Committee on the Philippines, made a

Committee on the Philippines, made a
notable speech in favor of the bill
giving the President power to act at
his discretion in regulating affairs in
the Philippines. OF the bill Mr..
Lodge said: This bill is simple but
all-sufficient. 1t makes no declaration
and offers no promise as to a future
we cannot yet predict. 1t meets the
need of the present and stops there.
The President, under the military pow
er, which still controls and must for
some time control the islands, could
do all that this bill provides. But it is
we'll that he should have the direct
authorization of Congress. To under
take any further or more far-reaching
legislation at this time would be, in
my judgment, great mistake. But
believe it to be of great Importance to
define our position, SO that it may be
perfectly understood by the inhabl-
tants OF the Philippines, as well as by
our own people"

A SADIE, SADIE FATE.

This Is the tale of Peter Gum,
Who read and talked of "kopje';
Also of Cronje and the Beers,
Until he could not stopje.
He tackled "je to every word,
Or nearly every onje,
Until his friends and family
Wished war had ne'er begunje.
At evening he was not content
To sit at home and talkje,
But he would ask his wife If she
would like to take walkje."
He hired man to scoop the snow
Which lay upon his lawnje,
And paralyzed his little boy
BY saying, Come here, Johnje."
He bristled DER with news of war,
Said: Butler flew the coopje"
And backed 1t up by saying that
"Old White Is in the soupje!"
He asked friend If she would sing
I'm words Of tuneful soundje,
The ballad When You Have No Coin
You Needn't Come Aroundje!'"
And thus he went from bad to worse,
Until, what do you thinkje?
He tried to drown Great Brltian'a
woes, ts
Likewise his own, in drinkje.
And now they have him in place,
Locked in padded cellje,
Where every day that awful "je"
With all his words he'll yellje.
Take heed, take heed-this simple tale
Should warn you every onje-
Lest you should tempt the fate that
met
Our poor friend. Peter Gunnje

Attendance AT Worlds Fairs.

The bcst-posted correspondents in
Paris seem to unite in the prediction
that the exposition can not possibly
open its doors to the public by April
is. We presume they are right in
their judgment. but we recall predlc-
tions Of the same tenor made about the
Worlds Fair in Chicago in 1898. And
yet there the doors were opened on
time and, though everything was not
in the best Of order for a few weeks
afterward, visitors found plenty to see
and were not seriously incommoded by
the work that was being done. Wheth-
er the French have the same push and
energy to make the best of the inter-
vening remains to be seen. They, at
least, appreciate the situation.
The French have great expectations
regarding the attendance If these
expectations are realized, there win be
60, 100000 paid admissions, or about
four-fifths Of the population of the
United States. A few comparisons in
this connection may not be amiss.
The first great international fail
was held in 1851, in London. The paid
admissions aggregated 100000. 4
was believed that would prove to be
high-water mark for many years, ant
the opinion was strengthened some
what by the Paris Exposition of 1855
when the visitors numbered 100000
less, and also by the second exposition
in London in 1862, which had an at
tendance about the same as the first
1t was in 1867 that Paris had her sec
ond fair. The attendance here broke
all records. The number of visitors
was 10,200,000. In Vienna, in 1873
the number of visitors was less thar
the Paris record, but the Centennial
in 1876, in Philadelphia, had an at
tendance about equal to the great Par
Is crowd. Paris again came to thu
front, in 1878 and 1882 with 16,000,00t
and 2S,000,000 visitors, respectively
Four years later Chicago fixed a new
record with an attendance above 32,
100000, we believe, and that stands t
this day.
The French will have a great show
but we believe they are counting in tot
liberal way when they expect 10000,
900 visitors. The jump is entirely tot
great, but if they say 4O,OOO,OOO the!
may not be disappolnted-Com

Big Ships.

Shipbuilding, and in widely separat-
ed localities. is making great strides.
Across the sea an army of working
men is giving the finishing touches to
the Deutschland, the largest and best
passenger steamer ever built by a
German concern. Figures give no fair
idea in this case. She is the next big
gest vessel afloat. And on this side a
ton. The ship is being built at Cam
den, Me. 1t will be the largest fore
and-aft rigged vessel yet built She
will be of 1850 tons net register. 300
feet long on the keel, 1886 feet over all,
46 fet beam and 26 feet hold. She will
go into the coal trade, and be able to
carry $500 tons.
This six-master will not only be a
monster, but beauty. Her masts will
be of Oregon pine each 116 feet long
with top masts So feet more. The low
er masts will be 26 inches in diameter
in the partners, except the foremast,
which will be so inches. The foretcp-
mast will be 20 inches in the cap and
the others II inches. The bowsprit will
be 50 feet long and jibboom rs feet.
These are salt water vessels. On
Lake Erie there is being built mon
ster for the grain and ore trade. 1t is
the John w. Gates, lately LAUGHED at
Lorain. She is the first of four 500
foot boats to make their appearance
this season. Heretofore the largest
cargo brought down the lake has been
5000 net tons of iron. and the Gates
has capacity for 5000 tons and up
ward. This possible cargo will for a
time have to be shortened, as the har-
bors are little short of the 20 feet of
water required.
The Gates is steel, single decked, bulk
freight steamer, the largest cne LAUGH
ed into fresh water. Her length on
keel is 47S feet, beam 30 feet and depth
80 feet

How to Select a wife.

The Rev. George Nell, pastor of the
Pltman M. Il. church, in the suburban
city CT New Brunswick, N. j., told the
young men Of his congregation how tc
select their wives Sunday evening. A
week ago he gave the young women
some advice on choosing husbands
He said TO the men:
Beware OF the coquette; she has q
very small soul think / can flnd
examples Of her premenading George
street. She has a mannlsh look wears
short skirt, and mans hat with @
feather in it. Flirting is a fearful
thing Have nothing to do with q
flirt, because such young woman has
no power to love.
Beware of the baby grown to the
woman state, young men. A baby il
not a trustworthy being, neither is
this baby woman. The wife should
stand side by side with her husband
and share his burdens. But baby
won't do that.
Choose a woman who can perman-
emily love. 1t is false, what many as.
sert, that lone ends after the honey
moon. If | may make a personal ref.
erence, may say that | have beer
married 10 years, and am more the
lover than l was 13 years ago.
your wife ought to be housewife
Love becomes little sour if the breat
is heavy every week and if the steal
comes up not done. Your wife should
have the power of discreet speech. A
woman who wants to vote, wants tt
get up at meetings and harangue fol
woman suffrage, who wants to go tx
conventions and be away from home
don't marry her know what l an
talking about.
Don't marry professional beauty
But don't marry an ugly woman unless
she possesses many good qualities
There is such a thing as happy mar
riages. Some men and some womer
are failures, but marriage is not fail
ure. Next to the love of God is thu
love of pure and noble woman. -

Why Men seek the Cities.

From Leslies Weekly.
Various explanations have been made Of
the reason for the tendency of our pOpula-
ton to. drift toward the cities and to
abandon the pleasant and healthful sur
rOundings of country life. EX-Speaker
Reed, in his recent address before the
University Settlement Society of New
York, attributed this tendency 10 selfish
ness, which he properly characterized as
THE great master of the human race
He said that while all literature is full OF
the squalOT Of the town, yet men desert
the delights Of the country to flock to the
cities. while broad and fruitful acres are
left behind unOccupied. Mr.. Reed declared
that men are fond Of their kind and seek
each others society in the cOngeSted cen
ters of the cities. They love TO exchange
IDEAS as they exchange merchandise and
I'm this interchange Of sentiment he truth
fully added we lose nothing that We i'm
part. and we gain by everything that IS
impaired TO us" What the effect of this
tendency 10 desert the country will be. the
eX-Speaker did not venture 10 predict IL
is q serious question, worthy Of profound
thought.

Thought She was a Thief.

Here is queer true story, told in the
Boston Transcript about some umbrcl-
las: \ lady who keeps summer board
ing house at the Seashore near Boston
went down the other day to look the
house over and find out what must be
renewed She found numerous umbrellas
left by former boarders, and, tying them
together took the bundle to Boston. To-
have them repaired. She stopped in at
Hovey's and laid the bundle on the floor
at her feet at the counter. When she
had made her purchase she forgot her
umbrellas, and Extraordinarily picked w
an umbrella lying on the counter, think
ing it was hers, or not thinking at all
and started eff.
Then the owner of the umbrella. a
woman standing next her, seized her and
said very sharply: You have taken my
umbrella" OF course she apolQgizcd
feeling much cut up about II. and went
ON, forgetting in her huster her own
bundle of umbrellas. The next day. on
her way to Cambridge she went to Ho-
vey's and readily recovered her lost pack
agc of umbrellas, which had been KEEP
for her. On the car for Cambridge she
noticed a lady eyeing her very closely
Presently this lady leaned forward and
said to her. with elegant emphasis:
You seem to have been more FORUM

1t was the lady whose umbrella sh,
had taken the day before.
