.
