HIRED GIRLS PROGRESS.
Fable Showing Wisdom of Silence
Concerning Some Things.

Fable Showing Wisdom of Silence
Concerning Some Things.
Once upon time there came into the
city from the country a girl. The girl
wandered from her happy home to Sc
families Of the city, and when she
made known the fact that she was
willing to work many persons sought
her and implored her to engage with
them in domestic pursuits. The girl
was overwhelmed with offers, but final
ly made a selection and settled in q
family that valued her services very
highly. The girl was happy until one
day her employer met neighbor, a
very dear friend, and told her Of her
good fortune in finding the country
girl. And this neighbor met another
very dear friend and told her Of her
other friends good luck, and thus did
1t become generally known that there
was a good "hired girl" In the neigh
borhood.
And from that time on the mistress
and the girl were unhappy until one
day the very dear friend gave the girl
$1.5O more a week than she was earn
ing in her first place. and in this man.
ner did the girl become happy again.
while her mistress and the very dear
friend ceased to be on speaking terms
And then the girl became unhappy
again until the other very dear friend
engaged her at an advance Of 81, and
the other dear friend and the first dear
friend ceased to talk over the back
fence. And then the good girl wore
fine dresses and fine hats, and one day
dashing young man led her to the
altar, and now the three friends and
the poor country girl are all very
happy.

Wu was asked If he knew anything
of General Tung Flu Slang. He said he
was a general and an insurgent. He
said he believed Tung was in Peking.
He hoped the news was not true, but
said that Ching was director of tele-
graphs and ought to know what he was
talking about.

CABLE MONOPOLY ARGUMENTS

CABLE MONOPOLY ARGUMENTS
The Insular Committee Of the House
will listen 10 the arguments Of the rep
resentatives OF the Commercial Cable
Co. and The Western Union Telegraph
Co. upon the Foraker Amendment.
At a meeting Of the committee ten
days ago the representatives OF the
Commercial Cable Co. who wish the
right 10 land a cable in Cuba, submitted
the following propositions.
"First--The Commercial Gable Co. OF
Cuba, claims that the grant to the West
ern Union Co., was obtained by false
and fraudulent representations, which
appear on the face Of the grant itself.
"Second-We claim that the grant ex-
pired in 1880.
"Third--We claim that the grant was
not an exclusive one2
"Fourth-We deny that there was
any legal condonation Of the fraud or
any confirmation Of the grant, or that
there was any consideration for the
same, or that the condonation applies 10
public grant like this.
"Fifth-We deny that this alleged
monopoly is property right protected
by the treaty OF peace.
"Sixth-We claim that neither Cuba
or the United States Is bound by u
Spanish monopoly Of cable business to
the United States, and that the rule Of
public policy as laid down by President
Grant relative TO cable monopolies ap'
ply TO this Cuban cable.
"Seventh-We claim that this coun-
try, as trustee for Cuba, and rs de facto
sovereign, should put an end TO this
monopoly, as II put an end 10 the
slaughter-house monopoly and the Span
ish bank monopoly.
"Eghth--We are willing that any
permit TO us shall be subject 10 modif-
cation or repeal at any time by this gov
ernment or any future government OF
Cuba.
II is expected that the representatives,
OF the Western Union Tel, Co. will
reply today.

Out yonder in the Philippines, Il .
Roman Catholic church had some mis-
understanding with the natives about
certain property, and an archbishop
with somewhat unpronounceable name
has been sent out there to straighten out
the kings. Barring accidents, such as
the Tagals (who don't like the church)
getting hold Of him, he will probably be
successful. The Roman Catholic church
never seems TO have had much trouble
in finding men Of ability to compass sea
and land TO accomplish Its mission. In
the early history of this continent, the
Jesuit priest was found side by side, IL
not in advance, Of the Hudson Bay
trader, sharing cheerfully in all the
hardships Of that time. Only too often
they were burned at the stake by the
Indians, who were sometimes unappre-
ciative of the efforts in their behalf, and
who thought priests scalp just as good
a. any other white mans. The failures
which the church hRs met with here
and there would probably be much
more deeply deplored II il was not for a
deeply rooted idea that, mot content with
having achieved spiritual welfare, it
rather insists on having hand in the
political welfare as well, and there are u
few things which Il mau likes to atteud

respected and feared on sea and land in
