Iorto Rico needs sttsution jnit now
much more ttau the Philippines. Ac-
c riding to our own commanders that is
land is worss.of now than It was under
Spanish rule. When Spain Owned It car
tain markets were open to u and IL had
. chance to dispose OF its products. Now
all of them ars closed, and the PEOPLE are
In almost a. tad d jndi6isn as tho recon-
centrndos CT Cuba. President Mckinley
pointed cut the facts in his message and
recomr: ended as a measure Of relief that
our marx ITS be opened free to the island.
But strong opposition has grown up to
this recommendation on the ground that
c lin American Industries will be hurt
oy free trade v i:h the island, and appsr-
emily Congress is keeping the matter In
allegiance. il would be an everlasting
disgrace to this oourtry If u war begun
for humanity should result In plunging
q people, vhich that war transferred TO US,
into widespread and dire distress. But
that Is likely to be the outcome In Porto
Rico unless Congress acts quickly and de-
cisiTely.

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION

One Chicago man successfully re-
PEELED an importunate beggar on State

for a car when a shabbily dressed hui
man being shuffled up to him and gasp
ed out request for cents to pay for
a bed and a bowl of soup. AS the re-
quest was strongly tainted with sug-

man looked him carefully in the eye

look like a reasonable fellow; I'll make
you straight business proposition. I'll
step into this drug store with you and
each of us will take out all the money
he has in his clothes and let the clerk
divide equally between us. Is it a
go?"
The beggar looked at him only a sec
ond, then he murmured something
about going" but it was in reference
to the man and his possible destination
After which the bedless one turned on
his heel and shambled up the street.

INSPECTION MAY CEASE.
THE ISSUE TO BE PRESENTED
TODAY.
Sanitary Committee Calls a Meeting Of
the Observation-Disclosures Men Must
Fish or Cut Bait"

The call for a meeting of the Sanitary
district inspectors for o'clock this
afternoon has aroused a great deal of
attention. There will i'm all probability
be a large attendance. The meeting
was called by the Citizens Sanitary
Committee and the issue will be
squarely presented Of whether the in
spection shall be continued or not.
One of the committee put the matter
thus: THE inspection is more in the
interest Of business than anything else.
If inspection is discontinued regulations
regarding shipments of merchandise
must be stricter. Therefore it is largely
q question of whether the merchants
and the business men want the inspec.
ton bad enough to take the necessary
interest in it and make the necessary
sacrifices for it to be made thorough
and effective Inspection is done well
in most districts. But it is surprising
how quickly the irresponsible element
finds out where it is not done well and
where II they get sick. they can so and
hide. In Justice to those who do their
work well, it must be done well all over.
For this to be done the merchants and
business men must show more interest
and give greater all than they have
done lately.
THE meeting is to get the views and
opinions of the inspectors. We want
the members of the Foard of Health,
and merchants and business men there
to hear them. 1t has come to a pOiEt
where we have got to fish or cut bait.
The suh-inspectors have grievances Of
their own and a meeting of them may
lie called. Many of them feel that they
are doing a lot of hard work that is in
eeffctive because their reports do not
receive attention at the hands of the
Sanitary Committee

morning with full assurance that the
mother heart of the world would find the
Lords great highway by which they could
arrive at spiritual and human freedom.
The hour was impressive and sIgnitl-
cant as these representative women gath
cred on the platform. The vast audlto-
rum. perfect in its proportions and ar
rangements, was decorated with flags OF
all nations and of every State in the
Union. The platform was brilliant in its
setting of flowers and ferns and crowded
with distinguished women, while music
with its universal language spoke to all
nations in one voice.
Like the Sunday service, the place was
packed from orchestra to dome. To those
who had the financial side always in view
it was most gratifying to find before the
first session was over that every seat for
the week had been disposed of. In the
admission part of the house there was no
more standing room.
The question was answered whether the
public would be there at the morning ses-
Sions or whether the Finance Committee
would have to rely principally upon the
incomes of the night sessions.
Behind the scenes were gathered those
who were to occupy the platform-the
President, the officers, the speakers for
the day, and distinguished visitors. Before
the moment arrived for them to be pre-

The Capital of the United States was
chosen as the proper place for holding the
First Council of Women from the nations
OF the earth.
After months OF preparation by the plo-

were sent to all associations of women in
the professions, in trades, in reforms. This
herculean task of making all the necessary
arrangements fell chiefly upon Miss An
thony. Miss Rachael Foster and Mrs. May

Invitations for the appointment of dele

The Chinese Dragon.
ington.

In China the five-clawed dragon is the
emblem Of royalty. Usually it is pictured
as rising from the sea and clutching at
the sun. thus expressing the idea Of uni
versal dominion. The Emperor's person
is called the dragons body, his throne the
privilege allowed to but few, is to see the
Dragons face. The Emperor's crest is q
dragon; dragon appears on the Chinese
flag.
The dragon Is called "Lung" in China
and symboliZes all that is imposing and
powerful. The mass Of the people be-
iieve in the dragon as an actual existence
and waste much time and money in at
tempting to propitiate the monster The
dragon has been described by Chinese
writers as a most fearsome-looking mon
stcr, and they give it all sorts of extraor-
dinary attributes.
There are three kinds Of dragons, one Of
the sky, one of the marshes and one of
the sea. The two former must remain in
their habitat, but the latter, the most pow
erful, can rise to the sky and holds do
miniOn over the rivers.
This dragon is greatly feared by fisher
men. and they take great pains to treat
it with due respect and courtesy. Every
Spring the fishermen gather and march in
professions in honor OF the dragon, each
man carrying pole with u lantern made
in the form of fish. A huge dragon, AMI
mated by men concealed in his body,
heads the procession. For a month dar.
ing the early Summer tho fishermen set
fire to joss papers and throw them upon
the waters to appcase the Lung Wang,
as the water dragon is called. And of all
seasons the fishermen throw over vast
quantities of frecrackers from their boats
in order to keep the lung away. The lung
is supposed not to like the noise Of eI-
ploding crackers.
All Mandarins of high rank have a
dragon embroidered in gold thread on COL
ored silks on the front and back of their
coats. This dragon is distinguished, how.
ever, from the Imperial dragon by having
but four claws. The dragon is also a ia.
vorite emblem upon plates and cups
among the richer classes.
