SECRETARY CAGES BLUNDER.
EveD sL- Republican Press IL Up In
Arl.- over His Financial
Policy.

There can no longer be any doubt OF
the fact that Mr. Gage has irreparably
damaged the administration of which
he is part by his action in designat-
ing the National City bank OF New
York az the general depository for rev.
enue collections.
The severity OF the blow which he
has struck is best shown by the man
ner in which leading republican news
papers have received it. The Chicago
Tribune characterizes il as foolish"
and says;
"A policy OF governmental interference
In financial affairs for the benefit OF
stock market spectators Is not viewed
with favor by the public. II prefers that
the govern ment should remain neutral.
This preference Is shared by the Tribune.
Ii believes Il neither right nor expedient
for the government 10 attempt 10 bolster
up a sagging stock market by exhibiting
gross fayorit'sm 10 a particular bank
II is too big contract. The government
may be harmed more than the stock mar
ket Is helped"
The Journal, of the same city, saws
Mr.. Gage has done the administration
more harm than any Of its enemies,
and tie Inter Ocean follows:
SHOULD Mr. Gage resolve to Quit the
cabinet and the service OF a people which
good-humoredly but firmly declines e
regard him as a financial genius, no one
outside the diminishing mugwump coteri'
would lament his departure. the repub

A MISSIONARY HEN.
She Was brought from koo-hoo,
China, and She Laid Eggs for
the Henthcn.

Some ten years ago Capt. j. Clifford
Entwisle. now city clerk of Salem.
then master Of New York yessel sail
ing to China and Japan. brought home
from China little hen. lie named the
bird koo-koo. for the town whence
she came. He presented the hen 70 his
wife. and the bird gradually became a
pet of the house. She would lay her
eggs in the house.
Capt. and Mrs Entwisle were in
teresied in church and missionary
work. 50 Mrs. Entwisie conceived the
idea of devoting the proceeds of the
eggs and chickens OF kookoo 10 the
missionary cause. and for the seven
wears little koo-Koo lived all her
earnings went 10 convert Chinese
heathens. and good many collars went
that way. The hen became az much of
a pet as a cat or dog. She would lay
her egg and then go into the kitchen
and cluck until someone went and
found the egg: then she would fly up
on the window sill and peck a; the win
dow as a sign that she wished to 70
outdoors.
Finally little koo-Koo died. and was
stuffed and used az an ornament. Mrs.
Entwisle wrote a very pretty little
story. founded on the history ~ koo-
Koo. and sent il TO be read TO the chill
dren in the far-away land whence came
the hen. There il took 80 well that il
was translated into Chinese and read
10 the little Chinese children in their
own language. Ii was the story OF a
little hen called Koo-Koo. which UNDER
took to support one little Chinese girl
that She might be educated. 1t con-
tanned an account OF meeting OF the
children Of koo-Koo. quite a numerous
tribe Of various ages.
After hearing that story read. a Chi
nese boy painted picture of the meet
ing of koo-Koo and her descendants
to represent a scene described by Mrs.
Entwisle. 1t represents the old hen
and three younger ones. with eight or
ten very small chicks. The picture is
made on a sheet of brown paper. and
the hens are almost life-size for Chi
nese hens. II was sent TO the missions
ary headquarters in Boston first, and
Yesterday was sent down TO Mrs. Ent-
wisle. by whom it is highly priced

Mr.. Mckinley has been NJ Manila .

What is the result OF this intimate

a lucky chance; the garrison Of Manila
doubled TO overawe the people.
He has been practising what may be
called more strenuous" sort OF ''be-
nevolent assimilation" in the outlying
districts for IL months. He has swept
the towns and the rural districts Of
Luzon with fire and sword.
Result: He can show himself only
where he is protected by a circle OF
bayonets; guerrilla warfare in the
north; insurgent armies in the south.

Chairman Wells Visits Galveston

Hon. James b. Wells of Browns
Vile, chairman Of the state demo-

tafy Of the committee, arrived in
Galveston yesterday morning and
spent the day in driving over aud
viewing the wrecked portion of
( the city. They will remain here
to day and give some attention to
matters political
"What a change the storm has
made in Galveston" SAID Mr..
Wells to News reporter at the
fremont hotel last evening. "No
Que could realize it without behold
ing it with his own eyes, nor with
ont a previous acquaintance with
the city. | had not been IN Gal
weston until this mo-nIng siuce the
day following the adjournment of
the democratic state convention in
1898, and great change that has
been wrought has affected me
deeply. 1 have always had an af
lection for Galveston and felt
special interest in tie city. My
parents had many friends here,
and l read law in Galveston in
1873 in the Office of Gresham &
Mann, Sblatter, Morgan Mann's
father being a friend of my mother.
They had an Office in the BaIlinger
building, whore BalIinger, Mott &
Jack and nearly all the leading
lawyers of that time had their Of
fees.
"My knowledge of Galveston
ard her people and my feeling for
the place is such that I have per-
feet confidence that the city will be
rebuilt. 1t can not be otherwise;
the necessities of commerce demand
it. We have no other deep water
port on the Gulf coast between /,
New Orleans and Tampico, and the
port of Galveston must be main
tained.''
Mr.. Wells had but little to say
about political affairs yesterday.
lie said he had not been over the
Tenth congressional district, but
out had been in close touch with
within it, and he felt
satisfied with the prospects for
democratic success Galveston

EASE AND DISEASE
A Short Lesson on the Meaning
of p Familiar " Grid.

Disease is the opposite of ease.
Webster defines disease as "lack
of ease, uneasinesS, trouble, vexa-
ton, disquiet.' 1t is a condition
due to some arrangement of the
physical organism. A vast major
ity of the "dis-eaSe" from which
people suffer IS due to impure
blood. Disease of this kind is
cured by HoOd'sSarsaparilla which
purifes, enriches and vitalizes the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparllla cares
serOfuIa, salt rheum, pimples and
all eruptions. 1t toues the stom-
ach and creates good appetite,
end it gives vigor and vitality to
the whole body. 1t reverSes the
condition of things, giving health,
comfort aud "ease'' in place of
"disease.
