GERMAN RELIGIOUS CRISIS,
louisville Courier-Journal.)

louisville Courier-Journal)
The Boer war seems to have greatly
stirred up the Christians of Germany.
Urged by their press ard clergy, they
have been praying devoutiy for the defeat
of Great Britain and were assured that
their prayers would certainly result in
the triumph of the Beers.
Now that the Beers have about She
cumbed to the inevitable, a discussion is
raging throughout the religious press OF
Germany as to whether these prayers
nave been answered, some of the papers
entering into elaborate explanations why
the prayers have failed and others con-
tending that they have not in reality
Jailed, Whatever may be the superficial
appearance. The Literary Digest goes
condition OF affairs in South Africa on
the subject of prayer has actually be-
come living problem TO the religious life
of Germany"
The Stuttgart Sontagsblatt explains that
prayers or Christians in regard to earth
~ Things are not sure of unconditional
hearing"
The Kirchenzeitung insists that even if
what was prayed for has not followed in
the results of the war. nevertheless the
prayers have been answered, the situa-
ton being las the battle of Aaron and
Hur against the Amalekites."
One paper attempts 90 settle the matter
by announcing that the Lord never inter-
iereS, prayers or no prayers, unless the
wars are religious.
The Christliehe Welt fatty says this Is
untrue, and boldly proclaims that all
prayers are answered, and that the pray
ers In the present instance have been an
swered because the result of the war has
demonstrated the utterly corrupt hypoe-
riSy of England"
Come, come, brethren, surely there is
no excuse for such a heated discussion
in Germany, of all lands. Let the con
tention be referred for decision to the
senior member of the firm of Me UnC
Colt" What he says goes, especially OF
all questions of war and religion.

sometimes leads him astray. He and
Jeffries recently met in the game city,

The little map on this page is based in
every particular save one upon the latest
official chart of the Alaska coast and
frontier. This official delineation of our
boundary was published by the coast
and geodetic survey in March. 1900
The line of the present boundary as it
appears on the map in dots and daShes
has remained just where it is on
all government maps Of our pos
sessions ever since Alaska became
a territory of the United States
in 1857. Before 1867 the line had
remained just where it is, and remained
undisDuted, for forty-tWO years on the
RUSSIAN maps, marking the limits OF
Russian possessions in North America
Precisely the same boundary line ap-
pears on the British maps, including even
so recent an atlas as that which the
London Times published in 1887
The heavy black line inside of the
boundary line denotes with sufficient ac-
curacy the provisional boundary of the
modus Vivendi arranged last October by
Mr.. Hay with Lord Pauncefote and Mr..
Reginald Tower

PHILIPPINE INVESTMENTS.
(san Francisco Call Rep9

(San francisco Call (Rep.)
The frequent warnings of the Cali about
the industrial conditions in the Philip
pines. and our conclusions that wherever
military vigilance is relaxed or altogether
Withdrawn there will be, no safety for
Americans, are verified from a source
that every investor must respect The AS
ISOLATED Press reports the findings of a
han dozen agents of American investors,
who are in the islands and have investi-
gated the conditions there
Their reports contain no encouragement
They md no Saftey outside the garrison
towns. To get good title to land is at
present impossible. The only openings
there are in the beer and liquor lines, and
such others as depend on army trade.
The mining experts report nothing IN

that far superior investments in that line

curIty for life and property.

ers are concerned. they are found to be a
myth. American labor cannot exist there.
not only on account of the ill-feeling of
the people against US and the already
dense state of the population, but because
of the climate, which is poison TO our
race.
As we have insisted. no government is
responsible for these things. The people
of the United States chose to deliberately
deceive themselves about the Industrial
and physical conditions of the islands
Proceeding without information or in
spite of it, they chose to look upon the
acquisition of the Philippines as securing
territory to which Americans could re-
sort for permanent homes as they did
TO our continental area between the two
oceans. This they could not do If every
native were our friend and standing at
the beach to welcome US with music and

posed by experience the truth of the

barrassed of every policy founded upon

GIRL BABIES.
New York WorIdA.

An Omaha woman bought for SO a
guarantee from the spirit world that her
next child would be a boy. When the
child arrived it proved to be twins. and
girls Instead of cOngratulating herself
on the superior good sense and generosity
of the spirits. the woman had the inter
mediary in the transaction thrown into
jail
Inere are many women who have this
prejudice against girl babies, and an
amazing prejudice II is. whether the mat
ter be looked at from the sentimental or
the practical standpoint
After the first few years of helpless an I
drooling infancy a boy is, as a rule, of no
use to his mother, no companion for her,
and source of increasing anxiety. Just
as he attains to years of discretion ne
marries and thenceforth belongs to his
wifes family. The girl. on the other hand,
is pleasure to her mother in infancy. a
companion in girlhood and comfort and
support in old age
A woman who has a boy baby makes an
investment for the benefit of some other
womans old age. A woman who has a
girl baby makes an Investment for her
self. For when the daughter marries. the
mother has secured homo and a bread
winner.
The more girl babies a woman has the
larger is her insurance against loneliness
and poverty in the evening of her life
