WILL DRAFT MEN
Before Two Years For Philippine
War, Soldier Predicts.

William Milestone, Corporal of
Company F. Forty third United
States Volunteers, writing home
from the town of Alangalang, p. l.,
mades the following statements:
Sergeant Overly and 1 went out
with a detachment of II men yes
terday and ran into 100 or more in
surgents. We captured four and
brought them in. We kept these
prisoners only because we wanted
them to work and to get what infor-
nation we could from them. These
are the only prisoners we have
taken except one, and the Captain
had us shoot him. We can't take
care of them.
'If the United States doesn t
look out it will have more than it
can handle. They will be drafting
men before the next two years.
They will have to have about 30.-
coo for these islands between now
and the 30th of next June, as our
time is out then. Then we will
come home and read about the other
fellows a while.

A Chinese Oninion.

Our Chinese Minister, WI Ting
Fang, gives in Frank Leslie's
Monthly for September a fine argu-
ment in favor of the wage.earning
woman. He says:
mo foreigner in America fails to
be impressed with the Importance
of the role women play in this
country. Their activity in the
social and business world gives
certain subtle qualities to Ameri-
can life not found where the in
huence of women is less generally
and definitely eXerted. 1t seemed
to me once that there was danger of
woman usurping mans place in
the world. | have come to think
that it does not much matter if she
does. / believe in the survival of
the tittest. Success, surely, is the
only test of fitness. Let the woman
go on then; let them go as far as
they can. Those who are unfit for
the race will fall by the wayside
and only the truly fit can win. If
women encroach of the vocations of
men, then the men, if they are
worth their salt, must forge far
ahead, that means advancement
for the world. "
China is said to be the most con-
servative country in the world, but
for progressiveness and profound
philosophy the utturance of our
Chinese ambassador is hard to sur
pass. Would that he might for a
brief period drop his role of am
bassador and become a missionary
to that large and distinguished
class Of Americans whopride them,
selves on their learning, culture
and craftsmanship, but who are 50
deep in the back-woods that they
have not discovered this elemen-
tary truth, that woman's advance
ment "means advancement for the
world" " Woman S educational ad-
vancement means the educational
advancement of the world, woman S
social advancement means the
social advancement of the world;
woman $ industrial advancement
means industrial advancement of
the world; and woman's political
advancement means the political
of the world. Here
is the whole "woman question" IN
a nutshell.

RUSSELL's CASE.
EddyviIle Minister to BE Tried
-lfss EsE
Before His Presiding Elder.

The case of Rev. i. M Russell,
of Eddyvile, who surrendered his
credentials as a minister to the
conference just closed at Elizabeth
town, by reason of charges in cir
culation about him which affect his
standing as a minister, has been
referred for trial before the presid-
ing elder of his district, the Rev. J.
W. Bingham The charges are to
the effect that the hunbaudof a GER
tain woman intercepted a letter
which Mr., Russell had written to
his wife, and which he did not
think was the proper kind OF let
ter for minister and a married
man to address to the wife of an
other man. The letter, it is said,
will be produced in evidence. The
fact that Mr.. Russell has surren-
dered his credentials will not pre-
vent the trial of the case, according
to the rules of Methodist discipline
