land to Visit His Son.
New York, March 30.-If Rudyard Kip
ling lives 10 be about sixty-five years old,
grows beard, and accumuiates about 100
pounds more of avoirdupois he will prob
ably look very much like an old gentleman
who arrived here yesterday on the White
Star steamer Majestic.
The old gentleman is J. l.. KipIing,
father of the distinguished novelist.
Mr.. kipiing was anxious on the voyage
across, as he did not know in what con-
dition he would find his son, but at Quar-
aDtine a telegram was given to him reas-
suring him.
Mr.. Kipling lived many years in India.
He said. with much earnestness:
Il live in a little country village now,
but / want TO say that we, the plain
people of England, are watching with the
most intense interest-even more than you
are, perhaps-eyery move that the Unit
ed States is making in the Philippines
We understand what it means. and we
know that if the surplus of American
products is directed toward the Far East
il will be better for us. We want the
United States TO hold the colonies and open
| them up to the business of the world"
From the steamer Mr.. Kipling went to
the home of Lockwood ID. De Forest, at
No, East Tenth Street and at $50 o'clock
! went up to the Hotel Grenoble, where he
saw his son for half an hour. The doc
tors did not think longer visit advisable.

BY the present conflict, which is going
on in the Philippines, the predictions made
last year are fulfilled. 1t is now common
ly understood that China is either to be
cOerced under the threat of war to divide
her empire among the nations; or, if she
does not submit to the threat of war, war
Will be declared upon her and the empire,
or a large part of il. be divided up among
the nations In this conflict the United
States will be a party. The Secretary of
State, Mr.. Hay, has within the past few
days given instructions to our Minister 10
China to be watchful and demand from
the government there the same conces-
sons which il may give to any other coun-
try. This demand is made in view of the
demand made by Italy for large part of
the territory of China to be ceded to it,
So You see. We shall be in the midst of the
Asiatic conflict, should one occur"

ready to assume control of the
War Department at IL o'clock to-
morrow. Gen. Alger viii leave at

ocrat special.
Mr.. Alger departed and Mr..
Root arrived and took charge, as
scheduled in the above. By select
ing Elihu Root as secretary OF war
Mckinley has again shown his ut
ter subservieucy to trust influences,
Root is the attorney who shaped
the charter of Greater New York
in favor of the Metropolitan Rail-
way interests, which practically
control the streets of Manhattan.
He represented at Albany the
$25, 100000 Astoria Gas Compa-
ny's franchise grab. In both in
stances it was the money and lns
fuence of the Standard Oil Com
pany in two of its numerous guis-

REV. G.. II. GALLOWAY.

Never, in the recollection of
the writer, with the exception Of
the lamented j. V. Penn, has
Pearllngton had a pastor who has
taken as much Interest-actlve
interest-in the welfare of the
community as the subject Of this
sketch. By dint Of pluck and
perseverance he has accomplish
ed-has gained for Pennington
one of the greatest advantages
| that the community has ever pos
sessed-a suitable school building.
Trne he has not been unaided in
this. Those estimable gentlemen
who compose the board of trus-
tees, deserve ample credit for
their Jealous support and hearty
cooperation in the matter. But
it was Brother Galloway who fOs-
tered the plan; it was he who in
stigated the movement, and it IS
to him a full share of credit must
be given for the lively interest he
has evinced in his people. 1t IS
the sincere wishes of THE HERALD
that our good friend, Bro. Gallo
way, may be spared to teach the
people of Pearlington to walk in
the steps of the Creator for many,
many long years yet, and when at
last his work on earth is dCne and
he has gone to his Great Reward;
may he hear that Voice on the
other shore saying, "Well done
thou good and faithful servant,
enter in Ny name"

GEN. OTIS A FAILURE.

A special to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat from San Fran
cisco reports the arrival of the
Nebraska Re giment from the Phil
ippines. Numerous are the express
sions made by the returning sol
diers anent Gen.Oits' incompetent
cy. Albert Lemp, Co. X, says:
GAS General, Otis is an unqual-
flied failure. Even the Filliplnos
laugh at his incompetency. Om
soldiers in the PHILIPPINES have
been hindered more by Gen. Otis
than by the insurgeDt army
Private Joe Brown, Co. A, says:
"Gen. Otis is both a fool and q
grafter.''
These expressions are supple
mented by many others, all Of ST.
milar nature. The returning vol
unteers will continue their sad
tales of treatment. They are
unanimous in condemning Gen.
Otis management of the cam
paign and are almost in unanl-
nous in opposition to the reten,
tion of the islands. Gen. Otis
now being unable TO conquer the
FiliDinos, now calls them bandits
and robbers in his dispatches
This peculiarly effective Spanish
method of disposing of ones enc
mics is TO be used to cloak any
outrages which may be perpetrat-
ed against the unfortunate island
ers. On Negors island company
of American soldiers surrounded
village of hostiles in the night
and began an lndlScrlmlnate
slaughter of men, women and chill
dren. Some over three hundred
were killed and wounded. The
fact that women and children
were shot down was suppressed
by the censor, but ii is known to
be a fact.

From Cradle to Grave.

The business mans life is full
of crosses and temptations. He
comes into this world without his
consent, goes out against his will
and the trip between the two ex-
tremities IS exceedingly rocky.
The rule OF c0ntratriness Is one
of the important features Of the
trip. When he is little the big
girls kiss him and when he is big
the little girls kiss. If he raises a
large family he is a chump, but if
he raises a small check he is a
thief and fraud and is Stunned
Ike Chinaman with the seven
year itch. If he is poor he Is a
bad manager: if rich he's dishonest
If he's in politics it's for pie: if
out of politics you can't tell where
to place him and he's no good to
his country. If he doesn't give to
charity he's stingy cuss; if he
dies young there was great fu-
tare for him; if he lives to an old
age Ire is failure. If he never
aaarries folks says he's woman
hater; if he does they say he's a
fool; if he joins the church he is
looked upon as hypocrite; if he
doesn't he's a heather. He is in
troduced into this world by a
doctor and to the next by the same
process. The road is rock, but a
man likes to travel it.-Macon
