CHURCHES NOT DESECRATED.
Philippine Insurgents, Not American
Soldiers, Have Used Them
for Defense.

From private letter, written by an
officer in the United States army who
is now in the Philippines, the following
extract shows that the Americans are
not desecrating the Filipino churches,
as has been charged. The letter says:
Yesterday we were cunning for in
surrectos about five miles out. | had
the advance with orders to enter the
town. We advanced with great eau
ton, but as we crossed the bridge and
received no fire and came unmolested
nearer to the church, which the insur-
rectos always use for defense, made
up my mind that the 400 insurrectos
reported there had migrated to a
healthier climate.

Boston Filipinos have been informed
didn't. The American troops do not
desecrate churches which are being
used as churches; only churches which
have been utilized by the insurgents as
forts, the windows in many instances
closed with masonry and loop-holed,
have been occupied by our troops.
sour usual welcome to the services
of the churches has been exceedingly
warm, and the churchs greeting
consisted of Mauser bullets, which were
more blessed for the insurectos TO
give than for the approaching Amer
leans to receive.

use in sheltering our troops, consider

their advice must be at least asked
before any important step is taken.
In Cook county, for instance, each of
the big parties has six or eight asso-
ciate bosses, but in each case there is
one among them who can, on show
down, deliver more delegates than any
of the others. He is the boss.
"Next in rank below the boss, in a
city like Chicago, stands the class of
men known as go-betweens. The du-
ties of the go-between are many. In
the first place, he is supposed to dress
well in a somewhat flashy style. He
is obliged to attend all the voting con-
tests, raffies, funerals and fairs in his
ward or district, and to be on terms

The report states that "the demand
for funds for live stock and ranch in

active, and there is confidence estab-

the state heretofore unsurpassed.
There is a general disposition
among settlers of the state to i'm

manner the real and personal prop
erty' interests have become valuable
as basis of security for reasonable de-
mands from the banks.

The Boss. up of one of the
regular party machines. Machines win
victories, at any rate, and the reform
ers may get few ideas from the
analysis which will be useful when
they go to organize their next cam
paign.
I'm the first place, reform or any
other political movement has got to
have boss, call him by what name
you choose. Right here is where the
reformers usually fall down. They
choose boss, or a leader, if you pre-
fer that name, on the spur of the mo-
ment, and they rarely get the right
man. Now, in one of the regular ma
chimes no man gets to be boss except
as the result of a long and more or
less painful evolution. He works his
way up, as a usual thing, and when
he is admitted to be the boss every
cog in the machine knows all about
him.

man is recalcitrant and absolutely re-
fuses to accept the olive branch he
must have the nerve to drive him out
into political darkness, where there is
no patronage or drawing of salaries.
In addition to ability as harmonizer
he must be an organizer, though n
man is rarely one thing without being
the other at the same time. The boss
must have tact as well as push.
"The reformer who sets out to be
boss is likely to be too dictatorial.
He spells his particular brand of re-
form with a capital r, and pays no at
tention to other words which other
reformers would like to capitalize. Re-
formers must learn to be firm in es-
sentials, but extremely polite and
pleasant in less important things.
Often reformer who is temporarily
put in place of a boss is regularly at
the head of some large business,
where his will is law. He fails to
realize that in politics it is necessary
to at least pretend to pay attention
to the opinions of other people.

Regular Weekly Meeting of Council
Held Last Evening,

At the regular weekly meeting last even
ing of the Central Labor Union, which was
held in Typographical Temple. there were
present representatives from thirty-seven
trades union organizations. President Szeg-
edy was in the chair and Mr.. John H.
Brinkman was secretary.
A communication was read from James
town. N. Y, stating that the textile work.
ers employed by firm in that city were on
strike. and asking that a committee be APP
pointed to ascertain whether any of the
firms products are sold in this vicinity. and
II so to inform the dealers of the existing

izer of the same body. were introduced, and

mer The members have endeared them
selves to playgoers here so thoroughly
that it would be a delight to welcome them
as permanent figures in the citys amuse-
mentS. From week to week the pubic has
been more and more impressed with the
fact that this organization, at first regarded
as an experiment and therefore more or less
of a makeshift, is one of the most compe-
tent aggregations of players that summer
or winter brings to the city. The best pieces
in their repertoire were not merely BITS of
casual amusement, but productions of gen.
uine importance, of which no New York
manager need feel ashamed.
The play last night was christopher,

Lucette Ryley. 1t Is one of Mrs Ryley's
early compositions and 1t bears unmistaka-
BILE traces of the novice hand. But for all
that the hand is one whose dainty touches
possess power and skill. The material from
which christopher, Jr.,'' is wrought is
unpromising. The plot is fetched from the
remoteSt confines of probability and the
condolences which are heaped together
show about as much regard for the laws
of chance as a Fourth of July small boy
has for the police regulation. Yet it is a
love story, and a love story covers mud
tude of artistic sins. And the dialogue

that the 11th street cars are scheduled to

Effort to Raise 1900, 900 for Education
of Students.

Through the agency of an endless chain
Rev. J. M. Kellogg, a well-known priest of
this diocese, and professor in the Epiphany
Apostolic College at Walbrook, Md, hopes
to raise at least 100000, the income OF
which will provide for the education of at
least one hundred students. The plan was
devised by Father Kellogg, who has found
the work of the institution much hampered
for considerable period because its in
come was limited, being entirely dependent
on voluntary contributions.
Epiphany College Is one of the prominent
schools for the education of priests in the
United States, and the Josephite Society
under whose auspices it is conducted, Is the
only society of Catholic priests in the coun-
try the members of which devote them
selves exclusively to missionary effort.
One-quarter of a dollar is the sum which
is being asked for from each one to whom
a letter is addressed, together with the
names of three friends who may also be
appealed to. In order to prevent duplica-
ton of letters, extensive card system
has been established. By division into
states and subdivisions for every city of
1000 inhabitants or over, the names of cor
respondents are easily available for com
parison. Replies SO far have been received
from all parts of the United States. Alaska
Canada Europe South America, Cuba, Por-
to Rico and the Philippines.
The mother house of the Josephite Society
is in Europe. In 1872 the branch in the
United States was made Independent OF tne
other. and its headquarters are now at St
JoSeph'S Seminary, Maryland, where the
final studies are made for ordination While
there are as yet but thirty priests in the
society. they have already established one
mission each in Alabama. Arkansas and
Louisiana; two each in Mississippi, Della
ware and Virginia, and two in Baltimore
city, and plans being considered for
locating missions in Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines.
The students at Epiphany Apostolic Col
lege represent almost every part of the
world. Among the students who are there
Is one from Corea, and there are NUMBER
